Surprise and shock rose in his heart simultaneously, but there was also a sense of relief. Wang Zhong's talent and rapid progress had been evident in the academy.
To reach level ninety-nine after six years was still difficult to accept.
Bibi Dong thought to herself.
Inside the grand hall, Wang Zhong and Bibi Dong talked for a long time. Wang Zhong recounted all his sights and experiences on his journey, including Sea God Island and the Slaughter City. It wasn't until the sun began to set that they parted ways.
As Wang Zhong left, Bibi Dong watched his retreating figure, her expression filled with pride and self-satisfaction. The disciple she had chosen had not disappointed her.
"The Sea God, due to past grievances with the Spirit Hall, gave up his position and chose the neutral position of the Asura God."
"For others, even one divine position would be a tremendous stroke of luck. But little Wang Zhong had a choice. Is this what it means to be favored by the gods?"
"However, it's somewhat strange. Qian Daoliu said that a god watches over little Wang Zhong. Who could it be? The manifestation of his tree spirit martial soul has no connection or similarity to the Asura God."
Lifting her head high, gazing at the starry sky above, Bibi Dong was also lost in thought.
But this confusion came and went quickly. No matter who the god behind Wang Zhong was, or whatever his choice, she still believed that Wang Zhong would always stand by her side.
"Soul Hunting Operation! Is this truly still necessary!"
Murmuring these words, after a long time, Bibi Dong chuckled and shook her head, with a sense of liberation and naturalness, "I've already let go of it in my heart, why dwell on the past."
"Wang Zhong's Asura God, Qian Renxue's Angel God, my Rakshasa God. Three gods within one hall. Looking across the world, who can stand against us."
"As time progresses, the entire continent, the entire world, will belong to the Spirit Hall!"
"Qian Xun Ji, my teacher, you are fortunate, for I have met the child who healed me..."
Her murmurs scattered with the night sky, along with certain obsessions and madness. From this day on, she would be the supreme empress of the Spirit Hall, the one and only Pope.
She had two children: one adopted son, the future Asura God; and one biological daughter, the future Angel God. The mother of two gods. What could make her prouder than this!
Leaving the Spirit Hall, Wang Zhong arrived at an apartment located in the center of the city. Pushing open the apartment door, he shouted, "I'm back!"
Just as he had left, just as he had returned, he always announced his homecoming in this manner.
Three figures appeared simultaneously: one pink, one silver-white, and one fiery red. His childhood companions reappeared.
Joy and excitement filled their faces at their reunion.
Hu Liena threw herself into Wang Zhong's arms, holding him tightly, with a greedy and adoring embrace.
Wang Zhong held her soft body back, burying his face in her golden short hair, and said gently and softly, "Nana, I'm back."
"Mmm!" Hu Liena let out a soft hum from her throat, with a hint of a woman's coquettishness.
"Wang Zhong, welcome back!" Xie Yue said with a gentle and sincere smile.
"Wang Zhong, welcome back!" Yan's voice was rough and enthusiastic.
The three companions were reunited. They had endless stories to ask and share, but some things would ultimately have to be experienced again.
"Zhong, I want to eat your cooking!" Hu Liena raised her head from Wang Zhong's embrace, her smile full of joy.
Just like their reunions after previous partings, Hu Liena raised her hand, excitedly making her request.
"We want to too!"
Xie Yue and Yan exchanged smiles and cheerfully followed suit.
Wang Zhong naturally had no objections, nodding in agreement.
"Okay, okay."
"I understand."
"Let me do the cooking today!"
"It's just been such a long time since I've cooked, I don't know if I can still make the taste of the past."
"Ah, never mind! I want to eat your cooking." Hu Liena laughed and pushed Wang Zhong's back, guiding him towards the kitchen.
As he spoke, Wang Zhong walked towards the kitchen of his memory. Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan followed behind, smiling, ready to assist.
Before long, sounds of busy work and laughter drifted from the kitchen, and the enticing aroma of food soon followed.
Everyone gathered in the main hall, sharing their stories, a scene of warmth and harmony.
Amidst their conversation, a clear and distinct electronic voice suddenly sounded in Wang Zhong's mind. However, he showed no outward reaction, continuing to tell his stories to Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.
"System repair is nearing completion!"
"Please host prepare!"
"Respected host, hello, I am your system. It is a pleasure to meet you across the vast universe and endless worlds."
"You have two upcoming missions!"
"First, kill the soul transmigrator, Tang San!"
"Second, kill the body transmigrator, Yuan Feng."
"Their profiles and introductions are as follows:"
"Tang San, a disciple of the Tang Sect from the land of Bashu in his previous life. He was pursued by sect elders for stealing secret scriptures and inner sect ultimate techniques. Cornered, he leaped from Ghostly Sight Cliff, meeting his end. His soul, due to spatial fluctuations and rifts, arrived here. He has been reincarnated as the son of Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor in this era."
"He is currently on his way to Shrek Academy in the Heaven Dou Kingdom!"
"Yuan Feng, an ordinary person from Blue Star in the 21st century. He was chosen by the Gate of Reincarnation and inadvertently arrived on the Douluo Continent millions of years ago. Through extremely bloody and cruel means, he consumed the flesh and blood of countless beings to forge himself, becoming the most powerful evil god of this era! He founded the Sacred Spirit Cult, with ten elders under him, all of whom are extreme evils and powerhouses brought from other worlds!"
"Yuan Feng is currently in the Perfect World, searching for the path to immortality! Host, please be careful!"
"Rewards for completing the mission are as follows! Mission one completion: World Transmigration Ability. This will be the beginning of your journey to the myriad worlds to find your own opportunities and ascend to the path of supremacy and ultimate strength."
"Mission two completion: World Stabilization and Ownership. You can turn any world you have experienced into an item that belongs solely to you!"
The electronic voice in his mind was crisp and distant. The information it carried left Wang Zhong both confused and astonished.
"Do other worlds truly exist?"
"Heaven Dou Empire, Tang San? The Sea God mentioned that an artifact belonging to him was placed in the treasury of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. It is used to select his successor."
"Sister Yan is also at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. It's a good opportunity to see her, and I can also gift the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake to Senior Dugu Bo."
Thinking of these two matters, Wang Zhong smiled and ate a piece of fish that Hu Liena had brought to his lips.
"Wang Zhong, are you going to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament two years from now?"
"The Elite Tournament, it's a competition for children. If I participate, it would be too much of a bully!"
"That's right, we thought so too. I'm already a Soul Saint, so it would really be bullying to compete, but Pope Bibi Dong said we are the most outstanding students of this generation and should represent the Spirit Hall."
"Is it necessary? Feng Yuansheng, Guan Siyan, Pei Yan, their talents are also top-notch. We won't lose."
