After helping the Qian Renxue of the future timeline recover her strength, Su Mo returned to his original world.
With Tang San and Xiao Wu already ascended, Su Mo believed there wouldn't be any major issues for the Qian Renxue of the future timeline.
At the very least, there shouldn't be any danger to her life.
Unless some shameless gods from that side's God Realm interfered with the lower realm to target Qian Renxue.
But that was nearly impossible—both the Sea God and Asura God should have long left that God Realm universe. There weren't that many shameless deities left!
Tang San?
Tang San definitely couldn't descend in the short term.
Before becoming a god, Su Mo might not have been sure, but after inheriting the position of Sea God, he became certain.
Because a god descending to the lower realm consumes a massive amount of divine power. With Tang San's newly ascended cultivation, there's no way he could come down.
Unless he paid a significant price. Even then, a forcibly descending Tang San wouldn't pose much of a threat to Qian Renxue.
After returning to his own world, Su Mo's figure flickered and he arrived at the current imperial church—Spirit Hall.
The good news that the future Qian Renxue had regained her strength naturally needed to be shared with Bibi Dong.
Besides, Su Mo also intended to help Bibi Dong pass the Rakshasa God's trial.
There wasn't much on the continent now that required Su Mo's attention. After unification, the continent was back on track, and everything was improving.
For example, all soul masters on the continent were now registered and governed by the imperial church.
In the past, many soul masters from sects or noble families didn't register with Spirit Hall because they weren't lacking in money.
But now, that was no longer allowed—anyone who was a soul master had to register.
And just like ordinary imperial citizens, all soul masters had to abide by the empire's laws.
Of course, soul masters still held certain privileges over ordinary people—after all, this wasn't a magic-less world but a world of martial souls and supernatural power.
Expecting complete equality in such a world was unrealistic.
Achieving relative equality was already commendable.
Su Mo first appeared within Spirit Hall. After sensing Bibi Dong's location, he instantly reappeared directly in her room.
At the moment, Bibi Dong was busy working.
With Spirit Hall and the Empire having just merged, there was a mountain of tasks that required her attention. She had been exhausted these past few days.
She didn't even notice Su Mo's arrival—which was understandable, as Su Mo's current strength made it difficult for her to detect him.
Su Mo simply stood by and quietly watched Bibi Dong busy at work.
Truth be told, Bibi Dong immersed in serious work carried a unique charm.
In the past, Su Mo had never viewed Bibi Dong with any inappropriate thoughts. He had truly seen her as a sister and a mentor.
But ever since he helped Bibi Dong seize the Pope's body and had that intimate encounter with her, his gaze toward her naturally changed.
At the very least, Su Mo now understood that he didn't want that one intimate moment to be their only connection.
"Rakshasa Sister, I came to see you!"
After quietly admiring her for a while, Su Mo smiled and called out to Bibi Dong.
"Su Mo…"
Hearing his voice, Bibi Dong's movements paused slightly. She looked up at Su Mo with a touch of surprise in her eyes.
"Did you pass the divine trial?"
She quickly stood up and asked Su Mo. She knew he had gone to Sea God Island to undergo the Sea God's Ninth Trial.
"Yes, Rakshasa Sister, I'm now the Sea God!"
Su Mo smiled as he spoke.
"That's wonderful!"
"Tell me how you passed the trial—was it difficult?"
Delighted, Bibi Dong immediately pressed for more details.
She was very curious about Su Mo's trial process and whether it resembled her own past experience.
"It was alright…"
Su Mo smiled slightly, then walked over and sat beside Bibi Dong, beginning to recount his Sea God Ninth Trial.
When Bibi Dong heard the details, she was surprised. She hadn't expected Su Mo's trial to be so difficult—it tested all seven emotions.
After listening, she realized that if it had been her, she might not have passed.
The Sea God's trial method was completely different from that of the Rakshasa God.
Her Rakshasa trial had been a series of difficult tasks that only required completion.
It focused mainly on the level of strength.
"Rakshasa Sister, after becoming a god, my space-time ability has grown stronger. I can now actively travel to the future timeline where you were originally from!"
After finishing his story, Su Mo finally told Bibi Dong about his time-space ability.
"Really?"
Hearing this, Bibi Dong was instantly excited—more excited than when she heard he passed the divine trial.
Because if Su Mo was telling the truth, it meant she could return to the future timeline.
And not just send her soul like last time, but physically travel there.
A soul alone couldn't accomplish anything.
She hadn't even been able to see her daughter Qian Renxue.
But if she could travel there in person, it would be different. She could visit the future Qian Renxue.
To her, the Qian Renxue in this world was certainly her daughter too.
But the future timeline's Qian Renxue was even more so—one who had fought by her side.
Emotionally speaking, that daughter held a heavier weight in her heart.
Naturally, this was also because she knew the future Qian Renxue's situation was dire—her godhood shattered, her soul power forever stuck at Rank 89. She didn't even dare imagine how Qian Renxue had lived after that final battle.
Meanwhile, the Qian Renxue in this world was doing very well. She was now undergoing the Angel God's inheritance, and Bibi Dong believed she would soon complete the trial and succeed the Angel God.
There was no more danger ahead. Tang San had already been killed by Su Mo long ago.
So this world's Qian Renxue didn't need Bibi Dong's concern anymore.
That's why Bibi Dong naturally cared more about the Qian Renxue of the future timeline.
"Of course it's true. Once I realized my ability had improved, I already went to the future timeline once and even found Qian Renxue!"
Su Mo said with a smile.
"Really? How is Xiao Xue doing now?!"
Bibi Dong grabbed Su Mo's arm in excitement as she spoke.
"No—you can still travel there now, right? Take me with you, I want to see Xiao Xue with my own eyes!"
Before Su Mo could answer, Bibi Dong spoke again.
"Rakshasa Sister, that might not be possible for now. My space-time power only allows me to cross worlds—I can't bring anyone else yet!"
"If Rakshasa Sister were still residing in my body, it would have been possible. But now, it's not. We'll have to wait until my power gets stronger."
As he spoke, Su Mo placed his hands on Bibi Dong's shoulders and explained.
"Ah…"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong immediately looked disappointed, then continued, "Then hurry and tell me—how is Xiao Xue doing now?"
"Qian Renxue is doing very well. I've already helped her recover her cultivation. She's once again regained the power of a god."
Su Mo began by explaining that Qian Renxue had already regained her strength.
"Really?"
"You're not lying to me?"
Bibi Dong was instantly overjoyed, yet also found it hard to believe as she stared at Su Mo.
She hadn't expected Su Mo to actually be able to help the Qian Renxue of the future timeline recover her strength.
That was a broken godhood—how could it be restored so easily?
"Rakshasa Sister, did you forget the inner core I obtained from the Dark Evil Demon Tiger? That core contained the remnants of the Evil God's broken divinity—perfect for repairing Qian Renxue's godhood."
"Plus, I gave her the inner core and brain matter of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to aid in her recovery."
"It's just that due to the Evil God's attribute, Qian Renxue's divine nature has changed. Her martial soul has also become the Fallen Angel Martial Soul. So even if she has regained divine power, she can no longer inherit the Angel God's position, nor gain recognition from the God Realm."
"Right now, Qian Renxue only possesses divine power, without a corresponding god position."
Su Mo continued explaining.
"It actually worked…" Bibi Dong finally recalled, and then, feeling deeply moved, looked gratefully at Su Mo. "Su Mo, thank you for helping Xiao Xue."
She was truly overwhelmed. No matter how hard life had been for Qian Renxue after that great battle, now that she had regained divine power, Bibi Dong believed everything would turn for the better.
And it was all thanks to Su Mo.
"Rakshasa Sister, with our relationship, there's no need for thanks."
Su Mo still had his hands on Bibi Dong's shoulders, and he looked at her earnestly and sincerely.
But the way Su Mo looked at Bibi Dong was no longer so pure—it now carried something more.
"Su Mo…"
Seeing Su Mo's gaze, Bibi Dong's heart skipped a beat. Though surprised, she wasn't caught off guard.
After all, she and Su Mo had already been intimate once before. It was only natural that Su Mo's feelings toward her had changed.
And she had been the one to initiate it.
Even if it had been for the sake of taking over the Pope's body.
Thinking of everything between them, Bibi Dong smiled playfully. "Little rascal, what if I thank you like this?"
As she spoke, Bibi Dong straightened her ample chest and lifted her chin slightly.
It was clearly a signal.
"Gulp~"
Seeing this, Su Mo couldn't help but swallow audibly, then burst into laughter. "If you're thanking me like that, then I'll gladly accept!"
"Mmm~"
Right after he finished speaking, Su Mo leaned forward and kissed Bibi Dong's upturned red lips.
Her delicate body trembled slightly, but she didn't resist. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Su Mo and responded with fervor.
What followed needed no elaboration.
Everything happened naturally.
Su Mo and Bibi Dong once again shared a passionate and intimate moment.
But unlike last time, when Bibi Dong had acted out of necessity to shatter the Pope's will, this time there were no external reasons. She was willing—eager even.
It was only after this that their relationship truly changed.
No longer master and disciple, nor sister and brother.
They were now lovers.
…
After the passion subsided, Su Mo held Bibi Dong in his arms and began to share what he had seen in the future timeline.
"As expected, once Tang San ascended, the two great empires started fighting again. The war never actually ended!"
"And the evil soul masters—no one's managing them at all. It's a joke!"
"So in the end, what did Tang San becoming a god bring to the continent?"
"Absolutely nothing changed!"
After hearing about what Su Mo witnessed in the future, Bibi Dong was just as shocked as Qian Renxue had been.
She even felt it was utterly not worth it to have lost to someone like Tang San.
"Qian Renxue feels the same. That's why, after I helped her regain her divine power, she decided to finish what your Spirit Empire left incomplete."
Su Mo smiled as he spoke.
He too couldn't stand the way Tang San had acted after becoming a god in the original timeline.
Let alone how the so-called God King Tang San would later ravage the Douluo Continent.
Even while he was still on the continent after becoming a god, he hadn't made it a better place.
Back then, both the Angel God and Sea God had pursued their divine paths with noble goals, working hard to make the world a better place.
The Sea God quelled the chaos of the oceans, bringing stability to the seas, and was then worshiped into godhood.
The Angel God did the same—she eradicated evil soul masters, wiped out diseases, and spread warmth and light across the continent, thus gaining her divine status.
Even if those diseases were released by the Angel God herself when drawing her divine sword, her goal had always been to change the world—and she had done so.
Only Tang San… perhaps because it had been too easy for him to become a god, he never tried to change anything.
"Then… will Xiao Xue be in danger?"
Bibi Dong immediately grew worried after hearing Su Mo's words.
"Don't worry. There aren't any gods on the Douluo Continent right now. Qian Renxue is still very safe."
"It's just that the Spirit Empire has long since fallen. Reuniting the continent won't be easy."
"Tang San's lingering influence is still present. Even knowing Qian Renxue has regained divine power, most won't show her much respect."
"But it's just a bit troublesome. As long as no one else ascends to godhood, Qian Renxue will eventually succeed."
Su Mo placed his hands where they felt most natural, making himself more comfortable while holding her.
"That's good…"
Hearing that, Bibi Dong finally relaxed a little—but she still couldn't completely set aside her concern.
After all, the future timeline was different from this one. That Tang San still existed over there.
And she remembered what Su Mo had said—the entire Shrek Seven Devils had become gods in that future. Tang San and Xiao Wu may have ascended now, but the rest of the Seven Devils were still around!
"Su Mo, why don't you go help Xiao Xue?"
"Otherwise, I can't feel at ease."
Suddenly, Bibi Dong rolled over and pinned Su Mo beneath her, earnestly pleading with him.
"But…"
Just as Su Mo was about to respond, Bibi Dong grabbed a very specific spot.
Then she leaned down and whispered something into Su Mo's ear.
His eyes lit up instantly.
