Just as she was about to defect, Bibi Dong obtained a simulator.

Chapter 79 Sun and Moon Continent
[At twenty-eight, your mother sends you a message: the Soul Douluo she sent to track Tang San hasn't contacted you for a long time. Your heart sinks, and you become even more anxious.]

You told your grandfather that you wanted to complete the divine exam as soon as possible so you could help your mother, and he simply smiled and nodded, agreeing to your request.

This year, you completed the divine trials even faster, traveling from the southernmost part of the continent to the far north. Ultimately, only the final test, the test of conscience, stood before you.

[You've heard your mother mention this final exam many times. She says that no matter how gifted someone is, if their will is not firm, their mind is not focused, and their mental state is not perfect, this will be an insurmountable obstacle in their path.]

But you didn't take those words to heart; you firmly believed you would succeed and become a true angel.

"That's true. As long as the simulation lasts long enough, I've never seen a future where Xiaoxue doesn't become an Angel God."

Bibi Dong nodded, gaining a deeper understanding of her daughter's excellence.

As for Tang San's disappearance, it was just that a Soul Douluo was discovered. Bibi Dong had expected it. She had already eliminated Tang San's relatives and friends one by one in the simulation. If Tang San hadn't hidden away to seek an opportunity to retaliate, she might have thought that Tang San had been replaced again.

At twenty-nine, following your grandfather's final instructions, you embarked on the path to godhood. You never imagined that becoming an angel would require losing your beloved grandfather. But the sacrifice has begun, leaving you no time for reflection.

You met many different people; some were flattering, some indifferent, some hypocritical, some enthusiastic, some opportunistic, and some principled.

Some wear elaborate masks, hiding their true feelings beneath layers of pretense, only revealing a few deliberate smiles when exchanging benefits; others shed all embellishments, facing the world's harsh realities with sincerity, refusing to bend their spines even after enduring hardships.

[All beings in this illusory world exhibit countless facets, each playing out their own joys and sorrows, their own choices and sacrifices. Standing amidst it all, you understand the complexity of the human heart and, more importantly, the preciousness of upholding one's true self.]

[On the long staircase leading to the divine realm, you recognized yourself, strengthened your will, and became a god.]

You left as a pair, but returned alone. You went back to Wuhun City to find your mother and told her about your sorrow.

Three days later, bury your sorrow deep within, for this is not the time to grieve.

Your mother is showing you the naval forces that the Spirit Empire has been developing for several years; their destination is another continent.

You're not surprised, after all, she'd told you about this before; this trip was to gain more faith.

When you inquired about her current situation, she smiled and revealed her aura—a blend of pale gold and ethereal green divine power. Though not entirely pure, it seemed to surpass yours by a great deal.

You voiced your concerns, but she only shook her head and told you that she couldn't purify the divine power of your faith.

The root of faith in divine power lies in the believer's expectations of the deity—believers pour their questions during times of confusion and their prayers during times of distress into the symbols of the deity, giving concrete power to the abstract concept of faith. The combined faith of millions of believers creates a power filled with their desires; once purified, it becomes completely ineffective.

"So that's another way of thinking." Bibi Dong stroked her chin, having learned quite a bit about faith. "But as long as I can become stronger, who cares about purity?"

Bibi Dong didn't care at all whether the divine power was pure or not, after all, it was the only way she could find to quickly become stronger after becoming a god.

Whether divine power is pure or not relates to future potential; but if there's no future, what else matters? [Your understanding of the power of faith has become clearer, and you've also witnessed your mother's efforts.]

[With all preparations complete, you board the warship researched by the Spirit Empire and head towards that unknown continent.]

Half a month later, you arrived at the land called the Sun and Moon Continent, which was ruled by a country called the Sun and Moon Empire. Apart from the significant development of soul tools, it seemed to be no different from the Douluo Continent. In fact, due to the development of combat soul tools, the quality of soul masters was much lower than that of the Douluo Continent.

Your warships seem utterly outdated compared to theirs, but that doesn't matter. The war that was on the verge of breaking out was instantly halted simply because your mother displayed divine power.

Seeing this invincible power, after only a few days of resistance and suffering unimaginable losses, the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire quickly surrendered, and you smoothly brought the Sun Moon Continent into your possession.

"The gap between mortals and gods is still too great."

Seeing that she had easily conquered the Sun and Moon Continent, Bibi Dong sighed with emotion. Not to mention that she had already made great progress this time. If she could conquer the Sun and Moon Continent again and develop for a few more years, she felt that she could probably compete with Tang San, who had inherited the godhood.

[You imprisoned the entire royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, established a second Martial Soul Empire, and simultaneously built Martial Soul Halls throughout the continent, spreading the worship of the Rakshasa God.]

[Faced with those who refused to face reality, your mother wielded her butcher's knife, bringing bloodshed and carnage to the Sun Moon Continent. Although many lives were lost, the Martial Soul Empire became even more secure.]

[Soon, your mother noticed that the power of faith was increasing. She began to cultivate in seclusion, constantly absorbing this power in the hope of breaking through to the realm of God-King.]

You hope she succeeds.

[At thirty, your mother is still in seclusion, cultivating, but the aura emanating from her chamber is growing stronger. This has sparked your interest in the power of faith, and you wish to use it to advance your own path.]

[You started traveling back and forth between Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent, not just to check if there were any anomalies on either continent, but also because you wanted to fall in love.]

"??? You want to be in a relationship?"

Bibi Dong was stunned. This sudden question really left her completely baffled. She looked up, thinking she had missed something, but found nothing unusual.

This year, you met your only friend again—Xia Yu. Even though you had become a god, you still couldn't sense his strength.

He remains the same as he was years ago; your affection for him hasn't faded despite the long separation, but rather deepened upon seeing him again.

You're not the kind of person who hesitates or beats around the bush. Whether it's seeking talent or finding love, you always believe that hesitation leads to defeat, especially when it comes to such an outstanding man.

On an ordinary night, you confessed your feelings.
