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

Chapter 89 Five Gods
For deities like you, faith is essentially no different from ordinary energy—it's merely a special kind of energy that is purer, more impure, and easier to collect.

[You know, your mother absorbed faith both to prepare for the later plan to devour lower-level deities, in case it failed, and also to give it to trusted confidantes like Huliena, helping them break through the shackles of lifespan and prolong their lives.]

The spread of faith has been far smoother than anticipated, a far cry from the previous campaigns and bloody battles.

After all, you truly possess gods.

The Spirit Hall used to enshrine an angel statue, but it has now been replaced by a faceless, androgynous statue.

[It is precisely because such idols lack clear direction that you can more easily divide this vast power of faith to create gods or demigods of various forms and wielding different powers.]

At thirty-one, you and your mother reunited as planned outside Poseidon Island.

[Tang San has officially begun the Sea God's Trial, and the other six members of Shrek Academy have also successively accepted the Sea God's Trial. This time, it's finally your turn to take the stage.]

[You two gods stormed Seagod Island, stirring up chaos with lightning speed, plunging the island into utter confusion.]

[You kidnapped Tang San right in front of everyone, leaving the other six standing there, seething with rage, but powerless to stop you due to their inferior strength, only able to unleash their impotent fury.]

Your true scheme has always been to help those six people become gods as soon as possible, laying the foundation and providing support for your subsequent plans.

[If Tang San were to ascend to godhood alongside them, it would be tantamount to raising a tiger to threaten your plans. It would not only be of no benefit but would also become the biggest variable and obstacle.]

Rather than passively waiting for them all to become gods and watching the threat grow, it's better to abduct this most potential threat first.

[This eliminates a major threat and also serves as bait to put pressure on the remaining six, forcing them to grow stronger in dire circumstances—a win-win situation.]

"That's really good, it gave those guys some motivation."

Bibi Dong carefully examined the simulation and found that it indeed suited her tastes quite well.

To ensure the performance was flawless and without any openings, you specifically dispatched a large number of Soul Saints and Soul Douluos to lie in wait around the perimeter of Seagod Island, establishing layers of defense.

This move wasn't intended as a genuine encirclement or annihilation, but rather to exert sufficient pressure on the Shrek Six Monsters, making the "kidnapping Tang San" scenario seem even more realistic.

[But you have already given a strict order: when facing those six, they must be captured alive, and killing is strictly prohibited; their lives must not be harmed.]

[Because of this order, the attacking Soul Masters were hampered and unable to exert their full strength.]

With the full support of the Title Douluos from Seagod Island, the Shrek Six Monsters quickly seized an opening and broke through.

At thirty-two, you never let your guard down, secretly monitoring the Shrek Six's every move with your secret techniques, silently waiting for the plan to steadily progress along its predetermined path.

Surprisingly, their soul power advancement speed was astonishingly fast, far exceeding the normal level of soul masters of the same rank.

That rapid progress was clearly not solely due to the Sea God's Trial; there seemed to be other hidden forces secretly propelling it forward.

At thirty-three, you reunite with Xia Yu.

[He has successfully ascended to the Divine Realm and wielded divine power. With his assistance, your confidence is even greater.] [At thirty-four years old, in just two short years, the Shrek Six Monsters have experienced a qualitative leap in strength—they have successively broken through the level ninety bottleneck and entered the ranks of Title Douluo.]

At the same time, several faint yet real fluctuations of divine power suddenly appeared in the world, clearly entering your perception, confirming that they were steadily moving towards the path of divinity.

At the age of thirty-five, a thunderous roar suddenly resounded outside Martial Soul City. Five imposing figures stood in mid-air and descended upon the city—among them was none other than Ma Hongjun, the newly appointed wielder of the God of Fire, whose aura was overwhelming.

"I never expected that this fat guy would become the only Level 1 God among them."

Bibi Dong was genuinely surprised, but upon considering the other party's martial soul, she immediately understood.

After all, the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is already the highest-level Martial Soul among the Shrek Seven Devils.

[Yet you showed no fear. You and your mother flashed into view, appearing opposite the five gods, forming a standoff.]

[Your mother was holding a dying Tang San in her arms. He had endured countless rounds of torture by his subordinates, and you had already extracted all the secrets from him.]

[Furthermore, under the layers of erosion from the Rakshasa God's divine power, even his core secrets from another world have been thoroughly discovered and revealed without reservation.]

[You witnessed the five gods opposite you suddenly shrink their pupils, their eyes instantly igniting with boundless rage, their mouths uttering harsh words vowing to make you pay for your blood debts, and before their words had even finished, they charged forward.]

Their growth over the past few years has indeed been astonishing; their strength is now vastly different from what it once was. However, your and Mother's cultivation has not stagnated at all; in fact, you have surpassed them.

This battle of god-like power did not last long.

[In just three minutes, divine light exploded and energy surged throughout the world, ultimately ending in your complete victory.]

[The five gods have all been defeated and subdued by you. Their divine power is firmly locked by a special restriction, rendering them unable to move. They can only surrender and await the activation of your final plan.]

Witnessing the horrific scene of his former comrades being captured and utterly powerless to resist, the last glimmer of hope in Tang San's eyes was completely extinguished, leaving only boundless despair.

He abruptly raised his head, his hoarse voice filled with determination, repeatedly screaming for them to kill him.

[You gathered divine power at your fingertips, about to end his life, but your mother suddenly grabbed your wrist, stopping you.]

"Your mother's sharp gaze swept over Tang San's distraught appearance and said, 'He must have a backup plan. Killing him now would only fulfill his wish.'"

These words were like a sharp, icy blade, piercing through Tang San's last pretense.

He froze, his roar abruptly ceasing. The resolute expression on his face was instantly replaced by deathly stillness. As if all his strength had been drained away, he slumped down, head bowed, and remained silent, only a deep despair and resentment churning in his eyes.

"Heh, killing you now would be too easy on you."

Bibi Dong knew exactly what Tang San was thinking. Once he died, the Asura God would take his soul, thus freeing him from his predicament.

Seeing Tang San, who was already emaciated in the simulation, she smiled coldly and said, "Once my strength improves, I will fulfill your wish."
