Chapter 199: Bibi Dong's Plan
Hu Bai shook his head and said, "Grandpa Qian, this is different. The Angel God is a kind of Power of Faith, and after Sister Xue becomes the new Angel God, she should ascend to the God Realm."
"Moreover, the Angel God's Power of Faith cannot be materialized. When the Empire encounters a crisis, it cannot protect the Empire for us—unless... Grandpa Qian, you want Sister Xue to stay here forever."
"Furthermore, this idea of carrying the Luck of a nation is something I just thought of and haven't tried yet. But in my vision, if the Golden Holy Dragon serves as the Guardian Dragon of the Spirit Empire, then its strength will be tied to the Empire."
"The more prosperous and powerful the Empire becomes, the more its strength will be enhanced. Conversely, if the Empire declines and its luck decreases, then not only will there be no enhancement, but it might even suppress its strength."
"This can also be used to test whether the policies our Empire formulates in the future are effective and beneficial for the people."
Qian Daoliu was also shocked by Hu Bai's insights. Did he think of so much just by seeing Yu Xiaogang once?
Qian Daoliu said, "Then won't our Spirit Empire have to support Yu Xiaogang? And who knows for how long..."
"Moreover, with his current talent, reaching Soul Saint is probably his limit. His current innate soul power is only a little over level four. If he were thirty or forty years younger, there might still be hope for Soul Saint, but he is no longer young."
"Unless... he takes Foundation Establishment Pill again to boost his talent, but if Foundation Establishment Pills are taken too many times, the effects will worsen."
The worsening Qian Daoliu referred to was not that the Soul Master developed drug resistance to the Foundation Establishment Pill, but rather that the effect of the Pill decreases on Soul Masters with higher innate soul power.
With Yu Xiaogang's current innate soul power, to raise it to innate level six, he would probably need to take two Foundation Establishment Pills!
Hu Bai chuckled. "Grandpa Qian, you're being too rigid. Didn't Yu Yuanzhen just exchange three Foundation Establishment Pills and take them back to his family? Let's figure out a way to make Yu Xiaogang take all three pills—that would be great!"
"Once Yu Xiaogang's strength reaches a certain level, he can be 'harvested.'"
Although feeding Yu Xiaogang Foundation Establishment Pills might seem wasteful, the energy from these pills is theoretically absorbed by Luo Sanpao.
If Luo Sanpao could be lured to Spirit Hall to serve as the Guardian Dragon of the Empire, it would be worth it.
If the Golden Holy Dragon and Yu Xiaogang could be separated, the Golden Holy Dragon would become an existence between a Martial Soul and a Soul Beast—similar to the Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent in Slaughter City.
It would not produce a soul ring.
However, there are some differences from the Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent. The Golden Holy Dragon might possess some characteristics of a Martial Soul, meaning its cultivation speed would be much faster than that of ordinary Soul Beasts.
Of course, all of this is just Hu Bai's speculation.
This could also be an experiment of his—to see if he can use this anomaly in the future to alter the relationship between the Soul Master and Soul Beast factions.
Although he was currently absorbing Soul Bones, he felt that integrating Soul Beast bones into the body was not a proper cultivation method.
In other cultivation worlds, people hunt exotic beasts and use their fur and bones to make weapons for self-defense. They would absolutely not integrate the bones of exotic beasts into their bodies; it felt like drinking poison to quench thirst.
This is why, even with the emergence of Spirit Soul contracts in later generations, the Soul Beast race gradually became endangered.
Because Soul Masters not only need soul rings from Soul Beasts but also Soul Bones!
Now, due to the appearance of Spirit Soul Souls, a single Spirit Soul could provide multiple soul rings, leading many Soul Masters to kill Soul Beasts wantonly to obtain their Soul Bones.
But what if, in this world, Soul Masters' cultivation did not require so-called soul rings, but instead relied on Legacy Soul Skills, Legacy Cultivation Techniques, and similar methods?
And what if Soul Beasts did not produce soul rings and Soul Bones after death? Would the cultivation system of this world return to normal?
Would the factions of Soul Master and Soul Beast in this world also revert to a standard state?
Hu Bai was never a saint. Unless his strength reached a certain level, he would not stubbornly adhere to the cultivation system he envisioned.
After all, he was on the side of humanity, and his current growth also required soul rings and Soul Bones. When faced with the soul rings and Soul Bones he needed, he would act without hesitation.
Perhaps this would make people think he was hypocritical, but once he became a god and gained the ability to change all of this, there would naturally be great scholars to interpret the scriptures for him.
"Then how do we get Yu Xiaogang to take the medicinal pills? That's a problem," Qian Daoliu said indifferently.
With the previous experience of Yu Xiaogang stealing the Dragon Transformation Secret Method to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills, Yu Xiaogang's situation in the family was probably not very good now.
Everyone would be wary of him to prevent him from secretly taking the Foundation Establishment Pills.
"I have a plan for that," Bibi Dong said indifferently.
"However, this plan requires your parents, Xiao Bai, to cooperate. First, their strength must be raised to level ninety."
"Ah?"
"Teacher, what's your plan?" Hu Bai was also curious.
Bibi Dong said indifferently, "Your parents should be back from their mission and resting at home, right? Didn't we get six high-quality Soul Bones from Tang Hao a while ago?"
"At that time, let Xie Tian and Hu Leyao choose suitable Soul Bones to absorb. They are both high-level Soul Douluo now, and only need a seventy- to eighty-thousand-year Soul Bone to probably reach level ninety."
"Then, let them and I cast an illusion together on Yu Yuanzhen and the others while they sleep, and secretly slip the Foundation Establishment Pills from Yu Yuanzhen's hand into Yu Xiaogang's mouth. That's all."
Good idea!
If Xie Tian and Hu Leyao advanced to Titled Douluo, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill could definitely influence Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiao.
Of course, that wouldn't be foolproof enough.
The hundred-thousand-year Soft Bones Rabbit Soul Bone that Bibi Dong possessed was the main illusion.
With the three of them jointly casting an illusion on Yu Yuanzhen and his group as they slept, it would be very convincing, and they would likely not detect it!
Afterward, Bibi Dong controlled the two Soul Bones on her body to fly in front of Yue Guan and Gui Mei: "Yue Guan, Gui Mei, you two have worked diligently and are considered veterans of three generations of the pope. These Soul Bones are what you deserve."
Bibi Dong had long seen Yue Guan and Gui Mei's longing for Soul Bones.
In fact, with their contributions to Spirit Hall, they should have received a Soul Bone reward long ago.
But that was assuming Qian Xunji was still alive.
And assisting her—if it weren't for Hu Bai—these two would probably still be her tools.
Now, a Soul Bone for each of them could be considered her acknowledgment of their past contributions!
"Yes, thank you, Supreme Pontiff!"
In private, they were more accustomed to calling Bibi Dong the Supreme Pontiff, and this time, it was from the bottom of their hearts.
