Chu Feng first looked up, then the system's voice rang out.
The reward for obliterating Tang San arrived promptly this time—no delays like before.
[Congratulations, Host, mission completed.]
[Congratulations, Host, you've reached the bottleneck of apotheosis—break through and become a god.]
[Congratulations, Host, you've defied fate once.]
[Congratulations, Host, you've triggered a divine crisis.]
Hold on—this is worth congratulating too?
Isn't that a bit too jarring?
Could it be that the price of completing the mission isn't just altering history's course, but also inviting even greater tribulations of karma?
Then the appearance of this god in the gale makes perfect sense.
[Rewarding Host with a random golden million-spirit power treasure.]
[Rewarding Host with a random golden million-spirit power pill.]
[Unlockable after apotheosis~]
Good grief, the pie-chart starts again~
The goodies look nice, but they don't seem easy to get.
[Bonus reward: one apotheosis mystery box, giftable.]
[Bonus reward: one Spirit ascension, giftable.]
[Host, please deify a second person ASAP!!!]
The system's done bubbling; clearly half the haul is trash.
But there's no time to roast it—the tempest has already flattened half of Suotuo City.
And Bibi Dong, as though spell-struck, had voluntarily plunged into the mess.
By the time Qian Renxue and Chu Feng noticed, Bibi Dong was already face-to-face with the god.
The god's ink-white wings bared scarlet patterns, His face a sharp, hawkish beak.
Plainly a bird-man at root; even humanized he keeps His native look.
"I am the Divinity Great Wind God. Never thought my first prey would be such a beauty."
He promptly introduced himself, eyes raking greedily over Bibi Dong.
A ripe beauty like that—anyone would feel a bit dazed.
"Hmph, fake and lecherous."
Bibi Dong reflexively covered herself, then set her stance.
Her first Spirit, the Death Spider Emperor, gave a low hum within her; the lust for battle had clearly been stoked by Asura.
"Think to oppose me? You believe I'm as foolish as Rakshasa?"
As he spoke, Great Wind God flapped His wings, and the sky turned dark with heavy clouds.
A mighty divine force welled from him—above Rakshasa's level.
Chu Feng ran a system query; he almost found no dossier on this god, yet caught a clue.
Strictly speaking, Great Wind God was a second-rank Divinity in the canon; now he's acting as a proxy first-rank Wind God.
Thanks to the Wind God system's descent, he'd luckily sensed heaven-and-earth spirit power; among deities he now ranked high.
Thus Bibi Dong was striking a stone with an egg—no match at all.
The instant Chu Feng judged that, Great Wind God exhaled a bitter cold wind.
This wind was no trifle: like blades scraping bone in utter cold, the pain pierced to the marrow.
Bibi Dong truly couldn't withstand it; cracks appeared in her armor, her spirit power flickering.
In desperation she summoned a sky-filling rain of Spider-Emperor spikes; purple motes blanketed the heavens.
Whoosh!
The spikes fell thick as rain, forcing their way into the gale—
But it was futile; with a bit more effort from Great Wind God the attack melted away.
Chu Feng and Qian Renxue arrived in time—only to walk into a bigger trap.
They seemed to have entered a snare: invisibly, copious divine force wove mid-air.
"Haha, and here I thought you capable; so easily you stepped into my carefully crafted Tri-God Vital-Array."
The more he spoke the more elated he became, so he simply revealed the formation.
The array drew a triangular boundary trapping entrants within; colored mists drifted, now icy, now bale-fire.
Yet it wasn't the usual ice-and-fire whittling; rather a suppression born of colliding divine forces.
The 'three gods' should include himself, plus ones for life-recovery and attack-boost, though details were unknown.
The array's emergence also showed the apotheosis immortal system merging deeper into Douluo; native Douluo gods, already gifted in insight and cultivation, now gained even greater advantage.
Still, the array didn't trouble Chu Feng and Qian Renxue much—it merely hampered movement; each possessed personal divine force granting immunity, though breaking out would take effort.
Qian Renxue asked, "Feng, got any ideas to get out? Want me to try?"
She couldn't budge an inch yet still so considerate.
But Chu Feng had already chosen: sit tight and watch.
Last time he'd helped Qian Renxue ascend because of a deal; this time he wanted to see Bibi Dong's resolve.
Might even ease the icy rift between mother and daughter—so better not to act.
He could break the array, just couldn't be bothered.
"Trust His Holiness; the chance she's meeting now far outstrips what Tang San got."
He spoke calmly, crossing a leg, leaning back while Primordial Chaos Aura puffed out as a cushion.
Qian Renxue was stunned—foes before them, yet he lounged at leisure.
Boom~
At that moment Bibi Dong clashed head-on again, calling forth her second Spirit Avatar—the Soul Eating Spider Emperor.
A cloud of dark-green mist drifted from her; thanks to a prior Spirit evolution, the once-hideous form had softened.
The spider's face now looked heroic, legs still edged with razor glints.
Seeing this, Great Wind God flapped His wings frantically, His own form enlarging to match hers.
He gathered an even fiercer storm, borrowing power possibly hidden aloft from other gods.
The wind seemed able to tear heaven and earth; torrential divine force surged within.
Bibi Dong, nearly staking her life, recklessly threw her entire being into that divine gale.
She endured—hardship far beyond every past obstacle combined.
But transformation is never easy.
Great Wind God grinned slyly—he already counted this as His coming first victory.
His showing had indeed surpassed the former Asura God, so of course he grew cocky.
Yet he clearly overlooked Chu Feng's capability—Bibi Dong was the second god he would crown; would she yield so easily?
So… Great Wind God gaped at Bibi Dong. No—impossible! She's only a mortal Spirit Master!
