At this moment, Everyone in the Group Chat was also watching with great interest.
On the contrary,
Bibi Dong was unusually silent; while Everyone else was watching for fun, she, Bibi Dong, was looking into a mirror.
Just as the title Leon gave to the first chapter—"Seeing One's Former Self."
Bibi Dong felt despair; only now, as the Pope, did she realize how naive and foolish her former self had been.
[Bibi Dong: Sigh!]
[Qian Yuhan: I was thinking, we asked you to talk about yourself, not Yu Xiaogang?]
[Bo Saixi: This isn't about Yu Xiaogang; this is about Leon and Hu Liena. Didn't you see the title of the first chapter is "Seeing One's Former Self"?]
[Zhang Lexuan: Leon, you're so amazing. I really admire you now; even a story you wrote casually is so wonderful.]
[Jiang Nannan: For the following plot, if it's changed so that Bibi Dong, after seeing her former self, starts to regret it—opposing them on the surface while secretly finding Immortal Herbs and opportunities for Leon, helping him become a Genius Soul Master to be with Hu Liena—then the story would be truly perfect.]
[Bibi Dong: Nannan, you write it. If you do, I'll give you one Level 1 Soul Power. If that's not enough, I'll add more!]
[Liu Erlong: I'm dying of laughter; the crazy Pope really wants to redeem herself!]
[Bo Saixi: If it develops like that, the title should be changed to—Bibi Dong's Redemption.]
[Ning Rongrong: I still want to hear Number Nine's suggestion.]
[Number Nine: Over ten years later, Bibi Dong ascends to godhood, and Hu Liena becomes the Pope of the Spirit Hall. Leon takes a Disciple named Tang Ya.
For his Disciple's sake, he comes to the Spirit Hall, points at Hu Liena, and threatens: "Hu Liena, I have no children in this life. If anything happens to Little Ya, I will destroy the Spirit Hall at any cost!"]
[Dark Avenger:???]
[Call Me Her Majesty: Oh my god, doesn't this make him Leon Xiaogang?]
[Ah Yin: Hahaha!!]
[Zhu Zhuqing: As expected of you, Number Nine. Are you determined to make us die of laughter to be happy?]
[Shui Yue'er: Number Nine is the shrewdest; he holds back his own laughter while making us all laugh so hard we're gasping for air.]
[Ning Rongrong: I'm really going to die laughing. Number Nine definitely has the wildest imagination.]
[Dugu Yan: Wait a minute, Everyone. Wasn't our story outline about Leon being trapped in the Secret Chamber, and Hu Liena calling Qian Renxue back to deal with Leon together?]
[Cute Snow Woman 1: What we want to see is the drama!]
[ Little Snow Woman 2: We don't like watching redemption; we like watching the drama.]
...
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well wasn't far. Before Leon could tell much of his story, the group had already arrived.
Whoosh~
With a wave of Leon's hand, an invisible wind blew away the surrounding poisonous gas, and he led Everyone flying straight inside.
"Wow!"
"Is this the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
"It's so beautiful here!"
"Wait, why do I seem to sense the presence of several Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts?"
"There are Soul Beasts in here?"
The current Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was even lusher than it was during the Douluo World 1 period, with more Immortal Herbs growing more vigorously.
During the Douluo World 1 period, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well belonged to Dugu Bo. Before him, others must have discovered it and explored or harvested from it.
In the Douluo World 2 period, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was completely occupied by Tang San. It could be said to be entirely under his control, with no one able to enter for ten thousand years.
Therefore, besides the emergence of several Immortal Herbs over a hundred thousand years old, the ages of the other Immortal Herbs were also very high, and they grew exceptionally well.
"Who goes there!"
"How dare you trespass into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! Leave quickly! If that person finds out, you will all die!"
[Number Nine: Huh? The Immortal Herb spoke?]
[Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: Immortal Herbs can talk?]
[Dugu Yan: I dunno!]
[Call Me Her Majesty: Idiots, they've cultivated for a long time and, like Ah Yin, have gained sentience and wisdom.]
[Zhu Zhuqing: Wait, I seem to remember Leon saying something before, but I can't recall it for the moment.]
[Bibi Dong: The environment inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well can help Ah Yin or these Immortal Herbs increase their cultivation speed and age, right?]
[Gu Yuena 1: I understand.]
[Gu Yuena 2: I understand too.]
[ Little Snow Woman 2: My Lord, there seem to be two powerful remnant souls below. They carry the aura of the Dragon Clan.]
[Bo Saixi:???]
[Dugu Yan: I remember now! Leon seemed to have told us before that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was formed from the remains of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.]
While Everyone in the group was talking, the Big Silly Cat jumped out of Ning Rongrong's arms and let out a long roar toward the sky.
"Awoo~"
"All of you, kneel before this Empress!"
In the next moment,
almost all the Immortal Herbs on the field, whether sentient or not, bowed down in submission to the Big Silly Cat.
As the only "Emperor Auspicious Beast" on the Douluo Continent, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion carried the "Luck" and "Power of Fate" of the entire Soul Beast Clan.
No matter how strong their power or how noble their Bloodline, any Soul Beast must worship submissively before the Emperor Auspicious Beast, not daring to harbor any thoughts of resistance.
This suppression was universal across all Soul Beasts without exception, and plant-type Soul Beasts were naturally no different.
Ning Rongrong was also dazed.
"Little Golden Lion, are you really this amazing?"
"Hehehe!"
The Big Silly Cat said with a look of pride, "Of course! Just look at what my name in the Group Chat is."
"Her Excellency the Empress!"
Xiao Wu spoke up.
The Big Silly Cat nodded with satisfaction.
"Who on earth are you people?"
"This is that person's place. You..."
While the Big Silly Cat was showing off, a voice stole her thunder. The one speaking was the leader of the few sentient Immortal Herbs—the Beautiful Silk Tulip.
"How bold!"
The Big Silly Cat was instantly enraged, and the pressure of the Emperor Auspicious Beast immediately bore down on the Beautiful Silk Tulip.
"Ignorant little weed, do you not recognize this Empress?"
"I..."
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was isolated from the world.
These Immortal Herbs naturally didn't know about the Emperor Auspicious Beast, but they could feel the pressure it exerted.
"That Lord is... the one who became a god ten thousand years ago..."
"Dammit!"
"How dare you make me lose face in front of my group members! I'm going to beat you to death."
The Big Silly Cat was truly angry.
Just as she was about to rush over and eat it in one bite, she was suddenly picked up by Leon.
"This place is isolated from the world. They aren't actually hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beasts. It's because the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well provides over ten times the growth speed for plant types. Although they can feel your pressure, it's normal that they don't recognize you."
"Hmph!"
The Big Silly Cat puffed out her cheeks. Although she looked cute and acted silly in the group, she was still the Emperor Auspicious Beast!
In the Star Dou Great Forest, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a Demon King; if she didn't like the look of a Soul Beast, she'd go and give them a couple of slaps.
Leon looked at Gu Yuena and the others. "The skeletons of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King are indeed buried beneath here, and their remnant souls still remain. I'll take you down to see them in a bit."
Although legends in the Divine Realm say the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were slain by the maddened Dragon God, if they were slain by him, how could they have fallen on the Douluo Continent?
It's highly probable that the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings once fought to the death to cover Gu Yuena's escape, which would explain why they all ended up falling on the Douluo Continent.
