In just a moment, the nine-colored glow slowly faded away, eventually disappearing completely into the altar.

The ancient stone altar had returned to its previous gray and unadorned appearance.

The extraordinary phenomenon that just occurred was nothing more than a dream.

Ning Rongrong slowly opened her eyes, her long eyelashes still adorned with specks of golden light.

She descended step by step from the highest level of the altar.

Then, she looked down at her palm, which seemed no different from before.

But she just felt that everything was different.

"Senior brother."

"I...I feel like there's something inside my body."

There was a hint of bewilderment in her words.

At this moment, a faint golden halo seemed to surround the body of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

"What exactly is this?"

Ning Rongrong looked up, full of curiosity.

Ning Liu walked up to her.

"Rongrong, this is the power of faith."

"It is the cornerstone for Soul Masters to become gods."

Becoming a god?

Ning Rongrong was still somewhat skeptical, even though this was the second time Ning Liu had brought up this topic with her.

Ning Liu nodded and explained.

"That altar just now infused you with a trace of the Nine-Colored Goddess's faith power."

“This power of faith is like a ‘catalyst’.”

Ning Rongrong was somewhat depressed, still unable to process this astonishing fact.

Ning Liu then continued.

"Rongrong, you should not participate in the upcoming All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament for the time being."

Ning Rongrong was taken aback.

"Why?"

"Your senior brother will take you somewhere."

Ning Liu said.

"This journey may be the trial ground for your ascension to godhood."

"The ruins of the Nine-Colored Goddess".

"Knock knock knock".

A rapid knocking sounded at that moment, interrupting their conversation.

Li An's respectful voice came from outside the door.

"metropolitan."

"Pope of the Spirit Hall, Her Majesty Bibi Dong requests an audience."

Bibi Dong?

Ning Liu's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Just in time.

He turned his head and glanced at Ning Rongrong beside him.

Although the faint aura of faith was weak, Bibi Dong, who also possessed divine inheritance, should have been able to discern it.

A thought flashed through Ning Liu's mind, and he gently waved his hand at the altar of faith in the center of the room.

The ancient altar transformed into a streak of light and vanished instantly, being stored in his system inventory.

"Let her in."

"See you here."

Li An accepted the order and withdrew.

Soon, footsteps approached from afar, and the door to the room was pushed open.

Bibi Dong, dressed in a magnificent papal robe, entered accompanied by Chrysanthemum Douluo.

However, when she entered the room and saw the two people inside, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Her gaze, however, bypassed Ning Liu and was fixed intently on Ning Rongrong.

That twelve-year-old girl, despite having a soul power level of only fifty, sensed something...

An aura that transcends the mundane world!

On Bibi Dong's smooth brow, a purplish-black Rakshasa Demon Scythe mark appeared uncontrollably, shimmering with an eerie light.

The breath of God!

Although faint and immature, it was definitely the aura of God!

A tremendous storm raged within Bibi Dong's heart.

How is that possible?

How did this little girl come to be tainted by the aura of a god?

Could it be Ning Liu...?

She abruptly turned her gaze back to Ning Liu.

Ning Liu had no intention of explaining; he simply made a gesture of invitation.

"Your Holiness, may I ask what brings you here?"

Bibi Dong suppressed her shock and slowly took a few steps, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Ning Liu and Ning Rongrong.

"Sect Leader Ning, from this day forward, the Spirit Hall will fully cooperate with all of Liuli Tian's actions!"

Her voice was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

Ning Liu smiled.

The Spirit Hall must submit to the Glazed Heaven?

He gestured for Ning Rongrong to sit down, then slowly walked over to Bibi Dong.

"Full cooperation?"

"Does Your Holiness mean that even your 'plan,' which you've been plotting for twenty years to hunt down all disobedient Soul Masters and sects and ultimately unify the continent, is willing to serve my Glazed Heaven?"

"you……"

Bibi Dong was immediately surprised and suspicious.

How could he have known?!

Ning Liu continued.

"Has anything changed since then?"

"That is to support the royal families of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo kingdoms, incite internal strife among them, secretly weaken the seven major sects, and wait for the right time to overthrow the two empires with lightning speed and bring the entire continent under the control of the Spirit Hall."

"Your Holiness, am I right?"

a long time.

Bibi Dong let out a bitter laugh.

"Sect Leader Ning, you are truly all-powerful; nothing can be hidden from you."

She readily admitted it.

“That’s right, that was my plan. Even though you made me a promise last time because of Xiao Wu, I didn’t immediately let it go.”

"But now, I've given up."

Bibi Dong raised her head.

"You know it, becoming a god!"

Even if it means following in your footsteps, I will become a god as soon as possible!

She pointed at Ning Rongrong.

"Sect Leader Ning, if you can create miracles for her, you can definitely create them for me too!"

"I am stronger than her. My talent and my accumulated experience far surpass hers!"

"Even I have begun the divine test!"

"Choosing to help me with all your might will be the best decision you've ever made!"

Ning Liu nodded upon hearing this.

"good."

Ning Liu changed the subject.

"Now, I have an ancient ruin here, and I'm about to go explore it."

"Are you willing to go?"
