When Hu Liena heard what they said, she immediately got furious. Oh my God, aren't they putting me on the fire? She said anxiously, "Teacher, this is all what they said. It has nothing to do with me. I never told them that I wanted to become Pope immediately!"
The ghost and Yue Guan behind her looked at each other and found it a little funny. This Saint Hu Liena was still a little too naive. She couldn't even see that these white cardinals and red cardinals were acting. If they were not the Pope's confidants, how could they deliberately say so in the conference hall? This must have been something that His Holiness the Pope had hinted at long ago. Today, when no one from the Elders' Hall was here, it was a good opportunity to push Saint Hu Liena to the throne of Pope in one fell swoop.
After seeing this clearly, Gui Mei stood up, cupped his hands respectfully, and said, "Ghost Mei greets His Holiness the Pope. Saint Hu Liena has met the criteria for inheriting the Pope's throne. According to the rules of the Spirit Hall, His Holiness the Pope abdicates and the next Pope's successor, Saint Hu Liena, takes the throne!"
Yue Guan also came out, cupped his hands respectfully, and said, "Your Holiness, please abdicate. Saint Hu Liena has met the criteria to inherit the Pope's throne. Please follow the rules of our Spirit Hall and abdicate immediately!"
Hu Liena was stunned. The two elders were going to sell her out. Was it because she got up in the wrong posture? Why did it feel like everyone in the conference hall was targeting her overnight? They wanted her to die. If the teacher got angry, he would slap her with one palm and everyone would be finished!
As expected, the bottom of the scepter in Bibi Dong's hand slammed hard on the ground, sending a huge wave of vibrations that knocked everyone present to the ground. Her face was filled with anger as she said, "What? Are you still trying to force me to abdicate? I will abdicate if I want to. I won't tolerate your coercion. Nana, tell me, do you want to inherit the throne now? Don't worry, the teacher won't do anything to you!"
Hu Liena struggled to her feet, shook her lips, and said, "Teacher, I really don't want to inherit the Pope's position right now, but we have a rule in the Spirit Hall. Once the successor's strength breaks through to level 80 and possesses the strength of a Soul Douluo, the previous Pope must abdicate and the next Pope will ascend the throne."
Bibi Dong shook her head, interrupted her, and said, "Then tell me, teacher, do you want to be the Pope?"
Hu Liena pondered for a moment, then made up her mind and said, "Teacher, I will be the Pope! I will be the Pope right now!"
Bibi Dong stared into Hu Liena's eyes and said, "Aren't you afraid that the elders of the Elder Hall and the chief priest, Qian Daoliu, will oppose you as the Pope when they return?"
Hu Liena's expression remained unchanged, not even blinking once. She said firmly, "Teacher, everything is done, and my ascension is in accordance with the rules of the Spirit Hall. They can't stop me, and they have no legitimate reason to question me."
Bibi Dong smiled and said, "Very good. I have a message for you: if you wear the crown, you must bear its weight! I hope you will live up to the papal crown on your head, or even the crown itself! I hereby declare that I am officially stepping down as the Pope of Spirit Hall. The new Pope will be Saint Hu Liena, the heir to the Pope. I hope that everyone present will do their best to assist the new Pope and let our new Pope lead our Spirit Hall to an even more glorious future!"
