Everyone in the conference hall stood up, bowed their heads, placed their right hands on their left chests, and respectfully shouted, "Your subordinates greet the new Pope!"
Hu Liena turned around and looked at the people who were congratulating her. She felt like it was a dream. She had suddenly become the new Pope. This was really unexpected. If she had not broken through to level 80, this scene would not appear for a long time. By that time, it would be at least a month later.
Bibi Dong took off the papal crown and held it in her left hand. At the same time, she took out the papal seal from her space ring. This was needed to appoint the masters of the holy temple and branch temples, and it was used to stamp the appointment documents. She looked down at these three items that had accompanied her for more than fourteen years, sighed, looked up at Hu Liena, and said, "This is the papal crown, this is the scepter, and this is the papal seal. Hu Liena, the new pope, please come forward to receive the holy relics. I will crown you. Without these three holy relics, others will not recognize you as the pope. The papal seal is especially important. It is of paramount importance."
Hu Liena saw the teacher was about to hand over the crown and other things to her. She said in disbelief, "Teacher, are you just going to hand it over like this? Aren't you going to hold a ceremony to let everyone in the continent know about this?"
Bibi Dong shook her head and said, "Special matters require special treatment! Sooner or later, they will know that you have inherited the throne of Pope. This is an ironclad fact, and no one has the right to question your legitimacy. Come here, I will put the papal crown on you."
When Hu Liena heard what the teacher said, she strode forward, came in front of Bibi Dong, lowered her head, and waited for the pope to crown her.
Bibi Dong placed the scepter and seal on the armrest of the Pope's seat, freeing up space. She lifted the crown with both hands and placed it accurately on Hu Liena's head, saying, "Okay, I've put the crown on you. Here are the seal and scepter. Take them. From now on, you are the new Pope!"
Hu Liena took the Pope's seal in her left hand and the scepter in her right. Turning around, she raised the seal high and said loudly, "From today on, I will officially succeed the Pope. All of you need to assist me wholeheartedly in managing the entire Spirit Hall. I hope that under my leadership, the Spirit Hall will achieve even greater success in the future!"
"I have met the new Pope."
All the white cardinals, red cardinals, and two elders in the conference hall bowed and spoke respectfully.
Hu Liena's childish face now had a hint of dignity. She nodded lightly and said, "Everyone, you are welcome. From now on, I will need you to work together with me to develop and strengthen the Spirit Hall and make it great again!"
"Yes, Your Holiness, please rest assured that we will devote ourselves to this mission until our death."
Seeing that everyone supported Hu Liena as the new Pope, Bibi Dong was very happy. She had been planning for a long time and could finally unload this heavy burden. From now on, she could spend more time with her husband and have more time to practice.
She smiled and said, "Well, Nana, now that you are the new Pope, it is time for me to retire and step back behind the scenes. I should seize the time to practice and strive to raise my strength to a higher level before the crisis comes."
Hu Liena turned around. This was the first time she saw her teacher without the papal crown. She was no longer as noble and elegant as before. Without the papal crown, Bibi Dong, holding the scepter, looked more fragile than before. The teacher was so eager to pass the position of Pope to her, surely because he saw that the people from the Elder Hall were not in Wuhun City, which confirmed the matter. Even if they came back, they could not change this fact.
As for the crisis that the teacher mentioned, she didn't believe it. With the teacher's strength, the only person in the whole continent who could threaten her was the Palace Master of Yanhuang Palace. However, one of the women who was the Palace Master of Yanhuang Palace was Senior Sister Qian Renxue, who was the teacher's biological daughter. She should not attack the teacher. The teacher said this just to find an excuse to retire.
Poor Hu Liena, due to the lack of intelligence, her understanding of various things on the mainland is still too superficial. She doesn't know that the seriousness of the matter is far beyond her imagination. Behind all kinds of abnormal events, there are actually deep masterminds hidden behind the scenes. Only when she is truly familiar with the position of the Pope of the Spirit Hall, all the secrets will be revealed to her.
Hu Liena's eyes were slightly red as she said, "Teacher, can't you stay and continue to tutor me? My strength is low right now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to gain the respect of others in the Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong smiled and said, "Nana, although the teacher has stepped down as the Pope, the people he has trained over the years will be handed over to you. With their support, you don't have to worry about being alone in the Spirit Hall. Besides, although I have retreated behind the scenes, I still hold the status of an elder. With my support, no one dares to oppose you."
Seeing that her teacher was determined to leave, Hu Liena handed over all the people she had trained over the years to her. This showed that her teacher really wanted to completely cut ties with the position of Pope, and it also made her attitude clear to her: the Spirit Hall will be yours in the future, and whether you can convince everyone depends on your real ability. If you feel that your strength is low, then work hard to practice. I will only stand on your side on major issues. At other times, I will not show up and will not interfere in the affairs of the Spirit Hall.
Understanding this made her very happy, but she couldn't express her joy, lest she be accused of being cold-hearted. However, politics is dirty, and every new emperor dislikes the traces left by the old emperor. However, when they first ascended the throne, because their foundation was unstable, they still had to rely on the power left by the old emperor to ensure the stability of the whole. Before they could cultivate their own confidants, they had to use the power of the previous dynasty.
