Chapter 57
: How did it grow up so crooked?
Beyond the simulation, Fang Yuan slowly raised his eyes, a very faint yet extremely cold smile curving his lips.
Since everything that happens in the simulator can be known by people in reality, why can't he take advantage of this and set up a scheme to free himself from this secret room that imprisons him?
Fang Yuan was well aware that, given the current situation, there were very few people on the mainland who could directly confront Bibi Dong or even surpass her.
All told, there are only three people: Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Bo Saixi.
However, each of these three had their own constraints, and none of them could be easily moved.
Tang Chen has lived in the City of Slaughter for a long time and has long been parasitized and corrupted by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, becoming the King of Slaughter. He himself is deeply mired in delusion, so how could he possibly travel thousands of miles to save Fang Yuan, who has nothing to do with him?
Poseidon was the most devout follower of the sea god. Having passed the sea god's nine trials, she became the high priestess of the sea god's island. From that day forward, she was forbidden from ever leaving the island. Separated by vast oceans, she could not even come from the mainland, let alone rescue him from Bibi Dong.
The only one left is Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall.
However, Bibi Dong is the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and the two belong to the same camp, with intertwined interests and deep-rooted ties.
Moreover, they are connected by a bond that no one can ignore—Qian Renxue.
Bibi Dong is, after all, Qian Renxue's mother.
With this relationship in place, even if Qian Daoliu dislikes Bibi Dong, he would never easily attack her, much less risk a falling out with the Pope of the Spirit Hall for the sake of an outsider.
unless……
Unless something happens to Qian Renxue.
Only when it concerns his most cherished granddaughter will that peerless expert, who sits in the Hall of Worship, be truly moved.
Upon realizing this, Fang Yuan's indifference deepened, and his faint smile was finally tinged with a chilling calmness and resolve.
····························
Although he can't contact Qian Renxue now, he can still send messages through the simulated memories.
And in the simulation.
[Qian Renxue's performance surprised you somewhat; you didn't expect that she would fall for your trap before you even had a proper performance.]
"As you probably already guessed, this is another dream. Actually..."
You continued hesitantly, "Actually, in reality, I've already fallen into the hands of your mother, Bibi Dong!"
"What? That guy actually..." Qian Renxue forced the words back down her throat.
Qian Renxue's expression turned extremely pale for a moment, even somewhat disrupting her holy aura. After a long while, she managed to compose herself and said, "A-Yuan, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you."
As for what will happen after they are rescued, Qian Renxue didn't say.
"She is, after all, your mother. Since she doesn't want us to have any contact, let's just forget about it!" You feigned to dissuade her, but in reality, you were enraging Qian Renxue.
[In the second simulation, Bibi Dong killed him because she opposed Qian Renxue being with him.]
[Qian Renxue's purple eyes held the same obsession and madness as Bibi Dong's. "A Yuan, wait for me. I will definitely save you. No one can stop us from being together!"]
You have a feeling of being targeted by a venomous, sickly female ghost...
··························
[You successfully planted a hidden piece among Qian Renxue's people, and then went to the Sea God's Temple again.]
The sea god currently has no chosen successor and spends his days observing the happenings of the mortal realm to pass the time.
[When you entered the Temple of Poseidon, he didn't even glance at you; he was still intently observing the scenery of the lower realm.]
"Why aren't you in your Rakshasa temple? What are you doing here?" the sea god asked, yawning.
[He watches over the mortal realm every day and has personally witnessed your path to godhood. Naturally, he won't be fooled by your seemingly well-behaved appearance in the divine realm; you're clearly a cold-blooded monster in human skin!]
"Uncle Poseidon, don't you welcome me? You've watched me grow up, after all." It's a bit disgusting to hear you say that.
However, as a son of a god born in the divine realm, Fang Yuan grew up under the watchful eyes of all the gods in the realm, and Poseidon was indeed considered half an elder to him.
Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Poseidon also recalled that fair-skinned and chubby little baby from back then, feeling a pang of nostalgia. His tone softened, "You were so adorable when you were little!"
How did it grow so crooked?
"Speak, what is it?"
"I'd like to know information about the new Asura God, Tang San. You're so knowledgeable and experienced, you must know, right?"
[As you know, besides the God of Asura who actively allowed Tang San to reincarnate in Douluo Continent, the most likely person to know about Tang San's origins is Poseidon, the Sea God who was on good terms with the God of Asura and had paid attention to Tang San...]
·························
Poseidon's joking expression vanished, and he kicked you out.
He warned, "I don't know what your ulterior motives are, but Tang San is now the God of Asura. Whatever your schemes are, keep them to yourself, or the God of Law Enforcement's Asura Sword won't show any mercy."
[You still don't know where Tang San's original world is; your eyes are clouded.]
Looking at Poseidon, who had driven you out of the temple and was now completely unguarded with his back to you, you finally couldn't resist and made your move...
Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Asura, the god of war, are friends; you don't want to alert them.
Since the soft approach isn't working, you'll have to resort to the hard one.
[As you make your move, even the Rakshasa god who has been secretly following you can't help but intervene, worried that Poseidon might hurt you...]
[You've sealed off the Temple of Poseidon, making it a two-on-one fight; Poseidon is becoming increasingly frustrated.]
"Do you know what you're doing? You actually attacked me! And Rakshasa, are you brainless? You're helping him with something like this?" Poseidon finally lost his initial ease and roared in fury.
There may be infighting among these deities, but they generally won't attack the actual beings.
[Most of them are like the Rakshasa God, causing trouble, such as having the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King parasitize Tang Chen during his Asura God Trial...]
[A disgusting person who doesn't cause any pain or itch.]
Even if discovered, it won't be taken too seriously or pursued further.
However, in the realm of gods, attacking fellow deities is a completely different matter.
The Asura God will truly punish such internal strife.
Poseidon never expected that Rakshasa would join you in fighting him.
Soon, you and the god Rakshasa captured Poseidon, and you began interrogating him...
