Douluo: I Can Summon Goddesses Across the Multiverse

"Enough, let's set this aside for now. I'll take you to the Shrine of Worship!"

Knowing she was now under Yao Xuan's control, Bibi Dong didn't dwell further on the matter of formalities. Instead, she led Yao Xuan and Keisha out of the Pope's Palace toward the adjacent Worship Hall.

"Your Holiness, are you here to meet any of the honored elders? And this child by your side, who might he be?"

At the entrance to the shrine, a knight guarding the area bowed respectfully to Bibi Dong before routinely inquiring.

"Yes, this is my third direct disciple, Yao Xuan. I'm bringing him to meet the elders."

Hearing the knight's question, Bibi Dong responded calmly. As for Kesha, she had concealed her presence and did not appear before the knight.

In truth, after subjugating Bibi Dong, Yao Xuan had effectively become the master of Spirit Hall. However, he chose to remain behind the scenes for now, entrusting Bibi Dong with the day-to-day management.

At the same time, despite his power over her through the Soul Imprint, it was impossible for Yao Xuan to control every individual in Spirit Hall. Thus, he required a public identity within the organization.

Being Bibi Dong's third personal disciple served as Yao Xuan's public persona within Spirit Hall for the foreseeable future.

"Understood, Your Holiness. I'll inform the elders immediately!"

Hearing Bibi Dong's explanation, the knight nodded and hurried into the shrine.

Before long, the knight returned and respectfully invited Yao Xuan and Bibi Dong inside.

As they entered, the Shrine of Worship presented itself in its full, austere splendor. The vast hall lacked excessive ornamentation, exuding a sense of solemnity and sanctity.

However, a closer inspection of the stone walls revealed faint golden glimmers flowing across the rough surfaces, as though a mysterious energy coursed through them.

The source of this energy was the central statue:

A towering, ten-meter-tall figure crafted entirely of radiant gold. It held a massive golden sword aloft, its three pairs of wings outstretched as if piercing the heavens.

Though merely a statue, the golden flames encircling the sword blazed faintly yet resolutely.

The statue's eyes, too, glimmered with golden fire, emanating an immense pressure as if imbued with a soul.

This was none other than the Angel God Statue, Spirit Hall's sacred relic and the key to the Angel God Trial—a divine treasure guarded by the Angel Clan for generations.

Beneath the statue stood an elderly man with gray hair and beard, draped in a simple gray robe. His eyes also gleamed faintly with golden light, exuding an overwhelming aura of authority and strength.

This man was none other than Qian Daoliu, the Grand Worship of Spirit Hall, master of the Shrine of Worship, and patriarch of the Angel Clan—one of the three contemporary Pinnacle Douluo at level 99.

Flanking him on either side were six other gray-robed elders, each radiating an oppressive aura far surpassing that of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

These six were the remaining elders of the Shrine of Worship, with the strongest being Golden Crocodile Douluo at level 98. The others were all mighty Super Douluo at level 96.

"Bibi Dong, what business do you have to report to me?"

Qian Daoliu's gaze fell upon Bibi Dong, devoid of any respect. Instead, his tone carried an air of impatience.

"Qian Daoliu, I'm not here to report anything. I'm here to inform you of a new reality—"

"From this day forward, the Shrine of Worship will no longer enjoy any special privileges. You are also forbidden from interfering in Spirit Hall's affairs!"

Facing Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong spoke with a calm yet excited tone, a glimmer of triumph in her voice.

In the past, constrained by Qian Daoliu's overwhelming power, she had been forced to endure the Shrine of Worship's unchecked influence within Spirit Hall.

But things were different now!

With Yao Xuan supporting her, she no longer intended to tolerate it!

"Hahaha! Bibi Dong, have you lost your mind? Or perhaps you've grown bold enough to utter such treasonous words in front of me?"

"In the past, I allowed you to lead Spirit Hall out of consideration for Xue'er. Yet today, a mere Pope dares to challenge her master?"

"Very well. If you insist on tearing apart this facade, then as of this moment, you are no longer the Pope of Spirit Hall. Reflect on your arrogance in the shrine's dungeon!"

Qian Daoliu sneered coldly as his soul power erupted in a suffocating wave.

"Angel Descent!"

With a low roar, an overwhelming aura burst forth from Qian Daoliu.

Behind him, nine soul rings—black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red—materialized, radiating dazzling light.

Simultaneously, the illusory figure of a six-winged angel emerged, exuding divine majesty and resonating with Qian Daoliu's power.

In the next moment, the six-winged angel fused with Qian Daoliu, transforming his appearance.

His previously aged face became youthful, his gray hair turned golden, and golden flames ignited within his eyes.

Golden flames coalesced into a majestic suit of armor, enveloping Qian Daoliu.

Three pairs of golden wings unfurled behind him, and a golden Angelic Holy Sword appeared in his right hand.

At that moment, Qian Daoliu resembled the Angel God Statue in both form and power, their energies resonating and amplifying his strength.

"Foolish Bibi Dong! Do you regret your words now? Alas, even if you do, it's too late!"

"I once thought you were still useful to Spirit Hall, which is why I allowed you to remain Pope. But your treachery is unforgivable!"

"Of course, if you surrender now, for Xue'er's sake, I won't take your life. However..."

"If you dare resist, I won't guarantee you'll survive a single strike from my blade!"

Qian Daoliu's voice reverberated through the shrine, imbued with an aura of supremacy.
