Chapter 4: In order to self-destruct, I started teaching the language of soul beasts!
The atmosphere inside the Pope's bedroom became somewhat tense for a moment.
Ouyang lowered his head, watching the golden simulated soul ring slowly dissipate beneath his feet.
Looking at Bibi Dong's expectant and enthusiastic face, he felt that the whole world was full of malice.
Holy Son?
Are you kidding me?! I'm a soul beast!
If a soul beast becomes the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, wouldn't Da Ming and Er Ming laugh their heads off?
Wouldn't Xiao Wu just poke me to death with a carrot?
No! Absolutely not!
Whoever wants to be the Holy Son can be one, I'm not going to be one!
My only goal today is to complete the mission, then get killed by you guys and get the reward!
"I won't do it!"
Ouyang raised his head and righteously refused Bibi Dong.
"I am a spirit beast, and I am irreconcilably opposed to you humans! How can I possibly become the Holy Son of your Spirit Hall?!"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was not angry at all; instead, she showed an expression of "I knew it."
She felt that this was the test that the descendants of the gods should face.
If the other party agrees immediately, she will start to doubt their motives.
"I know it's hard for you to accept us right away."
Bibi Dong's tone became increasingly gentle.
"But as you can see, the Spirit Hall possesses the strongest power and the richest resources on the entire continent. Only here can your talents be fully utilized, and only here can your safety be perfectly guaranteed."
"You wouldn't want outsiders to know that you possess a god-level martial soul and a million-year soul ring, would you?"
"You should know better than I what kind of covetousness and trouble it will attract if it gets leaked."
Bibi Dong began to patiently guide her.
Ouyang's eyelids twitched as he listened.
"Big sister, you've got it wrong. I'd love for everyone to know! I'm here to expose myself!"
He was screaming wildly in his heart.
But he knew that even if he said it, the other party would never believe him.
These people's imaginations have reached unprecedented levels.
We need to change our approach.
Ouyang's eyes lit up, and a plan came to mind.
"Alright, if you want me to be the Holy Son, that's not impossible."
He suddenly changed his mind.
Bibi Dong's eyes lit up: "What are your conditions?"
"My conditions are very simple!"
Ouyang puffed out his little chest and said with a serious expression.
"You want to learn my 'divine language,' right?"
"That's right!"
Bibi Dong nodded without hesitation; this was what she cared about most.
"I can teach you!"
Ouyang said.
"However, my 'divine language' is profound and not everyone can learn it. Before I teach you, I must first test you to see if you have the talent!"
"test?"
Bibi Dong looked at him with great interest. "What kind of test?"
"It's very simple!"
Ouyang cleared his throat and pointed to himself.
Using the newly learned "Beast God's Roar" vocal technique, he let out a short and powerful roar.
"Aww!" (Translation: Me!)
Then, he pointed to Bibi Dong.
"Ugh!" (Translation: You!)
Finally, he pointed to the pillars of the main hall.
"Gah!" (Translation: It!)
After doing all this, Ouyang looked at Bibi Dong with anticipation:
"Did you understand? This is the basic pronunciation and referential relationship of our 'divine language.' Now, imitate me and repeat it. As long as you can pronounce these three sounds correctly, you'll pass the test!"
He was making his own calculations.
Soul Beast Language can only be uttered based on the unique physical structure and soul fluctuations of Soul Beasts, and it is impossible for humans to imitate it!
Especially when combined with the "Beast God's Roar" technique, it becomes even more difficult.
As soon as Bibi Dong opens her mouth, she's bound to make a fool of herself, and might even suffer a stroke from her soul power due to her forced imitation.
When the time came, she discovered that she simply didn't have the talent to learn "divine language".
In a fit of anger, he might feel like he's been played, and then he might slap me to death!
perfect!
I'm such a genius!
Ouyang mentally gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.
However, he didn't notice at all that when he uttered those three syllables, Bibi Dong's expression had changed from initial anticipation to extreme shock!
Because, along with those three simple syllables, she clearly sensed three completely different fluctuations of law!
"Awooo!" — This represents the fundamental law of "self"!
"Ooh!" — This represents the cognitive law of "the other"!
"Gaa!" — This represents the material laws governing "all things"!
God!
This is hardly basic pronunciation.
This is clearly explaining the three most fundamental philosophical concepts that constitute the world!
"I", "you", "it"!
This child has demonstrated such profound truths in such a simple way!
This is no longer some kind of "divine language," it is the "Tao" itself!
Bibi Dong's breathing suddenly became rapid, and her full chest heaved violently.
Looking into Ouyang's clear eyes, which were full of "expectation," she felt an unprecedented surge of emotion and enlightenment.
She got it!
This child wasn't testing her; he was... enlightening her!
He was telling himself in the simplest and most direct way.
To learn the "language of God," one must first understand the origin of the world!
What profound intentions! What a pure and kind heart!
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her inner excitement, and solemnly bowed slightly to Ouyang.
"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Your Highness."
Ouyang: "???"
The smile on his face froze.
Do you... understand?
What do you mean you understand?
I asked you to imitate a pig's noise—no, I mean, animal language—and you bowed to me. What's the meaning of that?
You'd better learn! You'd better say something!
"Your Highness, please accept my bow."
Bibi Dong adopted an extremely humble posture, and her tone was full of piety.
She believes that Ouyang's actions were a test of her "comprehension" rather than her "ability to imitate".
If she were to act like a fool and imitate those three strange syllables, that would be a disservice to His Highness the Holy Son's painstaking efforts.
Ouyang was utterly devastated when he saw Bibi Dong bowing to him.
"No... Sister, please don't bow! I can't bear it!"
"Get up! You learn first! Aww! Woo! Gah! It's very simple!"
He was so anxious he was almost crying, pointing to his mouth and desperately trying to signal.
However, the more he acted this way, the more Bibi Dong felt that this "Holy Son" was using a special way to remind her not to be attached to appearances, but to see the essence of things.
"Your Highness, you needn't do this."
Bibi Dong straightened up, her face showing a mixture of shame and understanding.
"I was too attached to appearances before, always thinking that I could directly learn the 'form' of the 'divine language' from you, but I neglected to comprehend its 'spirit'."
"Rest assured, from today onwards, I will calmly comprehend the three fundamental principles of 'I, You, and It' that you just revealed. Once I have gained some understanding, I will come back to seek your guidance."
After she finished speaking, her eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration as she looked at Ouyang.
Ouyang: "..."
He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
He felt as if his brain had been stomped on by a Titan ape and turned into a lump of mush.
It’s over.
This is completely over.
Did I somehow portray myself as a "charlatan"?
Enlightenment? The fundamental laws?
I just wanted you to learn a few swear words from spirit beasts, how did you figure them out on your own!
[Ding! The host attempted to teach Bibi Dong the language of spirit beasts, but she misunderstood it as imparting the laws of the Great Dao, further solidifying her mysterious image as an "ancient divine descendant"!]
[Reckless Behavior Rating: Grade A!]
[Reward received: Mental Strength increased by 1000 points!]
Hearing the system notification in his mind, Ouyang felt like crying.
Another reward?
They also reward mental strength?
I don't want it!
I just want you to figure me out quickly, and then kill me!
"Um... Your Holiness the Pope..."
Ouyang's voice was trembling with tears.
"How about we try again? Actually, that pronunciation is really important..."
"No need, Your Highness."
Bibi Dong interrupted him with a solemn expression.
"I understand what you mean. I was too impatient."
She paused, then her tone softened considerably.
"You must be tired from your journey. I have already had a palace prepared for you, right next to my bedchamber. From today onwards, that will be your home in the Spirit Hall."
"All your expenses will be at the highest standard. Please feel free to tell me if you have any needs."
After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands.
The side door of the main hall opened, and two rows of maids walked in respectfully, bowing to Ouyang Qiqi.
"Welcome, Your Highness!"
Seeing this scene, Ouyang's legs went weak and he almost lost his balance.
Family?
I, a soul beast, have settled down in the Spirit Hall?
What kind of nonsense is this?!
"No... I don't want to live here! I want to go back to the Star Dou Great Forest! That's my home!"
Ouyang made a final struggle.
"Your Highness, you must be joking again."
Bibi Dongguan smiled, assuming that he was just expressing something in that "awkward" way again.
In her view, this divine descendant was just a proud and arrogant child who liked to say one thing but mean another.
He said he wanted to go back to the Star Dou Great Forest, but he was probably secretly overjoyed.
After all, which child could refuse to become the holy son of the most powerful force on the continent?
"Alright, take His Highness to rest."
Bibi Dong waved her hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The maids stepped forward, wanting to help Ouyang up.
Ouyang refused to comply and struggled fiercely:
"Let me go! I don't live here! You humans, let me go!"
His struggle, amplified by his innate level 40 soul power, was incredibly powerful.
But Bibi Dong simply raised her hand, and a gentle yet irresistible soul force enveloped Ouyang, rendering him instantly immobile.
"Your Highness, stop fooling around and get some rest."
Bibi Dong's voice carried an undeniable air of authority.
Ouyang's heart sank to the bottom.
He was half-carried, half-supported by the maids and led away from the main hall, leaving Bibi Dong alone in the center of the empty hall, her face showing unprecedented excitement and fervor.
"Ancient divine descendants... Divine language inheritance... The secret to becoming a god..."
She muttered to herself, her eyes gleaming with a light called "ambition".
"Qian Xunji, Yu Xiaogang... all of you who looked down on me and hurt me, just you wait!"
"Once I master the method to become a god, the entire Douluo Continent will grovel at my feet!"
She seemed to have already seen the Spirit Hall, under her leadership, heading towards an unprecedentedly glorious future!
And all of this stems from today, from that "miracle" that came knocking on our door.
