After enduring a full day of various torturous ordeals, Yu Xiaogang finally managed to persuade Tang San.
The issue of the Twin Spirits cultivation method was a critical weakness and a ticking time bomb for him.
However, Xiao Sanzi didn't release him directly; instead, he demanded that Da Shi immediately request the secret method from Bibi Dong through the Star Picking Token.
Success would mean a chance at survival, but failure would result in immediate execution.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang had almost lost all semblance of humanity.
He was subjected to the most inhumane and dreaded punishments from Xiao Sanzi's memories: the peeling skin and crushing bones torture.
Moreover, it was the PLUS ultimate enhanced version after Tuan Zang had broadened his horizons.
Every bone in his body was shattered inch by inch, and his skin was peeled off piece by piece.
Muscles, facial features, and non-lethal internal organs were pierced and gradually destroyed by thin cones with barbs.
The extreme pain caused Gangzi to faint more than ten times.
Later on, even Tang San's secret medicine and Oscar's Big Recovery Sausage gradually became ineffective.
Throughout the entire process, Yu Xiaogang was forced to clearly confess even the times he wet the bed after gaining memories.
Including how he deceived Tang San, the steps he took, and the specifics of each step.
He revealed all the dark, hypocritical, and disgusting considerations behind every word, every action, and every expression.
He also confessed which of his theories were fabricated, which were plagiarized, and which were semi-fabricated and semi-plagiarized.
He admitted which ones were simply taking advantage of people's ignorance, and which ones were deliberately leading people astray out of fear of revealing the true secrets of major sects and powerful forces.
He explained where each point actually originated from, who it came from, and how he obtained it, even though he himself had never truly understood it.
Furthermore, he confessed who else he had deceived before Tang San, how he deceived them, and what he gained from it.
He provided complete details, even including things that weren't originally deceptions but simply things he didn't understand or couldn't do, but had the effect of deception.
In order to cater to the results Tang San wanted, he described everything as deception.
Except for the part about Bibi Dong, which was his bargaining chip for survival. Not only did he not reveal the truth, but he also embellished it greatly.
Upon learning all of this, Xiao Sanzi was almost consumed by anger, and his head and heart nearly exploded.
He had been played by such a completely useless piece of trash for over eight years.
A full eight years, do you know how he spent these eight years?
The hatred and anger, which were already terrifying, became as turbulent as the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers.
… …
The next day,
Virtual Space, Supreme Pontiff Palace scene.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang knelt respectfully in the center of the hall.
At this moment, their circumstances were vastly different from those of their counterparts in the original story, and that bit of ridiculous and pitiful arrogance had been tormented to almost nothing.
They obediently knelt and kowtowed, saying:
"Yu Xiaogang (Tang San) greets Your Supreme Pontiff Majesty."
At the head of the hall, Bibi Dong sat on the Supreme Pontiff throne.
She wore a set of luxurious black robes with gold cloud patterns, a nine-song Purple Gold Crown on her head, and held a scepter about two meters long inlaid with countless glittering gems.
After being blessed by the Rakshasa God, her already near-perfect appearance had completely transformed.
She seemed to carry an immortal aura, possessing a transcendent temperament that made her seem ethereal.
Occasionally, she inadvertently revealed a nobility and holiness that completely transcended mortals, causing people to involuntarily feel the urge to worship.
When Bibi Dong appeared, she gently stroked her abdomen with one hand, her eyes filled with an intense and unyielding tenderness and affection.
But for a moment, when she shifted her gaze to the two of them, she instantly became incomparably cold.
The invisible aura and pressure suddenly bloomed between the subtle changes in her expression, bringing immense psychological pressure out of thin air.
Her majestic voice fully revealed the power of an Empress who had been in charge for many years, decisive in killing, and unparalleled in combat power.
"What do you want from me?"
Yu Xiaogang straightened his body, but his knees remained on the ground. He put on a look of deep affection and said:
"Dong'er, are you alright?"
"Impudent! What do you think you are, daring to call me that?"
Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, and the terrifying pressure belonging to a quasi-god powerhouse instantly spread throughout the entire hall, directly pressing Tang San and Yu Xiaogang flat on the ground.
In an instant, their flesh, blood, and organs were torn apart, and their bones and tendons were broken.
Although Yu Xiaogang's external body had been tortured beyond recognition, this was a simulated consciousness body.
So, it was considered a free re-experience of the day's punishment.
Beside him, Tang San's eyes suddenly revealed a thick suspicion.
This situation, how does it seem a bit wrong?
When they came in, Gangzi taking the initiative to kneel and worship him was already very strange. Who would kneel and worship their girlfriend, even if it was an ex-girlfriend, even if the other party was the Supreme Pontiff.
At this moment, such a normal greeting actually provoked such anger from the other party.
Yu Xiaogang was equally surprised, but his external body was already in imminent danger. The Twin Spirits cultivation method was the only thing that could save his life.
He hurriedly endured the pain and said:
"Your Supreme Pontiff Majesty, I have come to see you with an important matter to ask for.
I want to know, how did you overcome the difficulty of Twin Spirits back then?
I have taken in a disciple, and he has been following me for seven or eight years, almost like father and son.
Fortunately, he possesses the same Twin Spirits as you, and I hope to cultivate him into a generation of powerhouse."
"Are you joking?
The Twin Spirits cultivation method is something that this Supreme Pontiff has painstakingly researched for over twenty years and personally verified at the risk of my own life.
It is the Supreme secret method of the Spirit Hall. What do you, a mere Spirit Grandmaster, think you are, daring to covet it?"
Listening to Bibi Dong's cold voice, Yu Xiaogang's heart suddenly sank deeply.
Although he had already guessed this scene, when it actually happened, he couldn't help but feel utterly disheartened, his heart full of bitterness.
Beside him, Tang San's brows also furrowed tightly.
He had already sensed something was wrong, and at this moment, he was even more suspicious. This was completely unlike the tone of voice of lovers speaking.
So, he hurriedly opened his mouth and asked:
"Your Supreme Pontiff Majesty, please help my disciple for the sake of my teacher's feelings for you back then?
I can swear that I will never be an enemy of the Spirit Hall."
"Feelings? What feelings? He is not even a member of the Spirit Hall, what feelings could he have with this Supreme Pontiff?"
"Isn't he your ex-boyfriend?"
"Hahahaha… …"
Bibi Dong laughed loudly, and then her expression, tone, and power suddenly took a sharp turn, changing from the warm spring breeze of March to as cold as ice and snow.
She roared in shock and anger:
"Yu Xiaogang, you are courting death."
