Chapter 43: The Battle of Jialing Pass, Ning Rongrong: Am I Actually an Ingrate?

[Since we've already mentioned Bibi Dong's Rakshasa God, Qian Renxue's Angel God, and Tang San's Sea God and Asura God, we can't skip over the final battle at Jialing Pass!]

At this point, the curiosity of all the women was piqued again. What was the Battle of Jialing Pass? And how did Tang San end up with the Asura God's position as well?

Bibi Dong was particularly puzzled. Isn't it generally the case that one can only inherit a single godly position?

How did Su Ming say that Tang San possessed both the Sea God and Asura God? Did he achieve this through some special means?

[The Battle of Jialing Pass took place after the Spirit Hall established the Spirit Empire and waged a full-scale war against the Heaven Dou Empire. If the Spirit Empire had won this battle, the fall of the Heaven Dou Empire would have been inevitable.]

[Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Even though the Spirit Empire had two gods on its side, Rakshasa God Bibi Dong and Angel God Qian Renxue, they still lost to Tang San and his protagonist team!]

Upon reading this, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's faces grew heavy. They hadn't expected that even together, they couldn't defeat Tang San in the end.

Meanwhile, the others wondered about the fate of their sects during the full-scale war between the Spirit Empire and Heaven Dou Empire.

[In truth, Tang San should have lost, and even died, but an unexpected twist occurred due to Ning Rongrong and Oscar.]

Now everyone's hearts were racing. They knew Su Ming was about to reveal something explosive!

Especially Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and the others involved.

[Tang San had died, but his body was retrieved by his team. In the end, he was resurrected by Ning Rongrong and Oscar's Martial Soul Fusion Technique—Resurrection Radiance!]

The women were all shocked. Ning Rongrong and Oscar's fusion technique could actually bring someone back to life? That was incredible!

What they didn't know was that the real powerhouse here was Oscar. If not for his recognition by the God of Food, Ning Rongrong wouldn't have been acknowledged by the Nine-Colored Goddess. After all, Ning Rongrong's Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda didn't align perfectly with the Nine-Colored Goddess; the ideal heir should have been someone with the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul.

But it couldn't be helped, since the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess were husband and wife, and thus Ning Rongrong gained the Nine-Colored Goddess's inheritance.

[Now we have to talk about Ning Rongrong. She watched as her beloved Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa sacrificed themselves to save Tang San, their bodies shattered. Her father Ning Fengzhi's hair turned white overnight, yet Ning Rongrong still chose to resurrect Tang San, while her Sword and Bone Grandpas could not be revived!]

At this point, Ning Rongrong's face turned pale, her lips trembling as she muttered, "Impossible, that's impossible. How could I have made such a choice?"

Tears welled up in Ning Rongrong's eyes. She felt deep sorrow. Her Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa had loved her like a granddaughter, yet they hadn't even left behind complete remains.

She swore that if given another chance, she wouldn't make the same choice again. After all, she had always been a bit willful—what harm was there in being willful one more time?

Through this revelation, she also realized that her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had sided with Tang San against the Spirit Hall. If they hadn't, would the outcome have been different? Could her Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa have survived?

[Many people from the previous life criticized Ning Rongrong and Oscar for being ungrateful ingrates, choosing to revive Tang San instead of the Sword and Bone Douluo—people who had cherished Ning Rongrong deeply.]

Ning Rongrong felt sick to her stomach. Was she really an ingrate? Her heart couldn't accept this. Why had she made such a decision back then?

[Here's my take: those people were just senseless haters!]

[Do you think Ning Rongrong didn't want to revive her Sword and Bone Grandpas? Do you think she didn't feel heartbroken?]

[The Resurrection Radiance has severe limitations. First, the person being revived needs to have an intact body. With the Sword and Bone Douluo's shattered remains, they didn't meet that condition!]

[Second, the Resurrection Radiance can only be used once a month, and the person to be revived must have died within the past hour.]

[The conditions for using Resurrection Radiance are incredibly strict, but many netizens in the past just mindlessly hated on her, calling her an ingrate for choosing to revive the "hypocrite" Tang San instead of her two grandfathers!]

[I don't agree with that at all. Ning Rongrong was undoubtedly in deep pain at the time, but she had no choice but to revive Tang San!]

[Even if the Sword and Bone Douluo had met the conditions, Ning Rongrong still would have had to choose Tang San, because the Heaven Dou Empire could afford to lose the Sword and Bone Douluo, but they absolutely couldn't afford to lose Tang San!]

[With Tang San, they still had a fighting chance against the Spirit Empire, which had two gods.]

[Even if Ning Rongrong had revived her two grandfathers, they would all have eventually died in the war anyway. What would have been the point of that?]

[Besides, as far as I recall, the Resurrection Radiance can only bring back one person at a time, so how could she have revived both of them?]

After reading Su Ming's diary entry, the women understood the situation. In the end, Ning Rongrong had been truly unlucky—many people had labeled her as an ingrate, but in that situation, she simply had no other choice!

Even if she had been able to revive her grandfathers, they would have just died again after failing to defeat the Spirit Empire. What was the point?

They could see things clearly as outsiders, but Ning Rongrong, who had been caught in the middle, was undoubtedly the most heartbroken.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue had a different focus: Tang San really was a child of destiny!

Even after they had ganged up on him with their godly powers, they had managed to kill him—only for him to come back to life! It was absurd!

[In my opinion, Ning Fengzhi, as wise as he was, made his biggest mistake in aligning with Tang San.]

[I can understand why Ning Fengzhi was so desperate to attract talent. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was an auxiliary sect, and its only top fighters were the Sword and Bone Douluo. The sect desperately needed powerful new recruits or allies, otherwise, once the two Douluo were gone, the sect's future would be grim.]

Although Ning Rongrong was still young, she wasn't lacking in intelligence. From Su Ming's diary, she could tell that her sect's future wouldn't be bright if they continued to follow Tang San. If her father wanted to align with him in the future, she would definitely have to come up with a strategy!
