At this moment, Ma Hongjun even suspected that the Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong before him were more real than the Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu in the Divine Realm.
"Who... who exactly are you people? Why are you impersonating so many people from the Douluo Continent of ten thousand years ago?"
"What is your purpose?"
"This..."
Leon thought for a moment and replied, "In a certain sense, we are the real ones, and you are the fakes!"
"Because we are all youths in our prime, while you have weathered the storms of time; none of you are your original selves anymore."
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun's eyes showed doubt and confusion.
Soon!
When Ma Hongjun understood the meaning of Leon's words, his heart became conflicted.
Bibi Dong's group also looked at Leon at this time, their eyes reflecting strange expressions.
Yes.
The Shrek Seven Devils of the Douluo World 2, no matter who they were, were no longer their former selves.
In contrast, the current Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing were in the prime of their youth.
If one truly had to choose which was real between the two, then naturally it was these currently young versions who were their true selves.
Ma Hongjun frowned and said in a deep voice, "But they are fakes. There cannot be identical people in this world."
Leon shook his head slightly, rubbing Xiao Wu's head as he said, "Just because they don't exist in this world doesn't mean they don't exist in other worlds. Do you think I have a reason to lie to you?"
"In the face of absolute strength, any schemes are futile. Why would so many of us impersonate a group of people from ten thousand years ago? What would we have to gain?"
"What use would it be?"
Ma Hongjun's brow remained tightly knit; he still did not believe Leon's words.
Ma Xiaotao chimed in, "Ancestor, they truly come from another world, one where you are twelve years old."
"You can also understand it as them coming from ten thousand years ago."
Ma Hongjun fell into deep thought upon hearing this, then suddenly looked up at Bai Chenxiang at the back of the crowd, his voice somewhat raspy as he asked:
"Then she... is she real too?"
Bai Chenxiang was also visibly stunned, thinking to herself, "I'm standing so far back, how am I involved in this?"
"Yes."
Ma Xiaotao nodded, though she didn't say much else.
The Douluo World 2 Ma Hongjun's expression dimmed at this moment. He opened his mouth, and finally, with a smile on his face, he looked at Bai Chenxiang and said:
"If these things are true, then please, you must reject a man named Ma Hongjun in the future. He cannot give you happiness."
Bai Chenxiang replied coldly, "I don't need you to tell me that."
Ma Hongjun nodded, glanced at Wang Donger, and said to Leon's group:
"Whether what you say is true or false, to be able to see her again today, I am already satisfied—even though she is not *that* her."
"I no longer wish to argue over right and wrong. Let us fight. If I win, I will take Wang Donger back to the Divine Realm; if I lose, I shall be buried here."
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao said hesitantly, "Ancestor, do you really have to keep helping that beast Tang San? Can't you cut ties with him?"
"Regardless of whether our identities are true or false, it is an established fact that Tang San split his own daughter's Divine Sense into several pieces for his own schemes!"
"He is not worth it!"
Ma Hongjun replied with a calm expression, "Ma Xiaotao, this matter has nothing to do with you. We have different positions, and this is also what I owe Tang San. Just do your own part!"
With that said.
Ma Hongjun flew into the air, seemingly transforming into a flaming Phoenix as his god ring lit up behind him.
"Leon, come and fight!"
Leon had no choice in the matter. Before they could chat further or ask if God King Tang San had sent any messages down, the Phoenix God Ma Hongjun couldn't hold back any longer.
Oh, right!
Leon suddenly produced a Magic Treasure—the Golden Bow and Silver Pellets.
The sun rises and shines below, let me tell you of the Golden Melon Crown Prince, Yang Erlang. With Golden Bow and Silver Pellets in hand, he shoots the phoenixes atop the parasol tree. He shoots one, and they are no longer a pair; he shoots another, and they become a couple. He had a mind to shoot three or five more, but he was delayed by carrying the mountain to chase the sun; of thirteen suns, he chased away twelve.
Doesn't this match perfectly?
"Let me!"
Douluo World 1 Gu Yuena stepped forward, prepared to fight in Leon's stead.
Leon was about to refuse.
But Bibi Dong spoke up first:
"Yuena, let me handle it!"
"If you act, Tang San will surely discover your true identity. When the time comes, he might join forces with the other God Kings of the Divine Realm to cause trouble."
"It just so happens that since my Break Through, I haven't had a chance to fight."
Douluo World 1 Gu Yuena heard this and nodded slightly, saying nothing more.
Although Leon wasn't afraid, she didn't want to create trouble for him either.
Leon said somewhat helplessly, "Donger, won't your identity be exposed just the same if you act?"
Bibi Dong replied with a faint smile, "Aren't we already exposed? Let me be the one to act! I will personally deal with the Shrek Seven Devils of Douluo World 2, which will also serve as revenge for the me of this world."
"Alright then!"
Leon looked at the Golden Bow in his hand and felt it was a bit of a pity.
But it was fine!
If he were to act, a mere Second-Class God like the Phoenix God of the Douluo Continent probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single one of his attacks!
Bibi Dong instantly flew out at this moment, summoning the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe to confront the Phoenix God Ma Hongjun in the sky.
[Leon: By the way, go all out. After this kid Ma Hongjun became a god, he's different from Tang San and the others.]
[Leon: This kid was no good in the Lower Realm, but after becoming a god, he turned over a new leaf and Cultivated very hard. He should have the strength of a First-rank God in combat.]
[Bibi Dong: Understood.]
Bibi Dong replied in the Group Chat and immediately used her Perfect Clone, causing two identical First-rank God Bibi Dongs to appear.
Douluo World 2 Ma Hongjun's brow furrowed as he stared intently at Bibi Dong. While others might be impersonated, it was absolutely impossible for Bibi Dong to be a fake.
Bibi Dong was the successor of the Rakshasa God and held a First-rank God Position. Her divine force and aura belonged to the Rakshasa Divinity and could not be imitated.
"Are you all truly real?"
"No!"
"Didn't Ma Xiaotao just say that if you were real, the me in your world would only be 12 years old? At this point in time, you, Bibi Dong, shouldn't have become a god yet!"
Bibi Dong replied calmly, "Yes, but do you think I would still walk the same path as the me in this world?"
With that said.
The Purple-Black Divine Armor solidified around the two Bibi Dongs as the Rakshasa field spread out overwhelmingly, absorbing all the dark resentment in the world to nourish her divine force. The Slaughter God Domain and the pressure of the Twin Spider Emperor Spirits stacked layer upon layer, causing the air to fill with a decaying silence.
The sky darkened as evil mist surged like an ink-colored tide, as if this part of the world had entered its final countdown to doomsday.
[Leon has started a Group Chat livestream...]
[Leon: I overthought it; it seems there's no need to be too serious, because the current Douluo World 2 is my Pope Sister's comfort zone!]
