Chapter 186: Another Questioning Begins
[Ding!]
Across the entire Douluo Continent, every intelligent being heard the same ding in their minds. Having experienced this several times before, everyone immediately recognized what was happening the Q&A had begun.
[The Q&A has begun!]
[This session is an open Q&A. All beings are participants and may freely answer!]
[Correct answers will receive generous rewards!]
[Incorrect answers will be met with corresponding punishments!]
[Participants, please answer carefully!]
The moment the notification ended, every being who heard it felt their consciousness being pulled into a mysterious space. Soon, from a strange god's eye perspective, they began watching the video playing in the live broadcast room.
The first thing that appeared on screen was hell on earth.
Yes, for every viewer, the video felt like hell had descended upon the world.
What should have been clear blue skies was now a nightmarish blend of eerie gray and crimson clouds. The entire world had darkened, with scarlet lightning flashing endlessly through the stormy skies. But what stood out most was a massive spatial rift in the very center of the cloud formation.
A gigantic crack in space had torn open in the sky, widening further and further, like a monstrous mouth preparing to devour the world itself.
An aura of chaos, evil, and corruption surged from this crack, spilling into the world below at an alarming rate.
The corruption spread rapidly the ground trembled, space distorted, and an overwhelming evil force drenched everything in sight.
Everyone watching was frozen in shock.
[What… is this?!]
[Why does the Douluo Continent look like this?!]
[What is that rift?!]
[This feels like the end of the world!]
[This is terrifying!]
[No way… is the world about to be destroyed?!]
As countless terrified bullet comments filled the screen, far away in the Divine Realm, five God Kings were also watching this broadcast. Through their divine senses, which were linked to their five divine officials, they witnessed everything unfolding. Their expressions turned grim.
The God of Asura spoke in a solemn voice, "This is clearly a spatial gateway. Some unknown force has forcibly established a passage to the Douluo Continent."
The God of Destruction narrowed his eyes. "It's obvious that whatever is behind this is not under our jurisdiction. But what's more infuriating is its complete disregard for the Divine Realm's authority they're corrupting the Douluo Continent the moment they arrive!"
The God of Evil frowned. "Strange… If something this massive were truly happening, we should have sensed it. But we haven't detected anything why? Are we choosing to ignore this because of our fear of this mysterious Q&A?"
The God of Kindness shook her head. "Impossible! Even if we fear the Q&A's influence, there's no way we'd just stand by and let our subordinate plane be invaded."
The Goddess of Life spoke calmly, "Let's keep watching. Perhaps we'll find our answers soon."
The other God Kings nodded and continued observing in silence.
…
Back in the video, the massive spatial rift in the sky suddenly emitted endless beams of crimson light, bathing the entire world in a sickly, bloody hue.
And within those countless streaks of red light, something began descending to the ground.
As the red light faded, the true forms of these creatures were revealed.
Most were humanoid, yet twisted and grotesque. Many had horned heads, serpent tails, or massive bat like wings. Their skin was either ashen, crimson, or covered in thick scales. Their mouths were filled with razor sharp fangs, and their inhuman features radiated pure malice.
Each was an abomination.
[What the hell are these things?!]
[Disgusting!]
[Are these monsters invading our world?!]
[They're eating people! They're even devouring soul beasts!]
The comment section erupted in sheer panic.
Onscreen, the moment these monstrous creatures landed, they began their unrelenting slaughter.
It was as if they lived only for destruction. Every human and soul beast they encountered was slaughtered on sight, and the corpses were then ravenously devoured.
Humanity was caught completely off guard.
But soon, the soul masters retaliated, launching counterattacks against these monstrous invaders.
Yet no matter how many they killed, more kept coming.
The monsters seemed endless, an unstoppable tide of destruction.
Humanity was forced into retreat.
Eventually, they erected massive city walls to keep the monsters at bay only barely managing to carve out a temporary stronghold.
But those left outside the walls?
They were helpless sacrifices, left to be devoured by the creatures.
And then the video froze.
A question appeared.
[Question: Who, in the future, willingly acted as the Abyss Ruler's lapdog, opening the Abyssal Gate and inviting the Abyssal Demons to invade the Douluo Continent?]
[Option 1: Tang San]
[Option 2: Qian Renxue]
[Option 3: Bibi Dong]
[Option 4: Ye Cheng]
[Option 5: Neptune]
[Option 6: None of the above]
[Warning: Only one answer may be selected! Answer correctly for great rewards. Answer incorrectly, and you will face severe punishment. Please choose carefully.]
[Answer time limit: 60 seconds. If time runs out, the correct answer will be revealed automatically.]
The moment the audience saw the question, pandemonium erupted in the chat.
[So those monsters are called Abyssal Demons?!]
[Wait… this means that someone deliberately let them in?!]
[That bastard! If I find out who it is, I'll kill them myself!]
[This traitor doesn't deserve to be human!]
[Just from watching the video, we can tell this invasion will be devastating. And yet someone willingly brought them here?]
[Whoever this is… they deserve a fate worse than death!]
[We'll know the answer soon enough.]
[But wait… aside from Ye Cheng, Neptune, and Bibi Dong, who the hell are these other names? Never heard of them.]
[Yeah, I'd just guess randomly if there wasn't a punishment for wrong answers.]
[Better safe than sorry…]
The countdown ticked away, and once time was up
The correct answer was revealed.
[Correct Answer: Option 1, Tang San]
The entire chat exploded.
[IT WAS TANG SAN?!]
[That son of a b*tch deserves to be torn apart!!!]
[We should drag him out and execute him!]
[Does anyone know where this Tang San is?]
[Wait, isn't that the son of Hao Tian Douluo?!]
[Could it be a coincidence? Maybe just the same name?]
[I don't know… but judging from what we've seen of that guy before, I wouldn't be surprised.]
Suddenly, everyone's rage turned toward finding Tang San.
The Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires, along with countless factions, publicly declared him a traitor to humanity.
If Tang San was found he would be executed on sight.
