Su Xiaoqi: No need to rush with trading things just yet. I do know about your future, but what exactly do you want to know? Do you want to know your ultimate ending, or just the upcoming events from your current point in the story?
Su Xiaoqi: Let me put it this way: your ending can be considered a perfect one—better than 99.9% of the people in Douluo Continent. But personally, I think it's a bit of a pity, because you ended up becoming the very person you hated most.
Zhu Zhuqing: I ended up with him?
Su Xiaoqi: Yes, you two do end up together. You both ascend to the Divine Realm—he becomes the God of War, and you become the Goddess of Speed.
Lu Linglong: Whoa, am I seeing this right? Ascending to the Divine Realm? Becoming gods? And you're saying that's *disappointing*? Are you sure you're not confused?
Sakata Gintoki: Zhuqing-chan, do you need a sidekick? I'll follow you from now on.
Su Xiaoqi: …
Lu Linglong: Didn't you just say you were going to cling to Su Xiaoqi's thigh? Why the sudden change?
Sakata Gintoki: Yeah, one is clinging to a thigh, the other is being a pendant. Totally different things. Doesn't conflict at all.
Lu Linglong: …You're such a troll.
Zhu Zhuqing was so shocked by Su Xiaoqi's message that she jumped up from bed, eyes wide, rereading the message several times.
Becoming a god… She had always thought that was just a myth on Douluo Continent. She never imagined it could be real—let alone happen to her.
She knew her own talent well. There was no way she could become a god on her own. So who helped her?
Dai Mubai? Or someone else?
Su Xiaoqi: I think you all might be overestimating this whole "becoming a god" thing. The gods in Douluo Continent are just called gods; they're not *that* powerful. Not as impressive as you'd imagine.
Lu Linglong: Still, the title "god" carries weight. To us outsiders, saying you're a "Saiyan" and saying you're a "god" feels very different.
Sakata Gintoki: Exactly! "Gin-san" and "God Gin" sound completely different—one gets all the girls instantly.
Lu Linglong: Wait… Gin-san, are you trying to become a god just to pick up girls?
Sakata Gintoki: Of course not. But if I *were* a god, food would be free, I could enter the women's bath, no rent, no work…
Lu Linglong: If you became a god, the Divine Realm would probably cry.
Zhu Zhuqing: Um… I'd like to ask, what exactly did I go through? I just arrived at Soto City.
Su Xiaoqi: Ah, I see. Then you're still early in the story. Are you about to enroll at Shrek Academy?
Zhu Zhuqing: Yes, tomorrow.
Su Xiaoqi: Let me summarize your journey. After joining Shrek Academy, you'll meet six others. You'll train and study together, and eventually make a name for yourselves in the Great Spirit Arena, gaining the title of "Shrek Seven Devils."
Su Xiaoqi: Later, you all head to Heaven Dou City, intending to join the royal academy, but end up entering Blue Tyrant Academy instead (which later reverts to the name Shrek Academy).
Su Xiaoqi: Here, two major events happen in your life. First, you take an immortal herb called "Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone," which lays the foundation for you to become a god.
Su Xiaoqi: Second, you all participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament and defeat your sister Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi in the process.
Su Xiaoqi: After winning the championship, the seven of you graduate and go your separate ways, making a five-year promise to reunite.
Su Xiaoqi: During those five years, Dai Mubai becomes the Crown Prince of Star Luo Empire, and you become the Crown Princess.
Su Xiaoqi: When you reunite, you travel together to Sea God Island for trials. You pass the Black Rank Five Tests and reach Spirit Douluo level by the time you leave.
Su Xiaoqi: Then you participate in the most critical war in Douluo Continent history—the "Jialing Pass Battle." Due to insufficient strength, you all return to Sea God Island to train. It's there you break through to Titled Douluo level and receive the title "Nether."
Su Xiaoqi: After returning to the battlefield, you all secure victory. Later, you reach level 100 and ascend to the Divine Realm.
Su Xiaoqi: That's the gist of it. I'm exhausted.
Zhu Zhuqing: Thank you. I'll find a way to repay you for this kindness.
Lu Linglong: Wait, wait, wait. Her story sounds super inspiring! She becomes a god purely through her own effort. Why did you say it was a pity?
Sakata Gintoki: Training with your companions and defeating the final boss… That's classic *JUMP* story stuff. It's cliché, but I love it.
Su Xiaoqi: What you say is true. It sounds beautiful and inspiring—but only if you don't know what kind of man Zhu Zhuqing ends up marrying.
Lu Linglong: What do you mean? She marries a scumbag? But didn't you just say he was the Crown Prince?
Sakata Gintoki: Is he like our "Idiot Prince" here?
Su Xiaoqi: @Zhu Zhuqing, do you mind if I share something about him? If you're uncomfortable, I won't.
Zhu Zhuqing: Go ahead. Anyway, it'll all be known sooner or later. I also want to hear how others see him.
Su Xiaoqi: Alright. But before that, let me ask you two a question. What do you think of the phrase: "Women aren't people—they're resources"?
Lu Linglong: Anyone who says that deserves to die.
Sakata Gintoki: I agree. Even if Kagura's an idiot, women are to be protected.
Nami: Whoever said that is the enemy of all women.
Su Xiaoqi: Eh? I thought you were watching *One Piece*?
Nami: I just finished the Cocoyashi Village arc. Thanks for the recommendation.
Su Xiaoqi: No problem. Now back to the topic.
Su Xiaoqi: That line—"Women aren't people; they're resources"—was said by none other than Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé, Dai Mubai. When I said Zhu Zhuqing's ending was a pity, it's because she ended up marrying *that* man.
Su Xiaoqi: If Dai Mubai were an upright, honorable man, I'd give them my blessing. But in my eyes, Dai Mubai is completely undeserving of Zhu Zhuqing's love—and certainly unworthy of her as a person.
