Chapter 164. Welcome to This Era.
"Of course you can. You can watch the history before, but not the history after," Qian Xunji said.
Lin Mengtong nodded. She traveled back to the moment of her birth and rewatched the history that Hua Qiang and Qian Xunji had seen.
After reading it, Lin Mengtong said, "So that's what he meant. My birth was a mistake. Even breathing is a sin."
In this world, hatred that blocks the path is like killing one's parents.
In each era of Douluo Continent, every ten thousand years, the convergence of luck will give birth to a child of destiny. Twenty thousand years ago, it was unknown who it was, but it wasn't Tang San. Ten thousand years ago, it was Huo Yuhao, and ten thousand years later, it would be her.
The Tang family had waited ten thousand years, setting up a plan. Although Tang Wulin was born early, his age had been frozen, waiting for this moment to arrive.
Then, she was born. Her appearance disrupted all the Tang family's subsequent plans, a fact that Tang Hao and Tang San naturally could not tolerate.
In this world, hatred that blocks the path is like killing one's parents.
Lin Mengtong asked, "Your Holiness, I have another question."
"What does Tang Hao mean by 'breaking my destiny'?" Lin Mengtong asked.
"Your destiny is that you are a child of destiny, born into this world with a certain mission. Your actions and deeds will benefit this world, and only then will your destiny remain unbroken." Qian Xunji said, "However, if you do something that violates the principles of destiny, something intolerable, then your destiny will be broken." Qian Xunji explained.
"In other words, Tang Hao killed my parents, my family and friends, hunted me all over the world, and then let me go. He wanted me to harbor hatred and do anything for revenge, even—" Lin Mengtong remembered her final act, when she killed those who pursued her, transforming their souls and flesh into nourishment to increase her strength.
"That's right. It's what caused you to fall from a spirit master with an evil martial spirit to a true evil spirit master. Your destiny was broken," Qian Xunji said. "But this world still respects cause and effect. You were hunted, and you killed out of revenge. So your destiny was broken, but it wasn't broken."
"So Tang Hao imprisoned me in the water dungeon to transfer my luck to his grandson." Lin Mengtong's face showed no emotion, but a dark aura of resentment permeated the air. "So that's how it is, so that's how it is, hahahahahahahahahaha," Lin Mengtong said with a wry smile. "My parents, who have lived their entire lives in seclusion in the mountains, living in peace, have ultimately been reduced to being reviled by the world, and died with injustice and hatred. It's all because of me. In their eyes, this is their fault."
"Mengtong, think about it, Tang Hao was able to oppress you so much because of his grandson, but why? He can monopolize the future of the entire Douluo Continent. Besides, you didn't choose to become the Destiny Child. It's not your fault," Hua Qiang consoled her.
Lin Mengtong remained silent, gazing deeply at a miniature figure within the time tunnel. She pointed at her parents, and...
"Can I take them out of this era?"
Qian Xunji shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, no. I can only take you to that era."
Lin Mengtong sighed, gazing deeply at the innocent people who had died because of her.
She then turned toward the source of the time tunnel, the Spirit Hall era, and said, "Your Holiness, if I had killed Tang San and the others upstream in time, my parents wouldn't have died, right?"
"Anyone who hasn't attained godhood must experience life and death, but since karma has been broken, who knows?" Qian Xunji said.
Lin Mengtong gazed at Tang Hao's towering figure and said, "Tang Hao, you've toyed with me my entire life, harmed my parents and friends, and suppressed my future, all to make your grandson a success. Now it's my turn."
The three of them journeyed upstream through the time tunnel, returning to the Spirit Hall timeline.
"Welcome, Lin Mengtong, to this era." Qian Xunji said, "The era when Tang San and Tang Hao were still growing up."
"To be honest, I really like this era." Hua Qiang said, "At least there is no disgusting thing like God King Tang San. However, it is also this era that gave birth to such a disgusting thing as God King Tang San."
Lin Mengtong nodded, then looked at Qian Xunji and said, "Your Highness, what method did you mean when you said it had the ability to restore my abilities and strength?"
Lin Mengtong, who had been soaked in a water prison for forty years, had his martial soul destroyed and had already lost a leg. Although he only had the level of a Super Douluo, he was actually no different from a useless person.
Just as Qian Xunji was about to reply, the system's voice rang out.
[Ding, congratulations to the host, recruitment mission completed.]
[Mission Rewards: +100% Evil Emperor Douluo's Loyalty, two Hundred-Thousand-Year Universal Spirit Rings, one Yellow Springs Blossom, and a Perfect Recovery Card.]
[The Perfect Recovery Card allows a person to recover to their peak state, as long as they survive.]
[Yellow Springs Blossom: A flower said to grow on the other side of the Yellow Springs, known as Lycoris radiata. Suitable for absorbing Martial Spirits: Evil Martial Spirits, Martial Spirits imbued with the power of death. Absorbing these improves the quality of the Martial Spirit and allows one to comprehend the laws of death.]
Qian Xunji glanced at Lin Mengli. Aside from the Hundred-Thousand-Year Universal Spirit Ring, both items seemed perfectly suited to Lin Mengtong.
The Perfect Recovery Card, designed to restore Lin Mengtong's state and injuries, and the Yellow Springs Blossom's function, the Evil Martial Spirit, and the Death Martial Spirit, reminded Qian Xunji of two individuals who would be most suitable:
Bibi Dong and Lin Mengtong.
Bibi Dong's spirit, the Death Spider Emperor, and Lin Mengtong's, the Evil Eye Spider Emperor, are both evil spirits, possessing a certain element of death.
Of the two, Bibi Dong is undoubtedly the more suitable for Lin Mengtong to absorb.
Lin Mengtong's spirit leans more towards the spiritual element, while Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor is a straightforward Death Spider Emperor.
However, Qian Xunji is no bootlicker. If a goddess is unhappy, buying her this and that and hoping she'll change her mind is impossible.
As long as Bibi Dong hasn't adjusted and still harbors feelings for Yu Xiaogang, Qian Xunji won't invest real resources in her.
Compared to Bibi Dong, a woman with whom he had physical contact and shared a daughter, Qian Xunji prefers to trust Lin Mengtong, the Evil Emperor Douluo recruited from the future by the system.
After all, she is 100% loyal, while Bibi Dong's loyalty is uncertain.
Qianxunji immediately took out the Perfect Recovery Card and used it on Lin Mengtong. A stream of healing light flashed, and Lin Mengtong was bathed in it. A miracle happened.
