However, for the general public who knew this history, it was a different feeling.
Children could awaken their Spirit for free at the age of six. Spirit Masters with spirit power could get a spot as a work-study student, attend school, and students who became Spirit Masters could receive monthly stipends.
This...
Wasn't this a beautiful World? Why was it called the Dark Age?
If history was truly like this, why was the era of Spirit Hall ended by the Shrek Seven Devils?
What Hua Qiang didn't know was that if He Hua's actions were revenge against those nobles, endangering their Life and challenging the order they had established, which made all parties unite to suppress her.
Then Hua Qiang's restoration of history, her promotion of Spirit Hall during the Dark Age, touched a taboo in the God Realm.
God Realm.
Tang San's family lived happily together. He and the Shrek Seven Devils had formed a formidable circle in the God Realm.
Although Tang San was a first-rank Sea God, he also inherited the God King God Position. After nearly eleven years of consolidation (one day in the God Realm is one year on the Douluo Continent), Tang San's God Position had stabilized.
Furthermore, he began to gradually implement his plans in the God Realm, and conflicts with the Life God and the God of Destruction began to emerge. The Shrek Seven Devils consistently and firmly supported Tang San, because by always following Tang San and reaping benefits, they had grown accustomed to relying on him. They also believed that this clever and cunning San brother could carve out a bright future for them in the God Realm.
When the conflict between Tang San and the God of Destruction erupted, and both sides were planning for their future, they suddenly felt a tremor in their faith power.
Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and others also successively felt a slight tremor in their faith.
Although not obvious, it caught Tang San's attention.
The Shrek Seven Devils gathered again.
"What happened? Why do I feel my faith wavering?" Ma Hongjun asked.
The God of War, Dai Mubai, said, "There must be some problem on the Douluo Continent."
Tang San frowned. Unlike gods who achieved godhood through laws like Destruction and Life, Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils' God Positions were forged by faith. The stronger the faith, the more stable the God Position and the more powerful they became.
Conversely, if faith wavered and people's belief became unstable, their own strength would also become unstable.
However, once a god ascended, they could not easily descend to the lower World. Gods found it difficult to interfere with the changes that occurred over many years in the lower World.
The former angel god ascended, and thousands of years later, how much faith in the angel god remained on the Douluo Continent? Besides the offerings from Spirit Hall, there was almost nothing left.
His own faith as the Sea God would also weaken over time. The Douluo Continent was Tang San's foundation. How could he ensure his faith would be eternally spread on the Douluo Continent?
Before his ascension, he predicted the emergence of Evil Soul Masters in the future, who would plague the continent.
Clever, wise, and extremely cunning, he immediately thought of using Evil Soul Masters to prolong his faith. So, before his ascension, he sent a divine oracle to Flender, telling them that when Evil Soul Masters appeared in the future, they must be suppressed but not completely eradicated.
The more Evil Soul Masters plagued the World, the more Shrek would suppress them in the name of the Sea God. People's faith in the Sea God would become even stronger. Over time, the faith in the Sea God, and even in the Shrek Seven Devils, could be deeply rooted in the Douluo Continent.
However, at this moment, the fluctuation of faith on the Douluo Continent undoubtedly made Tang San realize that his plan had a problem.
So the Shrek Seven Devils opened the Xuan Guang Mirror to investigate, and upon seeing, they understood the cause of the problem.
It turned out to be related to Spirit Hall. Hua Qiang was exploring history, unearthing the past, and restoring ancient systems.
Her actions were indirectly acknowledging Spirit Hall. If Spirit Hall was acknowledged, what would become of them, the ones who ended Spirit Hall?
With Tang San's victory and the end of the Spirit Hall era, the nobles, of course, prioritized their own interests. Many systems imposed by Spirit Hall were naturally not continued, so benefits like the annual Spirit awakening and monthly stipends for commoner Spirit Masters naturally disappeared.
The Shrek Seven Devils needed the faith of these "troublesome commoners" and even the entire Douluo Continent to consolidate their God Positions. But with Spirit Hall destroyed and its old systems abolished, it would be strange if these commoners didn't resent them. How could they still expect faith? What a pipe dream!
Satisfying these troublesome commoners and continuing Spirit Hall's political system was impossible. From ancient times, there has been an orderly hierarchy of noble and lowly. Isn't it better for the commoners to honestly toil in the fields, dutifully pay tribute to the nobles, and recharge our gods with faith, instead of foolishly dreaming of things that don't belong to them?
They needed to suppress the troublesome commoners while also requiring their faith. What to do?
The answer was a two-step approach. First, rewrite history, slandering Spirit Hall as much as possible. The past era was dark and ignorant, and Spirit Hall's tyranny far exceeded the present, so people would naturally not long for the past.
Second, cultivate enemies to maintain importance. After Spirit Hall fell and Slaughter City was destroyed, Evil Soul Masters emerged like bamboo shoots after rain. They plagued regions, and Shrek would pacify them once in the name of the Sea God. The troublesome commoners would naturally be grateful to the Sea God, and an endless stream of faith would roll in.
But Hua Qiang uncovered the hidden history and simultaneously promoted a retro system, aiming to allow everyone to awaken their Spirit.
Wasn't this a negation of Shrek's past glorious achievements?
This move undoubtedly touched the Shrek Seven Gods' cheese. Dai Mubai was furious, clenching his fists tightly, and said through gritted teeth:
"So it's a bug in the lower World causing trouble. What does she want by publicizing the history of Spirit Hall? To acknowledge Spirit Hall's history? These commoners are truly delusional. Wouldn't it be better to be honest and dutiful?"
"Spirit Hall truly lingers like a ghost. After being destroyed for so many years, people still miss them?" Xiao Wu recalled her mother being killed by Bibi Dong and Da Ming and Er Ming being forced to sacrifice themselves. Full of resentment, she said, "San brother, after this matter is over, we need to be more thorough in eliminating Spirit Hall. An organization like Spirit Hall should be swept into the dustbin of history."
"That's right, Spirit Hall shouldn't appear in this history," Ma Hongjun said.
"I agree. These people who can think of Spirit Hall's history are probably remnants of Spirit Hall, aren't they? Since they are remnants of Spirit Hall, let's completely clean them up and restore a pure land to the Douluo Continent," Oscar said with firm resolve.
