Nuoding Academy.
Xiao Wu looked at the discussions in the group about the Shura scabbard and the dark inside story of the God Realm, only to feel that the Carrot in her hand suddenly wasn't fragrant anymore.
She had originally thought that becoming a god was a bright and great thing.
But after hearing the Group Owner's revelation...
How did it feel like the God Realm was even darker and more chaotic than the Spirit Beast circles in their Star Dou Great Forest?
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Rongrong looked even more depressed, throwing the sunflower seeds she had just peeled back into the tray.
She had originally thought she was just eating a "two men and one woman" beach melon.
But as she continued eating...
How did it turn into a earth-shattering melon about the God Realm's dark secrets, the fall of the Angel God, and the Sea God's filthiness?
This melon was big and heavy, and it even carried a scent of blood and conspiracy.
Eating it made her heart flutter with panic, and she couldn't be happy at all; she even felt a bit of lingering fear.
If even Spirit Hall could be schemed against, wouldn't their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School be even more miserable?
[Big Sister with a Vicious Heart: Tsk, I thought the God Realm was some kind of good place, but it turns out to be full of sanctimonious things, even filthier than our aristocratic circles on the ground.]
[Ice and Snow Smart: It feels... a bit scary.]
[The Single Married Woman Who Runs the Academy: Hmph, those high and mighty things, few of them are any good!]
[Li Yuan: So, ignorance is bliss.]
[Li Yuan: But don't worry too much; when the sky falls, there are taller people to prop it up.]
[Li Yuan: Besides, knowing is better than being kept in the dark. At least... if you're sold out in the future, you'll know who did it, so you won't die without knowing why, right?]
Everyone: "..." (They weren't comforted at all; instead, they felt even more panicked!)
Crown Princes Mansion.
Qian Renxue's expression became increasingly ugly.
To think that from beginning to end, she had always thought she was the chess player, the one secretly controlling the Heaven Dou Empire and planning for the future.
But she never expected that, including herself and her mother Bibi Dong, and even the entire Spirit Hall, they were all just chess pieces being meticulously schemed against from start to finish!
"Damn Asura God, damn Sea God, my Spirit Hall is irreconcilable with you!"
A wave of unprecedented anger surged into her heart, and a cold light flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes.
"Even if the heavens want my Spirit Hall to die, I, Qian Renxue, will definitely win by half a move against heaven!"
"I, Qian Renxue, will never be a chess piece at the mercy of others!"
"I want to make Spirit Hall great again!"
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and refocused her gaze on the Brick in her hand.
This mysterious chat mutual aid group was her chance to break the deadlock!
The Group Owner Li Yuan could speak of so many future secrets, even including the God Realm's filthy dealings, which meant he must have a solution, or... at least know how to respond!
So, she sent a private message to Li Yuan.
Private Message Interface.
[Child Without Parents: Li Yuan, can you teach me how to make Spirit Hall great again?]
A minute passed, no reply.
Qian Renxue wasn't in a hurry, but her heart sank to the bottom... [Li Yuan: In fact, the Asura God indeed succeeded. After Spirit Hall was gone, the entire Douluo Continent was plunged into darkness, with slaughter caused by Fallen Spirit Masters everywhere...]
[Li Yuan: Can you imagine? Ten thousand years later on the Douluo Continent, a Genius with Innate Full Spirit Power couldn't even save their own mother from illness and even had to rely on selling their body.]
These two sentences were like a bucket of ice water poured over everyone's hearts.
Without Spirit Hall... the Douluo Continent was in darkness, with slaughter everywhere?
Ten thousand years later on the Douluo Continent, a Genius Spirit Master with Innate Full Spirit Power couldn't even save their own mother from illness?
And had to rely on selling their body?
This... what kind of living Hell would that be?
Everyone was stunned by the tragic future Li Yuan described; a chill rose from their hearts and quickly spread throughout their bodies.
[Heaven Dou's Richest Little Rich Girl: No... that can't be right? (Voice trembling)]
[Loves Eating Carrots: That's way too miserable!]
[Big Cat in the Dark Night:...]
[Ice and Snow Smart: How could it be like this... (Hard to accept)]
[The Single Married Woman Who Runs the Academy: Without Spirit Hall, the continent became such a mess? (Can't believe it)]
[Little Fox Who Likes Teacher the Most: Didn't anyone try to recruit her? She's a Genius with Innate Full Spirit Power, after all!]
Saintess Hall.
Hu Liena was very puzzled by this.
One must know that Innate Full Spirit Power was a peerless talent found only once in ten thousand!
Even in Spirit Hall, such a person would be treated as a precious treasure and cultivated with priority.
She herself, as the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall and the first of the Golden Generation, only had level nine Innate spirit power.
Yet even so, she could be established as the Holy Maiden and become a candidate for the next Supreme Pontiff.
How did it happen that ten thousand years later, a person with Innate Full Spirit Power instead became a poor wretch who "couldn't even save their own mother from illness" and wasn't even recruited by anyone?
[Li Yuan: The Douluo Continent of the future is different from now. Right now, Spirit Hall is pressing down on everyone, so these noble and Sect forces don't dare to be too reckless; at least on the surface, there's an enforcer of order. But what about the future?]
[Li Yuan: Let me tell you a story and you'll understand. You were born into a poor family and finally awakened the mutated Spirit, Scorpion Tiger. With your extraordinary talent, you cultivated diligently and finally reached the level of Titled Douluo, but because of a matter so small it couldn't be smaller, your family was destroyed! Even you were forced to flee to the ends of the earth.]
[Li Yuan: And this small matter was because you usually had a small hobby of drinking Spirit Beast blood to Cultivate. After all, your Spirit's characteristics were such that you couldn't do without it, but you didn't kill innocents indiscriminately. The result? You were judged as an Evil Soul Master by the World's number one power, and you were wanted and hunted down by the whole World!]
[Li Yuan: You might not know what an Evil Soul Master is; it's actually just another name for the current Fallen Spirit Masters.]
[Li Yuan: If even a Titled Douluo can be insulted like this, what do you think happens to ordinary Spirit Masters?]
The group instantly became quiet.
Star Luo Empire.
Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously swallowed her saliva.
A dignified Titled Douluo, just because their Spirit's characteristics required drinking some Spirit Beast blood to Cultivate, was judged as an Evil Soul Master by the World's number one power and was wanted and hunted by the entire World?
This was way too... overbearing, wasn't it?!
Shouldn't a Titled Douluo be treated as an honored guest?
Even Titled Douluos were this miserable in the future?
[Big Sister with a Vicious Heart: What... what kind of bullshit logic is this? We have many people now who drink Spirit Beast blood for Body Refining cultivation, and I haven't seen anyone treat them as Evil Soul Masters!]
[Heaven Dou's Richest Little Rich Girl: Exactly! This is too unreasonable, isn't it? They didn't kill innocents; they were just drinking some Spirit Beast blood!]
[Big Cat in the Dark Night: If it's really like this, then the great powers of the future are too... terrifying.]
[The Single Married Woman Who Runs the Academy: I knew those so-called Prestigious Orthodox Sects weren't any good!]
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong, who hated evil as much as she hated her own life, already had a bad impression of "great powers," and at this moment, she felt even more disdainful.
If she were to find out...
That the World's number one power in the future was actually founded by Flender himself, who knows what she would think?
Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at the story on the screen, her eyes full of shock.
As the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, she naturally knew the definition and dangers of Evil Soul Masters.
But the situation Li Yuan described, where someone was branded an Evil Soul Master just because of a special cultivation method, even she felt was a bit... ridiculous!
"The future... has it actually become such a mess?"
She murmured to herself, gaining a more direct sense of the chaos in that "future" World.
