Dai Mubai was stunned by this scene.
Blood splattered on his face, burning hot.
He turned and ran.
In a panic, they didn't know which way to go.
Just as he was about to break through the encirclement, a Soul Master from the Heaven Dou Empire blocked his way.
That was a Soul Master.
Holding a long spear, his face revealed murderous intent.
"Trying to run?"
The spear thrust out, its cold gleam chilling the eye.
Dai Mubai was terrified and could not even muster 30% of his soul power.
The spear was about to pierce his throat.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
The old soldier from before suddenly rushed over.
He was covered in blood, trying to take the bullet for Dai Mubai.
However.
There isn't enough space.
The veteran is just one step away from becoming Dai Mubai.
In the blink of an eye.
Dai Mubai did something that surprised everyone.
He didn't have that veteran fighting alongside him.
He didn't use his own soul skill to defend himself.
He reached out his hand.
He suddenly grabbed the shoulder of the veteran who had come to his rescue.
Then.
Push hard.
"Pfft!"
The spear pierced through the veteran's chest.
Blood gushed out, splattering all over Dai Mubai's face.
The veteran's eyes widened.
He stared in disbelief at the prince he had risked his life to protect.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only bloody foam came out.
And Dai Mubai.
Taking advantage of the moment when the veteran's body blocked the spear.
He didn't even glance at the scapegoat.
Soul power erupted beneath his feet.
Like a stray dog, it plunged into the dark rain without looking back.
Only the old soldier's body remained, hanging on his rifle, swaying in the wind and rain.
...
Dead silence.
In the reality of the dark world.
At that moment, even the air seemed to freeze.
Immediately afterwards.
It's an outbreak.
It was a more violent eruption than any before.
"brute!!!"
"Those were the soldiers who came to his rescue!"
"He pushed his savior in to take a bullet for him? And then ran away?"
"Is this something a human being would do?"
"A deserter! A traitor who betrays his friends for personal gain! Does this kind of person deserve to live?"
The crowd in Xingluo Square went completely mad.
Countless people, their eyes red, pointed at Dai Mubai and cursed him angrily.
Even more so, some had already activated their martial spirits, wishing they could rush up and tear this scoundrel to pieces.
Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang's face turned green.
Although he advocates putting profit first, his actions of betraying his teammates and harming loyal officials have crossed the line of humanity.
Even he couldn't find a single word to clear his name.
"These are the good students from Shrek Academy?"
"This is a monster?"
"I think he's a heartless monster!"
A torrent of accusations came from all around.
Tang San stood there, his face ashen.
He looked at Dai Mubai, a hint of disappointment and coldness flashing in his eyes.
In the Tang Clan, such behavior would be punishable by being pierced by ten thousand arrows.
Dai Mubai was trembling all over.
He sensed it.
That kind of malice from the whole world.
Everyone wanted to kill him.
Everyone looked down on him.
"No...it's not like that..."
"That's instinct... I want to live too..."
Dai Mubai stammered his explanation, his feet involuntarily taking a step back.
He wanted to run away.
Just like that rainy night back then.
Escape this suffocating place.
Just as he turned around...
A hand pressed down on his shoulder.
It's Tang San.
"Mu Bai".
Tang San's voice was deep and unreadable.
Where are you going?
"If you leave now, you will truly cement your reputation as a coward."
"We are the Shrek Seven Devils."
"It is one."
Even if it's wrong, we can only bear it now.
Tang San's words sounded like he was trying to help him.
But Dai Mubai felt that the hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, pressing down on him so that he couldn't move at all.
He could only stand there stiffly.
Like a clown stripped naked, facing judgment from two worlds.
Above the sky.
The image slowly faded away.
The darkest period for the underworld has temporarily come to an end.
A light shone.
That was a chapter belonging to the white world.
The scene above the sky is frozen in time.
The dark world.
Although the shouting and cursing in Xingluo Square gradually subsided, the anger in those eyes could not be suppressed.
"It's hopeless."
Someone in the crowd spat.
"It's rotten to the core."
"I think Dai Mubai from the White World is probably just like him."
"All crows under the sky are black; they're all born of the same father, so how can they possibly grow up to be different?"
The vast majority of people have no hope for this.
After all, the scene of "pushing someone to block a gun" was so shocking that it shattered their last bit of romantic illusion about the royal family.
Dai Mubai huddled behind the Shrek Academy members.
As he listened to the surrounding chatter, his originally pale face flushed an unnatural red.
He refused.
On what grounds?
Why should everyone assume that their version of themselves in that world is necessarily better?
"Just wait..."
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, squeezing out the words through his clenched teeth.
"In that world, I had such a smooth life, so I must have never encountered a real life-or-death crisis."
"When it really comes down to life and death, who wouldn't want to live?"
"I refuse to believe he can be any more noble than me!"
Tang San, standing to the side, frowned slightly upon hearing this, but ultimately said nothing.
He wanted to see it too.
What would the so-called "White Emperor of Heaven" do if faced with the same situation, or the difficulties that one would expect at that age?
...
White world.
On Poseidon Island, Poseidon holds her scepter, gazing at the sky with a hint of interest in her eyes.
"This little guy is going to steal the spotlight again."
Spirit Hall.
Pope Bibidon sat high on her throne, her long legs crossed.
She looked at the chaotic scene in the dark world, a hint of disdain on her lips.
"The Star Luo royal family of that world is truly an eye-opener."
"but..."
Her gaze shifted to the scene of the sky about to light up, and her eyes softened.
"This side is certainly something to look forward to."
Star Luo Empire.
At this moment, there is an extremely strange atmosphere throughout the country.
On one hand, he was cursing the "deserter" in the underworld, wishing he could cross over and enforce the law.
On one hand, they were craning their necks towards the sky, eagerly awaiting to see their emperor's heroic figure.
"His Majesty was known for being extremely protective of his own people back then."
"That's right, anyone who dares to touch His Majesty's people is really asking for trouble."
Inside the Imperial Garden.
The atmosphere was just right.
In the white world, Dai Mubai was still lying on the rocking chair, only in a more comfortable position.
He casually picked up a grape and popped it into his mouth.
"I said..."
He looked at the circle of beautiful women surrounding him and found it somewhat amusing.
"Are you all really that nervous?"
"Isn't it just bringing up an old story?"
Qian Renxue closed the memorial in her hand and glanced at him with her golden eyes.
"nervous?"
"We want to see how our wise and mighty emperor tricked young girls back then."
Xiao Wu nodded vigorously, her rabbit ears bobbing up and down.
"That's right!"
