Has His Brain Been Blasted by a Cannon?!

At Shrek, from the students and teachers at the bottom to the deans and elders at the top, there were too many people with something wrong in their heads to count.

But as luck would have it, the Diary Copy happened to land in the hands of Zhang Lexuan, whose head was in reasonably good working order.

And as luck would also have it, Zhang Lexuan went to Mu En, the Sea God Pavilion Master, whose head was likewise in good working order.

Of the people the original work devoted time to describing, only two and a half at Shrek could truly be called normal.

Mu En counted as one, Zhang Lexuan counted as one, and Wang Yan counted as half.

Why did Wang Yan count as half? Because Wang Yan had also fallen victim to the Shrek Glory Gu.

Everyone else's brains were like they'd been blasted by a cannon!

In the loves, hatreds, and grudges of Xian Lin'er, Qian Duoduo, Yan Shaozhe, and Cai Mei'er, was there a single trace of normal adulthood?

Mu En might have fed Douluo in his youth, but even after Ye Xishui, the continent's greatest beauty at the time, set a trap for him, he still surged onward to become a Limit Douluo, truly freeing himself from the adverse effects of the "love Gu."

As for the four deans who made up Shrek's Four Treasures of Good Fortune, not one had surpassed level ninety-five.

There was a war going on outside, yet inside, you were still tangled up in that "you love me, I love you" crap. It had quite the air of a novel aimed at women.

Of course, Shen Yichen, who was personally involved in this world, knew that Shrek still had plenty of clever people.

Take Elder Zhuang, for example, an old man who neither fought nor competed for anything, with a kindly face and a smile for everyone.

Then there was Shen Yichen's grandmother, Elder Lin, who loved a good bit of fun. A genius at business and investment, she held the purse strings and had connections throughout the Douluo Continent.

But whether there was something wrong with them or not, Mu En no longer dared trust a single one of them.

Rather than trust those old geezers, he might as well personally nurture the seedlings of the next generation.

Especially... little Yichen!

If anyone had a chance of dealing with Sea God Tang San, little Yichen definitely counted as one!

Suddenly!

Mu En's expression turned grim...

That was right. Little Yichen's Martial Soul and talent might not match those of Huo Yuhao, who had cheats according to the diary.

But... with an Indestructible Diamond Body and a Golden Cudgel that had sent Xuan Zi flying with a wave, there was no way he could have remained unknown. Why... hadn't the diary writer mentioned him?

Had he died young?

Mu En raised his head and gazed at the clear blue sky, a flame kindling in his cloudy eyes.

As for who could harm little Yichen under his protection, it was likely only the gods in the heavens!

"Mu En? Mu En?" Zhang Lexuan reached out and gently nudged Mu En.

In an instant, Mu En became that old grandfather again. "When you get old, it's hard to concentrate..."

Zhang Lexuan said nothing. She had thought of much the same things Mu En had, though her thoughts had not been as bold as his.

In Zhang Lexuan's view, Shrek's Sea God Pavilion were believers in the Sea God, after all. Surely the Sea God wouldn't go so far as to kill him?

"Mu En, now that the Current Affairs Review is over, it's time for the Copy Holders' comments!" Zhang Lexuan said through a mental transmission.

The comments?

Mu En nodded as he remembered. With so much going on, he had nearly forgotten about that feature.

"You don't have to use your real name in the comments. You can choose a nickname. What do you think...?"

"Don't let it have the slightest connection to Shrek!" Mu En breathed out. "And in your comments, don't show the slightest faith in the one up above."

"As for the rest... I'll leave it to you. Lexuan, you're a clever child..."

"Mm, I understand."

White Tiger Duke's Mansion

Huo Yun'er was completely numb.

I don't understand. I'm just a nobody. Is it really a good thing for me to know so many secrets?

"Mom, I want to hear a story..."

Huo Yun'er pulled her thoughts away from the major events in the diary and looked at the well-behaved child before her, maternal warmth showing on her face.

"All right. What story does little Yuhao want to hear?"

Boom!

It was as though a peal of thunder had exploded in Huo Yun'er's mind.

Little Yuhao? Yuhao? Huo Yuhao!

"Mom, I want to hear the story of Sea God Tang San and the Tang Sect."

Huo Yun'er: "!!!!!"

Damn! The Sea God's come knocking at our door!

The Huo Yuhao in the diary couldn't be my son, could he?

Given how much little Yuhao hated the Dai Family, if anything happened to her, it wouldn't be hard to understand him changing his surname to Huo on the spot.

She had only been a little numb before, but now all color had drained from her face.

Yuhao was her everything!

"Yuhao, Mommy's a little tired today, so let's skip the story for now, all right?"

"Okay~"

Huo Yun'er hadn't wanted to take part in the comments, but now it seemed she couldn't avoid it.

[Cloud: Huo Yuhao is way too ridiculous. Can someone's First Soul Ring really reach a million years?]

[Soul Engineer: It's so ridiculous that it doesn't seem fake.]

[Little Noble: Does someone like me really deserve to know secrets that concern the entire continent?]

Sea God Island, Elder Lin's little attic

Shen Yichen looked at the comments that had appeared after the main text of the Current Affairs Review, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

So... I can see them too, and I can even take part in the comments.

Then... doesn't that mean there's even more I can do?!

Who said the diary system only sent out three copies? It clearly sent out four...

But...

Cloud, Soul Engineer, Little Noble.

Those three nicknames really don't have any distinctive personal characteristics.

It's not very likely I can figure out who they are from their nicknames.

But this [Cloud] is so concerned about Huo Yuhao. Could it be Huo Yun'er?

Shen Yichen gave a small nod. He wasn't sure, but it was possible.

Given enough time, nobody can stay hidden!

When no new comments appeared for a while, Shen Yichen rubbed his chin. It looked like they were all still being cautious.

Then... let me break this deadlock!

[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: If Sea God Tang San really is the kind of person the diary says he is, what will the continent do?]

Here it comes!

Jing Hongchen narrowed his eyes. Finally, someone had started talking about the subject!

[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: By the way, are you all seniors from ten thousand years ago too?]

[Little Noble: Ten thousand years ago?]

[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Yeah. Didn't Sea God Tang San become a god ten thousand years ago?]

Zhang Lexuan frowned. Why did this person's comments feel... so innocent?

When in doubt, ask Mu En.

"I see..." Mu En shook his head. "Girl, don't make things too complicated. Not everyone who received this diary can possess great wisdom. It's perfectly normal for a child or an ordinary person to appear."

"We still haven't found the pattern."

"Then... Mu En, can we say we're from this era too?"

"Go ahead. It can't be hidden. Besides, it's not a secret that has to be kept. Even if you don't say it, as long as a second person responds, everyone will know it in their hearts as clearly as if they were looking in a mirror."

Sure enough, before Zhang Lexuan could speak.

[Cloud: Mm! That's right. For me, the Sea God did become a god ten thousand years ago.]

[Soul Engineer: Yeah, it's the same for me.]
