The Mindset of the Weak!

So it was a reward for commenting?

Jing Hongchen calmed his excited emotions. He had thought... Huo Yun'er had been recruited by Tang San?

Because... didn't I mention it in my diary?

After Huo Yuhao's mother died, her soul was extracted by Tang San.

With a little torture from Tang San, Huo Yun'er might just betray him.

If Tang San finds out about the Diary, then we're doomed!

This is why he lost his composure and hurriedly left the negotiation site with Mu En.

[Soul Engineer: I see. Well then, I apologize. However, Ms. Huo, please don't blame me for being suspicious.]

[Soul Engineer: You know, Huo Yuhao's worst fate is to become Tang San's dog. At the very least, you can still attain a God Position and live forever. I have to be careful...]

Even Huo Yun'er admitted that what the Soul Engineer in the group said was indeed correct.

But...

To be Tang San's dog?

That's the mindset of the weak!

This option had never crossed her mind from the very beginning.

From beginning to end, Huo Yun'er admired great heroes. In her eyes, Dai Hao was a peerless hero. And her son, Huo Yuhao, would also become a peerless hero!

Initially, even she herself thought this idea was an unrealistic expectation.

But after obtaining the Diary, she learned everything.

Child of Luck! Million-Year Soul Ring! Remnant Soul of a God from Another World!

He already has the potential to become a god, so why not give it a shot?

It's far better to take your own destiny into your own hands than to leave it to others.

To use a simple example...

Huo Yun'er is the author of a novel, and Huo Yuhao is her work. Tang San is a novel website.

You might be overjoyed when a website offers a million dollars to buy the copyright to your work.

But... if you were a reborn being, and you knew the works you created were titled "Douluo Continent" and "Battle Through the Heavens"?

Can you resist the urge to sell the copyright now, or keep it and wait for a better price?

That's exactly what Huo Yun'er was thinking!

(PS: This answers a question from friends who had no idea why Huo Yun'er didn't just surrender.)

[Huo Yun'er: It's alright. I understand your concerns.]

[Huo Yun'er: I have a favor to ask. The next round of Current Affairs Review is approaching, and if you all really don't have any topics to discuss, please help me out.]

[Huo Yun'er: I would like to trouble everyone to ask: In my situation, how can I help Yuhao move forward more effectively?]

Shen Yichen's eyes lit up. "Oh ho, that's a good question!"

You ask me what to do? Isn't that just wanting to be my pawn, to be directed by me?

Coincidentally, most of the topics discussed over the past year have been trivial and meaningless. He also followed the principle of discretion, not daring to be too obvious in his comments in the group.

This time, it was Huo Yun'er who brought it up herself!

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: I'll help you with this! The Sect Master Du will help too, right?]

[Du Busi: Hmm.]

[Soul Engineer: As an apology, I also helped.]

[Black Dragon: Count me in.]

In the group chat, apart from Zhang Lexuan who did not publicly express her support, everyone else was willing to Huo Yun'er a hand.

It wasn't that he really wanted to help Huo Yun'er; he just wanted to use Huo Yun'er to give Tang San another kick in the face.

Zhang Lexuan didn't publicly offer support, and the others understood. The Shrek members were leaving themselves a way out; those who know, know...

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: You old codger, you'd better lay low for now.]

[Du Busi: You call for the sect leader when you need something, but otherwise you just call me Old Immortal, huh?]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Hey, what are you saying? Your name is Immortal, so is it wrong for me to respectfully call you Old Immortal?]

[Du Busi: Don't try to talk back to me. Tell me why I need to lay low for a while.]

[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: You're not planning to cause trouble again, are you? Do you really have a death wish?]

[Du Busi:...]

It wasn't that he didn't want to live anymore. It was just that after being severely beaten and having his cultivation destroyed, he couldn't let it go without causing some trouble.

But...

He felt much better after disgusting Tang God King this time.

Hiding away to avoid the limelight isn't a bad idea.

[Du Busi: Then tell me, what should I do now?]

When pragmatists are lost and can't find their direction, their first reaction is to ask the idea king for an idea.

Although Shen Yichen's ideas were wildly imaginative, it must be said that every single one of them hit the nail on the head, allowing him to achieve the results he wanted.

As a result, even Du Busi is now somewhat blindly following Shen Yichen.

Upon seeing the message about the Du Busi, Shen Yichen began to ponder it and relayed it to his teacher.

After all, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. A teacher might just come up with some good ideas.

Where else in the Douluo Continent is there a place where one can escape Du Busi?

Shen Yichen really couldn't think of anything. The only things he could think of besides the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were Dragon Valley.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is Tang San's most precious possession. Sending Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to find it is tantamount to Du Busi.

Dragon Valley is far overseas. While the Limit Douluo, Du Busi, could sail out to find it,... for the half-crippled Du Busi go out to sea would be suicide...

"Send him to the Sun Moon Empire," Mu En suddenly said.

"Go to the Sun Moon Empire? Join the Sun Moon Empire?" Shen Yichen tilted his head.

Mu En gave Shen Yichen a slightly indulgent glare, then gently tapped Shen Yichen's forehead.

"Although I know you may not have a good impression of Douluo Three Kingdoms, remember, you grew up on this land."

Just as Shen Yichen thought Mu En was about to spout some ideas about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, Mu En changed the subject, "The Sun Moon cannot rule the Douluo continent. But... you can!"

"Hmm... hmm?" Shen Yichen suddenly looked up, his big eyes filled with shock.

"I understand. You believe a unified continent is better than the current chaos of war." Mu En, a shrewd and experienced man, had long seen through his disciple's character. "I agree with that view."

"However, you must understand that hatred is a continuous process. Shrek is just an academy; the teachers and students are the main body. Students from noble families across the Douluo Continent will not allow the Sun Moon Empire to occupy their homeland, even if they know that unification is a good thing..."

Shen Yichen pursed his lips thoughtfully.

"This exclusion is limited to the Sun Moon Empire."

The war has dragged on for so long that both the lower and middle classes are exhausted. In Shen Yichen's previous life, what war could last for three to five thousand years?

Shen Yichen's confused look faded, and he babbled a bunch of things, "Teacher, do you want me to unify this continent?"

"It's not that the teacher wants you to do it; it's that you want to do it yourself."

Me? I want to unify the world? Is that even possible?

Shen Yichen examined his own heart, and it seemed... he really did have that feeling.

It wasn't for the sake of the lower classes, nor was it to end the war.

Simply because the territory is there, who wouldn't want to be an emperor?

Being an emperor who unifies the world is a great way to show off!

In fact, he doesn't even need to put in any extra effort; as long as he has the 'fist,' who in the world dares to disobey him?

Once Huo Yuhao became a god, Xu Jiawei simply and obediently abdicated in favor of Dai Hao...

Only...

"What does that have to do with preventing the Du Busi the Sun Moon Empire?"
