The moment those words left his mouth, both Tang San across from him and Tang Hao hiding in the shadows could not help but grow expectant.
The secrets Su Ming had just revealed were not even recorded anywhere on the Douluo Continent.
Tang Hao only knew of the Blue Silver Emperor because Ah Yin had personally told him about it back then.
So now, Tang Hao truly believed that Su Ming's Trinity Gate came from another continent.
As for Tang San, he still did not know about his own origins. He was simply interested in the Trinity Gate behind Su Ming.
He wanted to know what kind of sect the Trinity Gate was!
During the Spirit Awakening, Su Ming had left Tang San far too shocked and deeply impressed.
In his previous life, Brother Ming's appearance back then had been just like an immortal from the legends!
Even decades from now, Tang San would surely still remember that day vividly, unable to forget it!
Seeing Tang San's eager expression, Su Ming stopped keeping him in suspense and began to explain.
"When it comes to the Trinity Gate, we must first speak of the Sun Moon Continent.
Like the Douluo Continent, the Sun Moon Continent also has soul masters. However, in every aspect, the Sun Moon Continent surpasses the Douluo Continent.
To put it bluntly, saying that the Sun Moon Continent's overall level exceeds the Douluo Continent's by a thousand years would be an understatement!"
From the very start, Su Ming utterly belittled the Douluo Continent while wildly elevating the Sun Moon Continent's status. This would make it easier for his future Alter Egos to appear, for him to alter the plot, and to harvest Willpower/Votive Power more effectively.
To make them believe him, Su Ming deliberately cited an example that was right before their eyes.
"Take the common Blue Silver Grass growing by the roadside.
Over thousands of years, has anyone on the Douluo Continent conducted such detailed research, or figured out its evolutionary paths and cultivation methods?
Without question, no! The Douluo Continent still treats Blue Silver Grass as nothing more than a Waste Martial Soul."
Tang San had lived in Holy Soul Village since childhood and had never been to the outside world, so he knew very little about martial souls.
As for enormous secrets like Blue Silver Grass being able to evolve, the ten-thousand-year Blue Silver King, or the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, he knew even less.
The only people on the Douluo Continent who might know such things were likely Ah Yin and the Blue Silver King who helped Tang San awaken in the original story.
Thus, in Tang San's view, the fact that Su Ming could so easily deduce that he possessed Twin Martial Souls and see that his Blue Silver Grass was extraordinary indirectly proved that the Sun Moon Continent was stronger than the Douluo Continent.
Tang Hao, observing from the shadows, had to admit that he had no way to refute this.
Here on the Douluo Continent, Blue Silver Grass truly was the most common weed by the roadside. Anyone who awakened a Blue Silver Grass martial soul was immediately judged by Spirit Hall to possess a Waste Martial Soul.
"There is only one nation on the Sun Moon Continent: the Sun-Moon Empire.
The Sun-Moon Empire possesses vast territories and commands awe in all directions. It also has the Ming Cult as its state-protecting sacred sect, while countless sects and clans exist under its rule.
The Trinity Gate is one of them.
In its heyday, the Trinity Gate was guarded by a demigod and was known as one of the Two Daoist Supremes!"
Tang San's heart tightened upon hearing this.
Although he had been a disciple of the Tang Sect in his previous life, the words "Daoist sect" were extremely familiar to him.
Then he realized that the Daoist sect Su Ming spoke of probably did not carry the same meaning as it had in his previous life.
After all, his previous world had no such things as martial souls or soul masters.
At that moment, Tang San keenly noticed that Su Ming's mood had somehow fallen.
"Unfortunately, disaster later struck. The Trinity Gate was exterminated by Quansheng Demonic Cultivators, and only a handful of people escaped alive."
As he spoke, Su Ming's eyes reddened.
"Brother Ming, are you all right?" Tang San hurried forward in concern.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao in the shadows was stunned by the mention of a demigod!
Could gods truly exist in this world? Tang Hao did not think Su Ming was talking nonsense.
After all, there was simply no need for him to do so.
If the Trinity Gate truly were not strong, Su Ming could have simply made up a few Titled Douluo.
Combined with the secrets he had revealed earlier, that would have been enough to leave outsiders with the impression that it was a powerful sect.
There was no need whatsoever to fabricate the existence of a demigod.
On the Douluo Continent, gods existed only in legends.
There had once been Douluo who cultivated to the peak and speculated that becoming a god might lie beyond the Douluo rank.
Yet over thousands of years, no one had ever accomplished it.
Now that Su Ming had spoken of demigods, if it was true, it meant that gods on the Sun Moon Continent were not some illusory notion—someone had truly reached that level!
Could the Sun Moon Continent possess a method to become a god?
Having formed that guess, Tang Hao was instantly overwhelmed with excitement. He nearly could not restrain himself from stepping out to question Su Ming properly.
If one became a god, perhaps Ah Yin could be resurrected.
But in the end, reason told Tang Hao that he could not rashly reveal himself yet. How could he explain everything otherwise?
If he caused Su Ming to become estranged from him, or even from Little San, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Feeling the Willpower/Votive Power he was harvesting from Tang Hao, Su Ming was practically overjoyed.
Yet his expression remained utterly professional, without revealing the slightest flaw.
"I'm fine. I just remembered those family members who have passed away." Su Ming took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears. If he was putting on an act, he might as well go all the way.
Before Tang San could ask anything, Su Ming decided to reveal his "blood-deep vendetta."
Let this so-called "blood-deep vendetta" serve as the finale for tonight.
Someone would be unable to sleep tonight!
"When the Quansheng Demonic Cultivators slaughtered the Trinity Gate, I had just been born.
My father, who served as acting sect master, chose to live and die alongside the sect. At the same time, he sent me away through a special teleportation formation. However, the Quansheng Demonic Cultivators damaged it during the transfer, causing an accident that ultimately brought me to the Douluo Continent.
In the end, Grandpa Jack took me in. As I grew older, the seal in my mind gradually opened, and matters concerning my origins and the Sun Moon Continent began to emerge in my memories."
After revealing his origins, Su Ming changed the subject.
"Little San, the reason I told you about my background is not only because you are my good brother, but also because you are a genius with Twin Martial Souls!
I hope that after the two of us become Titled Douluo in the future, we can go to the Sun Moon Continent and help me take revenge!"
"In return, I will create a personalized growth plan for you.
With this plan and my training, you will walk the correct path toward becoming a Titled Douluo at the fastest possible speed! I understand the unique qualities of Twin Martial Souls very well. There definitely will not be any mistakes along the way!"
"You may even become a demigod—it will no longer be just a fantasy!"
Su Ming gave Tang San no time to think and immediately pressed, "So, Tang San, what do you say?"
This time, he called Tang San by his full name.
This was not merely an invitation, but also a test for Tang San!
