The Holy Spirit Cult Races Against Time

"Good feedback! Keep it going."

Feeling the impact Mu En's monologue had on the continent, Shao Zhuang was in high spirits.

The greater the impact, the more benefits he would be able to obtain later on.

If this trend continued, then once his own exclusive monologue appeared, he would be able to reverse effects into causes and turn it all into reality.

He might even transcend the entire Douluo Plane—and the whole God Realm—in the future.

"System, begin playing the monologue of the tied tenth-ranked Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao."

Then, while the iron was hot, Shao Zhuang prepared to continue exposing them.

Although Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui were all Limit Douluos, Mu En was the strongest among them.

That was evident from their sparring matches: Mu En had always won more often than he lost.

Logically, Mu En's monologue should have been the last of the three to appear.

But Shao Zhuang had not arranged them that way.

That was because the order in which the three appeared also took the content of their monologues into account.

Mu En had initially been kept in the dark the longest and suffered the most harm, but fortunately, he was able to let go in the end.

Long Xiaoyao, on the other hand, had never escaped it. After encountering Ye Xishui later, he was thoroughly deceived again and given a false truth. In order to atone, he completely became the Holy Spirit Cult's enforcer.

Ye Xishui had been brainwashed by the Holy Spirit Cult since childhood and eventually went completely mad. It was only when she was close to death, moved by Long Xiaoyao saving her, that a sliver of her conscience returned, and she told Long Xiaoyao the entire truth.

Only by having Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui give their monologues in that order could the benefits be maximized.

[Strongest Human Monologue Ranking, tied for tenth place: Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao!]

Just as the vast majority of living beings across the continent thought the Heavenly Curtain had temporarily ended, that indifferent voice rang out once more.

Countless beings raised their heads again, looking toward the content displayed upon the Heavenly Curtain.

"Long Xiaoyao? That guy!"

Within the Sea God Pavilion, Xuan Zi naturally knew of his existence.

He had once been Mu En's closest friend, but their relationship later shattered because of Ye Xishui.

It was also because of Mu En's monologue that Xuan Zi realized many of the rumors he had heard about that year were false.

"Xiaoyao bathes in the clear breeze, the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons."

Yan Shaozhe spoke of that pair who had once swept across the continent.

A being able to stand alongside his teacher in fame naturally needed no explanation when it came to strength.

It was simply that, because of what had happened back then, Senior Long Xiaoyao had gone into seclusion and never emerged again.

Within the Body Sect, Du Busi felt somewhat relieved as he watched the person the Heavenly Curtain was about to reveal.

Only someone like this was qualified to appear on the ranking alongside Dragon God Douluo Mu En.

Since the Dragon Emperor Douluo had lived in seclusion for many years and scarcely any information about him had spread, even Du Busi was deeply curious about his life.

"Heavens, are you tormenting us?" Ye Xishui watched the next figure to appear on the rankings after Mu En, and a tremor flashed through her eyes.

Monologue, monologue.

If it was her turn to appear next, then the twisted fate binding the three of them together would ultimately be exposed before the world.

At that moment, Ye Xishui felt an urge to utterly destroy the entire Douluo Continent.

The secrets of that year should not be known by outsiders!!

She had harmed Big Brother Mu and harmed Xiaoyao.

"Is it my turn already?"

Long Xiaoyao, who was still being kept in the dark, did not have thoughts as complicated as Ye Xishui's.

What he thought was that if the truth he had learned back then was revealed in the monologue, would it not inflict psychological harm upon Xishui once again?

After learning back then that he had ruined Ye Xishui's life, in order to atone, he had remained steadfastly by Xishui's side—even though the Holy Spirit Cult was an Evil Soul Master organization and Xishui had fallen into becoming an Evil Soul Master.

Even after slaughtering those innocent lives, he had never regretted it.

[My name is Long Xiaoyao. I am both the Dragon Emperor Douluo, who cultivated to the realm of the Limit Douluo, and the Holy Spirit Cult's Chief Supporter.]

[The first half of my life held the happiest days I had ever known; in the latter half, the only thing I could do was atone.]

Although quite a few people knew of this figure who stood on equal footing with the Dragon God Douluo, Long Xiaoyao had retired many years ago, leaving almost no information behind.

Thus, the information revealed at the beginning of Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao's monologue was nothing less than earth-shattering gossip to them.

What kind of force was this Holy Spirit Cult? Why had they never heard of it?

Why would a being as powerful as the Dragon Emperor Douluo lower himself to become that force's Chief Supporter?

"This damned Heavenly Curtain?!" At the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters, cult leader Zhong Liwu furiously stared at the content displayed on the Heavenly Curtain.

The Holy Spirit Cult had always hidden in the shadows, steadily building its strength, never exposing the power of its Evil Soul Masters to the outside world.

But now, the monologues conjured by the Heavenly Curtain were each more ruthless than the last.

The first had shown a future scene of the Holy Spirit Cult sending some of its people to launch a sneak attack on Shrek.

That had been fine. At the very least, it had not directly exposed them.

Even if other forces wanted to follow the clues, they would have to expend considerable effort, and they still might not actually discover their village.

Even if the people who had appeared on screen were truly discovered, they could simply be abandoned as pawns and made to take the blame.

As long as they acted quickly enough, it would not implicate the entire Holy Spirit Cult.

But this second monologue—well then—it directly revealed the Holy Spirit Cult's Chief Supporter.

Now they were truly finished. Once the Holy Spirit Cult's actual circumstances were exposed by the Heavenly Curtain, the entire continent would undoubtedly rise up and attack them.

Even Xu Tianran, the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire who had cooperated with the Holy Spirit Cult, would sever ties with them at the first opportunity.

So if Zhong Liwu was not furious right now, that would be truly strange.

His furious reaction was like a rat in the gutter suddenly being exposed to the public, leaving it utterly unaccustomed to the light.

"Pass down the order. Members of the branches within the Original Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent are to evacuate immediately and all withdraw into the Sun Moon Empire..." After forcibly calming himself, Zhong Liwu summoned his subordinates and began issuing orders.

The Holy Spirit Cult was now racing against time.

Before the contents of the Heavenly Curtain exposed the Holy Spirit Cult's specific circumstances, they had to recall every member stationed outside.

Only by doing so could they minimize the losses to come.

After giving his orders, Zhong Liwu quickly left the headquarters. He needed to personally make a trip to the Crown Prince Mansion and steady the crown prince.

Compared to Zhong Liwu and the other Evil Soul Masters under his lead, along with those involved in cooperating with them, everyone else was not in such imminent panic.

What concerned the vast majority of them more was the so-called atonement for the rest of one's life mentioned later in the monologue.
