Tang San's True Colors, The Collapse of Faith

Under the gaze of the masses, the image on the Sky Curtain gradually emerged.

The massive palace complex of the Star Luo Empire appeared on the Sky Curtain once more. The perspective slowly extended, finally coming to a halt before a majestic palace with the words "Heavenly Dao" inscribed on its plaque.

"Swish!"

A towering figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

He was dressed in an imperial robe, his figure tall and straight, black hair flying in the wind. His face was handsome, and his soul-captivating eyes made one dare not look directly at him.

Immediately following him, a faint pressure suddenly descended.

Who else could it be but the master of this Star Luo Empire, the Heavenly Dao Emperor, Gu Tian!

At the same time, another petite figure arrived by his side in an instant.

She was dressed in a blue dress, her long, straight silver hair gathered to the right into a ponytail, and her large, water-blue eyes were bright and spirited.

It was none other than Meng Hongchen.

The man was handsome and dashing, peerlessly domineering, yet elegant and refined.

The woman was as beautiful as a flower, with delicate, exquisite features and a cute, petite appearance.

Standing together, they could be described as a perfect match.

At this moment, the two stood side by side, gazing into the distance like an enviable pair of immortal lovers.

Although, Gu Tian was not exactly monogamous; he was quite the playboy.

But this did not affect the perception of others in the slightest.

Seeing this scene, the grandfather and grandson duo, Jing Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, subconsciously cast their gazes toward Meng Hongchen.

"What are you looking at? That's not me!"

Meng Hongchen's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said with some annoyance.

"Ah Meng, I've discovered something," Xiao Hongchen nodded, acting as if it were a serious matter.

"What is it?" Meng Hongchen looked at Xiao Hongchen with a suspicious expression.

She knew her brother very well; he was never one to say anything pleasant.

"It's that your mouth is harder than anything else."

Xiao Hongchen made a face and, with a keen sense of self-preservation, hid behind Jing Hongchen.

"Xiao... Hong... Chen!"

Meng Hongchen's beautiful eyes flashed with a cold glint, looking like a little rabbit ready to pounce and bite at any moment.

"A-Meng, look, the future you is speaking."

Seeing this, Xiao Hongchen hurriedly pointed at the light curtain in the sky, speaking up to change the subject.

"Xiao Hongchen, I'll trust you one more time. If you're lying to me, you know the consequences."

Meng Hongchen raised her willow-leaf eyebrows and turned to look at the Sky Curtain.

"Brother Tian, I heard that the seal between the God Realm and the Douluo Continent has been lifted."

"According to our initial estimates, that seal should have lasted for at least another few hundred years."

Just then, they saw the girl in blue sigh slightly: "We finally welcomed a long-lost peace with such difficulty!"

"Meng'er, you should know that this kind of peace is fake."

"Ever since Goodness and Evil, the two God Kings who stood on the side of us humans, were imprisoned, the conflict between us and the gods could no longer be reconciled."

"Not to mention, there is still that guy Tang San pulling strings behind the scenes."

"He still hasn't given up on his covetousness for this continent."

The figure in the imperial robe gazed into the horizon, a flash of killing intent crossing his eyes: "One day, I will use his blood to pay tribute to the will of our world that has perished."

At this moment, everyone on the continent stood frozen in place.

The sheer amount of information revealed in these few short sentences was overwhelming, leaving people unable to react in time.

There were gods in the God Realm who stood on the side of humanity, and they were even God Kings.

Just hearing the titles, one knew that their status in the God Realm was likely not low.

It was just that they had been imprisoned.

The world they lived in actually possessed its own will.

And the goal of the Sea God Tang San's ten-thousand-year scheme was to covet this world.

In the future, he even killed the will of this world!

Except for those who had already guessed something, the worldviews of most people were shattered to pieces.

Especially for those like Tang Ya, who held extreme worship for the Sea God Tang San, their faith collapsed instantly at this moment.

That was the Sea God Tang San!

He had defeated the evil Martial Soul Empire and saved the entire continent.

For ten thousand years, legends have painted him as the embodiment of justice.

Many were raised on the stories of Tang San from birth; through constant exposure, they came to view him as their idol.

This was especially true for those Spirit Masters who awakened the Blue Silver Grass. Every one of them longed to defy the heavens and change their fate just as Tang San had, reaching the pinnacle of life.

They even revered his words—that there are no useless spirits, only useless Spirit Masters—as if they were an imperial decree.

Consequently, Master Yu Xiaogang, who had taught the Sea God Tang San, also left his name in history for eternity.

In the end, no one could have imagined that his true face would turn out to be like this.

How could they possibly accept this!

Shrek Academy.

"Sigh..."

Mu En sighed in his heart, his already weathered face seeming to age several more years in an instant.

Even with the mental fortitude of someone who had lived for hundreds of years, Mu En could not help but waver at this moment.

It was the sorrow of seeing one's faith trampled upon!

He, too, had once taken the Sea God Tang San as the goal of his entire life.

If Mu En had still held a shred of hope before, then now, he was in complete and utter despair.

The expressions of the others present were equally grim.

Tang San's actions were even more despicable than the worst-case scenario they had imagined.

This was their homeland!

The land that gave them life and raised them!

Yet, Tang San had selfishly wanted to claim it for himself.

Because of this, he even went on to harm the consciousness of this world in the future.

At this moment, whether human or spirit beast, a sense of sorrow welled up from the bottom of their hearts for no reason.

"Elder Mu... should I take action now?"

Elder Song forced back the sorrow in her heart and asked Mu En.

Long before this, the people of Shrek had anticipated such a situation and had already prepared a strategy to deal with it.

"Do it." Mu En's voice was terrifyingly calm, calm enough to make one's heart run cold.

"Elder Mu, I've been waiting for those words!"

Xuan Zi, sporting his curved bull horns, soared into the air with majestic momentum, resembling a brilliant meteor.

After witnessing Gu Tian's terrifying talent, Xuan Zi had completely sided with him.

Unlike the deep-thinking Mu En, Xuan Zi's reasoning was actually quite simple.

He only knew that Gu Tian could make Shrek great again, while Tang San would only destroy it.

Comparing the two, wasn't the choice easy to make?

God or not, as long as someone dared to tarnish Shrek's reputation, Xuan Zi would never let them off.

Therefore, since returning from the Star Luo Empire, Xuan Zi had praised Gu Tian to the heavens.

He had even proposed actively severing ties with the Sea God Tang San.

He suggested changing the names of the Sea God Pavilion and Sea God Island, and announcing it to the entire continent.

He also wanted to expose all the evil deeds committed by the Sea God Tang San, such as destroying the City of Slaughter and allowing Evil Soul Masters to ravage the continent in later generations.

However, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion had rejected all of it, especially the final point about Tang San destroying the City of Slaughter and unleashing the Evil Soul Masters.

Nonsense, if they exposed such things, what would happen to the reputation Shrek Academy had built on the Douluo Continent over the past ten thousand years!
