"Was this... the foundation of a true powerhouse?"

Tang San watched Tang Shan eat Dragon Tooth Rice and listen to a Demigod lecture. The last trace of unwillingness in his heart turned into profound helplessness.

He had thought that hard work and the Mysterious Heaven Skill could bridge the gap.

But now, it seemed that some gaps could not be filled even with one's life.

"Teacher..."

Tang San turned to Yu Xiaogang, his voice hoarse.

"Do we... really still have any hope?"

Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, only to realize that he could not even say a single comforting word.

Hope?

Before such god-tier resources, speaking of hope was simply a luxury.

Yet the Heavenly Screen seemed to think that this was not exciting enough.

Just when everyone thought the comparison had ended, the image flickered once more.

[Comparison Continues!] [Event Eight: Confidantes and Romance!] [Original World: Xiao Wu's Sacrifice, Life and Death Apart VS Current World:...] [Original World · Star Dou Great Forest · A Tragic Moment]

The image on the left side of the Heavenly Screen instantly became dark and oppressive, while the background music shifted to a mournful, sorrowful melody.

Tang San was covered in blood, the Eight Spider Lances behind him shattered. He was already at the end of his rope.

Before him stood Spirit Hall's despair-inducing pursuit force.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, two Titled Douluo, stood guard, while the Golden Generation watched like tigers eyeing their prey.

To protect Tang San, the lively and adorable girl in pink, Xiao Wu, who always called him "Third Brother," made the most resolute choice.

[Sacrifice!]

A piercing crimson light shot into the sky. Xiao Wu's body gradually turned transparent, transforming into the purest energy and pouring into Tang San's body.

"Third Brother... you must live well..."

The girl's final whisper was like a cuckoo crying blood, moving countless viewers to tears.

Tang San fell to his knees and howled at the sky. His despairing cries seemed capable of tearing souls apart.

In the end, Xiao Wu lost her physical body, becoming a Soft Bone Rabbit and losing her consciousness.

This was a complete tragedy—the helplessness and misery of the weak when facing overwhelming power.

[Real World Audience Seats]

Seeing this scene, Xiao Wu, who had been seated with the Shrek Team, instantly went pale, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Xiao Wu instinctively grabbed Tang San's hand, her eyes full of terror.

"Third Brother... is that... our future?"

Tang San felt as though his heart were being twisted by knives. His eyes turned bloodshot as he stared fixedly toward Spirit Hall, murderous intent boiling in his gaze.

"Spirit Hall!

Bibi Dong!

I, Tang San, swear that I will grind you all to dust!"

Bibi Dong: ??? I haven't even done anything yet!

However, just as Tang San was immersed in grief and indignation, ready to swear a bloody oath of revenge—

The Heavenly Screen on the right side abruptly changed styles!

There was no bloodshed, no pursuit, no separation by life and death.

There were only flower petals filling the sky and a warm atmosphere so sweet that even the air seemed scented with sugar.

[Current World · Heaven Dou Imperial Palace · Xue Qinghe's Bedchamber]

Within the magnificent Crown Prince's bedchamber—

A "young man" dressed in golden Crown Prince robes sat by the window, reviewing memorials.

At that moment, a streak of light flashed outside the window, and Tang Shan's figure appeared out of thin air.

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly hugged His Highness the Crown Prince from behind.

"Xue'er, still busy?"

Tang Shan's voice was so gentle it seemed as though water could drip from it.

His Highness the Crown Prince's body stiffened slightly before relaxing. She turned around, and the plain face that had belonged to "Xue Qinghe" transformed amid flickering golden light into an incomparably beautiful, flawless face that could topple kingdoms!

Her golden hair cascaded like a waterfall, while Tang Shan's reflection rested in her violet eyes. Noble and holy, she seemed like an angel descended upon the mortal world.

[Qian Renxue! Spirit Hall's Young Master! Six-Winged Angel!]

"Brother Shan, you're here."

Qian Renxue set down her vermilion brush and naturally nestled into Tang Shan's arms, her face overflowing with a blissful smile.

Where was the majesty and coldness she usually feigned?

[Childhood Sweethearts! Innocent Love!]

The scene began rapidly replaying the moments the two had spent together.

When they were six, Tang Hao had brought Tang Shan to Spirit Hall as a "guest" (in truth, he had gone there to wreck the place and show off his strength).

The young Tang Shan met the equally young Qian Renxue, who was aloof, proud, and solitary by nature.

The two should have been enemies, yet Tang Shan's maturity and charm far beyond his years, along with his equally heaven-defying talent, somehow miraculously made them fall for one another!

Rather than becoming enemies with Spirit Hall like in the Original World, Tang Shan had used his status as the Clear Sky Sect's God Son to forcefully intervene in Spirit Hall's internal power struggle.

He helped Qian Renxue resolve the knot in her heart regarding Bibi Dong. He had even mobilized the Clear Sky Sect's power to secretly support Qian Renxue's Nation-Stealing Plan—though it eventually turned into a peaceful transition of power.

In the scene:

The two sparred beneath the moon, Angel's Sacred Sword and Clear Sky Hammer colliding in dazzling bursts of sparks.

They traveled the continent together, watching the aurora in the Far North and sunrise on Sea God Island.

And even...

The image froze on the most recent occasion.

Before the Pope's Chair in Pope's Palace, which symbolized supreme authority—

Bibi Dong looked down at the hand-holding pair below with a complicated expression.

Tang Shan knelt on one knee, holding up a ring crafted from Deep Sea Deep Silver Mother and set with a Nine Heavens Star Stone as he proposed to Qian Renxue!

"Xue'er, marry me. Become the Young Mistress of the Clear Sky Sect, the future God Queen. Will you?"

Qian Renxue was already in tears. She nodded forcefully and threw herself into Tang Shan's arms.

And among those witnessing the ceremony were not only Tang Hao and Ah Yin, but even Qian Daoliu, a Limit Douluo!

Qian Daoliu stroked his beard, grinning from ear to ear.

"Good! Good! Good!

The Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall are joined by marriage. Who in this world can stop us now?!"

"Clang!"

This time, it was not someone's heart breaking. Yan's teacup fell directly to the ground on the Spirit Hall Team's side, shattering into pieces.

He stared dumbfounded at the goddess on the Heavenly Screen, nestled in Tang Shan's arms with a sweet smile on her face. He felt his entire worldview collapse.

"Y-Young Master? That's the Young Master?!"

"The Young Master is actually... actually a woman?! And she's... she's so beautiful?!"

"More importantly... she's actually together with someone from the Clear Sky Sect?!"
