[Heavenly Screen Shifts · A New Object of Judgment]
Ning Rongrong's departure was like a resounding slap across the face of everyone at Shrek Academy.
Yet the Heavenly Screen gave them no chance to catch their breath.
As the image distorted, the camera moved away from the unconscious Tang San.
It slowly focused on Dai Mubai, captain of Shrek's Seven Devils!
[Compared Character: Dai Mubai!]
[Original World: A Coward and Playboy Who Abandoned His Fiancée VS Current World: A Carefree, Idle Prince!]
The moment those large words appeared, Dai Mubai, who had still been anxious over Ning Rongrong leaving the team, went deathly pale.
He instinctively glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, only to find her staring fixedly at the Heavenly Screen, her gaze terrifyingly cold.
[Original World · Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament · Finals]
The Left Side of the screen first showed Dai Mubai's finest moment.
On the arena, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger, to utterly crush his elder brother Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun!
"I won! I finally won!"
The Dai Mubai in the image threw back his head and roared, as if venting years of pent-up frustration in one breath.
Yet just when the audience thought this was an inspiring underdog victory, the tone abruptly changed!
The timeline rapidly rewound to several years earlier.
[Suotuo City · Rose Hotel · Brothel District]
In the image, Dai Mubai, who had not yet met Tang San and the others, had an arm around each of a pair of beautiful twin sisters as he led them into the Rose Hotel.
At the time, there was not a trace of a prince's dignity on his face—only the depravity of drunken indulgence and lecherous lust.
"Young Master, you're so naughty~"
"Hahaha, tonight this young master will shower you both with affection!"
The unbearable teasing echoed throughout the entire venue.
Then the image shifted again, showing Dai Mubai bringing Ma Hongjun and Oscar to the Red Light District of Suotuo City to "relax."
The three youths had their arms slung around one another's shoulders, grinning obscenely as they slipped into those pink tents.
[Narration: Faced with the brutality of the struggle for the throne, Dai Mubai of the Original World chose to flee. He left his fiancée Zhu Zhuqing alone to endure the pressure in the Star Luo Empire, while he himself escaped to Suotuo City under the pretense of "training," when in truth, he drowned himself in drink and pleasure, lingering among women until he completely became a coward and playboy who could only run from reality.]
"Wah—!!!"
The entire audience erupted.
Countless contemptuous gazes instantly converged on Dai Mubai of the Current World.
"This is Shrek's captain?
So he was a deserter who only knew how to fool around with women?"
"Disgusting. His fiancée suffered at home while he played with twins outside?"
"Someone like him deserves to be called a monster? I think scum suits him better!"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai on the Heavenly Screen, with a woman in each arm.
Though she had long known about these things, seeing them displayed so nakedly before everyone still—
made the humiliation and revulsion leave her trembling all over.
Dai Mubai slowly turned to look at Dai Mubai beside her, the frost in her eyes seemingly capable of freezing a person solid.
"So this was your so-called... hardship?"
"Zhuqing, listen to my explanation. That was in the past..."
Dai Mubai frantically tried to grab Zhu Zhuqing's hand.
"Don't touch me! You're filthy!"
Zhu Zhuqing stepped back in disgust, avoiding his hand.
Just then, the Heavenly Screen on the right lit up, revealing a completely different life!
[Current World · Star Luo Empire · Imperial Palace Hall]
The right side of the image was grand and imposing.
There was no bloody scene of brothers slaughtering one another, nor was there any miserable flight from home.
Instead, the atmosphere in the Star Luo Empire's court was grave to the extreme.
The Star Luo Emperor sat on the dragon throne, yet fine beads of cold sweat had formed on his forehead.
Because four people stood in the center of the hall.
The man at the forefront was tall, his black hair whipping wildly around him, and his body exuded a terrifying aura that seemed to make heaven and earth tremble.
He was the ancestor of the Clear Sky Sect, the Level 99 Title Douluo, Tang Chen!
Behind him stood Tang Hao, Ah Yin, and the high-spirited youth Tang Shan.
"Star Luo Emperor."
Tang Chen spoke blandly. His voice was not loud, yet it exploded beside everyone's ears like thunder.
"This old man has come today for only one matter."
"The Clear Sky Sect wishes to renew friendly relations with Star Luo.
But this old man has heard that your royal family has the vile custom of brothers slaughtering one another. It truly offends the harmony of heaven."
The Star Luo Emperor swallowed. Under the pressure of a Title Douluo, he did not even have the courage to argue.
"Then... what does Your Excellency propose?"
At that moment, twelve-year-old Tang Shan stepped forward and said with a smile,
"Very simple."
"Establish the eldest, not the youngest. Since Dai Weisi is the eldest son and his talent is passable, make him the Crown Prince."
"As for the second prince, Dai Mubai..."
Tang Shan's gaze swept over the trembling Dai Weisi and the utterly bewildered Dai Mubai standing nearby before he continued,
"Make him a Prince, grant him a fief, and ensure him a lifetime of wealth and honor.
If Dai Weisi dares lay a hand on his younger brother after ascending the throne, he will become an enemy of my Clear Sky Sect and an enemy of my Great-Grandfather!"
Boom!
Tang Chen cooperatively released a trace of pressure from Divine Slaughter's Domain, and the entire imperial hall instantly seemed to plunge into an ice cellar.
"I wouldn't dare! I absolutely wouldn't dare!"
Dai Weisi was so frightened that he dropped to his knees and repeatedly kowtowed.
"If I ascend the throne, I will certainly treat my second brother well. I will harbor no other intentions!"
In the Current World, Tang Shan could not help nodding slightly upon seeing this.
For his plans on the Douluo Continent, ensuring the stable succession of the Star Luo Empire was an important move.
Of course, this was mainly because Tang Chen had taken him on a trip to Star Luo City back then, so he had handled it along the way.
His plan—
was to later destroy Heaven Dou and Star Luo—ah, no, integrate them both together.
When that time came, those who cooperated would be demoted and given a noble title.
Like the White Tiger Duke's Mansion in Douluo Dalu 2.
Those who refused to cooperate would simply disappear on the spot.
After that, he would establish a Douluo Empire centered around the Clear Sky Sect, with Spirit Hall serving as its framework.
They would keep one another in check.
Though there was no guarantee how long it would last, it would at least be better than the Two Great Empires at the end of the original Douluo Dalu 1.
[Ending Changed: Stable Life]
The image shifted.
Without the threat of death, Dai Mubai did not flee the Star Luo Empire.
He lived a leisurely, carefree life in his Prince's Mansion.
Though his talent remained excellent, he no longer needed to cultivate desperately just to survive.
Nor did he need to go to a tiny place like Suotuo City and become a "playboy" to numb himself.
In the image, Dai Mubai of the Current World lounged in a rocking chair under the sun with a book in hand. Though maidservants attended him at his side, that was proper royal etiquette, not the vulgar debauchery of the Original World.
He did not need to leave his homeland, abandon his fiancée, or struggle in the mud.
Because of Tang Shan's forceful intervention and the absolute strength of the Clear Sky Sect, the cruel iron rule of the Star Luo Royal Family had been directly rewritten!
[Two-World Comparison, the Difference Is Clear!]
Left Side:
Dai Mubai fled to Suotuo City like a stray dog, relying on fooling around with women to conceal the fear in his heart.
Although he ultimately won the tournament, that filthy past could never be erased, and a permanent rift would remain between him and Zhu Zhuqing.
