Meanwhile, the entire Douluo Continent had become interested in the Chu Clan mentioned by the Golden Horned Flood Dragon. Setting everything else aside, Zhao Xiao was already this proud with merely one hundred twenty-eighth of the Chu Clan's bloodline!
In Heaven Dou City of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Beng stared speechlessly at Zhao Xiao on the Light Screen, standing tall with his chest out and his face full of pride. The more he looked, the more awkward it seemed.
"Zhao Xiao is pretty interesting. One hundred twenty-eighth? That bloodline is so diluted it can practically be ignored, right? And he is actually proud of it?"
Prince Xuexing, who controlled nearly half the power of the Heaven Dou Empire, shook his head somewhat disapprovingly.
"This can only mean one thing. The Chu Clan Zhao Xiao mentioned is likely unimaginably powerful, which is why even someone who can command a Golden Horned Flood Dragon takes such pride in it."
"It is like how an ordinary person with even a trace of Heaven Dou's imperial bloodline would still be proud of their heritage."
Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who had hurried over, held the opposite opinion.
"What is so special about having imperial blood? In this world, whoever has the bigger fist has the right to speak. Take the Second Prince and Third Prince—they even possessed pure Heaven Dou imperial blood, yet were they not still harmed?"
"Did the Heaven Dou imperial bloodline protect them in the slightest during all that? In this old man's view, the Heaven Dou imperial bloodline was precisely the reason they were killed!"
"So, in this old man's opinion, bloodlines make no difference at all. Only becoming powerful yourself is true strength!"
Dugu Bo's words instantly plunged the Heaven Dou imperial family into silence. For a moment, none of them knew what to say.
Because Dugu Bo was completely right!
It was not just the Heaven Dou imperial family. The Star Luo Empire was also discussing the matter.
Star Luo Emperor Dai An looked at his most valued son, First Prince Dai Weisi. After a moment of silence, he slowly asked,
"My son, do you think bloodline is more important, or strength?"
"Strength is naturally more important. Before absolute power, even the noblest bloodline is no different from a beggar by the roadside."
Dai Weisi's words made Dai An nod in satisfaction. That was right—he thought so as well. Otherwise, given his abilities, he would not have continued allowing the Star Luo Empire's brutal succession system among princes to play out again upon his own sons!
Just as everyone on the Douluo Continent mocked Zhao Xiao for being proud of his meager one hundred twenty-eighth bloodline and found him laughable, a terrifying power descended!
Through the girl's Emotion Value System livestream, the terrifying pressure Zhao Xiao released, containing a trace of the Extreme Dao Supreme bloodline's power, crossed endless worlds and truly descended upon the Douluo Continent!
Though it was only a trace, it was not like the Golden Horned Flood Dragon's pressure from before, which had merely felt like an image. This was genuine pressure belonging to a Venerable Realm expert!
In an instant, heaven and earth across the entire Douluo Continent changed drastically. Dark clouds blanketed the skies, while endless golden lightning coiled through them like the twilight of the Gods.
The land itself shattered, rivers changed course, and seawater surged inland. In the blink of an eye, the entire Douluo Continent suffered unimaginable devastation. No one knew how many had died or been injured. Even the God Realm shook violently, seemingly on the verge of collapse, leaving every God trembling in terror, utterly unsure of what to do!
And all of this was caused by merely a wisp of pressure that had crossed worlds!
At Shrek Academy, the girl was dumbfounded. Even if she racked her brains, she could never have imagined that Zhao Xiao's pressure could travel through the internet cable all the way to the Douluo Continent?!
What she had not expected even more was that this single wisp of pressure had already left the entire Douluo Continent on the brink of collapse!
"System, what is going on? Get out here, now! Stop playing dead!"
[Coming, coming, Host. This system knows what you want to ask, but this system cannot do anything about it either. The other party is simply too powerful, far beyond what this system can withstand. To prevent the livestream channel that this system painstakingly constructed at great cost from collapsing, this wisp of pressure could only be allowed to travel through the livestream channel to the Douluo Continent.]
Perhaps seeing the girl's expression grow increasingly ugly, the system hurriedly added,
[Host, you do not need to worry too much. Although this wisp of pressure caused considerable damage to the Douluo Continent, it is not enough to destroy the Douluo Continent.]
"Considerable damage? How considerable? Do not tell me you do not know. On my first day here, you told me that you had completely taken control of the Douluo Continent and knew everything that happened here."
[Not that much, I suppose. Only a little over one million people died.]
Holy shit? Over one million people? And that was "not that much"?
At that moment, the girl regretted beyond measure that she had let the system's suggestion cloud her judgment and agreed to construct a passage between the Douluo Continent and the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
Not only had she incurred a debt of 945 trillion, 820 billion Emotion Value points, but more than one million people on the Douluo Continent had died because of her!
I, Luo Qingcheng, am a sinner...
[Host, it is never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. This time, we were insufficiently prepared, allowing the pressure of an expert from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands to descend directly upon the Douluo Continent through the passage. This system now has a way to solidify the passage. Then, even if the pressure is ten thousand times stronger, not a trace of it will be able to pass through!]
"What is the price? What will it cost?"
The girl knew exactly how capable her Emotion Value System was. She did not doubt that it could accomplish what it claimed, but she knew its shameless nature even better.
Not only did it love taking risks for huge gains from small investments, but it would never act without profit!
"As for the price, there is always going to be a tiny little cost. It will take one thousand trillion Emotion Value points to reinforce it."
One thousand trillion?
Adding that to the 945 trillion, 820 billion Emotion Value points she already owed, damn it—she had not even grown much stronger yet, but she already owed the system a full ten thousand trillion Emotion Value points!!!
How could she possibly tolerate this?!
Luo Qingcheng leaped off the bed, pointed at the system, and began cursing furiously.
"You damn scammer system! If it were not for you, the deaths of these millions of people would never have happened! Let me tell you, this is all your responsibility! You have to take responsibility!"
"I will not pay a single Emotion Value point. If you dare deduct even one point from my Emotion Value, I will kill myself immediately!"
Emotion Value System: ...
Here it was again. Choosing Luo Qingcheng as its Host had truly brought it eight hundred lifetimes of misfortune...
Still, to be fair, its Host was not wrong. Although it did not know why the passage it had constructed could not even block pressure, the fact remained that it had failed to stop it. There was little point in arguing about who was right or wrong now. The most urgent matter was reinforcing the passage first.
Unfortunately, its Host was becoming more and more stingy. It was only one thousand trillion, was it not? This system was not saying she could not owe it...
