After watching Tang San's past experiences played on the Comparison Sky Screen.

Everyone in both the White World and the Black World fell silent for a moment.

This Tang San... was rather hard to judge!

After hearing Sect Master Tang Da's words and the Second Elder's thoughts.

Everyone had formed their own opinion of Tang San.

Some believed that since Sect Master Tang Da had already defined Tang San as a Tang Sect genius—despite secretly learning the Tang Sect's supreme techniques, he had never leaked them, and even though he possessed powerful weapons, he had never used them.

Instead, he had ultimately proven his resolve through death.

As the saying went: the dead were honored above all!

Tang San could not be considered all that bad. He was merely a talented and capable genius who had not received the proper education and had taken one wrong step.

But others saw Tang San as an ungrateful, selfish, hypocritical scoundrel!

As an orphan, you had been taken in by the Tang Sect and raised to adulthood.

With such a life-saving and nurturing debt, even if you were a genius who had not received the proper education, did you really have no proper way to try becoming an Inner Sect Disciple?

Did you have to steal the Tang Sect's supreme techniques yourself?

Wasn't that simply the act of a selfish, insatiable thief?

And when Sect Master Tang Da led a group of elders in pursuit of you.

Tang San could clearly have surrendered directly and used those three inferior versions of the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus to prove himself.

Yet Tang San had chosen to flee first. Only after being forced into a desperate situation had he put on a false show of sincerity, said those words, thrown down the three inferior Buddha Fury Tang Lotuses, and leaped off the cliff to his death.

No one was a fool. Everyone could guess what you had really been thinking.

Black World.

Shrek Academy.

After watching Tang San's past scenes played on the Sky Screen.

Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and the others could not help glancing at Tang San, a trace of something strange flashing through their eyes.

Among them, Xiao Wu felt especially conflicted.

She had never expected that Tang San, whom she had known for more than six years, was not as respectful to his teachers or filial to his parents as she had believed, and that he had such an ungrateful and selfish past.

But soon, Xiao Wu shook her head fiercely and tried hard to convince herself.

Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu!

You mustn't be deceived by this so-called Comparison Sky Screen.

The Tang San shown here might not even be Third Brother!

You have to trust what you have seen and heard yourself!

As for Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong, they quietly moved a tiny distance away from Tang San, worried that he might steal their things too.

Of course, they did not dare to move too far away, lest he notice.

After all, they were still classmates. They still had to maintain at least a basic relationship.

As for Yu Xiaogang, his stiff face had become rather unsightly.

How could the disciple he had taken have such poor character in the past?

If he trained Tang San into a powerful expert and proved his status as a grandmaster of martial soul theory, would his own reputation as a grandmaster of martial soul theory be affected as well?

But when he thought of what he had done in Spirit City in the past, Yu Xiaogang could not help feeling a little guilty.

It seems I have no right to look down on Xiao San either.

After all, he had done something similar before...

Forget it! Forget it!

He would just turn a blind eye.

Xiao San had had his own hardships in the past.

He had had his own hardships too.

Neither of them had had it easy!

After the Second Elder of the Tang Sect's thoughts finished playing on the Sky Screen.

The video suddenly darkened.

[Part One · The Past of Tang San, the Sea God and Asura God, Has Finished Playing.] [Take a Short Break.] [Next, the Past of Tang Chuan, the God of Life and God of Destruction of the White World, Will Be Played.] [Stay Tuned!]

White World.

"It's finally over."

"I never expected that the prince from the other world... No, Tang San, could actually be so ungrateful, selfish, hypocritical, and shameless. Comparing him with the prince simply sullied the prince's identity!"

Within the Blue Silver Forest.

Seeing the past of Tang San, the Sea God and Asura God of the Black World, finally finish playing, the Blue Silver King spoke indignantly.

However, Ah Yin's mood was somewhat complicated.

Since Tang San from the other world possessed what seemed to be a past in another world.

Could her son, Tang Chuan, be the same?

Then...

A frightening thought rose in her heart.

Could such a son still be her son?

When Tang Chuan saw the Comparison Video on the Sky Screen play Tang San's past in the Tang Sect, he could not help feeling dazed and hesitant.

Next, they should play my past, right?

If so, won't my identity be exposed?

Will Mother think that I'm an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon who has occupied the body of her original son?

After thinking for a long time.

Tang Chuan took a deep breath and decided to confess everything to his mother, Ah Yin, beside him.

"Mother, there's something very important I need to tell you."

"Xiao Chuan, what is it? Go ahead."

Through their mental connection.

Ah Yin forcibly calmed herself and said with a smile in her gentle voice.

"Mother, actually... actually, I can't be considered your true biological son!"

Tang Chuan mustered his courage and told her everything he knew.

"Like Tang San of the Black World, I was also born and raised in another world."

"In that other world, I was an orphan too. I grew up in an orphanage, and in an accident, I was crushed to death by a steel coil while trying to save several children."

"Then, when I woke up, I discovered that I had been reborn as your child."

"But I don't know whether I was reincarnated—in other words, whether I directly became your child after crossing into this world."

"Or whether your original child had died in the aftermath of a battle while being pursued by the Spirit Hall, and I had occupied this body."

"But no matter what, during all these years together, I have cultivated under your guidance and enjoyed your care and love. In my heart, you are my mother!"

As he spoke, Tang Chuan knelt directly on the ground, his eyes reddening and his voice choking with emotion.

"Xiao Chuan!"

Faced with Tang Chuan's confession, Ah Yin was deeply moved, nearly brought to tears.

People's hearts were made of flesh, after all!

Recalling the countless moments she had shared with Tang Chuan, especially his respect and filial affection toward her.

How could Ah Yin possibly remain completely unmoved?

No matter what Xiao Chuan had been like in the past.

In her heart, he was her child!

"No matter what, you are still my child!"

After waiting several hours.

At last, images appeared once more in the Comparison Video on the Sky Screen.

[Above the boundless blue sky, white clouds drifted lazily. A giant bird with a pair of broad, triangular wings, its entire body seemingly forged from steel, streaked across the sky amid a thunderous roar.] [Immediately afterward, the viewpoint rapidly descended. A towering modern metropolis, seemingly built from reinforced concrete, appeared before everyone's eyes.] [In the city, the glass facades of skyscrapers reflected the sunlight. One steel box after another, each with four black wheels, raced along the flat concrete roads, while streams of people surged across the ground like ants.]

What was this place!

When they saw the modern society in the live footage, with its social structure and architecture so different from those of Douluo Continent, the humans and intelligent Soul Beasts of both the Black World and the White World were all profoundly shocked.
