He had actually begun thinking along these lines before Liu Yuan transmigrated to the Douluo Continent.

It was true that Douluo I had ended with Tang San and Yu Xiaogang victorious.

But who could say with absolute certainty that the victors had been on the side of justice?

At this point, Liu Yuan wanted to list some of Bibi Dong's achievements.

Bibi Dong's achievements could be divided into three main parts.

The first was her support for all Soul Masters in the Heaven Dou Empire.

As everyone knew, in the Heaven Dou Empire, once Soul Masters had completed their registration with Spirit Hall, they could receive rewards from Spirit Hall every month at no cost, based on their Soul Power and proof of their qualifications.

These were tangible rewards, and such support was available only in the Heaven Dou Empire. The Star Luo Empire had nothing of the sort.

Why not?

Because the Star Luo Empire had no organization like Spirit Hall, much less a Spirit Hall Pope as wise and farsighted as Bibi Dong. So Soul Masters there received no such support.

To be honest, this support was very important.

The gold coins might not have amounted to much, but for Soul Masters from poor families, this assistance eased a great deal of the financial pressure they faced before they had the chance to grow stronger.

Once they had grown stronger, the support they received would increase. And even without that, they themselves would have become more capable and able to support themselves.

So Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall as a whole had helped all the Soul Masters in the Heaven Dou Empire immensely.

But the most ironic part was this.

Many Soul Masters who had benefited from Spirit Hall not only failed to show gratitude but repaid kindness with betrayal.

People like Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, who were always calling for Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall to be killed, and even personally helped destroy Spirit Hall in the end.

Every one of them had received Spirit Hall's subsidies.

And what happened in the end?

They simply chose to forget. They drank the water but forgot who had dug the well. They were truly ungrateful, treacherous scoundrels!

Bibi Dong's second and third achievements involved protecting the borders and the various cities.

First, Bibi Dong had vigorously promoted and built branch halls of Spirit Hall in cities across the empire, stationing large forces of Soul Masters at each one.

Why had she done this? Partly to expand Spirit Hall, but more importantly, to fight the Evil Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent.

Everyone knew that Evil Soul Masters had always existed on the Douluo Continent.

Yet across the whole of history—in Douluo II, Douluo III, and even in the distant future—their numbers had been enormous, no matter the era.

So why had Evil Soul Masters appeared so rarely during the time of Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall?

That was naturally thanks to the constant efforts of Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall!

Bibi Dong had repeatedly sent people to hunt down Evil Soul Masters, while also stationing large forces in cities throughout the empire.

Most of the time, an Evil Soul Master was eliminated by the Soul Masters at one of Spirit Hall's branch halls as soon as they appeared. How could they possibly get the chance to prey on the common people?

But if Spirit Hall withdrew those forces,

then the common people would suffer.

Any one Evil Soul Master had the ability to slaughter hundreds or even thousands of ordinary people. And Evil Soul Masters were extremely vicious; they were absolutely capable of such atrocities.

It was easy to imagine how rampant the Evil Soul Masters of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the entire Douluo Continent, would have become if Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall hadn't worked so hard over the years.

The same went for the management of Soul Beasts.

Bibi Dong had stationed large forces to keep the Soul Beasts under control.

Take the Soul Hunting Forests in various regions, for example.

These places teemed with Soul Beasts and were extremely dangerous.

Yet Spirit Hall's people were still the ones guarding them. Without the large forces Bibi Dong stationed there, any outbreak of Soul Beasts could send them into towns and villages. The danger they posed to ordinary people would be no less than that of Evil Soul Masters.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family wouldn't take charge of these matters, nor did they want to. They knew only how to indulge themselves. This was also the main reason Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue later wanted to seize the Heaven Dou Empire.

They worked themselves to the bone for the common people, yet received no benefit. The Heaven Dou Imperial Family simply reaped the rewards without lifting a finger, while constantly worrying that Spirit Hall was growing too powerful. What was the point of keeping such a royal family around?

So Liu Yuan believed that Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall had done nothing wrong in the first place.

Although Bibi Dong had been defeated at the Battle of Jialing Pass and Spirit Hall had fallen,

their contributions would never disappear.

And what of the Heaven Dou Empire, which had brought down Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong?

Hadn't it fallen apart years later, too?

As for Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the others,

compared with Bibi Dong, they were utterly shameful.

Not only had they contributed nothing to the Douluo Continent or the Heaven Dou Empire,

they had actually harmed the entire continent!

Shrek Academy was a thug's academy that kept growing bigger, still clinging to its rule that "those who don't cause trouble are useless," bullying the weak while fearing the strong.

The so-called Ten Core Competencies of Spirit Masters, which Yu Xiaogang had supposedly compiled, were almost all proven wrong by Tang San.

And Tang San himself was even more outrageous. He destroyed the Capital of Slaughter and released countless Evil Soul Masters, leaving the Douluo Continent in chaos in the years that followed.

Compared with Bibi Dong, those people were nothing but pests.

Not one thing they did had benefited the Heaven Dou Empire or the Douluo Continent.

Yet in the end, those very pests became heroes in the eyes of everyone who came after them.

People built statues in their honor and offered them incense in worship.

And what about Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall?

Those who had truly worked for the good of the Heaven Dou Empire became failures and villains in the eyes of posterity.

That filled Liu Yuan with indignation.

In the past, before he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent,

he hadn't experienced its cruelty, the coldness of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, or Bibi Dong's warmth.

But now, he had experienced it all.

Having been through all of this, he felt not only fury toward Tang San and Yu Xiaogang,

but also pity for Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall.

"If the history we started with was wrong,"

"then I'll be the one to change it."

"This time, Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, I won't let you have the last laugh."

On the street, after eating some dry rations and drinking some water, Liu Yuan spoke silently to himself.

His gaze turned resolute as he looked into the distance at the black pillar of light at the Death God Inheritance Site.

Then he set off once more!
