Reason for Making the List

BOOM!

These eight words were like a thunderclap, exploding across the political landscape of the Star Luo Empire!

Inside the imperial palace, the atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point!

Every minister was so terrified they were struck dumb, not even daring to draw a full breath!

This was a taboo!

A taboo that every high-ranking official in Star Luo knew well, yet none dared to bring up in the open!

The Sky Screen immediately began to play a fast-forward sequence of history.

It recounted a palace coup within the Star Luo Empire thousands of years ago, which ultimately led to a change in the throne and the rise of the Xu Clan.

From then on, the Dai Clan became hereditary "Duke White Tiger" instead.

To have this history exposed publicly by the Sky Screen was truly heart-wrenching!

It was shaking the very foundation of his Xu Clan's imperial rule!

At this moment, as Xu Jiawei looked at the majestic figure of Dai Hao on the Sky Screen, his eyes were already filled with apprehension and murderous intent!

[Douluo I Period]

When he saw the two characters "Dai Hao," Dai Mubai was stunned for a moment.

The surname Dai? Could he be my descendant?

Beside him, Ma Hongjun let out a strange cry.

"Hahaha! Boss Dai, look! It's your descendant!"

But when he saw the phrase "Duke White Tiger" that followed, the expression on his face turned peculiar.

"Wait—a Duke? Isn't he the Emperor?"

Ma Hongjun's brain worked rapidly; he threw an arm around Dai Mubai's shoulder and chuckled wickedly, "Hey, Boss, I told you not to mock my descendants. Look at yours—he's doing even worse than mine!"

"At least my descendant is an academy dean, a local king. Your descendant is something else; he lost his own throne! He went from Emperor to Duke!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, how fickle the world is!"

Ma Hongjun's words were like poison-tipped steel needles, stabbing fiercely into Dai Mubai's heart!

Who was Dai Mubai?

The current Crown Prince of Star Luo!

The future Great Emperor of Star Luo!

In his life, his greatest pride was his noble bloodline and his inherent imperial authority!

But now, the Sky Screen was telling him that ten thousand years later, his Dai Clan's empire was gone!

His descendants had gone from being the supreme rulers to someone else's subjects!

This was harder for him to accept than death itself!

His Evil Eyes instantly ignited with a towering rage!

"You fat bastard! Shut your mouth!"

Dai Mubai shoved Ma Hongjun away, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

He stared fixedly at the four characters "Star Luo Orthodoxy" on the Sky Screen, feeling a sense of unprecedented humiliation and fury rushing to his head!

"Bastards! How could my Dai Clan's descendants be so incompetent! They couldn't even defend their ancestors' legacy!"

Dai Mubai roared in anger, and a terrifying wave of soul power erupted from his body.

And just at this moment, the grand and majestic voice from the Sky Screen suddenly shifted!

It was filled with cold mockery!

[However—]

[This very Duke White Tiger, a man of great merit and the backbone of the empire—]

[In secret, is actually a cold-blooded, ruthless, traitorous, and cunning scoundrel!]

[Reason for ranking!]

[First: Cold-blooded and heartless, he sired children but never raised them!]

Star Luo frontline military camp.

Dai Hao was radiating a murderous aura; the iron-blooded killing intent born from the battlefield made the surrounding air seem to solidify.

"Nonsense!"

He growled in a low voice, his tone containing rage suppressed to the extreme.

However, the soldiers behind him fell into a deathly silence.

They looked at the Dai Hao on the Sky Screen, then at the Dai Hao before them, and for the first time, doubt and hesitation appeared in their eyes.

Shrek Academy.

Dai Huabin's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and he roared at the top of his lungs, "Impossible! My brother and I are both perfectly fine at the Duke White Tiger Mansion; how could my father have abandoned his own flesh and blood! This is slander! This is blatant, barefaced slander!"

His hysterical appearance caused the surrounding students to cast strange looks his way.

Just as the crowd was filled with doubt, text continued to emerge upon the Sky Screen.

[Second: Hypocritical and deceitful, deceiving the hearts of the army!]

[Third: Colluding with the enemy and betraying the country, forgetting one's ancestors and roots!]

BOOM!!!

If the first charge had only caused a crack in the perfect image of Dai Hao.

Then these two charges that followed in quick succession, especially the final eight earth-shattering words, were like a nuclear bomb detonating in everyone's minds!

Colluding with the enemy and betraying the country!

Deliberately plotting rebellion!

At this moment, the entire Douluo Continent fell completely silent!

Inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Emperor Xu Jiawei stood up from his throne with a sudden "whoosh," his face filled with unprecedented gravity and icy killing intent!

He stared fixedly at the four words "deliberately plotting rebellion," feeling a chill shoot from the soles of his feet straight to his crown!

As expected!

It was just as he thought!

He had long suspected that Dai Hao was using his military power to act arrogantly and harbored ulterior motives!

Today, the Sky Screen had confirmed it all for him!

"Guards!"

Xu Jiawei's voice was as cold as the ice of the Nine Netherworlds.

"Transmit my secret order: mobilize the Imperial Guard and monitor everyone associated with the Duke White Tiger Mansion! Anyone who shows the slightest sign of unusual movement is to be executed without mercy!"

Meanwhile, the images on the Sky Screen ignored the stormy waves of the world.

Instead, it began the judgment of the first reason in a slow and unhurried manner.

[Next, we begin to elaborate on the first point.]

[Cold-blooded and heartless, abandoning wife and son!]

Golden light flowed once more, and the image came into focus.

[Regarding personal morality, this man, like the ninth-ranked hypocrite Yan Shaozhe, is a lecherous and promiscuous individual.]

[From noble daughters to maids in the mansion, all are targets for his pursuit.]

The scene unfolded.

In the magnificent and opulent Duke White Tiger Mansion, the air was filled with the scent of perfume and the rustle of fine clothing.

Dai Hao moved among various noblewomen and socialites, chatting and laughing, fully displaying the charm of a mature man.

In the blink of an eye, he was in a secluded corner, pulling a shy-looking maid into his arms and teasing her to the extreme.

Scene after scene, how similar it was to the previous display of Yan Shaozhe.

However, the cold narration on the Sky Screen followed immediately, revealing the greatest difference between him and Yan Shaozhe.

[Yet, Yan Shaozhe still understood the affection for his kin; his actions, though selfish and twisted, were always centered around his granddaughter.]

[But Dai Hao views women as playthings and his children as mere blades of grass.]

[His heart is so cold, and his actions so bloodthirsty, that they far exceed those of Yan Shaozhe!]

[To him, women are nothing more than playthings for venting desire, and bloodlines are merely tools for inheritance. In his eyes, there is only power and hegemony, with not a shred of human warmth remaining!]

As the words fell, the image froze on a certain woman.

She was a maid in a plain white dress; her appearance was not stunning, but she possessed a gentleness and tranquility reminiscent of the water towns of the south.

She was tidying up the study for Dai Hao, her movements soft, her eyes filled with a trace of the longing and adoration belonging to a young girl.

The Sky Screen revealed her identity.

[Huo Yun'er, maid of the Duke White Tiger Mansion.]

The moment he saw this maid, Huo Yuhao began to tremble uncontrollably.
