The question appeared, and the entire hall was astonished. It didn't matter whether they were the contestants on the arena or the powerful figures from the various factions.
None of them were fools. Even from this brief introduction, they could sense a certain emotion.
It seemed this Tang Chen's future didn't turn out well. Could it be that he met a tragic end?
On the arena.
Ma Hongjun was the first to complain. "Even with my IQ, I can tell Tang Chen's ending is going to be tragic!"
"But I didn't expect it to be another relationship problem!"
"At this rate, shouldn't we rename Douluo Continent Love Continent?"
"One after another, it's all relationship problems, all 'you love me, I love you,' sweet as honey~"
"Fatty, what's 'sweet as honey'?" Oscar asked.
Ma Hongjun scratched his head in confusion and muttered to himself:
"I don't know. I just said, 'You love me, I love you'... and then I couldn't help singing."
"Hey, that's not important. What matters is, don't you think there are way too many romances on Douluo Continent?"
Dai Mubai nodded. "Definitely. Out of the seven of us, there are three couples."
"Gangzi and Teacher Er Long have relationship problems, and I heard Pope Bibi Dong has them too."
"Good grief. Even Tang Chen, the strongest Soul Master in the world, is trapped by relationship problems."
"Tsk, tsk. Something's definitely wrong!"
Ma Hongjun shook his head too. "Nobody else noticed. It takes a single guy like me to see it."
"But I wonder what the answer to this question is. Relationship problems, and the final outcome."
"Could Tang Chen end up dying for love?"
He tossed out a guess, and the others started speculating too. Relationship problems were the only clue.
The Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu was equally taken aback when he saw the question.
"This... This question is asking directly about Tang Chen's eventual fate?"
"Does something happen to Tang Chen? Or does he die a horrible death?"
Beside him, the Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo, asked, "Big Brother, this Light Screen says Tang Chen is also trapped by love."
"His fate should be related to that. Do you know what this relationship problem is?"
"This..." Qian Daoliu was reminded of what had happened back then.
He really didn't want to say more, so he waved his hand. "I don't want to talk about what happened back then."
"Don't worry. I don't know the answer either. Let's just make wild guesses and wait for the Light Screen to reveal it."
"All right." Golden Crocodile Douluo realized Tang Chen's relationship problem seemed to involve his big brother too, and knew better than to press him.
Sea God Island.
At that moment, Bo Saixi was more focused on this question than anyone.
When she saw the Light Screen suggest that Tang Chen's fate would turn out badly because of his feelings, Bo Saixi felt increasingly distressed.
"What does this Light Screen mean? Is it saying Tang Chen's future fate is affected by me?"
"Could it even be that his feelings for me will bring him misfortune?!"
"H-how could that be?"
"No. I have to see how I could possibly harm Tang Chen!"
Bo Saixi's feelings for Tang Chen were beyond doubt, but she would never believe she could harm him.
Unless the answer made it clear, she was determined to see this through.
Besides her, Tang San, Tang Hao, and the people of the Clear Sky Sect were all affected by the question too.
They were close to Tang Chen. How could they not care about the fate of their ancestor?
The Clear Sky Sect especially wanted to find out where their ancestor was!
Slaughter City.
The King of Slaughter sat high on his throne, his aura running rampant as he clenched his fists.
He was becoming more and more certain that Tang Chen was his sworn enemy. Otherwise, why did thinking about him make his head hurt more and more?
"Tang Chen, Tang Chen! You must have fought me in the past. It's a shame I can't remember you for some reason!"
"Since this Light Screen seems to suggest your ending is bad, then you must have been killed by me!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Anyone who becomes an enemy of the King of Slaughter is doomed to die!"
"I have to see how you end up dying at my hands!"
Confident in his own strength, the King of Slaughter was convinced Tang Chen would eventually die by his hand.
As for relationship problems, he didn't understand those.
After the King of Slaughter submitted his answer, the other contestants gradually entered theirs as well.
Full of anticipation, the King of Slaughter waited to see whether Tang Chen's fate really was as bad as he'd guessed.
But he never expected...
Inside the Light Screen.
The moment the answer appeared, he froze on the spot!
[Correct answer: Achieved a Divine Soul and became immortal!]
[Winner: Song Ye!]
[Reward: First Soul Ring, lifespan increased by 300 years!]
[Tang Chen was the strongest Soul Master of his era! Back then, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu had become friends through a fight. Together, they went to Sea God Island, where they met Bo Saixi, an Elder of Sea God Island!]
[The two fought Bo Saixi and lost to the amplification of the sea's power, but in the process, they both fell in love with her!]
[The three became friends, got to know each other, and spent their days together! Bo Saixi gradually fell for the outstanding Tang Chen, and the two fell in love with each other!]
[Unfortunately, when Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu confessed to her together, Bo Saixi politely told them that she would only marry someone who could become a god, hoping to make Qian Daoliu give up!]
[As Qian Daoliu served the Angel God, he could never become a god himself. This was also a hint that she would choose Tang Chen!]
[Qian Daoliu left dejectedly, but Tang Chen was stubborn and thought he had to become a god to be with Bo Saixi. He decided to seek out a Godhood Inheritance!]
[Tang Chen came to Slaughter City and began the Asura God's trials. At the critical moment, the Rakshasa God interfered. Before he could become a god, Tang Chen was parasitized by the Nine-Headed Bat King and lost his memory...]
[From then on, Tang Chen became the King of Slaughter in Slaughter City. He was no longer himself!]
[Many years later, Tang Chen regained his reason through Sea God's Light and used outside help to get rid of the Nine-Headed Bat King. But after being parasitized for so many years, his body could no longer survive!]
[Fortunately, the Sea God helped Tang Chen travel to the world after death, where he achieved a Divine Soul and lived forever!]
This answer was more unexpected than anyone could have imagined. The contestants stared at it, stunned.
They hadn't expected Tang Chen to have come so close to becoming a god, only for such an accident to happen.
Many powerful figures who had heard of the King of Slaughter and Slaughter City were especially shocked.
No one had imagined that the current King of Slaughter was actually the strongest Soul Master of the past, Tang Chen!
The King of Slaughter himself was completely dumbfounded when he saw this!
Slaughter City.
After reading the answer, the King of Slaughter had still been wondering whether he would kill Tang Chen in the future.
Who could have expected the explanation on the Light Screen to be like this?
The King of Slaughter roared in disbelief:
"What?"
"I'm Tang Chen?!"
"I was thinking about killing him, but... I'd be killing myself?!"
