The scene had reached this point when the Heavenly Screen comparing the Black and White Worlds suddenly dimmed.
Lines of golden text rapidly emerged across the screen.
[Black World · Chamber Douluo Qian Xunji's first-stage past Comparison Video has finished playing!] [Take a break!] [Next, the first-stage past of White World · Holy Angel Emperor Qian Xunji will be played.] [Stay tuned!]
White World, Spirit City.
"At last, it's over!"
"I never expected Black World's Qian Xunji and His Holiness the Pope to be as different as heaven and earth. You could say they're not even the same kind of people."
"It feels like he was about to ruin Spirit Hall!"
After the Comparison Video ended, Glowing Feather Douluo felt as though he had finally let out a long breath and could not help complaining.
"Next, it should be Bibi Dong falling for Yu Xiaogang and insisting on being with him, right?"
"That happened in our White World too."
"I wonder what this Qian Xunji will do in the end!"
Beside him, Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment before speaking.
"This Black World's Qian Xunji isn't as clever and decisive as Ji'er. He'll probably capture Bibi Dong, imprison her, and make her see Yu Xiaogang's true face!"
"After all, this Black World's Qian Xunji seems to have been more deeply influenced by the Black World's me."
Although what Qian Xunji had done to Bibi Dong back then had maximized Spirit Hall's interests,
even now, Qian Daoliu had to admit that he did not entirely approve of Qian Xunji's actions from that year.
They simply did not align with his moral values.
Yet upon hearing this, Qian Xunji glanced at Qian Daoliu and felt utterly speechless.
That was right!
That Black World's Qian Xunji had indeed been more influenced by the Black World's you!
But precisely because of that, what he did next directly planted the seed of Spirit Hall's destruction.
Still, Qian Xunji did not intend to say it aloud.
It would be far more shocking if the Heavenly Screen played it all out itself!
As for that Old Man Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji felt that everything about him was good.
His only flaw was that his heart was too soft and his sense of morality too strong!
But the problem was,
people who were too kind, and forces that placed too much weight on morality, often met no good end.
One had to know that to accomplish great things, one needed both the heart of a Bodhisattva and the wrathful gaze of a Vajra!
Elsewhere, in a desolate wilderness,
an elderly woman dressed in black robes slowly walked through the mountains and forests. Her body was hunched, her hair white, yet her face youthful; one could vaguely tell that she had once possessed peerless beauty.
As she watched the Heavenly Screen in the sky, deep-seated hatred, venomous resentment, and regret bloomed in the old woman's eyes.
"Black World's me!"
"I hope you don't let that hypocritical, shameless scoundrel deceive you. Neither he nor the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect has a single good person among them!"
"They are all devils, shameless devils who deserve to go to Hell!"
"I can never return to Spirit Hall in this life, but I will make sure that the bloodline of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is completely cut off!"
After saying this, the elderly woman—or rather, Bibi Dong—clenched her fists and ground her teeth. The resentment and hatred in her eyes nearly surged forth.
Black World, Shrek Academy.
Seeing that the Comparison Video had ended as soon as Qian Xunji learned about his relationship with Bibi Dong,
Yu Xiaogang could not help letting out a long breath inwardly, wearing a bitter smile.
It seemed that his past with Bibi Dong was still destined to be exposed!
But even if exposure was inevitable, the later it happened, the better.
And because the Comparison Video had clearly revealed that the Yu Xiaogang involved in the matter between Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang was Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang,
Ning Rongrong immediately asked curiously.
"Grandmaster, the Yu Xiaogang mentioned in the Comparison Video just now was you, right?"
"Did you used to stay in Spirit City too?"
Tang San, standing nearby, also looked over curiously, hoping for an answer.
In response, Yu Xiaogang let out a long sigh. With his hands clasped behind his back, he spoke with nostalgia and melancholy.
"Back then, in order to find a way to evolve Luo Sanpao, I did leave the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and join Spirit Hall."
"And because of the unparalleled talent I displayed in Spirit City, I attracted Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden."
"That Holy Maiden Bibi Dong fell in love with me and helped me research ways to achieve Martial Soul Evolution."
"Although we ultimately failed, I still developed the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul and the Spirit Ring Absorption Limit Theory."
"But unfortunately, my cultivation and talent were still too poor!"
"Spirit Hall simply did not believe in my Martial Soul theories, nor did it agree to let Bibi Dong and me be together. In the end, Qian Xunji personally stepped in and separated us."
At this point, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists and lowered his head in sorrow.
Thinking that Yu Xiaogang had recalled his painful past and was heartbroken,
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others all spoke up for Yu Xiaogang indignantly.
"Teacher, I know your talent and ability. Spirit Hall will regret this someday!"
"That's right! Grandmaster, don't be sad. It was Spirit Hall—no! It was Qian Xunji who failed to recognize your worth!"
"Grandmaster, we believe in you!"
However, while Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others comforted Yu Xiaogang, Zhu Zhuqing remained as cool and detached as ever. A trace of doubt flashed through her beautiful eyes.
Had Qian Xunji truly looked down on Grandmaster?
In the Comparison Video, Qian Xunji had clearly mentioned Grandmaster's Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul and Spirit Ring Absorption Limit Theory.
One was either common sense or empty platitudes, while the other was a rigid imitation of Spirit Hall's highest-level Spirit Ring absorption data—something that could get people killed.
It was obvious that he had researched and evaluated them. He had not simply said it casually!
Spirit City, Pope Hall.
Our Black World's Comparison Video has ended.
Next, it should be time to play the first stage of White World Holy Angel Emperor Qian Xunji's past.
I wonder what my fate is like in that White World!
Bibi Dong sat upon the throne, holding the Pope Scepter, her feelings complicated.
On one hand, she hoped that the White World's her could be together with her beloved Xiaogang.
That would fulfill her long-held wish.
But on the other hand, she did not want to see the White World's her together with her beloved Xiaogang.
Because if she saw the White World's her living a happy life with her beloved Xiaogang,
she would be jealous!
Several hours passed.
The Heavenly Screen in the skies of the Black and White Worlds suddenly released boundless golden light.
At the same time, lines of golden text emerged from the Heavenly Screen.
[Welcome back!] [White World · Holy Angel Emperor Qian Xunji's first-stage Comparison Video!] [Playback begins now!]
The next moment, the Heavenly Screen above the Black and White Worlds lit up once more.
[Spirit City, inside a palace within Pope Hall.] [Accompanied by a burst of crying, an infant came into the world.] [The current Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu, who was also the infant's father, pondered for a while before naming him Qian Xunji. Ji carried the meaning of auspiciousness; he hoped the child's birth would bring good fortune to Spirit Hall and allow its development to proceed more smoothly.] [However, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was a god-tier Martial Soul of excessively high quality. Giving birth to Qian Xunji had consumed far too much of her life essence and energy.] [Not long after giving birth to him, Qian Xunji's Mother passed away.] [Qian Xunji had been different from other children since childhood. He was exceptionally intelligent; before even turning one, he could walk, actively asked to learn, and quickly mastered the common script of Douluo Continent.] [Afterward, apart from nursing and sleeping, Qian Xunji would take the initiative to read and study every day.] [Through reading, Qian Xunji learned the importance of physical training and began exercising from an early age.] [As the young master of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji also demanded that after his daily training, the finest healing-type support Spirit Masters treat his body.] [He also demanded that his father, Qian Daoliu, arrange for the best food-type Spirit Master capable of creating food suitable for infants, so that he could make Soul Power food for him.] [And so, through diligent study and persistent training every day,] [Qian Xunji discovered a great secret!]
