An Utter, Unmitigated Villain!!!

"So... Tang San actually had such an origin!"

Shock was written all over Golden Crocodile Douluo's face.

The other worshippers exchanged looks, unable to calm the shock in their hearts for a long time.

Then the final image appeared on the heavenly screen: a figure holding the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus, with a trident-shaped brand between his brows.

The entire Jialing Pass city wall fell into dead silence.

Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted, and genuine astonishment appeared on her beautiful face.

She recognized that face!

Wasn't that...

The greatest enemy of the Spirit Hall Empire, the one who had inherited godhood and brought them unending pressure... Sea God Tang San!

The walls of Jialing Pass were utterly silent.

At that moment, even Bibi Dong seemed to stop breathing.

Behind her, Golden Crocodile Douluo and the other worshipping elders wore expressions that were truly a sight to behold.

First astonishment, then scorn, and now sheer horror.

Their emotions had risen and fallen with the images on the screen, finally settling into deep wariness.

"Reborn through possession... This man isn't even from this world!"

Ghost Leopard Douluo muttered, his voice hoarse.

"He was an ungrateful villain in his previous life. In this one, he's probably even worse!"

Another elder chimed in, his voice full of disgust.

Golden Crocodile Douluo drew a deep breath, solemnity glinting in his cloudy old eyes.

"We must never judge this boy by ordinary standards."

"He possesses bizarre techniques from another world, and his character is so despicable. He is an unprecedented enemy to our Spirit Hall Empire!"

The Titled Douluo all felt their hearts sink at his words.

That was true.

A soul from another world, carrying knowledge and methods that did not belong here, had risen all the way to become a god.

How were they supposed to fight an enemy like that?

A heavy stone seemed to press down on everyone's hearts, making even breathing feel difficult.

Just as this oppressive mood began to spread, a clear, authoritative voice rang out from behind them.

"What are you panicking about?"

Everyone whipped around.

A golden figure had appeared atop the city wall without anyone noticing.

She wore ornate, elaborate golden divine armor that outlined her tall, flawless figure. Her brilliant golden hair streamed in the wind like holy flames.

Divine, noble, untouchable.

It was the Angel God, Qian Renxue!

"Greetings, Angel God!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others hurriedly bowed, their manner deeply respectful.

"Rise."

Qian Renxue spoke coolly. She did not look at them, but instead gazed toward the heavenly screen as it slowly faded.

"It's nothing but the past of a clown being exposed. Why are you so alarmed?"

Her voice was not loud, yet it carried a power that put people at ease.

"I have become a god and am stationed at Jialing Pass. Tang San won't be able to stir up any trouble."

At her words, much of the worshippers' fear dissipated.

That was right!

They still had the Angel God!

Tang San was the Sea God, but Qian Renxue was a god too!

And in the camp behind them, not far away, that mysterious senior was also stationed there.

They did not know that senior's exact strength, but the Angel Holy Sword had willingly submitted to him. His power must be unfathomable.

Moreover... that senior might well be an ancestor of the Qian Clan who had once embarked on the path to the Angel Godhood.

With two pillars like these holding the heavens up, what did they have to fear?

The crowd calmed down and looked toward Qian Renxue again.

She stood quietly at the edge of the wall, gazing far into the sky, seemingly lost in thought.

Beneath her golden divine armor, her long, straight jade legs had graceful lines, radiating astonishing strength and beauty.

Even through the armor, they were enough to set the imagination running wild. The evening breeze swept past, lifting her golden hair and surrounding her with a hazy, sacred glow.

Unbelievable.

Qian Renxue sighed softly inwardly.

She had never imagined that her greatest enemy would have such an origin.

No wonder...

No wonder he could always produce techniques no one had ever heard of. No wonder his mind was so far beyond ordinary people's.

It turned out his soul did not belong to a youth at all.

"Angel God,"

Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped forward and said gravely.

"Tang San is a reincarnated person, and his character is impossible to fathom. His actions in his previous life show that he must be despicable and shameless. We must be exceedingly careful in dealing with him."

Qian Renxue gave a slight nod of agreement.

Another worshipper spoke, his voice tinged with lingering fear:

"And that Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus is terrifying! In the hands of an ordinary person, it can heavily wound a Titled Douluo. It's simply unheard of!"

"Indeed. Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking exposed it. Otherwise, if we'd been caught unprepared, we would have paid dearly!"

Everyone discussed it among themselves, their wariness of Tang San rising to its peak.

In contrast to the tense, solemn atmosphere atop the city wall,

in a quiet courtyard behind Jialing Pass,

a figure sat leisurely beside a stone table, making tea at his own pace.

It was Qian Ye.

He glanced up at the image gradually fading from the sky, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Interesting."

"The first entry on the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking is already this explosive. It certainly lives up to its name."

Qian Ye lifted his teacup and took a small sip. His expression was calm and unruffled, as though he had just watched an entertaining play rather than a shocking secret.

At that moment, the image in the sky vanished completely.

In its place appeared countless shimmering golden characters, flashing past like a waterfall.

[Holy crap! What a bombshell! Sea God Tang San is actually a transmigrator who possessed someone else's body?]

[His sect raised him, and he turned around and stole their highest secret manual. What a rotten character! A total ingrate!]

[Don't talk nonsense. Maybe the Tang Sect treated him badly!]

[Heh, the elders in the scene said, "The sect treated you well." How are you going to spin that?]

[Tang San is an utter, unmitigated villain!]

The Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking had even manifested the discussions of the masses as on-screen comments!

The vast voice rang out once more from the sky.

[No. 10 on the Rare Treasures List: Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus.]

[Owner: Sea God Tang San.]

[The Heavenly Dao reward is about to be issued. Owner, please prepare.]

At those words, the on-screen comments in the sky immediately changed direction.

[What? You get a reward for making the list?]

[A Heavenly Dao reward! It's bound to be a heaven-defying treasure!]

[I wonder what the reward will be. It must be worthy of such a rare treasure of heaven and earth!]

Shrek Camp.

Tang San's face had already grown so dark it looked ready to drip water.

Seeing the comments on the screen calling him a "villain" and an "ingrate," he could barely suppress the killing intent in his heart.

What upset him even more was that the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus, which he had painstakingly recreated, had only ranked tenth!

It was the greatest insult imaginable!
