A generation's pride, reduced to a monster that knows only slaughter, trapped within the sunless City of Sin, reigning over hell, unable to find release for decades.
How pathetic, how lamentable.
As the commentary appeared, the Sky Screen flickered and distorted, revealing a grim and terrifying scene.
It was a black city that never saw the light of day, its air thick with suffocating oppression and madness.
Deep within the grand hall, atop a throne constructed from piles of white bones, sat a tall man.
Yet, he no longer possessed the heroic spirit of the former Clear Sky Sect leader.
His skin was a sickly pale, his eyes blood-red, devoid of any whites, filled with violent and destructive desire.
Most horrifying of all, a pair of massive, blood-red bat wings sprouted from his back, and as they gently flapped, a stench of blood washed over the air.
In his hand, he held a cup of viscous "Bloody Mary," draining it in one gulp; the dark red liquid trickling down the corner of his mouth made him look exceptionally hideous.
"Kill! In this world, only slaughter is eternal!"
He roared hoarsely, waving his hand to send a terrifying dark red ripple spreading outward, causing the countless fallen ones below in the hall to tremble and kneel in worship under the pressure.
The image flashed, revealing a lingering shadow from the depths of his memory.
A heroic, black-haired man stood atop a mountain peak, wielding a giant hammer, swearing to the heavens that he would return as a god to marry the woman in blue.
But this beautiful image shattered instantly, completely devoured by that hideous blood-colored bat.
Dead silence.
The entire continent fell into a silence even more terrifying than before.
Clear Sky Sect, a hidden sanctuary.
The teacups in the hands of several elders fell to the ground and shattered.
"Sect... Sect Master?!"
The Second Elder pointed a trembling finger at the Sky Screen, tears streaming down his face:
"Is that the old Sect Master?! How could he have become such a ghost of a creature!!"
They had always believed that Tang Chen had gone to seek the path to godhood, and even if he hadn't succeeded, he should have been wandering the world freely.
Who could have imagined that the "Invincible on Land" they revered as a god had actually turned into a blood-sucking monster parasitized by a bat!
Shrek Academy.
Tang San felt his brain go "buzz" and turn completely blank.
"Great-grandfather..."
Although he had never met him, the heritage of the Clear Sky Sect filled him with reverence for this ancestor who had created the sect's glory.
The monster on the Sky Screen, drinking human blood with wings on its back, was actually the pride of the Clear Sky Sect?
"Rakshasa God..."
Tang San clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms. "It was the Rakshasa God who harmed him!"
Sea God Island, Sea God Hall.
"Clang—"
The scepter, symbolizing the authority of the High Priestess, slipped from her hand for the first time, striking the floor with a crisp sound.
Bo Saixi's beautiful face, which had never shown much emotional fluctuation, was now covered in tears.
She covered her mouth, her delicate body trembling violently as she looked at the hideous monster on the Sky Screen, her heart twisted with agony.
"So... you did not fail me..."
"So this is why you could not return..."
"Tang Chen!!"
A shrill cry echoed throughout Sea God Island, filled with boundless grief.
Martial Soul Hall, Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu looked at the ghost-like appearance of his old rival in the image, and the slight resentment he felt over Bo Saixi being ranked higher than him vanished instantly.
In its place was a sense of bleakness, the sorrow of a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.
"Tang Chen, oh Tang Chen, you and I fought for a lifetime; I never expected you to end up in such a state."
"Rakshasa God..."
Qian Daoliu's eyes turned gloomy as he glanced toward the direction of the Papal Palace. "It seems that is the very godhood that Bibi Dong is inheriting."
Suotuo City, teahouse.
"Is this what they call a 'divine inheritance'?"
Gu Yuena looked at the Sky Screen, a sneer of irony curling the corners of her lips:
"Asura God is also a piece of trash. To let his own successor be reduced to such a state by Rakshasa God without even intervening, allowing that bat to occupy the successor's body."
In her eyes, this was simply a disgrace to the God Realm.
"The God Realm has regulations that deities cannot directly interfere in the lower realms, especially when it involves a contest between two deities. Although Asura God is a God King, he is still bound by the rules."
Gu Yuan explained indifferently, a flash of brilliance then crossing his eyes:
"However, for us, this might be an opportunity."
"An opportunity?"
Gu Yuena looked at him.
"Although Tang Chen has been parasitized, he still possesses the purest Asura God power within him, and... that super divine artifact, the Asura Magic Sword, is right there in Slaughter City."
Gu Yuan tapped his fingers lightly against the table and whispered:
"I possess the Golden Dragon King bloodline, and my physique is peerlessly powerful.
If I could make a trip to Slaughter City, not only could I use that environment to hone myself, but perhaps... I could also scheme for that Asura Sword."
"As for Tang Chen..."
Gu Yuan paused and sighed:
"If there is a chance, I will use Sea God's Light or power with a light attribute to help him awaken a sliver of his consciousness.
Letting him die with dignity as a human powerhouse is better than him being a puppet for his entire life."
"You want to go to that filthy place?"
Gu Yuena frowned slightly, clearly displeased with a place like Slaughter City that was filled with an aura of depravity.
"That is a plan for the future; there is no rush for now."
"It is not urgent yet. What is most important right now is this final top spot."
Gu Yuan set down his teacup, his gaze looking out the window with a deep, distant expression.
At this moment, on the Sky Screen, the scenes regarding Tang Chen that had caused such sighs finally dissipated slowly.
The gloomy and oppressive blood-colored atmosphere was swept away, replaced by an unprecedented, supreme, and magnificent golden light!
The brilliance of this golden light even eclipsed the sun, bathing the entire Douluo Continent in a sacred and majestic aura.
Everyone held their breath.
Yet, in their hearts, they had long expected this.
This first place, wasn't it that Gu Yuan who was exposed at the very beginning?
That Gu Yuan was simply a monster.
One soul, two bodies—is he even human?
[TOP1: Gu Yuan]
The moment this name was seen, the entire continent fell silent for a beat, before erupting into a clamor more intense than any before!
"Gu Yuan? It's that Gu Yuan again?!"
"As I expected, it really is this Gu Yuan!"
Before the crowd's discussions could die down, the detailed panel information that followed struck everyone's crown like a thunderbolt from the nine heavens, shattering their worldviews into pieces.
