Douluo Era.
Consecrated Hall.
Qian Daoliu stared at the final words spoken by the Angel God, his entire being surging with excitement.
He nearly forgot about the injuries still plaguing his body.
Qian Daoliu murmured to himself, "If this truly allows me to reach the Douluo Era 2, I could genuinely become a god by slaughtering evil soul masters."
"My ancestor achieved godhood as the first Angel God precisely by suppressing the degenerates across the entire continent and unifying the faith."
"If I were to follow her example, there is real potential here!"
"I just wonder, when the time comes, which of the two Angel Gods will have to change their name..."
As he spoke, Qian Daoliu naturally drifted into his own fantasies.
Who wouldn't want to become a god? Who wouldn't want to be immortal?
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others standing nearby were also deep in thought, finding this prospect quite promising.
Golden Crocodile Douluo mused, "If Big Brother can truly become a god in the future, perhaps he could even take us to the God Realm."
"I just don't know how one would reach the Douluo Era 2, or how to find a way to live for ten thousand years..."
The remaining Consecrated elders joined in, whispering their own fantasies.
Douluo Era 2.
Within the Holy Spirit Cult.
Long Xiaoyao had sought out Ye Xishui and was currently in her private palace.
Long Xiaoyao's expression was incredibly grave as he stared at Ye Xishui.
He paid no mind to what the rest of the comment section was saying about the Angel God or the suppression of evil soul masters.
He only wanted to know the truth!
The Light Screen had now explicitly stated that Ye Xishui was the perpetrator in the relationship between the three of them.
Long Xiaoyao was on the verge of a breakdown and hurriedly questioned her:
"Xishui, the Light Screen has made it perfectly clear!"
"At this point, do you still intend to hide it?"
"What exactly happened between Mu En, you, and me back then?"
"Why does this Light Screen say that the two of us were being toyed with by you!"
"I have lived with guilt for decades, even a century—don't tell me this is all a lie!!"
Ye Xishui looked at Long Xiaoyao with a sense of helplessness.
She knew better than anyone that the things she had done in the past could no longer be hidden.
For all these years, Ye Xishui had lived in hesitation and pain.
This did not mean she felt a great deal of remorse; she was simply afraid that if the truth came to light, she would be unable to face Long Xiaoyao and Mu En.
That was why, in the original story, Ye Xishui only revealed the truth right before her death.
But now, the Light Screen was ruthless, and the truth would be exposed sooner or later.
With the man she loved most, Long Xiaoyao, standing before her demanding answers, she could no longer conceal it.
Perhaps this was the judgment she deserved.
Facing Long Xiaoyao's questions, Ye Xishui could not bring herself to answer.
"Xiaoyao, don't ask anymore... You will know; the Light Screen will tell you."
"I know that nothing I say can change the past."
"When the moment of truth arrives, you may abandon me, but I have long been prepared for that."
"You only need to know that I never intended to harm you; I never once thought of hurting you!"
"Never thought of hurting me?"
Long Xiaoyao remained furrowed in his brow: "Xishui, what exactly happened back then!!"
And as fate would have it, just as Long Xiaoyao was pressing for answers, the Light Screen officially began to reveal the things Ye Xishui had done.
In the Light Screen.
[All of this must begin with Ye Xishui's true objective from the very start.]
[Back then, this woman was a spy sent out by the Holy Spirit Cult, specifically tasked with participating in the Continental Soul Master Tournament to scout out young talents.]
[Good heavens, an evil cult conducting talent market research, and their method was to send their most gifted junior to compete in a high-profile manner?]
[The cost of this investigation is way too high, isn't it?]
[As it turned out, this trip really allowed her to catch two big fish—Long Xiaoyao and Mu En. Their talents were maxed out, and each was more formidable than the last.]
[What's even more absurd is that later on, both of them fell for her at the same time.]
[It seems the Holy Spirit Cult's eye for picking spies is actually decent; if nothing else, their looks are up to standard.]
[Ye Xishui originally preferred Long Xiaoyao, but she couldn't resist the order from Zhongli Old Ghost of the Holy Spirit Cult: "You are to choose Mu En for me; it will be easier to infiltrate Shrek."]
[And Zhongli Old Ghost's train of thought was quite peculiar.]
[To prevent these two young men from growing up to threaten the Holy Spirit Cult, he sent his most talented female spy to use a honey trap to sow discord between them.]
[Wait, big brother, if you can have Ye Xishui make these two geniuses fall head over heels for her, why can't you just have her find an opportunity to kill them both?]
[If you say you're afraid they're a threat, you're unwilling to kill them.]
[If you say they aren't a threat, you're going to such great lengths to sow discord.]
[Zhongli Old Ghost, do you have some kind of misunderstanding of the word "threat"?]
[Right, let's continue.]
[A year later, Long Xiaoyao returned, and Ye Xishui was ordered to sow discord. How did she do it?]
[She got Long Xiaoyao drunk and slept with him.]
[Is this your meticulously planned scheme to sow discord?]
[Getting him drunk? Sleeping with him? Big sister, is this a honey trap or a record of drunken debauchery?]
[And what is the prerequisite for this scheme to succeed?]
[Is it that after Long Xiaoyao wakes up, he doesn't think he was drugged, but instead feels he has betrayed his brother?]
[Did you not consider the success rate of this scheme at all?]
[It requires all sorts of coincidences to align for it to work; does this even count as a strategy?]
[Fine, let's assume Long Xiaoyao also had water in his brain, felt he had done something to betray Mu En, and just happened to be willing to turn against him.]
[After it was all over, Ye Xishui even got pregnant with Long Xiaoyao's child, gave birth, and sent the baby away, claiming she was afraid they would be caught in the crossfire of the Holy Spirit Cult.]
[If you're pregnant, just run away!]
[You're carrying Long Xiaoyao's seed, go find Long Xiaoyao! Let him take you and run!]
[Afraid the Holy Spirit Cult will hurt Long Xiaoyao and Mu En, right?]
[Then why don't the three of you run to Shrek together?]
[The number one power on the continent, a brand with thousands of years of history—can't they protect you three geniuses?]
[Alright, what if you say your martial soul is evil and you can't enter Shrek?]
[But didn't you say yourself that your goal was to protect them?]
[Since that's the case, you don't have to go to Shrek!]
[Why not just send the two of them into Shrek and be done with it?]
[Once they are safe, you can do whatever you want, even if you continue to be a tool for the Holy Spirit Cult—are you not at ease?]
[Wouldn't that be ten thousand times better than personally stepping in to tear them apart?]
[Later, decades later, Zhongli Old Ghost was dying and forced Ye Xishui to bear his son.]
[Take note, decades have passed.]
[You, Ye Xishui, along with Long Xiaoyao and Mu En—three top-tier martial soul talents—achieving Title Douluo status was practically a certainty!]
[And yet, three Title Douluos with top-tier martial souls and strength couldn't beat one dying old geezer?]
[You're telling me you were afraid of him? What were you afraid of?]
[Afraid of his ominous end? He was already one foot in the grave; couldn't you have just fought him head-on?]
[At this point, you could have finally told the truth.]
[Let Long Xiaoyao and Mu En know they were being manipulated back then, and have the three of you join forces to crush the Holy Spirit Cult—what a great script that would have been?]
