Weakness and Ignorance Are Never Obstacles to the Survival of a Civilization

[As for the current timeline, the All-Continent Spirit Master Elite Tournament has yet to begin, and there is no telling if Tang San has managed to secure the immortal herbs from that big sucker, Dugu Bo.]

[Dugu Bo, the noble benefactor who invested in Tang San early on, can only be described as someone who, much like Ning Fengzhi, invested in the wrong object. Tang San does not view you people as human at all.]

[The Icefire Yin Yang Well is a top-tier treasure land nurtured by the heavens and earth, filled with peerless immortal herbs. Any single one taken out would be enough to drive the spirit masters of the continent into a frenzy of slaughter.]

[Yet, Tang San had no intention of leaving even half a share of this fortune for you, Old Poison.]

[Just among the herbs inside, any one of them could resolve the Jade Purple Serpent Poison that has plagued Dugu Yan for years, completely eradicating the flaws in her spirit and even allowing it to sublimate and evolve!]

[Even for Dugu Bo himself, to say nothing of more, breaking through a few levels of spirit power to become a Super Douluo would be a walk in the park.]

[Tang San sits upon this entire treasury of immortal herbs, yet he hoards it all for himself, unwilling to share even the slightest benefit with Dugu Bo and his granddaughter.]

[However, he is quite good to his own people. Each of the Shrek Seven Monsters gets a share of the top-grade immortal herbs, and even his own trash teacher, Yu Xiaogang, received one—his spirit defect was resolved on the spot, and his spirit power broke through to level 30!]

[It is no exaggeration to say that without these immortal herbs, whether the other six members of Shrek could ever become gods remains an unknown.]

Douluo 1 Dugu Yan: Damn you, Tang San! I knew you didn't have good intentions!

Dugu Yan stared at the diary floating before her, trembling with rage. Her pretty face flushed red as she gritted her teeth.

"No, I must tell Grandfather about this!" Dugu Yan clenched her fists, her expression filled with indignation.

She had already made up her mind; as soon as the next day dawned, she would wake her grandfather Dugu Bo from his secluded cultivation. She had to go demand an explanation from Tang San and expose his hypocritical, fake face!

However, the content that followed in the diary made her lose her composure...

[But then again, I feel that Tang San being kidnapped to the Sunset Forest by Dugu Bo is quite unreasonable.]

[Hasn't that old brat Tang Hao been by Tang San's side the whole time? Yet Dugu Bo was able to take Tang San away so easily?]

[Given Tang Hao's personality, the only explanation is that he probably went off to drink...]

[As expected of the protagonist's father, he manages to slack off while protecting his kid—he truly has his own style!]

[Tang San went missing for over a month, and Tang Hao didn't ask or care from start to finish. Unless he had been following Tang San the whole time?]

Dugu Yan: ...

Tang Hao?

That man who shook the entire Douluo Continent, the youngest Title Douluo in history, the man who severely injured the former Pope of Spirit Hall with a single hammer, one of the Clear Sky Twin Stars, the Clear Sky Douluo?

Could it be that during the entire process of her grandfather abducting Tang San, this Top Killing God had been lurking in the shadows, watching?

Thinking about it was terrifying!

The moment she thought about a Title Douluo watching from the shadows at every moment, Dugu Yan went numb. A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out across her back.

Dugu Yan silently withdrew her impulse to go demand an explanation from Tang San in her heart.

She wasn't being a coward; she was just being sensible...

The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor was strong, and Dugu Bo's poison skills were peerless, but she didn't know if her grandfather could withstand the Clear Sky Hammer in a fit of rage.

But Dugu Yan knew that her small frame definitely couldn't withstand a single strike from the Clear Sky Douluo...

[It's a pity, Qian Renxue is currently holed up in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family playing house, and she has even developed a sense of appreciation for talent, plotting to recruit Tang San...]

[I can only say, that's quite something...]

[Qian Renxue, the future Angel God, is very strong, right?]

Douluo 1 Qian Renxue: That's right, I am clearly this strong!

Deep within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Qian Renxue's eyes flickered, a sense of curiosity and pride rising in her heart.

She was born a daughter of heaven, her talent peerless in the world, and in the future, she would ascend to the throne of a god, becoming the supreme existence who wields the Angel God.

Since she would eventually become the Angel God, it made no sense for her to sit by and watch Tang San rise, right?

Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with curiosity, and she looked forward to what secrets of the future this transmigrator named Qin Moyu knew.

However, the diary entry that followed nearly caused her to lose control of her expression...

[In the later stages of Douluo 1, before she even became a god, Tang San, who only had the cultivation of a Title Douluo, nearly killed the Angel God on the spot using only the top hidden weapons of the Tang Sect!]

[The greatest failure in Qian Renxue's life was never a lack of talent, but her soft-heartedness and arrogance.]

[After ascending to the throne of the Angel God, Qian Renxue actually thought about recruiting Tang San, her enemy. In the end, she was defeated by her own arrogance.]

[This is something I must keep in mind: never give an enemy an opportunity, no matter what.]

[Weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to the survival of a civilization; arrogance is!]

[What's even more ridiculous is that Qian Renxue actually started to like Tang San a little, showing mercy time and time again. This explains why she was willing to give Tang San chances, ultimately leading to her defeat, death, and the shattering of her godhood...]

Douluo 1 Qian Renxue: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Douluo 1 Bibi Dong: "Hidden weapons? Mere hidden weapons can actually kill a god?"

Douluo 1 Ning Rongrong: "So Tang Sect Hidden Weapons are that strong? Should I tell Father and have him ask Third Brother... ask Tang San to buy a set of blueprints?"

Douluo 2 Tang Ya: "..."

If hidden weapons were really that strong, why hadn't she noticed?

[To be fair, the fact that mere Tang Sect Hidden Weapons can kill a god only goes to show that the Douluo Continent is truly the bottom of the barrel in fantasy.]

[Not to mention anything else, even in the Earth of my past life—a world without spirits, without supernatural powers, where the average human lifespan was only 70—any developing country could easily flatten the entire Douluo Continent.]

[They wouldn't even need to use ultimate weapons like nuclear weapons; the power ceiling of the Douluo Continent doesn't even qualify.]

[I admit your spirit is indeed strong, but my marksmanship is not a bit inferior!]

[Marksmanship is also a law, and ballistics is also a path; all roads lead to the same destination, the natural order of the Dao!]

Douluo 1 Qian Renxue: "Guns? What kind of long spear can kill a god just like a hidden weapon?"

Douluo 1 Bibi Dong: "No need for spirits, no need for cultivation, to be able to roam the world with just nuclear weapons? Can technology actually develop such terrifying power?"

Douluo 2 Xu Jiujiu: "These words are not false. After the advent of soul guidance thermal weapons, the living space of spirit beasts has indeed been continuously compressed."

Douluo 3 Bi Ji: "Sigh..."

Douluo 4 Bai Xiuxiu: "This... is indeed true."

[I have to admit, Qian Renxue infiltrating Heaven Dou and focusing on recruiting Tang San is the most abstract operation I have ever seen, bar none.]

[Disguised as the Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, she went to such lengths and lowered herself to recruit Tang San. I just want to ask, is this recruiting an enemy for Spirit Hall?]

Douluo 1 Qian Renxue: "..."

Douluo 1 Xue Ke: "???"

[Speaking of the undercover mission, I am really curious: who actually approved this task?]

[The Douluo Continent is a world where strength is supreme, yet they sent the number one genius in ten thousand years, with innate level 20 spirit power and the ultimate Angel God bloodline, to go undercover in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?]

[How is this operation any different from a high and mighty saintess of a holy land lowering herself to go undercover in a small family faction?]

[Like the daughter of the world's richest person going undercover in a village chief's home just to inherit the position of village chief?]

[Don't end up getting turned into a cream puff (´ڡ`ლ)]

[Culture, faith, family philosophy—these are undoubtedly the things that test human nature the most. Sending your most talented descendant to be raised in someone else's home, aren't you afraid that they might develop feelings over time and give rise to sentiments that shouldn't exist?]

[Coincidentally, it's not just Qian Renxue. Isn't Xiao Xun'er from Battle Through the Heavens the same? Going undercover in the declining Xiao Clan of the eight ancient clans, only to fall in love with Xiao Yan.]

[The daughter of the head of the eight ancient clans, the apple of the eye of the peak Dou Sheng Gu Yuan, a daughter of heaven who wields the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame (ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking) and possesses the Gu Clan God-Grade Dou Di Bloodline, goes undercover in a remote corner of Wutan City in the Xiao Clan, where the people only have Da Dou Shi cultivation...]

[But you have to say, Xiao Xun'er at least invested in the right person; she ate well and withdrew as a millionaire.]

[Dou Di was just the starting point, and later she crossed planes to ascend to the position of The Great Ruler, becoming the mistress of the Endless Fire Territory in the Great Thousand World.]

Battle Through the Heavens Heroines: "..."
