[Since Tang San had come up, we had to talk about the nominal protagonist and child of destiny of the first Soul Land installment.]

[Let's start with the good things. Later, we'd discuss the rotten things Tang San had done and explain why anyone who transmigrated to Douluo Continent and didn't deal with that little bastard would be condemned.]

[Let's begin with Tang San's origins. To be honest, Tang San himself was also a transmigrator. Unlike me, though, he had crossed over to Douluo Continent from another martial arts world.]

[Deep down, Tang San was undoubtedly a staunch supporter of feudalism. You could tell from how he destroyed Spirit Hall in the future, yet allowed the rotten aristocratic systems of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires to continue.]

[Even after becoming a god, Tang San never considered changing that. Thus, after Spirit Hall fell, commoner soul masters lost their free martial soul awakenings and policies that supported lower-class soul masters. On that point alone, Tang San was utterly despicable!]

[Anyone unaware of the truth might think you, Tang San, were pure and spotless, as if you had never accepted the soul master subsidies issued by Spirit Hall.]

[But why call this Tang San's good side? Although I, as a member of the commoner class, had always cursed Tang San, everything had two sides. To certain people, protecting the interests of the nobility was precisely Tang San's strength, wasn't it?]

Indeed...

Most of the heroines with Diary Copies agreed with that view inwardly.

As for the Diary Copy holders aligned with Spirit Hall, all their faces darkened as fury churned in their chests.

The destruction of Spirit Hall, Tang San becoming a god, a transmigrator, the protagonist chosen by destiny...

Every piece of information carried enormous weight—so enormous that some people had already begun considering killing Tang San once and for all!

The killing intent in Bibi Dong's eyes surged as she clenched her diary tightly. Murderous intent had already taken root in her heart: Eliminate the source of disaster early and prevent future trouble forever!

It was not just her. At this moment, every diary holder from Spirit Hall's faction had developed the intention to kill Tang San.

Just then, the diary suddenly flickered with an eerie light, and words that did not belong to Qin Moyu appeared!

[High-Dimensional Visitor Qin Moyu's Diary] [First: Please note that this system has stolen the High-Dimensional Visitor's diary. Do not reveal your "special" nature before the host.] [Second: Protagonists chosen by destiny possess a luck lock. Whenever they encounter difficulties, countless people will appear to help them. Falling off a cliff will surely bring an opportunity; being pursued will surely bring a benefactor; desperate situations will always turn peril into safety...] [Third: The karmic anchor for Tang San's future ascension to godhood has been set. Natives will find it nearly impossible to kill a true protagonist chosen by destiny.] [Fourth: "One Proof, Eternal Proof"! Do not do anything that may harm High-Dimensional Visitor Qin Moyu. Otherwise, the future "He" will descend in person and erase every unfavorable factor.] [Fifth: Diary Copy holders are forbidden from directly or indirectly harming one another. Violators will be executed without delay!] [Sixth: Expand...]

As the six cold rules appeared in the diaries at once, entirely different thoughts arose in the hearts of all the diary holders.

In the Soul Land I world, Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and the other girls declared with conviction:

"Protagonist chosen by destiny? I've never believed in so-called fate! Tang San must die! Even Jesus couldn't save him!"

The anchor had already been set?

Natives could hardly kill a protagonist chosen by destiny?

The proud daughters of heaven all scoffed at it. Backed by the continent's top forces, they did not believe in this so-called destiny at all!

Yet before long, the diary's next entry ruthlessly slapped the faces of those who did not believe in fate.

[Honestly, that old bastard Tang San had outrageously good luck. Right from the start, he had the Asura God, a God King of the God Realm, watching over him.]

[After Tang San was killed later on, the Asura God even held a blade to the God of Food and Nine-Colored Goddess, forcing them to bestow divine inheritances upon Oscar and Ning Rongrong and use Revival Divine Light to revive Tang San...]

The moment those words appeared, countless heroines in the Soul Land I world changed expression.

Soul Land I, Qian Renxue: "Damn it, can't it still be done?"

Soul Land I, Ling Yuan Douluo: "I was planning to kill Tang San tonight. I'll leave that honor to the juniors, then..."

Soul Land I, Xiao Wu: "So Third Brother has always had the Asura God protecting him. That's wonderful!"

Soul Land I, Ning Rongrong: "I became a god? Yay!!!"

Soul Land I, Huo Wu: "Tang San... was he really that impressive?"

Soul Land I, Jiang Zhu: "I'm so jealous of Sister Rongrong..."

Soul Land I, Dugu Yan: "I think we should still be cautious about supporting Lord Qin Moyu. I've prepared two different positions on this..."

For a time, some were worried while others rejoiced.

Most of the girls who had good relationships with Tang San wore delighted expressions.

Especially after learning from the diary that Ning Rongrong would inherit the divinity of the Nine-Colored Goddess, it would have been a lie to say they were not jealous.

Quite a few well-connected young ladies had heard about Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect investing in Tang San. Ning Rongrong's ascension to godhood surely could not have happened without Tang San's help.

And as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been the earliest to invest in Tang San, they must have made a fortune, right?

Many Soul Land I heroines revealed envious looks, but before long, their gazes froze...

[However, that said...]

[So what if Tang San became a god? So what if the Asura God King was protected by a top-tier Demon King?]

[I am living in the era of Soul Land I, with the diary system in hand. I definitely will not just watch him follow destiny and ascend to godhood.]

[As the protagonist chosen by destiny of Douluo Continent, Tang San's rise could be described as smooth sailing. It even allowed you, a killer, to perfectly conceal the hypocritical, double-standard scoundrel hidden in your bones, making everyone around you instinctively overlook that fact.]

[Thinking carefully, if Tang San had not extended the lives of those old-era forces that once followed him, they would have been completely wiped out in Soul Land I long ago.]

[And even with Tang San forcibly keeping them alive, aside from Shrek Academy standing alone, not a single one of them was able to continue flourishing by the era of Soul Land II.]

[Tang San was like a mountain, bearing the rotten and backward order of the old era. As long as he existed, he represented people's inability to let go of their obsession with that old era.]

[Only by completely breaking those shackles could a brand-new path be opened for civilization, for the era, and for future generations—instead of carelessly giving up, leaving every hidden danger for future generations to solve, then letting them habitually toss out, "This is a problem left over by history."]

[Those old fools clinging desperately to the rubble of conservatism, harboring baseless fear and distrust toward the new culture around them—it was time to kick them off the stage of history.]

[I am not looking down on Tang San, nor am I slighting the Asura God King.]

[What I mean is that everyone present across the entire Douluo Continent is trash!]

Soul Land I, Ah Yin: "..."

Soul Land I, Xiao Wu: "..."

Soul Land I, Huo Wu: "That arrogant?"

Soul Land I, Tang Yuehua: "Tang San is really miserable. For no reason at all, he has been targeted by such a decisive and ruthless existence..."

Soul Land I, Dugu Yan: "I retract one of my positions. I will support Lord Qin Moyu forever!"

Soul Land II, Tang Ya: "..."

Soul Land II, Goddess of Life: "???"

Within the God Realm, the Goddess of Life had originally been leisurely watering trees and flowers. When the diary updated and she finished reading it, her face filled with question marks.

He was unafraid of a world's destiny and even looked down upon the God Kings of the God Realm...

Could this High-Dimensional Visitor's so-called cheat, this system, be extraordinarily unusual?

At that moment, the Goddess of Life put away her casual attitude and began to take Qin Moyu seriously.

I need to sit up and watch this.
