[What's more, Tang San later personally stripped the Blue Silver Emperor's poison-type Spirit Ring away. Though it was to resurrect Xiao Wu, no matter how one looked at it, he did it so he could pick a better Spirit Ring for himself.]

[And without saying too much or too little, in the Soul Land fanfics I read years ago, the vast majority of transmigrators basically chose to follow behind Tang San as his lackeys.]

[If Soul Land 2 and Soul Land 3 had not gradually exposed the dirt on him, revealing Tang San's true face beneath his saintly facade and the disgusting things he had done, Tang San would still be the perfect God King of the God Realm in the eyes of the world.]

[But then again, if I remembered correctly, Tang San seemed to regard only his relatives and brothers as his own.]

[During the era of Soul Land 1, the factions that followed Tang San had basically all declined by the time of Soul Land 2 ten thousand years later. Even the Tang Sect personally founded by Tang San could not escape its downfall.]

[The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect ultimately saw its sword broken and its bones shattered, while Feng Zhi's hair turned white overnight!]

[Even after it became the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong and Oscar ascended to godhood, yet neither of them left behind any descendants.]

[In Soul Land 2, only Ning Tian remained as a named minor female supporting character. By Soul Land 3, even the name Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was gone, vanishing without a trace.]

[As for roadside factions like the Four Attribute Sect, Skywater Academy, and Blazing Fire Academy, not even their names remained.]

[The most ironic one was the Tang Sect. Tang San deliberately sealed away the true Tang Sect secret arts, causing a break in the Tang Sect's cultivation methods and the loss of its finest hidden weapon techniques, indirectly leading to the Tang Sect's decline.]

[As expected of you, Tang Buddha. You did not even care about the Tang Sect, all so the entire Tang Family Continent could become a place for you to tame Huo Yuhao.]

[Leaving aside Tang San's selfishness in deliberately not preserving the Tang Sect secret arts, as the First-Level God Sea God and half a Asura God, would it really have been difficult for Tang San to prop up a mere Tang Sect?]

[Later, when the Sun Moon Empire crushed the entire continent and was about to conquer the Douluo Continent, Tang San did not hesitate at all. He directly descended like a god from a machine and forcibly rewrote the battle situation. Who in the God Realm Committee would care if God King Tang San broke the rules and laws?]

As soon as those words were spoken, the many female leads of Soul Land 1 and Soul Land 2 all revealed expressions of disbelief!

In Soul Land 1, the atmosphere within Spirit Hall immediately became incomparably gloomy. Hu Liena beside them did not even dare breathe loudly.

Oh my god, the Sea God, half the Asura God, Lord Tang San, the dual God King—so scary she could cry!!!

Should Spirit Hall just surrender...

On the other hand, Bibi Dong was not so pessimistic. Instead, she revealed a thoughtful expression.

The Sea God, the Asura God King, two gods coexisting...

If Tang San could do it, there was no reason she, who also possessed top-tier Twin Martial Souls, could not!

At the same time, on Sea God Island, thousands of miles away.

The sea waves surged violently, while the Seven Sacred Pillars shone with dazzling brilliance.

"So Tang San is the inheritor personally chosen by Lord Sea God?" Bo Saixi's gaze flickered as she swiftly sorted out the connections.

Tang San also bore the surname Tang, was Tang Hao's son, and possessed the Clear Sky Hammer...

She wondered whether Tang San had an inseparable connection to Tang Chen...

Soul Land 2, Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang Ya and Bei Bei were currently leading Huo Yuhao, the new disciple who had just joined the Tang Sect, back toward Shrek City.

After reading the diary's string of revelations, Tang Ya's steps paused slightly. She secretly examined the slender young Yuhao beside her, her gaze becoming incredibly complicated.

This child Huo Yuhao was truly too pitiful. He had drifted through hardships and come alone to the Star Dou Great Forest. His fate was so rough that it made one's heart ache...

Yet such a miserable young man was actually the child of destiny of this era?

She secretly glanced at the dim ten-year Spirit Ring on Huo Yuhao's body. His first Spirit Ring was a bottom-tier one that was less than a hundred years old. Was he really the child of destiny?

Why... did these people who wrote stories always depict the protagonists they created so tragically?

The protagonists suffered countless disasters, while the villains had happy families.

Even the writer of the Diary Copy, the youth named Qin Moyu, seemed to have had a tragic beginning as well?

Do these authors have some kind of serious illness?

Tang Ya silently mocked in her heart.

In contrast, Tang Ya was unwilling to think about the cruel truth exposed in the diary—that Tang San had kept some of the Tang Sect's secret arts for himself.

Lord Sea God must have had profound reasons for doing so!

[Speaking of the inheritance of the Asura God King's divine position, I really can't hold it together.]

[After finishing all of Soul Land 1, all I want to say is that this was a grand production carefully orchestrated by the Asura God and Sea God of the God Realm, who planned to step down from the God Realm.]

[All living beings were chess pieces on this board, swept along by the tide of the era. Those who followed the times lived, while those who went against the tide of the era would ultimately end up battered and scarred.]

[And the sole ultimate winner of this grand play was Tang San, who possessed two gods at once.]

[The only incidental beneficiaries who followed Tang San were the First-generation Shrek Seven Monsters. The other six all ascended to the God Realm.]

[The sacrifices of this entire game were Spirit Hall's side. Rakshasa God Bibi Dong and Angel God Qian Renxue, who joined forces to kill Tang San, were merely tools used to pave Tang San's path.]

[The Asura God King and Sea God successfully handed over their divine positions, then ran off to the God Realm with their buckets. What a cause for celebration.]

[However, from the perspective of conspiracy theories, the endings of these so-called incidental beneficiaries, the First-generation Shrek Seven Monsters, were not necessarily that good either.]

[Let's not even talk about the accessory Xiao Wu. There would be plenty of tragedies for her later—too many to count!]

Xiao Wu of Soul Land 1: "???"

The three Xiao Wus of Soul Land 2: "..."

[Let's first talk about Ma Hongjun, the only single dog among the Shrek Seven Monsters. Setting aside all the despicable things this fatty did, such as visiting brothels and listening to music before he was even ten, harassing respectable women, and actively provoking female soul masters...]

[He originally had a chance to challenge the divine position of the First-Level God Fire God. Unfortunately, he was not capable enough, so he settled for second best and only got a second-level Phoenix God in the end.]

[Of course, for most Limit Douluo on the Douluo Continent, let alone a Second-Level God, even becoming a mere divine officer would have countless people scrambling for the position.]

[But all I want to say is, too small. Your vision is too narrow!]

[Ma Hongjun's life tragedy had only just begun. He and Bai Chenxiang were deeply in love. After weathering countless trials, they finally became a couple, married, had children, and spent their lives together.]

[But the rules of the God Realm were cold and merciless. A Second-Level God simply had no authority to bring family members into the God Realm!]

[Later, Ma Hongjun sat alone in the God Realm, suffering year after year from the pain of longing. He could never let go of his wife in the mortal world, and he repeatedly begged Tang San to help, but it was all in vain.]

[One day in the God Realm was one year in the mortal world. Ma Hongjun could only watch helplessly as Bai Chenxiang grew old bit by bit, walking from a graceful young beauty into her twilight years, until she ultimately became a handful of earth...]

[Ah, devoted Phoenix God, please wait another lifetime...]

[And everyone knew that at the time, Tang San possessed the dual divine positions of Asura God King and Sea God. If he had truly wanted to bring his cousin Bai Chenxiang into the God Realm, it definitely would not have been so difficult.]

[But Tang San was no good person. He had only just arrived, had yet to understand the God Realm's rules, and because he held two divine positions—especially top-tier ones like Sea God and Asura God—many gods already resented him.]

[For the sake of his own career, Tang San could not possibly help his cousin just because of a close friend's request.]

[Indeed, Ma Hongjun was my brother, Tang San, and you, Bai Chenxiang, were my cousin, Tang San. But this precedent could not be set.]

[What's more, Tang San did not have only one cousin. When one was rich in a bustling city, no one cared; when one was poor in the mountains, distant relatives appeared. There were plenty of people who wanted to climb up the ladder through him...]

[Not to mention that Ma Hongjun himself was not promising enough and missed out on a First-Level God position. The status gap between a First-Level God and a Second-Level God was worlds apart. With Ma Hongjun's future standing in the God Realm, he was not worthy of the high-ranking God King Tang San taking such a risk.]

[So objectively speaking, Tang San really could not be blamed for this. Bringing the other six Shrek members and finding each of them a suitable god had already been all he could do.]

[As for blaming Ma Hongjun for not working hard enough—had his cultivation risen all these years? Had he trained seriously?]

[Without knowing the full story, no judgment should be made. We do not know what the Fire God's First-Level God trial was like.]

[So when all was said and done, it was not Tang San who ruined Ma Hongjun. It was this world that ruined you!]
