[There is a chilling detail hidden here.]

[The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was Ning Fengzhi's life's work, a top-tier sect passed down through generations. So why didn't Ning Rongrong and Oscar leave behind any descendants on Douluo Continent after becoming gods?]

[Soul Land II only has the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Since it could exist, that meant that when the sect was massacred, some disciples must have luckily survived outside and preserved the sect's embers.]

[Now that's truly chilling. From a conspiracy theory perspective, wasn't it because the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda itself was already powerful enough—a top-tier support-type tool spirit?]

[If descendants with the complete Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda bloodline had remained on Douluo Continent, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would inevitably have risen again. Would the Tang Sect Tang San personally founded still have had its glorious era then?]

The cold truth being laid bare sent a shudder through all the Diary Copy holders.

Soul Land I Qian Renxue: "Served them right!"

Soul Land I Hu Liena: "Good riddance, meow!"

Soul Land I Ning Rongrong: "Will the future really be like that? Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, Dad... I'm sorry..."

Inside the Shrek Academy dormitory, the lights were dim.

Ning Rongrong lay on her bed, curled up beneath the blankets, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.

In the end, Sword was broken, Bone was shattered, and Fengzhi's hair turned white overnight...

That sentence clung to her like a nightmare, crushing her until she could barely breathe. She did not dare imagine just how tragic the future would be!

At the thought of Uncle Sword losing an arm, Uncle Bone dying in battle, her father spending his old age alone, and her sect's lineage ending, the girl's nose turned red with grief, and her voice choked with sobs.

Soul Land II Ning Tian: "How could this be... Tang San, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gave so much. Why would you treat us like this?!"

Soul Land I Zhu Zhuqing: "Rongrong... sigh..."

[Of course, all of this is merely baseless speculation, but the odds of this suspicion being correct are still quite high.]

[But no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that after becoming a god, Ning Rongrong did not leave behind bloodline descendants on Douluo Continent to help the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect restore its former glory.]

[And don't use becoming a god making pregnancy difficult as an excuse.]

[Xiao Wu became a god too, yet she still gave birth to Tang Wutong and Tang Wulin.]

[If Tang San, that old father-in-law, had not interfered, Tang Wutong and Dai Yuhao's son, Huo Zhanji, would have been born long ago. Poor Yuhao endured all his life and was practically conditioned into who knows what...]

[And wasn't Ma Hongjun's descendant, Ma Xiaotao, living quite comfortably at Shrek Academy in Soul Land II? That's why I dare say there is a ninety percent chance this conspiracy theory is true.]

[But honestly, if it were me, I would probably have done the same.]

[There is a well-known principle in the cultivation world: whenever someone attains the Dao and ascends to immortality, the first thing they do upon looking back is cut off the path to immortality!]

[If you aren't ruthless, you can't stand firm. On that point alone, Tang San actually has something that can be defended.]

Soul Land I Huo Wu: 6

Soul Land I Dugu Yan: 6

Soul Land I Hu Liena: You can defend him for that too?

Soul Land I Qian Renxue: That makes sense, but I was genuinely schemed to death? Then Tang San has no excuse. He is a thoroughly despicable scoundrel!!!

[And the last of the Shrek Seven Monsters, Soft Bone Douluo Xiao Wu, Tang San's most beloved wife, was also... his most useful tool.]

[Now standing before you is Sister Xiao Wu of Nuoding Academy, one of the First-generation Shrek Seven Monsters, wife of Thousand-Hand Asura Tang San, the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, Soft Bone Douluo, wife of the Tang Sect Master, wife of the Blue Hao King, wife of the Sea God, the Asura God Sword Scabbard, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit, a Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Beast who rebuilt herself into human form, who sacrificed her flesh and blood to become a Spirit Ring and Soul Bone for love, "Revive, my beloved," who sacrificed her soul a second time at Jialing Pass to establish the foundation for Tang San's dual gods to coexist, the number one Chinese animation couple with 14.1 billion comments, 3,599 says they should be locked together, the ignorant wife whose daughter had her spirit divided by her husband, the mother whose son was sent by her husband to Douluo Continent to endure separation from his family, the grandmother whose grandson and granddaughter-in-law died on the spot the moment they met, who finally escaped to Fairy Continent only to remain hounded step by step by God King Tang, Xiao Wu, the female lead of Chinese animation who walked on thin ice her entire life!]

[Let me state in advance that there isn't enough room here for so many titles. Also, within our lifetimes, this number may expand to Soul Land VI, VII, VIII, 9, X...]

[Looking over all of Soul Land I, this was not merely a passionate story of a youth rising to power. It was also the history of the Sea God and Asura God meticulously arranging the abdication of a God King.]

[From beginning to end, Xiao Wu's fate had long since been predetermined. Just like Ah Yin, from the moment she met Tang San, she had already embarked on a path of being schemed against.]

[As early as their first meeting at Nuoding Academy, when six-year-old Xiao Wu entered Nuoding Academy as a work-study student, Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, had already seen through her identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.]

[Tang Hao's thoughts were probably much the same as when he dealt with Ah Yin: first let Xiao Wu and Tang San develop an emotional bond, then use years of daily companionship to personally plant the tragic foreshadowing of Xiao Wu's eventual sacrifice.]

[Spirit Hall set out for Star Dou Great Forest to besiege Xiao Wu, dispatching two Titled Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. What should have been a sure thing somehow ended up benefiting Tang San.]

[Xiao Wu sacrificed herself, and her Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and Soul Bone all went to Tang San, allowing Tang San, whose Soul Power had just reached the limit of a five-ringed Soul King, to successfully advance to Soul Emperor!]

[After that, Tang San put on quite a show in front of Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu. His sixth Spirit Ring lit up directly as a glaring scarlet Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, shocking everyone present!]

[Perhaps not unmatched by those to come, but it was certainly unprecedented.]

[It had to be said, Tang Hao was quite... kindhearted. At least he held back and did not slaughter the rabbit to make soup when Xiao Wu was six. Instead, he let her enjoy a pure, beautiful love before personally pushing her into a bottomless abyss. How moving!]

Soul Land I Xiao Wu: "???"

She was completely dumbfounded. You call that moving?

Xiao Wu froze where she stood, the sweet smile she usually wore completely gone, leaving only confusion and bitterness in her heart.

She had never imagined that the love she had protected with all her strength, the sacrifice she had made without hesitation, had been a carefully planned scheme from beginning to end...

Was this the fate of Soul Beasts?

Soul Land I Ah Yin: "This plot sounds somewhat familiar. Could it be... Hao really was someone who schemed step by step like this?"

Inside a dim secret chamber, a shimmering silver-blue Blue Silver Grass swayed faintly. Its crystalline blades trembled slightly, and a drop of dew silently slid down.

Like a beauty shedding tears, it fell soundlessly to the ground.

Ah Yin had initially refused to believe it, but now she was gradually wavering. Yet there was nothing she could do...

Soul Land I Ah Rou: "QWQ~ My poor daughter, leave Tang San quickly. He really isn't a good person!"

[Tang San, like Tang Hao, could also be considered a kindhearted man.]

[When it came to his own wife, one could say he would... stop at nothing?]

[Of course, at first Tang San thought Xiao Wu was human, and perhaps he did treat her sincerely. But the killer's bloodthirsty nature in his bones meant this relationship was destined to be cold and utilitarian.]

[For quite a long time after entering Shrek, Xiao Wu was still the same as when she was young, treating Tang San only as an older brother.]

[Until Zhao Wuji led the Shrek group to Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a Spirit Ring for Oscar.]

[At that time, the Titan Giant Ape sensed the aura of its friend Xiao Wu and decisively charged out of the forest to take her away. To outsiders, Xiao Wu had been forcibly abducted by a terrifying Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and was in extreme danger. Tang San seemed to lose his mind and rushed forward without regard for his own life.]

[It was also from that moment that the vague dependence in the young girl's heart quietly transformed into shy affection.]

[She was overjoyed, believing she had found true love that went both ways. Yet she did not know that from that moment onward, her life's tea table had been filled with every kind of cup tragedy...]
