Shattered Illusions
Regarding the theft of supplies, I think it depends on the person; different people steal things differently.
If a supporting character or passerby steals something, then of course they are a thief, and they should be caught, punished, and made an example of.
But if the protagonist stole it, that's a different story.
If the protagonist steals from you, it's giving you face, it's showing you respect, okay? How can you call it stealing when it involves the protagonist?
Inside a restaurant in Shrek City.
Xiao Xiao was chatting with Wang Dong'er when she suddenly noticed that after the diary pronouns were updated, she had taken back the new student's reading of this section.
However, he then frowned, his handsome brows furrowing. In the stories she had read in the novels, the main characters were all upright and honorable heroes who always had a point.
Now I realize that many things are not like that at all when viewed from a different perspective. Taking other people's things is the same thing, but if a supporting character does it, it's considered petty theft and will be punished, while if a protagonist does it, it's seen as a lucky opportunity with courage and wisdom.
With such double standards, it's no wonder everyone says the protagonist has a halo, and even right and wrong, black and white, change according to their status.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Female Dormitory.
Ju Zi put down her pen. She didn't think there was anything wrong with what Huo Yuhao had done; taking things from the enemy was fine.
Moreover, the law of the jungle is the rule of this world. What you have the ability to protect is yours, and what you can't protect and has to be taken away by others is no one's fault but yours.
The Sun Moon Empire has accumulated so many resources over the years and laid out such a grand scheme to eliminate Shrek's core seed in the tournament. If in the end they end up having their resources emptied, they can only blame their own incompetence.
Resources and territory—aren't they all won through force? There's never any logic in them being rightfully owned by anyone.
Although Ju Zi is young, she has experienced a lot and naturally knows the true nature of the world.
[Hey, I've found the key point. Tang San stole the Tang Sect's ultimate technique, jumped off a cliff to commit suicide, and was only reincarnated into the Douluo Continent after that.]
Even after being reincarnated in the Douluo Continent, he didn't forget his old ways, stealing all the Immortal Herb from Dugu Bo's Icefire Yin Yang Well.
Upon seeing this entry in the diary, Tang Ya stopped what she was doing.
Although she no longer has any good feelings towards Tang San, she used to greatly admire Tang San as her ancestor and naturally read all the books related to Tang San.
The ancient texts also record the story of the Icefire Yin Yang Well and Fire and the Immortal Herb that Lin Ye mentioned.
The record states that Tang San's ancestor was appreciated by Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who gifted him the immortal herb of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. He was a prodigy who received help from a noble person.
But is that really the truth?
He even stole and brought over the very foundation of the Tang Sect —those Hidden Weapon techniques for hidden weapons—and swept away Immortal Herb without asking.
Tang Ya was startled. From this perspective, it seemed that the foundation of the entire Tang Sect was inextricably linked to "taking" other people's things.
Shrek City, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Branch.
Ning Tian sat in the branch office, drinking tea while reviewing the branch's accounts.
Upon reading the diary entries, a flash of disdain crossed her eyes, and she put down her teacup.
"Each of the Immortal Herb in the Icefire Yin Yang Well is priceless. Some can help people break through bottlenecks, while others can improve the aptitude of Martial Soul. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the top natural treasures on the continent."
For an ordinary Soul Master, obtaining even one herb is an incredible stroke of luck. Yet, he took everything from the entire herb garden without leaving Dugu Bo any room for anything else.
Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has a history of ten thousand years, and we have always been committed to acting with integrity and fairness. Even when seeking rare and precious materials, we always exchange them for equivalent value or compete fairly based on our abilities.
"Our sect would never do something like this, wiping out someone's entire fortune."
[Going to the Divine Realm would be even more remarkable. Taking advantage of the reincarnation of the other two God King, he obtained, or rather stole, the position of the God Realm Enforcer.]
Then he secretly descended upon the Douluo Continent, arranged for Huo Yuhao, and secretly arranged for his daughter.
You wouldn't know it until you try it out; it turns out Tang San is the true ancestor of all thieves!
Shrek Academy, Inner Court Office.
Zhang Lexuan put down the file in her hand. She had a headache, not from anything else, but from worrying about her own beliefs.
You see, she also grew up listening to the legends of the Sea God. Although she saw Tang San's true colors in Lin Ye's diary, she decided to stop believing in the Sea God.
Previously, all that was seen was Tang San's dark side; in reality, the dark side wasn't really a big deal to Zhang Lexuan.
Although Tang San was indeed a bit shameless, a bit despicable, and a bit shady, is that really a stain on the reputation of a strong person? While it is indeed a stain, it's not that important.
However, what Lin Ye wrote this time was not just a stain for anyone, especially those in high positions; it was a disgrace, a disgrace that altered the very foundation of their being.
[No wonder Huo Yuhao steals; they're birds of a feather.]
The Far North.
Ice Empress's expression instantly became incredibly interesting after reading the diary's contents.
"That Tang San is disgusting. I despise these sneaky types the most. When it comes to seizing territory and resources, we should do it openly and honestly, and accept defeat if we lose."
I never imagined that a dignified God King of the Divine Realm would act less honorably than Soul Beast.
"Like father, like son; the pawns they train will naturally all be the same. They can even do things like stealing supplies in the same way. It's truly laughable."
Snow Empress stood to the side and nodded slightly.
"Divinity is inherently selfish. It is common for most Deity to scheme against their descendants and steal resources for their own power and position. With such a mentor, it is not surprising at all that Huo Yuhao would do such a thing."
Ice Empress nodded, clearly agreeing with Snow Empress's statement.
Whether they are humans or Divine Realm, they are all essentially human and possess the inherent flaws of humanity.
Previously, they actually had a very strong biased view of the Deity in the Divine Realm, thinking that gods must be high above, impartial, and supreme.
But ever since Lin Ye's Diary came into existence, their illusions have been completely shattered.
It's just about cultivating your Soul Power to level 100. Although the cultivation process is indeed very difficult, it's essentially about increasing your Soul Power.
Level 99 is the Ultimate Douluo, and level 100 is the God Official.
Levels 110, 120, 130...
To put it nicely, it's called Level 100 Godhood; to put it bluntly, isn't it just being a Soul Master above level 100?
The only difference is that Soul Master above level 100 are referred to as gods.
If they hadn't obtained the Diary, the Ice Empress of the past would never have understood so many intricacies, nor would they have thought about so much.
But things are different now. Although Lin Ye's diary entries are wildly imaginative, sometimes you can deduce a lot of things from the smallest clues.
