Being Fair to Both Sides
Tang Ya has been in the Holy Spirit Cult for so long, carried out countless missions, killed countless Soul Master who stood in her way, and caused countless innocent civilians to die under her Dark Blue Silver Grass.
The original text doesn't specify the exact numbers, but their identities speak for themselves.
The Holy Maiden, the core figure of the Holy Spirit Cult, couldn't possibly have only the blood of her enemies on her hands. Those sects targeted by the Holy Spirit Cult, the Soul Master who refused to submit, and even ordinary people used for training, must have all died at her hands.
To put it bluntly, Tang Ya at this point had become a complete puppet of the Holy Spirit Cult, a killing machine with no past, no self, and only capable of carrying out orders.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Female Dormitory.
"The Holy Spirit Cult's methods are as despicable as ever, erasing memories, manipulating people's minds, and turning them into mindless weapons."
However, from the Empire's perspective, the more trouble the Holy Spirit Cult causes, the more advantageous it is for us.
With the Heaven Dou Empire and Shrek Academy tied down by the Holy Spirit Cult, they had no energy to keep an eye on the actions of our Sun Moon Empire.
But Tang Ya is indeed a pitiful person.
He spent the first half of his life carrying the burden of his sect, and the second half he didn't even know who he was, being manipulated like a pawn. He never lived for himself for more than a few days.
Shrek City, Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect Branch.
Ning Tian sighed softly, "The Holy Spirit Cult has always acted without any bottom line. Erasing people's memories and cultivating assassins are their usual methods."
Tang Ya's fate in their hands was truly unfortunate.
It's just a pity that she had the ambition to become the sect leader, but lacked the strength and temperament to match it, and ended up in such a state.
However, the fact that she was named a saintess by the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult also shows that she was indeed talented, but she just didn't choose the right path.
The most heartbreaking and controversial part of Tang Ya's entire dark history is the semi-final of the All-Continent Youth High-Level Soul Master Elite Tournament.
In that competition, the Holy Spirit Cult specially placed her in the participating team, allowing her to represent the Holy Spirit Cult as the Blue Silver Saintess.
With the mutated Dark Blue Silver Grass and the secret techniques of the Holy Spirit Cult, she fought her way through the competition, leading her team into the semi-finals. Their opponent in the semi-finals was none other than the Shrek Academy Team.
On the field, she wore the attire of the Holy Spirit Cult and stood on the opposite side of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
Bei Bei stood at the very front of Shrek's group; her childhood sweetheart and long-time lover was there.
But she had lost all her memories; all she could see were the mission and her opponent, and she couldn't recognize the person in front of her at all.
During the fight, she showed no mercy whatsoever; the Dark Blue Silver Grass's devouring ability was deadly in every move, forcing Bei Bei to retreat steadily.
In the final battle, Bei Bei was severely injured, her meridians were badly damaged, and she almost lost all her cultivation.
The scene of that match was so gruesome it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it "hellish."
Former lovers stood on opposite sides of life and death, one unable to recognize the other, the other unwilling to kill, ultimately resulting in one death and the other injury.
The pain and despair Bei Bei felt watching the woman he loved stand on the opposing side and even try to kill him was unimaginable.
Because of this, many readers believe that Tang Ya's dark past cannot be cleared up.
Even if their memories were erased, even if they were powerless to resist, the harm was real. Severely injuring their lover and standing on the side of Evil Soul Master to fight against Shrek are undeniable facts.
However, after the semi-finals, Bei Bei's desperate shouts on the field still touched a memory deep in her soul.
Although most of her memories are still sealed, fragments have begun to emerge, and for the first time, she has begun to doubt her identity and the Holy Spirit Cult.
Later, Huo Yuhao stepped in. Relying on the special effects of Ultimate Ice and Spirit Power, he not only helped her break through the memory seal and restore all her past memories, but also purified the evil in her Martial Soul, allowing the Dark Blue Silver Grass to revert to the state of ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Only then did she completely shed her identity as Evil Soul Master, break free from the control of the Holy Spirit Cult, return to Bei Bei's side, rejoin the Tang Sect, and walk back onto the righteous path.
"Yes, scandals are scandals, there's no point in arguing about it."
She sighed softly, "Even if my memories are erased and I'm not in control of my own destiny, the fact remains that I hurt Bei Bei and killed so many people. These are all true and undeniable."
She felt no anger or resentment, because she knew that the future Lin Ye spoke of was real.
Since it has already happened, there's no use in making excuses or feeling guilty. From now on, just protect the Tang Sect and Bei Bei, and try your best to make up for your past mistakes.
The Far North.
"Humans are such a hassle, fighting and killing every day, and they even like to resort to despicable methods like erasing memories and controlling people's minds."
That Holy Spirit Cult, it doesn't sound like a good thing. Just like those human Soul Master who went to the Far North to hunt Soul Beast back then, they're all no good.
The Snow Empress gazed at the distant icy plains, her voice as soft as falling snowflakes. "Obsession breeds demons, and cause and effect are cyclical. It's fortunate that she was able to turn back after falling into the abyss. How many people in this world, with one wrong step, never have the chance to turn back?"
To summarize, Tang Ya's dark history needs to be examined in three tiers; it cannot be generalized.
The first tier consists of meme-worthy moments from the Shrek era: greed, stinginess, being eliminated from the Seven Monsters, and dropping out of school in a fit of pique.
These are all minor flaws in personality and experience, nothing of principle, and are mostly topics of casual conversation among readers, not real scandals.
The second tier is the period when he single-handedly stormed the Ironblood Sect: to avenge his parents, his Martial Soul Mutation and he stepped into the Evil Soul Master, massacring the Ironblood Sect in blood.
This show received mixed reviews; some felt her revenge was justified and that the Ironblood Sect had only themselves to blame.
Some people feel that she shouldn't have embarked on the path of Evil Soul Master, and shouldn't have harmed innocent people. Different positions lead to different opinions, and it's impossible to simply define right and wrong.
The third and heaviest tier is the period of the Blue Silver Saintess of the Holy Spirit Cult.
Erased of his memories and turned into a killing machine, his hands stained with the blood of innocents, he severely injured his lover in a competition, standing on the opposite side of good and evil.
This is the darkest and most irredeemable part of her entire acting career, and also the root cause of her greatest controversy.
Objectively speaking, external factors played a large part in her getting to this point.
His parents died tragically, his sect was destroyed, he was betrayed by everyone, and finally the Holy Spirit Cult took advantage of his vulnerability. He even lost his sense of self, and there was a large part of the reason why he was not in control of his own destiny.
Therefore, the vast majority of readers feel sorry for her misfortune and angry at her lack of ambition, expressing more disappointment than actually cursing her to death.
But no matter how many difficulties or how much they had no choice, what has been done is done, and scandals are scandals. They cannot be erased just because people feel sorry for them.
Alright, I've finished filling in all of this today, so I can be fair and avoid anyone feeling I'm favoring one side over the other. That's all for today.
