Ungrateful Wretch!
She had already envisioned that future. After this Child of Destiny displayed his talent, the academy would naturally pour resources into Huo Yuhao step by step. Even Mu En would make exceptions for him time and time again, and in the end, he would pay the price with his life.
I thought I could cultivate a person who could support the era, but in the end, I produced someone who could even abandon his master.
"You can protect Shrek once, but you can't protect the long-term future."
Zhang Lexuan's eyes held a hint of disappointment. "Compared to temporary military achievements, inheritance is the foundation of a sect. If he's not even willing to leave behind a foundation, what use is his talent, no matter how high it is?"
Even the farewell was so rushed...
Tang Ya pursed her lips, a bittersweet feeling welling up inside her.
She already knew from her diary that her future self, and the future Tang Sect, had almost exhausted all their efforts to help Huo Yuhao.
Cultivation techniques, Hidden Weapon, connections— the Tang Sect has never hesitated to provide whatever he needs.
He is also a member of the Tang Sect and one of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
Tang Ya always believed that they were a real family, partners who could walk together to the end.
According to the Diary, when Huo Yuhao left in the future, he didn't even say much to the Tang Sect before ascending to immortality.
"Does that mean the Tang Sect and his comrades are unimportant to him?"
Tang Ya felt a bitter taste in her mouth. "They kept saying the Seven Monsters were one, that they would live and die together, but in the end, it was all just empty words?"
What's most unacceptable isn't actually his betrayal of Shrek, but rather his attitude towards his comrades who have risked their lives for him.
What were the First-Generation Shrek Seven Monsters like?
Tang San became a god, but he didn't forget his brothers and friends, and led everyone to ascend to the Divine Realm together.
Even those with relatively ordinary aptitudes obtained Godhood, truly living up to their initial promise, "The Seven Monsters are one, sharing life and death."
Brotherhood is not just talk; it's something they truly embody.
Although Tang San's attitude towards his former companions gradually became condescending.
Regardless, at least he became a god.
In other words, even if you don't acknowledge these brothers in the end, at least you helped them take off.
Your brothers wouldn't have been able to become gods otherwise, but thanks to you, they got to experience what it's Divine-level.
But what about Huo Yuhao's generation? They're a complete joke.
Through a series of fortuitous events and with Tang San paving the way behind him, he smoothly ascended to godhood, then went to the Divine Realm to find Tang Wutong.
As for the remaining five companions, along with Bei Bei and Tang Ya, he didn't leave them any opportunities to become gods, not even a single benefit or resource.
He casually tossed out the words, "I need to hurry to the Divine Realm to find Wutong," and then vanished without a trace.
I can just imagine the expressions on those people's faces when they stood there; they were probably all stunned and couldn't react for a long time.
We've been through thick and thin together, overcome countless difficulties, and shouted slogans louder than anyone else. But when it really came down to success, they ran away faster than anyone else, without even thinking of helping their brothers out.
When they faced a formidable enemy together, it was his comrades who fought alongside him.
When he was in trouble, his friends risked their lives to help him.
As a result, once he became successful, the first people he forgot about were these brothers.
In his eyes, all those years of risking his life together, and such deep brotherhood, were less important than rushing to the Divine Realm to see his beloved.
On the path Shrek Outer Court.
Ning Tian suddenly stopped, his mind filled with the contents of his Diary.
"The Seven Monsters as One was just a slogan shouted at others."
Ning Tian snorted coldly, his tone filled with undisguised disdain. "Once you become a god, you don't care about the lives of your companions. Such heartlessness and treachery, no matter how high your talent, will never make you a truly great person."
She was born into the Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect and was taught from a young age the importance of sect loyalty and trust among partners.
In her view, people who can share the good times but not the bad are not worth getting to know well, much less entrust with anything.
"I used to think he was a rare genius, that he could lead the New-Generation Seven Monsters to achieve great things."
Ning Tian shook his head, his tone full of disappointment. "Now it seems, he's just a nobody blinded by love. He can even abandon his own companions. What can we expect him to do when something really big happens in the future?"
After she finished speaking, she lost interest in continuing her walk and turned to head back to her dormitory.
Star Dou Forest, Lake of Life.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly raised its furry head, a hint of undisguised disdain flashing in its golden eyes.
"Human sentiments are indeed the least valuable thing."
It flicked its bushy tail, its tone full of disdain. "A selfish creature that abandons even its own companions, no different from those greedy human Soul Master."
As Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Forest, it has witnessed far too much hypocrisy and selfishness in humans.
They speak grand and righteous words, but all they think about is their own interests.
It had initially thought Huo Yuhao was Child of Destiny, different from other humans, but now it seemed it had overestimated him.
[If this is the attitude towards his partners, then it goes without saying that he would treat the Tang Sect and Shrek even worse.]
He rose through the ranks to become Titled Douluo, then Ultimate Douluo, possessing countless top-tier cultivation techniques, insights gained from practical combat training, and even the Soul Tool technology he learned from the Sun Moon Empire and created himself.
Any one of these items would be a treasure that would drive the entire continent into a frenzy.
If he had put in just a little effort and spent ten days or half a month compiling these things into a book and leaving it to the younger generations of Shrek and Tang Sect, it would have elevated the foundation of both major forces to a new level and saved them from decades of detours.
Not to mention, he is also proficient in making high-level Soul Tool. He can leave behind just a few core blueprints and make Shrek's Soul Guidance Department catch up with the level of the Sun Moon Empire.
But what about him? He left nothing behind.
He left behind no techniques, no insights, no blueprints, not even a word of advice for future generations.
His mind was preoccupied with only one thing: to ascend to the heavens as soon as possible and find Tang Wutong in the Divine Realm.
The inheritance of his sect, the future of his clan, the prospects of his companions, the stability of the continent—all of these were trivial matters in his eyes.
Only his love, only his reunion with Tang Wutong, is the most important thing in the world.
Calling him love-struck is an understatement; he simply can't prioritize or distinguish between what's important and what's not.
Shrek has raised such a disciple. I wonder if the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, if they knew in the afterlife, would feel that all the effort and resources they poured into him were wasted.
If Mu En knew that the person he risked his life to save had left behind such a mess, he'd probably be so angry his Divine Soul would reassemble itself.
