The Most Poisonous Thing Is the Human Heart: Douluo World's Ultimate Deception of Human Nature

A scarlet Sky Screen shrouded the ruined continent, while wails from the chaotic age echoed across the four seas.

Evil Soul Masters slaughtered villages and towns, ancient ferocious beasts ravaged the wilderness, and reclusive evil cultivators ran rampant through the mountains and forests. The rules left behind by the gods had completely collapsed. External evil swept through the human world, and blood stained vast stretches of land red.

Billions of living beings had believed that external villains were the greatest disaster of this chaotic age.

But the Blood-Red Sky Screen hanging high in the heavens suddenly switched to an icy scene.

Lines of bone-chilling bloody words slammed into the eyes of every original character, tearing away Douluo World's final layer of pretense.

[The eighth ultimate foundational deception: the artificial beautification of human nature.]

[The gods deliberately altered the hearts of Douluo World's people, forcibly suppressing malice and disguising it as innocence and kindness.]

[All the warmth of human relationships, pure bonds, and sincere feelings in the original work were distorted by the gods' filter.]

[The so-called simple continent, honest living beings, and warm bonds had been false appearances from beginning to end.]

Every word was cold and vicious.

The blood-red comments filling the sky instantly erupted into madness. Every viewer's scalp tingled, and chills ran through their entire body.

[I can't accept this the most! So all the human warmth in the original work was fake?]

[No wonder everyone turned bad the instant the chaotic age arrived! Their true nature had long been suppressed by the gods!]

[The gods deliberately made the original work look warm and peaceful just to make us lower our guard!]

[Douluo World was never a warm world. It was a beautified hell that devoured people!]

[The most terrifying things aren't ferocious beasts or evil entities, but the most primitive, ugly human hearts sealed away by the gods!]

The Sky Screen suddenly replayed the records of human-nature monitoring from billions of years ago.

To maintain the stability of their breeding ground, the gods had deliberately imposed a human-nature beautification filter upon all living beings.

They suppressed Greed, buried selfishness, diluted malice, and sealed away cruelty.

They made children innocent, commoners honest, clans harmonious, and companions loyal.

They gave Shrek a friendship filter, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect an aristocratic benevolence filter, and ordinary people a kind and honest filter.

The gods had deliberately beautified everything, fabricating an illusion of warmth and trapping the world in false tenderness until it lost all vigilance.

Once the gods fell and the filter vanished, primitive human nature would be completely exposed.

Greed, selfishness, betrayal, indifference, malice, and currying favor with the powerful were the true nature of Douluo World's living beings.

Spirit City, temporary defensive line.

Bibi Dong stood rigidly in the air, her pupils contracting violently.

She saw with her own eyes that the ordinary civilians behind the defensive line, once meek and timid, were now frantically looting supplies.

The injured were cast aside without hesitation. The elderly, the weak, women, and children were ruthlessly shoved away. People fought viciously over a single piece of dry food, blood splattering everywhere.

Not long ago, they had still been harmonious, honest civilians who helped one another.

The instant the gods' filter shattered, the ugliness of human nature was laid bare.

"So... the kindness I saw was never their true nature."

Bibi Dong murmured with a tremble, her body turning cold beneath her black robes. "The gods altered people's hearts and blinded our eyes. Even human feeling was a deception."

Sea God Island, above the crashing waves.

Bo Saixi's face was bloodless as she stared fixedly at the chaotic Sea Clan by the shore.

The marine creatures that had once been gentle, obedient, and harmonious were now biting and devouring their own kind.

There was no affection, no bloodline, only the most primitive plunder and hunger.

All her life, she had believed the Sea Clan to be pure and noble, scorning the treacherous hearts of land-dwellers.

Only now did she understand that everyone was equally filthy. The Sea Clan had merely been sealed more deeply by the gods.

Clear Sky Sect, Broken Mountain Square.

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao stood stiffly, staring at the refugees below the mountain in disbelief.

The chaotic age had descended, and supplies were scarce.

The villagers below the mountain, once helpful, honest, and simple, now drew blades against one another and stabbed their companions in the back for a mouthful of water or a piece of meat.

The sincere neighborly affection of the past vanished completely after the filter shattered.

Tang Hao gripped the massive Clear Sky Hammer tightly, his eyes filled with absurdity.

Back then, weary of conflict, he had withdrawn to Holy Soul Village, believing the village was simple and that warmth still existed in the human world.

Only now did he realize that it had merely been a gentle lie woven by the gods.

True mortals had always been selfish and cold-hearted.

Star Dou Great Forest, deep within the sea of flowers.

Xiao Yu's bamboo-like figure trembled slightly, and a chill appeared in her clear, beautiful eyes for the first time.

She had always believed that living beings inclined toward kindness and that gentleness could move everything.

In the past, human children would gently stroke Soul Beasts, and commoners never killed without cause.

But now that the filter had disappeared, fleeing humans trampled weak Soul Beasts without hesitation, abandoning every shred of conscience in order to survive.

She finally understood that the pure gentleness she had pursued all her life simply did not exist on this continent.

Di Tian lay atop an ancient tree, and his deep, mournful dragon roar shook the forest.

Soul Beasts slaughtered each other, their own kind betrayed one another, and the law of the strong devouring the weak prevailed. The beastliness suppressed by the gods for billions of years erupted completely.

The so-called deep loyalty of Soul Beasts, their bloodline bonds, were likewise illusions created by the gods.

Across the entire continent, every veteran powerhouse from the original work suffered a complete collapse of their worldview, their minds trembling violently.

They had lived in a false world beautified by the gods, believing in loyalty, kindness, and purity.

Only when the Sky Screen tore away the filter did they finally see the bloody truth of this continent.

The ones hit hardest were the young geniuses from the original work, scattered and fleeing in all directions.

Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun hid in a corner of a ruined city.

The Shrek bond that had once been intimate and inseparable, supposedly never to be betrayed, was now so fragile that it could not withstand a single blow.

With supplies scarce and hunger unbearable, Ning Rongrong coldly pushed away the injured Oscar, choosing to protect herself first.

Greed flickered in Ma Hongjun's eyes as he secretly coveted the last remaining storage Soul Tool.

There was no sharing life and death, no refusing to leave one another behind.

The filter shattered, and Shrek's false friendship revealed its true form.

Dai Mubai felt ice-cold as he watched his companions suspect and guard against one another, then laughed at himself.

The brotherhood and passionate bonds he had once taken pride in were nothing more than a group beautification buff imposed by the gods.

The so-called pure friendship among geniuses had always been a ridiculous joke of self-deception.

A remote Barren Mountain, within the Eternal Restriction.

Tang San knelt on both knees, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

The Sky Screen specifically enlarged and displayed the ugly faces of the Shrek group, showing every facet of human nature amid the chaotic age.

The thing he had once been proudest of was friendship. The thing he valued most was bonds. The thing he believed in most deeply was the gentleness of the human world.

All his life, he had clung to justice, kindness, and pure affection.

But now, the Sky Screen bluntly told him:

Everything tender that you loved was forged by the gods.

Everything beautiful that you believed in had been deliberately altered.

The light he had desperately protected and pursued all his life had never existed from beginning to end.

He suddenly understood why he had been selfish, cold-blooded, and unscrupulous by nature.

Because he was an artificially created prodigy, and the gods alone had not imposed the human-nature beautification filter upon him.

Everyone else's kindness had been modified. Only his malice was his innate true self.

He was not the aberration. All living beings were the false products that had been beautified.

Ugliness, selfishness, and Greed were the shared origin of all beings in Douluo World.

Extreme absurdity, extreme irony, and extreme despair relentlessly devoured Tang San's shattered divine soul.

High above the sea of clouds, a figure in white looked down indifferently upon the human world.

Li Xuan's gaze was cold as he quietly watched every original character collapse and break down.

The system panel coldly reorganized itself, plainly recording the truth of the deception.

[The ninth deception: the human-nature beautification filter.]

[The gods altered the hearts of all living beings, creating a false continent of warmth.]

[Filter effect: lower the vigilance of living beings, weaken their desire to resist, and make long-term captivity easier.]

[Filter duration: all filters permanently shattered the instant the gods fell.]

[Current state of all beings: primitive nature exposed, the bottom line of human nature continuously declining.]

The Blood-Red Sky Screen blazed crimson, illuminating faces filled with madness, indifference, and Greed.

There was no embellishment, no concealment. It nakedly displayed the truest appearance of this continent.

There had never been a gentle Douluo World.

There had only been a false cage carefully embellished by the gods to numb all living beings.

Everyone was hypocritical, everyone selfish, everyone malicious.

So-called kindness was merely a beautiful skin the gods had placed over all living beings.

Above the heavens, a scarlet preview slowly emerged, piercing the hearts of every original character:

[Next chapter: the sects' false masks, the filthy scandals of the old powers!]

[Seven Treasures Glazed and Blue Lightning Tyrant, two of the Upper Three Sects—their bloody original sins will be completely exposed!]

The sacred sects of the original work were glittering on the outside and rotten within.

Beneath the splendor of these famous sects lay filthy sins buried for ages.
