Douluo Star Was Stunned? What Do You Mean Mortals Live Over a Thousand Years? (Please Keep Reading)

The Evil God King was not the only one who thought the Sky Screen was making a mess of things.

Even the God King of Goodness, renowned for her kindness, looked incredulous. "Haven't mortals always been expendable, generation after generation?"

"What is the point of comparing their lifespans? Shouldn't it compare the lifespans of us gods first?"

The God King of Goodness said it with earnest innocence, her pure face suggesting that all of this was only natural.

In the eyes of the gods, mortals were nothing worth mentioning. Only those with powerful Martial Souls and the potential to become gods deserved a second glance!

The rest of the mortals were far too insignificant in the gods' eyes!

In the Divine Realm, all the gods thought the same. They paid no heed to the Sky Screen's first comparison and had already begun making plans.

They were considering how to deal with Huaxia Star—or, more precisely, how to divide all the benefits it held.

With a planet that large, there would naturally be competition even among the gods.

And while the gods of the Divine Realm dismissed the matter,

outside the Pope's Palace on Douluo Continent, Bibi Dong watched the Sky Screen. Bewilderment filled her eyes as she asked herself,

"Does 'mortal lifespan' mean ordinary civilians, or does it include us Soul Masters?"

"If it includes Soul Masters, Douluo Star certainly won't lose to that other planet. Soul Masters are the ones who truly live long lives."

Everyone agreed wholeheartedly. After all, high-level Soul Masters—especially Titled Douluo—often lived for hundreds of years!

Some even lived for over a thousand years. Besides, Douluo Star had nothing to fear even if the comparison concerned ordinary people.

Qian Daoliu stepped forward. "Thanks to Spirit Hall's efforts over the years, mortals across Douluo Continent who awaken Martial Souls can receive their benefits and live longer lives."

"You could say that, through Spirit Hall's efforts, ordinary people on Douluo Continent now live to fifty or sixty at the very least!"

Pride rang in his voice, as though this were a magnificent achievement.

The leaders of Spirit Hall shared that pride, their faces beaming!

And they were not alone in believing this.

Across the continent, countless Soul Masters and commoners also approved of the lifespans ordinary people now enjoyed.

"Comparing lifespans? Then Douluo Star has this in the bag."

"With Martial Souls to help us, and Spirit Hall awakening them all these years, everyone on Douluo Star has a Martial Soul. Of course we live longer!"

"Unless something goes wrong, Douluo Star will win this round hands down!"

The people of Douluo Continent spoke with swelling pride.

It did not bother them in the slightest that awakening a Martial Soul still did not mean they could become Soul Masters.

In fact, far too few people across the continent could truly awaken a Martial Soul!

Many of Spirit Hall's efforts over the years had been obstructed by other powers. Local nobles and kings had no desire to see so many commoners with Martial Souls.

Outside the Star Dou Great Forest,

Tang San was just as certain that Douluo Star would emerge victorious.

Compared with the world of his previous life, this place was wonderful.

With the benefits of Martial Souls and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, ordinary people had no need to go hungry. Their lifespans naturally rose sharply.

There were other dangers, of course, but compared with not having to worry about food, they were hardly worth mentioning.

So Tang San, who carried the memories of two lives, declared firmly,

"This will be Douluo Star's first victory, but it certainly won't be our last!"

Xiao Wu, standing beside him, agreed with her third brother. By now, she already considered herself one of the humans!

Tang San was not the only one. His teacher Yu Xiaogang had exactly the same thought.

"Haha! They're comparing lifespans—and mortal lifespans at that. We're certain to win."

At Shrek Academy, a smug Yu Xiaogang assured the Shrek Seven Devils of this.

Ma Hongjun asked curiously, "Why, Teacher?"

"You don't know? Thanks to Spirit Hall's efforts over the years, the continent has more and more Soul Masters. Naturally, average lifespans have risen."

As Yu Xiaogang launched into a long-winded explanation,

everyone on Douluo Continent was brimming with confidence.

On Huaxia Star,

the residents of Tianjing City had grown curious about the lifespans of Douluo Star's people.

"Ordinary people on Douluo Star probably live a few hundred years on average, right?"

"After all, according to the Creator God, Douluo Star is a realm of Soul Masters like ours. It even has a Divine Realm."

At the Huaxia Federation's Supreme Council headquarters, council members gathered on a terrace and spoke as they watched the Sky Screen.

At their head stood the imposing federal speaker Xuan Yuan Tian, dressed in a dark dragon robe. As the first human on Huaxia Star,

he was also its strongest human at present, and thus qualified to receive a message from Chen Tian.

Just as Xuan Yuan Tian finished speaking, Shen Nong stroked his graying beard. Despite his compassionate face, he offered a very different view.

"Not necessarily. Huaxia Star has deep foundations, while none of us knows what sort of planet Douluo Star really is. I doubt it can match ours."

"After all, everyone on Huaxia Star is a Soul Master. Everyone has a chance to change their fate, and medical technology reaches everyone. That is a truly peaceful and prosperous age."

As Shen Nong spoke, the other federal council members nodded in agreement.

Above Huaxia Star, out in the cosmos, Chen Tian, who steered the planet, felt the same way.

"I can't speak for anything else, but how could a mere Douluo Star compare with my Huaxia Star? Conditions for ordinary people there are dreadful."

Recalling what he knew of Douluo Continent, Chen Tian spoke with absolute certainty.

In just a few words, Chen Tian had made Douluo Star sound worse than dogshit.

And the Sky Screen seemed ready to confirm his words.

The first comparison rang out, and the display quietly transformed.

[Dual comparison begins. The Sky Screen opens the comparison!]

[According to the Sky Screen's calculations, the current average mortal lifespan on Douluo Star is sixty-seven years!]

The moment the first answer appeared,

Soul Masters across Douluo Star cheered, convinced it was an impressive figure.

At Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong was somewhat dissatisfied, but she nodded her approval.

"Not bad. It seems Spirit Hall's efforts haven't been in vain."

Qian Daoliu also looked pleased. Generation after generation, the Qian Family had worked hard, and at last they had done something tangible for the continent.

The leaders of Spirit Hall wore different expressions, but none could hide a trace of smugness.

Even Tang San, outside the Star Dou Great Forest, was stunned despite his experience across two lifetimes.

"Remarkable! Truly remarkable!"

An average lifespan so many years longer than in his previous life left him shaken. It also made Tang San still more confident of the victory to come.

Yu Xiaogang planted his hands on his hips and announced to Ma Hongjun and the others,

"Just watch. This is the strength of Douluo Star. Huaxia Star is about to be crushed!"

Yu Xiaogang's confident tone swept away his usual dejection. He seemed to have already seen Douluo's victory.

What he had not imagined was the look on the faces of Xuan Yuan Tian and the others on Huaxia Star.

"Only sixty-seven years? On Huaxia Star, that's still a minor!"

"Douluo Star is that backward? How disappointing."

Shen Nong could scarcely believe a planet with a Soul Master civilization could lag so far behind.

And while the people of Huaxia Star lamented Douluo Star's decline,

the Sky Screen slowly spoke words that left the people of Douluo Star unable to believe their ears.

[Scanning Huaxia Star. Calculations begin!]

[Assessment of Huaxia Star complete. The average mortal lifespan on Huaxia Star is 1,458 years!]

As that crisp, emotionless voice fell silent, the reactions of the two planets reversed in an instant. One person's joy was another's sorrow; those words had never rung truer.

"How is that possible? Wait! Did the Sky Screen forget a decimal point?"

Yu Xiaogang's mouth hung open. He had begun to question his entire life.
