When the voices comparing talents echoed once more from the Sky Screen, the entire Douluo Star was plunged into unprecedented attention.
On the street, the people who were discussing the Spirit Hall's unification of the continent all stopped in their tracks.
Inside the tavern, several Soul Master who were debating whether Huaxia Star or Douluo Star was stronger stopped arguing and looked up at the huge light screen that stretched across the sky.
Even the nobles who were usually aloof and looked down on ordinary people put down their wine glasses and turned their gaze to the Sky Screen.
They knew very well that what was about to be revealed would likely determine the future of Douluo Star.
After all, the impact of the previous rounds of comparisons was truly astonishing.
In the technological comparison, Huaxia Star won with an almost overwhelming advantage.
In Cultural Comparison, Huaxia Star, with its profound heritage and extensive tradition system, made the entire Douluo Star see the insurmountable gap between the two.
After the victory, Huaxia Star also received amazing rewards such as the Wisdom Halo and the Inherited Knowledge Memory.
At that moment, countless Douluo fans were green with envy.
Wisdom Halo!
Inherited Knowledge Memory!
Furthermore, with the enhancement of the wisdom of all the Huaxia Star citizens, these rewards mean far more than just the birth of a few geniuses for a planet.
This means that the entire civilization's learning ability, knowledge accumulation, and innovation speed could undergo earth-shattering changes.
A Soul Master might be able to become a powerful figure through their talent.
But how far will a Mingdu continuously accumulates knowledge and cultivates talent?
Just thinking about this is enough to send chills down the spines of countless Douluo Soul Master.
"Shouldn't it be our turn Douluo Star, this time?"
In Heaven Dou City, a young Soul Master stared intently at the Sky Screen and couldn't help but speak.
"When comparing talent, shouldn't we be comparing innate ability and strength? In terms of Soul Master talent, our Douluo Star might not necessarily lose!"
"Exactly! Our Douluo Star has been passed down for so many years, surely we can find a few decent geniuses?"
"Don't forget, there have been so many Titled Douluo in history! And even powerful figures who became gods! Are all of these fake?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of agreement immediately arose from the surrounding crowd.
For many Douluo Continent fans, talent remains their ultimate source of confidence.
They can admit that their Soul Guidance Technology is inferior to that of Huaxia Star.
Their cultural heritage is not as good as Huaxia Star's, and they can only accept that.
But if we can't even compare to them in terms of talent, then what is there for Douluo Star to be proud of?
Young Soul Master, especially those from ordinary families, pinned all their hopes on this comparison.
In their view, although they did not have a distinguished family background, a powerful sect as a backer, or the power to influence the situation on the continent.
But as long as one possesses exceptional talent and can become a true powerhouse, one can ultimately change their destiny.
This is a shared belief among countless young people in the Douluo Continent.
However, as more and more people joined the discussion, the initially high spirits gradually became more complicated.
"But the question is, can all the geniuses on our Douluo Star really grow up to be what they are?"
Suddenly, a middle-aged Soul Master asked a question that was difficult to answer.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding noise immediately subsided.
The Soul Master ignored the strange looks from the crowd, simply raised his head, gazed at the Sky Screen, and continued speaking.
"When I was young, I saw many exceptionally talented Soul Master."
"Some awakened top-tier Martial Soul, some broke through to the Soul Grandmaster realm at a young age, and some were personally accepted as disciples by sect elders."
"But after all these years, how many of those people have truly grown up?"
"Some people are trapped in bottlenecks, some die in battles, and some, despite possessing considerable talent, are stuck at the level of low-level Soul Master for life due to a lack of resources."
"Aren't these people talented?"
After he finished speaking, silence fell over the room.
Many people subconsciously lowered their heads, thinking of the people they knew.
In the Douluo Continent, talent is indeed important.
Beyond talent, there are also family, sect, resources, background, and all sorts of entanglements of interests.
For ordinary people to get ahead, they often need to put in several times, or even dozens of times, more effort.
Even so, one may not necessarily receive a fair chance.
This reality is already ingrained in the bones of many people.
At this moment, the voice from the Sky Screen finally rang out again.
[In the past, Douluo Star Douluo Star countless talents.]
[In the vast river of history, countless brilliant figures have emerged, shining like stars in the sky.]
It is the birth and growth of these talents that has allowed Douluo Star to continue to this day, forming the Soul Master civilization we know today.
As the sound from the Sky Screen faded, the previously dark light curtain suddenly lit up.
The boundless river of history seemed to unfold in the void.
Ancient mountains and rivers, vast forests, and majestic cities—one scene after another appears before our eyes.
Immediately afterwards, figures emerged from the depths of history.
Some people achieve fame at a young age, breaking conventional perceptions with their amazing talent.
Some people dedicate themselves to research and, after countless failures, forge new paths.
Some people hone their unparalleled strength through life-and-death battles, relying on their own Martial Soul.
Some people, though not born into a prominent family, rely on their own perseverance and opportunities to reach heights that ordinary Soul Master can hardly attain.
Their appearances may not be the same.
The paths they took were all different.
But at that moment, when these figures were revealed one by one by the Sky Screen, the entire Douluo Star seemed to be seized by an invisible force.
"That is..."
An elderly Soul Master with white hair suddenly stood up.
His eyes were fixed on the Sky Screen, and a hint of excitement appeared in his cloudy eyes.
"Those are our sect's ancestors recorded in the annals!"
I've seen his name in ancient books before!
"Wait, the one next to him too! Didn't he disappear thousands of years ago?"
Exclamations of surprise rang out one after another.
Many ordinary people who were not originally interested in history also widened their eyes at this moment.
They might not know the full story of these people, but they could tell from the reactions of the surrounding Soul Master that these people were no ordinary individuals.
They once left a significant mark on the history of Douluo Star.
Some of them even changed the course of an era.
And now, these names, which had been buried deep in the past, have finally reappeared before everyone's eyes.
"So our Douluo Star once had such a glorious past!"
"So many powerful individuals, so many geniuses! No wonder the Soul Master civilization has developed to this point!"
"If all these people were to grow up, how powerful would Douluo Star become?"
In an instant, the emotions of the Douluo people surged.
The oppression that had been hanging over them seemed to dissipate slightly because of the appearance of these historical figures.
The young Soul Master, in particular, were filled with excitement.
They seemed to see the golden age of Douluo Star, and the sight of countless predecessors paving their own paths with their talent and perseverance.
Even when facing a powerful opponent like Huaxia Star, Douluo Star was not without resources from the start.
This planet has also given birth to countless amazing geniuses!
However, just as everyone's emotions were rising, the scene in the Sky Screen suddenly changed.
The once brilliant river of history has been shrouded in unsettling shadows.
Some of those once-promising geniuses were forced to halt their progress.
Some people have clearly reached the threshold of a higher level, but due to some invisible obstacle, they are unable to take another step forward.
Some people who originally had bright futures gradually disappeared over the long years, and even their names were not preserved intact.
The Douluo citizens who had just been cheering were suddenly stunned.
What happened?
Why did those people stop cultivating?
"Aren't they incredibly talented? With their strength, what could possibly stop them?"
Questions arose one after another.
Some people instinctively tried to find the answer, while others frowned, vaguely realizing something.
The Sky Screen, however, did not give them much time to think.
The next moment, that cold yet grand voice rang out again.
[But for these talented individuals, the challenges they face are not merely the difficulties and obstacles on their path of cultivation.]
They also have to endure the injustices of the world, and the darkness hidden behind the glory.
