Every Last Person a Soul Master! Utterly Absurd? (Please Keep Reading)

On Huaxia Star, the Federation councilors of the present day

were each proud of the system of equality the Sky Screen had described. It was the very foundation of the Huaxia Federation.

Chen Tian himself had established it as national policy. That was why the councilors, including Xuan Yuan Tian, believed in it so deeply.

"Without this system of equality, if we were truly like Douluo Star, how could Huaxia have come this far?"

The people around Xuan Yuan Tian wholeheartedly agreed with his sudden reflection.

At the same time, countless ordinary people across Huaxia Star felt the same.

"I never thought Douluo Star would still be so backward. We on Huaxia Star set out on the path of equality long ago."

"Exactly. Equality is one of Huaxia Star's proudest national policies. No one can resist its appeal."

"One day, we can bring the system of Huaxia Star to Douluo Star!"

As the Soul Masters of Huaxia Star made these confident declarations, high above them,

Chen Tian watched the Sky Screen, agreeing with the reasons it had laid out so far.

"With no noble class under its system of equality, Huaxia Star really is better than Douluo Star by a billion little points!"

"But that isn't the real reason our citizens live so long."

No sooner had Chen Tian spoken than the Sky Screen picked up where he left off.

The scenes of equality on Huaxia Star faded for the moment,

while Yu Xiaogang and the others still questioned what they had seen.

Then the Sky Screen's voice sounded for a third time. This announcement drew even more attention

and left the Soul Masters of Douluo Star staring as though they had witnessed a miracle.

[Third reason for the long lives of Huaxia Star's ordinary citizens: everyone on Huaxia Star has the chance to become a Soul Master. Every single person can become a Soul Master!]

At those words, it was not only Yu Xiaogang who was stunned.

Even those in Spirit Hall who firmly believed Huaxia Star represented the future were dumbfounded.

"Everyone a Soul Master? You must be joking. That's impossible."

Even Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, who had always admired Huaxia Star, voiced his doubts, let alone the other Spirit Hall leaders.

Beneath Ghost Douluo's gloomy expression, he offered an argument the others readily accepted.

"If everyone is a Soul Master, how many Soul Beasts would they need for Soul Rings? It can't be possible."

"I'd guess it's like the policy Spirit Hall is carrying out: giving everyone a chance to awaken as a Soul Master."

Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu agreed with Ghost Douluo.

"Indeed, Ghost Elder is right. If everyone really became a Soul Master, there simply wouldn't be enough Soul Beasts."

But just after Bibi Dong finished speaking, Qian Daoliu thought of something.

"If it's false, why does the Sky Screen present it so seriously? Could it really be a lie?"

"Besides, Huaxia Star's average lifespan of a thousand years wasn't false."

"If we reject this reason, wouldn't that mean everything it said before was false too?"

Qian Daoliu's question left everyone silent!

For now, there seemed to be only one thing they could do: wait for the Sky Screen to explain.

Qian Daoliu had put it bluntly, but his reasoning was sound. Many of Spirit Hall's leaders accepted it.

At Shrek Academy, however, Yu Xiaogang had questioned everything the Sky Screen said about Huaxia Star from the start.

After hearing its new explanation for their longevity, he raised his head haughtily, put on his Grandmaster's air, and began lecturing the Shrek Seven Devils.

"What a joke. If everyone were a Soul Master, how many Soul Beasts would they need for Soul Rings? It's utterly impossible.

"Besides, not everyone has the chance to become a Soul Master. Most are merely ordinary people living out unremarkable lives. They have no chance of standing alongside us."

"See? I told you the Sky Screen was fabricating things. Huaxia Star isn't what it claims. A thousand-year lifespan? It's all a lie."

As Yu Xiaogang asserted his authority before the Shrek Seven Devils, a trace of doubt appeared on Ning Rongrong's face. She had already come to believe the Sky Screen.

But the idea of "everyone a Soul Master" seemed impossible to them all.

Even Oscar and Ma Hongjun, the two common-born Soul Masters who most wanted it to be true, shook their heads and rejected the Sky Screen's explanation.

While Yu Xiaogang and the Shrek Seven Devils refused to believe it,

Tang San, on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, was just like his teacher. He regarded the Sky Screen's words with utter skepticism.

"Xiao Wu, see? I told you I was right. That so-called Huaxia Star must be fake. I worried for nothing.

"Equality? What a joke! How could such a system exist in this world?"

Having lived two lives, Tang San had always yearned for the life of the upper class. He had no wish to see the privileges of the nobility abolished.

Hearing her Third Brother's words, Xiao Wu nodded without hesitation. "Yes, Third Brother is right. It's fake."

With her mind consumed by love, Xiao Wu needed no reason to agree with Tang San unconditionally.

Tang Hao, standing nearby, wanted to stop them, but he could not find the words. The Sky Screen's claim was simply too outrageous.

Across Douluo Star, people on both the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent looked up with doubt in their eyes.

The reason the Sky Screen had given struck them as absurd. No one could believe that everything it said was right.

"If everyone really were a Soul Master, that would be wonderful. But it's impossible."

"Becoming a Soul Master isn't so easy. How could those of us with zero Innate Soul Power ever hope to become one? It's nothing but a vain dream."

But could Huaxia Star truly make everyone a Soul Master?

Though the people of the two continents had no faith in the Sky Screen's words, a small flame of hope still hid deep in their hearts.

Who did not long to become a Soul Master? They were no different.

If humans could not believe the Sky Screen, the Soul Beasts were even less inclined to.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, on the shore of the Lake of Life,

lifelike dragon patterns adorned Di Tian's magnificent black robes. His dark-purple hair made him especially striking.

He gazed at the Sky Screen, turning its latest announcement over in his mind.

Then Di Tian declared with absolute certainty: "Impossible!"

"It's false. If everyone could truly become a Soul Master, what would happen to the Soul Beasts? Could there really be that many of us?"

At that moment, Di Tian did not believe a word of the Sky Screen's claim.

Bi Ji, gentle in manner and dressed in a green gown, spoke next.

"Di Tian, don't dwell on it. Even if that claim is false, I'm sure Huaxia Star has extraordinary beings and powers. Perhaps they could change the future of the Soul Beasts."

That prospect did interest Di Tian!

But how could they make contact with Huaxia Star?

Remembering that Huaxia Star was speeding toward Douluo Star, Di Tian suddenly felt that goal might not be far away.

"Perhaps we'll be able to travel to Huaxia Star soon. A journey through space?"

As Di Tian imagined it, Soul Masters from Huaxia Star began appearing on the Sky Screen to tell their own stories...
