The Sky Screen Descended, and I Was the Question Setter

"After all these years of research, I discovered a truth about the Tang Sect's founding ancestor, Lord Sea God Tang San."

"What truth?"

"The truth is that the Tang Sect Secret Arts, passed down for ten thousand years, very likely weren't created by the Tang Sect's founding ancestor."

"How is that possible? Where did you get that bullshit conclusion? I don't believe it!"

"Let me walk you through my analysis. You can draw your conclusion afterward."

"The first explicit record in the history books of the Tang Sect's founding ancestor using the Tang Sect Secret Arts was when he first entered Shrek Academy and fought one of its founders, the Immovable Wisdom King, Zhao Wuji."

"At the time, the Tang Sect's founding ancestor was only twelve, and it had only been six years since he awakened his martial soul. Yet at that age, his mastery of the Tang Sect Secret Arts had already reached the pinnacle of perfection, enough to make the Immovable Wisdom King, a Soul Saint, suffer. That alone doesn't make sense."

"So, judging by his age, no matter how monstrously talented the Tang Sect's founding ancestor was, he couldn't have created the Tang Sect Secret Arts himself."

"Bullshit! With the Tang Sect's founding ancestor's genius, what would be so difficult about creating the Tang Sect Secret Arts even as a newborn? Your conclusion is nothing but twisted reasoning and utter nonsense!"

"You're the one spouting bullshit! I've researched the Tang Sect's founding ancestor for so long. Do you understand Lord Sea God better, or do I?!"

Somewhere in Shrek City, voices rose in an argument about the Tang Sect's founding ancestor, Sea God Tang San.

Even after ten thousand years had passed and the Tang Sect had declined, its founding ancestor, Tang San, was still revered by the people of the Douluo Continent.

Yet the debates about him had never dwindled, because he was the goal every Soul Master on the Douluo Continent aspired to reach.

"Lin Yang, do you think what that person just said was right?"

"Me? Do I think he was right? The Tang Sect Secret Arts weren't created by Tang San at all."

"You? How could you say that! He's the Tang Sect's founding ancestor, the legendary Lord Sea God! How could you question him?!"

Hearing Lin Yang's answer, Xiao Xiao, who stood beside him, was deeply displeased. Her little cheeks puffed up with anger as she challenged him.

"Weren't you the one who asked? I just told the truth. What are you getting angry for?"

Lin Yang did not back down in the slightest. He did not care what the people of the Douluo Continent thought.

As someone who had transmigrated here, he knew the truth. There was no way he would lie about this, even if Xiao Xiao had saved him earlier.

"What evidence do you have to prove you're telling the truth? If you don't have any, then you're slandering him just like that person."

Xiao Xiao was furious. She was also an admirer of Tang San and had grown up hearing his legends, which was why she had asked Lin Yang what he thought.

"Evidence? I'll show you the evidence right now."

The instant Lin Yang finished speaking, auspicious clouds suddenly churned in the skies above the Douluo Continent, and strange phenomena appeared one after another.

Countless streams of purple aura came from the east, bringing myriad auspicious signs.

A biting wind swept out of the Far North, turning heaven and earth white.

The light of life shone from the Star Dou Great Forest, stirring the soul beasts.

Specks of flowing light scattered into the ocean, and the seas surged.

Finally, everything converged in the sky, forming the Seven-Colored Divine Light, filled with boundless mysteries.

Every living being on the Douluo Continent was drawn to the Seven-Colored Divine Light at once, as though the sky held an endless allure that no being could resist.

Whether they were ferocious beasts in the Far North, the Star Dou Great Forest, or the oceans, or Super Douluos and Peerless Douluos among humans, they were all the same.

Every living being looked up, as though something was about to be born within the Seven-Colored Divine Light.

At the sight, Lin Yang was dumbfounded. He had only wanted to show off a little. How could he have expected something like this to happen?

Under the gaze of every living being, the Seven-Colored Divine Light gathered in the sky abruptly spread out, filling the heavens and forming a screen of light that covered the entire sky.

Beneath the Sky Screen lay a special space. Anyone on the Douluo Continent could see that space, no matter where they were.

At that moment, rows of large characters imbued with divine resonance gradually appeared on the Sky Screen.

At the same time, a solemn, majestic voice rang out from within it.

[The Sky Screen quiz begins. Participants will now be selected at random. Participants may enter the Sky Screen Space to answer questions. Correct answers will earn rewards.]

[The quiz rules will now be announced.]

[Rule one: participants must not attack one another within the space. Violators will die!]

[Rule two: participants must not deliberately refuse to answer questions. Violators will die!]

[Rule three: participants will be selected at random, with no restrictions on the type of living being. After each question is answered, the number of participants will increase.]

As the voice faded, the rows of divinely resonant characters on the Sky Screen slowly vanished.

Across the Douluo Continent, whether in forests, oceans, cities, or snowy plateaus, beams of Seven-Colored Divine Light suddenly rose.

Each beam of Seven-Colored Divine Light represented a participant.

Meanwhile, inside the mind of the stunned Lin Yang, that solemn, majestic voice rang out again.

[Congratulations on becoming the question setter. From now on, you will set every question. Please complete the first question now.]

[Question scope: the Shrek Seven Devils and the founders of Shrek from ten thousand years ago.]

[You may currently designate one special participant to take part in the quiz and establish rules for them.]

[Rewards: after each question is answered, soul power increases by 10 ranks, one Heaven-Gifted Soul Ring is awarded, and the age of every soul ring increases by 100,000 years. After every three questions are answered, you will receive an additional reward. (The initial age of a newly added soul ring will be based on the previous soul ring.)]

Without hesitation, Lin Yang directly submitted the question from earlier.

After that, he was utterly overwhelmed with shock.

He had only transmigrated to the Douluo Continent a week ago. His soul power and martial soul had only appeared automatically when he arrived.

His soul power had been at rank 11 when it first appeared, and apart from a single soul ring, he had nothing. Now, all at once, everything had fallen into place.

Before he could recover from his shock, Xiao Xiao, who was just as stunned, drew his attention back and spoke with disbelief written all over her face.

"Th-this was really your doing?!"

"You were the one who saved me before. Do you think I have that kind of power?" Lin Yang asked in return.

Two days earlier, Lin Yang had encountered a hundred-year Wind Baboon in the wilderness. Unfortunately, he had lost the fight and been saved by Xiao Xiao, who happened to be passing by. That was how the two had met.

"No..." Xiao Xiao hesitated. "But this is far too much of a coincidence."

Just as Xiao Xiao finished speaking, the voice rang out from the Sky Screen once again, and a multiple-choice question appeared before everyone's eyes.

[Question one: the true origins of Tang San, the first Tang Sect Leader.]

[Please make your choice from the following options.]

[One: the illegitimate son of Bibi Dong, the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, and Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect.]

[Two: the son of Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, who grew up in the Clear Sky Sect.]

[Three: a soul from another world who transmigrated to the Douluo Continent and possessed a child in the womb.]

[Four: the son of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang and his younger paternal cousin, Liu Erlong.]

[You have 10 minutes to answer. Please make your choice.]

Seeing the question, Xiao Xiao looked at Lin Yang with uncertainty in her eyes.

"Could it really be a coincidence?"
