[Congratulations, host, on receiving a critical Exposure Reward: Soul Power breakthrough to level twenty. For exposing Tang San's death, you received critical Exposure Rewards: World Painting [world-class], [Immortal Herb Compendium]!] [Congratulations, host, on receiving critical World Rewards: World Soul Ring x1, Karmic Soul Ring x1... For causing Tang San's death, you received critical World Rewards: inheritance of Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill, Purple Demon Eye... Tang San Karmic Substitute.]
The Exposure System's notifications rang furiously through his mind.
Streaks of golden light instantly descended upon Mosheng Fei.
Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!
[Level eighteen!] [Level nineteen!!] [Level twenty!!!]
Mosheng Fei's Soul Power instantly broke through to level twenty. At the same time, a painting that reflected the world appeared in his mind.
A second Soul Ring also appeared on both his first Martial Soul and his second Martial Soul.
[Shengfei Pen: Second Soul Skill, World Cause (can alter the world's cause and effect and manifest it)] [Scapegoat: Second Soul Skill, Atonement (during Atonement, you can choose whose sins to bear and obtain one hundred percent of that person's strength)] [World Painting (world-class): contains a small world and can reflect everything in the world (people, Soul Beasts...).]
Whoosh!!!
After savoring the final fruits of his harvest, Mosheng Fei let out a long breath.
His mind raced as he considered the rewards he had received this time.
"I need to sort through this carefully!"
"Wait... that's not right!!"
"The world's rewards seem to complement the Exposure System's rewards!!!"
A bold idea instantly surfaced in Mosheng Fei's mind.
"The Shengfei Pen's second Soul Skill looks like a duplicate of its first Soul Skill, but thinking about it carefully... the things the Shengfei Pen draws can indeed exist, but there are plenty of restrictions-Soul Power, distance, even time."
"But the second Soul Skill is more like an enhanced version of the first, or even something specifically designed to work with the World Painting reward!"
"As for inheriting Tang San's belongings after killing him, the Scapegoat Martial Soul's second Soul Skill, and the Tang San Karmic Substitute... isn't this just the world fucking asking me to replace Tang San??"
Boom!!!
An explosion went off in Mosheng Fei's mind, as though he had grasped something.
What the fuck was the relationship between the Exposure System and the World Will?
He could inherit Tang San's belongings after killing him.
Why had it specifically rewarded him with the World Painting and a world-class Soul Ring, while the Soul Skill enhanced the manifestation of painted objects?
After killing Tang San, he could inherit his things, while the Scapegoat's second Soul Skill let him obtain other people's strength.
Mosheng Fei closed his eyes. Soon, he sorted out the matters in his mind one by one.
Both of his second Soul Skills were meant to work with the World Painting. This world was enticing him to kill Tang San, after which he could inherit Tang San's belongings.
But because it feared the Asura God, he could not openly kill Tang San in the Douluo World. That was why it had rewarded him with the World Painting: it wanted him to kill Tang San inside the World Painting, outside the Douluo World, inherit his belongings, and even replace him.
Or perhaps there was a deeper meaning...
"Scapegoat: Atonement!"
Mosheng Fei's second Martial Soul slowly appeared. A moment later, it connected to the Tang San Karmic Substitute, and Mosheng Fei's face began to change. Before long, he looked exactly like Tang San.
Mosheng Fei casually summoned the Shengfei Pen and drew a mirror.
In the mirror, Mosheng Fei wore Tang San's face as he slowly raised both hands, a Clear Sky Hammer in his left and Blue Silver Grass in his right.
A smile slowly curled across Mosheng Fei's lips.
"Interesting. Things are getting more entertaining by the moment."
"From now on, the one doing bad deeds will be the Outer Realm Demonic Devil Tang San!"
"The one doing good deeds will be the witness to history, Mosheng Fei!!"
"With the World Painting added to the mix, tsk, tsk... Tang San, oh Tang San. The grudge from that sword strike, the World Will targeting you... get ready to be hunted by everyone across three worlds and three eras!!!"
Mosheng Fei had a bold idea in mind.
He would use the World Painting to directly reflect three worlds and three eras... pull everyone into the painting, then add a rule: if someone died in the painting, their counterpart in the real world would die as well.
But putting it into practice would still take time. At the very least, he needed to enter all three eras and paint them into the Painting World.
"Then let's start with the Douluo I Era!!!"
Standing atop the highest point of the ruined Spirit Hall, Mosheng Fei waved one hand.
The World Painting appeared at once, reflecting the Douluo I Era.
The main figures appeared clearly in Mosheng Fei's mind.
After the battle in Heaven Dou City, Tang San had died, leaving Xiao Wu utterly heartbroken. Under Asura's guidance, Yu Xiaogang had contacted Shrek Academy, and Oscar and Ning Rongrong had gathered. Before long, Tang San would be resurrected.
As for how Oscar and Ning Rongrong could resurrect Tang San before they had matured, that was the Asura God's problem.
"With a shameless bastard like the Asura God, he might just bestow two Second-Level God inheritances and resurrect him with divine power."
Inside Heaven Dou City.
That day, under the Sea God's oppressive aura, Angel Holy Light had appeared around the disguised Crown Prince Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue), accidentally exposing Qian Renxue's identity. She had now returned to Spirit Hall.
"Tsk, tsk, what a pity. Without that bullshit swapping-a-cat-for-the-crown-prince scheme, that Nation-Stealing Plan, Qian Renxue probably could have become the Angel God early on. What chance would Tang San have had then?"
"But after my exposure, it's still not too late for any of this."
After reflecting the entire era, Mosheng Fei did not immediately pull everyone into the Painting World.
Right now, the Painting World contained only the Douluo I Era. Pulling its people inside would be little different from leaving them in the Douluo World. Although he could kill Tang San ahead of time, Tang San had his two divine daddies in the Douluo I World. No matter how many times he killed him, Tang San could still be resurrected.
He might as well give Tang San some time to grow and acquire more things before finding another way to kill him.
Just look at what had dropped the last time he killed Tang San. The man was so poor that even the cultivation techniques from his previous life had dropped.
"I can test whether the Painting World really works the way I think it does. If it does, I can let Qian Renxue meet... Huo Yuhao from ten thousand years in the future ahead of time."
Inside the Angel Temple.
[Painting World character: Qian Renxue] [Identity: Angel heir, divine-grade Martial Soul, innate level-twenty Soul Power.] [Appearance: sixteen-year-old girl, golden hair and blue eyes, six wings on her back, fair skin... long, shapely legs... white stockings and high heels.]
Looking at Qian Renxue in the Painting World, Mosheng Fei nodded in satisfaction.
All she lacked now was a little spark of life.
"Then!"
"Qian Renxue, enter the painting in spirit!!"
"I'll take you to witness Huo Yuhao, the child of destiny ten thousand years from now!!!"
Whoosh!!!
The world before Qian Renxue's eyes instantly went dark. A moment later, the scenery inside Spirit Hall slowly came into view. Looking down over her body, Qian Renxue felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
Just then, a figure slowly appeared.
"Who are you?"
Mosheng Fei's mind raced, and a smile slowly curled across his lips.
"Guardian of the world, heir to the Angel God, future Angel God Qian Renxue!"
"I am the executor chosen by the World Will, an observer of history, and the chronicler of Douluo's history!!"
"Of course, you can also call me the witness to history!!"
A thunderous roar instantly resounded in Qian Renxue's mind. A moment later, the wariness in her eyes faded, slowly giving way to respect, and she bowed in greeting.
"Greetings, Senior Mosheng Fei!!!"
Out in the world, your identity was whatever you gave yourself.
