At that moment, the situation in the Douluo God Realm was dire. In fact, since its founding, the only event that had been this disastrous was the collapse of the Divine Dragon Realm in its final moments.
The human deities of the Douluo God Realm had not secured their rule through military might alone. Thus, everyone had always adhered to a "rules-based order."
That was also why the gods within this framework were utterly at a loss when someone demanded that they cut open their bellies to prove how many bowls of noodles they had eaten.
Naturally, these gods found it profoundly difficult to adjust when the Tang Family so decisively flipped the table.
The Tang Family, which had always demanded proof of how many bowls of noodles were in other people's bellies, was the first to abandon the rules whenever those rules worked against it.
In this world, those below always followed the example of those above. If the heads of the Tang Family behaved this way, its lesser branches naturally did too.
That was why Huo Yuhao had been taught to cheat after entering Shrek Academy in his previous life.
"I only follow rules that benefit me. Any rule that works against me, I refuse to follow." After the Tang Family entered the Divine Realm, this became the elevated form of the Shrek Seven Devils' original creed from Tang San's rise to power: "Those who dare not stir up trouble are mediocrities."
Tang San's sole oversight at that moment was this: he had forgotten that the way the Tang Family treated outsiders applied just as well within the family.
For instance, he had no idea that the rules he laid down were not quite so absolute in Tang Wutong's heart.
