For Ye Guyi, who cultivated a bright heart, her first reaction when things went wrong in her life was often to wonder whether she had done something wrong.
That temperament meant she rarely vented her negative emotions on the world outside herself.
In fact, throughout the ten thousand years leading down to her generation, the Angel Clan had always regarded the Jialing Pass Campaign-which Yu Xiaogang's compiled "History of Douluo" defined as the ultimate confrontation between good and evil-as merely a grander Soul Master tournament, aside from the matter of the Fallen Ones.
It was like Qian Daoliu losing to Tang Chen on land and to Bo Saixi at sea: nothing more than the ordinary succession of the powerful.
To Soul Masters with angel martial souls, the Douluo Continent had already entered garbage time during the Spirit Hall period of the pre-Tang San era.
Where was the sanctity in an organization that championed the supremacy of Soul Masters while gradually marginalizing the Light Church era's ideals of caring for the old, weak, sick, and disabled, and loving both oneself and others?
Thus, Angel Soul Masters generally believed that the Spirit Hall period was not some "golden age worth remembering, destroyed by the Demon King Tang San," but an age of might above all and moral decay that had ultimately suffered heavenly retribution.
Over those ten thousand years, their explanation for the countless hardships they suffered was often this: the Divine Realm had heard the suffering of the people oppressed by Spirit Hall in places such as Gengxin City, and so had destroyed Spirit Hall, that rotten city upon the earth.
Their ancestors had benefited from Spirit Hall. Thus, however much blood had been shed because of Spirit Hall, they had to shed just as much themselves.
