Aftermath: Lin Yu's Weakness and Choice! (Please Recommend, Please Check In)

The next live stream would be fifteen days later?

In the Live Stream Room, many people could not help but feel surprised when they saw the notification.

The timing had changed again?

It seemed that the intervals between the Prize-Winning Quiz Live Stream's sessions were not fixed either.

But no one knew what determined the length of those intervals.

As the live stream ended,

whether they had entered the Live Stream Room for the rewards or merely to watch the excitement, everyone chose to leave.

Meanwhile, atop a mountain in the forest behind Holy Soul Village,

Tang Hao, dressed in ragged clothes with disheveled hair, sat beneath a waterfall.

Beside him, a strange Blue Silver Grass that resembled a vine swayed gently in the breeze.

"Ah Yin, I'm sorry. I couldn't answer the last question correctly. Otherwise, I would definitely have used that wish to restore you completely and turn you back into a human."

"I didn't know the answer to this question either, but of course, even if I had known it, this reward would have been useless to you."

"I just don't know when the Prize-Winning Quiz Live Stream will ask another question with a reward that can help you..."

Sitting beside the strange Blue Silver Grass, Tang Hao looked at it and sighed with complicated emotions.

Hearing Tang Hao's words, the strange Blue Silver Grass immediately wound itself around his arm, as though comforting him.

Pain flashed through Tang Hao's eyes. He clutched his head in both hands, and the bitterness on his face deepened.

"Ah Yin, it's all because I'm useless!"

"You have a chance to speak with Xiao San now, but our identities cannot be exposed at the same time. Otherwise, Spirit Hall would find us too easily."

"So you still can't acknowledge Xiao San. Even he probably thinks I'm still just that ordinary blacksmith and drunkard. He likely never imagined that I'm the Clear Sky Douluo Yue Guan mentioned before..."

Ah Yin could not speak in her current Blue Silver Grass form, so she could only wrap her slender vine-like body around Tang Hao's arm and gently brush against him, seemingly trying to comfort him.

Elsewhere, in the Far North Land,

Snow Empress and Ice Empress, the two great rulers of the Far North Land, stood atop a snow mountain.

The place was filled with houses and palaces carved from ice and snow. Though it was Snow Empress's residence alone, it appeared exceptionally vibrant.

"Snow Empress, could it be that this Prize-Winning Quiz Live Stream only asks questions related to humans? If so, don't we have no hope of obtaining a way to survive the Heavenly Tribulation?"

After leaving the Live Stream Room, Ice Empress, dressed in a jade-green skirt and looking like a little girl with green twin tails, could not help frowning.

As soul beasts, they could cultivate without concern before reaching a Hundred-Thousand Year Cultivation.

However, once their cultivation surpassed one hundred thousand years, they would face a lightning tribulation upon reaching two hundred thousand years.

This sort of lightning tribulation was known among soul beasts as the Ferocious Beast Tribulation, and its power was extraordinarily immense!

Although soul beasts that could cultivate to one hundred thousand years were generally exceptionally gifted, fewer than one in a hundred could survive the Ferocious Beast Tribulation.

Moreover, beginning at two hundred thousand years, the Ferocious Beast Tribulation that came once every hundred thousand years would grow increasingly powerful, while the odds of surviving it would become ever lower.

At present, Snow Empress and Ice Empress had respectively reached nearly six hundred ninety thousand years and nearly three hundred ninety thousand years of cultivation.

They had both endured several lightning tribulations and had already reached their respective limits.

Neither of them had any confidence in surviving the next Heavenly Tribulation they would soon face.

For this reason, they had constantly been searching for ways to help themselves survive their next Heavenly Tribulation.

As for the Live Quiz System that had suddenly appeared on Douluo Continent,

while the major powers of the human world had focused their attention on its rewards, Snow Empress and Ice Empress had also found a way to make use of its punishments.

They could deliberately answer questions incorrectly and have the Live Stream Room deduct their cultivation, thereby avoiding the next hundred-thousand-year threshold.

That way, they would not have to suffer the Heavenly Tribulation.

As long as they carefully controlled their cultivation through this method, they could keep it forever at the limit they were capable of reaching without worrying about the Heavenly Tribulation.

But as the two great rulers of the Far North Land, both Snow Empress and Ice Empress were proud at heart. When faced with challenges that held both danger and opportunity, they still wanted more to seize the opportunity.

Thus, compared with having their cultivation deducted,

Snow Empress and Ice Empress still wanted to find a way to survive the lightning tribulation rather than deliberately reduce their cultivation to avoid it.

However, the discovery that the second question's reward was useful only to humans greatly troubled Ice Empress.

"Ice Empress, don't be too anxious. This is only the second question."

"Wasn't the first question's reward useful to us soul beasts as well? Let's wait a little longer. There will be more questions and rewards in the future. We will surely have more chances."

Beside her, Snow Empress, dressed in an elegant and luxurious white gown, with long snow-white hair, icy blue eyes, an aloof temperament, and flawless beauty, spoke coolly in response to Ice Empress's frown.

At the same time, in the Endless Sea, within the Demonic Whale Sea Area,

as the live stream ended, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King sleeping on the ocean floor opened his enormous scarlet eyes and gazed toward the distant human world.

This second question's reward is useless to me. I wonder when the Prize-Winning Quiz Live Stream will offer another reward that can help me.

In the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest, within a cavern deep underground,

the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest had gathered in a cavern filled with all kinds of glowing crystals.

At the center of the cavern's ceiling, a gigantic ice silkworm was sealed away. Ten golden rings covered its body.

Naturally, this was Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts, along with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Are these all the books our soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest have obtained over countless years from the human soul masters we killed and from their Storage Soul Guidance Devices?"

Inside the cavern, Di Tian looked at the enormous pile of books on the ground and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, that's all of them."

In response to Di Tian's question, Bi Ji folded her hands elegantly before her abdomen, nodded gently, and replied softly.

"Very well! Your task from now on is to read all these books. Do you understand?"

"As long as we know the answers, we must obtain this Live Stream Room's rewards. Even if they are useless to us, we can use them to trade with humans in the future."

His gaze slowly sweeping across the surroundings, Di Tian spoke in a deep voice.

"Everything... is for our Lord!"

While Di Tian was instructing the other ferocious beasts,

at the center of the cavern's ceiling, invisible spiritual power spread out from the crystal sealing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and permeated the books piled on the ground.

Meanwhile, in Windmill Village,

after the live stream ended, Lin Yu also withdrew from the Live Stream Room, his brows tightly furrowed.

From this live stream, he had discovered a very serious problem of his own.

He only knew some of the plot developments from Douluo Continent's main storyline.

But he knew absolutely nothing about the details of the Douluo Continent world, such as the Soul Guidance Empire, which had existed before the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire were founded and had invented Soul Tools.

Yet today's live stream question showed that many historical questions like this might appear in the future.

He could learn about these matters only by joining one of the major powers.

This gave Lin Yu a headache.

Did it seem he still had no choice but to join a faction?

On Douluo Continent, the powers with the richest collections of books should be Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and the Star Luo Imperial Family.

Among them, the Heaven Dou Empire was too weak, so he could rule it out immediately.

As for the Star Luo Imperial Family, its strength should be decent, but its emperors had historically been raised through cruel competition. They would probably be difficult to deal with, and joining them might leave him with too little freedom, so that was ruled out too!

Then should he choose the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or Spirit Hall?

Lin Yu sank into deep thought.

But after a moment, Lin Yu finally made his choice.
