Two timelines.
Yu Xiaogang shouted himself hoarse:
"The Sky Screen is fabricating this! I developed all those theories myself."
"How could I have used Bibi Dong to plagiarize Spirit Hall's theories?"
"You have to believe me. I'm the Grandmaster!"
"I'm universally acknowledged as the continent's foremost theoretical expert!"
The Shrek Seven Devils shook their heads and said:
"Teacher, whether what you're saying is right or wrong..."
"Your reputation on the Douluo Continent is ruined."
Little by little...
A trace of disappointment crept into Tang San's eyes as he looked at Yu Xiaogang.
On the Sky Screen, the two middle-aged Yu Xiaogangs were arrogant and defiant.
But both had broken past fifty years of age while still at level 29.
That young Yu Xiaogang-Su Chen-had slapped both of them in the face with his strength.
The absolute theories the Grandmaster kept spouting were nothing but a joke before Su Chen's martial soul.
Flender patted Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder and said:
"My good brother, even I can't help you now."
"You'd better watch yourself from now on!"
Little by little...
A trace of disgust entered Liu Erlong's gaze as she looked at Yu Xiaogang.
The two Yu Xiaogangs in these timelines were just like those two middle-aged men on the Sky Screen.
Neither was any good.
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's tears spilled despite herself:
"Xiao Gang, are theories really more important than me?"
"And I was just your pawn for plagiarizing theories, wasn't I?"
At her words, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo spoke with murderous intent:
"Your Holiness, do you need us to act?"
Bibi Dong said:
"We don't know whether the Sky Screen is showing the truth."
"Let's observe it a little longer."
But in truth?
Bibi Dong could not let go of her pride.
Nor could she believe that Yu Xiaogang had approached her for the sake of theories.
Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi's face was full of disgust:
"So this Yu Xiaogang is a fraud who deceives the world and steals his reputation."
"No wonder he broke past fifty while still at level 29!"
Every soul master on the island nodded in agreement.
This Yu Xiaogang was utterly shameless.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen crushed the armrest of the clan leader's chair in his grip:
"I have no swindler of a son named Yu Xiaogang."
"Su Chen is my true son!"
Yu Tianheng also nodded involuntarily:
"Su Chen is my true, worthy uncle."
Everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was saying the same thing:
"Su Chen is the glory of our clan."
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi laughed. "That old fellow Yu Yuanzhen must be absolutely furious, right?"
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo laughed in turn and said:
"Whether the words on the Sky Screen are true or false, Yu Xiaogang's reputation in this timeline is already ruined!"
"Now the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has thoroughly lost face across the continent."
The Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao said:
"I heard Xiaosan is Yu Xiaogang's disciple, correct?"
"How could Tang Hao entrust his son to a thing like that?"
The entire clan sneered. "That Tang Hao brought no end of trouble down on us."
"It serves Tang Hao right!"
Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang shouted himself hoarse. "The Sky Screen is fabricating this!"
"I'm not a fraud who deceives the world and steals his reputation."
"All those theories are my original work."
"That passage is utter nonsense."
But no one at Shrek Academy listened to his explanations.
They were all watching Su Chen's image on the Sky Screen with gleaming eyes.
The Sky Screen Space-Time.
Su Chen, the two Yu Xiaogangs, and Tang San had no idea that the mysterious Sky Screen Broadcast was already livestreaming them.
Still less did they know that the Yu Xiaogangs of the two original timelines—the novel's timeline and the Anime Timeline—had already lost all standing and reputation.
Xiao Gang exclaimed in shock, "Why isn't your martial soul Luo Sanpao?"
Gangzi asked in astonishment, "What exactly did you do? Did your martial soul mutate?"
Tang San was no fool.
The strength Su Chen had displayed completely overwhelmed both his teachers.
Su Chen smiled faintly and said:
"Luo Sanpao is simply a heavenly treasure squandered in your hands."
"He clearly had the chance to become a divine dragon, yet you insisted on feeding him radishes until he became a pig."
"If I were you, I'd feel I'd let down such an incredible martial soul."
Xiao Gang and Gangzi flushed scarlet at his words.
Yet their gazes burned as they watched the Golden Sacred Dragon between heaven and earth.
They spoke in unison. "Could Luo Sanpao actually have the potential to evolve into the Golden Sacred Dragon?"
Fervor and greed surged within the two Gangzis.
If they could steal Su Chen's method of turning Luo Sanpao into the Golden Sacred Dragon...
Then they could cover up the greatest shame of their lives.
Namely, their external beast martial souls, with bodies like dogs and shapes like pigs.
Then they would become Golden Sacred Dragons that shook the continent.
When that happened, their father, Yu Yuanzhen, would surely kneel and beg them to return to the clan.
After all, the Golden Sacred Dragon was far stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
Soon, Tang San approached Su Chen with the utmost respect.
He bowed and cupped his fist. "Greetings, Teacher."
"Ding! Congratulations, host. Tang San has voluntarily requested to become your disciple." "As long as the host accepts him as a disciple, the reward will increase your combat time to 10 seconds."
Su Chen's face twitched.
He could only accept Tang San as his disciple.
He had to admit, this system was stingy as hell.
Su Chen cursed inwardly:
Bro System, could you be a little more generous?
Ten seconds of combat time is too short.
Are there any other rewards?
The system's mechanical voice rang out:
"Ding!" "The system is forcibly issuing a mission to the host." "Take Bibi Dong as your disciple within three days." "Success will grant a reward of one million Gold Soul Coins." "Failure will strip the host of all strength." "Host, you have no choice."
Su Chen instantly lost his composure:
Bro System, you really don't treat your host like a person at all.
Bibi Dong is currently a Peerless Douluo with twin martial souls.
With only ten seconds of combat time, can I possibly take her as my disciple?
System, are you joking?
The system answered as mechanically as ever:
"You have only three days." "Once the deadline passes, you will be stripped of all your strength." "Host, you have no choice!"
Su Chen wanted to curse up a storm.
But the system said, "If you cannot take the Bibi Dong of the present timeline as your disciple, you can switch to another timeline."
Enlightenment instantly washed over Su Chen like sacred nectar poured over his head.
There was a very good period in the original story.
Namely, before Bibi Dong had been subjected to Qian Xunji's secret-chamber assault.
If he could travel through spacetime and go to Spirit Hall at that time...
With his ten seconds of combat time, although he could not defeat Qian Xunji immediately...
He could still intimidate him.
As long as he took Bibi Dong away, the timeline would change as well.
If Bibi Dong became my disciple...
The Bibi Dong of this timeline probably wouldn't hate the world so much.
This was also what a transmigrator like him most wanted to do.
Rewrite Bibi Dong's tragic ending in the original story.
This woman was truly too pitiful.
But if I change the fact that she was assaulted in the secret chamber...
Wouldn't Qian Renxue disappear?
Su Chen had watched the Butterfly Effect film series in his previous life.
He understood that changing the past would inevitably change the future.
But the system interjected:
"Qian Renxue might disappear from the current timeline." "But that does not mean she would disappear from other timelines as well."
With that pointer from the system...
The blockage in Su Chen's mind instantly cleared.
To Qian Renxue, a Bibi Dong who had never suffered the secret-chamber assault...
Was her mother, yet not a mother who fulfilled that role.
If Su Chen traveled through spacetime and saved Bibi Dong...
Qian Renxue might also forgive Bibi Dong's indifference.
Bibi Dong would also emerge from the shadow that had haunted her all her life.
After thinking for a moment, Su Chen decided:
The first priority is...
Qian Xunji must die.
Su Chen quietly thought everything through.
But an enormous problem stood before him.
The system made it sound easy, but how was he supposed to travel through spacetime?
Su Chen really wanted to curse at the system.
But the system simply said:
"Since you performed very well in another spacetime."
"The host can be rewarded with one opportunity to travel through spacetime."
Su Chen froze at those words. "Performed very well in another spacetime?"
"System, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Naturally, Su Chen did not know that he was already being livestreamed on the Sky Screen Broadcast.
The footage was synchronized across the novel and anime spacetimes.
And it had stirred up towering waves.
The Yu Xiaogang of both spacetimes had been utterly disgraced.
The system suddenly announced:
"Due to the host's good performance."
"Congratulations to the host on receiving one use of Spacetime Travel."
"The duration is three days."
"The mission objective is: take Bibi Dong as your disciple."
"Success rewards 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins."
"Failure will strip you of all your cultivation."
"Reducing you to a useless wretch."
"Host, you have no choice."
Su Chen silently withdrew his Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul:
"I changed Bibi Dong's fate of being assaulted in the secret chamber."
"Then what about Qian Renxue?"
"I can't just snatch a Qian Renxue from another spacetime and bring her back, can I?"
Without realizing it.
Su Chen sank into hesitation...
