Douluo Continent.
Shrek Academy.
White light flashed.
Ning Rongrong opened her eyes and found herself back in the familiar square.
Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others immediately gathered around.
"Rongrong, you're back."
"San, you're incredible."
Everyone looked excited, their voices rising one after another.
"Rongrong, congratulations on becoming a god in the future."
Oscar strode forward and spoke sincerely as he looked at Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong froze slightly.
She could clearly sense that the Oscar before her was completely different from his usual self.
More confident and composed.
She gave a faint smile. "Thank you, Oscar."
Oscar's heart burned with excitement.
He already knew that he, too, would become a god, and that Ning Rongrong would be his wife.
His gaze settled on the girl's delicate face, growing ever more lingering, unable to conceal his delight and affection.
His stare made Ning Rongrong uncomfortable all over, and she instinctively looked away.
Just then, an urgent voice rang out from the horizon.
"Rongrong!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin came hurtling through the air with Ning Fengzhi.
"Dad! Grandpa Jian!"
The instant she saw her father, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up. She immediately broke free of the crowd and hurried excitedly toward him.
Nearby.
Holding Xiao Wu's hand, Tang San looked at everyone with a serious expression.
"Everyone, you all saw it with your own eyes."
"The Peerless Tang Sect world is very powerful. Going there is absolutely our best choice."
As his words fell, the entire gathering went silent.
Everyone exchanged looks, the silence eerily profound.
"What's wrong?"
Tang San frowned slightly.
Dai Mubai fell silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"Nothing."
"Of course all of us at Shrek will choose Peerless Tang Sect."
Xiao Wu could not help stepping forward and gently tugging Tang San's sleeve, reminding him earnestly.
"Brother San, don't let your guard down."
"The Human Emperor World really is powerful."
"They have nine gods, as well as the Human Emperor. Titled Douluos are everywhere, and they even have more than one Limit Douluo."
Tang San turned to her in surprise.
He had never expected the Human Emperor World to be so powerful!
They even have gods?
"San, there's no need to panic."
Grandmaster immediately stepped forward, his hands clasped behind his back, and reassured him with calm confidence.
"The gods of the Human Emperor World have never appeared. Most likely, they ascended long ago and are no longer in the human realm."
"But even so, they still have at least two Limit Douluos. They truly cannot be underestimated."
At those words, Tang San's heart settled somewhat.
So that was it.
His expression grew solemn again.
"No matter what."
"Peerless Tang Sect is the best destination for us."
"But wanting to choose it won't do us any good."
"The final choice will be decided by the entire Douluo Continent. The minority must follow the majority."
Ma Hongjun let out a long sigh, his face full of helplessness.
"Then we'll make them choose it!"
Tang San's tone was forceful.
I'm going to Peerless Tang Sect. Anyone who stands in my way dies!
He resolved to win over the continent's major powers and make them choose Peerless Tang Sect!
Over by Ning Fengzhi.
He was comforting the sorrowful Ning Rongrong.
Although she had only spent a day with Xiao Xiao, it felt as though they had been together for many years, and she could not let go for a long time.
Two figures approached.
Tang Hao held his hands behind his back, his aura deep and steady.
Tang San looked calm. Now that he knew his own origins and past, Tang Hao naturally no longer needed to hide.
And so.
Just now, Tang Hao had chosen to appear directly before everyone, sharing a moving scene with Tang San as father and son embraced and wept.
"Greetings, Clear Sky Douluo."
"You're too courteous, Sect Master Ning. I'm mainly here to accompany San as he comes to see you."
Tang San cupped his hands toward Ning Fengzhi and got straight to the point.
"Sect Master Ning."
"When the hundred-day deadline arrives, which world does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect intend to choose?"
"This matter... concerns our sect's survival. Please allow us to observe a little longer."
Ning Fengzhi pondered briefly, then lowered his head to look at him.
A barely perceptible trace of displeasure flashed through Tang San's eyes.
Observe?
Was Ning Rongrong's membership in Shrek not enough to make him decide?
"Sect Master Ning, you'd best give some thought to your clansmen."
"In the Human Emperor World, yours would only be a middling Martial Soul. But in Peerless Tang Sect, yours would still be the world's foremost support-type Martial Soul."
"There's no need to force your way into a circle where you don't belong."
Tang Hao's words sounded openly confrontational.
Chen Xin narrowed his eyes.
"I've long heard of Clear Sky Douluo's formidable strength. Why don't we compare our skills?"
"Wait, Uncle Jian!"
Ning Fengzhi hurriedly stopped him.
"Clear Sky Douluo has a point. We'll give it careful consideration. We have matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave."
He turned with Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong and hurried away.
And Ning Rongrong actually offered no objection, shrinking into her father's arms, not daring to face everyone's gazes.
Could Rongrong not want to go to Peerless Tang Sect?
That's impossible.
Tang San noticed Ning Rongrong's unusual behavior, but could not understand it at all.
What magic did the Human Emperor World possess that could even affect their bonds?
No.
Time waits for no one!
He had to win over more people.
Tang San felt a sudden sense of urgency.
"Don't worry, San. Back then, I brought four clans under my command. Each of them is no weaker than a sect."
"I'll take you to see them right away. Surely they won't refuse to show me some respect."
Tang Hao immediately spoke with confidence.
"That would be wonderful."
"Dad, you're amazing."
Tang San's eyes widened with excitement.
"Hahaha, that's nothing."
"Your father is Clear Sky Douluo, after all. Come, I'll take you to the Speed Clan first."
Tang Hao's pride was satisfied, and his spirits soared.
Spirit Hall.
Inside the Papal Palace, the atmosphere was heavy.
Bibi Dong sat high upon the papal throne, looking down indifferently at everyone below.
"Speak."
"Of the two worlds, which should our Spirit Hall favor?"
The hall remained silent for a long time. No one dared speak first.
A moment later.
Chrysanthemum Douluo slowly stepped forward and spoke respectfully.
"In answer to His Holiness the Pope."
"The Human Emperor World is terrifyingly powerful, with experts as numerous as clouds. If we go there, we may find no foothold."
"By contrast, Peerless Tang Sect has a moderate level of combat strength and ample room in its landscape, making it more suitable for our Spirit Hall to take root and develop."
Many elders nodded in agreement.
But some elders held different views.
"The Human Emperor World is more advanced, and its systems are more complete!"
"Its horizons and level far exceed those of Peerless Tang Sect. Clearly, it has greater potential!"
"If we go to Peerless Tang Sect, however suitable it might be, won't we still have to fight over resources? Even if we agree, things won't be any better than they are now."
The two sides immediately reached an impasse, and debate broke out throughout the hall.
Half an hour of arguing yielded no result.
Just as everyone remained locked in dispute.
High in the sky, the celestial screen suddenly lit up, and an icy mechanical voice resounded across the entire continent!
[Observers selected for this round: Chen Xin, Xiao Wu, Feng Xiaotian] [Observation duration for this round: 30 days]
No one across the entire continent had expected it.
The second observation had come so soon!
And this time, it would last a whole month.
So the last one had just been a brief trial?
Chen Xin froze slightly.
He turned and exchanged a look with Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly and said softly, "Uncle Jian, just choose whichever world you wish. Go wherever you want. Don't worry about us."
Chen Xin slowly nodded, his expression calm, though a storm had already risen in his eyes.
Experts of the Human Emperor World, here I come.
"Grandpa Jian, please give Xiao Xiao a message for me..."
Over at Shrek.
Xiao Wu's eyes were full of curiosity, and she was eager to try.
Tang San looked at her and instructed her quietly.
"Xiao Wu, after you enter Peerless Tang Sect, go straight to Mu En."
"He has agreed to work with me. He'll certainly do everything he can to help us."
Xiao Wu nodded firmly. "Mhm! I understand, Brother San!"
Godwind Academy.
Feng Xiaotian looked utterly stunned. He had never imagined he would be among the second batch of observers.
He had watched the observation on the celestial screen just now, too.
Peerless Tang Sect was unremarkable. The Human Emperor World was the truly powerful world!
At the thought of that terrifying rating, where Innate Full Soul Power earned only 90 points.
Intense curiosity and ambition flared in Feng Xiaotian's eyes.
"I choose the Human Emperor Xuanyuan Timeline!"
He would see for himself just what this world, where Innate Full Soul Power scored only 90 points, was like!
Dazzling white light shone from Chen Xin, Xiao Wu, and Feng Xiaotian.
The light flashed.
The three figures instantly vanished from Douluo Continent and appeared in the future worlds.
