What was the fate of Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo?
Upon hearing this question, Lin Mo scratched his head, momentarily at a loss for words.
After a long while, Lin Mo slowly exhaled and said softly, "Grandpa, if you want to know about what happened ten thousand years ago, I will have someone find some information for you."
"As for your final fate and that of Sister Yanyan in this world..."
"But for you in this world, the ending may not be as beautiful as you imagine."
Simply put, while you all exist in this world, I am unique.
Lin Mo's words and his previous silence startled Dugu Bo, who immediately felt a bad premonition.
If Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan in this world hadn't met Lin Mo, their fate would have been predictable.
If she hadn't met Lin Mo, then let Dugu Yan inheriting the Sea God's position in the future, she probably wouldn't even have been able to resolve the flaws in her own Martial Soul.
She will follow the same path as all those who possess the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, tormented by poison, and ultimately die quietly in some unknown corner.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
If that's the case, then the fate of the grandfather and grandson will probably be just as Lin Mo said.
It was definitely not something to be described as pleasant.
Qian Daoliu to the side, quickly tried to smooth things over. "Alright, old man, don't worry about these things. It all happened ten thousand years ago. Even if we knew the outcome, what difference would it make?"
"Even Limit Douluo like you or me, with our cultivation levels, would absolutely not be able to endure this long period of time."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded in agreement.
Qian Daoliu is wrong.
What good will knowing about something that happened ten thousand years ago do?
He's just feeling a bit frustrated right now.
It's like knowing you're having a miserable time somewhere else, but being unable to do anything about it—it's somewhat frustrating.
Soon, Qian Daoliu turned his gaze to Lin Mo.
He asked about the situation he was concerned about, " Xiao Mo, if, as you say, this world doesn't have you, then what was the outcome ten thousand years ago? Did Xiao Xue successfully become a god?"
His greatest wish in this life was to see Qian Renxue successfully inherit the Angel Godhood.
If Qian Renxue in this world succeeds, then at least it means his sacrifice wasn't in vain.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo nodded. "Thanks to Senior Qian Daoliu's dedication and sacrifice, Sister Xue successfully completed the Angel Nine Trials and attained the position of Angel God."
Upon hearing this, a look of joy immediately appeared on Qian Daoliu's face.
He knew Xiao Xue could do it.
Before he could even feel happy, Lin Mo raised his hand and interrupted him.
Then he continued talking to himself, "But Grandpa Qian, you shouldn't be too happy yet."
Although Sister Xue successfully became a god, her inner demons remained, which gave her a significant weakness after becoming a god.
Then he lost the war of the gods, his Godhood shattered, and he became an ordinary person.
"What happened after that, even I don't know," Lin Mo slowly recounted what he knew.
The smile on Qian Daoliu's face froze instantly.
"They lost the war of the gods?"
Qian Daoliu, after all, was a man who had experienced many trials and tribulations. After a brief moment of distraction, he quickly grasped the key information in Lin Mo's words.
He immediately perked up, "Great! A war of gods, a war between gods?"
Could it be that besides Xiao Xue and Bibi Dong, there were other people who became gods ten thousand years ago?
Lin Mo nodded, but his gaze couldn't help but wander outwards.
Lin Mo pointed upwards and asked, "Grandpa, Grandpa Qian, do you two know where we are right now?"
"Where?" Dugu Bo asked cooperatively.
However, you could tell from his tone that he wasn't in a very good mood.
Lin Mo said with a playful tone, "We are currently in the core area of the Shrek Academy, the underground world beneath the Golden Tree in the inner courtyard."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression changed.
Shrek Academy?
Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask, " Xiao Mo, are you sure you're not mistaken? Is this Shrek Academy you're talking about the Shrek Academy I know?"
"The academy founded by Flan and his two buddies?"
He simply couldn't imagine that a small academy founded by just three minor figures at the Soul Saint level ten thousand years ago could have endured for ten thousand years without fading away.
Judging from Lin Mo's tone, the academy seemed to have developed into a rather sizable behemoth.
Qian Daoliu, standing to the side, fell silent, his doubts deepening.
Did Xiao Xue lose the battle of the gods?
Could it be that the Qian Renxue of this world did not heed my warning?
After becoming a god, he chose to take revenge on Bibi Dong, but ended up losing to Bibi Dong?
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain how a small Shrek Academy could have survived for ten thousand years.
From this perspective, it is only possible that Bibi Dong achieved the final victory and reaped the fruits of victory.
It's possible that Yu Xiaogang, through his connection with Bibi Dong, could ensure that Shrek Academy, which he founded, will be passed down for ten thousand years.
Although some parts are still not quite right, this is the only reasonable explanation at present.
"That's right." Lin Mo nodded and said.
He didn't continue explaining, but instead reached out and grabbed at the air.
With a ripple of spatial power, Lin Mo conjured up the dozen or so small wooden carvings that were originally in the main hall of the Sea God Pavilion.
"This was left behind by the descendants of the Shrek Academy to commemorate the first generation of predecessors who founded Shrek Academy."
"Grandpa, you've had contact with them, so you must be quite familiar with them, right?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed, and he looked over the dozen or so wooden carvings one by one, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
Because besides Flan Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang, Dugu Bo also recognized the identities of the other seven wooden carvings.
And each of them corresponds to a specific name.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun.
"It's one thing for Tang San and the others to be up here, but why are Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu up here too?"
Dugu Bo voiced the question that had been lingering in his mind.
He pointed at the wooden carvings of Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, his expression full of confusion.
In his memory, Zhu Zhuqing had already been intercepted and rescued by Lin Mo.
Later, when Lin Mo encountered Xiao Wu in the Star Dou Great Forest, he also rescued her.
Could it be that, in the course of this world's development, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu ended up with Tang San and the others?
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo nodded. " Flan and the other two are the founders of this academy."
"As for the remaining seven, the seven people led by Tang San are known as the original Shrek Seven Devils."
Their statues are here because they are the ancestors of the Shrek Academy, and all seven of them became gods.
"It is precisely because of the seven ancestors who ascended to godhood that Shrek Academy in this era has such a magnificent foundation, standing strong for ten thousand years, and has even become the most powerful force in the entire Douluo Continent today."
"How is this possible?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but interrupt Lin Mo.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Lin Mo, but rather that the news was simply too outrageous.
All seven of them became gods? Are you kidding me?
Dugu Bo pointed to the wooden carving of Ma Hongjun, the last member of the Shrek Seven Devils.
"If you're saying that Tang San and the others have the talent to become gods, that's one thing, but how could Ma Hongjun, a Fallen Soul Master, possibly become a god?"
"Even if his companions were the first to become gods and found him the inheritance of other Godhood, given his temperament and talent, it would be impossible for him to pass the divine trials!"
Yu Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Zhu Zhuqing were all inheritors of divine power, and they all successfully passed the trials and became gods.
Dugu Bo was quite familiar with the process of Godhood Inheritance.
The divine examination is not something you can pass by treating people to a meal or having connections.
Leaving aside the others for now.
How could Ma Hongjun, whom Lin Mo personally killed, possibly be qualified to become a god?
Can a Fallen Soul Master, whose heart is filled with evil and who only knows how to commit lewd acts, really become a god?
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's question, Lin Mo's lips twitched involuntarily.
To some extent, Dugu Bo was indeed right.
Although Ma Hongjun in this world has the same opportunities as Tang San, he also lacks the qualifications to inherit the divine legacy.
However, Ma Hongjun's talent and temperament ultimately fell short.
Even though Tang San provided a great deal of help to Ma Hongjun, paving most of the way for him to attain Godhood.
However, Ma Hongjun failed to pass the test of the First-Level God, the Fire God, and could only settle for the Second-Level God, the Godhood of Phoenix God.
This was the limit of what Tang San could do for him.
"And Xiao Mo, shouldn't it be Bibi Dong and Xiao Xue who become gods?" Qian Daoliu couldn't help but interject at this moment.
"How did Tang San and the others become gods? Did they also successfully find the Godhood Inheritance?" Qian Daoliu asked, voicing his biggest question.
He had initially thought that the divine war Lin Mo had mentioned was between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.
In the civil war between the two gods, Bibi Dong ultimately won.
But now it seems that it's not that simple.
"Not only." Lin Mo shook his head.
"Didn't I just tell Grandpa and the others? The Sea God and the Asura God of this world aren't Sister Yanyan and me."
"To be precise, the Asura God and the Sea God in this world are the same person, none other than Tang San, whom you all know."
Lin Mo's fingers landed on Tang San's wooden carving.
" Tang San was fortunate enough to inherit the Sea God's legacy and ascended to the position of Sea God on Sea God Island."
"In the final battle, the Spirit Hall's two goddesses Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, fought a fierce battle against Tang San. However, Tang San, through the help of the Asura God and Tang Chen, indirectly seized the Dual Godhood and achieved a counterattack."
This is why, in the world ten thousand years later, no information related to the Spirit Hall can be found.
After that battle, the Spirit Hall was completely wiped out.
Information about it has long been buried in the dust of history.
Unless one has a deep understanding of the history of this world, they might not even know that the Spirit Hall exists.
This is why Shrek Academy has such a dominant position.
Because Tang San was the one who had the last laugh.
The victors write history, the losers are forgotten.
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Dugu Bo and Qian Daoliu exchanged bewildered glances.
Hearing firsthand from Lin Mo that Tang San had achieved the final victory ten thousand years ago and reaped the fruits of that victory, their expressions were as if they had eaten excrement.
It's like you've worked hard your whole life cultivating the land, only to have someone else pick the peaches when it's time to harvest.
Moreover, the person who picks the peaches is the kind of person you look down on the most.
Seeing the expressions on the two seniors' faces, Lin Mo wholeheartedly agreed.
He completely understood how those two people felt.
His expression was just like when he first read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and discovered that the person who would eventually seize the world was Sima Yi.
Cao Cao fought his whole life, Liu Bei endured his whole life, and Sun Quan defended his homeland his whole life.
And then what?
The world now belongs to the Sima family.
However, Dugu Bo soon realized something was very wrong.
He looked up at Lin Mo and slowly asked, "Given Tang San's situation back then, how could he possibly have come into contact with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and gone to Sea God Island to begin the Sea God's Nine Trials?"
Dugu Bo was quite familiar with the circumstances surrounding Dugu Yan's inheritance of the Sea God's Nine Trials, and even knew that the key to it was the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
That is the key to unlocking the Sea God's Nine Trials.
Without this, no matter how talented you are, the Sea God won't even give you a second glance.
Without this crucial token, let alone Dugu Yan, even with Lin Mo's talent, he wouldn't have been able to initiate the Sea God's Nine Trials on Sea God Island.
In his memory, this token of the Sea God was clearly obtained by Lin Mo after he led the team to victory and, with his cultivation rapidly advancing to become the youngest Soul Saint in the history of the Douluo Continent.
At that time Qian Renxue, who had already successfully seized the throne of the Dou Empire through disguise, had nothing left to reward.
Only then did he reluctantly bestow the Vast Ocean Universe Cover as a symbol of Lin Molin's status as King.
It was precisely because of this opportunity that Yanzi stumbled upon a great bargain.
Dugu Yan obtained the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud before she could begin the Sea God's Nine Trials, and ultimately inherited the position of Sea God.
But what about Tang San? How could he possibly have come into contact with him?
What is Tang San's relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire Imperial Family?
How did he obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo wore a rather amused smile.
His gaze shifted to Dugu Bo, and he couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, if Tang San and the others are to become gods, who contributed the most behind the scenes?"
"That must be you in this world!" Lin Mo's tone was clearly teasing.
"How could that be? How could I possibly sponsor that ungrateful wretch Tang San?" Dugu Bo raised his voice eight octaves as he immediately retorted.
Doesn't Dugu Bo know who Tang San is?
Just like those people from the Clear Sky Sect, they're complete ingrates.
A bunch of people who only care about using others and ignore them completely!
How could he possibly help someone like that?
However, under Lin Mo's gaze, he was momentarily speechless.
Dugu Bo felt uncomfortable under that gaze, and his voice gradually changed.
He quickly realized something was wrong and recalled what Lin Mo meant by "help".
" Xiao Mo, could you be referring to my herb garden, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?" Dugu Bo asked tentatively.
"Did Tang San and the others become gods because they ate the Immortal Herb in that herb garden, which enhanced their talents?"
Lin Mo nodded. "It is precisely because of the assistance of numerous Immortal Herb that Tang San and the others have experienced a significant improvement in their talents."
Lin Mo spoke slowly.
"This enabled us to successfully defeat the Spirit Hall in the Soul Master Tournament, and complete the first wave of investment."
"After returning from the Slaughter City, Tang San defeated Sister Xue during the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, and was rewarded with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud bestowed by Xue Ye."
"You all know what happened next." Lin Mo paused here.
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu patted Dugu Bo on the shoulder with a helpless expression.
Old man, I never expected that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually be the one who contributed the most here!
If it weren't for your Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang San and the others would never have gotten to that point.
Dugu Bo's expression alternated between pale and flushed.
He was quick to realize that Dugu Bo had also noticed something else that was quite amiss.
"Wait, that's not right, Xiao Mo." Dugu Bo immediately interrupted again.
"If what you say is true, that Tang San and the others were able to successfully become gods because they ate the Immortal Herb from my herb garden..."
What about the Yanzi?
Even considering the Immortal Herb, Yanzi still couldn't obtain a Godhood and ascend to the Divine Realm?
If Dugu Bo in this world really gave all the Immortal Herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to Tang San and the others.
Tang San and his six companions each received a Godhood, and all seven ascended to the Divine Realm.
What about Dugu Yan?
Even considering that her grandfather contributed the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, shouldn't the Divine Realm reserve a place for her?
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's expression changed strangely once again.
