Chapter 198 Wei Yuan: Tianmeng's Past and Future, a Trailer for the Fusion of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect?
As the words fell, the entire world fell into a brief silence.
Immediately afterward, an overwhelming uproar erupted.
"Compare...compare misery? Or compare stories?"
On the arena, Liaoyuan was completely dumbfounded, his face filled with confusion, as if asking, "Who am I? Where am I?"
Liaoyuan froze, saying, "In my entire life, besides eating and sleeping, I've either fought for territory or killed whoever I didn't like... What's so moving about that? Do you expect humans to be moved by how much I eat?"
Haiyuan beside him was also bewildered, the bloodlust in his eyes now replaced by clear stupidity:
"Emotional fluctuations? Does fear count? I've slaughtered countless sea spirit beasts in my life, staining the sea red wherever I went. That should be quite 'shocking,' right? But can that win?"
Even Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who initially thought his chances of winning were slim, was now dumbfounded, his small eyes wide open.
"This is what they call special rules?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's lips twitched, inwardly cursing:
"What kind of story has I ever had?!"
"All I do is sleep, and when I wake up I get caught, and when I get caught I get sucked... It's practically the life of a 'disliked power bank'!"
"This is too embarrassing!
Are they going to expose my dark history of being kept as food?
I'd rather fight them!"
The Soul-Devouring Spider remained silent.
The four soul beasts stared at each other, wide-eyed.
They originally thought this would be a bloody battle, where might makes right.
But after all that, the sky was telling them it was a "misery contest" or a "storytelling competition"?
This was simply... utterly absurd, ridiculously absurd!
On the throne of the Silent God Realm,
Wei Yuan chuckled.
He didn't know about the past of the other three soul beasts, but the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's life was undoubtedly extraordinary.
"Eh?"
Wei Yuan suddenly paused, surprised by the sudden appearance of a flood of information on the screen.
This time, the exposure of the Heavenly Dream's dark history was even going to reveal the 'future' ten thousand years later in the original story?
'Is this to prepare the humans and soul beasts on Douluo Star for the fusion of the Douluo One and Peerless Tang Sect eras?'
'And is this a preview of their life's journey through comparison?'
Interesting!
Wei Yuan was somewhat looking forward to clashing with Tang San, the God King of Douluo Two!
He wanted to see what it would be like when his true form, the Silent God King, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, and the Golden Dragon King, the three God Kings, faced off against Tang San, a God of Asura and a God of the Sea, a God King and a God of the Sea!
Wei Yuan had absolutely no interest in this world's Tang San. He was even too lazy to observe him.
Even without Wei Yuan's personal intervention, even if he did nothing, Tang San and his Clear Sky Sect would be crushed to dust in the grand scheme of things!
"Rewinding a Lifetime, Officially Beginning!"
"First: Blazing Flame Demon Lord–Liaoyuan!"
As the majestic voice from the heavens fell, a red light enveloped the colossal creature engulfed in flames on the arena.
Immediately afterward, the massive screen shifted, drawing the audience's attention back to the Burning Plains hundreds of thousands of years ago.
In the scene, a small Flame Demon, newly born from magma, clumsily devoured the surrounding fire elements.
Initially, this scene intrigued many human viewers.
After all, for most, the growth process of spirit beasts has always been a mystery, especially for elemental spirit beasts born in extreme environments.
"Wow! So this is what the Flame Demon looked like when it was young? It even looks a bit like... a burning potato?"
"The environment of the Burning Plains is too harsh. There's lava and poisonous gas everywhere. No wonder it's called a forbidden zone for life."
However, as time went by, this sense of novelty was quickly replaced by an indescribable boredom.
Liaoyuan's life could be summed up in one word: "monotonous."
The scenes flashed by, and what the audience saw was only endless repetition: devouring lava to cultivate—encountering other soul beasts—fighting—devouring the opponent after victory—continuing to cultivate—encountering stronger soul beasts—fighting again—hiding in the depths of lava to heal after being injured—continuing to cultivate after recovering...
100,000 years, 200,000 years, 300,000 years...
The marks that time left on Liaoyuan's body.
Apart from his body growing larger and his flames becoming more intense, and the mountains of bones piling up around him, there was almost no change.
There was no love or hate, no ups and downs, not even a slightly complex psychological activity.
In his world, there was only the most primitive survival instinct and the desire to become stronger.
"This...this is so boring!"
"I'm sleepy, really. Isn't this just a machine that only fights and levels up?"
"This big guy is like an uncivilized beast."
Even Haiyuan and the Soul-Devouring Spider on the arena couldn't help but show disdain as they looked at Liaoyuan's unremarkable life story on the screen.
"That's it?"
Haiyuan even yawned, his huge tentacles patting the ground boredly:
"If mine is this kind of mundane account, I might as well just admit defeat." Even Liaoyuan, the person involved, looked embarrassed.
It scratched its burning head and muttered in a gruff voice:
"What are you looking at! I'm a soul beast, isn't this how soul beasts live? Do I have to cry and whine all day like you humans?"
Although it said this, seeing the increasingly indifferent reactions of the audience below the screen, and many people even starting to chat or doze off, Liaoyuan knew in its heart that its first "misery contest" was probably going to be a flop.
As expected, when Liaoyuan's flashback finally froze on the moment he became a regional overlord, roaring to the sky, the reaction from the entire continent was utterly unremarkable, without even a hint of heated discussion.
The "empathy index" displayed on the screen was pitifully low, failing to even reach the passing grade.
"First flashback complete."
"Empathy Index: Extremely Low."
The screen mercilessly gave its assessment, then shifted its focus to the next target.
"Second: Abyssal Demonic Tentacle Squid—Haiyuan!"
Haiyuan's life was largely the same as Liaoyuan's.
However, Haiyuan frequently attacked ships at sea, causing the deaths of countless Soul Masters who ventured out to sea.
This infuriated and enraged humanity, especially the humans of the Sun and Moon Second Continent where Haiyuan resided.
"Second flashback complete."
"Empathy Index: Slightly Below Average."
Although Haiyuan's empathy index was significantly higher than Liaoyuan's, that "burning potato," this score was clearly not due to any genuine emotion, but rather purely inflated by drawing hatred.
