Chapter 52 recounts history, Tang Dynasty 3's Ten Thousand Years of Memories.
"Senior is amazing."
After Yifan finished the race, Tang Wulin, who had reached the finish line, couldn't help but praise him.
Seeing his shy demeanor, the senior student, whom he was destined to meet, couldn't help but smile even wider. "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. You've got pretty good stamina, junior. Keep it up!"
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the dormitory building, waving her right arm behind her back to say goodbye to Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin watched her retreating figure, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up inside him. He didn't know what this feeling was, but he just felt that he seemed to really enjoy watching this senior.
"My name is Ouyang Zixin, and I'm in Class 1, Grade 5," the girl's voice drifted over.
Ouyang Zixin, what a beautiful name.
Every boy has a senior classmate he remembers vividly, and Ouyang Zixin is a name he has deeply etched in his memory.
Tang Wulin stood there dumbfounded, and for some reason, his eyes suddenly fell on her buttocks. The swaying buttocks as she took a step were very attractive to him.
At this moment, the God of Hips awakened his sexual fetish!
…………
Reading history books allows us to learn about the rise and fall of dynasties; reading legends allows us to understand the past and present.
In the deep, dark room, a torch was lit, and a hazy figure walked gracefully to the stone table in the center of the room, placing the torch on a shelf to provide light.
Unfolding an ancient and simple history scroll, one is immediately struck by the weight of history presented. These are real events that could never be recorded in official histories, and are only passed down to certain individuals.
What was the truth back then?
The true story of Lingbing Douluo...
He gently stroked the ancient scroll in his hand.
Time rewinds to the distant past, to the land known as Douluo Continent, once divided into four kingdoms, a land ravaged by war. There was a man, born of war, invincible throughout the eight wastelands, who questioned the heavens' inevitability of defeat. Single-handedly, he slaughtered all evil souls, creating the legend of the Spirit Ice, whose divine might was unmatched. It is known only that the First Ancestor of Spirit Transmission, having traversed the highest heavens, never tasted defeat.
…………
As an academy, it is naturally impossible for it to only teach cultivation.
Donghai Academy offers courses in history, mathematics, physical education, and ideology—all purely theoretical in cultural contexts—in every class…
Well, math class doesn't require calculations. In Douluo Continent, math isn't really important; as long as you can do basic arithmetic, that's enough.
Today, Lan Fuzi is having a history lesson. As the Deep Sea Demon Whale King with a long lifespan, and having spent thousands of years in the Spirit Pagoda, her historical knowledge is beyond what ordinary people can match.
History lessons always focus on the same few key points.
Huo Yuhao was tired of hearing it; it was nothing more than the events of ten thousand years ago. The ten thousand years since the Sun Moon Empire became a federation were rarely ignored by these teachers.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
The higher-ups didn't care about that, and the students really enjoyed listening to those all-powerful historical stories from before.
"The battle ten thousand years ago... laid the foundation..."
Huo Yuhao sat in his seat, head down, reading a book. He didn't know the story from ten thousand years ago, did he? But when Lan Fuzi mentioned the past, some things from that time gradually surfaced in his mind.
As he reminisced about the past, Tang San couldn't help but think of the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago.
…………
History says that when the Spirit Ice appeared, war ceased.
It was July of the 11,253rd year of the Sea God Calendar. It was also the last year of the Sea God Calendar; thereafter, people used the Spirit Ice Calendar.
As the saying goes, war brings disaster, and so does peace.
War disasters are often associated with man-made disasters, with countless displacements and the destruction of families.
Was war right or wrong?
Once the war machines known as the Empire were deployed, no matter how many people realized the consequences, it was too late to stop. Moreover, there were as many as four of these war machines.
Even the most conscientious person can only guarantee a quick end to the war and minimize the casualties.
The battle was a foregone conclusion. The rapidly developing soul-guided technology gave them overwhelming combat power over soul masters at the lower and middle levels. Their assembled army was dozens of times stronger than that of the original Three Kingdoms.
Despite the support of Shrek Academy, the invincible holy land of soul masters, the original Three Kingdoms still could not reverse their decline, even at the cost of countless lives.
The evil Sun and Moon Empire is using underhanded tricks and crooked methods!
The shadow of the Sun Moon Empire has infiltrated the Douluo Continent and is causing chaos!
The great Sun Moon Empire is reclaiming its loyal Douluo Three Kingdoms!
The foolish and evil Shrek Academy is attempting to turn the tide!
Location: Xingluo City.
This is the last stop that the Sun Moon Empire's iron cavalry wants to conquer. It can be said that as long as this place is captured, the original Three Kingdoms will be completely defeated.
The army of Soul Masters, numbering between two and three hundred thousand by sight and fully equipped, led by the Empire's Goddess of War, Empress Ju Zi, besieged the city.
This time, without the protection of Lingbing from Shrek Academy and the power of Haotong, the Primordial Three Kingdoms suffered a complete defeat, and the situation became irreversibly one-sided.
Empress Ju Zi did not attack the city immediately, as if she was wary of something. However, with 300,000 soldiers standing below the city, the terrifying and murderous aura made the already heavy atmosphere even more oppressive.
The sky above the city was dark and heavy, as if a storm was about to break, and the air was stifling.
"How long do you intend to put up a last-ditch effort? Are you still counting on Dragon Butterfly Douluo Tang Wutong? It's a pity that although she has the power of level 99, she doesn't have the overwhelming strength of the Dragon God Douluo back then. A few mere Super Douluos can hold her off. You have no chance."
Huo Yuhao, invited by Xu Tianran to provide cover, stepped through the void, his face covered, coldly gazing at the insignificant weaklings below. Only those who reached his level could understand how profound and invincible this power was. Therefore, he did not want these people to engage in futile resistance.
This could cause unnecessary casualties.
"..."
Everyone in the city gritted their teeth and remained silent.
They looked up at him with their heads held high.
What emotions are in those eyes?
Hatred? Indomitable spirit?
The people in the city still wanted to surrender directly, but they were carrying the weight of the royal families of the three kingdoms of Douling, Tianhun, and Xingluo, as well as the students of Shrek Academy!
At this moment, even the slightest fear would affect the fighting spirit of these powerful warriors and become the last straw that breaks the camel's back!
They can't back down!
Who can guarantee they won't be purged?
The Sun Moon Empire is responsible for accepting surrenders, but it has no obligation to protect them from being purged by Shrek Academy and other forces; they have no value in that regard.
What should I do? How should I deal with him?
On the city wall, the titled Douluo looked at each other and saw the fear and despair in each other's eyes. Their hearts grew heavier, but none of them had any intention of surrendering.
Because they haven't lost yet! They still have a god, and Dragon Butterfly Douluo is already receiving the god's inheritance. As long as they persevere, everything will be alright once Dragon Butterfly Douluo becomes a god!
"Well, that's all we can do."
Huo Yuhao couldn't understand these people's persistence, and said to the Emperor and Empress below, "I will continue to oversee the situation just in case. You may make your move."
"Yes."
"All troops, listen up! Open fire! Remember, try your best not to harm the civilians in the city, but if you can't, don't worry about it!"
The Empress, the Goddess of War, pursed her lips, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she gave the order: Star Luo City, finally, she would raze it to the ground. It was just a pity that her greatest enemy, the White Tiger Duke, was not there; it was said that his entire family had been wiped out by the Spirit Ice Douluo beforehand.
As for whether any remnants of his bloodline have survived... Spirit Ice Douluo isn't a babysitter; his relationship with the Sun Moon Empire is merely one of cooperation.
"yes!"
Another great war, yet another great war.
This is the final battle.
Soul-guided cannons roared, and soul-powered rays pierced through the air.
Level 9 Soul Masters battle against Title Douluo.
Each has its rivals.
Although the original Three Kingdoms faction had many powerful Soul Masters and numerous powerful Martial Souls, how could they possibly withstand the siege of several level-nine Soul Masters?
…………
Tang San remembered that the situation was extremely critical at the time. Ling Bing led his evil Sun and Moon Army and drove the Primordial Three Kingdoms into a panic.
Back then, he saw a rising star and thought of a whole process of inviting him to a banquet, closing the door, and taking him in as a dog. He wanted to subdue the chosen one, put his daughter down to get some of his luck, and use the chosen one to seize the power of the imperial auspicious beast.
However, Xiao Qi has gone to the lower realm.
But he could no longer guide the chosen one. Originally, the chosen one should have had intricate connections with Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. He had planned to guide him step by step to become the Tang family's son-in-law, starting by breaking his bones at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and then having Da Ming and Er Ming manipulate him.
But the luck of the chosen one, which shone brightly for a moment, then disappeared, leaving him completely baffled.
Later, he searched diligently and finally found traces of someone who might be the chosen one. Determined to make him suffer, he influenced the Dragon God Douluo Mu En, who was almost exhausted at the time, and planned to capture him. Well, that impure cultivation, suspected to be that of an evil soul master, absolutely could not be allowed to remain.
Could there be any problem with a Limit Douluo capturing a Soul Douluo? Could there be any risk? When Tang San checked again the next day, the grass on Mu En's grave was already eight feet tall.
Tang San was once again questioning his existence. You, a Soul Douluo, can kill a Limit Douluo? He wasn't this powerful back then; he only managed to defeat Title Douluos thanks to some powerful artifact…
After that, the Chosen One seemed to be provoked by him, making the situation on Douluo Continent more and more complicated and intense, forcing him to take action.
…………
"Ugh."
A sigh that seemed to come from nowhere.
Time and space seemed to have completely frozen at this moment.
A golden light flashed, and a golden figure appeared in the center of the crowd.
The golden figure gradually became clearer, and a handsome man who looked to be no more than twenty years old slowly appeared before everyone.
He, he is...
"It's the Sea God! Tang San's ancestor has appeared!"
Someone shouted excitedly.
What followed was a chorus of cheers, with everyone's necks practically turning red.
This being was the object of worship for everyone in the original Three Kingdoms period, a legendary being who had become a god. For a long time, everyone was skeptical and did not really believe that gods truly existed.
But now, reality is staring us in the face!
The Sea God who destroyed the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago has appeared! He must have come to save the Douluo Three Kingdoms!
Almost instinctively, everyone stopped fighting.
Even if only one city remained, the people of the original Three Kingdoms looked at the invincible man and his invincible army with pride and disdain, like victorious roosters.
For every moment of triumph and ease enjoyed by the original Three Kingdoms, there was just as much fear and despair on the side of the Sun Moon Empire.
Suddenly, the situation reversed again.
This is the world-shaking power of a peak Soul Master! No matter how powerful a Soul Master is, unfortunately, they are ultimately not gods!
"The gods..."
The Empress God of War was pale. She didn't know how strong a god was, but even the invincible Ling Bing was only a level 99.
How strong is Tang San, who has been a god for ten thousand years and reached level 100?
This is almost unimaginable, yet it seems to have become a settled conclusion.
Lingbing became a standard for measuring the difference between gods and mortals.
No matter how desperate she felt, she still had to face it. The Empress War God gritted her teeth and stubbornly looked at the Sea God Tang San before her: "Lord Sea God, what exactly is the purpose of your appearance this time? I have heard that gods cannot interfere with the mortal realm. What you have done is already a violation of the rules!"
"presumptuous!"
"How dare a mere mortal look me in the eye and speak to me like that?" Tang San sneered, his slender body radiating immense pressure.
This is called divine power, like a prison.
"Well."
The pressure from the gods was terrifying. Even though it was deliberately suppressed and only targeted Ju Zi, all the titled Douluo felt the powerful pressure and knelt down on the spot.
"It's not your place to instruct me."
Tang San continued, his gaze shifting to Ling Bing. Seeing that Ling Bing remained calmly at the same height as him, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He didn't say much.
Tang San raised his right hand, and a beam of light appeared in his grasp. A brilliant golden light burst forth—it was the Golden Trident.
Upon seeing the golden trident, Ling Bing was extremely solemn. With just his thoughts, he could feel the terrifying power emanating from the golden trident.
Tang San's eyes suddenly became vacant, and the surrounding space turned blue, like a blue sea.
His golden trident began to move, circling left and right, and golden halos flew towards Lingbing.
There was no way to escape in this situation. Faced with such a divine skill, the only option was to use force against force. The golden halo followed closely and approached in an instant.
"Unpredictable storms, indeed, unpredictable storms!"
Ling Bing was not afraid and laughed loudly, also making a move to resist.
This unpredictable storm can control the opponent for at least three seconds, but unfortunately, it is a divine skill created by the Old Sea God. It is not one's own and will never be perfect.
A third eye appeared on Ling Bing's forehead, and a vertical eye appeared on her back; in an instant, all three eyes turned golden. Before the blue light could penetrate, before the golden ring arrived...
Three beams of golden light, three beams of brilliant golden light, had already traversed time and space, breaking through all barriers, and landed fiercely on this sea god.
The moment the three golden rays landed on the Sea God, the giant vertical eye behind Ling Bing also flashed with golden light and then disappeared from behind Ling Bing, silently appearing behind the Sea God.
Poseidon sensed something was wrong almost instinctively, but his body had already been stained gold.
Then, his amazing skill stopped.
The Asura Three-Eyed God-Sealing Curse!
That's the name of this move.
The reason it has the name "Asura" is that this move was prepared for him! With the power of the Sea God, he was actually sealed by the Asura Three-Eyed God-Sealing Curse in that instant, and could only passively defend, relying on his own divine sense to resist the impact of this powerful battle technique, but he could not release any power outward.
How is that possible?
Not only did Tang San, who had always controlled others, not believe it, but everyone below also felt their faith collapse when they saw this. Shouldn't the difference between level 100 and level 99 be the same as that between Ling Bing and them?
Soon, the sea god's divine sense returned to normal. He didn't attack again; the golden trident vanished, and he said with a satisfied and appreciative attitude:
"Your name is now Ling Bing, right? You're very good; even my divine sense couldn't defend against that move. It's truly an honor for this era to have such a talent as you. I wish to elevate you to the Divine Realm..."
"Are you done? Tang San, once you're done, get back to the God Realm. I'm not going to serve you."
However, his gentle words were met with Ling Bing's blunt, rude, and impatient response.
What is he doing?!
Everyone was stunned.
That's a deity! Even with the best temper, it's not like it won't get angry!
You were able to injure your ancestor just now because he valued talent! People don't believe that Tang San would fall behind Ling Bing in a direct confrontation.
Just a mortal, yet he dares to challenge the gods? Faced with praise from the gods and the temptation of becoming a god, how dare Ling Bing utter such words? He's too arrogant!
The people of the original Three Kingdoms were not convinced and thought to themselves, "Ancestor Tang San, you see, this guy who betrayed us is so narrow-minded and arrogant. Please punish him with divine power!"
"Heh, young man, it's normal to be a bit hot-blooded..."
Tang San considered himself a gentle and kind god, and even now his tone remained gentle and without temper.
Ancestor Tang San, open your eyes! This Ling Bing has become utterly lawless! We must strike him hard!
"What are you pretending to be, Tang San?" Ling Bing remained unmoved. He was practically a superman, still provoking the Sea God. "You don't want to get angry at me? No, it's because you're unsure of me. Due to the rules of the God Realm, sending a wisp of your divine consciousness to the mortal realm is your limit. This divine consciousness can't be too strong; a divine official is the maximum you can manage. Tang San, your time is running out. If you don't do what you want to do soon, the God Realm's enforcement committee will hold you accountable."
"Heh, young man, I don't know how you know about the divine realm. But I want to say, don't presume to talk about gods; you don't even understand what it means to be a god."
"Lingbing, I actually paid attention to you when you were still young. You are the chosen one of this era, a prodigy, and you have the talent to become a god."
"I foresaw your destiny; you would become a member of the Tang Clan, revitalize the Tang Clan, and save the continent from the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire. That's why I admire you so much, and even sent Wu Tong down to the mortal realm. She would be the most suitable wife for you."
Tang San showed no embarrassment, remaining as gentle and tolerant as ever, speaking openly and frankly about these shocking taboos and secrets to everyone, as if he were speaking to an equal.
Tang Wutong is the daughter of the Sea God? She is the wife the Sea God promised to Ling Bing? No wonder, no wonder, it turns out Ling Bing is the Sea God's son-in-law. With the God's guidance, it's no wonder he's so strong.
"Unfortunately, I deviated from the path you expected from the very beginning. You must be quite annoyed, right? You've been watching me, and that's truly disgusting. You've been watching me since birth. Why bother portraying yourself as so noble and righteous?"
Ling Bing sarcastically remarked that she utterly disdained his so-called favoritism and his so-called marriage of his daughter. There are many ways to win people over, but the methods he chose were not sophisticated, and the means of execution were even more disgusting.
"Sigh. Sometimes I wonder, how did we end up like this?" Tang San's gentleness vanished, his eyes turning icy. "In the end, it can only be attributed to your ingratitude, your cold-blooded ruthlessness. It's truly—"
"Are you trying to say I'm a born evil Soul Master?! What a joke! Your prestigious Shrek Academy produced two female evil Soul Masters, while I, alone with my sword, wiped out the Holy Spirit Cult. If I'm evil, who can believe me?"
A man of integrity, worthy of being called a true hero.
Standing tall among the crowd, Huo Yuhao said disdainfully, "Tang San, retreating now will at least preserve your dignity; otherwise, my sword might not be at a disadvantage."
Tang San valued filial piety above all else. Even though he hadn't experienced much fatherly love since childhood, he still regarded his father as the head of the family and considered it the guiding principle. How could a child be unfilial to his parents?
He also knew more or less about Huo Yuhao's identity, which showed that he didn't mention his parents at all. He was completely disappointed in Ling Bing. Did he not feel even a little bit of remorse?
"Tang San, why pretend? You're not ungrateful, you're not cold-blooded, so how did you treat Dugu Bo?"
Poison Douluo, just call him Poison Douluo, this so-called close friend of the Sea God Tang San, no one records what happened to him in the end.
"Hmm? Dugu Bo doesn't have the talent to become a god, so what if he is? He has lived a life of wealth and honor, and I have done my utmost."
What does Ling Bing know? Impossible! How could someone from ten thousand years in the future know such things? Unless, one of his seven freak brothers in the God Realm betrayed him…
Thinking of this, Tang San felt unhappy. He had helped them become gods, so it was impossible to say that he was bad to anyone, especially not the Seven Devils. These people were truly vengeful.
"Truly showing utmost benevolence and righteousness? Ha! Ten thousand years ago, he conquered the Jialing Pass for you, and your immortal herb came from his Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. And what did you do? You nearly caused his lineage to die out!"
Everyone lowered their heads, trembling with fear.
They felt only absurdity at that moment.
A dignified deity arguing with a mortal? And it seems their past has been exposed, making them look displeased. Is this something they can hear?
Oh no, will our savior turn into a killer?
"Countless versions of events from ten thousand years ago have already been passed down. Speak your mind as you will; justice will prevail. Today, I descend to the mortal realm for only three things: First, my daughter Wu Tong is about to ascend to godhood, and I will guide her back to the upper realm. Second, I demand that the Sun Moon Empire withdraw its troops, return the three kingdoms' territories, and swear never to invade Douluo Continent again. Third, I will slay you, you scourge of the world!"
Poseidon was a wise man. He sensed the emotions below and got straight to the point: resolving this matter quickly was the right thing to do.
"Heh, kill me? You dare to challenge me?!" Ling Bing sneered at him, a glint of fighting spirit in her eyes. "If you don't leave, I'll accuse you of interfering in the mortal realm without permission. Your opponents in the divine realm will surely be happy to toy with you like this. Oh, don't get any ideas. I do have connections with the divine realm. Hmm, someone should be looking for your true form in the divine realm by now."
Ok?
The sea god frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "It seems you have received the inheritance of a god. Then you should understand even more that I am the enforcer of the divine realm. You should ascend to godhood and not interfere with the mortal realm."
"The sky is vast and the earth is boundless; each person has their own ambitions, which cannot be fathomed. Becoming a god is not my wish; I only wish to remain in the human world and welcome a new era."
In the end, Tang San withdrew, but he also achieved part of his goal, forcing Lingbing Douluo not to exterminate the original Three Kingdoms, and even less so to Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.
For various reasons, Huo Yuhao made a compromise at the time, which gave the people of the original Three Kingdoms a lot of time to escape overseas and cosplay as Boom Beach.
Later, Tang Wutong achieved godhood, broke through her cultivation barrier, and attacked Mingdu. Emperor Xu Tianran, surprisingly, still held onto his original belief: "I will not destroy Shrek Academy, even though it has always opposed me. In my heart, it is the supreme hall of soul masters, and I am also a soul master. When we unify the continent, Shrek will also submit to us. At that time, I will wear the Shrek Academy uniform, attend classes in the academy's best classroom, and fulfill my greatest childhood wish. I will bestow upon Shrek Academy the title of Sun Moon Royal Academy, making it an eternal part of my Sun Moon Empire, assisting in the eternal continuation of my Sun Moon Empire."
He happily put on the Shrek Academy uniform and ran to Shrek Academy to become a student, just as he had thought back then, attempting to establish Shrek Academy as the Royal Academy of the Sun and Moon.
However, Shrek Academy was extremely furious, as if they had been defiled by something. Xu Tianran was severely scolded, but he was not angry. Instead, he knelt in front of the Golden Tree for three days and three nights to beg for the forgiveness of the elders.
Faced with this situation, Huo Yuhao, as a collaborator, was also extremely angry. So, during the time he went to Shrek Academy, he immediately put Xu Tianzhen on the throne as emperor.
Xu Tianran was furious upon hearing this. He still considered himself the supreme ruler of the empire and intended to return to the country to reclaim power. However, in the end, the people of the Sun Moon Empire despised him to the extreme, and Xu Tianran "died of illness" the next day.
The former emperor and empress were released back to the common people and were never allowed to enter the Ming capital again.
