Tang Ya looked panicked. Exposed by Su Ming, she didn't know how to face him.
It wasn't that she felt any particular guilt towards Su Ming.
It was more that she didn't know how to face the people she used to know.
Su Ming sneered.
"It seems you remember everything, remember all you did after becoming an Evil Spirit Master."
"Shut up!" Tang Ya snapped in a flustered rage.
At this moment, she actually tried to use her Spirit Power. As many as seven Spirit Rings appeared at her feet.
"Hah!"
Su Ming snorted coldly. With just a glare, an invisible pressure descended. Tang Ya's face turned deathly pale, blood trickled from her five orifices, her Spirit Rings shattered, and even the Blue Silver Grass that had just begun to sprout all crumbled away.
"As expected, one's true nature never changes."
Su Ming gave a cold laugh.
"Wait for tomorrow's continental headlines."
Back when the Blacksmith Association in Douluo 1 was establishing communication base stations, Su Ming had also considered setting up communications in Douluo 2. The area of the entire continent was still vast. Without real-time communication, many of his future plans would be difficult to implement.
Now, he was basically fully developed and no longer feared threats within Douluo Star.
Even if enemies descended from the heavens, Su Ming was not afraid.
Any future Spirit Tool technology, Battle Armor technology—he could bring it all out at will to transform the current Spirit Master world.
In short, he was now the protagonist of the era on Douluo Star. How much he could accumulate before becoming a god depended entirely on how much of a stir he could cause during this time, how much he could change the Spirit Master world, and how much faith he could gather!
Don't talk about hundreds or thousands of years. In an era of technological explosion, even ten years could create a completely different world.
Moreover, Su Ming would lead this technological explosion process. Any bottlenecks encountered along the way, he could directly overcome, even guide the direction.
Continental headlines?
Tang Ya was stunned, not understanding Su Ming's meaning.
Ever since Su Ming accelerated his efforts against the Evil Spirit Masters, news about them hadn't circulated as freely as before. The moment they left the Evil Eye Forest, they would be locked onto by Evil-Reflecting Mirrors and killed.
So, Tang Ya was unaware of the latest developments in the outside world.
Su Ming didn't explain to her. With a wave of his hand, a mental impact struck, knocking Tang Ya unconscious.
The next day.
Continental headlines.
The Holy Spirit Cult annihilated. Supreme Elder Ye Xishui, Chief Worship Hall Member Long Xiaoyao, and current Cult Leader Zhongli Wu, all eliminated.
Ye Xishui possessed twin Martial Souls. Her second Martial Soul: Light Phoenix. Investigation revealed her original name was Yan Xishui. Using her original name, she traveled the continent, befriending the Dark Holy Dragon Long Xiaoyao and the Light Holy Dragon Mu En.
Blue Silver Holy Maiden's identity exposed: Tang Ya of the Tang Sect. Martial Soul mutated, degenerated into Dark Blue Silver Grass, possesses devouring power. Can rapidly increase cultivation by devouring the life force and cultivation of Spirit Masters. Current Spirit Power: Level 78 (Note: Five years ago, only three Spirit Rings).
Three headlines, each capable of shaking the entire continent.
The annihilation of the Holy Spirit Cult meant the Evil Spirit Masters had lost their organization. Coupled with the current full urban coverage of Evil-Reflecting Mirrors, there was basically no need to worry about the threat of Evil Spirit Masters anymore!
Years ago, Evil-Reflecting Mirrors had already achieved full urban coverage across the continent. Now, within the Sun Moon Empire, coverage was even extending to surrounding townships. This process was already over halfway complete and would be finished in another six months.
As for the Douluo Three Nations, lacking national strength, they hadn't even begun.
The second headline, Ye Xishui's origins, also shocked the Spirit Master world.
This was huge gossip!
So, this Limit Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult had such a past.
Soon, busybodies collected and organized historical records from that era, spreading them across the continent.
"Ah, back in the day, the Light and Darkness Twin Holy Dragons shook the continent, hunting countless Evil Spirit Masters. Most Spirit Masters even held the Dark Holy Dragon Long Xiaoyao in high esteem. Although he had a dark attribute, his conduct was more upright than Mu En's. Who would have thought he joined the Holy Spirit Cult, and all for a woman."
"So, I want to know, what's the relationship between that Light Phoenix, Yan Shaozhe from Shrek, and them?"
"Does it even need saying? Mu En's illegitimate child, of course."
"Oh, so it's an illegitimate child~~~ I thought he was a direct disciple."
Shrek Academy.
Sea God Pavilion.
The expressions of many Pavilion Elders were peculiar.
They looked at Yan Shaozhe, all wondering if it was true.
Light Holy Dragon, Light Phoenix.
Although a dragon and a phoenix couldn't mutate into each other, mutual attraction was possible. A Holy Dragon and a Phoenix, the two combining to give birth...
Yan Shaozhe's face was also troubled.
He too was doubting whether he was his teacher's child.
"Teacher was indeed a philanderer in his youth, unrestrained, leaving romantic entanglements everywhere. I'm the same way. Perhaps I inherited that from him?"
"Shaozhe, there are quite a few negative rumors about you now. Regarding the Supervision Corps, you should temporarily..." Elder Zhuang began.
Yan Shaozhe closed his eyes, offering no argument.
"Xuanzi still hasn't returned. Something may have truly happened to him. With Shaozhe unable to appear publicly, it's inconvenient for him to take charge. For now, let Lin'er temporarily take command of the Supervision Corps."
"With the Holy Spirit Cult annihilated, now is the time for our Shrek Supervision Corps to sweep up the remaining Evil Spirit Masters."
The second headline caused Shrek's prestige to plummet. The Star Luo Empire boldly seized this momentum to announce the cancellation of the recommendation letter system, no longer recommending outstanding Spirit Master talents to Shrek.
Following Star Luo, the Tianhun Empire immediately followed suit.
The Douling Empire, slow on the uptake, followed half a day later, also announcing the cancellation of the old system and plans to heavily invest in the empire's official institutions.
Compared to the first two, the shock caused by the third headline was much smaller.
The reason was simple: the Tang Sect already existed in name only. Many had already forgotten its existence. No matter how much Tang Ya, the Tang Sect Leader, had fallen, the public wasn't that shocked.
The emotional shift wasn't the important part.
What Su Ming wanted was the change in subconscious perception.
With both Shrek and the Tang Sect exposed by scandal, the foundation of faith Tang San left on the continent was thoroughly shaken.
From this point on, the faith of the Spirit Master world had no connection to Tang San.
Sun Moon Imperial Capital.
Su Ming still hadn't killed Tang Ya.
Because he had discovered something good on her—Sea God Divine Power.
No divine sense, but there was divine power.
"This divine power is deeply rooted in the bloodline, likely to be passed down through heredity. That means the lineage of the Tang Sect Leader is indeed a direct lineage from Tang San."
Not a direct bloodline descendant, but still a legitimate lineage of the Sea God.
"So, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul of the Tang Sect Leader lineage always has Martial Soul awakenings and can cultivate to levels 40 or 50 because of this trace of Sea God Divine Power?"
For what purpose?
Su Ming looked at the unconscious Tang Ya, watching the Dark Blue Silver Grass quietly sprouting beside her body, and found the answer.
"The purpose was to achieve this successful mutation?"
Although it mutated into an Evil Martial Soul, that meant nothing to Tang San.
He wanted the life-force devouring effect of the Dark Blue Silver Grass.
He also recalled the history he obtained from the parallel world of Xu Yuan—a future projected by the River of Time. In that line, he ascended to the God Realm as the God of Spirit Souls. Tang Ya was killed by him, but before that, her Dark Blue Silver Grass had already harmonized with the Mysterious Heaven Technique and completed a mutation. The Mysterious Heaven Technique was also spread, becoming the source for the Clear Sky Clan in that future line to devour Abyssal energy.
