Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

Chapter 608 Reminiscence (Part 2)

Listening to Mu Xing's evaluation of the spontaneously formed "City of Sin", Di Tian couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to recreate that city of killing?" After all, the Cow Cat has an extremely fanatical desire for the Shura God's super artifact.

"What are you talking about? It's clearly humans who are trapped in their own webs and seeking their own destruction." Mu Xing listened as if he had heard a funny joke. "Did I force them to burn, kill, plunder, and bully men and women? Did I order them to rape women to satisfy their selfish desires? They chose to degenerate, choosing the quickest and dirtiest way to survive. I just... watched."

Of course, if someone knows the truth, they will definitely jump out to criticize her for not helping those people, especially the oppressed civilians.

Then, she changed the subject, "However, who would have thought that there would be three armies seeking their own destruction?" She was referring to the two royal rebel armies in the north that were also burning, killing and looting, as well as the army led by Xu Sanshi and his mother.

"Like you said before, once you start recruiting soldiers, you can't stop. Recruiting and maintaining soldiers, when standing still can't sustain it, you start fighting to support the war. It's like a wheel rolling forward in the mud downhill, the mud will only get more and more, the car body will become heavier and heavier, and the speed of going downhill will become faster and faster... When it comes to conquering the world, you can never stop. Unless the car is destroyed and everyone dies."

She didn't need to recreate the Killing City; she could simply watch from the sidelines as human desire and violence converged, fermented, and ultimately led to inevitable destruction. And she knew how to maximize her own benefits in this process. The three rebel factions, each fighting against the other and self-destructing, were proof of this.

On the advice of Princess Vina, the Tiandou Empire has officially entrusted the matters of quelling the rebellion and restoring order in the former Douling Empire to the Dragon Pavilion in order to avoid its own losses and to leverage the unfathomable Dragon Pavilion. The imperial army has not directly intervened.

This was undoubtedly an extremely clever and labor-saving decision. It not only avoided the loss of the Tiandou Empire's own army, but also did a great favor to the Dragon Pavilion, and could also completely eliminate the unstable factors with the help of the Dragon Pavilion's unfathomable power.

Meanwhile, chaos persisted within the former Douling Empire. Besides Xu Sanshi and a small group of Xue Lingxun, who occupied a small border town, two branches of the imperial family in the north also rebelled under the guise of "supporting the king." All three factions displayed poor military discipline, resorting to arson, murder, and looting, using war to support war. They also engaged in hostile acts, causing devastation and rampant crime.

As for Longge, Qiangu Jingyin has devoted all his efforts to cultivating Ye Guyi, the owner of the Holy Angel Martial Soul, in order to achieve its "God-making" plan, helping him to purify a large amount of "evil" to quickly improve his cultivation and even reach the God level. It is very likely that the Qiangu family has secretly sent outstanding spies or undercover agents into the three chaotic rebel forces.

The mission of those lurking spies was far more than simply gathering intelligence. They served as catalysts and guides, ensuring that these three forces followed the script and reached the peak of madness and destruction. At the most crucial moment, they prepared the perfect altar for the angel's arrival. What could provide more abundant, high-quality nutrients than simultaneously disrupting three sinful and desperate rebel forces, allowing them to rot rapidly through internecine warfare and internal division, giving rise to even more intense evil, before ultimately being purged by a holy angel as a savior or judge?

The entire former Douling Empire's homeland has become the stage for the Qiangu family to plan its next grand sacrifice. The rebel army of Xu Sanshi and Xue Lingxun are the unwitting lambs for blood sacrifice, while the other two armies are an unexpected surprise.

"What a...well calculated plan." Di Tian couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time took Mu Xing's words "Don't underestimate the bottom line of human beings" as his guiding principle.

Mu Xing remained silent. She was never reluctant to give the actors in the script room to perform, and now she only had to wait for the bloody finale carefully directed by Qiangu Jingyin.

During this leisure time before the final curtain opens, she doesn't mind chatting with Di Tian about some ancient secrets, such as... about the first generation of angel gods.

She had seen brief mentions of angel gods in those fragmentary historical texts—angels were objects of worship in ancient religions. Ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Hall's predecessor was a vast church. The church's power stemmed from its claim to possess and wield divine power. At the time, the Douluo Continent seemed to harbor numerous spirit beasts known as "evil bloodlines." By purifying these spirit beasts, the church gained recognition and support, reaching its peak of power. However, these so-called evil spirit beasts gradually disappeared, and the church's influence declined. With its talent dwindling, it was eventually replaced by the more organized Spirit Hall.

"Evil soul beast? That era seemed to be the time when soul beasts ruled humans. Are you one of them?" Mu Xing suddenly looked at Di Tian jokingly.

"Of course." He admitted straightforwardly, "The birth of the first generation of Angel Gods was paved with the blood of soul beasts."

"Before she left the Douluo Plane, she specifically warned me," he deliberately emphasized the word "warned," "If I dare to return with a soul beast, she will punish me in the God Realm."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xing almost burst out laughing. She knew Di Tian all too well: "Warning? Doesn't she know that gods can't interfere in the lower realms at will? God-Kings might have some vague authority, but she's just a level one god. Once she's in the God Realm, she can forget about easily interfering in the affairs of the lower realms."

"So how did you respond to her?" Mu Xing asked with interest.

Di Tian sneered, "Of course I curse her to die a miserable death in the future, and it would be best if her position as a god was shattered!"

As soon as these words came out, Mu Xing's expression instantly became extremely strange, with an indescribable sense of absurdity.

Ah, this! That first-generation angel god was indeed upright and unyielding, even to the point of being righteous and sinister. She possessed the power of light and judgment, a symbol of strength, but it also caused her to offend the gods she shouldn't have offended when she first ascended to the divine realm.

Her excessively pure light and justice directly violated the authority of several deities in the divine realm at that time, one of whom was the God of Light. Although everyone could shine in the divine realm and theoretically not interfere with each other, the way the first angel god closely bound light with moral judgment inevitably made the God of Light feel offended or overshadowed.

The other one is even more terrible. He is the Shura God who is in charge of judgment. Judgment is the most important power of the Shura God. The newly arrived Angel God also holds high the sword of judgment, which is tantamount to directly challenging the authority of the Shura God.

The God of Light is one thing; although their powers overlap, they can barely coexist. But the situation with the God of Asura is a different story… The struggle for power in the divine realm has always been fraught with undercurrents, and the inflexible nature of the first Angel God likely caused him no small setbacks against the first God of Asura.

Judgment? Stealing the god's job, huh? It would be strange if Shura would treat her well.

Mu Xing's impression of the first Angel God was that this guy was indeed awesome for creating his own divine position, but he was completely inflexible and had the most dislike for gods who exploited loopholes in the rules. In terms of being ruthless, he even surpassed Shura.

During her years as an intern under the First Shura God, Mu Xing learned a great deal from her swordsmanship teacher, such as the no-holds-barred fighting style, which aimed to defeat the opponent by any means necessary. She also vividly remembered that before she took up the sword to fight Shura, her first lesson was criminal law.

Before taking any action, consider whether it will be punishable; if it won't be punishable, it means it's feasible! Thus, amidst the undercurrents in the divine realm, the first angel god disappeared without a trace after leaving behind a divine legacy, his whereabouts remaining a mystery.

At that time, Mu Xing was also curious about the first generation angel god who disappeared quietly one day, and asked her teacher about his whereabouts.

At that time, Shura did not answer directly, but told her meaningfully: "You will know later. But before that, don't be like her."

The second generation of Angel God, in that earth-shattering battle between the two gods, shattered his own Angel Godhood, and at the cost of his own Godhood, unleashed his final strength... But in the end, he was still miserably defeated by Tang San, and his Godhood was completely shattered. His realm plummeted, and he remained at the Soul Douluo level for the rest of his life, with no possibility of ever becoming a God again.

Having said that, uncle, you have a really poisonous tongue, and you even have a curse buff.

"After she left, I sent the beast tide back to see how she was going to punish me. Unfortunately, I was ordered by that person to stay in the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest from now on. I am not allowed to appear in the human world easily, so as not to really attract the attention of the God Realm." Di Tian's tone was full of unwillingness.

Very good! This dragon is extremely vengeful, even to the point of wanting to fight to the death. Mu Xing listened silently, nodding in agreement.

It seems Wang Dong was not wronged! No, she suddenly remembered the seemingly magnanimous words Di Tian had said to the Goddess of Life before, so she tilted her head and asked, "What about the 'let bygones be bygones' you said before?"

Upon hearing this, Di Tian raised an eyebrow in slight surprise, which was probably just an act. Then, he frankly said, "Very hypocritical, isn't it?" He asked directly, as if he also disliked the statement. "I also think the phrase 'let bygones be bygones' is too hypocritical. If I ever get the chance, I'll really kill her."

"Very good." Mu Xing suddenly changed the subject without any warning, with pure inquiry in her eyes: "When was the first time you wanted to kill her?" She asked directly, as if she was just discussing an ordinary old matter.

Di Tian didn't hesitate, but simply recalled, "When I went to Shrek Academy and prepared to take those two children away, I only wanted to avoid any more trouble. Now it seems that I should have taken action then."

Then he asked Mu Xing, his dark golden pupils showing a hint of understanding: "When did you want to kill her?"

Di Tian knew very well that if a king was determined to do something, he would succeed. If Mu Xing had never harbored any murderous intentions towards Wang Dong, even if he hated Wang Dong, he couldn't just do it.

Then he got an answer that was far beyond his expectations.

"Earlier than you." Mu Xing said slowly, "The moment I saw her in the lower realm. She thought that by changing her appearance and identity, the past hatred could be wiped out."

But then, she thought about it and denied this statement, as if she was correcting an imprecise time point: "No, maybe even earlier, before I was ambushed by Tang San and exiled to the lower realm... and she is not the only one I want to kill."

The mountain breeze swept past, carrying the cold aftertaste of Mu Xing's words. Her dislike for Tang San and his faction was rooted in the resentment from her time in the God Realm.

When the original gods of good and evil chose to reincarnate into the lower realms, they made a crucial decision, motivated by various amusement, to entrust the key to the core of the divine realm to the newly ascended Shura God, Tang San, rather than the long-serving God of Destruction. Mu Xing saw this decision as not only a great injustice, but also the source of turmoil in the divine realm.

This decision was like a boulder dropped into a still lake, instantly sending ripples flying. The gods of good and evil said they wanted to inject new life into the divine realm with newcomers.

But the gods in the divine world inevitably became suspicious of the God of Destruction, and rumors spread. They privately said that if the God of Destruction himself did not have flaws or ambitions, why did the two first-generation god kings not hand over the important task to this old god with rich experience, but instead favored a newcomer?

This invisible doubt dealt a severe blow to the God of Destruction's prestige, causing him to face numerous obstacles in his subsequent efforts to advance the affairs of the Divine Realm, and thus making coordination and cooperation within the Divine Realm increasingly difficult. Mu Xing saw the essence of the situation and attributed all this chaos and the humiliation suffered by his father to Tang San's arrival and the unconventional trust he had received.

But the source of her murderous intent towards Wang Dong was far more direct than the power struggle in the divine world; it stemmed from a deep sense of humiliation.

The young Tang Xiaoqi, relying on Tang San's power and with her spoiled arrogance, made a series of unreasonable demands to Mu Xing, even going so far as to ask Mu Xing to reveal his true dragon form and carry her around. When she was rejected, she threw a tantrum and no one could appease her.

If Mu Xing's parents were not also God Kings, she would most likely not have escaped the fate of being a means of transportation for Tang Xiaoqi.

"Then she really deserves to die." Di Tian's voice was low, filled with suppressed anger.

Mu Xing's expression was unusually calm, as if she were recounting a past event that had nothing to do with her. "That day, I sat alone beneath the Ancient Tree of Life, thinking for a long time, imagining every possible way to kill her." For example... the most direct way, killing her with a dragon chariot. Didn't she want to see the dragon form? Then let her have her way.

However, this was not enough. Mu Xing paused slightly and said, "Of course, there is also her whole family. I have thought of an ending for each of them. I want them all to die." This extremely calm hatred is more terrifying than any rage.

　Prison Star: The fact that I can still be so lively after being tormented by so many despicable people and things shows just how strong this little guy is.
