Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 171 People Come to the Door
More importantly, according to the intelligence she possessed, in the timeline of the first part of Douluo Continent, the divine consciousnesses of the Asura God and the Sea God always remained on this continent.

Although the purpose of the two gods' divine consciousness residing there was limited to supervising the succession of divine positions and strictly adhering to the rules of the divine realm, and not interfering in other affairs at will, their style of conduct still made it difficult to completely trust them.

No one can say for sure that they aren't keeping a close eye on everything happening on the mainland in some clandestine way.

After all, this world is vastly different from the world they inhabit, and she urgently needs more followers to spread the seeds of the [Power of Destiny] for her.

We need to carry out the [Law] as our [Destiny], and take this Douluo Universe to a deeper dimension.

Deep within Spirit City on the Douluo Continent, the Papal Palace stands majestically. As the core center of the Spirit Hall, this place is solemn and awe-inspiring, with an awe-inspiring pressure permeating the air, and every breath exuding supreme power.

"Your Holiness, this is the mysterious gate that has recently appeared on the continent." Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan wore a crimson robe symbolizing his status as an elder of the Spirit Hall, with the Spirit Hall emblem embroidered on the hem. The vibrant crimson color accentuated his face, adding to his eerie and cold demeanor.

Inside the heart of the Spirit Hall, in the Papal Palace, gilded candlelight flickered. Bibi Dong sat enthroned on the throne adorned with angelic wings, her dark purple skirt cascading down the jade steps, seemingly encompassing the entire night sky.

The current Pope of the Spirit Hall possessed a figure like a plum blossom tempered by frost. Her tall, slender body was draped in a long robe of flowing purple and gold with dark patterns. The six-winged angel emblem outlined in gold thread surged on the hem of her robe, and the gilded dragon-patterned belt around her waist made her slender waist appear even more delicate, yet it also revealed a breathtaking sense of power with every step she took. Every gesture she made carried the weight of a thousand pounds, and the crisp sound of her scepter tapping the ground seemed to measure the boundaries of her power.

That breathtaking face was shrouded in a dark purple halo, beneath which lay unfathomable purple eyes, the corners of which were tinged with crimson like weeping cinnabar, and her pale skin gleamed with a clear, jade-like luster. When she lowered her gaze slightly, the shadows cast by her long eyelashes concealed a breathtaking allure; and the instant she raised her eyes, the surging pressure within them was enough to make even a Title Douluo hold his breath—when the level 96 Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan knelt on one knee, he clearly felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, as if he were prey being watched by an ancient ferocious beast.

"Oh, how's the investigation going?" Bibi Dong leaned back on the papal throne, her voice as cold as an ice-cold blade, her dark purple eyes casually sweeping over the kneeling Chrysanthemum Douluo below.

She knew about that too; the entire Douluo Continent knew about that tremor.

I just don't know who created it.

She was well aware that the earth-shattering tremor had already caused a huge uproar throughout the Douluo Continent, and everyone knew about it. The only mystery was who the mastermind behind it all was.

But no matter what sinister schemes were hidden behind this fog, Bibi Dong and the Spirit Hall she led showed no fear whatsoever.

The Spirit Hall stands atop the continent, controlling the largest army of Soul Masters. The world believes the Spirit Hall possesses only ten Title Douluos, and that the combined might of the three upper sects could rival it. Little do they know, the Spirit Hall's true trump card far surpasses imagination—its number of Title Douluos exceeds twenty, more than half reaching the peak of level ninety-five, and the level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu, guards the Eternal Realm. Such strength is enough to instill fear in any ambitious individual.

“According to the test results, anyone who stepped into that space disappeared without a trace. But strangely, there are frequent fluctuations of soul power breakthroughs there—even my cultivation, which had been stagnant for many years, broke through to level ninety-six in one fell swoop thanks to this opportunity.” Chrysanthemum Douluo knelt on one knee, his crimson robe billowing with the movement, his voice filled with undisguised shock and secret excitement.

"Huh?!" Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply, and her fingertips unconsciously tightened their grip on the chair armrests.

As the chosen successor of the Rakshasa God, she knew better than anyone that in the rules of Douluo Continent, breaking through the barrier of soul power had always been the most stringent cultivation hurdle. Especially after level ninety, each leap across a level required decades or even hundreds of years of arduous cultivation and accumulation. Without the tempering of divine power descended by the divine trial, it would be impossible to achieve a qualitative leap.

“The inheritance of divine status.” She murmured, a wary glint in her crimson eyes.

The phenomenon that could trigger a collective increase in soul power must be a test sent down by a deity. But in the history of the divine realm, which great being possesses such heaven-reaching and earth-shattering means to conduct such a test with such a wide-ranging impact? Bibi Dong rubbed her well-defined fingers, the intricate patterns on her cuffs appearing and disappearing, but the doubts in her heart grew heavier.

"There is divine power within the gate, allowing people to break through. Which god has such great power?"

Not only Rakshasa Goddess, but in her understanding, even the divine succession of the Angel Temple and Seagod Island wasn't this extravagant. Even if it were a wide net cast, it shouldn't be so haphazard!
Yue Guan slightly bent one knee, his gaze fixed intently on the Pope's carriage, his tone brimming with excitement: "Your Holiness, the spatial fluctuations here are unusual, clearly indicating the existence of multiple secret realms. In my opinion, this is an excellent opportunity to explore these mysteries."

"In that case, we'll go with your suggestion and set off in one day."

Bibi Dong viewed the unknown adversary she was about to face with nothing but indifference and contempt.

As a rare possessor of twin martial souls on the Douluo Continent, and inheriting the divine position of the Rakshasa God, she had already stood at the pinnacle of power on the continent. In this vast world, there were very few beings that could command the respect of this Spirit Hall Master. Victory, in her view, was merely a matter of time; how could defeat even be possible?
Meanwhile, in the world of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect...

Wuhun Temple.

Qian Renxue was completely dumbfounded. Judging from the people she met before, they were all from the Spirit Hall, but what was certain was that they were people from ten thousand years ago.

Before they could even find some peace, another strange phenomenon began—this time, the Shameless List was about to be unveiled. In an instant, the sky trembled violently. Unlike the eerie purple light that appeared when the Hypocritical Gentlemen List was displayed in the past, this time the phenomenon was dominated by scarlet, as if the entire sky had transformed into a purgatory that burned everything. The intense crimson halo swirled around, exuding a mysterious aura that sent chills down one's spine.

If the arrival of the Void Fiend Heaven was like an undercurrent, then this moment was a raging inferno, with endless waves of scorching fire and blinding red light that seemed to engulf the world.

With a deafening roar, a brand-new stone tablet, engraved with mysterious patterns, fell from the sky. The moment the tablet hit the ground, the terrifying impact cleaved the earth like a sharp sword. Amidst the flying debris, a bottomless crack appeared in the ground, revealing its destructive power.

Everyone stared intently, and on the crimson stone tablet were ten gleaming sword-shaped patterns—indicating that ten people would be listed on this new ranking. Needless to say, everyone knew this was the despicable list of shamelessness, and those included were destined for infamy.

The sky was swallowed by crimson clouds, the surging waves of clouds like a boiling sea of ​​blood, staining the entire sky an ominous crimson. The earth below seemed to have undergone an apocalyptic baptism, with ruins and scorched earth intertwined, echoing the blood-red clouds in the sky, outlining a chilling end-of-the-world scene.

This bizarre catastrophic scene descended upon Shrek Academy once more. The landing point was only a hundred meters from the infamous "Scumbag List," adding an extra layer of eeriness. A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth as the crimson stone tablet, carrying overwhelming pressure, crashed down ten thousand meters in front of Shrek City. In an instant, raging flames erupted all around, as if pouring from the depths of hell, the tongues of fire swirling and turning the entire area into a living hell, the intense heat and terror palpable.

Seeing that the lists appearing one after another were all related to Shrek Academy, a joking remark circulated among the crowd: "There are thousands of shameless people, and Shrek Academy accounts for half of them." Although it was somewhat sarcastic, it also expressed the astonishment and helplessness of the crowd towards the frequent strange phenomena in this land.

However, the brief tranquility was merely the prelude to terror. An even more horrifying sight appeared in the sky—enormous crimson lines resembled countless peering eyes, their chilling gaze seemingly capable of piercing the soul. At the same time, from the red-glowing stone tablet, a suffocatingly evil power erupted, as if a demon of slaughter was about to break free of its seal, injecting endless fear into the hearts of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, that familiar yet eerie female voice echoed once again deep within everyone's consciousness...

[Gentlemen, it's been a long time. A year has passed, please don't mind.]

[Let me also take this opportunity to introduce today's list—the Shameless List]

The righteous path of humanity must not be allowed to be abandoned, for righteousness and cold-heartedness defile the world.

Driven by profit and greed, they are devoid of kindness; deceiving for fame and engaging in petty theft, their virtue has been destroyed.

Conscience is discarded like straw dogs, and shame is abandoned like tigers and wolves.

May the gentle breeze cleanse away the filth and impurities, leaving behind only righteousness and radiant light.

Those who make this list are all shameless, disregard morality, ethics, or social norms, and engage in behaviors that violate their conscience and harm the interests of others, without any sense of remorse.

To pursue personal gain by any means necessary, such as deceiving, betraying, or framing others; to be inconsistent in word and deed, knowingly engaging in wrongdoings and even taking pride in it; to trample on moral principles without any bottom line, such as embezzlement, breaking promises, etc., and showing no remorse afterward.

They are two-faced, appearing friendly to people on the surface while maliciously slandering, sowing discord, and plotting behind their backs.

Instead of being grateful for the help they receive, they keep asking for more, even taking other people's kindness for granted.

They bully and exploit the weak at will, but fawn and flatter the strong, showing no backbone or principles whatsoever.

Knowing full well the truth, they deliberately distort and falsify it, misleading others with lies and even smearing innocent people.

For the sake of profit, one can abandon morality, family ties, friendship, and everything else. As long as one can gain profit, one will not hesitate to harm even the people closest to them.

After being exposed for their mistakes, they not only fail to apologize or reflect on their actions, but also defend themselves with righteous indignation and even shift the blame to others.

They exploit others' sympathy and kindness to deceive; they appropriate others' labor and achievements for themselves, and jump out to claim credit after others have made their contributions, without feeling any shame.

They renege on promises they've made, even exploiting the trust of others for personal gain, showing a complete lack of integrity. Seeing others in distress, they not only fail to offer help but also seize the opportunity to kick them while they're down, elevating themselves by belittling or harming the other person.

These people are all on this list.
