Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 17. After arguing with Destruction all day, Tang Shenwang returned home and saw that the Child of Destiny's fortune had diminished. Immediately…

In the original novel of Douluo Continent, it is clearly stated that Huo Yuhao created the Spirit Pagoda and destroyed the Holy Spirit Cult, which was a great achievement, but his achievements were not as great as Tang San's.

Tang Wulin repelled the Abyss Plane, a great achievement, but his achievements were still not as great as Tang San's.

From the reader's perspective, everyone knows what Tang San did. In terms of his contributions to Douluo Continent, his achievements are far less than those of Huo Yuhao, who created the Spirit Pagoda, or Tang Wulin, who defeated the Abyss Plane.

However, if this were to be applied to reality, it wouldn't be a big mistake for the nobles of this world to say that Tang San's achievements far surpassed those of Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin.

Huo Yuhao created the Spirit Transmission Tower, giving soul spirits to replace soul rings. However, the initial soul spirits were not as powerful as the later ones. Giving a 30,000-year soul ring to someone else as their seventh, eighth, or even ninth soul ring would provide a soul spirit to assist in battle, but such soul rings would be far too weak.

Furthermore, buying soul spirits from the Spirit Pagoda is a transaction in itself, and the Spirit Pagoda will sell soul spirits to anyone who wants them, even those from Shrek Academy who have offended the tower master.

This familiar state of affairs meant that the nobles didn't feel any need for the Spirit Pagoda. Apart from the Spirit Platform, which was genuinely useful to them, the concept of soul spirits in Douluo Continent III was indeed just so-so. Therefore, Huo Yuhao's contributions to soul spirits had limited impact in the eyes of the nobles.

As for eliminating the Holy Spirit Cult, that was indeed an achievement, but for those rulers, the achievement was equally limited.

After all, evil soul masters generally don't actively seek out those powerful titled Douluo. Whether it's the Blood Infant Douluo who cultivates by sucking the blood of infants or the evil soul master who slaughtered villages that Dragon God Douluo Mu En saw when he was young, they only attack ordinary people at the bottom and cannot threaten those powerful titled Douluo families.

The deaths of some civilians are of no concern to the Soul Masters above. In fact, after some villages are completely slaughtered, the land can be reclaimed and given back to those who have been oppressed to the point of desperation. This way, the rule of the great nobles above is maintained, and they don't have to bear the infamy.

Therefore, those evil spirit masters were not the first enemies that the rulers of Douluo Continent wanted to eliminate, but the Spirit Hall was different.

The Spirit Hall pays money to all the lower-level spirit masters on the entire continent, even if their spirit is just a cow, sheep, or horse, and their first spirit ring is just a white ten-year spirit ring. As long as they are spirit masters, the Spirit Hall will pay them money. The source of that money is the Spirit Hall's coercion of the two great empires by leveraging its powerful strength.

The Spirit Hall may have been created to give commoners a chance to rise in rank, or it may have simply been intended to weaken the two great empires. But the commoners back then truly benefited, while the two great empires suffered heavy losses as a result.

In Douluo Continent I, neither of the two great empires had any titled Douluo. However, in Douluo Continent II, Tang Shenwang's achievement was to destroy the Spirit Hall and bring titled Douluo back into the embrace of the two great empires.

To put it in reality, the empire no longer needs to allocate funds to the lower-level Soul Masters across the continent. Therefore, those nobles with excellent martial souls not only have excellent martial souls, but also have no shortage of cultivation resources after ten thousand years.

There's no need to give money to lower-level Soul Masters; that money can be used to buy more cultivation resources. At the same time, those Soul Masters who originally relied on the Spirit Hall for money to survive are gone.

For Soul Masters who want to obtain cultivation resources, or even just to survive, becoming servants of the nobles of the two great empires is their only option.

Those servants could work for them, or become cannon fodder for the noble children after they died while hunting for spirit rings. After all, if the Spirit Hall didn't pay them, there were plenty of commoner spirit masters among the nobles who wanted to obtain resources to improve their strength.

Tang San was born into the Clear Sky Sect, the strongest offensive weapon spirit sect on the continent. His uncle was the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect and had no sons.

In this situation, Tang San, a representative of a top noble family on the continent, led the nobles and royal families of the two empires to completely destroy the evil Spirit Hall.

Tang San was of impeccable lineage and his political stance was unquestionable. After the Spirit Hall was destroyed, both empires gained tangible benefits. In the eyes of those nobles, Tang San's achievements were naturally unmatched by Huo Yuhao.

This ensured their rule and eliminated some evil spirit masters who were dispensable to them. Every noble knew who was more important to them.

This is precisely why Shrek City, representing noble families like Tang San, is the only city on the continent that can provide subsidies to ordinary Soul Masters.

Of course, this city generally does not allow ordinary soul masters to live there. In addition to talent, Shrek Academy's admission requirements also include a letter of introduction from the city lord. As a low-level soul master, such a thing is almost unthinkable.

This is precisely why Shrek, which perfectly aligns with the interests of the aristocratic class, can still maintain a crucial voice even without overwhelming the aristocracy in terms of strength.

Tang Ya took Huo Yuhao to collect the special allowance for Shrek City Soul Masters, and after that, in the God Realm of Douluo Continent.

At the God Realm Council, the Goddess of Life remained neutral. After Tang San and the God of Destruction argued for two full hours, the matter of destroying and expanding the God Realm was ultimately not approved.

Destruction stormed out, slamming the door behind him, while Tang San was also having a difficult time.

Convincing the Goddess of Life to remain neutral was no easy task, after all, she was the wife of the God of Destruction. Tang San racked his brains to get her to stay neutral and not side with Destruction.

Fortunately, the final result was still successful. This time, the Goddess of Life did not side with the God of Destruction. However, facing the pressure of destruction, and at the same time preventing destruction from expanding the God Realm, Tang San felt as if he had been fighting destruction for two hours, even though they had only argued for two hours.

Fortunately, Tang San has already begun planning for the Chosen One. In just over ten days, he will be able to gain the assistance of a Chosen One, which will reduce his pressure to some extent.

Thinking this, Tang San checked the status of the Child of Destiny as soon as he got home, and then he saw that the star representing the Child of Destiny's luck had dimmed a bit.

Tang San: "???"

"How could the luck of the chosen one have decreased by nearly 30%? What exactly happened?"

Tang San frowned, and his first thought was of the God of Destruction, with whom he had a grudge.

"Damn it, did he ruin my plans?"

Tang San clenched his fist, but his breathing returned to calm in the next second. He knew that he was not yet a match for Destruction, but...

"Disrupt my plans." Destroying you is the only way to your death.
