Chapter 76 The Sky Displays the Future? Tang San is Terrified!
The sky is like a mirror hanging in the heavens, revealing not only the hypocrisy of the past, but also piercing the fog of the future.
The Dark World, Shrek City.
Hei Xuanzi stared blankly upwards, listening to the insults and disdain coming from his ears. The anger in his heart burned fiercely, but was extinguished by a deep sense of powerlessness.
He felt like an "incompetent husband".
Watching helplessly as their own petty problems are displayed to the whole world, not only being pointed at and gossiped about, but also having to listen to others praising how talented and ambitious Old Wang (Bai Xuanzi) is.
This is absolutely disgusting!
"Go ahead and broadcast... broadcast! If you're so capable, broadcast until the day I die!"
Hei Xuanzi gritted his teeth and plopped back down on the stone bench. His self-destructive appearance made the surrounding soul masters look down on him even more.
He could neither interfere with the sky nor silence the crowd; he could only stand there like a wooden puppet, forced to face the next public execution.
However, what Tianmu did next made everyone who was planning to continue watching the "circus" hold their breath instantly.
[Lines of characters, as black as ink and radiating a chilling, eerie light, slowly appeared.]
"The following content will return to the perspective of the dark world."
"To ensure objectivity and continuity in the comparison, the timeline of the following scenes will be synchronized with the same point in time in the 'white world.'"
"In other words, what the sky is about to display is something that was originally supposed to happen in the underworld in the future."
boom--!
These few simple lines of text struck the hearts of all living beings on the Douluo Continent like a heavy hammer.
"Predicting the future? Can this Sky Curtain even do something like that?!"
"Predicting the trajectory of the future... This is really going to be hilarious!"
What will happen in the future?
"As residents of the underworld, is it possible for us to prepare for certain things by knowing about the future in advance?"
"Hmm... In that case, continuing to broadcast our underworld stories doesn't seem so bad."
Many people in the underworld began to feel excited about what was about to be shown.
Of course, this does not include Hei Xuanzi.
After all, in Hei Xuanzi's view, continuing to broadcast Tianmu would do more harm than good.
No matter how much the future is shown, the perspective will only focus on Huo Yuhao and Shrek Academy.
This will only make the Black Shrek appear even more incompetent in comparison to the White Shrek.
...
The realm of the gods, the temple of the sea god.
Tang San's face was so dark it looked like it was about to drip water.
Like Xuanzi, he had no desire to look at this damned sky anymore.
However, even as a god-king, he discovered that he could not interfere with that celestial canopy with his divine sense in the slightest.
'Damn it, why are they showing the future at a time like this?'
Tang San roared anxiously in his heart.
As the mastermind behind this grand plan, his future plans are numerous and far-reaching.
The "tempering" of Huo Yuhao, the harvesting of the soul beast race, the purge within the God Realm...
He had far too many "bad things" planned to do.
He originally thought that as long as the screen stopped playing, he could take advantage of this time to use his divine king powers to quickly "recover" those arrangements that hadn't yet been exposed, or to completely erase those crucial pieces of evidence.
That way, there would be no way to prove it when the person is dead.
But now, the sky has fast-forwarded directly to the future!
This means that all his actions are meaningless in the face of the sky.
Even if he wants to change it now, what Tianmu broadcasts is still his original, "authentic" conspiracy trajectory.
'What if...what if the shady things I did in the future are exposed...'
Tang San subconsciously glanced at Xiao Wu beside him.
At this moment, Xiao Wu was staring nervously at the sky, completely unaware of the flickering panic in her third brother's eyes.
Tang San's heart pounded like a drum. He had never felt so strongly that the situation was slipping completely out of his control.
"Damn it, who created this 'sky curtain'?"
...
The images on the screen shifted, and time moved rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed in a flash on the screen.
The scene lingers in a classroom in Shrek Academy's outer courtyard.
Zhou Yi still wore that aged and stern face. She stood on the podium, her hands resting on the table, her sharp gaze sweeping over the students below.
"Listen up, newbies," Zhou Yi's voice was hoarse and cold. "The three-month observation period is over. Next, you will face Shrek Academy's most sacred, yet most brutal, stage—the New Student Assessment Competition."
"Don't blame me for not warning you, this isn't just a competition, it's a survival game."
"Shrek Academy doesn't need mediocre talent. In this competition, more than half of the students will be expelled and fired!"
Only those with the highest scores are eligible to remain in the academy and enjoy its resources.
The fear and sense of urgency on the faces of the young trainees in the video were clearly conveyed to reality.
In the reality of the underworld, the Soul Masters, witnessing this scene, erupted in a series of complex sighs.
"There was a time when I also thought that this 'elite elimination system' was Shrek's glory and a symbol of strength."
A Soul Master who had been eliminated by Shrek Academy said bitterly, "Back then, we felt that we were eliminated because we were useless."
"But now... after seeing the White Shrek next door, I realize that this is simply a manifestation of the Black Shrek's own incompetence!"
"That's right!" another Soul Master immediately chimed in, his tone full of sarcasm.
"Why do we have to eliminate more than half of the people? We didn't understand before, but now we do. It's because Black Shrek's teaching ability is too poor! They can't even teach students with only a little bit of talent; they can only pick out the top geniuses to teach!"
"Another point is resource allocation! Because of poverty and insufficient resources, they can only allocate all resources to a small group of people and then throw away the rest of the seedlings like garbage."
"This kind of 'survival of the fittest' is essentially the selfishness and mediocrity of managers!"
After experiencing the shock of the White Shrek Academy's "education for all, all-rounder Soul Pills, all-rounder Soul Spirits," the Soul Masters of the Dark World, when they looked at their own cruel elimination system, could only feel two words in their eyes—"incompetence."
They realized that under Bai Xuanzi's order, even students without talent could make great progress through cultivation techniques and resource supply.
But at Black Shrek, if you're not exceptional enough, you're out.
Black Shrek doesn't teach ordinary people.
...
In the celestial display.
Huo Yuhao sat in his seat, his fists clenched tightly, his gaze fixed on Zhou Yi. His eyes showed not a questioning of the competition rules, but rather a ruthless, almost desperate, intensity.
"Only by staying can I become stronger," Hei Huo Yuhao silently vowed in his heart. "I must perform well and make the school value me!"
The real-life Huo Yuhao, looking at his future self, sighed with deep emotion.
"Yes... there's nothing we can do about it."
Hei Huo Yuhao turned his head and looked at Wang Dong, who also had a complicated expression, and said with a wry smile, "Wang Dong, although everyone says that the academy here is too cruel, that's just how the environment is."
"We don't have a leader as powerful as Bai Xuanzi, and our teaching resources and capabilities are inferior to those of the other side."
"This competition system, though cruel, may be the only way for Shrek Academy to maintain its title as the 'Number One Academy' at present."
"The strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive. Since I can't change this environment, I can only adapt to it."
Hei Huo Yuhao's eyes sharpened: "As long as I can achieve a sufficiently impressive result in this freshman competition in the future, the academy will definitely see my value and thus give me special training."
"At that time, I might also be able to gain access to core resources, just like Bai Huoyuhao..."
