Chapter 116: Detective Da Ming There Is Only One Truth!
"Big brother, if you ask me, we should tell Sister Xiao Wu about this. I don't see what Xiao Qi did to offend Tang San; there's no reason for her to suffer like this. How long can we even stall? Sooner or later, Tang San will use his divine sense, and Xiao Qi will still have to obediently walk into the Qiankun Sentiment Valley.
Tang San spends all day testing others how is he the Sea God? He's more like the God of Trials." Er Ming was clearly dissatisfied with Tang San.
Da Ming shook his head. "Er Ming, if Sister Xiao Wu finds out about this, Tang San will definitely punish us.
Though, out of respect for Sister Xiao Wu, he won't go too far. But I don't want to be summoned back to the Divine Realm I'm more comfortable here in the lower world.
As for Xiao Qi, we'll talk to Tang San later and see if there's another way to test her. Having her enter the Qiankun Sentiment Valley alone is indeed a bit extreme."
In the Divine Realm, both Da Ming and Er Ming had been revived as divine officials, meaning they had no godhood of their own.
They were also at the bottom in terms of strength. Because of their origins as soul beasts, some gods in the Divine Realm were extremely dissatisfied with their status as divine officials.
According to the laws of the Divine Realm, soul beasts couldn't become gods. If not for Tang San's protection, they would have been eliminated long ago.
Er Ming snorted. "Fine, big brother, you have a point. But even now, I still don't understand who came up with the rule that gods have a limited number of people they can bring to the Divine Realm? If it weren't for this rule, Ma Hongjun's wife, Bai Chenxiang, wouldn't have been left to die in Douluo.
Letting a brother's wife die like that it's simply dishonorable! If I were Tang San, I'd have taken Bai Chenxiang to the Divine Realm, even if it meant taking a risk."
Da Ming's expression grew thoughtful. "That rule really is strange. After all, in the Divine Realm, Rong Nianbing is an exception.
As far as I know, Rong Nianbing brought his eight wives, his master and mistress, and even some descendants to the Divine Realm. And he's only a first level god. Compared to Tang San, who wields two godhoods, he's far weaker in both rank and strength.
So, logically, there shouldn't have been a limit on how many people Tang San could bring. If Rong Nianbing could bring so many people, it means the so called quota system didn't exist back then."
Er Ming also found it odd. "Yeah, big brother, why is that? I remember it was Tang San himself who told us about this rule. Strange. Rong Nianbing arrived in the Divine Realm before Tang San, but at the end of the day, he's only a first level god."
Da Ming's face changed slightly. "It seems that the limitation on bringing people to the Divine Realm wasn't always there at least, it didn't exist during Rong Nianbing's time.
This kind of rule must have been passed through the Divine Realm Committee. And the only person we heard about this rule from was Tang San himself. Among the people we know who hold power, only Tang San had the authority to propose such a rule in the Divine Realm Committee."
Da Ming continued thinking aloud, stroking his chin as his presence suddenly radiated the aura of a master detective.
"Could it be that Tang San created this rule to let Bai Chenxiang die in the lower realm, to let Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong die as well, all to showcase that he was willing to be bound by rules? Was this how he gained the favor of the two divine kings and secured control over the Divine Realm's central authority?"
Logically speaking, after the first generation God of Shura left the Divine Realm alongside the two divine kings, control over the Divine Realm's core should have passed to the God of Destruction or the Goddess of Life, given their seniority.
The first generation God of Shura supporting Tang San made sense Tang San was his successor, after all. It was only natural for him to give Tang San an advantage.
But the first generation God of Good and the first generation God of Evil had no prior relationship with Tang San, so why did they support him? Unless Tang San deliberately presented himself as someone who strictly followed the rules.
After all, a god responsible for managing the Divine Realm couldn't be driven by emotions they had to abide by the rules and set an example for others. If a law enforcing god abused his authority, it would lead to chaos.
And given that a day in the Divine Realm equaled a year in the lower world, letting Bai Chenxiang and the others age and die wouldn't take long at all.
Er Ming was stunned. He had always thought of himself as the one more critical of Tang San, while Da Ming was more reserved. But now, he felt like Da Ming was taking things even further.
"Big brother, this theory sounds pretty far fetched."
"Maybe it does, but it's still a possibility." Da Ming calmly sipped his tea. "Anyway, Er Ming, we can't change the past. Whatever you heard today, keep it buried in your heart once we step outside. Don't speak of it again, understand?"
Er Ming pounded his chest. "Big brother, you know me my lips are sealed, even back in the soul beast world!"
Meanwhile, under Jing Hongchen's leadership, Shrek Academy's exchange students arrived at Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, while Xiao Hongchen and the others were sent to Shrek Academy for their studies.
For most Shrek Academy students, coming to Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy was a novel experience. But for He Caitou, it was a heavy responsibility. To him, the current royal family of Sun Moon Empire was utterly detestable his parents and sisters had died from poison, and he had only escaped by sheer luck, hiding his real name, Xu He, and taking on the alias He Caitou.
"I have to learn as much as I can here and return to repay my debt to Shrek Academy. Teacher Fan Yu saved my life, and Shrek has nurtured me all this time.
It's time for me to give back." He Caitou made a silent vow as his gaze lingered on Fan Yu, who had also joined the exchange program as a Shrek Academy teacher.
His responsibilities were twofold: to study soul tools and to assist the exchange students in any way necessary.
Before long, under Jing Hongchen's guidance, the group entered the academy and underwent the necessary "entry tests." After finishing, they stepped out of the testing hall.
Beibei took a deep breath, scanning his surroundings. Compared to Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy's architecture seemed much more modern. "Excuse me, could you tell me where Huo Yuhao lives?" Beibei asked the nearby administrator, Lin Jiayi.
Lin Jiayi was momentarily stunned and looked at Beibei with some suspicion. "You're asking about Huo Yuhao? Young man, do you know him?"
Lin Jiayi was well aware that Huo Yuhao was one of the most prominent figures at Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy.
After all, his contributions had been instrumental in securing victory for the Sun Moon Battle Team. Moreover, Huo Yuhao's unique background made him a perfect example of the empire's open minded approach he was the son of the White Tiger Duke, yet, having suffered injustice, he had abandoned his past and joined the Sun Moon Empire.
Not only was he not discriminated against, but he was also nurtured with great care. It was a prime example of how the Sun Moon Empire valued talent.
Of course, this also meant the White Tiger Duke's reputation had suffered greatly.
