Seeing his figure appear on this light screen, Tang San's expression inevitably turned ugly.
Dark, churning light surged within his blue eyes as he stared fixedly at the figure identical to himself within the light screen, a tempest raging in his heart.
Lin Feng, that fellow… Could it be that he wanted to settle accounts with him?
Previously, he had exposed his various crimes through this light screen, laying them out one by one before everyone, and now he had directly placed his figure upon the light screen. What on earth was he planning to do?
Was he going to judge him in front of everyone?
No, no one could even dream of judging Tang San!
He was a god!
He was a Law Enforcement God holding both the Sea God and Asura God Positions!
What kind of thing was Lin Feng? Just some fellow who popped up from who knows where, yet he dared to judge him?
Besides, regarding what happened inside that light screen, as long as he steadfastly refused to admit to it, what could anyone possibly do to him?
That was merely something from an alternate timeline; what did it have to do with him? What did it have to do with his present self?
Tang San continuously tried to convince himself in his heart, but that wave of unease felt like Blue Silver vines, constantly Binding his heart.
When the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils saw themselves also appearing on the light screen, their expressions couldn't help but change slightly.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other's eyes. They had no idea what kind of tricks Lin Feng intended to pull.
Right now, it wasn't just Tang San appearing in this light screen; they were all on it as well. Could it be that their own matters were coming up next?
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao, sitting in the spectator seats of the Body Sect, looked at the figure on the light screen, a trace of icy light welling up within those blue eyes.
Huo Yuhao could be said to deeply believe what was happening on the light screen; that was something Lin Feng had allowed him to see, and Lin Feng would never deceive him. This was also Huo Yuhao's absolute trust in the headmaster.
If he had not entered this Shrek Academy in the Sky, then his future… would have been nothing more than acting as Tang San's dog.
Having his destiny manipulated by others, being repeatedly killed and resurrected, being played with like a pawn, and finally having to gratefully return to his ancestors, bring his enemy up to the Divine Realm, and happily reconcile with the person who had tortured him half to death?
What was displayed in that light screen was indeed a seemingly wonderful ending: his mother was resurrected, he was together with his beloved, the family was reunited, and everyone was happy.
But what was the reality?
Huo Yuhao saw it all crystal clear.
The Huo Yuhao inside that light screen had lost his freedom and his true self.
He was no longer the youth who swore before his mother's grave to sever ties with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion lineage, no longer the youth filled with hatred who wanted to change his destiny through his own strength.
He had turned into a domesticated tool, a pawn clutched firmly in Tang San's palm, where even his own surname was not his to choose.
Right at this moment, the eyes of Tang San and Huo Yuhao met across the light screen.
Tang San sat within the Divine Realm, while Huo Yuhao sat in the spectator seats of the Body Sect. Separated by the light screen, those blue eyes and those azure eyes crossed everything at this very moment to lock directly onto each other.
Tang San naturally could see the iciness within Huo Yuhao's eyes, but he did not care.
Huo Yuhao had not yet attained Divinity now, so he was not his opponent.
Did he really think Huo Yuhao was like him, capable of defeating a Divinity before attaining Divinity?
Even if Huo Yuhao's strength became countless times greater than the Huo Yuhao in the contemporaneous light screen, becoming a Divinity was becoming a Divinity, and not becoming one meant not becoming one.
The gap between the two could not be simply glossed over.
A faint sneer curled the corners of Tang San's mouth, and the slight unease in his heart gradually subsided.
Afterwards, Tang San spoke directly, his voice passing through the light screen to reach everyone's ears.
"Lin Feng, you are slandering this deity like this. Exactly what is your intention?"
Tang San directly chose to turn the tables and seize the initiative first.
No matter what, he had to solidify the fact that Lin Feng was slandering him.
As long as Lin Feng was pinned to the position of "slander," then no matter how realistic the things displayed within the light screen were, they would merely be Lin Feng's nonsense.
"You conjured up this light screen, first using false images to provoke the relationship between this deity and the gods of the Divine Realm, and now you've placed my figure upon this light screen. Could it be that you intend to judge this deity in front of everyone?"
"This deity is the Law Enforcement God of the Divine Realm. How can this deity tolerate such humiliation from a person of unknown origins like you?"
Upon hearing Tang San's words, the gazes of the crowd fell successively onto Lin Feng within the light screen.
The crowd cared quite a bit about Tang San, especially the people on Douluo Continent, who had all grown up listening to the legendary stories of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Especially that Sea God Tang San; his name was practically thunderous to the ear, and many Spirit Masters regarded Tang San as an idol-like existence.
Yet right now… having witnessed with their own eyes the things Tang San had done, and then hearing Tang San's righteous questioning at this very moment, a nameless, unspeakable feeling inevitably arose in their hearts.
However, they couldn't tell what was true and what was false; they really couldn't tell at all.
As things stood, the two sides could be said to be at each other's throats.
On one side was Tang San, the Law Enforcement God of the Douluo God Realm, and on the other was Lin Feng, whose strength was unfathomable.
If a conflict truly broke out, would it directly shatter the entire Douluo Continent?
After all, Tang San was a Divine Rank expert, and Lin Feng was the same. Moreover, the number of gods on Lin Feng's side was definitely not small. Not to mention the more than ten new gods who had recently condensed their God Positions, just the strength displayed by Lin Feng himself was enough to make one's heart race with terror.
As the saying goes, when immortals fight, Mortals suffer.
At this moment, the people on Douluo Continent basically all shared this thought, hoping that the two sides would not actually start fighting.
Regardless of who won or lost, the ones out of luck would be ordinary Spirit Masters and Mortals like them.
Right when everyone's hearts were filled with anxiety and trepidation, Lin Feng spoke.
A calm smile hung on his face as his gaze fell upon Huo Yuhao and the others.
"Next up, these are your opponents. Choose your opponents well; within five years, you must defeat them."
As soon as these words came out, the entire venue first fell silent, followed by an uproar. The gazes of the crowd also followed to fall upon Huo Yuhao and the others.
What did Lin Feng's words mean?
Allowing Huo Yuhao and the others to pick their own opponents? Who were the opponents? Tang San? Or the entire Divine Realm?
Five years… to let them challenge gods?
