[Yu Xiaogang: The reason Tang San broke the law by descending to the Douluo Continent, attempting to kill Xu Yunhan, and threatening Juzi to return the Star Luo Empire was to prevent her from uniting the continent, so Huo Yuhao could restore the Tang Sect to its peak.]
In Slaughter City.
After Tang San explained his reasoning behind the answer to Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang immediately submitted it on the virtual screen.
Soon after, realizing only two response slots were left, two more factions rushed to submit their answers.
With all ten slots taken, the system began its evaluation.
In the livestream, many people waited anxiously.
Soon, bold red letters appeared before everyone's eyes, accompanied by the system's cold, mechanical voice.
[Notice: Lin Yu's answer: The reason Tang San broke the law by descending to the Douluo Continent, attempting to kill Xu Yunhan, and threatening Juzi to return the Star Luo Empire was to prevent Juzi from uniting the continent and maintain his influence through faith in the Douluo Continent. Correct answer!]
[Reward: Three Red Strings of Fate, already distributed.]
[Notice: Dugu Bo's answer: Tang San broke the law and descended to the Douluo Continent to prevent Juzi from uniting the continent and maintain his faith on the Douluo Continent. Correct answer!]
[Reward: Sun-Moon Empire's Flying Soul Tool Manufacturing Technology, already distributed.]
[Notice: Dugu Yan's answer: Tang San descended to the Douluo Continent to prevent Juzi from uniting the continent and maintain his faith in the Douluo Continent. Correct answer!]
[Reward: One Bottle of Xuan Shui Pills, already distributed.]
What?! They all belong to Lin Yu's crew?!
In the live stream, seeing the system announce that all three rewards had gone to Lin Yu's group, many people couldn't help but groan in frustration.
A wave of jealousy and resentment flooded the chat.
"Was my answer wrong?"
As they realized their answers differed from Lin Yu's, Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, and Dai Tianfeng all sighed in frustration.
Missing out on the first reward was understandable, but the second and third rewards were so practical—it was a shame not to have won anything!
After distributing the rewards, it was time for the punishments.
[Notice: Wuhun Hall—He Qingfeng's answer: Tang San descended to the Douluo Continent to prevent Xu Yunhan from damaging the relationship between Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong, and also to prevent his good brother Dai Mubai's family from losing their position in the continent. Incorrect answer!]
[Punishment: Eight levels of soul power deducted!]
[Notice: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—Lin Yuexin's answer: Tang San descended to the Douluo Continent to prevent Xu Yunhan's existence from affecting Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong's relationship, and to ensure that Dai Mubai's family retained their power on the Douluo Continent and that his disciple Xue Beng's lineage wasn't erased. Incorrect answer!]
[Punishment: Third soul ring revoked!]
…
[Notice: Yu Xiaogang's answer: Tang San descended to prevent Juzi from uniting the continent so Huo Yuhao could restore the Tang Sect to its peak. Incorrect answer!]
[Punishment: Three levels of soul power deducted!]
The system quickly announced the punishments.
"We got it wrong?"
In Slaughter City, when Tang San saw that his answer was incorrect, his expression darkened.
He couldn't believe it. After all, in the livestream, he'd done whatever it took to secure his goals. And yet, his goal wasn't to restore the Tang Sect but to preserve his faith. Was faith really that important to a future god?
"Haha! All the rewards went to us this time!"
In contrast to the frustration and anger of Wuhun Hall, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Tang San's group, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were overjoyed.
All three rewards had gone to their side.
The Marriage Thread and the flying soul tool technology weren't of much interest to Dugu Bo, though he had to admit he was curious about the former. But he knew Lin Yu wouldn't share that one.
The Xuan Shui Pill reward, however, caught their interest. Both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were confident Lin Yu would share a few with them, given how they'd helped him answer the question.
[Ning Fengzhi: @Lin Yu, is faith really that important for gods? Why would Tang San go to such lengths to preserve it?]
After the system announced the rewards and punishments, Ning Fengzhi tagged Lin Yu in the chat, curious to understand the significance of faith in gods.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi's inquiry, Lin Yu didn't hesitate to explain.
[Lin Yu: Haha, of course, faith is important for gods! Did you know that the only way for a Limit Douluo to ascend to godhood is to gather faith and condense it into a divine position? So you tell me, is faith important or not?]
Faith is the key to becoming a god? Can such an intangible thing be gathered?
Ning Fengzhi was shocked by Lin Yu's reply.
[Ning Fengzhi: Is it possible to gather faith?]
[Lin Yu: Absolutely. But you need to be a level 99 Limit Douluo first, and likely meet certain conditions before you can sense and collect faith.]
[And by the way, your answer was dead wrong. If Tang San was worried about Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong's relationship, he would've stopped Juzi from taking Huo Yuhao's seed in the first place, but he didn't.]
[As for the idea that Tang San forced Juzi to return the Star Luo Empire for Dai Mubai's sake? That's a joke! If he cared so much, why would he torment Huo Yuhao repeatedly in the Yin Yang Love Querying Valley? Huo Yuhao is directly descended from Dai Mubai's bloodline!]
Do you guys think Tang San is just shameless? Let me tell you, he's more than that—he's rotten to the core, a selfish guy who hides behind a facade of righteousness.]
[And didn't you notice? Yu Xiaogang answered that Tang San did it all for the Tang Sect, which is something Tang San told him to say. Looks like even Tang San is beginning to confront his hypocrisy!]
After answering Ning Fengzhi's question, Lin Yu continued to ridicule Tang San.
