Chapter 660 This world is seriously ill.
now.
The group chat participants had mixed feelings and couldn't help but sigh.
[Ling Luochen: Think of Jiang Nannan's mother. She was seriously ill, yet she had to take care of her child and earn money to make a living. Jiang Nannan, a child, even though she understood everything, couldn't do anything.]
[Ling Luochen: If this were the world of Dou Yi, when Jiang Nannan awakened to the eighth level of innate soul power, the hardships she and her mother endured would finally be over.]
[Shui Bing'er: Su Yan is absolutely right. Jiang Nannan's situation gives us a very clear picture of the real Dou Di Zhu 2 world, rather than the superficial one where there are more evil spirit masters.]
[Ling Yuan: So here's the question: If, at this moment, an evil spirit master discovers Jiang Nannan and helps her, then I ask you, if you were Jiang Nannan, would you choose to join him?]
[Dugu Yan: An Evil Soul Master?]
[Dugu Yan: What evil spirit master? -- Please call me the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult, Bilin!]
Ning Rongrong: It has to be you again!
[Dugu Yan: You and your father have depended on each other since you were little. Now your father is on the verge of death. Even if you awaken the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, no one will help you. But now I have not only saved your father, but I am also willing to train you.]
[Ning Rongrong: Respected Saintess Bilin, my life is now yours!]
[Poseidon: While it's true that evil spirit masters aren't exactly good people, that's probably the real reason why there are so many evil spirit masters in the world of Douluo Continent 2!]
[Ye Guyi: Ancestor, this world is seriously ill!]
[Zhu Lu: Ancestor, do you think there might be good people among the evil spirit masters?]
[Zhu Zhuqing: There are no good people among the evil spirit masters, but it's undeniable that some of them may have been kind at one time.]
Su Yan looked at Zhu Zhuqing and gave her an approving look.
Jiang Nannan nestled in Su Yan's arms, her eyes red-rimmed.
Su Yan gently patted her back to comfort her, "It's okay, it's like nothing happened to you, isn't it?"
"Um!"
Jiang Nannan stepped out of Su Yan's arms and nodded heavily, saying, "Thank you, Brother Su Yan."
[Su Yan: Let's imagine for a moment, if Jiang Nannan were in the era of Douyi, would this tragedy of selling herself to save her mother still have happened?]
[Bibi Dong: Of course not. Even when I was being unreasonable, a genius with innate soul power of level eight would still receive our full support from the Spirit Hall, and we would use all our resources to save her mother.]
[Shui Yue'er: Actually, even putting aside Jiang Nannan, any Soul Master with average talent could live a comfortable life with subsidies.]
[Ling Luochen: It's a pity that by the time we reached the Douluo Continent 2 era, there were constant conflicts between empires. Soul Masters without a background either had to become lackeys of aristocratic families or become cannon fodder on the battlefield.]
[Ling Yuan: If Jiang Nannan lived in our Spirit Hall era, she would have her spiritual awakening done for free by a Spirit Hall deacon in the village. The lower-level deacons would then report it up the chain of command, eventually reaching the Pope's Palace in Spirit City, right before His Holiness the Pope.]
[Ling Yuan: Then, the Spirit Hall will not hesitate to cover all of her mother's medical expenses and will naturally enroll her in the Spirit Academy, providing her with preferential treatment and resources. Her fate will be completely changed.]
[Ling Yuan: No matter what selfish motives our Pope may have, the Spirit Hall doesn't consider lineage, only talent. In a sense, this can be considered fair. In short, no matter what, it's impossible for someone to be forced by a noble sect to sell themselves to save their mother.]
[Group member #9: I'm afraid that if Flander finds out, he'll secretly hide and not report it.]
[Everyone: Hahaha!!]
Bibi Dong's face darkened upon hearing this.
[Bibi Dong: Liu Erlong, to be honest, if it weren't for your sake, Flander would have to die in this situation!]
[Bibi Dong: This is a disgrace to our Spirit Hall. Putting aside his selfishness, he has also hindered the growth of a genius.]
[Liu Erlong: When I see Flander again, I'll beat him so badly that even Yu Xiaogang wouldn't recognize him. I'll send you the video then.]
Su Yan was also filled with emotion at this moment!
[Su Yan: Pope, have you delivered the perks I asked you to give Su Yuntao last time?]
[Bibi Dong: Nana, has everything been settled?]
[Hu Liena: Teacher, all the rewards have been distributed, and the Spirit Hall has praised Su Yuntao as a role model in various regions. The benefits for all grassroots deacons have also been improved.]
[Ning Rongrong: That's for sure! This Deacon Su Yuntao has awakened a power even stronger than that of the God King, Su Yan.]
[Su Yan: That shows your narrow-mindedness. Giving Su Yuntao a reward isn't just because he awakened my martial soul, but also because he represents the millions of grassroots members of the Spirit Hall.]
[Su Yan: You don't feel much about the Spirit Hall's free spirit awakening because you are all from noble and sect backgrounds; you were born superior to others.]
[Su Yan: But for ordinary people, awakening their martial soul is the only chance in their lives to defy fate, and also the fairest and most just opportunity they will ever have.]
[Su Yan: It either works or it doesn't. No noble power can interfere, and it doesn't care about one's background.]
[Su Yan: This is just like my original world, where poverty alleviation efforts in rural areas were carried out regardless of cost. As long as one's soul power was measured, the Spirit Hall would register them, allowing them to receive subsidies and improve their lives.]
Su Yan truly respected the Spirit Hall's offer of free Spirit Awakening across the entire continent.
This is a chance for all ordinary people to defy fate and change their destiny, regardless of their background or origin. Where else in life can there be such absolute fairness?
So put yourself in his shoes, Tang San destroyed the Spirit Hall, cutting off the only path to advancement for ordinary people. It wouldn't be unreasonable to put a statue of him kneeling for tens of thousands of years.
[Su Yan: Then here's the question again, Boo! Boo! Why didn't later empires continue the practice of helping commoners awaken their martial souls? Couldn't they have nurtured powerful soul masters to serve them?]
【Call me Your Majesty: I didn't ask, I don't understand.】
[Bai Chenxiang: Boil! Boil! Why?]
[Su Yan: That's a good question, but you should first ask Bibi Dong and the others how many of the genius Soul Masters awakened for free by the Spirit Hall were recruited by the Empire and the nobility.]
[Su Yan: The Spirit Hall was founded with the intention of benefiting the continent, which is why it's willing to do this, even if the geniuses it awakens are poached by the imperial nobles. However, for the empire, this is a thankless task; if these commoner spirit masters become powerful in the future, they will pose an even greater threat to them.]
[Su Yan: We don't deny that the Spirit Hall also has ambitions. Bibi Dong is a madwoman, but for millions of ordinary people in the world, the Spirit Hall is the only tower that allows them to break through class barriers and change their fate.]
Bibi Dong: ...
[Liu Erlong: Hahaha!!]
[Poseidon: I knew that every time they praise the Spirit Hall, they'd inevitably drag Bibi Dong out to criticize her.]
[Ma Xiaotao: Su Yan: My name is Su Yan, and I like to speak my mind.]
[Qian Yuhan: Hahaha!! I can't help but laugh more and more as I watch this!]
[Call me Your Majesty: When you're in this world, admit your mistakes and stand up straight when you're about to be punished.]
[Bai Chenxiang: I understand now. The Spirit Hall's free spirit awakening for commoners is essentially digging the graves of the empire and the nobility, isn't it?]
[Su Yan: Bai is very smart!]
[Su Yan: So look at the current world of Douluo Continent II. The Spirit Hall, that towering structure, has been toppled. The empire and nobility have regained absolute control, and ordinary people are locked away in darkness.]
[Su Yan: In this world where strength reigns supreme, ordinary people who lose the chance to become Soul Masters will never be able to break free from the rigid class system.]
[Su Yan: So, ten thousand years have passed in Douluo Continent, ten thousand years of great changes, yet this world remains under a feudal system of aristocratic slavery.]
[Su Yan: Even though the Heaven Dou Empire split, it was still an empire. The nobles of the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire were still nobles. No matter how cruel and inactive they were, or how much the ordinary people suffered, no one had the chance to break down and rebuild. Human civilization came to an end here.]
