Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 319 The victor is king, the loser is villain? No! The Dragon God is petty!

Five thousand years into the Golden Calendar, the number of Soul Beasts dwindled once again. In order to obtain enough Soul Rings for all the residents of the empire to advance, the Golden Civilization began to study Soul Beasts, started to replicate their bloodlines, and established a Soul Beast Protection Organization to severely crack down on those who poached Soul Beasts.

"Alright, soul beasts have become protected animals. Is this reincarnation?" Tang San chuckled and continued reading—

In the sixth thousand years of the Golden Calendar, the ecology of the various soul beast habitats recovered. The Golden Empire searched the sea and land and found nearly a thousand powerful 100,000-year-old soul beasts. They forcibly transformed them into human form in order to study their self-condensing soul rings, so that humans could get rid of the defect of needing soul beast soul rings to advance.

Eight thousand years into the Golden Era, humanity made a major breakthrough in condensing soul rings, no longer needing to be constrained by the soul rings of soul beasts. Thus, the Golden Empire entered a new era, and the Golden Civilization was truly born!

Nine thousand years into the Golden Calendar, the number of human titled Douluo has grown exponentially, with various titles emerging one after another. Therefore, the Empire began to unify the realm division, using Soul Rings as the standard, dividing them into one-ring Soul Masters to nine-ring Soul Masters, collectively known as: Soul Masters.

In the ten thousandth year of the Golden Calendar, civilization continued to grow and was preparing to explore the starry sky. The representative of the Soul Beast race, the Dragon God, returned in an even more powerful form, and with control of the Godhead of Creation and Destruction, he once again challenged the Golden Civilization with overwhelming power!

This time—

The Golden Civilization lost!

Tang San discovered that the following text was handwritten, not printed, making it somewhat difficult to decipher.

That is true power beyond the gods, which we cannot overcome... Pressure can drive rapid progress, but that formidable force is beyond human capability; we need even greater power!

The Golden Civilization has fallen! All its achievements have been destroyed, and the world has once again become a paradise for soul beasts...

But perhaps out of that ridiculous pride, after his victory, the Dragon God used some special means to erase the memories of everyone present, including his own memories of being banished to the void by the Golden Civilization... I feel my memories fading; no, I must record them!

However, the most fortunate thing is that we have control of the Golden Tree. Even the Dragon God dares not defy the will of the entire planet and cannot destroy the Golden Tree and everything around it, otherwise he will suffer the backlash of the entire Douluo Star's fortune. But most of the people here have dispersed. Can the Golden Civilization still exist? I hope that future generations will remember what happened in ancient times. If they have the ability, they should prove to the entire universe that humans are the greatest beings, and that the Dragon Clan, a race with intelligence but only relying on brute force, will eventually become a thing of the past!

[It's a pity we didn't have enough time to develop; otherwise, we would surely be able to create god-level powerhouses in large numbers!]

[By the way... who am I again?]

Turning to the last page, Tang San only saw this one question, and a trace of sadness inexplicably arose in his heart. He sighed and said, "The Dragon God initially only possessed the seven elements of water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space. His later creation and destruction were obtained by chance. It turns out that he only had the opportunity to come into contact with them after being exiled from Douluo Star by the Golden Civilization."

"Moreover, the Dragon God also erased his own shameful memories of defeat. It is estimated that he not only erased the memories of humans, but also those of the soul beasts. He may even have deceived himself."

"Tsk tsk, so petty, not leaving yourself even a trace of your past."

"Furthermore, if we take the Douluo series setting as a reference, the rule that soul beasts cannot become gods seems to have been set by the Dragon God. It says that unless the Dragon God reappears, no other soul beast can become a god... This rule was only broken when the protagonist of Douluo IV achieved the position of Dragon God, and only then could soul beasts become gods through cultivation."

At this moment, Gu Yuena walked over with a comic book titled "Tom, Jerry, and Dog," and asked, "This comic is quite interesting. It tells the love story between a female mouse, a male cat, and a female dog disguised as a man."

Tang San (￣△￣；): "What the hell?"

She snatched the romance comic book, flipped through it briefly, and then put it into her storage wristband, saying, "This isn't something a little girl with such an unhealthy worldview should be reading. I'll keep it safe for you."

Gu Yuena: →_→

Tang San ignored her little expression and handed her the "Overview of the Development History of the Golden Civilization," saying, "Take a look at this; perhaps you might know about the Dragon God..."

Before Tang San could finish speaking, Gu Yuena, upon hearing the words "Dragon God," immediately snatched it away and began to read it. At first, it was fine, but later, when she saw that the Dragon God had erased her memories of losing to the Golden Civilization, she couldn't help but blush.

"It seems you have some connection with the Dragon God," Tang San asked knowingly.

"It's okay, it's not a problem at all." Gu Yuena now felt that her "past life," or rather her "father," was really dishonest.

It's just a failure, there's no need to take it so seriously, right?

Erasing human memories is one thing, but erasing the memories of the soul beast race as well, and even the memories of her as a "daughter" or "reincarnation" are completely lost.

How shameless!

Suddenly I feel like the Dragon God deserved to be cut in two; his mentality was just too terrible...

"Your performance isn't without merit." Tang San smiled, walked back to the catalog shelf, and searched through the catalogs related to martial soul research. He found no information related to martial soul cultivation, not even research materials on soul tools. He only found a note in one of the catalogs that read:

After the destruction of the Golden Civilization, the Dragon God found this place and ordered those who remained to take out all the data on martial spirit cultivation and soul tool research and destroy them in a unified manner...

"Burning books?"

Tang San frowned, his goodwill towards the Dragon God completely gone.

Previously, it could be said that history is written by the victors.

Now, this guy has severed most of the research data left behind by the Golden Civilization. The remaining data includes agriculture, industry, economy, education, medicine, military, culture, etc., but there is no data related to martial spirit cultivation or scientific research.

This completely eliminated any shortcuts for him, a latecomer, to achieve rapid development.

"Hoo~ It's my fortune to have it, and my fate to lose it. Since the Golden Civilization failed, then imitating it will only bring us to the level of the Golden Civilization at most. The Douluo Continent now needs to create a path forward that is in line with this era." Tang San closed the book, walked through the agricultural, medical, economic, educational and military areas, and put all the basic parts into his storage wristband.

Gu Yuena also helped out. After seeing the note, she felt a strange sense of guilt and felt she needed to do something to make amends.

It can only be said that it has been too influenced by humanity...
