Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Xia Kingdom.

"About a month ago, a nightmare descended upon the world. God played a joke on humanity. An unknown God randomly selected some people from every country in the world to participate in the nightmare game."

"Successfully completing the Nightmare Game grants the person's country various scarce resources, even lifespan bonuses; failure brings disaster to the country of the person who fails."

"Fortunately, our Xia Kingdom representative successfully passed the Nightmare Game, but no one knows if our Xia Kingdom will be so lucky to pass the Nightmare Game next time."

"Yes, they are all randomly selected. There is no limit to a person's ability; it all depends on luck."

"The representative from the Sakura Country failed last time. They couldn't clear the Nightmare Game, where a hundred demons parade and countless people died."

"The whole city is haunted by ghosts. It's terrifying to even think about. I really don't want the same thing to happen in Xia Kingdom."

Passersby kept talking about it, and it sounded terrifying, but there wasn't much fear. Some even had a glimmer of hope that they would be chosen one day.

Dong Qing sat by a roadside stall, his expression gloomy. Beside him were the three little ones who were completely unaware that they had done anything wrong, and even hoped that he would praise them.

next second.

Dong Qing flicked Dong Baobao's forehead three times in a row, and Dong Dong'er and Dong Yan could only hold their heads in pain.

This scene is invisible to others; they are all mortals. Gods do not want to be seen, and mortals will never see it.

"Are you all really bored and have nothing better to do? If you have nothing better to do, then follow me. I'll make sure you're all busy."

Dong Qing never expected, he truly never expected, that the so-called national destiny was this thing. This was no longer just fooling the world; in essence, it was fooling the world.

"Dad, don't you like this show?" Dongbao asked, puzzled.

"You guys are driving me crazy..."

Dong Qing was at a loss for words. He realized that he was a failed father. None of his two biological daughters and one adopted daughter knew how to respect life.

Ordinary people's lives are lives too, but in their eyes, ordinary people are just ants, seemingly insignificant ants whose greatest use is to be used for amusement.

"Dad, don't be angry, we were wrong."

Dong Dong'er gently tugged at Dong Qing's sleeve. Thanks to the teachings of the Blue Silver Emperor A Yin, she was always the most sensible one.

Dongqing understood that she still had compassion for mortals, and the program that the three of them had carefully prepared had backfired.

At that moment, Dongyan spoke.

"Actually, this thing is not necessarily a scourge, but also a technological catalyst. The civilization on this planet can use the Nightmare Game to enter the interstellar space age ahead of schedule."

“Dad, if you don’t believe me, you can have the people on this planet hold a vote to see whether they are terrified of the Nightmare Game or hope for the changes it will bring.”

As she said.

The national destiny game they created, also known as the nightmare game, was not intended to exterminate the people on this planet, but rather to use the stimulation of the nightmare game to catalyze the civilization of this planet.

Of course.

It was mostly for fun, to please Dongqing.

But now it seems...

Instead of winning their favor, they each got a flick on the forehead, which really angered Dongqing.

"Would they be that stupid? To actually look forward to a nightmare game?" Dong Qing's tone was very unfriendly.

"Dad, there are various resource rewards from the country and individuals for completing the Nightmare Game. Even the smallest reward can add hundreds of years to your lifespan," Dong Yan said in a low voice.

These words were spoken.

Dong Qing immediately understood why those discussing the nightmare game didn't seem too afraid, and even had a hint of unspoken expectation on their faces.

"Where did those ghosts come from?" Dong Qing asked coldly.

"I got it from the underworld," Dong Baobao said cautiously.

The underworld she spoke of.

This refers to the subordinate planes of the Douluo God Realm, which consist of 108 lower-level planets under the Douluo God Realm. After death, the spirits of the dead must go to the Underworld to be reincarnated.

The Underworld was originally under the control of Dong Qing, but he was lazy and handed it over to Hei An Qian Ren Xue.

I never expected that all this would happen today, that ghosts from the underworld could come to the mortal world at will.

Logically, this is against the rules, but Dong Baobao and others can overstep them.

If Dongqing weren't usually quite strict with management...

They dare to say that their rules are the rules.

no way.

Dong Qing now has three daughters. Even if Dong Qing himself doesn't dote on them, their noble bloodline and status, plus the group of god-king level concubines in the Douluo God Realm, make them valuable assets.

One careless mistake on a planet in the lower dimension.

They really did cause trouble without warning.

"Darkness... Your Aunt Xue just lets you mess around like this? Releasing ghosts from the underworld back into the mortal world?" Dong Qing asked, frowning.

“Dad, these ghosts are all from this world. Most of them died unjustly and are filled with resentment. We have already restrained them. Even if a country's representative loses, they must not harm kind people during the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts,” Dong Dong’er explained.

She didn't lie, nor could she lie.

The underworld possesses the divine artifact, the Scales of Judgment, of the evil god-king, which suppresses all beings, good and evil, and none can escape the judgment of the Scales of Judgment. It is true that heaven is watching what people do.

Even if someone commits an evil deed and escapes justice and trial, they cannot escape the judgment of good and evil on the scales of justice after death.

Unlike the Earth in the Super God Universe, which is a technologically and physically-based universe, a person's good or evil can only be judged by the law, and there is no post-mortem judgment of good or evil.

A completely different world, a completely different universe.

how to say.

Dongqing's miniature universe, the "Pure-Blooded Heavenly Horned Ant's Supreme Treasure Bone," exists within the Underworld, where the scales of judgment exist, making it impossible for evildoers to escape the sins they have committed.

In the vast universe of gods, no matter how many sins they commit or how many people they kill, it is just a number, a cold number. No good or evil can judge those gods.

Even ordinary people, as long as they have the ability to escape judicial judgment, can live a carefree life without worrying about being judged for their good or evil deeds in life after they die.

"You mean, these ghosts from the underworld, during their nightly procession, don't harm people who are inherently kind? But how do you define kindness?"

Dong Qing was initially relieved, but soon felt something was wrong. He wanted to know how Dong Baobao and the other two defined kindness.

You can't be branded a heinous criminal just for sleeping in late or littering. If that were the case, there wouldn't be many good people in the world.

"Of course, it should be based on the standards of the scales of justice."

Dong Baobao puffed out his chest proudly and then began to explain the definition of good and evil.

Her definition of good and evil is the same as the definition of good and evil of the scales of justice themselves.

The "good" aspect includes: kindness, benevolence, dedication, contentment, honesty, trustworthiness, integrity, fairness, diligence, courage, enthusiasm, praise, tolerance, friendliness, peace, compassion, gentleness, humility, and so on.

The "evil" part includes: malice, cruelty, selfishness, greed, hypocrisy, deception, betrayal, treachery, bias, laziness, falsehood, jealousy, narrow-mindedness, hostility, violence, discrimination, irritability, arrogance, and so on.

Again.

A person who is a little lazy and likes to sleep in late is not considered a good person, but he will not be defined as evil either; at most, he will be considered a useless person.

But if you add deception, falsehood, malice, etc., intentional harm, or even cruel murder of others, then that becomes evil.

.........

Halfway through the novel.

"I understand, no need to say anything more. I don't care what you're thinking, just shut this thing down," Dong Qing said impatiently.

"Dad, you're being unreasonable."

Dong Baobao pouted. Even though she had grown up long ago and was a mature woman, she seemed like she hadn't grown up yet.

However, only Dong Qing could see her childish demeanor; she only showed this childish side to Dong Qing.

“Baby, tell me, why is Daddy being unreasonable?” Dongqing asked back.

"Dad only knows to tell me to turn off the nightmare game, but he never asked them if they wanted to," Dong Baobao said indignantly.

"They...they still...don't want to shut down the nightmare game..."

As they talked...

Dong Qing seemed to have thought of something, and his confidence waned.

Tempted by the promise of a longer lifespan.

Let alone ordinary people, even a high-ranking monarch may not be able to maintain his true self.

Moreover, the lifespan reward they gave was the lowest level of reward among all the completion rewards.

A month has passed.

On Planet Blue, a technologically advanced civilization, a vote was held to decide whether to shut down the Nightmare Game. Seventy percent of the voters chose no, which made Dong Qing laugh in exasperation.

They don't know what's good for them.

Nonsense.

However, the timing was just right.

It had been almost two months since he returned to the microcosm from the Super God Universe [Pure Blood Heavenly Horned Ant's Supreme Treasure Bone in the Chest]. He returned to the Super God Universe without looking back.

"They are all fools who willingly allow themselves to be fooled."

Chapter 807, He Xi, what do you think?

The complexity of the human heart and the baseness of human nature.

It is far beyond what Dongqing can comprehend.

He has never suffered any hardship or encountered any calamities; everything has gone so smoothly for him. How could he possibly understand the struggles of ordinary people for that one percent chance?

Disregarding life and death, they forged ahead bravely.

He lamented that he had spoiled Dong Baobao, Dong Dong'er, and even his adopted daughter Dong Yan. Wasn't he himself a product of the doting love of the female ant Yuniang?

He had goodness in his heart, which is why he had compassion for the world.

Dong Baobao and her ilk were born high and mighty. With their noble bloodlines, they viewed ordinary people as nothing more than ants. It would be truly difficult for them to feel sympathy for ants.

However, for the sake of the kindness in their biological father Dongqing's heart, they were willing to extend a bit of kindness to the ants beneath their feet.
