Douluo Dalu: The Nine Divine Trials, and How Tang San and Shrek Got Doomed

[Multiple Heroines] [Torturing the Weak and the Strong] [Mastermind Behind the Scenes] [A Douluo Survival Game] Ye Chen transmigrates into Douluo, awakens the Lord of the Gods Trial System, begins the Nine Divine Trials, and gains control of all the rules, winning over all the goddesses. Everyone taking part in the trials has their soul skills and cheats sealed. All are reduced to level ten in soul power. In these trials, success or failure depends solely on how humanity holds up in desperate circumstances. The five initial factions are the Shrek and Upper Three Sects alliance, the Higher Soul Master Academy Alliance, Spirit Hall, Sea God Island, and the independent faction formed by Ye Chen and the soul beasts. At the start of the trials, the three alliances join forces against Spirit Hall, presenting a united front against evil. But as trials of life and death descend, from beast hordes besieging cities and severed supply lines to mist-shrouded wastelands, raging floods, spreading plagues, struggles over resources, perilous expeditions, and choices that test one's principles, everyone's disguises are torn away. Tang San's double standards are laid bare. He betrays others' trust and coldly abandons the weak and his teammates. Yu Xiaogang is all talk about pros and cons, believes in the survival of the fittest, and stops at nothing. Tang Hao acts like a tyrant and cares only about his own feelings. The Shrek members are cowards who look out only for themselves. The entire trial is broadcast live across the continent, and people see Tang San and the others for who they really are. By contrast, Ye Chen never puts on an act. He follows the rules, saves people in desperate situations, and acts with integrity, redeeming everyone. Gu Yuena, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, Bo Saixi, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and the other goddesses see the truth and all fall for Ye Chen. When the Nine Divine Trials end, Tang San and the others pass their trials only to be permanently stripped of the right to become gods and cast into the eighteenth level of hell. The goddesses successfully inherit their divine positions, follow Ye Chen, Lord of the Gods, and live happily ever after.
