“I’ve said from the very beginning—my conquest of Shrek was never about waving the banner of righteousness or decorating myself in noble ideals. It was simply revenge—avenging the death of my mother at the hands of Sea God Pavilion Master Xuanzi, and the humiliation she suffered from Shrek Academy’s Dean Yan Shaozhe.

Yes, I may have made some modest contributions to the people of the continent in the process, but those were incidental. Please, don’t misunderstand. Let’s be objective and realistic. Don’t impose excessive moral expectations on me personally—it’s really not helpful.”

—His Majesty Xu Tianxi, the Eternal Emperor of the unified continent under the Sun Moon Empire, in an exclusive interview with Miss Meng Hongchen, chief correspondent of the Douluo Daily, during the Heaven-Sacrifice Ceremony at Shrek.

The next day...

“I’ve said from the very beginning—my conquest of Shrek was indeed to raise the banner of justice, to avenge my mother’s death at the hands of Sea God Pavilion Master Xuanzi and the humiliation from Shrek Dean Yan Shaozhe. I’ve made great contributions to the people of the continent. I urge the public to be objective, recognize reality, and hold me to high moral standards—this is a very good thing.”
