Chapter 453: The Crossroads of Fate
At this moment, everyone present remained silent, their gazes fixed on Huo Yu´er, waiting for her decision.
Huo Yu´er closed her eyes, her mind replaying the tragic memories of her childhood, her expression changing continuously.
Yet no one interrupted her struggle, for they knew this was a choice that only the young girl before them could make.
After a while, Huo Yu´er's expression grew calm, and she slowly opened her eyes, which now carried a hint of coldness.
"Master, you're right. If my mother is revived, she would certainly want me to let go of my hatred and reconcile with the White Tiger Duke's household."
As she spoke, Huo Yu´er clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes visibly burned with hatred.
"But now I know, such a future is one I absolutely do not want to see. I don't want to be bound by the White Tiger Duke's household for my entire life, just like my mother."
Gradually, the negative emotions in her eyes began to fade away.
"Master, I leave my mother's soul in your care." Huo Yu´er said respectfully, bowing to Ye Wen.
Seeing this, Ye Wen smiled with relief. The tamed, forgiving version of Huo Wuhao would never appear before him again. The young Huo Yu´er would definitely become the future Empress of the entire Douluo Continent.
Douluo Divine Realm
In the Sea God Hall, Tang San was frowning, secretly observing Douluo Continent.
He had noticed a change in the continent's fortune ever since Huo Yu´er was born.
Tang San was no longer the naive youth he once was. He had become a true powerhouse, a king in his own right, and he knew that with this kind of fortune, Douluo Continent was about to give birth to a new god one who might even be stronger than him.
Ascension to godhood didn't mean eternal peace. On the contrary, gods were still fundamentally mortal beings, retaining human emotions and desires. They were not the flawless, pure beings that ordinary people imagined.
Having solidified his position in the Douluo Divine Realm, Tang San naturally did not want anyone to disrupt the delicate balance he had worked so hard to maintain.
When he found out that the chosen one was a young girl, Tang San's mind began to turn, considering how to manipulate the situation to his advantage.
Love was both the most beautiful and the most brutal thing in the world, and Tang San, who had experienced it deeply in his youth, knew this well. Since his wife Xiao Wu had been able to bind her heart completely to him, why couldn't he use the same tactics with this new "chosen one"?
After all, he also had a son.
Thus began Tang San's plan.
The plot seemed perfect a young, troubled girl falling for the charm of a suave, overbearing CEO, receiving unprecedented tenderness and protection, and eventually falling in love.
Perfect~
But now Tang San was troubled. This "chosen one" wasn't following the script he had envisioned. Despite being only a second ring Soul Master, this girl was even stronger than his own son, who had been carefully trained as a third ring Soul Master.
How could he proceed with his plans now?
Upon careful observation, Tang San discovered that the cause of this was a 99th level Peerless Douluo named Ye Wen. While a title Douluo like Ye Wen could indeed dominate the continent, Tang San knew that eliminating him would be effortless for him.
However, the Destruction God King had been keeping a close eye on Tang San recently, and he knew he wouldn't be able to use any underhanded methods without being caught.
Though Tang San had considered sending his subordinates to take action, their combined strength had reached the level of a hundred, and any moves would easily draw attention.
In the end, Tang San reluctantly gave up on those ideas.
He knew, though, that the girl must have a powerful mentor. After all, he himself had a Super Douluo father, so it was only natural that this "chosen one" would have such a teacher.
Tang San's eyes darkened, and after a long while, he sighed softly.
"Forget it, the little girl has a good relationship with Mu Lin. I'll just leave things as they are for now."
His focus then shifted to the Tang Sect, a disgusted expression spreading across his face.
"What a bunch of useless fools. I left behind such a vast legacy, and now they've managed to ruin it to the point of nothing. Meanwhile, Flanders' Shrek Academy is thriving."
Though the Tang Sect no longer provided Tang San with any fortune or support, it was his obsession. As a former Tang Sect disciple, he wanted to ensure its legacy continued in this new world, hoping it would prove he was still the Sect's hope.
However, even Tang San had to admit that the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect from a millennium ago were no longer enough to survive in Douluo Continent today.
As for the other Tang Sect secrets...
Douluo Continent had no restraints like those of the past. Over time, the other forces had learned most of the Tang Sect's techniques.
Tang San, however, was still somewhat pleased with himself. He had not passed on the true teachings to them, or else the Tang Sect would have truly faded into obscurity.
But
"The knowledge of Soul Guidance Devices must be learned by Mu Lin and brought back to enhance the Tang Sect's hidden weapons. Otherwise, the name of the Tang Sect's weapons will be lost to history."
Tang San began to convince himself, reminding himself that this wasn't "stealing knowledge" this was "learning from others." After all, the knowledge in the Sun Moon Empire wasn't strictly forbidden, so as long as the people agreed, what was the harm in learning?
Tang San had also considered secretly guiding Huo Yu´er to the Sun Moon Empire to learn this knowledge and then join the Tang Sect to help improve the weapons. After all, she was the "chosen one," with great fortune. Surely, she would learn more quickly than his own son, and it would help the Tang Sect thrive once again.
But now, their relationship wasn't strong enough for that, and he had no choice but to rely on his son.
Still, something felt off about Huo Yu´er. A cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.
"Let's hope this 'chosen one' doesn't get too full of herself. Otherwise, if I could kill the newly ascended Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, I can certainly deal with this little girl too."
At that moment, a coquettish voice sounded from outside the temple.
"Third Brother~"
!!!
Tang San quickly shut down the screen showing Douluo Continent and went to appease his little wife. After all, he had made some modifications to his son Mu Lin's situation, and he couldn't let Xiao Wu know about it.
"Well, once Mu Lin ascends to godhood and returns, everything will be fine. With the time difference between Douluo Divine Realm and Douluo Continent, it won't be long before my precious son is back, and I won't have to worry anymore."
