"This is the God Realm? It feels so fantastical!"
The Heavenly Gate of the God Realm, the place where the God Realm connects to the lower realms. Those who transcend from the lower realms to become gods all take this first step upon arriving in the realm of gods, through this white jade gate standing amidst the clouds.
At this moment, beneath the white jade gate, one man and two women stepped through the Heavenly Gate and entered the domain of the gods that countless beings dream of. Among the three, the petite woman on the left let out a voice full of curiosity and amazement, immediately receiving agreement from the man beside her.
"Indeed! What we're stepping on seems to be clouds. Does the God Realm have no land?" The man's voice carried a hint of doubt, but he was equally curious.
"No, it doesn't." Compared to her two companions, the tall woman on the right appeared much calmer, as if she had been to the God Realm before. Well, that wasn't entirely wrong—she was indeed born in the God Realm. Thus, she explained to her two companions, "The God Realm is a plane independent of Douluo Star. Since it has no planet as its foundation, naturally, there is no ground. However, some areas do have land, though it's rare."
"I see!" The man nodded, a look of realisation on his face.
"Yuhao!" At that moment, a man flew in from the depths of the God Realm. The man was handsome, with radiant golden hair and an air of calm elegance. His face lit up with joy as he called out to the trio.
"Master!" The man among the three smiled upon seeing the newcomer. He was none other than the Yuhao the golden-haired man had called out to.
Without a doubt, the one man and two women were Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong'er, who had ascended to the God Realm from the Douluo Continent. The golden-haired man Huo Yuhao called Master was none other than the former God of Emotions, Rong Nianbing.
"You've really done something monumental!" Rong Nianbing landed in front of Huo Yuhao, his emotions a mix of melancholy and gratification as he spoke.
"Hehe!" Huo Yuhao naturally understood what Rong Nianbing was referring to. He smiled but said nothing.
"Come, I'll take you to meet the God Kings of the God Realm Committee." Rong Nianbing didn't press further. His gaze swept over Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er, his emotions complex. He knew that, for the foreseeable future, the God Realm would not be peaceful. But what did that have to do with him? He no longer held a divine position. Once he completed the final handover with Huo Yuhao, he could leave this troublesome God Realm and roam the stars!
"God Kings? My disciple should be a God King too, right?" Rong Nianbing murmured, his tone odd.
Soon, under Rong Nianbing's guidance, Huo Yuhao and the others arrived at the centre of the God Realm, within an incomparably majestic hall. At this moment, nearly all the gods of the God Realm had gathered in the hall, with only a few likely still on their way.
Above the hall stood four divine beings whose auras and presence clearly surpassed the other gods. They stood side by side, from left to right: a man in purple robes, a woman in green robes, a woman in pink robes, and a man in black robes. Upon seeing Huo Yuhao and the others, their auras visibly fluctuated.
Huo Yuhao looked at the four, combining what Zhu Ziyang had told him in the lower realm with what Rong Nianbing had said on the way. He immediately understood their identities. Without hesitation, he stepped forward with respect for his seniors and said, "This junior, Huo Yuhao, the new God of Rakshasa, pays respects to the four seniors!"
"No need for formalities." The God of Destruction raised a hand and spoke, his voice cold but his words calm. "You restored the Rakshasa God position. As members of the God Realm Committee, we ought to thank you. Moreover, the Rakshasa God is a God King position, so there's no need for such humility. We shall treat each other as equals!"
"This…" Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Thank you, four seniors."
"Haha, come on, no need to be so serious," said the God of Evil, Ji Dong, clad in black robes, with a laugh. "Come, Yuhao, let me introduce you to everyone in the God Realm."
"Thank you, Senior Evil." Huo Yuhao smiled.
"Hey~ Just call me Ji Dong, or if I'm being bold, call me Big Brother Ji." Ji Dong waved a hand. He clearly placed Huo Yuhao on equal footing with himself. This wasn't surprising—both were God Kings, both successors. Aside from the difference in timing, who was nobler than whom?
"Big Brother Ji!" Huo Yuhao was quick to catch on, calling out directly. He kept Zhu Ziyang's advice in mind: in the God Realm, his only opponent was Tang San. He needed to make as many friends as possible so that, if conflict arose with Tang San, he wouldn't be isolated.
However, from the current situation, Tang San was not present. Clearly, this Sea God was planning to give him a surprise.
Huo Yuhao didn't mind. With his current strength, even if he couldn't defeat Tang San, Tang San couldn't kill him either. He could endure, but Tang San seemed to have no way out.
"Look! These seven are the Elemental Gods. This is the Fire Elemental God, also known as the Fire God, though his position has been passed down, and he'll be leaving soon.
This is the Water Elemental God, the Water God. She and the Fire God are husband and wife. She's also found a successor and will leave with the Fire God soon.
This is the Metal Elemental God… This is the Earth Elemental God… This is the Wood Elemental God… This is the Darkness Elemental God… This is the Light Elemental God. She and the Darkness God are husband and wife and have found a successor. They'll leave the God Realm with the Darkness God soon.
The Wind Elemental God, Thunder Elemental God, and Ice Elemental God positions are vacant and have not yet been filled."
Huo Yuhao followed Ji Dong's introductions and met the seven Elemental Gods. All seven smiled kindly at him. Though he was a newcomer, he was a God King! In the God Realm, the gap between divine ranks was greater than that between humans and pigs. They had to smile!
Huo Yuhao was most familiar with the Fire God, as the new Fire God was his senior sister, Ma Xiaotao. As for the other Elemental Gods, he wasn't familiar with them. Ji Dong said the Water God and Light God had found successors, but Huo Yuhao hadn't sensed their divine power on the Douluo Continent, so their successors were likely not from Douluo Star.
"These seven are the Seven Original Sin Gods. This is the God of Greed… This is the God of Sloth… This is the God of Pride… This is the God of Envy… This is the God of Gluttony… This is the God of Lust… This is the God of Wrath."
Ji Dong's tone grew strange when introducing the Seven Original Sin Gods, as if tinged with resentment. As the god who governed emotions, Huo Yuhao immediately caught the shift in Ji Dong's emotions. But why?
Huo Yuhao recalled what Zhu Ziyang had told him: the Seven Original Sins were secondary gods subordinate to the God of Evil. That is, the Seven Original Sin Gods should be subordinates of the God of Evil. But from what he observed, these Seven Original Sin Gods were clearly distancing themselves from Ji Dong, the God of Evil. Why? Could it be because Ji Dong was a second-generation god while they were first-generation? That was possible.
Ji Dong's introductions continued, and Huo Yuhao finally realised that, aside from the four God Kings, all the gods in the hall seemed to be first-class gods. The seven Elemental Gods, the seven Original Sin Gods, the God of Destruction, the God of Time, the God of Space, and the absent Sea God—just as Rong Nianbing had said, the eighteen main gods.
But what about the Seven Virtue Gods subordinate to the God of Kindness? Weren't they also first-class gods? Why were none of them present? Were they all absent? Since the God of Kindness had the Seven Virtue Gods as subordinates, the God of Evil had the Seven Original Sins, and the God of Asura had various killing gods, did he, as the God of Rakshasa, have subordinate gods too? The Seven Emotion Gods? Huo Yuhao thought of his seven spirit souls, each bearing an emotion and all at the divine level. If they could reach the strength of first-class gods, wouldn't they fit the role of the Seven Emotion Gods?
In an instant, Huo Yuhao thought of many things and understood what Zhu Ziyang meant when he told him to pay more attention to his spirit souls before leaving.
As Ji Dong finished introducing the seventeen main gods, all seventeen acknowledged Huo Yuhao's God King status. Well, how could they not? This was one of the original eight kings of the God Realm! Though not the first generation, he was a successor!
At the invitation of the God of Destruction and Ji Dong, Huo Yuhao stepped onto the God Realm's central hub. Though the God of Asura was absent, his God King status was enough to make him a member of the God Realm Committee.
"Xiao Qi, are you alright?" The Goddess of Life asked with surprise and concern, looking at Wang Dong'er.
Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er followed behind Huo Yuhao. Though both had broken through to the divine level, they held no divine positions, making them particularly conspicuous in the hall. Xiao Xiao was fine, as none of the gods knew her, but Wang Dong'er was different. Though she had grown up, her appearance was still recognisable, and the divine aura she couldn't erase made her identity obvious.
"Aunt Green, I'm fine." Wang Dong'er smiled bitterly and said, "Also, please call me Dong'er from now on. I can't bear the name Xiao Qi."
"Poor child!" The Goddess of Life's face showed a trace of heartache. She didn't know what the Sea God had done to Wang Dong'er, but from her withered soul, it was clear this child had suffered greatly in the lower realm. Otherwise, she wouldn't say such heartbreaking words. She couldn't help but step forward, hug Wang Dong'er, and softly comfort her, "It's okay. Dong'er is a nice name too. At least it's free, isn't it?"
Due to their divine positions, the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction had always been unable to bear children, which made her particularly fond of kids. As the only child born in the God Realm in nearly a century, Wang Dong'er was naturally cherished by her. However, with the return of the Death God's position to the God Realm, the possibility of her and Xiao Zi bearing children had increased. Perhaps in the near future, she might truly have her own child.
"Dong'er, you're back. Does your mother know?" The God of Kindness, Lie Yan, also approached Wang Dong'er, concerned.
"I don't know." Wang Dong'er shook her head blankly, a flash of hatred in her eyes as she said, "Maybe that person will tell her."
Because of Tang San, Wang Dong'er had come to hate her mother, Xiao Wu, as well. Though she knew Xiao Wu likely had no idea of the suffering she endured, she couldn't control her heart. Whether she and her mother could return to how things were, she didn't know. But for Tang San, her father, she had long lost the feelings she once had.
"This…" The Goddess of Life and Lie Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. They couldn't fathom what kind of experience could make a child harbour such hatred for her parents! What exactly had the Sea God done?
"This Tang San, why hasn't he shown up yet!" Hearing the two goddesses' words, a flash of anger crossed the God of Destruction's eyes. The return of the Rakshasa God was a major event, and as the God of Asura, Tang San should have been the first to arrive. Yet he was late. Was Tang San not taking the God Realm Committee seriously?
Speak of the devil, and he appears.
A group of people walked in from outside the hall—seven in total, no more, no less. Leading them was a man with blue hair and red robes, the Sea God and God of Asura, Tang San. The six people following him were all familiar to Huo Yuhao. Their appearances were no different from the statues of the original Shrek Seven Devils at Shrek Academy.
"I'm late." Tang San's expression was calm, showing no embarrassment for his tardiness. His gaze naturally fell on Huo Yuhao, filled with appreciation and praise. If Huo Yuhao didn't know Tang San's actions, he might have truly thought he was a senior eager to nurture the younger generation.
"Asura, being late is one thing, but bringing so many irrelevant people—does that not violate the rules?" the God of Destruction questioned.
"Hahaha, there's a reason for this. I hope everyone will forgive me." Tang San smiled apologetically and explained, "It's mainly because the new God of Rakshasa is from the Douluo Continent, our junior. So I specially brought my brothers to take a look."
"Xiao Qi!" As Tang San's words fell, the beautiful woman with a black scorpion braid beside him quickly stepped forward, her eyes full of joy as she called out to Wang Dong'er. From her behaviour, she was clearly Wang Dong'er's mother, the Soft-Boned Douluo of the original Shrek Seven Devils, Xiao Wu.
"Madam, my name is Wang Dong'er, not Xiao Qi!" Seeing Xiao Wu's joyful expression, the last bit of filial affection Wang Dong'er had completely vanished. She had suffered so much in the lower realm, yet this woman could still smile so happily. What a foolish woman. Her face was expressionless, her tone icy as she spoke.
"W-What?" Xiao Wu's steps toward Wang Dong'er halted abruptly, her expression stunned and tinged with unease. "Xiao Qi, what are you saying? Stop joking with Mommy. Come here, let Mommy take a good look at my precious daughter."
Wang Dong'er remained unmoved, her gaze indifferent as she looked at Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu finally panicked, realising that her precious daughter's eyes were so cold, as if looking at a stranger. Where was the former adoration and affection?
"Xiao Qi, what's wrong? I'm your mommy!" Xiao Wu called out helplessly to Wang Dong'er, her tearful expression irritating Wang Dong'er to no end.
At this point, the gods in the hall had long retreated to the edges, minimising their presence to better enjoy the drama. They had realised that the Sea God's daughter seemed to have an irreconcilable conflict with the Sea God couple. What was the conflict? The desire to gossip burned fiercely.
"Alright, Wutong, Daddy knows you're angry with me, but you can't throw a tantrum with your mother. Look how anxious she is! Daddy apologises. Come here, let your mother take a good look at you." Tang San stepped forward, put an arm around Xiao Wu, and pulled her into his embrace. Then, with a reproachful look, he softly scolded Wang Dong'er, acting like a good father.
"Apologise?" Wang Dong'er completely lost it. Only now did she realise that the suffering she endured was, to Tang San, trivial—something that could be forgiven with a simple apology. She let out a somewhat manic laugh. "Hahaha, apologise? Such light words, hahaha!"
Wang Dong'er's laughter echoed piercingly in the hall. Her manic, almost demonic behaviour not only made Xiao Wu forget her panic but also filled the other gods with a desire to pry. They were desperate to know what this child had gone through to become so unhinged!
Huo Yuhao stepped forward and held Wang Dong'er's hand. Feeling his touch, Wang Dong'er stopped laughing, her face turning cold, her eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Tang San.
Wang Dong'er's gaze deeply wounded Xiao Wu and left the other five Devils shocked and suspicious. Ning Rongrong, the only one who knew some of the truth, was filled with guilt and self-blame. As for Tang San, a trace of irritation flashed in his eyes—the irritation of being defied.
"Wutong, Daddy knows I've done some things excessively, but it was all for your own good!" Tang San said righteously, his face full of pained sorrow. "Why can't you understand Daddy's good intentions?!"
"For my own good…" Wang Dong'er, whose emotions had somewhat calmed, was about to flare up again. Huo Yuhao quickly hugged her and handed her to Xiao Xiao behind him, saying, "Don't worry, I've got this!"
Huo Yuhao stepped forward, facing Tang San directly, his face expressionless as he said, "Tang San, it's time to settle some things."
Hearing Huo Yuhao address him by name, Tang San's brows furrowed, his irritation growing. The feeling of things slipping out of his control was truly unbearable for a control-type soul master like him.
"Insolent! How dare you speak to your father-in-law like that? Disrespectful brat!" Behind Tang San, a tall man with golden hair and heterochromatic eyes shouted in rebuke. His face showed some anger but more smugness. His identity was easy to guess: Dai Mubai, the leader of the original Shrek Seven Devils, ancestor of the Star Luo Empire's Dai family, inheritor of the second-class War God position.
Huo Yuhao merely glanced at him lightly. Dai Mubai, who wanted to continue, suddenly felt like a duck with its neck wrung, unable to make a sound. Then he heard Huo Yuhao say softly, "Though I hate to admit it, we do share the same blood. So I'll overlook your transgression this once!"
Dai Mubai recovered, immediately kneeling on the ground, gasping heavily, looking as if he had narrowly escaped death. Beside him, a woman with a striking figure quickly crouched to comfort him, her eyes filled with fear and confusion. But now, they had no interest in interfering further. The pressure of a God King was too terrifying.
"Insolent!" Tang San roared in fury. "Dai Yuhao, Mubai is your ancestor. How dare you treat him like this? Truly unfilial!"
"Heh!" Huo Yuhao let out a cold laugh, raised three fingers, and said coldly, "First, my surname is Huo, not Dai! Second, the White Tiger Duke's Dai family descends from Dai Weiss, not Dai Mubai! Third, don't change the subject. Some things are better settled now!"
"Good, good, good!" A vicious glint flashed in Tang San's eyes as he said gravely, "Today, I'll teach you, on behalf of Mubai, a lesson for forgetting your roots, you unfilial son!"
As Tang San's words fell, a set of blue-gold armour covered his body, and a trident appeared in his hand, pointed diagonally at Huo Yuhao in the posture of an elder disciplining a junior. "Kid, let me teach you, on behalf of your parents, what it means to respect your elders!"
"Hmph!" Huo Yuhao snorted coldly and said, "No need to sound so righteous! You know what you've done. No need to pin so many crimes on me! You're not worthy!"
As his words fell, a set of colourful armour appeared on Huo Yuhao's body, and a long sword formed from seven-colored clouds appeared in his hand, radiating indistinguishable emotions, its tip pointed straight at Tang San.
The gods in the hall were thrilled. They hadn't expected the God of Rakshasa to be so bold, clashing swords with the Sea God on his first day in the God Realm. Exciting, too exciting!
"No fighting in the God Realm Hall! Both of you, take it outside!" the God of Destruction said at this moment. He had no intention of stopping the fight between Huo Yuhao and Tang San, only to maintain the stability of the God Realm's central hub. A battle between two God Kings, especially in the God Realm Hall, would inevitably affect the hub. That was absolutely not allowed.
"Fight outside!" Huo Yuhao said, then flew out of the God Realm Hall first. Tang San naturally had no intention of backing down and followed.
Seeing this, the gods all flew out, afraid of missing the spectacle. Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao were taken along by the Goddess of Life and the God of Kindness.
In a space in the God Realm, Huo Yuhao and Tang San stood facing each other. Huo Yuhao's expression was grave. This was his first battle after becoming a god, and his opponent was an experienced God King who had been divine for ten thousand years. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.
Tang San's expression was relaxed, exuding the ease of an adult dealing with a child. In his view, defeating Huo Yuhao was a sure thing. He didn't know how Huo Yuhao had turned the God of Emotions into a God King, but it didn't matter. Once he beat him into submission, he'd find out.
The battle between the two was on the verge of erupting. By the time all the gods had arrived, the fight was already intense, and it was clear to the naked eye that Tang San in his Sea God form was being suppressed by Huo Yuhao. Tang San had long lost his initial ease; each move filled with gravity and pressure.
Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, was getting into his stride in the battle against the Sea God, growing more proficient with his divine power. Relying on his own abilities and the suppression of his divine position, he gradually cornered Tang San.
"Damn it!" Tang San was struck in the chest by Huo Yuhao, retreating dozens of steps, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He stared gravely at Huo Yuhao, admitting to himself that he had underestimated his opponent. "Very good, you're really something. It seems I need to get serious! Xiao Wu!"
"Third Brother!" Hearing Tang San's call, Xiao Wu, though reluctant, leapt toward him.
This move made Huo Yuhao wary. He knew Tang San was preparing to switch to his Asura God form. However, he had no intention of interrupting, as it was unnecessary. As the God of Rakshasa, he was well aware that the moment the Rakshasa God position was restored, Tang San could no longer hold two divine positions simultaneously.
If Tang San didn't use the Asura God position, all would be fine. But if he did, with the Rakshasa God's return completing the Asura God position, it would not tolerate sharing its inheritor with a first-class god. How could a God King-level divine position allow coexistence with a first-class god?
Huo Yuhao was secretly looking forward to the expression on Tang San's face when he realised he couldn't use the Asura God position.
Tang San didn't know Huo Yuhao's thoughts. Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't stop Xiao Wu from leaping toward him, he felt a bit smug, thinking Huo Yuhao was too young and planning to go easy on him later. However, the next moment, he couldn't smile anymore. He successfully merged with Xiao Wu, and the Asura God's aura began to replace the Sea God's. Just as he was about to draw the Asura God Sword, he felt an unprecedented rejection.
He was stunned. He couldn't draw the Asura God Sword. The Asura God position was rejecting him. Why? This shouldn't be!
Tang San refused to believe it and tried to forcibly draw the Asura God Sword, but the rejection only grew stronger. The blood-red demonic sword, filled with killing intent, even began to erode the trident symbolising the Sea God's position, making him hesitant to act rashly.
Thus, in the eyes of the gods outside, though Tang San had merged with Xiao Wu, he failed to smoothly transition from Sea God to Asura God as before. Instead, he became a bizarre half-red, half-blue figure, making it clear to all that the two divine powers within him were clashing!
"Heh!" The corner of the God of Destruction's mouth curled into a slight smile. He was looking forward to what choice Tang San would ultimately make.
After the Asura God power and Sea God power confronted each other for a moment, Tang San's face grew extremely grim. He realised the problem and was incredibly torn. He looked up at the eager Huo Yuhao and thought of Zhu Ziyang, who would soon ascend to the God Realm. He knew he had no other choice!
"Ding!" A crisp breaking sound echoed throughout the God Realm. A blue stream of light flew out from Tang San's body, and a slender figure was ejected from him, caught in time by Zhu Zhuqing.
But the gods' attention was drawn to the blue stream of light, which contained a miniature trident—the symbol of the Sea God position. Shockingly, Sea God Tang San had chosen to cripple his own Sea God position. This was truly astonishing.
The miniature trident symbolising the Sea God position flew toward the Heavenly Gate, toward its place of origin. But that no longer concerned the gods, because at this moment, the former Sea God Tang San had completely become Asura God Tang San. With his divine position unified, his presence visibly increased, but his aura also visibly weakened. The backlash from crippling his divine position wasn't something that could be recovered from quickly. However, his troubles were far from over.
Looking at Tang San in his Asura God form, Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged, his movements unrelenting as he charged at Tang San. Tang San, in his Asura God form, was finally no longer as powerless against Huo Yuhao as he had been in his Sea God form, giving him a slight consolation despite his inner loss. But it wasn't enough. He no longer had the thought of teaching Huo Yuhao a lesson. Now, he had only one idea: kill Huo Yuhao. Only then could he make up for his losses!
Now was the true battle of God Kings. The aftershocks of their divine power caused the spiritual energy in the vast space to fluctuate—boiling, sinking, in all forms. Even more, the spiritual energy around the two God Kings completely dissipated, leaving only endless divine power filling the vast domain.
The battle between the two gods lasted three days and three nights. In the end, because Tang San had crippled his Sea God position, damaging his origin, his divine power was the first to run out, and he was defeated by Huo Yuhao. His aura weakened as he fell from the sky, caught in time by Xiao Wu, avoiding the tragedy of a God King falling to his death. But the outcome remained unchanged. Huo Yuhao descended from the sky, his sword tip at Tang San's throat. With one push, he could kill this legendary God King of the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years.
"No!" Xiao Wu shielded Tang San, pleading as she looked at Huo Yuhao. "Please, don't hurt Third Brother. He's still Xiao Qi… Dong'er's father! Dong'er, quickly persuade Yuhao. Do you really want your father to die?"
"Yes!" Wang Dong'er replied faintly, leaving Xiao Wu dumbfounded. She still couldn't understand why her once obedient and lovely daughter had become so cold and ruthless.
Ning Rongrong wanted to step forward but was stopped by Oscar beside her. Ning Rongrong turned back, seeing Oscar shake his head gravely. Though she couldn't bear it, she had to let it go.
"Why?" Xiao Wu cried, tears streaming down her face. "Why? Xiao Qi, why have you become like this?"
"Why? Ask Tang San!" Wang Dong'er's lips curled into a sneer, her eyes filled with hatred and pain as she spoke.
"Wutong, why? Why can't you understand? Daddy did it for your own good!" Tang San's face was pale, with blood at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were still filled with pained sorrow, like all misunderstood fathers.
"Haha, hahaha!" Wang Dong'er laughed loudly, unrestrained, as if she had heard the funniest joke. Then, her laughter stopped abruptly. Her body shook violently, her eyes bloodshot, staring fixedly at Tang San as she shrieked, "Is this why you cut my soul in half?"
"!"
Wang Dong'er's words were like thunder, exploding in Xiao Wu's ears and in the ears of all the surrounding gods. In an instant, nearly everyone understood where Wang Dong'er's hatred for Tang San came from.
Similarly, everyone's gaze toward Tang San changed. Before, they only knew Tang San was kind-faced but black-hearted, difficult to deal with. They hadn't expected him to be so heartless as to act against his own daughter. Hiss, this was truly beastly! Cutting his daughter's soul in half—tch, tch, tch, how cold-blooded did one have to be!
"T-Third Brother, is what Xiao Qi said true?" Xiao Wu could no longer cry, or rather, her tears had evaporated by this thunderous revelation. Her face pale, she stammered as she looked at Tang San.
"That was to let you gain the fortune of the Douluo Continent, increasing your chances of becoming a god!" Tang San didn't look at Xiao Wu's face but at Wang Dong'er, his eyes full of sorrow as he spoke.
"Oh? Is that so?" Wang Dong'er sneered. "So you stitched my soul together with Xiao Xiao's, right?"
"My original intention was to let you take the bloodline and fortune of that Emperor Auspicious Beast, but that beast didn't follow my plan. It's all that beast's fault. Wutong, you have to believe Daddy loves you!" Tang San's words were tearful, moving to any who heard them.
"I said, my name is Wang Dong'er, not Tang Wutong!" Wang Dong'er exploded again. She felt uncomfortable hearing the name Tang Wutong now. She roared, "Tang Wutong was just a tool you used to lure Yuhao. I am Wang Dong'er!"
"Wutong, why can't you understand Daddy's good intentions?" Tang San said painfully.
"Heh!" Wang Dong'er laughed coldly. "Good intentions? It was just for your own ambitions! My eldest uncle was killed by you, my second uncle was sacrificed for me, so I know all about your damn plan. You disgust me!
Tang San, from now on, we cut all ties. We are no longer father and daughter!"
Wang Dong'er's words were so decisive that Xiao Wu, upon hearing them, rolled her eyes and fainted. The gods were also shocked, their eyes filled with amazement.
"…Pfft!" Hearing this, Tang San's heart turned to ashes. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards. His eyes stared blankly upward. He knew he had lost his last hope. Fine, better to end it here and seek a chance at transcendence in reincarnation!
In the eyes of Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, Ji Dong, Lie Yan, and all the gods, Tang San's life force rapidly faded. Moments later, aside from the Asura God Sword left behind, Tang San's aura completely vanished.
The God of Destruction immediately summoned the Asura God Sword to his hand, closed his eyes, and began to investigate. After a long while, he opened his eyes, a trace of melancholy in them, and slowly said, "Tang San is dead!"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes showed relief and satisfaction. Wang Dong'er's expression was blank, the hatred and pain in her eyes fading somewhat. She woodenly stepped forward to pick up Xiao Wu, who had collapsed on the ground. With her enemy dead, only the mother-daughter relationship between Wang Dong'er and Xiao Wu remained.
The gods were silent, feeling a sense of sorrow. But those truly grieving for Tang San were likely only Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and the God of Destruction, Zhou Weiqing, hidden beneath his cloak.
