The God of Destruction laughed in sheer anger.
"So, you're telling me you all knew that Tang San split his daughter's soul, fused a part of it into a Spirit Beast's sea of consciousness? Fused it with a Spirit Beast?"
Questioned by the God of Destruction, Oscar was stunned.
He was utterly bewildered.
Dai Mubai and the others, who had initially stood with him in questioning the God of Destruction, were also completely frozen.
They couldn't comprehend what the God of Destruction's words meant.
Splitting a soul?
Fusing with a Spirit Beast?
They couldn't help but turn to look at Tang San.
Is this true?
The fact that they didn't mind Xiao Wu being a Spirit Beast didn't mean they could completely empathize with Spirit Beasts, nor did it mean they viewed Spirit Beasts as completely equal.
For Tang San to split his daughter's soul and fuse it with a Spirit Beast was no different from turning his daughter into a beast!
It was too monstrous.
Tang San was truly experiencing the feeling of being forsaken by all.
Even his companions couldn't understand him at this moment.
"So, Xiao San, back then when you sent Huo Yuhao to the Star Dou Great Forest, it was for that Spirit Beast?"
Oscar was trembling with anger and coldness.
He had sensed no trace of Tang Wutong's soul aura on the Auspicious Beast at all.
If he had sensed it then, he would have immediately severed the connection and tried to persuade Tang San to extract Tang Wutong's soul.
The core of the issue was no longer whether the God of Destruction had interfered with the mortal world, but Tang San's fitness as a parent.
Many deities in the God Realm looked upon Tang San with disdain.
Some curious deities even glanced towards the Douluo world.
Unfortunately, they couldn't see anything. They couldn't find Su Ming, couldn't find that fragment of Tang Wutong's soul. The divine senses of some weaker deities were detected as soon as they vaguely swept over the area where Du Busi and Di Tian were.
Among them, Rong Nianbing also probed the Douluo Continent.
He didn't find Su Ming or Tang Wutong's soul fragment, but he did find Huo Yuhao.
Upon finding Huo Yuhao, he also discovered the boy's talent.
"So, this is the target of Tang San's long-standing schemes? The opportunities are indeed quite good."
He secretly placed a mark on Huo Yuhao.
Not because of his talent or opportunity.
Mainly because, from Huo Yuhao, Rong Nianbing sensed the power of emotion.
This Huo Yuhao had genuinely fused the power of hatred into his very bones.
This was also intentionally orchestrated by Tang San; there were signs even before Huo Yuhao escaped the Duke's mansion.
How could an ordinary innate first-level spirit power break through to level 10 in just five years?
Was an eleven-year-old Spirit Master really that bad?
Ninety percent of the Spirit Masters on the continent couldn't obtain a single Spirit Ring before the age of ten.
It wasn't just a matter of talent, but also of temperament.
Where does a six-year-old child find the focus to cultivate?
To be precise, where do they find the discipline to cultivate?
No matter how enthusiastically they meditate, they can't keep it up for long.
No matter how much motivation they have, they will always become restless and unable to sit still.
Every single one of Huo Yuhao's experiences was manipulated by Tang San, guiding him from hatred to joy, to sorrow, to despair—all bore Tang San's handiwork.
Even when Tianmeng took him to the Extreme North to trick the Ice Empress into becoming a Martial Spirit, Huo Yuhao could feel betrayed and fall into despair.
Su Ming didn't know exactly what was happening.
But he could be sure that the conflict between Tang San and the God of Destruction was irreconcilable.
Tang San's carefully crafted persona in the God Realm was also ruined.
Of course, this definitely wouldn't make Tang San pay any real price. After all, as long as one was thick-skinned enough, even if everyone looked at him strangely, treating him like a monster, he could remain unperturbed.
Therefore, Su Ming didn't let the God of Destruction take Tang Wutong's soul fragment.
What a joke, the most valuable thing on the Auspicious Beast, besides the Spirit Ring, was Tang Wutong's soul fragment.
She was, after all, Tang San's daughter's soul. She could be considered a key bargaining chip for Su Ming in any future negotiations with Tang San.
Even without negotiations, he could simply analyze Tang Wutong's soul.
After all, she was delivered by the God of Life at birth and grew up in the God Realm absorbing immortal spiritual energy. Her soul, nourished by this energy, was extraordinary to begin with. By studying it thoroughly, he might be able to discern some characteristics of the God Realm's immortal spiritual energy.
After the God of Destruction disappeared, Di Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
He took a deep look at Su Ming, then transformed into a streak of light and left the valley, returning to the Land of Extreme Peril.
He didn't say anything about asking Su Ming to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest and share the Auspicious Beast's abilities with the forest.
It was meaningless.
Their cooperation with Su Ming was almost out in the open now.
The reason they Fierce Beasts valued the Auspicious Beast had been laid bare by Su Ming, so there was no need for superficial pleasantries anymore.
Su Ming didn't leave immediately.
He was still digesting the gains.
On the surface, it was just the sacrifice of a 15,000-year Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but in reality, the boost it gave Su Ming was immense.
This was the Auspicious Beast.
Its sacrifice to the Douluo 2 Su Ming actually created a chain reaction for the Douluo 3 Su Ming, significantly accelerating the condensation progress of his spirit domain.
God Realm.
The confrontation was still ongoing.
Tang San's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot at this moment.
With these matters exposed by the God of Destruction, his reputation was instantly in tatters.
In his view, he was securing his daughter's future, helping his daughter, doing what was best for her. But the God of Destruction's framing of the issue made it impossible for him to refute, and most deities were being led by the God of Destruction's words.
Tang San felt no regret.
Tang Wutong's talent wasn't particularly high.
At the very least, she wasn't suited to his own Martial Spirit—the Clear Sky Hammer.
This could be sensed from her personality.
So, he helped her obtain a God-bestowed Martial Spirit—the Butterfly of the Light Goddess—from the Butterfly God, essentially laying the foundation for a Butterfly God inheritance.
But even so, Tang Wutong's talent could only be considered good, not yet showing the makings of a god.
On this basis, he still had to secure the key element for her to become a god.
The Auspicious Beast's fortune was that key.
Even the Butterfly God Seat couldn't be inherited casually. If her rank wasn't sufficient, she could very well suffer a backlash.
As for the claim that he had turned his daughter into a beast, Tang San completely rejected it.
His daughter already had half Spirit Beast bloodline.
In his view, such an experience for Tang Wutong was instead worthy of her bloodline, and was the most suitable for her!
Seeing Tang San's expression remain normal, showing no remorse, and instead believing he had done nothing wrong, the God of Destruction was so angry he felt his lungs would explode.
He and the God of Life had no children. Hardly any children were born in the God Realm. Tang Wutong was one of the few, and he had watched her grow up, regarding her as his own. This was why he had tolerated Tang San many times in the past.
Now, discovering that Tang Wutong had been treated like this by Tang San, and that Tang San saw nothing wrong with it, of course he was furious beyond belief.
"Tang San, you truly are a beast!"
The God of Destruction roared, immediately gathering endless Annihilating Divine Thunder.
The other deities wisely distanced themselves from the vicinity of the Destruction Divine Hall.
The God of Life intercepted Xiao Wu, preventing her from leaving the Sea God Temple.
She was also furious.
Tang San was worse than a beast!
He absolutely needed to be taught a lesson today.
Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness.
"Two Spirit Souls?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion observed Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness, adopting the posture of inspecting her new territory.
Su Ming condensed a spiritual body, startling her.
"Ahem... As your Spirit Soul, I won't be... abused, right?"
Su Ming revealed a benevolent smile.
"Of course not. I, Su Ming, have always treated my Spirit Souls well."
Ah, my eyes hurt again after writing for so long. I'll switch to three chapters a day for a while. I should also find time to go to the hospital.
