Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 177, page 195: The children's game is over.

When Zhu Zhuqing regained consciousness, she found herself in a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar. It was familiar because she could sense that she was in the realm of gods, but it was unfamiliar because she didn't know which temple in the realm of gods she was in.

"You're awake," Huo Yuhao said.

Zhu Zhuqing's illusory soul looked at Huo Yuhao, a sense of familiarity washing over her: "You are..."

"My name is Huo Yuhao. Logically speaking, I should call you Ancestor," Huo Yuhao said.

"You're Yuhao," Zhu Zhuqing said. "You're the one who saved me?"

"I killed you, but I also saved you," Huo Yuhao said.

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent. Soon, she realized that the time in the God Realm was different from that in the Douluo Continent, but they were synchronized. So why would Huo Yuhao, ten thousand years later, appear in the God Realm of this era?

"I arrived even earlier than you. I became a god and returned to the God Realm about 40,000 years ago on the Douluo Continent," Huo Yuhao said.

Zhu Zhuqing asked, "So, you killed me to get revenge on me?"

Huo Yuhao was considered a junior to both her and Dai Mubai. Tang San proposed a marriage alliance and offered to personally mentor Huo Yuhao. Dai Mubai was delighted, believing it would strengthen the ties between the Dai and Tang families. However, Zhu Zhuqing had a different perspective. The chosen one of Douluo Continent was no ordinary being. The millennia-long fortune of Douluo had given rise to countless gods: the Dragon God, the Ice God, the Angel God, the Sea God, and Tang San—none of them were ordinary beings.

The chosen one of destiny can become a god on his own without the Tang family's support, and even become a giant in the god realm. This creates entanglements with the Tang family, leading to karmic consequences. Tang San seems to be planning to take the chosen one of their destiny into his own service and make him a member of the Tang family.

If Huo Yuhao had grown up on his own, he would have been a god of the Dai family. But if he had been taken into the Tang family by Tang San, he would have been a member of the Tang family, even though he was surnamed Dai.

Dai Mubai couldn't understand this principle, and Zhu Zhuqing, being of low status and unable to change anything, simply let things take their course.

As Zhu Zhuqing predicted, Huo Yuhao was perfectly tamed by Tang San and became his daughter's devoted follower. As long as Tang San said "east" with a woman in his hands, Huo Yuhao would not dare to go west. Although he eventually changed his surname to Dai, he also married into the Tang family. So, in the end, will this infinitely potential god-realm giant belong to the Dai family or the Tang family? The answer is already clear.

I just never expected that thing to happen later.
In response to Zhu Zhuqing's question, Huo Yuhao simply shook his head: "I have no hatred for you. As I told you before, I killed you, but I also saved you."

"Saved me?"

"You gained memories of your past life after you died, but did you know that four of the Shrek Seven Devils have memories of their past lives? Dai Mubai is one of them."

"He was reborn?" Zhu Zhuqing recalled that after her martial soul awakened and she signed a contract with Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai immediately ran away, which was completely different from her previous life. In other words, after being reborn, Dai Mubai went to Shrek Academy to work hard.
"Unfortunately, the truth is a little different from what you think." Huo Yuhao shattered Zhu Zhuqing's illusions. He asked, "Do you want to know what Dai Mubai has been doing for the past six years?"

"Will you tell me?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

Huo Yuhao activated his Divine Eye, presenting Zhu Zhuqing with Dai Mubai's actions over the past six years.

In the scene, after Dai Mubai left Xingluo, his desires were completely unleashed like a tiger released from its cage. For six years, Dai Mubai only spent a small part of his time cultivating each day, and sometimes he didn't even cultivate at all. What did he do the rest of the time?

In Soto City, he was a womanizer. At his peak, he could have five dates a day simultaneously, his schedule meticulously planned. During this time, Huo Yuhao even presented Zhu Zhuqing with the exact conversations between Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar.

Zhu Zhuqing stared grimly at Dai Mubai's masterpiece in the image, and slowly, black energy began to emanate from around her.
She remembered the vows Dai Mubai made to her in her past life, the promise he made to love only her for the rest of his life.
Then look at Dai Mubai, who flirts with women everywhere, complaining to Ma Hongjun and Oscar that he's tired of them and doesn't want to be tied to them anymore; he wants to own a whole forest.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing felt that her past life was full of irony.

"Was all his genuine feelings before his rebirth just an act?" Zhu Zhuqing said angrily.

"I can't answer that question for you, because he's already answered it, hasn't he?" Huo Yuhao said.

Zhu Zhuqing said with disgust, "A leopard can't change its spots, but what does that have to do with you saving me?"

"Knowing that Dai Mubai betrayed you after his rebirth, would you forgive him again?" Huo Yuhao asked.

“Absolutely not,” Zhu Zhuqing said firmly.

"No, you will," Huo Yuhao said. "In his previous life, Dai Mubai cultivated an image of devoted love, which ultimately led to his downfall, forcing him to love only one woman for the rest of his life. In this life, he plans to learn from his past mistakes, maintaining a stable home life while having affairs outside. But even after such an outrageous incident, you will still forgive him. Why—"

"Because you and he have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he is the master and you are the second. As long as you live, you will always be her subordinate. No matter what he does, you will eventually forgive him and reconcile with him. This is also the source of his confidence."

"But don't you think that's pathetic?"

Zhu Zhuqing felt dejected. This was how it had always been for the women of the Zhu family. The only one who had ever been unfaithful was the Dai family; no woman from the Zhu family had ever betrayed the person she used her Martial Soul Fusion Technique to do so.

Huo Yuhao continued, "So, your death also freed you from the fate you were destined to face. Isn't that saving you?"

"Thank you." Zhu Zhuqing changed the subject and asked, "But your purpose isn't just that, is it?"

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "Of course, there are many reborn people in Douluo Continent now. Four of the Shrek Seven Devils are among them. They have one thing in common: arrogance. Even after being reborn, they still believe that the world will revolve around them."

"So, I'm using your death to tell them that it's time for children to stop playing games and for adults to start living."

Zhu Zhuqing: "."

She silently mourned for her former companions, but Dai Mubai was not included in that mourning.

Meanwhile, after being persuaded by Tang San, Xiao Wu finally agreed to go to Shrek Academy.

In six years, Tang San barely reached level 29 in cultivation. As for the time he wasted serving Xiao Wu, that was the time he spent forging hidden weapons and cultivating the Tang Sect's secret techniques.
