Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 206 Capturing Tang Hao and Instantly Refining the True and False Tang San: Fatherly Love and Filial Piety
The halberd blade then flashed with a sea-blue light.

This is the ultimate artifact of the Douluo world - the Trident of the Sea God!
"That's right, I don't quite understand either. How could someone who just merges with that little girl instantly ascend to the throne of the world's king, sweep away all enemies, and know all the secrets of this world?"

"But in the end, they would inexplicably give up readily available power and authority just to appease the burdens in the team."

"This is a foolish approach and decision."

At this point, the voice behind him seemed dissatisfied and paused for a moment before continuing.

"Of course, none of that matters. The key issue is that after learning his true identity, he didn't know how to choose between you, an outsider, and his own grandparents, and instead chose to let you help him seal his memories."

"Tsk, it seems he's been left to his own devices for too long and hasn't figured out who his real family is."

On the other side, when Tang Yin'er saw that the other person looked exactly like her, her mouth also opened slightly.

"How can that be?"

"Are you surprised to see me? Don't worry, nothing is impossible. Because between Wu Lin and me, you are the one who has come here."

As they spoke, the person's appearance changed, transforming from Tang Yin'er into a man.

"It's you? Tang San? No, you're not him, you're his divine consciousness."

Before Tang Yin'er could finish speaking, the man interrupted her with a hint of annoyance.

"How dare you! I am the real Tang San, he is merely my former self!"

That's right, he was once Tang San, or rather, he was Tang San's divine consciousness residing in Tang Wulin's body to protect him.

However, due to Tang Wulin's power, the Fantasy Book directly extracted him from Tang Wulin's body and stored him in the Fantasy World.

Therefore, excluding his experience of being crushed by the enraged Golden Dragon King with a single claw, since he had already been "protected" by the fantasy book, he couldn't die.

He even benefited from his "death" once, directly receiving the gift of the fantasy book and becoming a true independent consciousness.

In short, it was because Tang Wulin used his own Blue Silver Grass bloodline to write the fantasy book "Tree of Life/Omniscient and Omnipotent".

This fragment of his divine consciousness, which appeared because of Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass bloodline, was also fortunately recognized by the fantasy book as the spirit of the Blue Silver Grass, namely the spirit of the fantasy book "Tree of Life/Omniscient and Omnipotent".

Of course, it's just a book spirit; it doesn't have any omnipotent book permissions.

However, due to the previous fusion of Tang Wulin and Tang Yin'er, Tang Wulin not only shared his permissions with Tang Yin'er.

He also shared this so-called "book spirit" with Tang Yin'er, which is why the book spirit could remain dormant in Tang Yin'er's body without being discovered.

It was precisely because of this that he seized the best opportunity when Tang Wulin and Tang Yin'er were at their lowest strength to carry out the backstab!

Tang Yin'er, who had already mobilized her omniscient power to understand everything, also realized this instantly.

"So that's how it is. A fragment of divine consciousness suddenly developed self-awareness, and was unwilling to be just a shadow or even a 'son' of someone else, so it prepared to overthrow its master and try to seize everything from the original body."

"This is something only the Tang family would do."

Upon hearing this, that person—or rather, Tang San, the divine consciousness—also gave a disdainful smile.

"Hmph, what do you know, a mere aggregate formed from the collective will of all living beings?"

"Besides, don't forget, the person you love also belongs to the Tang family!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yin'er's beautiful eyes widened, and her silver hair stood on end like a cat's fur standing on end due to her inner anger.

"Wu Lin and you all—no, Wu Lin's biggest mistake is that although he has the surname Tang, he was born into your Tang family, not his current Tang family!"

As she spoke, Tang Yin'er gestured with her right hand, and the Angelic Holy Sword reappeared.

Then, under the shocked gaze of Tang San, she ignored the trident stuck in her body, turned around, and with a single sword strike, sent Tang San flying.

"Hmph! He only awakened himself by sheer luck, relying on a trace of bloodline energy shared with Wu Lin, yet he dares to comment on Wu Lin's behavior with the air of a father."

"Looking at you, acting like everyone else is an idiot and only you are fit to control the situation, makes me furious. What? You really think you're the one who's playing mind games in a god-like world made up of a bunch of idiots?"

"According to the cause and effect relationship, even if you do have Tang San's memories, you are not the real Tang San. You are just a lucky person who obtained the power of Wu Lin by chance through the bloodline aura!"

"Therefore, it should be you who calls Wu Lin 'father,' regards him as your master, loves what he loves, and thinks what he thinks!"

"Without Wu Lin, you would just be a broken clone, no, a broken fragment of divine consciousness without a self!"

After saying that, Tang Yin'er waved her hand again, and two fantasy books appeared.

"Angel of Justice!"

"Fallen Angel!"

"Transform!"

"The angel draws his sword!"

Soon, Tang Yin'er, having completed her transformation, pointed her sword at Tang Hao, who was lying nearby, his mouth opening and closing his eyes repeatedly, looking as if he was about to be killed by the aftershocks of Tang Yin'er's transformation.

"Hmph, although I don't know why you suddenly appeared at this time, just thinking about the character of your original self tells me."

"You're probably going to tell me that same old 'this power is too strong, only you are worthy to wield' thing again, aren't you?"

"Hmph! But times have changed. Even if your original self, Tang San, came, he would be nothing more than an ant that could be destroyed with a single sword strike by my power and Wu Lin's power!"

"So now that you've shown up, you can die here with your repulsive memories and appearance!"

"I forgot to tell you, even though my strength and authority are indeed at their weakest right now, with Wu Lin's power, I am still the invincible omniscient and omnipotent one here!"

"And Wu Lin's world doesn't need you, his so-called father... no, his son!"

After saying that, Tang Yin'er cut the Sea God's Trident in half with a single sword strike, and then she suddenly transformed into a streak of light and slashed at Tang San's divine sense.

At this moment, seeing Tang Yin'er swinging her sword at him, Tang San, who had been lying on the ground looking like he was about to die from serious injuries, suddenly revealed a strange smile.

"Yes, having shared half of Wu Lin's authority, you are indeed half an invincible omniscient and omnipotent being in your own body, or rather, in the realm of the Tree of Life's Fantasy Book."

But aren't I the same?

Upon hearing this, Tang Yin'er felt a sense of foreboding.

But before Tang Yin'er could speak, Tang San, who had just been lying on the ground looking like he was about to die, suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The next second, he instantly appeared next to Tang Hao, who was tied up in place by Tang Yin'er.

"Hehehe, you're right about one thing. I'm not Tang San now, and I don't even know who I am!"

"Because I not only have Tang San's memories, but also because of the fusion between Tang Wulin and you, I have your memories! So I don't know who I really am, but!" At this point, Tang San's divine consciousness paused, and then he revealed a maniacal smile again.

“You’re right about one thing: because of Tang Wulin, I should indeed call Tang Wulin my father!”

"Even because it incorporates your and Tang San's memories, I should prioritize the man who is most important to both of you, making him the center of attention, loving what he loves and thinking what he thinks."

"I should have committed suicide on the spot so that he wouldn't know about my father's existence because of me!"

"But!!! Why? Why! He's so perfect, why can't I have him! He's clearly my son, why can't I teach him?"

"Why can't I be with him? I'm the one who watched him grow up! I was the one who first met him!"

"You filthy woman, and even that lowly servant of the Silver Dragon King and that bunch of sluts are the ones who came later!"

"Only I can control Tang Wulin; I am his true childhood sweetheart!"

"Only I am worthy to wield his power. I, Tang San, am the only true god in this universe!"

As they spoke, Tang San, with his divine sense, grabbed Tang Hao's head, who was tied to the ground.

The next second, Tang Hao, who was unconscious, suddenly let out a scream.

"what!!!!"

Immediately following, in an instant, Tang Hao, the second world ruler of this world, was instantly refined!
In an instant, the aura emanating from Tang San's body surged wildly, instantly becoming equal to that of Tang Yin'er!
"Hehehe, that's right, this is the power I need! Omnipotent power! With this, I can..."

"Waaah, Father, this is all for the eternal glory of our Tang family. I'm sure you'll understand, Third Son."

"No, that's not right! I'm not Tang San, I'm not him! I don't know this old man, I'm not his son! I'm Tang Wulin's son, and Tang Wulin's lover!"

"So I didn't kill my father at all! I just absorbed the power that I deserved! This is a gift that Wu Lin prepared for me!"

"That's right, I want to become a true all-rounder like Wu Lin, and I want to rewrite that disgusting ending of the story."

"I am not some mystical floor tile, nor am I some hypocrite or charlatan; I am the most powerful sea god, radiant with boundless light!"

"Xiao Wu, Wu Tong, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done this. I should be a good husband and father. But don't worry, I will take good care of Wu Lin, absolutely!"

Seeing Tang San, who had just finished performing the "filial piety between father and son" act but was now standing still, crying and laughing at the same time, Tang Yin'er also stopped her attack.

"This guy... is he crazy?"

But soon, with the help of the power of omniscience, Tang Yin'er also learned about the problem with Tang San's current divine consciousness.

"So that's how it is. It's because the combination of Tang San's and my memories, these two ways of thinking about Wu Lin, caused his newly awakened self-awareness to collapse mentally?"

Thinking of this, Tang Yin'er felt a little guilty.

While the two extreme views on Tang Wulin were certainly the reason for the split in Tang San's consciousness, the main reason was that Tang San's consciousness had merged with hers.

Or rather, it incorporated her consciousness as the consciousness of the world.

Simply put, she is the world consciousness, which is manifested from the unified will of all beings in this world, so she herself represents the will of all beings.

If anyone tries to seize her body or even absorb her power, they will be assimilated and eroded by the will of all living beings.

This is why it took Tang Hao and Ah Yin ten thousand years, plus splitting her in two, to barely absorb her power.

Because the thoughts of all living beings are too complex, just like in a certain world of gods and tombs, people's hearts are different, and countless emotions surge out at all times.

Regardless of the time, negative emotions are the most exaggerated.

Jealousy, lust, greed, gluttony, pride, resentment
The reason she was able to remain unaffected before was not only because her very existence was the will of all beings, but also because she was previously an "ignorant computer program" that had not awakened her self.

Now that she has awakened to her true self, she immediately took this matter to heart.

That's why she didn't immediately reclaim her power and authority after defeating Tang Hao.

Aside from Tang Hao's lack of initiative, she also needed Tang Wulin's power to gradually filter out these negative emotions.

Tang Sanque, whose consciousness was completely unaware of this, was directly forced to accept the negative emotions of all living beings.

In addition to Tang San's memories, there are also her memories.

The negative emotions and extreme love of all beings intertwine with Tang San's memories.

And this is what forced Tang San's divine consciousness to become like this.

"Hey, since you're not the real Tang San, then you..."

Meanwhile, just as Tang Yin'er was debating whether to temporarily cease hostilities and wait for Tang Wulin to come and deal with Tang San's divine consciousness at dawn, she suddenly saw vines formed by rings of divine chains of order binding her from behind.

Yes, that's the familiar backstab!

But this time, it wasn't Tang San's consciousness, but Ah Yin who had been forced into a deep sleep long ago!
But soon, Tang Yin'er, who noticed that Ah Yin's eyes were still tightly closed, immediately realized what was going on.

"It's you."

"That's right, it's me! What, do you think you're worthy of pity? Don't give me that Mother of All Things act! You're nothing but food for my Tang family's advancement!" Divine Sense Tang San shouted maniacally.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yin'er, who had initially felt a little apologetic towards Tang Sanbao, instantly became furious.

"enough!"

With just a slight tremor, the vines of order binding her collapsed on the spot. Then, she supported Ah Yin with one hand and pointed her sword at Tang San's consciousness with the other.

"Considering that you are not the real Tang San, but just an unlucky newborn, I will do this for Wu Lin's sake."

"I'm giving you one last chance. Surrender now, and I can still help you heal."

At this moment, before Tang Yin'er could finish speaking, Tang San's consciousness seemed to have been pierced by Tang Yin'er's words, as if a sensitive nerve had been touched.

"Bullshit! You lowly wench! I was here first! I am the rightful wife! Wu Lin's power can only be mine! Only mine!!! Hehahaha!"

In his frenzy, Tang San's divine sense beckoned, and the broken Trident of the Sea God, which had fallen not far away, automatically flew into his hand.

"Watch this! This power can write everything! This is proof of the bond between me and Wu Lin!"

As they spoke, a flash of light appeared, and the broken Trident of Poseidon immediately reassembled and changed its shape.

This is the Sword of Time - Realm Time!
