Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 416 Extra Chapter 1: The Battle of the God Kings! Huo Yuhao's Revenge!

"Is this the realm of the gods? It feels so dreamlike!"

The Heavenly Gate of the Divine Realm is the point where the Divine Realm connects to the mortal realm. For those who transcend from the mortal realm and become gods, the first stop on their journey to the Divine Realm is this white jade gate standing amidst the clouds.

At this moment, beneath the white jade gate, a man and two women stepped through the heavenly gate and entered the divine realm, a place coveted by countless beings. Among the three, the petite woman on the left uttered a sound full of curiosity and amazement, which was immediately echoed by the man beside her.

"Indeed! It seems like we're standing on clouds. Doesn't the realm of gods have land?" The man's voice carried a hint of doubt, but also a great deal of curiosity.

"No." Compared to her two companions, the tall woman on the right appeared quite calm, as if she had already been to the God Realm. Haha, that makes sense; this woman was indeed born in the God Realm. So, she explained to her two companions, "The God Realm is a plane independent of Douluo Star. Because it doesn't have a planet as its foundation, it naturally doesn't have a surface. However, some areas still have land, but it's very rare."

"I see!" The man exclaimed, his face showing realization.

"Yuhao!" Just then, a man flew from the depths of the God Realm. The man was handsome, with dazzling golden hair and a calm demeanor. He called out to the three of them with joy on his face.

"Master!" The man among the three smiled when he saw the newcomer; he was none other than Yuhao, the man with the blond hair.

Without a doubt, the man and two women are Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong'er, who ascended to the God Realm from Douluo Continent. The blond man whom Huo Yuhao calls his master is Rong Nianbing, the previous God of Emotions.

"You've really accomplished something great!" Rong Nianbing landed in front of Huo Yuhao, feeling both melancholy and gratified, and said.

"Hehe!" Huo Yuhao naturally understood what Rong Nianbing was talking about, smiled, and didn't say anything.

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet the God Kings of the God Realm Committee." Rong Nianbing didn't ask any further questions. He then glanced at Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er, his feelings quite complicated. He knew that the God Realm wouldn't be peaceful for some time to come, but what did that have to do with him? He no longer held a godhood. Once he completed the final handover with Huo Yuhao, he could leave this turbulent place and roam the stars!

"God King? My disciple should also be a God King, right?" Rong Nianbing murmured, her tone strange.

Soon, Huo Yuhao and his two companions, led by Rong Nianbing, arrived at the center of the God Realm, in an incomparably magnificent hall. At this time, almost all the gods of the God Realm had already gathered in the hall, with a few others presumably on their way.

Above the main hall stood four deities whose aura and power were clearly superior to 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. When they saw Huo Yuhao and his companions, their auras visibly fluctuated.

Looking at the four individuals, and recalling what Zhu Ziyang had told him in the lower realm and Rong Nianbing's words on the way, Huo Yuhao immediately understood their identities. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and, with respect for his seniors, said, "Junior Huo Yuhao, the newly appointed Rakshasa God, greets the four seniors!"

"No need for formalities." The God of Destruction raised his hand and spoke, his voice somewhat cold, but his words were very calm. "You restored the position of Rakshasa, and as members of the Divine Realm Committee, we should thank you. Moreover, Rakshasa is the God-King, so you don't need to be so humble. We can treat each other as equals!"

"This..." Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Thank you, seniors."

"Haha, alright, don't be so serious," said Ji Dong, the evil goddess dressed in black robes, with a laugh. "Come, Yuhao, let me introduce you to the great figures of the God Realm."

"Thank you, Senior Evil," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"Hey~ just call me Ji Dong, or if I may be so bold as to call me Brother Ji," Ji Dong said, waving his hand. He clearly placed Huo Yuhao on an equal footing with himself, which wasn't surprising, since they were both God Kings and successors. Apart from the difference in the time they were born, who was more noble than whom?

"Brother Ji!" Huo Yuhao was quick to respond and called out directly. He always remembered what Zhu Ziyang had told him: his only opponent in the God Realm was Tang San, so he had to make as many friends as possible so that he wouldn't be isolated and helpless when he clashed with Tang San.

However, judging from the current situation, Tang San is not present. Obviously, this Sea God is preparing a surprise for him.

Huo Yuhao didn't care. With his current strength, even if he couldn't defeat Tang San, Tang San couldn't kill him either. He could endure it, but Tang San seemed to have no way out.

"Hey! These seven are all elemental gods. This one is the god of fire, also known as the fire god, but his position has already been passed down, and he will be leaving soon."

This is the goddess of water, the water goddess. She and the fire god are husband and wife. She has already found a successor and will leave with the fire god in a while.

This is the Goddess of Gold... This is the Goddess of Earth... This is the Goddess of Wood... This is the Goddess of Darkness... This is the Goddess of Light. She and the Goddess of Darkness are husband and wife, and they have found a successor. They will leave the divine realm together in a while.

The positions of the God of Wind, the God of Lightning, and the God of Ice are vacant and have not yet been filled.

Huo Yuhao met the seven elemental gods through Ji Dong. The seven elemental gods all greeted him with friendly smiles. Although he was a newcomer, he was still a God King. In the God Realm, the difference between the ranks of gods was greater than the difference between a human and a pig. They had no choice but to smile!

Huo Yuhao was most familiar with the God of Fire, since the new God of Fire was Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao. As for the other elemental gods, he was not familiar with them. Ji Dong said that the God of Water and the God of Light had already found successors, but he had not sensed the divine power of these two on the Douluo Continent, so their successors should not be from Douluo Star.

"These seven are the seven deadly sins. 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."

When Ji Dong introduced the Seven Deadly Sins, his tone became a little strange, as if he had a hint of resentment. Huo Yuhao, as the god who controls emotions, immediately noticed the change in Ji Dong's emotions. But why?

Huo Yuhao recalled what Zhu Ziyang had once told him: the Seven Deadly Sins were secondary deities subordinate to evil. In other words, the Seven Deadly Sins should be subordinate gods to the evil god. However, based on what he had seen, the Seven Deadly Sins were clearly distancing themselves from Ji Dong, the evil god. Why? Was it because Ji Dong was a second-generation god, while they were both first-generation gods? That was possible.

Ji Dong's introduction continued, and Huo Yuhao finally realized that, apart from the four God Kings, all the deities in the hall seemed to be first-level gods: the Seven Elemental Gods, the Seven Deadly Sins Gods, the God of Destruction, the God of Time, the God of Space, and the Sea God who was not present. This perfectly matched the eighteen main gods that Rong Nianbing had mentioned.

But what about the Seven Virtuous Gods who belong to the God of Goodness? Aren't they also first-level gods? Why haven't I seen a single one? Or are they all absent? Since the God of Goodness has the Seven Virtuous Gods as subordinates, the God of Evil has the Seven Deadly Sins, and the God of Asura has the Gods of Slaughter, does he, as the God of Rakshasa, also have subordinate gods? Seven Emotional Gods? Huo Yuhao thought of his seven soul spirits, each carrying an emotion, and all possessing god-level strength. If they could reach the strength of first-level gods, wouldn't that perfectly fit the identity of Seven Emotional Gods?

In an instant, Huo Yuhao thought about many things and finally understood what Zhu Ziyang meant when he told him to pay more attention to his soul before he left.

After Ji Dong finished introducing the seventeen main gods, all seventeen main gods acknowledged Huo Yuhao's position as God King. Uh, just kidding, how could they not acknowledge him? He was one of the original eight kings of the God Realm. Although he wasn't the first generation, he was still the successor!

At the invitation of the God of Destruction and Ji Dong, Huo Yuhao stepped onto the central axis of the God Realm. Although the God of Asura was not present, Huo Yuhao's status as a God King was enough to make him a member of the God Realm Committee.

"Xiao Qi, are you alright?" The Goddess of Life asked Wang Dong'er with surprise and worry on her face.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er followed behind Huo Yuhao. Although they had both broken through to the god level, they did not possess godhood, so they stood out in the hall. Xiao Xiao was fine because none of the gods recognized her, but Wang Dong'er was different. Although she had grown up, her appearance was still recognizable, and with the indelible divine aura on her, her identity was obvious.

"Aunt Lü, I'm fine." Wang Dong'er said with a wry smile, "Also, from now on you can just call me Dong'er. I can't bear the name Xiao Qi."

"Poor child!" Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Life felt a pang of heartache. She didn't know what the Sea God had done to Wang Dong'er, but from her withered soul, she could tell that the child must have suffered greatly in the mortal realm; otherwise, she wouldn't have uttered such heartbreaking words. She couldn't help but step forward, embrace Wang Dong'er, and gently comfort her, "It's alright. Calling her Dong'er is fine too; at least you're free, aren't you?"

Due to their divine positions, the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction have been unable to conceive, which has led to the Goddess's great fondness for children. Wang Dong'er, as the only child born in the divine realm in the last hundred years, is naturally very much loved by her. However, with the God of Death returning to the divine realm, the possibility of her and Xiao Zi having children has increased considerably. Perhaps in the near future, she will indeed be able to have her own child; who knows?

"Dong'er, do you know your mother is back?" The benevolent god Lieyan also walked to Wang Dong'er's side and asked with concern.

"I don't know." Wang Dong'er shook her head blankly, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes, and said, "Perhaps that person will tell her."

Because of Tang San, Wang Dong'er also came to hate her mother, Xiao Wu. Although she knew that Xiao Wu was very likely unaware of the torment she had suffered, she just couldn't control her heart. She didn't know if the mother and daughter could go back to the way things were before, but she no longer had the feelings she once had for Tang San, her father.

"This..." The Goddess of Life and Blazing Flame exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. They couldn't understand what kind of experience could make a child harbor such hatred for his parents! And what exactly did the Sea God do?

"Why isn't Tang San here yet!" Upon hearing the words of the two goddesses, a hint of anger flashed in the eyes of the God of Destruction. The return of the Rakshasa God was such an important matter, and Tang San, as the God of Asura, should have been present. Yet he had not appeared for a long time. This Tang San was far too disrespectful to the God Realm Committee.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

A group of seven people walked out of the main hall. The one in the lead, with blue hair and a red robe, was none other than the Sea God and the Asura God, Tang San. Huo Yuhao recognized all six people behind him; their appearances were no different from the statues of the original Seven Devils of Shrek Academy.

"I'm late." Tang San's expression was calm, and he didn't seem embarrassed about being late. Instead, his gaze naturally fell on Huo Yuhao, full of appreciation and praise. If Huo Yuhao didn't know Tang San's actions well, he would probably really think that he was a senior who was happy to help his juniors.

"Shura, it's one thing for you to be late, but you also brought so many unrelated people. Isn't that against the rules?" the God of Destruction questioned.

"Haha, there's a reason for this, please forgive me." Tang San smiled apologetically and explained, "It's mainly because the new Rakshasa God comes from Douluo Continent and is considered our junior, so I specially brought my brothers here to take a look."

"Xiao Qi!" As soon as Tang San finished speaking, the beautiful woman with a black scorpion braid beside him quickly stepped forward and called out to Wang Dong'er with joy in her eyes. Judging from her behavior, she was Wang Dong'er's mother, Xiao Wu, the Soft Bone Douluo among the original Shrek Seven Devils.

"Madam, my name is Wang Dong'er, not Xiao Qi!" When Wang Dong'er saw Xiao Wu's joyful expression, any trace of filial piety she had left vanished completely. She had suffered so much in the mortal realm, and this woman was still laughing so happily. What a stupid woman! She said expressionlessly and in an icy tone.

"Wh-what?" Xiao Wu stopped walking towards Wang Dong'er abruptly, her expression a mixture of surprise and unease. She said, "Xiao Qi, what are you saying? Stop teasing Mommy. Come here and let Mommy take a good look at my precious daughter."

Wang Dong'er remained unmoved, looking at Xiao Wu with indifferent eyes. Xiao Wu finally panicked because she realized that her precious daughter's gaze was so cold, as if she were looking at a stranger. Where was the affection and love she used to have?

"Xiao Qi, what's wrong? I'm your mom!" Xiao Wu called out helplessly to Wang Dong'er, her tearful expression making Wang Dong'er extremely irritated.

By this time, the gods in the hall had already retreated to the edge, trying to minimize their presence so they could better observe the spectacle. They had realized that the sea god's daughter seemed to have an irreconcilable conflict with the sea god and his wife. What exactly was this conflict? Their curiosity was burning.

"Alright, Wu Tong, Dad knows you're angry with me, but you can't throw a tantrum at your mother! Look how anxious she is! Dad apologizes to you. Come here and let your mother take a good look at you." Tang San stepped forward, put his arm around Xiao Wu, and pulled her into his embrace. Then, with a reproachful look on his face, he gently scolded Wang Dong'er, appearing every bit the good father.

"Apologize?" Wang Dong'er broke down completely. She realized that the torment she had suffered was insignificant to Tang San; it was a minor mistake that she would have to forgive if he apologized. She burst into a maniacal laugh, "Hahaha, apologize? Such an easy word, hahaha!"

Wang Dong'er's laughter was particularly jarring in the hall. This manic and mad behavior not only made Xiao Wu forget her panic, but also filled the other gods with a desire to spy on her. They were eager to know what this child had gone through to become so crazy!

Huo Yuhao stepped forward and grasped Wang Dong'er's hand. Upon feeling Huo Yuhao's action, Wang Dong'er stopped laughing, her face turning cold as she glared at Tang San with hatred.

Wang Dong'er's gaze deeply wounded Xiao Wu, and also filled the other five monsters with suspicion. Ning Rongrong, the only one who knew some of the inside story, was filled with guilt and self-blame. As for Tang San, a trace of irritation flashed in his eyes, the kind of irritation that only comes after being disobeyed.

"Wu Tong, Dad knows I've gone too far in some things, but it's all for your own good!" Tang San said sternly, his voice filled with heartache. "Why can't you understand Dad's good intentions?!"

"It's for my own good..." Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er's emotions, which had begun to calm down, were about to surge with emotion again. Huo Yuhao quickly hugged her, handed her to Xiao Xiao behind him, and said, "Don't worry, I've got everything covered!"

Huo Yuhao stepped forward, facing Tang San directly, and said expressionlessly, "Tang San, there are some things that need to be clarified."

When Tang San heard Huo Yuhao address him by his given name, his brows furrowed and his irritation intensified. The feeling of things slipping out of his control really annoyed him, a control-type Soul Master.

"How dare you speak to your father-in-law like that! You disrespectful son!" Behind Tang San, a tall man with blond hair and heterochromatic eyes shouted. His face showed some anger, but more of a sense of pride. His identity was not hard to guess: Dai Mubai, the leader of the original Shrek Seven Devils, the ancestor of the Dai family of the Star Luo Empire, and the inheritor of the second-level god of war.

Huo Yuhao merely glanced at him discreetly, and Dai Mubai, who was about to continue speaking, was instantly rendered speechless, like a duck being choked. Then, Huo Yuhao said softly, "Although I'm reluctant to admit it, we do indeed share the same blood, so I will not hold your transgression against you, only this once!"

Dai Mubai recovered and immediately knelt on the ground, panting heavily, looking relieved to have been saved. Beside him, the stunningly beautiful woman immediately knelt down to comfort him, her eyes filled with lingering fear and confusion. However, they had no interest in interfering in this matter now; the God-King's power was too terrifying.

"Outrageous!" Tang San roared in fury, "Dai Yuhao, Mu Bai is your ancestor! How could you treat him like this? This is utterly disrespectful!"

"Ha!" Huo Yuhao sneered upon hearing this, immediately holding up three fingers and saying coldly, "First, my surname is Huo, not Dai! Second, the White Tiger Duke Dai family are descendants of Davis, not Dai Mubai! Third, you don't need to change the subject; some things are better resolved now!"

"Very well!" Tang San's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity upon hearing this, and he said in a deep voice, "Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Mu Bai, you unfilial son who has forgotten your ancestors!"

As Tang San finished speaking, a set of blue-gold armor covered his body, and a trident appeared in his hand. He then pointed it at Huo Yuhao, adopting the posture of an elder lecturing a junior, and said, "Boy, let me teach you what it means to respect your elders on behalf of your parents!"

"Hmph!" Huo Yuhao sneered, "Why speak so righteously? You know what you've done; there's no need to pin so many charges on me! You don't deserve it!"

Similarly, as soon as he finished speaking, a set of colorful armor appeared on Huo Yuhao's body, and a long sword with seven-colored clouds appeared in his hand. He exuded an inscrutable emotion, and the sword's edge was pointed directly at Tang San.

The gods in the hall exclaimed how thrilling it was! They never expected that this Rakshasa god would be so fierce, confronting the sea god's sword and spear on his very first day in the divine realm. It was exhilarating, absolutely thrilling!

"Fighting is forbidden in the Divine Realm Hall! Please leave!" The God of Destruction spoke up at this moment. He did not intend to stop Huo Yuhao and Tang San's battle, but only to maintain the stability of the Divine Realm's central authority. A battle between two God-Kings, especially within the Divine Realm Hall, would inevitably affect the central authority of the Divine Realm, which was absolutely unacceptable.

"Let's go out and fight!" Huo Yuhao said, and then flew out of the God Realm Hall first. Tang San naturally had no intention of backing down, and followed him out.

Upon seeing this, all the gods flew away, afraid of missing this good show. Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao were carried away by the Goddess of Life and the God of Kindness.

In the God Realm, in a vast, empty space, Huo Yuhao and Tang San stood facing each other. Huo Yuhao's expression was solemn. This was his first battle since becoming a god, and he was facing a veteran powerhouse who had been a god for ten thousand years. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

Tang San's expression was relaxed, like an adult beating a child. In his opinion, beating Huo Yuhao was a piece of cake. Although he didn't know how Huo Yuhao turned the God of Emotions into a God King, it didn't matter. He would know once he beat Huo Yuhao into submission.

The battle between the two was about to break out. By the time all the gods had arrived, the battle between the two had become extremely fierce. Moreover, it was clearly visible to the naked eye that Tang San in his Sea God form was being suppressed by Huo Yuhao. Tang San was no longer as relaxed and carefree as before; every move he made was filled with solemnity and pressure.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao gradually improved in his battle with the Sea God, becoming more and more proficient in controlling divine power. Relying on his own abilities and the suppression of his divine position, he gradually forced Tang San into a desperate situation.

"Damn it!" Tang San was struck in the chest by Huo Yuhao and immediately staggered back dozens of steps, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His expression was grave as he stared at Huo Yuhao. He admitted that he had perhaps been a bit too arrogant. "Very well, you really are very good. It seems I need to get serious! Xiao Wu!"

"Third Brother!" Xiao Wu heard Tang San's call and, though somewhat unwilling, she still rushed towards him.

This action made Huo Yuhao wary. He knew that Tang San was preparing to use the Asura God form, but he did not intend to interrupt him because there was no need. As the Rakshasa God, he knew very well that the moment the Rakshasa God returned to his position, Tang San would no longer be able to hold two godhoods at the same time.

If Tang San doesn't use his Asura God position, everything will be fine. But if he does, the Asura God position, now complete thanks to the return of the Rakshasa God, will inevitably be unable to accommodate the Sea God position. As a god-king, how could the Asura God tolerate sharing a successor with a first-level deity?

Huo Yuhao was secretly looking forward to seeing what kind of expression Tang San would have when he discovered he couldn't use the Asura God's position.

Tang San was unaware of Huo Yuhao's thoughts. When he saw Huo Yuhao not stop Xiao Wu from rushing towards him, he felt a bit smug, thinking Huo Yuhao was still too young, and planned to go easy on him later. However, the next second, his smile vanished. He and Xiao Wu had successfully merged, and the aura of the Asura God began to replace that of the Sea God. Just as he was about to draw the Asura God Sword, he felt an unprecedented repulsion.

He was dumbfounded. He couldn't pull out the Asura Divine Sword. The Asura Godhood was rejecting him. Why was that? It shouldn't be like this!

Tang San refused to believe in evil and tried to forcibly pull out the Asura Divine Sword, but the repulsive force he encountered only increased instead of decreasing. The blood-red demonic sword, filled with murderous aura, was even constantly eroding the trident that symbolized the Sea God's position. This made him hesitate and dare not act rashly.

Therefore, at this moment, in the eyes of the gods outside, although Tang San had merged with Xiao Wu, he was unable to smoothly transform from the Sea God to the Asura God as before. Instead, he turned into a strange half-red and half-blue appearance, which made them all clearly feel that the two divine powers in Tang San's body were fighting!

"Heh!" The God of Destruction couldn't help but smile, eagerly anticipating what choice Tang San would ultimately make.

After the Asura God Power and the Sea God Power clashed for a moment, Tang San's expression turned extremely ugly. He realized the problem and was in a state of great inner turmoil. He looked up and saw Huo Yuhao, who was eyeing him menacingly, and thought of Zhu Ziyang, who was about to ascend to the God Realm. He understood that he had no other choice!

"Ding!" A crisp breaking sound echoed throughout the entire God Realm. A blue stream of light flew out from Tang San's body, and at the same time, a slender figure sprang out from his body, which was caught by Zhu Zhuqing in time.

However, the gods' attention was drawn to the blue light, for within it was a miniature trident, the symbol of the Sea God's position. Unexpectedly, the Sea God Tang San chose to relinquish his position as Sea God, which was truly shocking.

The miniature trident, symbolizing the position of the Sea God, flew towards the Heavenly Gate of the God Realm, towards His birthplace. However, this was no longer relevant to the gods, because at this moment, the former Sea God Tang San had completely transformed into the Asura God Tang San. After gaining the sole divine position, his power visibly increased, but his aura also visibly weakened. The aftereffects of self-abolishing his divine position could not be eliminated in a short time. However, his troubles were not yet over.

Seeing Tang San in his Asura God form, Huo Yuhao remained calm, his movements swift and decisive as he launched a direct attack. Facing Huo Yuhao in his Asura God form, Tang San was no longer as powerless as he had been in his Sea God form. This offered a small consolation to his dejected heart, but it wasn't enough. He no longer had any intention of teaching Huo Yuhao a lesson; he now had only one thought: to kill Huo Yuhao. Only in this way could he make up for his loss!

Now is the real battle of the God Kings. The aftershocks of divine power caused the spiritual energy in the boundless space to fluctuate, some boiling, some dormant, in various forms. Even more so, the spiritual energy around the two God Kings dissipated, leaving only endless divine power filling the vast field.

The battle between the two gods lasted for three days and three nights. In the end, Tang San, having damaged his own source by abandoning his position as the Sea God, was the first to run out of divine power and was defeated by Huo Yuhao. He fell from the sky, his aura weakened, but was caught by Xiao Wu in time, thus preventing the tragedy of a generation of God King being killed by a fall. However, the outcome did not change much. Huo Yuhao fell from the sky, his sword blade landing in front of Tang San. With just one more effort, he could kill this legendary God King of Douluo Continent who had lived for ten thousand years.

"No!" Xiao Wu shielded Tang San, pleadingly looking at Huo Yuhao. She said, "Please, don't hurt Third Brother! He's still Xiao Qi's... Dong'er's father! Dong'er, please talk to Yuhao! Do you really want your father to die?"

"Yes!" Wang Dong'er replied casually, which stunned Xiao Wu. She still couldn't understand why her obedient and lovely daughter had become so cold-blooded and ruthless.

Ning Rongrong wanted to step forward, but Oscar held her back. Ning Rongrong turned around and saw Oscar shaking his head with a solemn expression. Although she felt reluctant, she had no choice but to give up.

"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 said with a hint of sarcasm on her lips and hatred and pain in her eyes.

"Wu Tong, why? Why don't you understand? Dad is doing this for your own good!" Tang San's face was as white as paper, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were still filled with heartbreaking sorrow, just like any father who has been misunderstood.

"Haha, hahaha!" Wang Dong'er laughed loudly and unrestrainedly, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. Then, her laughter stopped abruptly, her whole body trembled violently, her eyes became bloodshot and red, and she stared intently at Tang San, demanding in a shrill voice, "Is this why you cut my soul in two?"

"!"

Wang Dong'er's words exploded like thunder in Xiao Wu's ears and in the ears of the surrounding gods. In an instant, almost everyone understood the source of Wang Dong'er's hatred for Tang San.

Similarly, everyone's gaze towards Tang San changed. Before, they only knew that Tang San was kind-hearted but ruthless, and not someone to be trifled with. They never expected him to be so ruthless, attacking his own daughter. Wow, that's truly beastly! Cutting his own daughter's soul in two, tsk tsk tsk, how cold-blooded can he be!

"Third...Third Brother, is what Xiao Qi said true?" Xiao Wu couldn't cry anymore, or rather, her tears had been evaporated by this thunderous news. Her face was pale, and she looked at Tang San with some stammering and asked.

"That's so that you can obtain the fortune of Douluo Continent, thereby increasing your chances of becoming a god!" Tang San didn't look at Xiao Wu's face, but looked at Wang Dong'er, his eyes full of sorrow, and said.

"Oh? Is that so?" Wang Dong'er sneered. "So you stitched my soul together with Xiao Xiao's soul, is that it?"

"My original intention was to let you possess the bloodline and fortune of that imperial auspicious beast, but unfortunately that beast did not follow my plan. It's all that beast's fault, Wu Tong. You must believe that your father loves you!" Tang San's words were truly heartbreaking, causing those who heard them to grieve and shed tears.

"I told you, my name is Wang Dong'er, not Tang Wutong!" Wang Dong'er exploded again. The mere mention of Tang Wutong made her extremely uncomfortable. She roared, "Tang Wutong was just a tool you used to seduce Yuhao! I am Wang Dong'er!"

"Wu Tong, why can't you understand your father's good intentions?" Tang San said painfully.

"Heh!" Wang Dong'er sneered, "Good intentions? You're just after your own ambition! You killed my eldest uncle, and you even sacrificed my second uncle to me, so I know all about your bullshit plan. You really disgust me!"

Tang San, from this day forward, our ties are severed; we are no longer father and daughter!

Wang Dong'er's words were so resolute that Xiao Wu immediately fainted upon hearing them, her eyes rolling back in her head. The gods were also greatly shocked, their eyes filled with astonishment.

"...Pfft!" Upon hearing this, Tang San felt utterly hopeless. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backward. His eyes were lifeless as he stared upward. He knew that he had lost his last hope. Well, it was better to end it all and still find a glimmer of liberation in the cycle of 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 other gods, Tang San's life force rapidly dissipated. A moment later, apart from the Asura Divine Sword remaining in place, Tang San's life force completely disappeared.

The God of Destruction immediately summoned the Asura Divine Sword, then closed his eyes and began to investigate. After a long while, he opened his eyes, a trace of melancholy flashing within them, and slowly said, "Tang San is dead!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes immediately revealed relief and joy. Wang Dong'er, on the other hand, remained expressionless, the hatred and pain in her eyes dissipating considerably. She mechanically stepped forward and picked up Xiao Wu, who had fallen to the ground. With their enemy dead, all that remained were Wang Dong'er and her daughter Xiao Wu.

The gods remained silent, their hearts filled with sorrow, but those who truly grieved for Tang San were probably only Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Zhou Weiqing, the God of Destruction who was completely hidden under his cloak.
