Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 1335 Standoff and Interrogation (4K)

A fragment of soul drifted out from Wang Dong'er's palm.

The all-encompassing power unique to the sea god at the edge of the soul fragments has already explained a great deal.

The next moment, the last memory in the fragment of the soul was projected onto the screen.

"I always hear my parents talking about Douluo Continent, it seems like a lot of fun! Hehe."

"Ouch, Daddy, what did Xiaoqi do wrong? It hurts, it hurts so much."

The owner of that voice seemed to have his mouth sealed shut; he wanted to say something, but his thoughts were merely swirling in his mind's sea.

Soon, the illusory images disappeared, replaced by weak, labored breathing, as if someone was enduring immense pain.

"Xiaoqi can't see anymore, Xiaoqi is in so much pain, Xiaoqi is afraid of the dark."

"Tang San, did you really seal away Wu Tong's memories?"

"This child is too impulsive. I'm doing this for her own good. Erming, when Wutong wakes up, her name in the mortal realm will be Wang Dong'er."

"But what about Sister Xiaowu?"

"You don't need to worry about it. Wu Tong has always wanted to see her grandmother, so let's take this opportunity to send her to Shrek Academy when she's old enough. Remember, it can't be too early or too late."

"Brother, I feel something's not right."

"Something's definitely not right, eh."

"Kid, stop asking. If you ask too many questions, you'll give yourself away to Sister Xiaowu."

"Tang San said that he has a way to turn Wu Tong back to normal in the future, it seems to be using the power of the ocean."

"But Wu Tong's soul has been cut open by him. Is this blank soul still Wu Tong? If she goes to see her grandmother, will Wu Tong be able to see her?"

"Second brother, shut up! Do you think I don't understand what you understand? The more you talk, the more Xiao Wu is left to deal with. We can only protect Xiao Wu, not others!"

"But Xiao Qi."

That was the part where Tang San forcibly stripped Tang Wutong of her memories, cut her soul, and sent her to the lower realm.

The repetitive memories would stop playing at this point, and then start playing again as if rewinding.

The fragment of memory before her eyes completely refuted Tang San's claim of brainwashing. Xiao Wu trembled, looking at Tang San with fear.

This was the first time she felt that her third brother was so unfamiliar.

"absurd!"

The next moment, Tang San soared into the sky, intending to seize Tang Wutong's fragment of soul.

"Tang San, you're a madman!"

The Goddess of Life was experiencing extreme emotional fluctuations, and the phantom of the Ancient Tree of Life suddenly descended, completely enveloping her.

She murmured to herself, and strands of emerald green light gradually emanated from her body.

The enormous phantom of the ancient tree of life burst forth with seemingly endless vitality, and every leaf lit up, illuminating the entire space.

This was the first time since the start of the war that the Goddess of Life had displayed divine power equal to, or even surpassing, that of the God of Destruction. Her overwhelming divine power even delayed Tang San for several breaths.

Almost simultaneously, Xiao Wu activated her teleportation ability repeatedly, carefully holding the fragment of the soul in her hands, feeling the extremely familiar soul aura, and her eyes reddened.

Give me that thing!

Tang San's voice was incredibly cold. This fragment of his soul almost instantly destroyed the pure and innocent persona he had painstakingly built up over twenty-two years in the God Realm.

If the changes in his body after he stole the dragon's blood only made the gods of the divine realm subconsciously suspect him.

At this moment, everything in this fragment of memory almost tore apart the darkest, craziest, and most extreme parts of his heart.

How could this not infuriate Tang San?

"No, Third Brother, no."

For the first time, Xiao Wu's eyes showed a resolute determination towards Tang San. The next moment, the soul fragment flew backward and landed in the palm of the Goddess of Life.

The goddess of life trembled as she gently infused her divine power into the fragments of the soul, and the next moment, her body and mind were shaken.

She felt the blessing of life she had left on Xiaoqi.

That was the life force blessing she bestowed upon Tang Wutong by sacrificing one-tenth of her own life force, a life force blessing rooted deep within Tang Wutong's soul that no one could ever remove.

However, the Goddess of Life could also sense that this blessing was indeed only part of the whole. So, the other part must be in that girl named Wang Dong'er.

If that's the case, then everything Wang Dong'er said about what was emanating from this fragment of soul is absolutely true?

Seeing the extremely unpleasant expression on the Goddess of Life's face, Xiao Wu turned her head blankly and looked at Tang San.

"Third Brother, tell me, why did you tear Xiao Qi's soul apart?"

"You know, even Rongrong and Xiao Ao's Nine-Colored Resurrection Divine Light together cannot turn two souls back into one."

Tang San looked like a chicken with its throat gripped, his eyes wide open, unable to utter a word for a long time.

He stared intently at Xiao Wu, completely unexpected that the one who had rendered him speechless at this moment was Xiao Wu, whom he thought was always obedient and would never cause any problems.

"Because he wants to seize the destiny of our Star Dou Forest and steal my super artifact, the Golden Dragon Spear!"

The next moment, a girl with a slightly ethereal figure, who looked almost exactly like Wang Dong'er but had pure gold hair, appeared out of thin air. She held a golden spear in her hand and looked quite heroic.

Even Huo Yuhao was surprised. He subconsciously turned his head to look and discovered that the tenth spirit ring under Wang Dong'er's feet was actually rose gold in color.

"What? You're only allowed to be Uncle Ditian's spirit, but I can't be Xiaodong's spirit?"

Wang Qiu'er snorted coldly, gripping the Golden Dragon Spear, and glared at Tang San with murderous intent.

"Let me tell you why Tang San split Wang Dong's soul in two. Only in this way can he, with the help of Yu Hao, silently send this soul fragment into my spiritual sea."

"After all that's needed is a resurrection act, and then it'll be hard to say whether I'm the Emperor Beast of Star Dou Forest or your good daughter, Tang San."

As she spoke, Wang Qiu'er's hand holding the Golden Dragon Spear trembled slightly, her eyes filled with coldness.

"So what?"

Just then, Tang San snorted coldly: "That's right, you're all correct. I did indeed personally split Xiao Qi's soul in two, and I did indeed consider having Xiao Qi replace the Emperor Beast. But what wrong have I done?"

"Do you know that this Imperial Auspicious Beast, despite its name, is actually a truly evil soul beast? It feeds on beast brains and is even more evil than the Evil Soul Beast, the Demonic Orca King, and the Dark Demonic God Tiger that I defeated back then!"

"And this Imperial Beast actually possesses the Golden Dragon Spear, a super artifact formed from the rib of the Dragon God. If I don't take such a dangerous super artifact back to the God Realm, who knows what kind of disaster it will cause in the Douluo Continent."

"Auspicious beasts are said to have a limited lifespan, and they are bound to die sooner or later. Since that's the case, we might as well entrust everything to Xiao Qi."

"At that time, the human world will be spared a catastrophe, and my divine realm will gain a new super artifact. Xiao Qi will not only be able to obtain the fortune of the Star Dou Forest."

"Although the current result is slightly off, it doesn't matter. As long as we remove Wang Dong'er's soul consciousness and put Xiao Qi's soul fragment back in to fuse together, with my power of 'all rivers flowing into the sea,' Xiao Qi can still be resurrected."

"So, Goddess of Life, return Xiao Qi's soul fragments to me, and everything can proceed as normal!"
