Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

"Grandpa, we might become rivals in love."

"..."

Qian Daoliu was completely bewildered, not understanding what this kid meant.

What do you mean by "we might become rivals in love"?

"You mean Xixi?"

He quickly realized what was happening, his eyes widened, and upon seeing someone nod, he immediately launched a vicious attack.

"Can't you leave me anything? I've been single for years, don't you know that...?"

Grabbing someone by the neck and shaking them violently, Qian Daoliu's mentality was starting to break down.

After all, he had truly loved Poseidon back then, and she was the only woman he had ever loved in his life.

He never truly loved his former wife; his marriage in his youth was mainly to pass on the bloodline of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

He had previously fantasized about confessing his love and proposing to Poseidon again after the God-Slaying Plan succeeded and the Spirit Hall unified the plane, but who would have thought that this kid would beat him to it now.

Can't you just be a decent human being?

"This is not my fault. It was the Sea God's divine will that coveted my Sea-Stabilizing Spear and wanted to bring me and Xixi together so that we could have a powerful offspring to inherit the Sea God's position. I was forced into it."

Tian Hao decisively shifted the blame to the Sea God's Divine Thought, claiming that he was innocent, forced, and a victim.

"Poseidon!"

Qian Daoliu gritted his teeth upon hearing this, hating that Sea God's Divine Thought to the core.

"You've been on Poseidon Island for so long, has Xixi ever mentioned me?"

After a moment of resentment, Qian Daoliu suddenly calmed down and asked with a hint of hope.

He wanted to know if Poseidon had any feelings for him, even just a little.

"Grandpa, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Tian Hao responded tactfully, not wanting to discourage the elderly man.

Although Poseidon mentioned Qian Daoliu when they were on Poseidon Island, it was only when she was talking about Tang Chen. Clearly, in Poseidon's heart, there was only Tang Chen and no place for Qian Daoliu at all.

Over the years, my great-grandfather has only had a one-sided crush; you could call him a simp.

It's really quite pitiful.

Qian Daoliu was a smart man and understood the meaning behind his grandson-in-law's words. He looked up at the sky speechlessly, and finally his expression turned fierce as he said, "I must marry Xixi and absolutely cannot let her be with Tang Chen!"

He had completely lost to Tang Chen, but he absolutely could not let Tang Chen get away with it. Even if Xixi did not choose him, he absolutely could not let that guy Tang Chen succeed.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely marry Xixi."

With a solemn guarantee, Tian Hao was determined to get Poseidon, and with the help of the Asura God, the Sea God, and the Tang God King, he had no worries about not being able to seduce that centenarian aunt.

At the same time, she secretly thought about finding a companion for her great-grandfather. Aunt Xixi was definitely out of the question, which left only Tang Chen.

If we have the chance, we can extract Tang Chen's consciousness and reshape it into a female body. I believe Grandpa will be very interested. This will also make Aunt Xixi give up completely. It's a win-win situation.

Qian Daoliu was unaware of the evil thoughts in someone's heart; otherwise, he would definitely be so angry that he would vomit blood.

He was thinking about his old rival, one of the few obsessions he had in his life, and he was determined to defeat him.

"What's going on with that little rabbit? Is the spirit beasts plotting something?"

Suddenly remembering something, Qian Daoliu's expression turned serious.

Ever since it was learned that A-Wu's daughter had transformed into a human and entered the human world, and had even gotten together with the successor chosen by the Asura God, people couldn't help but have many thoughts.

Did the soul beasts secretly make some kind of deal with the gods of the divine realm?

"That little rabbit mistakenly believed that we killed the Jade Rabbit Emperor and Sister A-Wu, and hated our Spirit Hall. It also believed that the ferocious beasts such as Di Tian gave up revenge in order to maintain their cooperation with us. Under its obsession, it secretly transformed into a human and infiltrated our human world."

However, Di Tian and the others must have known about this matter, but they did not stop it. They must have their own plans. It's enough to keep an eye on this matter; there's no need to make a big fuss, lest we alert them.

The spirit beasts don't trust us, but have we ever trusted them?

With a cold laugh, Tian Hao guessed that Di Tian must have been involved after obtaining Xiao Wu's memories, but he couldn't figure out what kind of scheme Di Tian had.

This is also the main reason why he didn't tell A-Wu about Xiao-Wu's situation.

"Hopefully they'll actually be a little smarter."

With a cold glint in his eyes, Qian Daoliu had never trusted the soul beasts. Just as his grandson-in-law had once said, "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts, unless they are married into our family."

If the soul beasts are truly dishonest, they wouldn't mind eliminating them in the future.

In any case, their latest cultivation system can already construct soul rings on its own, so they don't need the soul rings and soul bones of soul beasts. Even if they wipe out the soul beasts, it won't have much of an impact.

"There's something else. I had the chance to fight Tang Hao. According to the God of Slaughter's memories, his divine power should have originated from the Hercules under the command of the God of Destruction."

Changing his mind, Qian Daoliu brought up another matter.

"Hercules? Asura God is impressive!"

Tian Hao was taken aback, then laughed, marveling that the Asura God truly lived up to his name, managing to scheme for the position of a general under the God of Destruction. He was indeed worthy of being a being of the same lineage as the God of Tang.

The future God King Tang secretly won over Zhou Weiqing, the second-generation Hercules, while the God of Asura plotted against the first-generation Hercules. It's really interesting.

"Hercules is definitely a loyal confidant of the God of Destruction. If he knew about the great plans of the God of Asura in this plane, he would definitely report to the God of Destruction."

The Asura God must know this too. I guess he would never let Tang Chen show himself in front of Tang Hao, at least not before Tang Hao inherits the position of the Mighty God.

This is also our opportunity.

Hercules is not a deity who ascended from our plane. As a first-level god, the requirements for the successor to inherit the divine position are much higher, especially when there is no guardian to sacrifice.

At that time, he might descend with divine power to assist in the succession of the divine position. We'll keep an eye on that time, and after the Hercules passes on the divine position but hasn't returned to the divine realm, we'll confront Tang Hao and, while we're at it, reveal the truth about Sister Yin's matter..."

With a quick thought, Tian Hao soon came up with a brief plan.

He had been thinking about how to get in touch with the God of Destruction and lure that person into disrupting the God of Asura's plans, so that the two sides would be locked in a standoff, allowing them to better fish in troubled waters.

Unexpectedly, a godsend came to Tang Hao, and the God of Destruction actually helped him inherit the position of God of Destruction. What a kind person!

“We will keep an eye on this matter. Once he becomes a god, the impact will be enormous.”

Sendou Ryu had a similar idea, and this was indeed a good opportunity.

"Hercules, also known as the God of Destruction, has a power nature very similar to that of the God of Destruction. With his main artifact integrated into it, your Haotian Divine Sword has the potential to evolve into a super artifact."

Thinking of Hercules' main artifact, Qian Daoliu also thought that it would be a good match for the Haotian Hammer, and even better for his grandson-in-law's Haotian Divine Sword.

"Xue'er has grown up a lot. Go visit her when you have time."

Suddenly mentioning his beloved granddaughter, Qian Daoliu was very dissatisfied, expressing his dissatisfaction with his granddaughter's husband.

He proposed this marriage, but this guy has never been close to Xue'er, who is your fiancée.

"We don't have time, and Xue'er was too young before."

Tian Hao gave an awkward response, but felt even more embarrassed inside.

He genuinely dared not have any romantic feelings for Qian Renxue, otherwise his elder sister Qian Ruyi would definitely hang him up and beat him.

He couldn't reveal his affair with Qian Ruyi for the time being, fearing that his great-grandfather wouldn't accept it, so he could only put it off for now.

"Tang Chen already has great-grandchildren, while I don't even have a glimpse of one. You'd better work harder, kid."

Qian Daoliu was somewhat disappointed in Tang Chen, who had once again outdone him in this area, which was truly infuriating.

"In the end, it was Tang Chen who caused all this trouble. Your ties are really deep."

He couldn't help but complain that Tian Hao really didn't understand this kind of bond, even though in the original work, when Qian Daoliu sacrificed himself, all he could think of was Tang Chen.

That's a deep love!

After chatting with Qian Daoliu for a while, Tian Hao spent a month in Wuhun City before being led by Qingluan Douluo to the Star Luo Empire from the sky, where he also reviewed information about Tang San.

It has been two years since Tang Shenwang enrolled in school. Tang Shenwang is now eight years and four months old, and there are less than six years left until he turns fourteen. Only then will all the plans officially begin to run.

The success of the God-Slaying Plan hinges on Tang Shenwang; his failure is not an option.

The Azure Phoenix Douluo flew very fast and arrived at its destination, the Black Tiger Sect, on the same day.

That's right, it is one of the new seven major sects in the original destiny trajectory, and it is ranked third, second only to the Elephant Armor Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect.

They stopped on the back mountain of the Black Tiger Sect, and Azure Phoenix Douluo took out a code bug and used his soul power to stimulate it to awaken and transmit a signal.

Not long after, a burly figure silently trotted over, concealed by the shadows of the trees.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Azure Phoenix."

The burly man ran over and bowed respectfully. The man was none other than Wang Hu, the sect leader of the Black Tiger Sect.

It's a very simple name, but the person is anything but. His soul power level has reached level 98, and he's only one step away from level 99.

The reason why it could improve so quickly was not only due to the blessing of the divine power, but also, most importantly, the many secret techniques secretly taught by the Spirit Hall.

Because the Black Tiger Sect had secretly allied itself with the Spirit Hall a long time ago, even earlier than the Holy Dragon Sect, it was considered one of their own.

The Spirit Hall has never been stingy with its own people, which has made the Black Tiger Sect's leader even more loyal.

Qingluan Douluo nodded without saying a word. He didn't like dealing with these things, and besides, this time it was his grandson who was in charge.

"Sect Leader Wang, I read your Black Tiger Sect's information before I came. We have no doubt about your loyalty, but we are not very satisfied with your ability to handle affairs."

According to the intelligence we have received, twelve of the fourteen elders of your Black Tiger Sect are secretly in contact with other forces, including some from the Star Luo Royal Family.

This complicated situation makes it hard for us to believe in your abilities.

After sizing up the Black Tiger Sect Master in front of him, Tian Hao couldn't help but complain that he really couldn't understand the complicated situation inside the Black Tiger Sect.

Those people have too many complicated thoughts. Twelve of the fourteen titled Douluo elders have their own ulterior motives. The remaining two are Wang Hu's father and his younger brother, respectively, so they can be considered as his own people.

In other words, within the vast Black Tiger Sect, only Wang Hu and his two sons truly belonged to their Spirit Hall, making them not much stronger than the Holy Dragon Sect was back then.

"I implore Your Majesty to grant my people a new life."

Wang Hu had anticipated being asked about this matter, and with a determined effort, he bowed again and made his request.

The Spirit Hall had already discussed this matter with him earlier and proposed several solutions.

Over the years, he had been trying those plans, but unfortunately, his own abilities were limited. Instead of unifying the sect, he made things more and more chaotic. Now he could only use the last plan.

He would kill those clansmen once, and then let the Spirit Hall give them a new life. Although their memories would be partially altered, at least they would still be alive. This was his bottom line.

"This medicine will evaporate on its own, and it is colorless and odorless. Even a peak Douluo will fall into a deep sleep if he inhales too much of it. Summon the people who need to be modified for a meeting, and leave the rest to us."
