Tang San nodded, sighed softly, and said, "One day in the Divine Realm equates to a year in the mortal world. More than twenty years have passed in the Divine Realm now, and in Soul Land, ten thousand years have elapsed."
"And with these ten thousand years of changes, Soul Land has become somewhat chaotic. Especially the continental collision that occurred due to tectonic changes over four thousand years ago not only doubled the size of the Douluo Continent but also brought many uncertainties. The Tang Sect that I founded with all my efforts has withered."
Xiaowu said, "Third brother, don't think too much about it. In a way, the decline of Tang Sect is also because the era and plane have progressed."
Tang San nodded, "You're right, but Tang Sect is my creation after all, and I can't bear to let it vanish like that. Moreover, as a Law Enforcer of the Divine Realm, I cannot interfere with the changes in a plane."
"However, it seems that a new star has emerged in Soul Land recently, and it is deeply connected with our Tang Sect. I tried to see his fate, but it is shrouded in fog. I hope everything is moving in a good direction."
Xiaowu flashed a smile, her delicate body rubbing against Tang San's arm, "Then you should be even more at ease, our Tang Sect will definitely flourish again."
"I believe this person was born to save Tang Sect."
"Haha, if only it were so," Tang San said with a smile emerging on his face after Xiaowu's words.
In fact, that's what he thought as well.
However,
at the next moment, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
Xiaowu immediately noticed the change in Tang San's expression, her face turned pale, "Third brother, what's wrong?"
'Huff, huff…'
Tang San's expression became hideous, he was gasping for breath, enraged to the extreme, "The connection between that new star, born of fate, and our Tang Sect has been severed."
"What!" Xiaowu's face turned pale instantly, "What should we do?"
Tang San was obviously pondering over a countermeasure, and after a long while, he calmed down, "Xiao Qi always shows great interest whenever we discuss issues related to the Douluo Continent."
"Why not let her go to the Douluo Continent to find that new star and re-establish the connection with the new star for me."
"No matter what, we must control this variable in our hands."
Xiaowu hesitated, "What if it cannot be controlled?"
Tang San replied with an icy tone, "Then it must be destroyed. Whoever dares to disrupt my plans has chosen the path of death!"
...
Elsewhere.
After several days of effort, Huo Yuhao finally arrived at the Aquipeia Forest.
His feelings were complex.
Nervous, excited, and even a bit of anticipation.
Just thinking about becoming a Soul Ring and thus a true Soul Master made him feel his blood boiling.
More than five years.
I have been waiting for this day for more than five years!
Huo Yuhao was shouting inwardly, moving forward relentlessly.
Suddenly,
a somewhat strange feeling emerged in his mind. Huo Yuhao felt a slight stinging in his eyes and subconsciously channeled his Soul Power into his spirit eyes.
At that moment, Huo Yuhao felt as if the world became clearer. He could see a shadow flash by to his left side.
A sense of crisis overcame him instantaneously.
At the same time, his body had already reacted immediately, quickly falling to the left side, while his right hand swiftly drew the White Tiger Dagger from behind his waist.
Whoosh!
A shadow passed him by, landing not far away. Huo Yuhao rolled, getting up from the ground, and he saw the true face of that figure.
It was a Feng Baboon over a meter tall, with brownish-yellow fur, brown eyes, and remarkably long arms with nails sharp as knives.
The Feng Baboon, frustrated from its failed strike, bared its teeth at Huo Yuhao, pushing off with its hind legs, attacking once more.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao quickly retreated, lifting the White Tiger Dagger to his chest.
The baboon, having missed with two strikes, was enraged and suddenly sprayed a beam of white light at Huo Yuhao. At the same time it launched the white light, the baboon charged towards Huo Yuhao with incredible speed.
Huo Yuhao panicked, his mind went blank. Where had he ever seen such an imposing sight? He could only instinctively lift the White Tiger Dagger in his right hand, and the white light collided straight with it.
The white light dissipated upon meeting the White Tiger Dagger, but the Feng Baboon's sharp claws had already grabbed Huo Yuhao's shoulders.
Normally, what would follow would be Huo Yuhao, the child of destiny, unintentionally activating the White Tiger Dagger to slay the Feng Baboon.
But in the next moment, an anomaly happened.
Huo Yuhao saw a light descending from the sky, causing another momentary lapse of attention.
Was this also one of Feng Baboon's soul skills?
An attack falling from the sky?
However, it was this moment of distraction that caused the White Tiger Dagger in his hands to deviate, though it still struck the chest of the Feng Baboon and did not kill it instantly, only severely wounding the creature.
This in turn provoked the ferocity of the Feng Baboon, as its razor-like claws stabbed straight into Huo Yuhao's heart, and when the claws were withdrawn from his chest, blood spurted out.
Thump, thump.
Huo Yuhao and Feng Baboon both fell to the ground.
It turned out to be a situation where both parties were injured...
Huo Yuhao's vision blurred.
It was as if he saw that gentle figure that would only appear in his dreams.
Mom, have you come to take me away?
It's alright, I've had enough of the sufferings of this world.
As a final smile spread across his lips, the native son of fortune of Soul Land fell...
Meanwhile.
A streak of light from high above descended.
"I didn't expect to find a suitable vessel upon landing."
Qin Xiao's Divine Soul hesitated no longer and entered Huo Yuhao's body.
This also protected his Divine Soul, which was like a flickering candle in the wind, no longer having to worry about being extinguished.
It was like an oil lamp on the verge of going out had been refilled with oil.
And the Heart of the Dragon God at the core of Qin Xiao's Divine Soul also released the last of its strength to heal Huo Yuhao's body.
Merely after a few breaths, Huo Yuhao's injuries had healed. Thump, thump, thump, his heart started beating strongly once more.
"This body is really weak... to think it couldn't even defeat a Feng Baboon."
Qin Xiao sat up, shaking his head involuntarily.
Wait a second.
Feng Baboon!
Qin Xiao suddenly realized something and glanced at the dagger that had fallen to the side.
He couldn't help but curse... Fuck!
"Could it be that I've taken over Huo Yuhao's body?"
As he thought this, memories of the body's original owner instantly flashed through Qin Xiao's mind.
Qin Xiao was thoroughly dumbfounded.
Would you believe it?
He had actually become Huo Yuhao!
He had transmigrated to a parallel universe, becoming Huo Yuhao!
And the cause of Huo Yuhao's death was because his own arrival from the sky distracted Huo Yuhao...
"This is just too ridiculous..."
It took quite a while for Qin Xiao to accept this fact, smacking his lips in disbelief.
Huo Yuhao, he knew all too well.
He had been pua'd from the Soul Land world to the Divine Realm by Tang San.
In front of others, his identity shone brightly, the son-in-law of the Saint Tang.
But in reality?
Just a tool, that's all.
How long had he been with Tang Wutong? Yet they hadn't even had a child.
To put it nicely, he was the Saint Tang's son-in-law, but in reality...
He might well be a person, but his life was hardly better than a dog's.
"Of course, in another space-time, this wouldn't be a problem. With me in charge, killing Saint Tang wouldn't be difficult."
"However, here, I can't afford to be high-profile just yet. Traveling through the chaotic space-time current has severely depleted my Divine Soul power, and on top of that, this body is too weak, not even possessing one ten-thousandth of my original fighting capabilities."
"This body needs some time to adapt before it can begin absorbing the power of the God Position of Destruction... And to absorb the God Position of Destruction quickly, I can't even practice the Lei Emperor's Art, lest the two powers reject each other."
The more he thought about it, the tighter Qin Xiao's brow furrowed.
The current situation was quite unclear.
"To sum it up, what I need to do right now is one word, 'lay low!'"
"And I need to avoid getting entangled in cause and effect with Saint Tang, so as not to be discovered by Tang San."
"So it goes without saying, I definitely can't go to Shrek, as coming into contact with Tang Wutong means contacting Tang San. Then the father and daughter would stick to me like a plaster that can't be shaken off..."
"For the freedom to grow, the first step is to refuse Tang Wutong. Let the Hao Dong Power go to hell.
Oh, and that embarrassing Hao Dong Triple Strike, let it roll as far away as possible."
