Chapter 264: Tang San's Divine Consciousness
After pondering for a moment, Lin Qinghan separated a portion of his divine consciousness, infused it with a trace of awareness, and directed it toward the Sea God Trident mark on Wang Dong'er's forehead.

"Brother, is that Lin Qinghan exploring Dong'er's spiritual sea? Do you think he can manage it? That place still contains that person's divine consciousness."
Because Tang San had left behind some means through Niu Tian and Tai Tan, they could immediately sense the moment Lin Qinghan began probing Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea.
But they also understood that it was Lin Qinghan's doing—after all, he and Wang Dong'er had been in the same room all night and still hadn't come out.
"We can only rely on him now. But I think he must be confident. A genius like that wouldn't make a move unless he was sure of success."
Niu Tian looked calm as he responded, even though the Sea God's token in his hand flickered with light.

After a familiar sensation like star-shifting teleportation, Lin Qinghan's consciousness arrived at Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea.
Unlike the typical emptiness and starlit vastness of a soul master's spiritual sea, Wang Dong'er's was unique. Upon entry, Lin Qinghan discovered an illusory yet distinct palace.
Though the palace was small, it radiated extraordinary presence. And in front of it stood a golden trident.
"Who dares intrude into my daughter's spiritual sea?!"
Just as Lin Qinghan prepared to explore the palace, a booming voice echoed. A flash of golden light burst from the palace, and a man with long golden hair appeared—his body formed of condensed spiritual energy.
Lin Qinghan's eyes sharpened as he observed the figure.
The man's golden hair flowed down to his feet, and a blue trident mark gleamed on his forehead.
There was no doubt. The man before Lin Qinghan was Tang San, the god who had ascended ten thousand years ago—though what stood here was only a fragment of his spiritual consciousness.
"I should be asking who you are. What are you doing in Dong'er's spiritual sea?"
This was Lin Qinghan's first time seeing Tang San, though he looked much like the statue at Shrek Academy.
"I am Xiao Qi's father. Xiao Qi—well, that was my daughter's nickname. Now her name is Wang Dong'er. Boy, what's your relationship with her?"
Tang San's spiritual consciousness quickly detected Lin Qinghan's formidable strength. Though he asked calmly, he felt pressure mounting in his heart.
When had the Douluo Continent birthed such a powerful spiritual consciousness?
Based on his perception, Lin Qinghan's spiritual realm had reached the first-level god standard.
Though Tang San himself had only recently broken into the God King realm—and his mental power was still affected by the incompatible Asura God inheritance—he could still assess Lin Qinghan's level accurately.
But what made Tang San warier wasn't just Lin Qinghan's level—it was how complete his spiritual form was.
Because Lin Qinghan had separated his consciousness directly from his main body, and thanks to the properties of his infinite spiritual energy, what now stood in front of Tang San was essentially a fully-formed first-level god's soul.
Even though Tang San was a God King, this was just a spiritual fragment. Against a full soul at the first divine level, Tang San's current form barely qualified as resistance.
Of course, this was only Tang San's impression. If Lin Qinghan were to activate his divine martial soul, then even Tang San in full form would find it hard to dominate him in a spiritual confrontation.
"So, you claim to be Dong'er's father? Strange. I've never heard Dong'er mention having one. And you're clearly a god, aren't you?"
Lin Qinghan deliberately played dumb. He already knew full well that Tang San was connected to Wang Dong'er, but he had no intention of letting her accept that.
After all, Wang Dong'er was the result of Tang Wutong being used as fusion material by Tang San. They were enemies by origin—how could he accept Tang San calling himself her father?
"I don't care what you believe. I cannot reveal my true identity. But you—how did you get into Xiao Qi's spiritual sea?"
Tang San frowned. Lin Qinghan clearly didn't believe him, and as mere consciousness, he had no authority to act. For now, all he could do was probe with words.
"Dong'er is my partner, of course she has no defenses against me. But today, I sensed an abnormal spiritual force within her."
Lin Qinghan stayed composed. Though he was ready to strike, he hesitated—destroying this piece of Tang San's spiritual consciousness might cause a signal to be sent to the God Realm.
"You caused the disturbance in Dong'er before, didn't you? I don't care who you think you are. Whatever your purpose, I'm going to remove you now."
As he spoke, golden thunder flashed from Lin Qinghan's spiritual form. At the same time, he created a protective barrier to shield Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea.
A thunderous spiritual strike—imbued with the destructive power of a God King-level lightning element—rushed straight toward Tang San's consciousness.
"You dare attack me? I am—!"
Tang San tried to react. A golden trident materialized in his hand, but before he could even finish his sentence, Lin Qinghan's thunderous might shattered it.
Tang San's divine consciousness disintegrated within Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea.
What remained was a cluster of extremely high-level spiritual energy.
Lin Qinghan didn't absorb it.
Though it held the quality of a God King's energy, its quantity was minimal—about the same as an Extreme Douluo's total spiritual force. For Lin Qinghan, it wasn't even worth a few nights of cultivation.
But for Wang Dong'er, it was a rare treasure.
This spiritual energy would greatly accelerate her progress, possibly pushing her spiritual realm directly into the tangible and material stage—or even beyond.
