"Your own son has been taken over, and you can still be so happy, so excited. Tang Hao, you really are nothing but a beast," Xiao Wu said disdainfully.
Tang Hao had no way to refute her words — he didn't even know how to.
The vision continued.
Tang Hao was plotting the same scene from his past life — being hunted by Spirit Hall, forcing Ah Yin to sacrifice herself for him. But this time, he still had doubts about whether things would go as he hoped.
In my previous life, Ah Yin sacrificed herself for me because she loved me deeply. But this time, Ah Yin hates me so much… will she really sacrifice herself for me in the end?
Then, Tang Hao looked toward his child and said:
"Ah Yin may hate me, but she can't hate Xiao San too. For Xiao San's sake, she should still be willing to sacrifice. After all, only I can take Xiao San and break out of Spirit Hall's siege."
This scene struck Tang San with another devastating mental blow.
Xiao Wu seized the chance to drive the knife deeper:
"Do you see, little vermin? This is your beloved father. Knowing Spirit Hall's pursuit is coming, he doesn't think about how to escape with his wife and son. Instead, he's plotting to use you and the enemy's chase as leverage to seize your mother's spirit ring and spirit bone."
Tang San could no longer focus. His thoughts were in chaos — his mother had ultimately sacrificed herself to Tang Xiao, his father's ninth spirit ring came from Xiao Wu's mother… What really happened back then? What truly happened?!
Soon, the scene shifted again. Tang Hao's place of hiding was discovered — not by Spirit Hall, as he had expected, but by the people of the Clear Sky Sect, led by Tang Kai.
Tang Hao was forced to seriously wound Tang Kai and flee with Ah Yin and the young Tang San.
To draw Spirit Hall's attention away, Tang Hao destroyed Spirit Hall's properties repeatedly, trying to force them to chase him.
But to his surprise, the pursuit from his sect came faster than that of Spirit Hall.
The sect wanted to capture Ah Yin and kill the beast-born Tang San in order to cover up the shame of the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Hao was faced with a terrible choice:
Obey the sect's orders and sacrifice his wife and son to them, or fight his own sect to protect his family.
He chose to resist. At Tian Gu Ridge, Tang Hao slaughtered countless sect members, their blood staining the mountains.
Tang San felt little emotion watching this part — he had never felt any real affection for the Clear Sky Sect.
In the vision, after killing his fellow sect members, Tang Hao was in great pain. He pinned all his hopes on Tang San becoming a god in the future, so he could revive the slain sect members and wash away his sins.
Xiao Wu sneered:
"Hahahaha, little vermin, your father is laughable! He committed such monstrous sins, and yet he expects you to become a god to wipe his ass clean. In the end, you're nothing but his tool."
"Father, you…" Tang San looked at Tang Hao, his image of his father collapsing further.
"Xiao… Xiao San, I'm sorry. I never meant it that way, I just…" Tang Hao lowered his head, not daring to meet his son's eyes.
The vision continued.
Tang Hao tried to flee Tian Gu Ridge with Ah Yin, only to be intercepted by Tang Tian.
Knowing she had no escape, Ah Yin begged Tang Hao to protect Tang San, then activated her Sacrifice Domain. Tang Hao was about to receive her spirit ring and spirit bone as he wished.
But then Tang Xiao suddenly appeared, wheeled in like an unexpected calamity. His presence caused Ah Yin to change her sacrifice target — the spirit ring and bone meant for Tang Hao were given to Tang Xiao instead.
Outside the sacrificial domain, Tang Hao let out a broken, despairing roar like a maddened ape.
"Hah! What a joke," Xiao Wu mocked. "You used your son, schemed for your wife's spirit ring and spirit bone, even carried the blood-debt of slaughtering your fellow sect members — and in the end, the spirit ring fell into the hands of the brother you hate most!"
This moment was seared into Tang Hao's soul as an eternal scar.
The vision moved to its conclusion.
With Ah Yin's sacrifice, Tang Xiao's body was healed, and he became a Titled Douluo. Filled with hatred, he fought Tang Hao in a heaven-shaking battle, but still lost against Tang Hao's Asura God–empowered strength. Tang Xiao was crippled once again.
Tang Hao, full of hatred, tried to kill Tang Xiao outright. But when his hammer fell, the one he killed was Tang Tian, not Tang Xiao.
Thus, Tang Hao achieved the infamous deed of patricide.
And with that, he conveniently pushed the sin onto Tang San:
"As long as Xiao San becomes a god in the future, he can revive you all and erase the sins I've committed."
Outside the vision, Tang Hao looked nervously at Tang San.
"Xiao San, I…"
"Father, don't say anything. I need to be alone." Tang San no longer knew how to face his father.
Truth Revelation Three: The Stolen Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline!
The vision shifted again.
Tang San saw his past self, following memories from his previous life, traveling to the Blue Silver Forest.
Back then, though he hadn't yet awakened the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline's handsome traits, he was still a spirited young man. Not like now — dark-skinned, short, ugly, with long arms, short legs, and warped body proportions.
Watching this, Tang San was filled with nostalgia for his brighter days. Why… why have I fallen to such a state?
The stolen Blue Silver Emperor bloodline? Could there be something hidden behind it? Tang San frowned.
He clearly remembered this part of his life — but now the vision revealed details he had never noticed.
He was obviously the son of the Blue Silver Emperor, yet the entire Blue Silver Forest rejected him.
At the Blue Silver Altar, he attempted to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, only to be told the Blue Silver Emperor already existed.
Outraged, he believed the Blue Silver King had usurped his position. Immediately, he forced the Blue Silver King to sacrifice to him.
The vision shifted again — to another corner of the forest. The Blue Silver King was kneeling in deference before the true Blue Silver Emperor.
When Tang San and Tang Hao saw the figure, they were both stunned.
"Ah Yin…"
"Mother…"
In the vision, Ah Yin's eyes sharpened. She summoned Blue Silver vines that wrapped tightly around Tang San from all directions.
"Now, I will take back what does not belong to you. Get out of the Blue Silver Forest, and never set foot here again."
With those words, Ah Yin used her technique to strip away Tang San's bloodline.
Poor Tang San — after entering the Blue Silver Forest, he not only failed to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, but also had his bloodline taken away. He lost the superior traits of the Blue Silver Emperor, and his body regressed into a dark-skinned, long-armed, short-legged ape-like form.
Ah Yin reclaimed her bloodline, and as she felt the power return, she sneered wickedly:
"Tang Hao, you beast. You schemed endlessly for my spirit ring, my spirit bone, my bloodline, my Blue Silver Emperor throne. Now, I will take them all back, one by one. Then I'll destroy every hope you hold dear, and let you, this shameless wretch, taste the true despair you deserve."
The scene before him shattered Tang San completely.
All this time, he had believed that the Blue Silver King had usurped his position as the Blue Silver Emperor, stealing his bloodline and leaving him in this half-human, half-ghost state.
But now—he was being told that the one who took his bloodline was his own mother. How could Tang San possibly accept that?
If this was the truth, then wasn't all of his hatred up until now nothing more than a cruel joke?
"This is fake, it has to be fake!" Tang San roared.
Beside him, Tang Hao was in a daze: "Ah Yin, you're still alive… you actually survived and returned to the Blue Silver Forest… no, this can't be true."
Xiao Wu sneered:
"How long do you two plan on deceiving yourselves? Hey, little brat, think about it carefully. In the Blue Silver Forest, she only took your bloodline—why didn't she kill you outright?"
Tang San froze, then began to think.
Yes—why only take his bloodline and not his life? If she was truly his enemy, or a political rival, wouldn't it have made more sense to leave him dead in that forest forever?
The only explanation was that Ah Yin was indeed his mother. Even if she hated him, when it came time to truly kill him, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Tang San's legs gave out. He collapsed to his knees, sobbing in grief:
"Mother… do you not love me anymore?"
"That's the point, little brat," Xiao Wu mocked. "Do you know why you lost your Blue Silver Emperor bloodline? Because your mother hated you. And why did she hate you? Because in her eyes, your very birth was a mistake. You are Tang Hao's son. Your existence is her stain."
"But it didn't have to be this way. You could have been Tang Xiao's son. If Ah Yin had been with Tang Xiao instead, and you had taken over the child they conceived, would you have ended up like this? Your father Tang Xiao would have cherished you, your mother Ah Yin would have adored you, your Blue Silver Emperor bloodline would have remained intact, maybe even awakening as a Blue Silver Emperor martial soul.
"So why did you fall into this state? Because you are Tang Hao's son. That is the original sin you were born with."
At those words, Tang Hao broke into a sweat. He pointed a trembling finger at Xiao Wu and shouted:
"Xiao Wu, you slut, don't you dare sow discord between me and my son! Tang San is my child. Since when was he ever that bastard Tang Xiao's son?"
Xiao Wu retorted with disdain:
"Am I wrong? The little brat was chosen by the God of Asura. Ah Yin was chosen as the vessel. No matter which of you brothers she loved, the child she bore would eventually be taken over and become this little brat. But Ah Yin loved Tang Xiao. Tang San's father should have been Tang Xiao. Why did it end up being you?
Because you knew what it meant to be Ah Yin's man—you wanted to be master of the plane, the father of a God King. Out of selfish greed, you tore Ah Yin away from Tang Xiao and forcibly claimed her. And so, when the little brat was born, he had only a mother who hated him and a father who used him. It's you, dead rat—you beast—that caused everything Tang San is suffering now."
"You—you—you slut—" Tang Hao pointed at Xiao Wu, stammering, unable to refute her words.
"Enough!" Tang San roared in rage.
Tang Hao looked at his son. From Tang San's eyes, he saw blame—accusation—and his heart ached.
At that moment, Tang San was in unbearable torment. In his previous life, Tang Hao had been his father, with whom he shared tens of thousands of years in the lower realm, deeply bonded as father and son. In this new life, when choosing a father, Tang San naturally wished for Tang Hao, not Tang Xiao.
But now, with the truth revealed, his father's past actions had brought only hatred from his mother and Xiao Wu. Tang San's faith wavered.
And Xiao Wu's words rang endlessly in his mind: Because you are Tang Hao's son. That is the original sin you were born with.
A heavy silence fell among the three of them. And then, the fourth revelation began.
"Truth Reveal Four: The Death of Ah Rou."
The vision shifted. Tang Hao left little Tang San with Old Jack, preparing to search for his ninth spirit ring.
He thought to himself:
"I've waited for Ah Yin's ninth spirit ring for years, but in the end, she never sacrificed herself to me. Looks like I'll have to find one on my own. As the future master of a plane, how could I possibly settle for a mere ten-thousand-year ring? No, I must find a hundred-thousand-year one."
So Tang Hao sought out Titan of the Strength Clan, planning to use the clan as cannon fodder to distract a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, allowing him to claim its ring.
Titan, just as loyal as in the previous life, agreed without hesitation. Together, they headed toward the Star Dou Forest. But on the way, in Coconut Grove City, Tang Hao encountered a woman—one who bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Wu.
"Mother—" At the sight of her mother once again, Xiao Wu's eyes turned red, tears streaming uncontrollably.
"She is… Xiao Wu's mother?" Tang San immediately understood what was about to unfold, and guilt welled within him. Tang Hao, meanwhile, shrank back, trying to lessen his presence.
In the vision, Tang Hao's eyes flashed with greed the instant he saw the woman.
"Hahaha! Even heaven favors my Tang Clan. Another hundred-thousand-year spirit beast in human form has fallen into my lap. What luck!"
But Ah Rou had no idea of the covetous gaze upon her. At that moment, she was on a date with a man named Wang Dafu.
By Coconut Grove Lake, Ah Rou stood with her back to him, gazing at the shimmering surface. Lanterns floated into the sky, their reflections dancing on the water.
"Do you really love me?" Ah Rou asked softly. "Would you give everything for me?"
"Yes," Wang Dafu answered, staring dreamily at her silhouette.
"And if one day many people wanted to kill me, and you couldn't defeat them… what would you do?"
Wang Dafu's voice was firm: "Then let them step over my corpse first."
Ah Rou turned around, her long hair swaying in the breeze. She looked at Wang Dafu's plump face and said gently:
"Dafu, you're so good to me."
"…Wait a second." Tang San's eyes widened in shock.
Why does this sound so familiar? Isn't this exactly the same romantic confession I made to Xiao Wu in my previous life?!
