Chapter 2 — The Second Life! No Entry to the God Realm! Waiting Quietly for the Storm to Rise!
Ten thousand years later — Peerless Tang Sect!
The entire Douluo Continent had gradually fallen under Tang San's control. Meanwhile, deep within the Sun Moon Forest, Jiang Chen awakened, endured heavenly tribulation, and ascended to become a 100,000-year soul beast.
He concealed his aura, transformed into human form, and stayed by Huo Yuhao's side.
Yet even with all his manipulation, under Tang San's millennium-long plan, Huo Yun'er still died.
Huo Yuhao was consumed by grief and swore to avenge his mother.
Forced by circumstances, Jiang Chen changed strategies: he helped Huo Yuhao awaken Tianmeng, obtain Electrolux's guidance, and even deceive Tianmeng.
Perhaps they could break free from Tang San's control, allowing Huo Yuhao to create his own god position — and take Jiang Chen with him to divinity.
But Blue Silver Bind would not let Huo Yuhao go.
On his way to enroll at the beginner academy, Huo Yuhao met a delicate-looking young man with fair skin and short pink hair, who arrogantly said:
"Hello! I'm Wang Dong! You look so poor — follow me, and I'll make sure you live well!"
"From today on, you're my servant!"
Speechless, Huo Yuhao waited until nightfall and ran away.
While hunting for his second soul ring, he heard a crisp, cheerful female voice.
"Little brother, your grilled fish tastes amazing! Why not join our Tang Sect?"
"We were once the number one sect on the continent! If you join us, we'll give you a free recommendation to Shrek Academy!"
But under Jiang Chen's influence — and having witnessed his mother's "accidental" death — Huo Yuhao knew that a damned god was controlling his fate. He refused to live as a puppet.
Following Jiang Chen's and Electrolux's advice, he aimed to become a god on his own, possibly creating his own divine seat.
He politely refused and stayed far away from Shrek Academy, traveling across thousands of miles to join the Sun Moon Empire's Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
As the Continental Soul Master Tournament approached, the team was led by the "Holy Spirit Cult's Great Elder."
They trained the world's strongest Soul King — the "Messenger of Death."
In the original timeline, Shrek's team had one dead and six gravely injured. Without Huo Yuhao, it turned into six dead and one seriously injured.
Shrek Team fought desperately and placed second.
During the exchange program, Princess Wang transferred to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and reunited with Huo Yuhao.
In the God Realm—
Tang San noticed that the Child of Destiny possessed immense fortune—but his luck had nothing to do with the Tang Sect.
How could Tang San accept that?
"My 10,000-year plan shouldn't have gone wrong…"
When he became a god, Tang San spread his surveillance system across the entire Douluo Continent. Yet he missed one crucial thing: ten thousand years later, the other half of the world—the Sun Moon Continent—collided with Douluo.
The Sun Moon Continent lay outside his control, leaving him dependent on the Clear Sky Sect to monitor it.
For some reason, it felt like someone was secretly working against him.
Tang San rubbed his nose. Maybe he was overthinking.
His millennia-long plan could not fail.
The Child of Destiny had to remain under his grasp!
Now he was a God King, ruler of the God Realm's core. Even Destruction couldn't disobey him!
Watching the main storyline drift off course, Tang San shook his head.
He would have to deal with this personally.
What? Accountability from the God of Destruction?
Let him question all he wanted. Although Tang San's strength hadn't yet surpassed Destruction's, Destruction's wife stood with him.
No problem at all.
As a God King, the God Realm was his domain. Visiting the lower realm was trivial.
Still, for the sake of divine decorum, he didn't go personally—that would diminish his dignity.
Instead, Tang San forcibly drew Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, and the Spirit Beast into the God Realm to alter their souls.
"A powerful soul?"
Tang San frowned slightly as he sensed a foreign divine-level soul lingering within Huo Yuhao's mind.
He understood immediately.
"So, you're the one corrupting my Child of Destiny!"
He crushed Electrolux's soul with a flick of his hand.
To Tang San, a soul from another world was nothing but a fragmented remnant—worthless trash.
The Child of Destiny didn't need anyone else. Having Tang San was blessing enough.
And daring to corrupt his chosen one, delaying his grand plan—unforgivable!
In the Valley of Tender Feelings, the altered Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, and Wang Qiuer were thrown together.
From the light screen came a calm voice: "Between Dong'er and Qiuer, only one may live. What is your choice?"
Huo Yuhao shouted, "No! I can't choose!"
Feeling Wang Dong'er's life slipping away, Huo Yuhao cried uncontrollably. His spirit collapsed, and all his faith shattered.
As he fainted, he murmured unconsciously, "Sorry, Brother Chen… I still couldn't do it…"
Jiang Chen: "?"
Inside Mingde Hall, Jiang Chen had been helping Huo Yuhao with studies on soul armor when Huo Yuhao suddenly vanished into thin air.
"Damn it! Stupid Tang San!"
"Son of a—!"
The newest novel release had barely started!
"Can't play fair at all!"
Jiang Chen never imagined Tang San would stoop so low—directly interfering with the mortal realm!
Damn!
He was speechless with frustration.
His plan to help Huo Yuhao create his divine seat was now entirely ruined. Thankfully, he hadn't fused himself as Huo Yuhao's soul spirit.
Otherwise, once dragged to the God Realm, he'd have become Tang San's dog.
Damn it!
Douluo II was even more hopeless than Douluo I!
A soul beast protagonist—no system, no hope at all. The worst start imaginable.
Sensing that Huo Yuhao had reverted to the original storyline, Jiang Chen knew it was time to leave. He fled swiftly.
Low profile, low profile, and even lower profile.
Now that Tang San had become a God King, there was no way Jiang Chen could resist.
Would the God of Destruction ever give him a divine seat just to oppose Tang San?
Impossible.
If he showed up before the Destruction God King, he'd probably be cut down instantly.
Besides, that useless Destruction Deity couldn't even keep his wife faithful or his subordinates loyal.
Clearly not someone Jiang Chen could rely on.
The story of Peerless Tang Sect continued:
Mingdu exploded!
Wang Qiuer sacrificed herself for Huo Yuhao!
Tang Wutong awakened and fell in love with him!
Huo Yuhao led the Tang Sect's rise!
Tang Wutong unleashed her ninth soul skill, Sea God's Descent, stopping the war and bringing peace to the continent!
The Ice God Douluo, Huo Yuhao, ascended to the God Realm, leaving his queen and prince behind in the mortal world.
In the God Realm—
Tang San watched with satisfaction as Dai Yuhao inherited the divinity of Emotion. He patted his shoulder firmly.
"You're my son-in-law now. Treat Xiao Qi well. If I ever hear she's been wronged, I will never forgive you!"
The Douluo Continent continued to turn as outlined in Tang San's 10,000-year plan.
One day in the God Realm equals one year in Douluo.
Jiang Chen kept running.
Spirit Transmission Tower. Mingde Hall. Star Dou Forest.
When Huo Yuhao ascended, Tang San loosened his surveillance slightly.
After all, without his permission, no new gods could appear.
Douluo Continent had fallen completely under his dominion.
Jiang Chen swore — one day, he'd make Tang San pay!
The era swept away by the God Realm's turbulence — the Douluo III age — would be his era.
I wait.
The second life — no entry to the God Realm! Waiting quietly for the storm to rise!
