The young man named Tang Shan suddenly sat up from his afternoon rest. A small flicker of confusion crossed his eyes as he looked around the room. However, in the very next second, his eyes filled with a bright blue-gold light. His original memories and his soul were forcibly erased. Then, a massive amount of new memories were pushed into his mind with great force. His physical body was still that of Tang Shan, but his personality and his consciousness were now completely taken over by a powerful Divine Sense.
Tang Shan, who was now actually Tang San, let a wide smile spread across his face. He looked happy, and his face beamed with a joy that he could not control. He had finally succeeded in his plan. The God of Destruction and the other God Kings had taken away his authority. They had tried to stop him from watching the Douluo Plane directly. But in the end, he had found a clever way around them.
That way was through his Divine Sense. Originally, this Divine Sense was supposed to stay inside the spiritual world of Da Ming and Er Ming. He had worried that the God of Destruction might find them. If that happened, Da Ming and Er Ming might accidentally reveal his secrets. To prevent this, he had removed these two bits of Divine Sense. As it turned out, he had made the right choice to move them.
He really did not understand why Da Ming and Er Ming were so useless. Their task was just to kill the Son of the Plane, yet they had failed at such a simple mission. But luckily, things had changed for the better. Now, everything was under his control once again. Tang San sat up straight and tried to calm his mind and his energy. He sat cross-legged on the bed and looked deep into his own spiritual sea.
In that inner space, a golden trident symbol floated quietly. It gave off a special feeling that only belongs to a Divinity. It was a God's Trial. Specifically, it was the Sea God's Trial. This was not a trial he had created himself just now.
Instead, it was a special system left behind by the former Sea God, Poseidon. It was part of the Sea God Pillars on Sea God Island from ten thousand years ago. Those pillars were made to give trials to worthy people.
Ten thousand years ago, before he went to the higher world, he had destroyed all those Sea God Pillars. But the power inside them that gives trials was not destroyed. He had hidden that power inside the Clear Sky Sect.
He never intended to use it to give trials to other people. Instead, he kept it as a secret tool. It was meant to help him come down to the lower world whenever he wanted. Now, that tool had returned to its original use.
Tang San thought to himself that this body is essentially Tang Shan, not Tang San. Because of this, the body can perfectly act as a successor for a Divinity. It makes total sense for this body to be chosen by a God's Trial.
A thin smile curled on his lips. His eyes showed a great amount of wisdom. By using the link between a God's Trial and a successor, he could watch the Douluo Plane from the God Realm.
He still had some problems. He could not look at any place he wanted like he used to. He could only focus his eyes on himself as the successor. He could also only do this for a short time each time he tried.
Even with these rules, it was much better than being completely blind to what was happening below. His next step was simple. He just needed to keep training this body. Once he became stronger, he could take back control of everything.
The new Son of Destiny was very hard to control. Even worse, that boy had become the successor to the God of Destruction. Tang San knew he had to act. He wanted to hurt the God of Destruction and put his ten-thousand-year plan back on the right path. To fix everything, he knew he had to kill that boy. As these thoughts filled his mind, Tang San checked the condition of his new body.
He noted that Tang Shan was nine years old. He had an innate spirit power of level seven. His spirit was the Clear Sky Hammer, and his current level was seventeen. Tang San gave a small sigh. The God of Destruction had been watching him very closely.
This meant his main body in the God Realm could not help his Divine Sense very much. He could only send two simple orders from far away. The first was to get a God's Trial, and the second was to take over a body.
His Divine Sense did not have much power to act on its own. In such a hurry, he could only pick a body that was a good match. Under these conditions, this body was good enough for now. He calmed his thoughts and decided on his next moves.
His first step would be to go to the Sunset Forest. There, he would show the power of his God's Trial. He would make the Immortal Herbs there sacrifice themselves to help him. This would make his body much stronger and better for cultivation.
His second step was to join Shrek. With his amazing talent, he planned to become the leader of Shrek Academy. The third step was to use that power to gather the strength of the three kingdoms.
He wanted to destroy the Son of Destiny and the Sun Moon Empire completely. With him leading the way, his enemy would have no chance to fight back. Tang San's eyes flashed with excitement. He immediately got up and started to pack his bags. He thought of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and told it to get ready for its master.
Time passed slowly, and soon two weeks had gone by. In the Sunset Forest, near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, two people arrived. They stood outside a dangerous area called the Bi Phosphorus Seven Absolutes Flower Poison Array. These two people were Kong Mingan and the Snow Empress. The Sunset Forest was only a short distance from Heaven Dou City. Even though it was close, they did not hurry to get there.
They had started from small towns near the city and walked slowly. Kong Mingan spent the first few days working on a new training style called the Qi and Blood Method. For the rest of the time, he and the Snow Empress acted like tourists.
They walked and explored the land at a slow pace. The Snow Empress thought everything in the human world was very new and interesting. Kong Mingan explained things to her as they went. He also let her watch how humans lived their lives.
This felt a bit like when he taught his junior students in his past life. The only difference was that the Snow Empress learned much faster than they did. This made him feel a strange sense of pride. They took more than ten days to reach their goal.
Kong Mingan looked at the view ahead of them. Everything looked like it had been painted a dark purple color. A poisonous mist was twisting and turning in the air. It formed a wall that kept everyone else out.
The air smelled sweet but also like things were rotting. Even without getting close, the smell made a person feel dizzy. It was enough to make someone feel sick. Kong Mingan looked at the area and felt a bit interested. A soft blue light appeared in his eyes.
He used his special vision to look through the thick poison. He saw beautiful white flowers hidden inside the mist. He remembered where they were so he could take some later for study. Then, he called out to his companion.
He said the name Snow Empress softly. Before he even finished speaking, she stepped up beside him. Her white hair reached down to her waist, and her blue eyes looked very pure. She used to seem very cold and distant, but now there was more life in her eyes.
She no longer just followed orders; she acted more like a real person. Kong Mingan told her not to destroy the whole poison wall. He asked her to just make a small path for them to walk through. He thought the poison might be useful to them later.
The Snow Empress nodded to show she understood. She raised her thin finger and pointed it at the colorful mist. There was no loud noise or big explosion. Instead, a very cold blue light came from her finger. Wherever the light touched, the moving mist and the flowers froze instantly. Even the air itself turned to ice. Everything became solid, creating a safe path for the two of them to walk through.
