The Douluo God Realm.
The glow of sunset was dense, and clouds and mists swirled.
An image of a handsome figure stood between the clouds and mists, giving off a sense of being "pure as ice and clean as jade" just by looking at him. He wore a set of magnificent blue robes, and his stature was tall and burly. Most striking was the long, blue hair parted down the middle that hung to the ground, which looked quite uncoordinated with his burly build, though the individual himself likely did not share that feeling.
In his hand, he gripped a Golden Trident that he was never willing to let go of, gazing into the distance of the endless sea of clouds, looking at who-knows-what.
This person was the pinnacle of power in the God Realm, the Enforcer of the God Realm, the Asura God and Sea God, Tang San, a fusion of dual Divine Positions.
"Sigh... if this continues, everything will fall into chaos..."
Tang San supported his forehead with his hand and shook his head, letting out a soft sigh. The original sense of being pure as ice and clean as jade did not disappear; instead, as golden light emerged on his body, he gained a few degrees of Buddha-like compassion and pity for mankind, as if he could not bear to see the tragedies of the lower realm.
Through ten thousand years of change, the situation on the Douluo Continent had become turbulent. The Heavenly Dipper Empire split, the Star Net Empire was forced to abdicate, and the Sun Moon Empire watched like a tiger stalking its prey... The Tang Sect had also declined because it failed to keep up with the development of the era. However, the Tang Sect was, after all, created by Tang San's own hands and was the base of his source of Power of Faith. He truly could not bear to see its extinction. Thus, Tang San did not hesitate to consume his own Power of Destiny and Divine Power to link the fate of the Tang Sect with the Son of Destiny of the plane born every ten thousand years. Under his guidance, the Tang Sect would always undergo a revival through the efforts of the Son of the Plane.
But... recently, when he observed the Douluo Continent again, he discovered to his surprise that the connection between the new star and the Tang Sect had abruptly... snapped!
This was not right! Very much not right!
What Tang San could least accept was the development of matters exceeding his expectations.
Just as he intended to check the reason why the fate connection between the new star and the Tang Sect had broken, he discovered with surprise that the Douluo Continent actually had another new Son of Destiny!
A powerhouse at his level naturally understood that a plane usually has a Planar Will, and it would never—without reason—birth two Sons of the Plane in the same era.
Just like his own era, the Son of the Plane was himself. Destiny stood on his side. No matter how much of a genius Bibi Dong or Qian Renxue were, they eventually fell by his hand.
But the birth of two Sons of the Plane in this era was highly abnormal, especially under the premise that his father, Tang Hao, had basically replaced the Planar Will.
After observing for a while through his Purple Demon Eye, Tang San realized that this new star named Lan Xuanyu indeed had problems.
If one compared the Power of Destiny on Huo Yuhao and Lan Xuanyu to a ball of light, then the Power of Destiny on the first new star, Huo Yuhao, was a perfect whole, shining brilliantly like a sun, dazzling the eyes. It made Tang San's eyes grow greedy. However, the Power of Destiny on Lan Xuanyu was incomplete; it was much smaller than Huo Yuhao's and existed in pieces here and there, like a basketball artificially stitched together. It was far less complete than Huo Yuhao's.
One was clearly native to the soil, while the other was clearly man-made...
...Wait!
Artificially stitched... man-made...
As if suddenly grasping a key point, a flash of inspiration struck Tang San, and his eyes lit up.
He understood!
This Lan Xuanyu must be a Son of the Plane artificially manufactured by the remnant Planar Will of Planet Douluo to resist him!
The proof was Lan Xuanyu's incomplete, hand-stitched Planar Luck. As for why it was incomplete, the most likely reason was a lack of time—the remnant Planar Will didn't have time to mobilize more Planar Luck to pour into him.
The Douluo Star Planar Will must have realized that his father was gradually replacing it. Knowing that the original Child of the Plane, Huo Yuhao, was already "meat on the table" and could not escape Tang San's grasp, it decided to wage a desperate last stand, betting its final hope on Lan Xuanyu!
And that Huo Yuhao was merely pushed to the front to distract him. To this end, the remnant Planar Will even went so far as to cut the connection between Huo Yuhao and the Tang Sect, all so that Tang San would focus his energy on Huo Yuhao and relax his guard regarding Lan Xuanyu!
A confident, determined smile tugged at the corner of Tang San's mouth. Did they really think such petty tricks could deceive this God King, who held the title of the God of Wisdom? A joke!
Planar Will, your scheme has been seen through!
"The Martial Soul is actually still a Blue Silver King... what a clumsy Planar Will, what a clumsy Lan Xuanyu."
Did they not know that the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul was the royalty of the plant-type Martial Souls? A mere Blue Silver King could do absolutely nothing in the presence of the Blue Silver Emperor!
After being happy for less than half a minute over seeing through the Planar Will's trick, Tang San's emotions shifted to disappointment and anger.
O vast Heavens... why are you so unkind to me...
I, Tang San, have worked day and night, exhausting myself for the long-term peace of the Douluo Continent and the development of the God Realm. I even let my own parents become the Planar Will and the Life Core to dedicate their lives to the Douluo Continent. Not only do you people not understand, but you also keep stabbing me in the back?!
To ensure the Child of the Plane wouldn't go astray, I even sent my most beloved daughter to the lower realm to accompany him as he grew, yet you obstruct me at every turn!
The Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Plan may involve certain risks and sacrifices, but in the long run, after the Douluo Star is replenished with life energy, it will evolve into a Demi-God Realm. This is a deed of merit that will last for generations!
Such a short-sighted, heartless Planar Will truly has a "Way to Seek Death"!
The more Tang San thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more aggrieved he felt.
Who could possibly understand his painstaking efforts...
"Since you, this stubborn Planar Will, insist on opposing this God King, then do not blame this God King for being unkind!"
The General Principles of the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: A disciple of the Tang Sect shall not easily provoke trouble, but if someone takes the initiative to offend, respond with the force of thunder. Once it is determined the opponent is an enemy, as long as they have a Way to Seek Death, show no mercy, otherwise, you only add to your own troubles.
Who told this Lan Xuanyu to be backed by the Planar Will?
Let this Lan Xuanyu learn: once you've provoked the Abbot... does the Buddha still let you leave?
Thinking of this, a smile of "perfect calculation" curled onto Tang San's lips. He already had a plan for how to deal with this clumsy Lan Xuanyu!
Of all the tens of thousands of words in the world, only the word "Love" hurts the most.
Xiao Qi will have to work a little hard. He believed that with Xiao Qi's peerless beauty and noble status, she would surely make these two Children of the Plane fall head over heels for her. Of course, in the end, he would definitely find a good home for Xiao Qi.
But as the saying goes, how can one see a rainbow without going through the storm? At that time, he would let the two of them continuously sacrifice themselves for Xiao Qi and the Tang Family, and see which of them could fight to the end.
