Hero Xiao Wu

At the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Gu Yuena was dumbstruck.

She could not help looking at the rabbit, Xiao Wu.

Back then, divine beasts had possessed their own independent system of godhood and could ascend to become gods normally, but after the Dragon God ascended to the Divine Realm, his power was too great.

The Five Great God Kings of the Douluo God Realm were deeply wary of the Dragon God and prepared to use a secret method to place his lineage in an inferior, subordinate position.

The Dragon God had sought an equal standing, so he led his followers into war against the Five Great God Kings. He was defeated and slain.

The Dragon God had given his life without securing equal rights, yet more than half the task had been accomplished just because this rabbit had borne Tang San a daughter.

And had chosen Huo Yuhao, who shared bonds of life and death with their Soul Beast Clan, as her son-in-law.

Gu Yuena was exceptionally sharp. After hearing Bibi Dong's analysis, how could she not understand how much Huo Yuhao becoming chairman of the Great God Realm would help their Soul Beast Clan?

With Huo Yuhao in such a position and wielding such authority, he had enormous room to maneuver, even while following the rules.

If the Great God Realm had measures that were unfair to their Soul Beast Clan, would Huo Yuhao step in and veto them?

If human gods in the Great God Realm bullied gods of their Soul Beast Clan, would Huo Yuhao step in and protect them?

If an important position opened up in the Great God Realm, would Huo Yuhao think first of the prodigies of their Soul Beast Clan?

Most likely.

In all this, Huo Yuhao would not have stepped out of line in the slightest, yet taken together, his actions would greatly elevate the standing of their Soul Beast Clan.

"A hero, little rabbit."

"You really are a great hero of our Soul Beast Clan."

"A great hero, far better than a certain muddleheaded, useless dragon."

"If His Majesty the Dragon God knew of this in the afterlife, he would surely smile in the nine springs, knowing he had such a successor."

Delighted, Xiong Jun lifted Xiao Wu, who was in her Soft Bone Charm Rabbit form.

Di Tian: "..."

"Hero! Hero!"

The other Ferocious Beasts cheered as well.

Xiao Wu was still utterly dazed.

Today's events.

They were explosive.

In a single day, she had gone from the greatest beast traitor of their Soul Beast Clan to a great hero.

The Teyvat sky-screen section.

(Zhongli: Tend a tree with care and it may fail to grow; plant a willow without intent and it may spread into shade.)

(Furina: Was it really that powerful? Just because someone with bonds of life and death with the Soul Beast Clan became chairman of that Great God Realm or whatever, the Soul Beast Clan took off?)

(Lin Feng: Yes. I once visited a world where a woman named Wei Zifu became empress. In less than thirty years!)

(Lin Feng: Wei Zifu's younger brother, Wei Qing, went from stable hand to a great general who guarded the nation. Her nephew Huo Qubing even sealed Mount Langjuxu, and the Wei Clan rose to become a great family at the height of its power in that nation.)

(Furina: That would make good material for a script. I must write it down.)

(Little Paimon: Silent Bottle, this is that thing you mentioned. Let me think. Oh, right: when one person attains the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.)

(Little Paimon: If that Dragon God knew of this in the afterlife, he would surely smile in the nine springs.)

(Nahida: This is the first time in my life I have seen such a way to rise.)

(Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya: Rising like this-even if the Dragon God were alive, he probably wouldn't dare dream of it.)

(Raiden Ei: I don't care how the Soul Beast Clan rises. I just want to ask: does anyone have any sweets? I finished mine.)

The Far North of the Douluo Continent.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had also come across the sky screen.

He was beside himself with excitement.

So this bro's future was that badass.

What excited him most was not that he would become a god, but that he had actually seen on the sky screen that the Ice Empress really became his wife.

He was thrilled beyond measure.

For hundreds of thousands of years, Tian Meng's only pursuit had been to marry the Ice Empress.

And so.

He had made his way to the Far North early, entering the Ice Jade Scorpions' territory.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said brazenly, "Can't you see that the future son-in-law of your Ice Jade Scorpion Clan has arrived?"

"Why aren't you taking me to see the Ice Empress?"

Several elders in the Ice Jade Scorpions' territory looked at one another in bewilderment, at a complete loss for what to do.

The future shown on the sky screen was way too damn explosive.

Their Ice Jade Scorpion Clan ate ice dream silkworms as food, just like the relationship between humans and chickens.

Yet the sky screen had told them that their clan leader got together with an ice dream silkworm.

In human society, that would be like a person marrying a chicken.

So explosive.

"Damn you, I'll freaking beat you to death."

The Ice Empress charged straight out and swung her palm at Tian Meng.

"You're murdering your own husband!"

"Why aren't you coming to stop your clan leader? Do you want to see her become a widow?" the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shouted, fleeing at once.

An elder of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan looked at the Ice Empress and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm flirting as they fought, thought about the future on the sky screen, then glanced instinctively at the Sky Dream meat in his hand.

Uh.

The world had gone mad. It was too freaking explosive.

Let it be destroyed.

The Clear Sky Sect.

"Impossible. This is absolutely impossible."

"Someone actually picked my peaches in the future."

Tang San ground his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

He had never imagined that, in the future, the Soul Beast Clan would freaking ride his coattails and rise without lifting a finger.

"Xiao San, don't let your state of mind fall into disarray. This is a great opportunity for you."

Tang Hao spoke.

Tang San looked bewildered. "What do you mean?"

Tang Hao said, "Huo Yuhao is your son-in-law. He hasn't been born yet, so naturally there's nothing we can do about him."

"But the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress already exist."

"Huo Yuhao is the master of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress. You're Huo Yuhao's father-in-law, and a son-in-law is half a son."

"Isn't a son's property yours?"

"You can have the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sacrifice themselves to you."

When Tang San heard this, a flash of utter ecstasy crossed his eyes. "Yes, Dad is right."

"A son-in-law is half a son."

"Isn't a son's property mine?"

"If I reward them as the father-in-law of the Ice Empress and Snow Empress's future master, and use both kindness and authority, they'll surely sacrifice themselves to me."

"With that Soul Ring Configuration, completing the Asura God Trial and the Sea God Trial would be like adding wings to a tiger."

Of course Tang San knew Huo Yuhao had not been born yet. But so what? Who watching the sky screen didn't know that he, Tang San, would become a dual God King?

In the future recorded on the sky screen, wasn't going to the Divine Realm what the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Empress wanted most?

He only had to make the word "future" sound convincing enough and proclaim "Divine Realm" loudly enough. If he spun them a story, what if those three Soul Beasts believed him?

Tang San opened the Douluo section of the sky screen.

(Tang San @ Ice Empress, Snow Empress, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: I am Tang San, the father-in-law of your future master, Huo Yuhao.)

(Tang San: Why don't you hurry to the Clear Sky Sect and sacrifice yourselves to me?)

(Tang San: Don't you want to go to the Divine Realm? Once I complete the Douluo Divine Trial and the Sea God Trial, I'll take you there.)

(Tang San: Tian Meng, as long as you come help me, don't you want to marry that Ice Empress or whatever? Once I attain the position of God King, I'll give the Ice Empress to you in marriage.)

Celestia.

Lin Feng read this as he drank his tea.

He could not help finding it amusing.

Little Paimon ate her sweets as she said, "I really wonder what expression Huo Yuhao would make if he knew his father-in-law had snatched his opportunity ten thousand years ago. I really want to see it."

Lin Feng said, "Then let's have a look."

Little Paimon's face was full of questions. "What do you mean??"

Lin Feng smiled without answering and stretched out a hand, reaching through space.

Crossing the river of time, he seized Huo Yuhao from the Peerless Tang Sect timeline, when his cultivation was still at the Soul Douluo level, as easily as an eagle snatching a chick.

Then he raised a hand and flung him in Tang San's direction.
