Tang Hao was, in every sense, a slave to the sect.

As long as it benefited the sect, Tang Hao was willing to do anything.

Bringing Tang Chen back and reclaiming control of the Clear Sky Sect.

That was the wish of every Clear Sky Sect member.

"Come to think of it, the young man whom the Asura God took notice of and personally reincarnated was called Tang San."

"Isn't that Tang Hao's son's name?"

When Tang Hao was mentioned, Tang San naturally could not be avoided.

The moment those words were spoken, the great hall fell deathly silent.

If Tang Hao's son, Tang San, was the reincarnation of a dying man from another world whom the Asura God had manipulated...

Could he still be considered Tang Hao's son?

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like a cuckoo taking over a magpie's nest, borrowing a body to return to life.

In any case, Tang Xiao could not accept that his son might be the reincarnation of a petty thief from another world who had stolen sect secrets.

If anyone dared to plot against him like that.

Tang Xiao would rather chop down such an unfilial son.

"Perhaps they simply share the same name!"

After a long silence, the Second Elder slowly spoke.

He did not want such a thing to happen to Tang Hao's son.

If Tang San truly was the reincarnation of someone from another world, then he could only be considered an outsider and would never be accepted by the sect.

The very thought of it was unsettling.

Who could accept that their son was a reincarnated person brought over by a God?

"Let's hope so!"

Tang Xiao let out a sigh.

"Xiao San, tell me. Are you a reincarnated person from another world?"

Tang Hao's cold voice sounded beside Tang San's ear.

An utterly oppressive, gloomy aura filled the air.

Tang San's heart skipped a beat.

Tang Hao seemed to radiate a terrifying presence, as though he were about to tear him apart.

"Father, I'm not..."

"I am your son!"

Tang San was a clever person.

He knew he absolutely could not admit it now.

With Tang Hao's personality, he would surely be unable to accept it.

Tang Hao's expression remained icy.

"If you are not, then tell me—why were you so precocious from such a young age, and why do you know so many strange hidden weapons?"

"Those things do not belong to this era at all."

Frost filled Tang Hao's eyes.

Tang San's expression changed slightly, and cold sweat soaked his back.

"Father, I figured all of these things out myself."

"Didn't Great-Grandfather Tang Chen also create many Self-Created Soul Skills through his own efforts?"

"I am your son. Naturally, I must live up to your bloodline and the Clear Sky Sect's great name."

"A tiger father has no dog son!"

"With you as my example, I was able to achieve what I have today."

Tang San's mind raced as he explained.

Tang Hao pondered for a long time before finally choosing to believe him.

"I believe you, Xiao San!"

"There may be someone else in this world who shares your name!"

Tang Hao patted Tang San on the shoulder and did not pursue the matter any further.

Seeing that Tang Hao had let the matter pass, Tang San slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Reincarnation was his greatest secret!

Tang San absolutely could not expose himself, no matter what.

But he had never imagined that his rebirth was actually connected to the Asura God.

The Asura God had taken a liking to him and wanted to choose him as his successor.

That meant his future ascension to godhood had also been arranged by the Asura God.

"Xiao San, come with me to the City of Slaughter!"

"I'm going to bring your Grandpa back!"

"And while we're there, it'll be a good place for you to train."

Tang Hao decided to change his plans and take Tang San into the City of Slaughter ahead of schedule.

On one hand, he wanted to find Tang Chen amid the vast sea of people.

On the other, he could use the pressure of the City of Slaughter to help Tang San grow rapidly.

With him there, Tang San would be safe anyway.

"I'll listen to you in everything, Father."

Tang San nodded, putting on an obedient expression.

Very soon...

The two set out on their journey to the City of Slaughter.

Sea God Island!

Bo Saixi finally learned of Tang Chen's whereabouts, her face full of guilt.

"It's all my fault!"

"If not for me, you wouldn't have been dragged into the grudge between the Rakshasa God and the Asura God."

"Tang Chen, wait for me. I'm coming to save you right now."

Bo Saixi left the ocean without regard for anything else.

As the High Priestess of Sea God Island, her duty should have been to guard the ocean. She was not supposed to leave even a single step.

But now, for the sake of her love—

Bo Saixi was determined to be willful for once.

With the Seven Sacred Pillars remaining on Sea God Island, nothing major should happen.

But if she did not go save Tang Chen, she feared she would never have another chance in this lifetime.

Bo Saixi did not want to miss him again.

"Despicable Asura God! So Tang San was the Reincarnator you brought here."

"No wonder Tang San behaved so inhumanely!"

In the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King hated the Asura God even more.

As a God, the Asura God should never have interfered in mortal affairs.

Yet by having Tang San reincarnate in the Douluo Continent, the Asura God had already violated the rules of the God Realm.

Thinking of how Tang San had split his own daughter's soul in two without hesitation in order to steal the Soul Beasts' fortune, it was clear that he and the Asura God were cut from the same cloth.

They were both complete and utter villains!

"Dead rabbit, you'd better pray that Tang San shows himself soon."

"Otherwise, I'll make your life worse than death."

Di Tian viciously slammed Xiao Wu to the ground to vent his displeasure.

God Realm...

The Asura God's expression turned incomparably ugly.

He had not expected the Heavenly Curtain Review to expose his actions as well.

This completely pushed him into the eye of the storm.

"Asura, is this the awareness expected of an enforcer?"

"The Rakshasa God broke the rules and plotted against Mortals of the lower realm."

"Not only did you fail to stop her, you even allowed it all to happen. Your purpose was to use the Rakshasa God's hand to prevent Tang Chen from succeeding to the Asura God Position."

"Beyond that, you interfered with life and death in another world, allowing Tang San, who should have perished, to reincarnate in the Douluo Continent."

"Do you know your wrongdoing?"

The God of Goodness questioned him in displeasure.

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, who were also enforcers, both echoed her words.

"Asura, what you have done is a grave mistake."

"You have disgraced the name of an enforcer and betrayed everyone's trust in you."

Facing the condemnation of the God Kings!

Knowing he was in the wrong, the Asura God could only offer a helpless defense.

"I merely wanted to find a suitable and outstanding successor to continue serving the God Realm."

"My original intention in doing all this was also to ensure that the God Realm would have more exceptional younger talents."

The Asura God's excuses did not earn him forgiveness.

The God of Evil and the God of Goodness exchanged a glance and decided to discuss how to deal with the Asura God after the evaluation was over.

After all, he was a God King!

He still had to be shown the proper respect.

As for the Rakshasa God, the God of Evil would personally deal with her.

After all, she was his subordinate.

Rakshasa God Temple!

The Rakshasa God felt like a complete clown.

She had deliberately risked violating the God Realm's rules to plot against Tang Chen, all to take revenge on the Asura God.

Yet she had never expected that, from beginning to end, the Asura God had never cared whether Tang Chen lived or died.

He had never even intended for Tang Chen to inherit the God Position.

Simply because Tang Chen was not vicious enough, not despicable enough, not ruthless enough.

Her plot against Tang Chen had instead worked perfectly in the Asura God's favor.

That way, he could naturally arrange for Tang San to inherit the God Position.

"Asura, you really are a bastard."

Unable to swallow her anger, the Rakshasa God cursed.
