Tang San's Life Reflection

Tang San turned his head and looked at his father, drunk on the ground and rolling back and forth. This was a sight he had never seen in his past memories.

In his previous life, when Tang San had transmigrated here, he had only begun slowly recovering the awareness of his past life at the age of two or three. Naturally, he had never seen that towering, indomitable father of his in such a vulnerable and agonized state.

Tang San knew that his father had only just suffered the pain of losing his mother. His own heart clenched in unbearable pain alongside his father's.

In his previous life, his mother had died, but with Tang San's help, she had later been revived. Xiao Wu had sacrificed herself, but Tang San had later revived her as well. The blood-deep grudge against Spirit Hall had been avenged, and he himself had become one body with two gods. His life had been complete. If there was any regret in his previous life—

It was that he had not personally killed that bastard Qian Xunji!

Because of Qian Xunji, his mother had been forced to sacrifice herself. Because of Qian Xunji, Grandmaster and Senior Bibi Dong, two people in love, had been unable to be together. He had been the root of all those tragedies, yet he had died shortly after Tang San was born.

He had died completely and utterly. Even his soul had been devoured by Bibi Dong. Not even Tang San, after becoming a god, had been able to bring Qian Xunji back just to whip his corpse.

That was Tang San's regret that scarcely counted as a regret from his previous life.

Seeing his father in such pain, Tang San came to hate Qian Xunji as well.

He looked at his father, his little eyes becoming incomparably resolute. Unable to make a sound, he could only think firmly:

Ba Ba, don't worry. Qian Xunji, the chief culprit who reduced our family to this state, is already dead. Your great name, Clear Sky Douluo, will be celebrated across the entire continent.

Ba Ba, Mother will definitely be revived in the future. Your son will one day become the Sea God and Asura God, renowned throughout the continent. Don't be fooled by Spirit Hall being at the height of its power right now. In my eyes, Spirit Hall is nothing more than dry bones in a grave. The day I, Tang San, become a god will be the day Spirit Hall turns to ashes.

Tang San, who had been bewildered by his rebirth, now had much firmer eyes. Wasn't it just living life all over again? Familiar with every development to come, could he, Tang San, possibly fare worse than in his previous life? Even when the Tang San of his previous life had known nothing, he had still become Tang San the God King. This time, he could likewise reach that same point.

Calming himself, Tang San began considering what he should do next.

As a reborn person, he would naturally choose the optimal path from his previous life. But after thinking carefully, Tang San discovered that the path he had taken in his previous life was already his optimal solution.

Whether it was divine inheritances, immortal herbs, External Soul Bones, or all manner of fortuitous opportunities, he had already taken nearly every benefit Douluo Continent would offer over the next hundred years. As for opportunities on Spirit Hall's side, he couldn't exactly steal Qian Renxue's Angel God inheritance or seize Bibi Dong's Rakshasa God inheritance, could he?

I, Tang San, am the man chosen by Asura. With the Asura God, even a dog wouldn't want the Rakshasa God.

After pondering for a long time, Tang San was shocked to realize that following the path of his previous life was the optimal solution. In this life, he only needed to walk the same path exactly as before, and that would be OK. At most, he could make minor adjustments along the way. For instance, for his second soul ring, he should not choose a mere six-hundred-year Hundred Year Soul Ring. At the very least, it had to be a seven- or eight-hundred-year soul ring, or else it would disgrace me, Tang San the God King.

However, while contemplating his future life plan, Tang San became entangled in an ethical dilemma.

As Tang San carefully reviewed the first half of his life, he discovered that many of his opportunities had come when Xiao Wu was in danger.

For example, when Xiao Wu had been taken away by the Titan Giant Ape, Tang San had chased after her and encountered the Man Faced Demon Spider. After absorbing the Man Faced Demon Spider, he had gained a set of Eight Spider Lances. But Tang San, who knew the future, knew that the Titan Giant Ape would not harm Xiao Wu. So should he pretend to be desperately worried for Xiao Wu, chase after her, then happen to "coincidentally" encounter the Man Faced Demon Spider, kill it, and absorb it?

Then later, when he hunted for his fourth soul ring and the Fragrant Soul-Attracting Beast drew over a Man Faced Demon Spider and a Cave Demon Spider, Tang San also knew that the Man Faced Demon Spider would injure Xiao Wu. That was also an opportunity for him to absorb the Man Faced Demon Spider's venom and evolve his External Soul Bone. Should he do it?

Furthermore, the reason Tang San's soul rings had later been able to undergo such a leap in quality was largely because Xiao Wu had been driven by Spirit Hall's people to the point where she had no choice but to sacrifice herself for him. Only then had Tang San achieved the feat of obtaining a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as his sixth soul ring. With that foundation, his seventh, eighth, and ninth rings could all be Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

And the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python—he had only been able to obtain those two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings because of Xiao Wu, because those two soul beasts had willingly sacrificed themselves for him.

Without Xiao Wu's sacrifices, how could he have become one body with two gods?

When he had not known what was about to happen, Tang San had been able to accept it with a clear conscience. But now that he knew what was going to happen, should he let it continue to happen?

He couldn't exactly put both hands on Xiao Wu's shoulders and say, "Xiao Wu, sacrifice yourself for me. I'll revive you after a while."

Then could I, Tang San, still call myself the giegie who dotes on Little Sister Xiao Wu the most?

The troubles that came with knowing the plot plunged Tang San into conflict. The overwhelming majority of his opportunities required Xiao Wu to encounter danger. If he truly loved Xiao Wu, he should take her with him and avoid those risks in advance. But if Xiao Wu was safe, his opportunities would be gone. Without the sixth ring Xiao Wu gave him through sacrifice, the quality of his later soul rings would be a whole tier lower. Without Xiao Wu encountering danger, he would not become one body with two gods. Without Xiao Wu encountering danger, he—

Tang San the God King felt like he had been screwed by fate. Heavens, even if you were going to let me be reborn, you shouldn't have let me be reborn with these memories!

After struggling for a long while, Tang San finally made his decision. He could only—

He could only let Xiao Wu suffer a little more.

His love for Xiao Wu was witnessed by heaven and earth, witnessed by the sun and moon; it could move the heavens and shake the earth. No one could deny it. In this life, he was merely retracing the love story of Tang San and Xiao Wu. Absolutely, absolutely not knowingly letting Xiao Wu encounter danger even though he knew she was about to face it. Absolutely not.

Right, I am merely retracing the love story of Tang San and Xiao Wu. Thinking this, Tang San the God King immediately felt a little better.

I really want to grow up quickly and cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

In Tang San's eyes, being reborn was nothing more than taking another journey through the mortal world. His previous life had been on hard difficulty, but now that he knew the entire plot, Tang San felt that this instance was on easy difficulty—there was not the slightest bit of hardship to it. He only needed to follow the script, and everything that should be his would become his.

Little did Tang San know that he had no idea what awaited him in the future of this life.
