Amid the chaos of the Space-Time Turbulence, Huo Yuhao crossed paths with the Golden Dragon King once more. But their alliance had crumbled the moment Tang San fell. To seize the Seed of Life and Destruction from Huo Yuhao, the Golden Dragon King launched a ruthless sneak attack.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao had been prepared. They fought a battle that shook the heavens, until space-time shattered and the great laws were ground away. Already gravely wounded, the Golden Dragon King was no match for Huo Yuhao and fell to his blade. But before he died, he poured his bloodline origin and all his power into Huo Yuhao, hoping to overwhelm him to death within the Space-Time Turbulence.
To withstand the Golden Dragon King Origin, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to seal it inside himself with his Divine Power. The act drained him of every trace of that power. Dragging his battered body to an unfamiliar Plane, he began absorbing the origin and cultivating anew.
At first, Huo Yuhao thought he had reached another Plane. Soon, he realized something was wrong. The Space-Time Turbulence had twisted his path: he had arrived upstream in Douluo's timeline, tens of thousands of years before Douluo Continent's first era. The Sea God and Angel God had yet to ascend, the Dragon God had long since fallen, and Soul Beasts still held an overwhelming advantage. Humanity huddled on a few small plains, barely fending off Soul Beast attacks through the strength of Soul Masters.
Once Huo Yuhao realized what age he was in, not even an AK-47 could have wiped the grin off his face. What gave Tang San the right to lord it over him? Lucky breaks? Huo Yuhao had started out with a Million-Year Soul Ring. Teachers? Yu Xiaogang wasn't fit to carry Electrolux's or Mu En's shoes.
Tang San had only reached such heights because he had been born ten thousand years before Huo Yuhao. With timing on his side, he had seized every advantage and arranged Huo Yuhao's entire life to suit himself. In other stories, a protagonist clawed his way up from insignificance, ascended to a higher Plane, then found himself insignificant all over again. Tang San had ascended from Douluo and gone straight into a seat among the Divine Realm's five great thugs. The veteran Evil God and Good God had both reincarnated, and authority over the God Realm Central Hub had fallen into his hands. It was as if the whole world had cleared a path for him. Why should he have had that privilege?
Now everything was different. Huo Yuhao could finally bring Tang San to heel from upstream in time.
In that age of rebirth, Huo Yuhao drew on the mental power he had cultivated to its limit and the extraordinary Physique gained from merging with the Golden Dragon King Bloodline. He forcibly fused the powers of life and destruction, forming the beginnings of a Divine Throne. As time passed, he climbed toward the peak and came to understand the universe's Laws. The nascent throne took shape at last, becoming the Eternal God Position. Forged from three Divine King seeds—the Life God Seed, the Destruction God Seed, and the Seed of Emotion—it propelled him straight into the God King Realm the moment he ascended.
To ensure Tang San would be born as planned, Huo Yuhao left the broad course of that era largely untouched. After laying ample plans on Douluo Continent, he ascended to the Divine Realm.
The moment Huo Yuhao entered the Divine Realm, the Five God Kings vehemently opposed him. The Shura God had once said, "The Divine Realm finally got rid of the Dragon God, that overbearing monster. How could we let another one in? We five Divine Kings rule the Divine Realm. We're the ones in charge!" So the Shura God joined forces with the Life God, Destruction God, Good God, and Evil God. United in the Shared-Fate Alliance, they isolated the newly ascended Eternal God, Huo Yuhao.
How had Tang San gained Authority upon ascending? Timing. The old Asura had already left, while the Evil God and Good God—whether they had taken blows to the head or fallen under a curse—had actually handed their Authority to that Little Scumbag.
Huo Yuhao, by contrast, had used his own strength to wrest a share of Authority from the Five God Kings.
Twenty thousand years later on Douluo Continent, the Angel God ascended, and so did the Sea God. Another ten thousand years passed, and a new era began.
"If I hadn't chosen to betray him, I'd probably still be Tang San's lapdog. I've spent my whole life walking on thin ice, but I finally made it across. Little Scumbag, now it's your turn." Huo Yuhao spoke under his breath.
"Tang San hasn't been born yet. I'll start with Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao." Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth.
The view through the Eternal Eyes shifted to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. A noblewoman sat enjoying afternoon tea while maids attended her. She had no idea a new life was growing inside her. The woman was Wang Bilian, Yu Yuanzhen's wife. The child in her womb was most likely Yu Xiaogang.
With that thought, Huo Yuhao reached out through Divine Sense to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in the Lower Realm. "Tian Meng, I've got a job for you."
"Oh, already? What is it, Yuhao?" the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked from the Lower Realm.
"Yu Xiaogang is about to be born. According to history, he had no siblings. That means Yu Yuanzhen only had one son."
"You have something in mind?" Tian Meng asked.
"Arrange another son for him. Preferably one born in the same year as Yu Xiaogang. You know what to do, right?"
"Why do that?" Tian Meng seemed to catch on, and a teasing note entered his voice. "Heh, Yuhao, you're wicked!"
Just as Tang San had left Divine Beasts on Douluo Continent to carry out his plans after ascending, Huo Yuhao had left some behind for his own. Tian Meng was one of them. The Plane's limits held him at the strength of a Quasi-God Limit Douluo, but Yu Yuanzhen, an ordinary Titled Douluo, was nowhere near his match.
As soon as Huo Yuhao gave the order, Tian Meng acted. He took control of Yu Yuanzhen, had him drink himself senseless, then called a maid from the clan to attend him.
Yu Yuanzhen was the master of a clan, the renowned Thunder Douluo. He possessed a top-tier Beast Martial Soul and exceptional Talent. There was no shortage of women interested in him. If he wished, a crook of his finger would bring a crowd willing to share his bed. Whether they wanted the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's wealth and Authority or Yu Yuanzhen's powerful Martial Soul bloodline, the gamble was worth it.
Seeing Yu Yuanzhen dead drunk and unconscious, his personal maid Yun Niang had a daring idea—and acted on it.
The next day, Yu Yuanzhen hazily recalled what had happened the night before. He looked at Yun Niang, then dismissed the one-night encounter. As a Titled Douluo, he knew how difficult it was for him to father children.
What Yu Yuanzhen didn't know was that the encounter had hit its mark. Xiao Gang's younger brother, who had never existed in the original history, was on his way.
Over the following months, Yu Xiaogang's mother Wang Bilian began to show. The child in her womb steadily drained her life essence. As her belly grew, she grew weaker.
