Backstabbing Tang Hao and Ah Yin

Douluo Continent, Plane Space.

"Douluo Continent has reached another convergence of destiny after ten thousand years. Last era, we failed to seize the Plane's Authority and let Huo Yuhao, someone outside the Tang Family, become the Son of Destiny. That was my failure. It won't happen again. From now on, every Son of Destiny must belong to the Tang Family." Through the Plane's Authority, Tang Hao sensed the flow of the world's destiny.

Ah Yin said, "The war in the Divine Realm is over. Thanks to Little San's schemes, the Divine Kings Life and Destruction have entrusted their Divine Seeds to him."

Tang Hao sneered. "Two foolish Divine Kings. They've lived for who knows how long, yet they can't hold a candle to our Little San. It's time they stepped aside. Those two Divine Seeds will let the Tang Family produce two more Divine Kings."

Tang Hao continued, "Little San told me recently that he'll secretly release the Golden Dragon King, fight him, then maneuver him into passing the Golden Dragon King Bloodline to our grandson, Tang Wulin. That's the key to acquiring the Dragon God Bloodline. How are things going with Gu Yuena?"

Ah Yin smiled. "Don't worry. I used the Life Core's Authority to influence Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena while she slept. Only the Soul Beast Sovereign is worthy of marrying into the Tang Family. It's just that she used to rule the Soul Beasts. If she and Wulin end up together, what does that make our relationship?"

Tang Hao snorted and declared, "So what if she's the Soul Beast Sovereign? Once she marries into the Tang Family, she'll call you Grandma like a good girl!"

"And if she refuses?" Ah Yin asked.

"Then we'll tame her, just as we tamed Huo Yuhao. We'll make her obedient enough to bear children for the Tang Family!" A cold glint flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.

Ah Yin chuckled, as though mocking the fate awaiting the Silver Dragon King. In the Soul Beast world, where bloodline hierarchy was absolute, forcing the Silver Dragon King to call her Grandma and Xiao Wu Mom would be a supreme humiliation. Ah Yin would never have dared dream of it before. But with the Tang Family behind her, even as a mere Second-level God, her standing now rivaled that of a Divine King.

Tang Hao's eyes burned with ambition. "The next twenty thousand years are crucial. Once we draw Gu Yuena into the Tang Family and she bears Wulin a son, we can make our move on the Dragon God's Divine Core. Then the Tang Family will gain three Divine King Thrones—Life, Destruction, and Dragon God—and our position will be unshakable."

"Three Divine King Thrones? Aren't you clever. With an appetite that big, aren't you afraid you'll burst?" A venomous voice rose from the depths of the Plane.

The Plane Will and the remnant will of the Life Core launched one final revolt. It caught Tang Hao and Ah Yin completely off guard and dealt them grievous wounds.

"Oh no! Didn't we refine the Plane Will and the Life Core?" Ah Yin asked in shock.

"I don't know, but this is clearly their last stand. Let's finish them off." Killing intent blazed in Tang Hao's eyes.

Within the Plane Space, Tang Hao and Ah Yin faced off against the remaining power of the Plane Will and the Life Core.

"Grandfather-in-law, Grandmother-in-law." As Tang Hao and Ah Yin struggled against the Plane Will and the Life Core, Huo Yuhao's voice sounded behind them.

"Yuhao? What are you doing here?" Ah Yin turned and saw that he was only a wisp of Divine Sense with the strength of a Second-level God.

Huo Yuhao's Divine Sense said, "Grandfather-in-law, Grandmother-in-law, the Golden Dragon King has been slain in the Divine Realm. Father-in-law sensed a disturbance in the Douluo Continent Plane, so he sent me to help you."

Tang Hao suspected nothing. "You've come at the right time, Yuhao. Help us suppress these two wretches."

"Leave it to me. Today, I, Huo Yuhao, will get rid of you two wretches." Huo Yuhao unleashed the two divine techniques that had made him famous: Sorrow of Fate and Soul Severance.

The two techniques split into four beams of light that struck Tang Hao and Ah Yin. Caught utterly unprepared, they were hit, and the Divine Seeds tied to the Plane Core and Life Core were briefly severed from them. The Douluo World's original Plane Core and Life Core seized the chance to reclaim their divine offices.

When Tang Hao and Ah Yin recovered, Tang Hao realized what had happened. Their twenty thousand years of planning to usurp the Plane Core and Life Core had come to nothing.

The situation had turned dire. After regaining their positions, the Plane Will and Life Core pressed their advantage. They sealed the Plane Space, cut off Tang Hao and Ah Yin's escape, and attacked with all their might.

Having landed his first strike, Huo Yuhao's Divine Sense also threw everything it had into attacking them. Tang Hao and Ah Yin were trapped between two fronts.

Without the Plane Core's Authority, Tang Hao could not withstand Huo Yuhao's Divine Sense. He gave ground again and again, eyes bloodshot and breath coming in harsh gasps. "Huo Yuhao, do you know what you're doing?"

"You old dog, Tang Hao. Of course I know what you've been plotting, and I know what I have to do." Huo Yuhao's Divine Sense attacked without mercy. The Plane replenished his unstable Divine Sense, keeping it from dissipating.

"Have you forgotten everything the Tang Family did for you?" Ah Yin was pinned down by the Life Core. Her tens of thousands of years spent consuming and dominating the will of all living beings had finally brought its reckoning.

"What did the Tang Family ever do for me? You turned me into an obedient dog." Huo Yuhao attacked without holding back, his voice thick with fury.

"You became a God because Little San helped you!" Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer cracked under the blows, and he staggered back.

"What a joke! I was the last era's Son of Destiny, destined to become a God. That bastard Tang San only took an interest in me because he wanted to make me his obedient dog." Huo Yuhao's voice turned icy. "But I know whom I owe. I owe everything I have today to the heavens and earth of Douluo. Now the Tang Family is imposing its will on every living being in the Douluo World. How could I stand by? I fell into your schemes the moment I was born. I endured for ten thousand years to get this chance. If I don't repay this world and free its people, but instead remain the Tang Family's dog and help you oppress them, what kind of Son of Destiny would I be? Worse than a beast! Today, the Plane Will, the Life Core, and I will put an end to you both!"
