Tang Hao's Current Situation

One month later.

Over the past month, Ling Yuxuan and Qian Renxue either cultivated together in the Cultivation Room or sparred with each other at the Training Field, improving their strength.

Ling Yuxuan looked at the Angel Crystal Core in his system storage, then at Qian Renxue. This thing would not improve him much, but for Qian Renxue, it could greatly enhance her spirit, perhaps even evolve it. But how was he supposed to give it to her? Take it out of thin air? If she asked where he got it, how would he explain? It seemed he could only find an excuse to give it to Qian Renxue later.

At that moment, the two arrived before an estate.

"Xiao Xuan, let's go in!"

Qian Renxue pulled Ling Yuxuan into the estate. The place was exceptionally lively today. Several High Priests had gathered here, and even Qian Daoliu was present.

Golden Crocodile Douluo, Sky Crocodile, stood in the middle, holding a little girl less than a year old in his arms.

Ling Yuxuan curiously asked Qian Renxue who the little girl was.

When Tian Yue had just been born, Qian Daoliu had taken Ling Yuxuan to hunt for a Soul Ring. Over the past month, Ling Yuxuan had been focused on cultivation, so he naturally knew nothing about Tian Yue. Only today did he learn that Golden Crocodile Douluo had a granddaughter.

Ling Yuxuan was dumbfounded upon learning this, because this character had never appeared when he read the original novel. Still, perhaps some special reason had caused this.

"System, can you check Tian Yue's Innate Soul Power and spirit?"

"Host, yes. Tian Yue: Golden Crocodile spirit, Level 9 Innate Soul Power."

Ling Yuxuan silently nodded. Level 9 Innate Soul Power—given Spirit Hall's resources and Golden Crocodile Douluo's guidance, once she grew up, she would definitely become another Titled Douluo!

Ling Yuxuan and Qian Renxue walked over to little Tian Yue. Perhaps because they both possessed Angel Spirits, the aura they gave off made little Tian Yue feel especially close to them. Tian Yue, who had been crying and fussing because of the crowd, stopped the moment the two came near.

Looking at Tian Yue, Ling Yuxuan had an idea. There were roughly fourteen years left until the Soul Master Competition from the original novel. By then, he would be twenty and at least a Soul Douluo. Although there was no age restriction, sending a Soul Douluo to compete would really be bullying the younger generation. Tian Yue's age was just right. Wasn't she far better than those Golden Three Wastes?

After the banquet ended, Ling Yuxuan and Qian Renxue returned to the courtyard where they lived and continued cultivating.

Meanwhile, in Holy Soul Village, Fasinuo Province, Heaven Dou Empire.

A figure draped in a tattered Black Robe, holding an infant in his arms, arrived at this ordinary little village.

This figure was Tang Mouse, known as Tang Runner. The child in his arms was the future Tang the Greatly Merciful Buddha Three.

Tang Hao braced himself against a wall and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Many of his internal organs had shifted out of place. The power that had suddenly erupted from within him during the final battle had allowed him to defeat Qian Xunji and the others, but its backlash had nearly sent him to meet the King of Hell.

Tang Hao settled down in this village with Tang San.

Tang Hao looked at Tang San, who neither cried nor fussed in his arms. Tang Hao had originally thought Tang San had died during the three-day, three-night battle with Qian Xunji, yet Tang San had unexpectedly survived and become quiet, neither crying nor making a fuss.

When Tang Hao passed a pigsty with Tang San, he saw an old sow nursing her piglets. Along the way, he had only fed Tang San some animal milk stolen from who knew where, and now there was nowhere for him to get more milk. Looking at the sow inside, Tang Hao thought that milk was milk. There should not be much difference, right?

And so, their Great God King Tang lay against the old sow and began drinking pig's milk.

Tang Hao also opened a blacksmith shop in the village, barely earning enough money for his drinking. As for Tang San, as long as he did not starve to death, that was enough. Every day, Tang Hao fed Tang San either sour goat's milk or milk from the old sow.

Tang Hao lay on a broken wooden bed, constantly numbing himself with alcohol. Had he really done something wrong?

But what was wrong with pursuing power? Some things could only be cherished after they were lost!

Tang Hao looked at Tang San. Perhaps your arrival was also a mistake. A child born of a human and a soul beast should be called a mongrel too, right? The creature known as a Wolf Thief suddenly came to Tang Hao's mind—a hybrid species born from humans and soul beasts! I just wonder what exactly you are!

Ah Yin's clear, peerlessly beautiful figure appeared in Tang Hao's mind, and his fists clenched tightly. Was I wrong? No, I did nothing wrong. Spirit Hall was at fault. Spirit Hall was the reason Ah Yin and I were separated. Spirit Hall, I, Tang Hao, will destroy Spirit Hall in this lifetime!

God Realm.

Inside the Asura God Temple, Sea God and Rakshasa God stood before Asura God. The two gods had come to report the anomaly that had just occurred to Asura.

"Asura, there may be unforeseen changes in your plan. I originally intended to lure Bibi Dong into killing members of the Angel Clan, so that she would begin the Rakshasa God Test and I could control her indirectly. But just now, I suddenly discovered that the mark I left on her had been purified by the Angel Holy Sword left behind by that Angel bitch. Furthermore, when I tried to place another mark on her, my divine power inexplicably vanished just before reaching her. After repeated attempts, I still failed."

Sea God also said from the side:

"The same happened to me. Ever since you and I assassinated the Angel God, I have controlled the Angel Clan's god tests, tampering with the Angel trials so that even after she became a god, she would be unable to wield her full power. But now, my connection with the Angel God Statue below has suddenly been severed."

After hearing what the two gods said, Asura shook his head indifferently.

"So what you mean is that Spirit Hall below has been protected by some inexplicable force, and you fear it may affect the later plan. There is no need to worry. Even if we cannot influence them, what can they do? That Bibi Dong can no longer inherit the Rakshasa Godhood. That leaves only one future Angel God. Even if she inherits the Godhood, so what? My Asura Godhood is the position of a God King. How could a mere First Level God contend with my God King position?"

But after Asura observed the lower realm, he frowned again.

"What is going on? I remember transferring Spirit Hall's Fortune to my inheritor, so why has the Fortune around my inheritor been continuously draining away?"

Asura waved his hand, preparing to transfer Fortune to his inheritor once more.

This time, he failed. Because of the barrier, Spirit Hall's Fortune was as steady as Mount Tai. No matter how he tried to move it, he could not interfere with it.
