Already Has the Path to Death

Watching Wang Dong jump at every little thing, Huo Yuhao could only feel helpless. "Aren't you still dressed as a boy right now? What are you panicking for?"

"Ah? Right..."

At those words, Wang Dong's reason finally regained the upper hand, and she recalled the whole sequence of events.

Her first attempt at martial soul fusion had felt so comfortable during the buildup that, after having her nerves wound tight for so long, Wang Dong relaxed for a moment and immediately fell into a deep, high-quality sleep.

So, after covering her with a blanket, Huo Yuhao silently returned to his own bed to cultivate.

He continued charging toward Level 28!

A righteous gentleman like him would never take advantage of someone's vulnerability.

What was more, Huo Yuhao could swear to the heavens that he had absolutely no interest in Wang Dong while she was dressed as a boy.

With a heart as pure as ice, one remained unshaken even if the sky collapsed.

As for their exploration of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill that afternoon, it went fairly smoothly.

Through repeated verification, Huo Yuhao was able to confirm that his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul had an extremely high degree of compatibility with both of Wang Dong's martial souls.

Though it had not reached one hundred percent compatibility, using a Martial Soul Fusion Skill was no problem at all.

Spirit Eyes—the universal fusion material. You deserved to have it!

As for the Ice Soul Body Martial Soul, it felt nothing at all.

Even the "one hundred percent compatibility" between Elder Yi's Divine Consciousness and the Sea God's Divine Consciousness in the Original Work had somehow completely vanished.

Just like the Hell White Tiger, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill now only served to temporarily increase their combat strength and enrich their Trump Cards.

But that was the proper use of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

The Haodong Power born from the one hundred percent compatibility of three martial souls in the Original Work was the abnormal existence.

One look was enough to identify it as a cheat granted by God King Tang.

Not only could it mutually increase Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao's cultivation speed, it could also amplify each of their soul power. It was utterly ridiculous.

If one were to speak of why Huo Yuhao had risen so quickly in the early stages, one could not avoid mentioning the outrageous existence that was Haodong Power.

But there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Every gift bestowed by "fate" had already been secretly marked with its price.

Tang San's purpose had been to make Huo Yuhao, whose cultivation speed was slow, unable to leave Wang Dong's side, allowing the two to form deep bonds through their daily cultivation and companionship.

Then, using that as a foundation, he could throw out all kinds of bait and lure Huo Yuhao step by step into the abyss.

Though it was a little regrettable to lose the cultivation accelerator known as the "Power of Hao Dong," Huo Yuhao had no intention of wanting everything.

Where there was gain, there was loss. He was not a greedy person.

Besides, didn't this prove that God King Tang's behind-the-scenes manipulation had already begun to deviate slightly?

As one deviation after another accumulated, the overall situation would be completely overturned!

Times had changed. Ever since Huo Yuhao used the Fifth Rank Soul Soothing Gu, the shackles of innate aptitude that had constrained his cultivation speed had been completely released.

Coupled with the effects of the Ice Soul Body and the Fifth Rank Hope Gu, Huo Yuhao's cultivation speed would only grow faster and faster.

For him now, this Wang Dong-brand cultivation accelerator merely added a touch of icing to the cake.

Even without the Power of Hao Dong, he could still rapidly raise his Soul Power Level.

Sorry, Wang Dong. Brother Hao here has already become an unprecedented, genuine cheat-level genius. I no longer need your help.

In any case, this was definitely good news.

But for Wang Dong, it might not be so friendly.

Without the support of Haodong Power, she would probably have to cultivate diligently just to keep up with the progress of the Original Work.

The gentle halo was like a mother's hand, softly caressing the delicate skin of the clouds and mist. The illusory space possessed an exceptionally moving sense of substance.

Within the towering palace of the God Realm, God King Tang San, Pure as Ice and Clean as Jade, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the endless distance.

One day in the God Realm was one year in the mortal world. This was true for every plane.

More than twenty years had passed since he ascended to the God Realm, yet ten thousand years had already passed on Douluo Continent, and the Tang Sect had declined.

Xiao Wu was right. The Tang Sect's withering was due to the advancement of the era and the plane, but he had founded it with his own hands. He truly could not bear to watch it vanish like this.

Unfortunately, as a God Realm Enforcer, he could not openly interfere with the changes of a plane.

"Ah—" The man in blue robes let out a soft sigh, a trace of faint sorrow appearing between his brows.

"If the Child of Destiny joined the Tang Sect, met someone there, and formed a bond, it would not only provide an opportunity to become a god, but accomplish several things at once. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

In his plan, the Child of Destiny's fate was supposed to intersect with the Tang Sect at this very point in time.

Yet not long ago, the Child of Destiny, who should have had countless ties to the Tang Sect, had slightly strayed from the intended script and refused to join the Tang Sect.

Was this fate's resistance?

Even with the mighty power of a God King, he could not completely control the fate of Douluo Continent.

Hopefully, everything would develop in a better direction.

"Hmph, this Planar Consciousness of Douluo Continent truly doesn't know what's good for it. It has chosen the path to death!"

Tang San reaffirmed his resolve once more.

"I can't let all my years of effort monitoring Douluo Star go to waste. It seems I need to speed up the Ten Thousand Year Plan!"

"Third Brother." At that moment, a woman in a pink dress came to Tang San's side and naturally, gently looped her arm through his.

She was none other than Tang San's wife, Xiao Wu. Her long hair was gathered into a long scorpion braid that draped softly down her back, while the cinched waist of her long dress perfectly outlined her captivating figure.

Concern appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes. "Third Brother, I haven't seen any sign of Xiao Qi in a long time. Don't know where she ran off to play again. She really makes people worry."

Naturally. Under my arrangements, Xiao Qi had already gone to Douluo Continent to gain experience.

But it was best not to let Xiao Wu know for now, lest the two of them suffer the pain of being separated.

Without revealing anything, Tang San gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Xiao Wu. Xiao Qi is just playful. She's doing very well right now."

The two of them began chatting idly.

Before long, Xiao Wu bade Tang San farewell and went out to find her close friends for a chat and to clear her mind.

Only God King Tang remained standing there in silence.

After examining the destiny trajectory of the Child of Destiny once again, he relaxed slightly.

I can only let Xiao Qi suffer a little longer. I cannot afford to miss this rising new star of Douluo. I also hope she will be satisfied with the husband her father went to such trouble to find for her.

It was merely an Injury of the Soul Fragment. All sacrifices were necessary.

Tang San's plan had already been laid out thoroughly. Before long, Xiao Qi would return safely, whole and unharmed.

So what if the Child of Destiny had not joined the Tang Sect?

Everything was under control!

As long as he entered Shrek, then everything would be beyond his control.

Besides, Xiao Qi was the daughter of Xiao Wu and himself. She had perfectly inherited their exceptional looks, and with his support from behind the scenes, taking control of some native from Douluo Continent would be as easy as turning his hand.

This was a blessing that countless people could only dream of!

Hmph, that brat is getting off too easily. No, I'll have to scrutinize him properly later and test his loyalty...

Just as Tang San indulged in thoughts of the future and refined his plans, he was horrified to discover that his connection to Douluo Continent had suddenly become faint and indistinct.

He could not even observe the Child of Destiny anymore.

His plan had instantly suffered devastating interference!

"Who is it?! Just who is it?!"

Tang San's eyes nearly split open, his face twisted in fury.

"Could it be Destruction, that short-sighted, stubbornly conservative fool?"

Tang San's mind raced as he listed every possible enemy.

"Hmph, whoever it is, don't let me find you. You dared to interfere with and ruin this God King's Ten Thousand Year Plan—you Already Has the Path to Death!!"

After raging helplessly for a while, Tang San slowly regained his composure.

At this moment, he was neither the lofty God King nor the cold and merciless God Realm Enforcer. He was merely a father worried about his daughter.

No, I must first conceal the Divine Consciousness within Xiao Qi. It cannot be discovered by the enemy lurking in the shadows again. This is a crucial trump card and must be saved for the right moment. The little Divine Power that remains cannot be wasted...

There will be another update today. I'll post it later.
