Atop the endless, cloud-shrouded snow -Entanglement peaks sits a magnificent ancient castle.

A stunningly beautiful girl with long, wavy blue hair gracefully landed, her expression somewhat complicated as she looked at the three large characters carved on the ancient castle— Clear Sky Sect.

The blue-haired girl was none other than Tang Wutong, who had flown back from Shrek.

Tang Wutong stood quietly in front of Haotian Fort, her mind in turmoil.

Her name is Tang Wutong, and she has known her Tang Wutong ever since she woke up.

She is the Young Master of the Clear Sky Sect, she is the little princess of the Divine Realm, and she is the daughter of God King Tang San.

She has memories of her childhood in the Divine Realm, a loving father and mother, uncles, aunts and uncles who dote on her, and even the God of Destruction, who has always been at odds with her father, has never given her a hard time.

She has memories of her childhood in the Douluo Continent, doting fathers who spoil her rotten, and all the little things she experienced growing up in Shrek. She has friends, besties, a lover, and teachers.

She had everything.

Because she is Tang Wutong from the Divine Realm, and also Wang Dong'er from Shrek.

But she is not entirely Tang Wutong from the Divine Realm, nor entirely Wang Dong'er from Shrek.

She only possesses the memories of Tang Wutong's childhood and Wang Dong'er's teenage years, but she has no memories of her own.

She's like an adult who suddenly grew up, without any intermediate process.

Therefore, in front of her father, eldest uncle, and second uncle, she played the role of Tang Wutong, but she knew that she was not really the little princess who lived in the Divine Realm before the age of six.

The little princess of the Divine Realm before the age of six is a completely different person from the one she is now, because she lost a large segment of time and memories from childhood to adulthood.

In front of Huo Yuhao, Jiang Nannan, and others, she plays the role of Wang Dong'er, but she also knows that she is not the Wang Dong'er who grows up and fights alongside these companions.

Although she always said she was Tang Wutong, when facing Huo Yuhao and the others, she still unconsciously identified with the character of Wang Dong'er.

Because Wang Dong'er was the only companion they had spent six years with day and night.

Even so, Wang Dong'er's best friend, Xiao Xiao, never accepted her and even harbored hostility towards her.

To be honest, she would rather be Wang Dong'er than Tang Wutong.

Because among all her memories, Wang Dong'er's memories are the most numerous, richest, and most wonderful. After all, Tang Wutong was very young during her childhood, and life in the Divine Realm was rather dull and monotonous, so she didn't have many memories left behind.

Therefore, Wang Dong'er's memories have always been dominant.

But she also knew perfectly well that she should be Tang Wutong, as if it were an indelible realization in her subconscious.

Every time she thinks about this, she feels like she might be having a mental breakdown, actually pondering questions like "Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?"—questions that can't possibly have correct answers.

She wasn't unaware that Huo Yuhao had always wanted her to become Wang Dong'er, but she wasn't, or rather, she wasn't simply Wang Dong'er.

She could never deceive herself about this.

As for her feelings for Huo Yuhao, sometimes in the quiet of the night, she would occasionally feel a little confused, wondering whether these feelings belonged to Wang Dong'er for Huo Yuhao, or to her for Huo Yuhao.

If this feeling is denied, does that mean the memory of Wang Dong'er doesn't belong to her? Then, does that mean the memory of the Divine Realm doesn't belong to her either, since she has no memory of growing up at all?

So, does this mean she has a blank memory?

Thinking about this, she began to feel that her thoughts were in disarray again.

Especially after meeting Wang Qiu'er again today, many questions that she had previously been unwilling to think about or investigate resurfaced in her mind.

Therefore, she flew away from Shrek and returned here.

Just as Tang Wutong was filled with a myriad of thoughts and emotions, two burly figures flashed out. One of them, a big, simple-minded man, chuckled and said, "Xiao Wu, you're back. Why didn't you come in? Did your eldest and Dad Comes and greet you?"

The one speaking was naturally the Titan Giant Ape, who used the alias Tai Tan, while the other, who looked rather refined, was the Sky Azure Bull Python, who used the alias Niu Tian.

Tang Wutong snapped out of her reverie. She really wasn't in the mood for idle chatter with her second father today, so she said directly and seriously, "Eldest Father, Second Father, I want to see Father."

For the past few years, she has been unable to contact her father, and the divine imprint in her Sea of Consciousness remains unresponsive.

However, Tang Wutong still wanted to get to the bottom of Zhou Huan's affairs and her own.

Tai Tan frowned upon hearing this and said, "Wu Tong, didn't your second father tell you before that he couldn't contact your father for the time being? You know, one day in the Divine Realm is equivalent to one year here. There's no use rushing this."

Tang Wutong took a deep breath and asked, "What about Mother? You two have such a good relationship with Mother, I don't believe she didn't give you any way to contact her."

Just as Tai Tan was about to say something, Niu Tian interrupted him, "Wu Tong, is there something very important you need to say?"

Compared to Tai Tan, a rough and unrefined man, Niu Tian was much more perceptive; he noticed that Tang Wutong seemed to be acting strangely.

Tang Wutong was silent for a moment before answering, "I just want to figure out who I really am."

Upon hearing this, Niu Tian and Tai Tan were speechless for a moment, their first thought being: So, it really was a problem with the soul fusion after all?

In fact, what they didn't know was that Tang Wutong's soul fusion was perfectly fine.

With Tang San, a God King, intervening, how could a soul fusion possibly go wrong?

The problem wasn't with the technology, but with Tang Wutong's mindset.

Tang San is very powerful; he can freely separate a person's soul and then perfectly merge them together. In the process, he even managed to seize the fortune carried by the Imperial Auspicious Beast.

But no matter how powerful Tang San is, he hasn't studied psychology.

He can perfectly merge a person's soul, but can he guarantee that the person whose soul is being separated and reunited won't develop psychological problems during this process?

If things had continued on the original trajectory, it wouldn't have been a problem. But now, Huo Gua, Jiang Nannan, and others are treating Tang Wutong as Wang Dong'er, completely refusing to accept her identity as Tang Wutong. Xiao Xiao, in particular, treats her directly as an enemy.

If it were just a day or two, it wouldn't be a big deal, but it's been several years now. With Tang Wutong being treated as Wang Dong'er for so long, her thinking will gradually become skewed, and her psychological problems will naturally accumulate and become more and more serious.

Just as Huo Gua gradually lost the ability to distinguish whether she was Wang Dong'er or Tang Wutong herself also developed problems.

Even Niu Tian and Tai Tan, two Soul Beasts, couldn't understand such psychological issues.

Therefore, Niu Heavenly Dao, "Of course you are Tang Wutong, the Xiao Wu we raised from a child."

Hearing this, Tang Wutong laughed self-deprecatingly, "Uncle, don't lie to me, and don't lie to yourself. You raised Wang Dong'er, your most beloved daughter Wang Dong'er, but am I really her?"

Seeing Tang Wutong's completely different emotions, Niu Tian finally realized the seriousness of the problem. Although he didn't understand why she was like this, he pondered for a moment and replied, "Whether you are Dong'er or not, you are our most beloved daughter."

Tang Wutong looked at Niu Tian quietly without saying a word.

At this moment, Tai Tan spoke up, "Big brother, let Wu Tong meet Sister Xiao Wu, she needs Sister Xiao Wu."
