Niu Tian looked at Tai Tan's resolute face, then at Tang Wutong now, and after a moment's thought, finally agreed, "Okay."

As God Official, they could indeed contact the Divine Realm, and of course, they could also contact Xiao Wu.

However, they need to break the seal on themselves.

According to the God Realm Laws, Niu Tian and Tai Tan should not be able to stay in the Douluo Continent for a long time, but they have stayed in the Clear Sky Sect for tens of thousands of years. The main reason is that the two of them sealed their god-level cultivation and only retained the realm of Limit Douluo.

Now, if the two want to contact Xiao Wu, only one of them can break the seal and regain their God Official status.

Tai Tan said, "Brother, let me take care of her. Xiao Wu Tong still needs your help in the Douluo Continent. It's ridiculous, really. Since we became God Official, we haven't performed a single day of divine duty. We've just stayed here in the Clear Sky Sect to guard... Never mind, let's not talk about it. Anyway, I don't want to stay in the Divine Realm. But, as God Official, it's time to go back now."

Niu Tian did not object to Tai Tan's suggestion; instead, he nodded in agreement.

He was genuinely worried about leaving Tai Tan in the Douluo Continent to look after Tang Wutong.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them entered a secret area of Haotian Fort. Tai Tan didn't dawdle and immediately released his seal, instantly reaching the Tier 10 God-level.

A white God Official Token appeared in Tai Tan's hand. He then pointed it out and sent a divine thought into it.

In just a few seconds, a white spatial passage appeared in front of the three of them, and then a pink figure leaped out.

The newcomer wore a long pink dress, had long, slender legs, a delicate and adorable face, and two small pink and white bunny ears on her head. Her jet-black hair was tied into a long scorpion braid. Who else could it be but Xiao Wu?

"Sister Xiao Wu!" Niu Tian and Tai Tan called out at the same time.

"A-Tai, A Niu, long time no see." Xiao Wu's voice was still melodious and charming, just like that cute little rabbit who used to jump around in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The next second, Xiao Wu looked at the somewhat dazed Tang Wutong, jumped over, hugged Tang Wutong, and said softly, "Xiao Qi, Mommy missed you so much. In the blink of an eye, my Xiao Qi has grown up so much."

It's only been a blink of an eye. Tang Wutong became Wang Dong'er and lived in the Douluo Continent for more than ten years, but in the Divine Realm, it was only a dozen days.

In fact, Xiao Wu had long regretted it. At the cost of losing the opportunity to accompany her daughter as she grew up, she insisted on sending her to the Douluo Continent for some kind of training. This was the worst decision she had ever made in her life.

Although it was her husband's decision to send Xiao Qi to the Douluo Continent for training, she agreed to it.

However, she never expected that the so-called training would actually be...

Xiao Wu felt waves of heartache whenever she thought about what her daughter had gone through.

She even had a fight with Tang San over this, something that had never happened before.

But what good does it do even if you argue?

Tang San was still her husband, and Tang San had always treated her very well, showing her only gentleness and tolerance.

Therefore, she couldn't really leave Tang San completely because of this; after all, she still deeply loved her husband.

Xiao Qi's situation was already a fait accompli, and she could only accept it.

However, Xiao Wu hasn't given Tang San look lately.

Just today, Xiao Wu received a message from Tai Tan, so she rushed over. Anyway, she felt that it was good to leave the Divine Realm for the time being.

As for letting Xiao Qi train on her own, Xiao Wu no longer wanted to consider it.

At this moment, Tang Wutong, who was being held tightly by Xiao Wu, suddenly felt a sense of peace in her heart.

Motherly love is a magical emotion. Even if children are anxious, they will gradually feel at ease and peaceful in their mother's arms.

Just like Tang Wutong at this moment, she gradually relaxed despite her complicated thoughts. Even though she hadn't seen this mother for many years, or rather, it was the first time she had met her, her embrace still gave her an indelible sense of familiarity and security.

She was certain that this wasn't Tang Wutong's feeling as a child, nor Wang Dong'er's feeling as a teenager, but rather a unique kind of maternal love that belonged only to her.

After the mother and daughter hugged for a long time, Tang Wutong finally choked out, "Mom."

Xiao Wu's eyes immediately reddened. Although she had only been away from her daughter for a little over ten days, her daughter hadn't seen her for over ten years.

As the saying goes, a mother and daughter are of one heart; how could Xiao Wu not notice Tang Wutong's unusual behavior at this moment?

Xiao Wu gently patted Tang Wutong's back, comforting her, "Don't be afraid, Mommy's here."

At this moment, Tang Wutong couldn't help but tear up. After a long while, she said with some difficulty, "Mom, but I'm not that six-year-old Xiao Qi anymore."

Xiao Wu immediately understood her daughter's thoughts, so she said softly, "Whether it's six-year-old Xiao Qi, sixteen-year-old Dong'er, or twenty-six-year-old Wu Tong, they are all my daughters. I know you may be a little confused right now, and even feel that neither Xiao Qi's memories nor Dong'er's memories are your experiences, but, Tongtong, from now on I will call you Tongtong, okay?"

Seeing her daughter nod slightly, Xiao Wu continued, "Don't think too much about it. You don't need to be like Xiao Qi, or Dong'er. Just be yourself. You are Tongtong, my Xiao Wu."

After hearing this, Tang Wutong hugged her mother tightly again. This was the first time someone had told her to just be herself; she was neither Xiao Qi nor Wang Dong'er.

After a long silence, Tang Wutong said sadly, "But he... he wanted me to be Dong'er."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu frowned deeply. "Him? Huo Yuhao?"

Xiao Wu is now fully aware of Wang Dong'er's experiences in the Douluo Continent, and the "he" Tang Wutong refers to could only be Huo Yuhao.

Tang Wutong nodded. "Yes, actually I also wish I were just Wang Dong'er, but I really am not. But if I'm not Wang Dong'er, and not Xiao Qi, then I can only be a Tang Wutong without a past, with nothing. But why can't this Tang Wutong let go of him?"

Xiao Wu stroked her daughter's head tenderly. She knew her daughter was stuck in a rut and couldn't get out of it for the time being, so she said, "Tongtong, you won't be left with nothing. Mom will always be with you. If you don't want those past memories, then just treat them as someone else's experience. You have a present and a future. Don't let the past trap you; it's not worth it."

After a pause, Xiao Wu continued, "As for Huo Yuhao, if he can't accept you as you are now, then forget about him. We wronged Dong'er, but Tongtong, you shouldn't be a sacrifice."

Tang Wutong fell silent. With memories etched in her mind and emotions lingering in her heart, could she really let go so easily and become a completely new person?

If she could give up so easily, she wouldn't have had to struggle with this for so many years.

You know, she and Huo Yuhao have actually been together for seven years.

Even if Wang Dong'er's memories are discarded, can she really forget what happened over the past seven years?

Seeing that her daughter didn't speak, Xiao Wu asked, "Tongtong, can't let him go?"

Tang Wutong nodded gently and replied, "Yes, I can't let go."

After thinking for a moment, Tang Wutong suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Mom, besides plotting to seize the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest, does Father also have his eye on Yu Hao? Does he want to make him his ally?"

Tang Wutong wasn't stupid; after piecing together the events of the past few years, she could guess some of the things that had happened.

After hearing Xiao Wu fell silent. She didn't know about these things before, but yesterday she met one of Rong Nianbing's wives, the God of Emotion, and so... she learned that Huo Yuhao was the current Son of Destiny Douluo Continent.

All Xiao Wu can say is that she is helpless and doesn't understand why her Third Brother became so obsessed with divine power after becoming a god.

So, faced with her daughter's question, Xiao Wu could only reply, "We'll ignore him. We'll stay at Haotian Fort from now on and won't go back. A-Tai, you don't need to go back either."

Tai Tan was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this. "... But I have already regained my status God Official. Unsealing this thing is easy, but resealing it is not so simple."

Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, you belong to the Sea God Temple. Didn't he ask you to stay and guard Haotian Fort? He already found someone to replace you in your divine duties. Otherwise, how could you have stayed in the Douluo Continent for so many years? So, you don't need to go back. Let him handle it."

Tai Tan: "..." We initially stayed behind at Haotian Fort because Tang Hao had been in seclusion here for ten thousand years, and then Xiao Qi came here too. But now, Tang Hao has run away, Xiao Qi has grown up, and you've come too. Can we still stay?

Tang Wutong didn't think too much about it. Hearing her mother say she wanted to stay, she was naturally happy. "Mom, then I won't go back to Shrek either."

She doesn't know how to face Huo Yuhao, especially with Wang Qiu'er right there.
