While Shrek Academy was bustling with noise and excitement, the images on the Sky Curtain continued to play.

"That Tang San is truly detestable. He was clearly the previous Child of Destiny of our world, and it was only with the help of the World Will that he managed to become a god!"

"Not only is he ungrateful, but he also spent ten thousand years secretly laying out plans, attempting to completely control the Douluo Continent and turn it into the Tang Family's private backyard!"

The girl in blue curled her lips in disdain and said, "What an ungrateful wretch, impossible to tame."

"Indeed! By comparison, our Yu Tong is so much better!"

The Imperial Robed Man nodded, feeling a touch of sentiment.

"Brother Tian, you really do dote on little sister Yu Tong!" the girl in blue said, sounding a bit jealous.

"Yu Tong had a pitiful upbringing. Her father never valued her, and her mother passed away from illness when she was still young."

A flicker of pity crossed the eyes of the Imperial Robed Man. "You are her older sister; how can you be jealous of your own younger sister?"

"Why don't you mention that little sister Yu Tong grew up by your side since you were both children!"

The girl in blue rolled her eyes, seemingly accustomed to this emotional appeal. "Besides, wasn't little sister Yu Tong's mother already resurrected by you long ago?"

To this, the Imperial Robed Man could only offer a sheepish smile.

Child of Destiny?

Yu Tong?

Resurrection?

These seemingly unrelated terms left everyone wide-eyed.

So, the legendary Child of Destiny truly existed!

Tang San, who became a god ten thousand years ago, was the Child of Destiny of that generation.

And this generation's Child of Destiny—or rather, Daughter of Destiny—was actually a girl named Yu Tong!

Even more incredible was that the person in the Sky Curtain had not only won over the Daughter of Destiny but also possessed the miraculous power of resurrection.

Star Luo Empire, Imperial Palace.

"Daughter of Destiny, find her... find her for me!"

Xu Jiawei's breathing hitched for a few seconds. His eyes gleamed with intensity, and he said excitedly, "As long as we have Xiao Tian and this Daughter of Destiny, our Star Luo Empire..."

"Yu Tong, a girl, grew up together since childhood!"

Wang Xian'er's eyes flickered slightly. She turned her head and asked Gu Tian gently, "Xiao Tian, do you know a little girl named Yu Tong?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present turned their gaze toward Gu Tian.

"I do not know the person."

Facing everyone's stares, Gu Tian shook his head with a calm expression.

"I see!"

Wang Xian'er nodded with a smile and said to Xu Jiawei, "If I am not mistaken, the girl named Yu Tong is highly likely to be right here in Star Luo City, and she belongs to a Noble Family."

"That is my thought as well."

After saying this, Xu Jiawei turned to his Confidant and ordered, "Pass down the order: within one day, search through every noble household in Star Luo City, big or small. Pay special attention to those girls who are not held in high regard. You must find the girl named Yu Tong."

"As you command."

The Confidant quickly departed.

The crowd's attention shifted back to the Sky Curtain.

Meanwhile, Gu Tian frowned, lost in deep thought.

If one were to speak only of the name Yu Tong, he truly did not know who the person was.

After all, no female character with the name Yu Tong had ever appeared in the original work.

But if he added the keywords—not valued by her father, mother passed away from illness, and Child of Destiny—he might have already guessed the answer.

It was just that this answer was something Gu Tian found hard to accept.

The dignified future God of Emotion, one of the twelve God Kings who ruled the Great God Circle, the Tang Family's dog... son-in-law Huo Yuhao had turned into a girl!

This was simply outrageous!

Gu Tian looked up at the light curtain in the sky. He was extremely curious whether Huo Yuhao, that super-powered cheater, had really turned into a little girl.

Inside the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

"Yu Tong, I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before."

A mature woman dressed in luxurious attire looked at the Sky Curtain. She felt that the name Yu Tong was somewhat familiar, yet she couldn't recall where she had heard it.

She was the mistress of this White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the legal wife of the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, and hailed from the Zhu Family of the Hell Spirit Cat clan.

"Could it be her?"

Just then, the image of a little girl suddenly surfaced in the White Tiger Duchess's mind.

"That's not right. As a Child of Destiny just like Lord Sea God Tang San from ten thousand years ago, how could her Innate Soul Power be only level one?"

After just a moment, she dismissed the thought: "Why should I worry about a piece of trash with only level one Innate Soul Power?"

At the same time, a timid little girl stared at the content on the Sky Curtain, frozen in place.

Yu Tong?

Could it be her?

However, the little girl quickly shook her head in self-deprecation, feeling that she was being overly sentimental.

Her Innate Soul Power was only level one; she found it difficult even to reach level ten. How could she possibly be the legendary Child of Destiny?

The scene on the Sky Curtain shifted.

A young girl appeared before everyone's eyes.

She had a beautiful face, with a waterfall of hair cascading behind her shoulders. Her skin was fair and delicate, and a vertical eye rested on her forehead, as if it contained the profound truths of heaven and earth.

If there was one thing most striking about this girl, it was her eyes.

She possessed double pupils—one rose-gold, one purple-gold—shining as brilliantly as the stars.

"Boom--"

Under the gaze of the masses, the image froze at this moment.

[Huo Yutong--]

[Consort Huo of the Star Luo Empire, founder of the Spirit Soul System, Minister of the Spirit Communication Department, God of Emotion.]

[Originally named Dai Yutong, the illegitimate daughter of the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao of the Star Luo Empire, who lived a life of hardship from a young age.]

[She failed to awaken the Evil Eye White Tiger of the White Tiger lineage, awakening the Spirit Eye Martial Soul instead, with an Innate Soul Power of only level one!]

[This caused the White Tiger Duchess to bully Huo Yuhao and his mother even more unscrupulously!]

[During the darkest time of her life, she met him, and from then on, she received a redemption she had never known before!]

This time was different from before. As those lines of dazzling golden text appeared, the scene changed accordingly.

A gorgeously dressed child directed several guards to beat a pitiful little girl.

A beautiful woman, looking somewhat haggard, shielded the beaten child beneath her in a panic.

Yet, the gorgeously dressed child showed no intention of stopping; instead, he laughed loudly and ordered the guards to continue.

The images flashed by rapidly.

The haggard, beautiful woman eventually died in bed.

She left behind only a little girl, who wept silently by the bedside.

It was a truly heartbreaking sight.

"Brother Dai, you are truly wise your whole life, only to be foolish for a moment!"

Xu Jiawei's eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth curling upward as he made no effort to hide his schadenfreude.

When he first saw that the Daughter of Destiny, Huo Yutong, was the daughter of Huo Hao, he had been startled.

As the most unstable factor within the Star Luo Empire, the White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao, was someone Xu Jiawei naturally did not want to see prosper.

No matter how little Huo Yutong was valued, the blood of the Dai Family still flowed through her veins; she was Dai Hao's daughter.

But with her mother dying in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the situation was entirely different.

For Huo Yutong, the moment her mother died, the White Tiger Dai Family had transformed from kin into enemies.

Even if that was only in the future and had not yet come to pass, the rift in her heart had already appeared, and it would not be so easily mended.
