The Star Luo Emperor, the Master of the Sea God Pavilion, and the Lord of Soul Beasts Were All the Same Person!

On a towering, rugged mountain somewhere in the Heaven Dou Empire, nearly three of its sides rose vertically, like cliffs carved by blades.

Hidden behind the summit was a huge castle built atop the peak. Three large characters were carved above its arched gate: "Clear Sky Fort."

Atop the tallest building.

Two men stood there, looking up at the images on the Sky Curtain.

Below them lay a sea of clouds. Far away, a bottomless cliff completely cut Clear Sky Sect off from the outside world.

The scenery here was beautiful, but the two men had no mind to admire it.

The man in front had long green hair cascading over his broad, imposing shoulders. His seemingly unremarkable eyes possessed a special quality that was difficult to describe.

It was as if the powerful aura within him were barely being held in check.

The other man was extraordinarily burly, with close-cropped hair as stiff as steel needles. His resolute face looked as though it had been carved with a knife and chisel.

The gray robe he wore could not fully conceal his bulging, powerful muscles.

These two men were Niu Tian, the Clear Sky Sect's First Sect Master, and Tai Tan, its Second Sect Master.

They also had another identity: the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, transformed into human form.

They had once sacrificed themselves for Sea God Tang San. Tang San had revived them by some unknown means and stationed them at Clear Sky Sect.

In recent years, they had also taken on a new task: looking after Tang San and Xiao Wu's daughter, who had come to Douluo Continent to gain experience.

"The Star Luo Emperor, the Master of the Sea God Pavilion!"

Niu Tian's expression gradually grew grave. "The new Lord of Soul Beasts!"

That string of titles on the Sky Curtain was simply too outrageous.

The earlier ones were still acceptable, but when he saw "the new Lord of Soul Beasts," Niu Tian froze in place.

As one of the former rulers of Star Dou Great Forest's core region, his true strength had ranked him among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts. Naturally, he had come into contact with Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts.

He knew very well that even Di Tian, Beast God and ruler of the entire Star Dou Great Forest, wasn't qualified to call himself the Lord of Soul Beasts. There seemed to be an even more powerful presence behind that title.

"Big Brother, how could a human become the Lord of Soul Beasts?"

Tai Tan scratched his head, baffled. "Would Di Tian and the others agree to it?"

"Who knows?"

Niu Tian shook his head, his words carrying an implied meaning. "That thing in the sky seems to be foretelling what will happen in the future. Even he probably couldn't wield such power!"

"He..."

Thinking of that increasingly unfamiliar man, Tai Tan fell silent.

A girl in a blue dress came running up behind them.

She had soft, fair skin, large pink-and-blue eyes, long curled eyelashes, and a slender figure. A cascade of wavy pink-and-blue hair fell down her back.

Though she was only around six or seven, it was already clear that she would grow into a peerless beauty.

"Daddy, Second Daddy..."

The girl lifted her head slightly and happened to see the Sky Curtain high above. Her eyes widened at once.

Uniting the entire continent and bringing humans and Soul Beasts to live in peace!

The Star Luo Emperor, the Master of the Sea God Pavilion, the Lord of Soul Beasts!

Could anyone really accomplish all of that?

"Daddy, Second Daddy, is all that true?"

Pointing at the Light Screen in the sky, the innocent girl looked at Niu Tian and Tai Tan.

"Dong'er, we don't know whether that thing in the sky is real. But if everything shown on the Sky Curtain is true..."

"Then Douluo Continent's future is likely to undergo unprecedented changes."

Niu Tian patted the girl's adorable little head. "So don't be mischievous, Dong'er. Until things become clear, stay obediently at Clear Sky Sect!"

"Big Brother..."

Hearing this, Tai Tan was about to say something, but Niu Tian stopped him with a look.

"Got it, Daddy." Wang Dong'er blinked her beautiful eyes.

Truth be told, Wang Dong'er didn't feel strongly about Douluo Continent's future.

After all, she was only a six-year-old girl.

What was more, she had no memories from before the age of five.

Watching the figure seated high on the throne in the Sky Curtain, Wang Dong'er was filled with curiosity.

She wondered what kind of person could accomplish such an incredible series of feats.

When a girl became intensely curious about a man, she wasn't far from falling for him.

In a courtyard somewhere in the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Ponds lined both sides of the banks, filled with lotus flowers in full summer bloom. Flecks of green and touches of pink made the summer colors across the water all the more vivid.

Inside a pavilion.

Staring at the figure on the Sky Curtain, Gu Tian stood frozen.

Wasn't that person himself?

For a moment, Gu Tian's expression turned strange.

In the future, he would become the Star Luo Emperor, the Master of the Sea God Pavilion, and the new Lord of Soul Beasts. He would also unite all of Douluo Continent and bring humans and Soul Beasts to live in peace.

This... was wrong in so many ways.

Was Gu Tian the sort of person who repaid kindness with betrayal?

The Star Luo Empire had not only given Gu Tian a fiancée, but had also brought him, a lone outsider, to the Star Luo Imperial Palace and sent a Titled Douluo to hunt Soul Rings for him. The treatment he received had been beyond anything he could have imagined.

It was worth mentioning that the famous princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire was now Gu Tian's fiancée.

Though they hadn't even held an engagement ceremony yet.

Under these circumstances, how could Gu Tian possibly usurp the throne?

Besides, he had no interest in being emperor!

As for becoming the Master of the Sea God Pavilion, that was even less likely. Shrek Academy was Tang San's territory, and Xuan Zi, the "Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder," was there too.

Gu Tian would stay as far away as possible.

Just how badly had his future self lost his mind to choose to study at Shrek Academy, then work his way up to become the Master of the Sea God Pavilion?

To be honest, Gu Tian couldn't understand how his future self could hold both the positions of Master of the Sea God Pavilion and Star Luo Emperor at the same time.

And the new Lord of Soul Beasts was even more absurd.

Gu Tian wanted to ask his future self what he had done to the previous Lord of Soul Beasts, Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.

Surely he hadn't given up the position of Lord of Soul Beasts just because he had brought humans and Soul Beasts to live in peace?

Gu Yuena couldn't be that irresponsible, could she?

At that thought, Gu Tian suddenly felt uncertain.

After all, Silver Dragon King, one of the Dragon God's Clones, had been rather unreliable in the Original Work.

As the Lord of Soul Beasts, she had always wanted to change their plight, but had never taken action.

After leaving Star Dou Great Forest, she had thrown herself into romance, becoming a hopeless romantic through and through!

Tang San might have schemed against her, but Gu Yuena was still a half-step God King.

And at the time, the Douluo God Realm had been swept into a black hole by a space-time turbulence.

As a result, Tang San's control over Douluo Continent had fallen to an unprecedented low.

So Gu Yuena couldn't shift the blame for this.

"Just how did I manage to do all this!?" A strange glint flickered in Gu Tian's eyes.

After all, this was the Peerless Tang Sect era, and the lofty God King Tang San was watching over everything.

What Gu Tian would do in the future should have threatened Tang San's interests.

Even if Tang San couldn't act directly because of God of Destruction, he could still use other contingencies he had planted on Douluo Continent.

But if that were the case, Shrek Academy should have been under his influence too.

How had Gu Tian, a thorn in Tang San's side, become the Master of the Sea God Pavilion with Shrek Academy's power in his hands?

At the same time, he was also curious about how much his future self would change this world.

"Perhaps only you can give me an answer!"
