The Star Luo Emperor, Master of the Sea God Pavilion, Lord of Soul Beasts—It's Actually the Same Person!

On a towering, precipitous peak somewhere in the Heaven Dou Empire, the mountain rose with three sheer cliff faces, as if carved by a blade.

Hidden behind the summit lay a massive castle built atop the peak. Above its arched gate were three large characters: "Clear Sky Fort."

Atop the tallest structure, two men stood, gazing up at the scene unfolding in the Sky Curtain.

Below them stretched a sea of clouds; beyond, a bottomless chasm isolated the Clear Sky Sect into a world apart.

The scenery was beautiful, but the two had no heart to appreciate it.

The man in front had long cyan hair draped over his broad, imposing shoulders. His seemingly unremarkable eyes held an indescribable, unique quality.

He seemed barely able to suppress the fierce aura leaking from within.

The other man was extremely burly, with short, steel-needle-like hair and a chiseled, resolute face.

His gray robe could not fully conceal his bulging, powerful muscles.

These two were Niu Tian, the Great Master of the Clear Sky Sect, and Tai Tan, the Second Master.

Beyond that, they held another identity: the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape in human form.

They had once sacrificed themselves to the Sea God Tang San, who resurrected them by some unknown means to guard the Clear Sky Sect.

In recent years, they had taken on a new task: caring for the daughter of Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had come to the Douluo Continent to train.

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

Niu Tian's expression gradually turned grave: "The new Lord of Soul Beasts!"

The string of titles in the Sky Curtain was simply too absurd.

The first few were fine, but when he saw "new Lord of Soul Beasts," Niu Tian froze in place.

As a former ruler of the core circle of the Star Dou Forest, with true strength ranking among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, he had naturally interacted with ferocious beasts like the Beast God Di Tian.

He knew well that even Di Tian, who commanded the entire Star Dou Great Forest, was not qualified to call himself the Lord of Soul Beasts—there seemed to be an even more powerful existence behind him.

"Big brother, how can a human become the Lord of Soul Beasts?"

Tai Tan scratched his head in confusion: "Would Di Tian and the others agree?"

"Who knows?"

Niu Tian shook his head, speaking with implication: "That thing in the sky seems to foretell future events. With such power, even he probably couldn't do it!"

"He..."

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

Behind them, a girl in a blue dress ran over.

Her skin was fair and tender, with big pink-blue eyes, long, curling lashes, a slender figure, and a head of wavy pink-blue hair cascading down her back.

Though only six or seven years old, she already showed signs of future breathtaking beauty.

"Big Dad, Second Dad..."

The girl looked up and caught sight of the Sky Curtain in the heavens, her eyes widening.

Unify the entire continent, promote peace between humans and soul beasts!

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

Could anyone truly achieve all these feats?

"Big Dad, Second Dad, is all that real?"

The girl pointed at the Light Screen in the sky, looking innocently at Niu Tian and Tai Tan.

"Dong'er, we don't know if that thing in the sky is real or not, but if all the information in the Sky Curtain is true..."

"I'm afraid the future landscape of the Douluo Continent will undergo unprecedented upheaval."

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

"Big brother..."

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

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

To be honest, Wang Dong'er didn't feel much about the future landscape of the Douluo Continent.

After all, at the end of the day, Wang Dong'er was just a six-year-old girl.

Not to mention, she had no memories before the age of five.

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

Curious about what kind of person could achieve such an incredible series of accomplishments.

When a girl develops a strong curiosity about a man, she's not far from falling for him.

In a certain rear courtyard of the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

On both sides of the shore were ponds filled with lotus flowers in full bloom under the summer sun, patches of green and touches of pink making the whole pond burst with summer color.

In a pavilion.

Gu Tian stared at the figure on the Sky Curtain, frozen in place.

Wasn't that person himself?

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

His future self became the Star Luo Emperor, Master of the Sea God Pavilion, the new Lord of Soul Beasts, unified the entire Douluo Continent, and promoted peaceful coexistence between humans and soul beasts.

This... was practically a minefield of absurdities.

Was Gu Tian the kind of person who would repay kindness with enmity?

The Star Luo Empire had not only given Gu Tian a fiancée but had also taken him, a solitary man, into the Star Luo Imperial Palace and sent Titled Douluo-level experts to hunt soul rings for him, treating him with unimaginable generosity.

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

Even though they hadn't even held an engagement ceremony.

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

Besides, he had no interest in being an emperor!

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

Gu Tian would definitely stay as far away as possible.

How desperate would his future self have to be to choose to study at Shrek Academy and work his way up to Master of the Sea God Pavilion?

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

As for the new Lord of Soul Beasts, that was even more absurd.

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

Surely she wouldn't have just given up the position of Lord of Soul Beasts just because he promoted peace between humans and soul beasts!

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

Thinking this, Gu Tian suddenly felt uncertain.

After all, the Silver Dragon King, one of the Dragon God's clones, had been far too unreliable in the Original Work.

As the Lord of Soul Beasts, she had always wanted to change the plight of soul beasts but never took any action.

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, she focused entirely on romance, a complete love-brain!

Perhaps Tang San's scheming played a part, but Gu Yuena was still a half-step God King-level powerhouse.

Plus, at that time, the Douluo God Realm had been pulled into a black hole by a spacetime rift.

This had reduced Tang San's control over the Douluo Continent to an unprecedented low.

So, Gu Yuena couldn't really dodge the blame.

"At the end of the day, how did I manage all of this!?" A strange glint flashed in Gu Tian's eyes.

Keep in mind, this was the Peerless Tang Sect era, with the lofty God King Tang San overseeing everything.

Everything Gu Tian's future self had done should have infringed on Tang San's interests.

Even if Tang San couldn't act directly because of the God of Destruction, he could still use other hidden cards buried on the Douluo Continent.

But if that were the case, Shrek Academy should also have his hidden cards.

How did Gu Tian, the thorn in Tang San's side, become the Master of the Sea God Pavilion, holding the reins of Shrek?

At the same time, he was curious about what changes his future self would bring to this world.

"Maybe only you can give me the answer!"
