"I hadn't expected it either."
Ah Yin smiled softly, lightly gathering a wisp of emerald-green light at her fingertips. The level of life contained within it far surpassed that of an ordinary Blue Silver Emperor.
"The Ultimate Life Attribute Xiao Shan gave me meant that even against Qian Xunji's Sacred Angelic Light, I was not at a disadvantage in the slightest."
"Hmph, that bastard Qian Xunji."
At the mention of that name, a cold, disdainful gleam flashed through Tang Hao's eyes.
"If Xiao Shan hadn't granted me the Ultimate Power of Destruction back then, which could completely suppress the Angel Martial Soul, it wouldn't have been so easy to severely wound the three of them.
In that battle, my wife and I joined forces and beat Qian Xunji, Ju Huaguan, and Old Ghost into a miserable rout. What a thrill that was!"
"Unlike me in that world..."
Tang Hao glanced at the screen on the Left Side and shook his head.
"I could only rage helplessly, and in the end, I had to rely on my wife's Sacrifice just to cling to life."
"Xiao Shan truly was the best gift Heaven gave us."
The husband and wife held each other tightly, their hearts filled with gratitude toward their son.
It was Tang Shan's birth that had rewritten the tragedy, allowing their family of three to sit here openly and honorably as they did now.
Enjoying the admiration of the world.
Instead of hiding from place to place like rats in a gutter.
Pope's Palace Viewing Platform · Other Side of the VIP Section
Unlike the warm relief felt by the Clear Sky Sect family.
Dugu Bo, the "Poison Douluo" seated on the other side, was also filled with shock and emotion as he watched the scene on the Heavenly Screen with his green eyes.
"I truly never expected this..."
Dugu Bo stroked the beard on his chin and clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Though I had long known that Little Monster was an existence that defied common sense.
I never expected that he had been so legendary from the very moment of his birth.
Ultimate Life and Ultimate Destruction...
No wonder he could so easily resolve the Bilin Snake Poison within my body back then."
Before this, even Dugu Bo, an ally of the Clear Sky Sect, had learned these hidden details about Tang Shan's birth for the first time.
Beside Dugu Bo sat Dugu Yan, with her short dark-purple hair and heroic bearing.
Yet her beautiful eyes did not linger long on that bloody battlefield.
Instead, they crossed the crowd, gazing enraptured and lovingly at Tang Shan, who sat in the seat of honor with the aloofness of a deity.
"As expected of Xiao Shan..."
Dugu Yan clasped her hands over her heart, her cheeks faintly flushed as she spoke with undisguised admiration and adoration.
"He was already so extraordinary at birth. No wonder he awakened Twin God-Tier Spirits at the age of six!
Looking across all of history, only Brother Shan could go from a Soul Master to a Level 99 Limit Douluo in just eight short years!
He was simply an unparalleled genius, without precedent and never to be surpassed!"
Seeing his granddaughter's lovestruck expression, Dugu Bo smiled helplessly yet indulgently.
How could he fail to see through Dugu Yan's feelings?
His granddaughter had long since given her heart to Tang Shan.
Unfortunately, that Little Monster Tang Shan was nothing less than a cultivation maniac.
Apart from cultivating, he was always stirring up major events. He seemed not to have awakened to matters of romance yet.
Besides, he had been rather young in the past.
Though Yan Yan was spirited and bold by nature, she always became shy before Tang Shan and did not dare take the initiative to break through that final barrier.
As a result, their relationship remained stuck in that awkward state of being more than friends but less than lovers.
"Ah, if Yan Yan could truly end up with that Little Monster, I'd wake up laughing even in my dreams."
Dugu Bo sighed inwardly, then turned his gaze back toward Tang Shan as his thoughts drifted to several years ago.
That year, Tang Shan had only just turned six.
It had been a bright, sunny afternoon. Dugu Bo had been leisurely basking in the sun beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes in Sunset Forest.
Then, three terrifying Titled Douluo auras descended from the sky, nearly scaring him into having his martial soul shatter on the spot!
When he nervously looked up, he saw six-year-old Tang Shan standing in the center.
On the left was the murderous Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, and on the right was the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin, radiating boundless life energy.
Behind them stood the Howling Sky Douluo Tang Xiao, as imposing as a towering mountain!
Three Titled Douluo!
Accompanying a six-year-old child!
They had directly blocked him at his own doorstep!
At the time, half of Dugu Bo's heart went cold. His mind was filled with the thought, My life is over. He thought the Clear Sky Sect had come to kill him for treasure and wipe out his entire family.
Yet unexpectedly, Tang Shan, that little boy who was only waist-high to him, stepped forward with an utterly harmless smile and said:
"Poison Douluo, don't be nervous.
My family came here not to harm you. We only want to discuss a deal with you."
"I want to trade a method that will completely solve the Bilin Snake Poison backlash of the Dugu Family for ownership of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes."
"Of course, although the land will belong to me, you and your granddaughter may return here to cultivate anytime you need to. You may take whatever herbs you wish."
Dugu Bo had been dumbfounded after hearing this. Though he doubted what a six-year-old child could possibly know about detoxification.
When he looked at the three menacing Titled Douluo behind Tang Shan, ready to draw their hammers at any moment.
Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not have dared utter a single word of refusal!
He could only agree through gritted teeth.
But what Dugu Bo never expected was that this would turn out to be the most profitable deal of his entire life!
Tang Shan not only possessed unfathomable medical skills and truly helped him completely eradicate the poisonous backlash that had plagued his family for generations.
He even caused Dugu Bo's Soul Power, which had been stagnant for years, to break through in an instant, directly reaching Level 92!
Afterward, he generously gifted Dugu Bo an immortal herb called the Bilin Seven Absolute Flower.
It allowed the quality of his martial soul to evolve once more, causing both his Soul Power and potential to soar!
Only a few short years had passed, yet the "Poison Douluo," once at the bottom among Titled Douluo, had become a renowned Level 96 Super Douluo!
All of this had been bestowed by that young man.
"Twin God-Tier Spirits, a Limit Douluo in eight years..."
Dugu Bo looked at the Heavenly Screen, his expression complicated.
"So the root of it all had already been decided from the moment he was born."
[Comparison Continues!]
[Comparison Event Two: Childhood Life!]
The scene on the Heavenly Screen shifted again.
On the screen of the Left Side [Original World], the sky after the storm had not cleared. It remained gray and gloomy, carrying an oppressive air.
[Original World · Holy Spirit Village]
In the scene, Tang Hao carried the still-swaddled Tang San as he staggered into a peaceful, tranquil little village.
At this time, Tang Hao had long since lost his former majesty.
Tang Hao was unshaven, his eye sockets deeply sunken. His tattered black robe was stained with mud and wine.
His eyes were so empty that he resembled nothing more than a walking corpse.
Only when he looked at the frail infant in his arms did an extraordinarily complex glimmer flash in the depths of his eyes—
Pain, guilt, and a trace of barely perceptible hatred.
At the village entrance, an elderly man leaning on a cane, vigorous despite his age, blocked his path.
It was Old Jack, the village chief of Holy Spirit Village.
