Tang San Puts on the Mask of Agony

Regarding the content and format of his own "Future Film," Huo Yuhao thought it over carefully and ultimately decided to broadcast it in the style of the What If...? series he had seen in his past life.

That meant establishing an observer independent of all things, then using that observer's perspective to broadcast "different futures in the Multiverse" to the Douluo Continent.

As for whether the people of Douluo could grasp the concept of the Multiverse, or why the observer wanted them to see these things—he'd leave that to their own guesses and imaginations.

For the first "Future Film," Huo Yuhao decided to adapt the story of Dark Doctor Strange, fix his mother Huo Yun'er's love-brain, and see if he could conjure up a Time Gem while he was at it.

The moment the Heavenly Screen enveloped the entire Douluo Star, Sea God Tang San, who had been intensely peeping at Huo Yuhao from the God Realm, furrowed his brow.

One second ago, he was still gloating that Huo Yuhao had joined the Tang Sect and his Dog Training Plan was on track; the next, the entire Douluo Star was shrouded in a hazy light screen, and he couldn't see a thing.

What was going on? Was some god in the God Realm meddling? Or had the Douluo Star Will sensed something wrong and was trying to save itself?

Tang San's face twisted as he muttered to himself, "This Son of Destiny must be secured. No one can stop my plan—this is my only chance..."

"Your only chance? Tang San, what are you mumbling about over here?"

A deep, bold female voice rang out from behind Tang San, startling him.

"You're not scheming behind my back again, are you?"

A burly figure approached from behind, casting a shadow that enveloped Tang San.

A fan-shaped spectrum of fear, hatred, disgust, and guilt flickered across Tang San's eyes before he plastered on a standard sunny smile, turned to face the figure, and gazed at her with feigned affection: "How could that be? I was just homesick and took a moment to check on the Douluo Continent."

"Better not be up to anything. I haven't settled the score with you yet for messing around with that sword-wielding Butterfly God and siring that bastard child!" The newcomer snorted coldly.

Tang San's face contorted for an instant, his voice trembling slightly: "Banban, my love for you is as clear as the heavens. I know you don't like Xiao Tong, so I've already sent her down to the mortal world, just so you wouldn't have to see her and get upset..."

"Is that so? Then I'll have to reward you properly." The goddess, with a burly build and a square face, shook her jowls, grinned savagely, and grabbed Tang San by the scruff of the neck: "Come on, let's go inside!"

Hearing this, Tang San immediately put on his Mask of Agony, his fake smile crumbling: "Wait... wait, something's wrong with the Douluo Star. As the Enforcement God, I have to figure this out immediately. There's no time..."

"Enforcement God? Tang San, don't forget, I'm the Asura Sword Scabbard—only with me do you become the Asura God. Your top priority right now is to sheath the Divine Sword, so I can cooperate with you, understand?" The goddess named Banban glared at Tang San with a threatening look.

Tang San fell silent, then his body went limp as he chose to endure: "I understand."

While Sea God Tang San was off "driving a tank" in the God Realm, the beings of the Douluo Star were in an uproar over the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Screen.

At Shrek Academy, Mu En, who had been lounging in the sun beneath the new student dormitory, stared solemnly at the screen spanning the sky. His hunched back, bent for years, nearly straightened.

Shrek seemed prosperous on the surface, but in truth, he was the only Limit Douluo left, and he was already halfway in the grave. Every time he took action, it drained his dwindling lifespan.

If a major upheaval struck the continent now, this First Academy, passed down for ten thousand years, would be in danger!

Before Mu En's worries could linger, figures shot through the air toward the academy.

The Titled Douluo stationed at the Sea God Pavilion, along with Shrek City Lord Shi Xing, all gathered before Mu En, led by a disheveled old man.

Many of them had tested the Heavenly Screen in the sky, but they found nothing—it was as if the entire screen was an intangible illusion.

But what illusion could withstand the power of so many Titled Douluo without a scratch?

This boundless screen, impervious even to the continent's peak forces, left them no choice but to link it to the gods. They hurried to find Mu En, Shrek's Pillar of the Sky, to see if he could come up with a plan.

Watching the panicked crowd, Mu En sighed inwardly but kept his composure, speaking calmly: "Let's watch for now. Whatever happens, we'll be prepared."

Seeing Mu En's unruffled demeanor, the Shrek People let some of their anxiety ease.

Mu En, the Pillar of Heaven propping up Shrek, had never let them down. No matter how great the upheaval, as long as he was there, Shrek's sky wouldn't fall!

Meanwhile, nearly identical turmoil erupted across the Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun Moon Empire. Neither Soul Tools nor the Soul Skills of Titled Douluo could touch the screen covering heaven and earth.

This was undoubtedly the work of a god! There was no way mortals could achieve this—even combining all the experts and top-tier Soul Tool technology from the Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun Moon Empire couldn't create a screen covering the entire continent and ocean!

After reaching this conclusion, whether they liked it or not, people had to quiet down, preparing for major changes while watching what the mysterious being calling itself "The Watcher" on the Heavenly Screen had to say.

The same went for the Human World, as well as the top Soul Beasts on the continent and in the seas.

Within the vast Heavenly Screen, the voice calling itself The Watcher rang out again, speaking slowly.

["In many different futures, Huo Yuhao starts his Path to Godhood by leaving the White Tiger Duke Mansion with his mother."

"In those futures, his growth experiences vary, but most end well—he successfully becomes a god, bringing his lover, family, and mentors to ascend to the God Realm and share in eternity."

"But in this future, a small change occurs in Huo Yuhao's mother's thoughts..."]

Accompanied by The Watcher's narration, different scenes flashed across the Heavenly Screen. The content was largely the same: a heroic youth, accompanied by various figures, facing the God Realm Reception Light.

Then, those glorious ascension scenes vanished one by one, leaving only one ordinary image.

It showed a lavishly dressed child ordering several guards to beat up another child.

A haggard young woman rushed forward in panic, shielding the beaten child with her body, but the lavishly dressed child ordered them to be beaten together.

The scene was heartbreaking. The child in fine clothes, ordering the beating, looked especially detestable.

But among the countless Audience watching the Heavenly Screen, most were fixated on the glorious ascension scenes that had flashed by earlier.

To the people of this world, becoming a god was no mere legend.

The legend of the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils becoming gods had been passed down for ten thousand years, and the existence of powers like the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, and Shrek Academy was solid proof.

Yet in the ten thousand years since, countless geniuses and heroes had risen, but they could only shine for a moment—no one had ever again reached that supreme God Seat.

Now, in the Heavenly Screen, someone is seen defying Heaven to become a god—how could the World not be shaken and filled with longing?

Most importantly, the narration from The Watcher in the Heavenly Screen has already made it clear: this god-making figure hails from the White Tiger Duke Mansion! Moreover, many have spotted familiar faces in the fleeting images!

What does this mean?

If what the Heavenly Screen says is true, then No Doubt, the one who will become a god is in this generation! In a future within reach!

He must be found!!!
