Once it was certain that Huo Yuhao would definitely join Shrek Academy, Xuan Zi looked at Huo Yuhao in the Heavenly Screen and found the boy more pleasing the longer he watched him. Everything about him was an advantage.
However, the Heavenly Screen did not continue showing Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei getting along. Instead, the scene shifted to another strange realm.
[Soft halos drifted alongside mist. In this strange space, where neither sun nor moon could be seen yet everything remained bright, a tall figure with sea-blue hair hanging to his feet stood amid the clouds and fog. It was none other than Sea God Tang San.
His blue eyes, resembling a whirlpool in the deep sea, gazed down at the lower world. The reflection of a boy appeared in his pupils.
"Heh..." As he watched Huo Yuhao getting along amicably with Tang Ya and Bei Bei below, Tang San suddenly let out a contemptuous snort.
"Douluo Star Will... Even after reaching this point, you still refuse to give up?"
"Back then, in order to oppose me and weaken my influence, you went so far as to cause a huge upheaval and crash Sun Moon Continent into Douluo Continent, even destroying my Sea God Island. While you were at it, you used the Soul Tool System to suppress my Tang Sect."
"Now, you even gave birth to this Son of Destiny. A Million Year Soul Beast as his First Soul Ring, and an Otherworld God King Remnant Soul as well. That's the future teacher you prepared for him, right? You want to cultivate a God King to oppose me?"
A dark sneer appeared on Tang San's face. "What a pity... I still came out on top. Your schemes were exposed long ago by my world-shaking wisdom! From the moment he joined the Tang Sect, my dog leash was already fastened around his neck."
"In the future, his opportunities and his destiny will all become the kindling that allows the Tang Sect to flourish once more! They will become stepping stones for me, Tang San, to ascend further into the God King Realm!"
"Since you refuse to wait obediently for death and insist on making a futile struggle, then watch. Watch me crush your hopes!"
"Watch as I slowly train the Son of Destiny you placed such high hopes in into an obedient dog who listens to my every word!"
"Heh heh heh, hahahahaha..."
In the end, Tang San could not help laughing loudly.
At that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out from nearby. "Tang San, what are you laughing about?"
Tang San's laughter abruptly stopped. He silently turned around and said indifferently, "Nothing. I just remembered something happy. Destruction, what brings you here?"
God of Destruction, whose entire body radiated Destructive Aura, said coldly, "I came to see whether you had illegally interfered with the lower world."
Tang San's expression turned displeased. "Destruction, as a God Realm Enforcer, how could I illegally interfere with the lower world? That is slander!"
"When I ascended back then, I did not even bring my most respected teacher to the Divine Realm. My beloved brother, the Phoenix God, begged me to bring his Lover up here, and I still refused without hesitation, all so I would not violate the laws and rules of the Divine Realm. How could I knowingly break the law now?"
God of Destruction snorted coldly. "You'd better be as righteous as you claim. I know you've been keeping an eye on Douluo Star in recent years. You'd better not let me catch evidence of you interfering in the Mortal World, or I'll make sure you suffer the consequences!"
"Douluo Star is where I was born. It is my homeland. What's wrong with paying it a little attention? Destruction, your prejudice against me is too great!"
Tang San met God of Destruction's gaze without the slightest trace of guilt and said, "You are an Enforcer, and so am I. I am not your subordinate. You'd better not speak to me in that tone."
"Hmph! I'll be watching you!" God of Destruction snorted coldly, swept his sleeve, and left.
The moment God of Destruction turned away, Tang San clenched both fists. His eyes reddened, and he panted heavily as he stared at God of Destruction's back and muttered, "Trying to interfere with my Ten Thousand Year Plan? Destruction, you're courting dea—"
Before he could finish speaking, God of Destruction, who had already gone some distance away, suddenly turned around.
Tang San abruptly shut his mouth, instantly switching back to his calm and indifferent appearance with his hands behind his back.
God of Destruction stared at Tang San for several more seconds before withdrawing his gaze. His figure vanished into the clouds and mist.]
The next moment, the scene in the Heavenly Screen changed again, returning to Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and Tang Ya.
But by then, no one on the continent had the slightest interest in watching Huo Yuhao learn the Tang Sect Secret Arts in the Heavenly Screen.
That brief scene from the Divine Realm earlier had been like a nuclear bomb, directly igniting the emotions of countless people across Douluo Continent.
Far too much information had been revealed in that short scene, leaving people unable to take it all in.
The Douluo Star beneath their feet actually had a will of its own!
For some unknown reason, Sea God Tang San actually wanted to harm Douluo Star Will, provoking its fierce resistance!
The collision between Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent back then had actually been deliberately caused by Douluo Star Will in order to weaken the Sea God's influence and power!
Huo Yuhao was actually the Child of Destiny upon whom Douluo Star Will had placed its highest hopes!
The existence that had burrowed into Huo Yuhao's mind was actually a God King Remnant Soul, a teacher specially prepared for Huo Yuhao by Douluo Star Will!
According to Sea God Tang San, Douluo Star Will intended to send Huo Yuhao straight to the God King Realm! A realm even Tang San, who had become a god ten thousand years ago, had yet to reach!
If not for the malice revealed by Sea God Tang San, Huo Yuhao would undoubtedly have become the most Envied Jealousy Hated person in Douluo Continent's history at that moment.
Yet this youth favored by Heaven's Will had been targeted by a lofty god before he had even grown up. The god wanted to seize his destiny and opportunities, and train him into a dog!
It was an oppression and darkness powerful enough to make people suffocate.
An unknown number of Douluo Continent's people had seen their Worldview shattered.
That was Sea God Tang San! In legends spanning ten thousand years, he had always been a Righteous God of lofty status! He was the Great Being who had defeated the evil Spirit Hall Empire and saved the entire continent.
Yet in the Heavenly Screen, he had actually revealed such an abhorrent face!
Had Tang San fallen after becoming a god as time changed him, or had his true nature always been like this?
If he had always been this evil, then what sort of beings were the other gods who stood with him?
Had the Spirit Hall Empire they defeated ten thousand years ago truly been evil?
One question after another appeared in the minds of everyone on the continent as the Sea God's evil face was exposed in the Heavenly Screen.
Among all those whose Worldviews had been shaken, the ones least able to accept the Sea God's evil image in the Heavenly Screen were naturally the Sea God's believers and worshippers.
Ever since Sun Moon Continent came crashing over several thousand years ago, turning Sea God Island into part of Ming Dou Mountain Range, and the Tang Sect subsequently declined, faith in the Sea God had gradually begun to collapse across Douluo Continent.
Although Shrek Academy remained a massive point of publicity and had helped somewhat preserve people's faith in and reverence for the Sea God,
the age when the Sea God became a god was simply too far in the past. Most people on Douluo Continent felt some goodwill and a certain amount of respect toward the Sea God, but that was all.
