Sea God Tang San

"Wang Dong, your forehead?"

Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the trident mark that had appeared on Wang Dong's forehead again. It was glowing too. Why did it appear every time he came into contact with Wang Dong?

"Second Father, that mark has appeared again!"

Wang Dong called for her Second Father. Er Ming appeared before them in an instant as well, his eyes flickering uncertainly as he looked at the mark.

"Er Ming, why are you here?"

An anxious voice rang out in Er Ming's mind, leaving his mind blank.

Tang San—he had returned!

"Third Brother, an anomaly occurred on the continent. Big Brother and I were worried about Dong'er's safety, so they sent me out to protect her."

"An anomaly on the continent? Could it be because of spacetime fluctuations?"

Tang San's heart stirred, but this was not the time to think about that.

"Third Brother, what exactly happened? Why haven't we been able to contact you? How is Sister Xiao Wu?"

Er Ming hurriedly asked what had happened, so he could know whether Tang San would still be able to observe Douluo Continent freely afterward.

"The God Realm has run into a minor problem, but it isn't anything serious. We simply can't communicate freely for the time being. Even now, I can only contact Douluo Continent by using a special method to connect with the contingency I left on Xiao Qi, along with the Golden Ancient Tree's power."

"As for your Sister Xiao Wu, she is perfectly fine. It's just that I'm the only one who can communicate with you right now."

Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu in his arms and ultimately offered Er Ming a reluctant reassurance.

"It's good that Sister Xiao Wu is all right."

Er Ming sighed in relief. However, hearing the impatience in Tang San's tone, he did not dare ask what had happened to his daughter.

"Er Ming, go to Sea God Island. The Sea God's divine power and a trace of my soul are left there. Go awaken me."

Tang San sensed the connection weakening by the second, while the power left within the mark was also rapidly dwindling. He quickly finished his final words before cutting off the connection in haste.

The mark quietly faded away, and Wang Dong's forehead became pristine and fair once more.

In the core region of the distant Star Dou Great Forest, Lu Wu was teaching the demons when a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.

The two watched as Er Ming suddenly fell into a daze. Wang Dong waved her hand before his eyes, only to discover that the mark had vanished on its own.

"Third Brother? Third Brother?"

Er Ming tried calling out several times in his mind. Only when he received no response did he let out a breath, his expression turning ugly.

Er Ming was furious. Wasn't this basically finding himself an uncle to lord over him? The key was that he had no choice but to do it. Er Ming felt as though he had been forced to eat shit.

"Dong'er, Yuhao, I have to go out and handle something. Are you staying at Shrek Academy, or returning to the Clear Sky Sect?"

The two stared blankly at Er Ming's abrupt change in expression. After thinking it over, they ultimately decided to remain at Shrek Academy so they would not delay Er Ming's business.

Er Ming did not say anything more. Since Tang San could communicate through the Golden Ancient Tree's power, the two youngsters would be quite safe staying at Shrek Academy.

Er Ming stormed off. He still needed to visit Sea God Pavilion. At the very least, he could not let them go to their deaths before he found Tang San. Otherwise, the entire situation would collapse. The Soul Beasts regarded him and Big Brother as traitors.

"What is going on with Second Father?"

Wang Dong asked in a daze. This was far from the first time he had changed expressions so abruptly, yet Second Father never explained the reason.

"I don't know either."

Huo Yuhao shrugged, but the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind made his face change drastically.

"It should be that the god residing within that girl said something to him."

An ancient, imposing voice echoed through the Sea of Spirit.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt that his life was simply too hard. He had been worried that Er Ming would discover his presence, so he had stayed hidden in the Sea of Spirit without daring to make a sound. He only dared exchange a few words with Huo Yuhao occasionally at night.

Yet as soon as Er Ming left, the gray bead that had remained silent all this time spoke again. That pressure was exactly like Er Ming's earlier pressure. Tian Meng trembled and did not dare speak.

"A god!"

Huo Yuhao's figure appeared here. Both man and worm cried out in alarm, only then realizing what was happening.

"That's right. This old man is merely a remnant soul residing within Yuhao. I have only barely awakened during this time by recuperating and relying on the power of heavenly treasures. Although the gods of this world should differ from those of our world, there is no doubt that the power on that girl just now was triggered by that god."

Electrolux explained.

"Yuhao, you really are heaven's chosen, a Child of Destiny!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's plump body actually sprang into the air, excitement written across his face. As expected of him—the candidate for godhood he had selected was anything but ordinary.

A first soul ring of a million years, a Limit Douluo teacher, a roommate connected to a god, a remnant soul from another world residing in his mind, and an impending second martial soul—Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could not think of any reason Huo Yuhao would fail to become a god.

"Brother Sky Dream, how am I a Child of Destiny?"

Huo Yuhao replied irritably. He had heard that everyone around a Child of Destiny would be sacrificed to the heavens. He did not want that.

"Old sir, may I ask who you are?"

Huo Yuhao still did not know the name of the remnant soul from another world before him.

"I do not have much memory left, but I vaguely recall that my title was Deathly Saint Magic God · Undead Scourge."

Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm simultaneously sucked in a sharp breath. That title did not sound like it belonged to a good person.

"Yuhao, I still need to repair my divine consciousness, so I must continue sleeping. But do not worry. No matter what happens, face it calmly. Only with great strength can one resolve so-called difficulties."

"Do not be afraid. This big worm and I will always help you from behind."

Electrolux's tone softened. He still hoped Huo Yuhao could grow up healthy.

"With sun and moon in my grasp, stars within my grasp, there is none like me beneath the heavens! Hahahahaha~"

Electrolux's voice echoed through the space before gradually fading away, leaving Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm staring at each other.

"So domineering."

"Indeed."

"But why does Wang Dong have a god residing within her?"

Huo Yuhao was deeply worried about Wang Dong's condition. In storybooks, such circumstances were always used as vessels for possession.

"The Clear Sky Sect... then it can only be that Sea God from ten thousand years ago."

Huo Yuhao recalled how, at the start of the school year, the teachers had proudly introduced them to the deeds of Sea God Tang San. He was from the Clear Sky Sect.

"By the way, aren't gods unable to descend to the lower realms?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was deeply puzzled. After all, if gods could descend to the lower realms so easily, the continent could not possibly be this peaceful. The Soul Beasts would likely have gone extinct long ago.

Man and silkworm exchanged glances, each seeing the confusion in the other's eyes.

Wang Dong watched Huo Yuhao fall into a daze as well, then sulkily sat on her bed and began cultivating.

They were clearly living as three people, so why was she the only one who knew nothing?

"I have something to announce."

Er Ming barged in directly, breaking the heavy atmosphere in the room.

"Sea God Tang San has issued a divine decree. Do not act rashly for now. Wait for him to resolve this matter personally."

This was the first time everyone had heard this Limit Douluo announce something, and they had not expected it to be so shocking.

"Do you mean that Lord Sea God?"

An elder said haltingly, barely daring to believe it.

"That's right, that Sea God!"
