Prequel 2

At this moment, Tang San's chest heaved noticeably, and his expression shifted unpredictably.

Even so, his divine power continued pouring into the God Realm Central without reservation.

When he saw the God of Kindness and the God of Evil walk in, and saw the golden light radiating from the child in the God of Evil's arms, he could not help but close his eyes in pain.

Tang San saw his younger son, and naturally Xiao Wu saw him as well. She rushed forward in a few steps and cried out, "My son? What happened to my Wuyang?"

Anyone could see that something was wrong with Tang Wuyang. The ends of his originally pitch-black newborn hair had now been dyed with streaks of gold.

Her voice trembled, and so did her entire body. She could not help recalling Tang San's expression from moments ago, and a sense of foreboding spread through her body.

"I'm sorry," the God of Evil said with difficulty.

Tang San's lips trembled. He forced back his tears, gritted his teeth, and said solemnly to the God of Kindness and the God of Evil, "Quick. Let's work together and hold back the space-time turbulence first."

At this critical moment concerning the life and death of the God Realm, he knew his younger son was likely beyond saving, yet he had no time to care about that.

As a Supreme God and the ruler of the God Realm, his foremost duty was to protect the God Realm.

The God of Evil carefully handed the child in his arms to Xiao Wu. The God of Kindness beside him said softly, "We joined forces and used the Power of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil to seal Little Wuyang's body."

"Before the Golden Dragon King was slain by us, it injected all of its power into its God Core and controlled the God Core to burrow into Little Wuyang's body."

"It intended to use the God Core and that enormous divine power to burst Wuyang's body apart. Right now, we can only temporarily seal the God Core's power."

Xiao Wu took her younger son. The little one, who had often wailed loudly before, now had his eyes tightly shut as intense golden light radiated from his entire body, making him look dazzling.

However, the life force of this little life, who had only just been born, was rapidly weakening at an astonishing rate.

"What do I do? What do I do? My child, my child!" Xiao Wu muttered to herself.

Tang San could restrain his emotions, but Xiao Wu was a mother. Her newborn son had not even had a single mouthful of her milk before he was already on the verge of death.

How could she possibly suppress the pain in her heart now?

"Mom!" Tang Wutong held the soothed Tang Wulin as she sobbed and wrapped her arms around Xiao Wu. "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of my younger brother."

The God of Kindness and the God of Evil stood on both sides of Tang San, who was in his Asura God state. They extended their hands and pressed them toward the God Realm Central from a distance.

At once, two mighty streams of divine power, one black and one white, surged into the God Realm Central.

The trembling God Realm barrier instantly stabilized with the influx of divine power, and even the God Realm itself stopped shaking.

With two Supreme Gods joining as fresh reinforcements, the confrontation between the God Realm and the space-time turbulence temporarily stabilized.

As the God of Kindness sent divine power into the God Realm Central, he said to Tang San, "Third Brother, we can hold things here. Go check on the child."

"If we can't hold on, we'll call for you then."

Tang San hesitated slightly before withdrawing his hand.

He took a deep breath, adjusted the little divine power remaining inside his body, and absorbed the Heaven and Earth Yuan Power centered around the God Realm Committee to recover himself.

Now, the God Realm's struggle against the space-time turbulence could not be resolved simply by having sufficient power. It was a gradual process.

This process had already reached its middle to later stages. With the God of Kindness and the God of Evil present, the God Realm would be fine for the time being.

Moreover, he had expended too much. The role he could play now was far inferior to those two Supreme Gods.

He might as well use this chance to recover and check on his child first. He might be a Supreme God, but he was also a father!

Tang San quickly came to Xiao Wu's side and lowered his head to look at the child in her arms.

When Xiao Wu saw him approach, it was as though she had grasped a lifeline. She hurriedly said, "Third Brother, save our child. Hurry and save Wuyang."

"He's still so little, so little!"

Tang San held Xiao Wu tightly, kissed her forehead, and said softly, "Good fortune will favor the virtuous. Xiao Wu, don't cry. Let me examine our son first."

As he spoke, he took the child from her. At the same time, he exchanged the Godhood Position on Xiao Wu back to the Sea God.

The Asura God's divine power was too domineering. For healing, the Sea God was more skilled and far gentler.

Furthermore, when driven by the divine power of a Supreme God, the Sea God's healing abilities could be amplified to their fullest extent.

His divine soul condensed and his Divine Consciousness focused as Tang San carefully examined Little Wuyang's body.

The deeper his inspection went, the tighter his brows furrowed.

The Golden Dragon King's God Core was currently located in Tang Wuyang's chest. The terrifying divine power contained within had been affected by the Power of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil jointly cast by the God of Kindness and the God of Evil, preventing the divine power inside the God Core from leaking out.

But this was clearly not a long-term solution. The divine power within the God Core was still leaking out at an extremely slow rate.

When the God Core burrowed into Tang Wuyang's body, it had connected with his bloodline, making it impossible to remove now. The child's body was simply too fragile.

At the same time, the divine power inside the God Core was being drawn by the God Realm's own divine power and continuously striking the seal formed by Kindness and Evil. It was impossible to fully resist it, while the child's Life Aura grew weaker and weaker with time.

Tang San's brows were tightly knit as his mind raced.

At the very least, the child was still alive. That was already the best possible outcome.

As for how to resist the power within the God Core and prevent it from erupting, that was the greatest problem they faced.

But the Golden Dragon King itself possessed power comparable to that of a Supreme God, and this God Core was its most essential power.

Moreover, before its death, it had given the God Core a simple command: fuse with the child it encountered.

Perhaps Tang Wuyang had been closer to the direction it came from, which was why it had burrowed into his body.

But no matter which child fused with the God Core, it was something Tang San did not wish to see.

Once fused, the massive divine power within the God Core would naturally take that child's life.

Now that the God Core had fused with his bloodline, it was clearly impossible to remove it.

If they forcibly took it out, it would be equivalent to severing Tang Wuyang's bloodline.

Under these circumstances, none of them had the ability to remove it.

Since it could not be removed, they had to continuously suppress the power within the God Core until its divine power no longer affected Tang Wuyang's body. Only then could they save his life.

But how could that possibly be easy?

"Father-in-law, I just sensed it. If we want to keep the power inside this God Core from being triggered, it must be in a place without divine power," Huo Yuhao's voice came from the side.

Tang San turned his head and saw Huo Yuhao speaking as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked utterly exhausted, and his complexion was terrible, but his eyes were especially bright.

Tang San's heart stirred. Huo Yuhao possessed powerful Divine Consciousness, and his Divine Soul Detection was the best in the God Realm.

In terms of detection range, even a Supreme God might not surpass him. In subtle details, he was even better.

That was right. In a place without divine power, there would be no external divine power to trigger the divine power within the God Core.

Although the divine power in the God Core would still leak out, at the very least, the leakage would be far weaker and would not be as unstable as it was now.

Tang San took a deep breath, turned to Xiao Wu, and said, "I have a way."

Xiao Wu was overjoyed. "Quick, then save our son!"

Tang San hesitated. "But..."

Xiao Wu's heart tightened. "But what?"

Tang San said bitterly, "I'm afraid this child cannot stay by our side. Yuhao is right. Only in a place without divine power can Wuyang be safe."

"And where in our God Realm could there possibly be a place without divine power?"

"Only by sending him to the mortal world can he avoid interference from divine power. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Power in the mortal world is far weaker than in the God Realm, so it will not easily trigger the power within the God Core."

"I'll place enough seals on the God Core so that they gradually unlock as his strength grows."

"That way, he can gradually absorb the Golden Dragon King's energy. Not only would that not be a bad thing, it might even be good. He may gain the Golden Dragon King's abilities."

Xiao Wu was stunned. She looked at Tang San, then at her daughter holding her other son beside her, and said, "You mean, like Wutong back then, send Wuyang to Douluo Continent?"

Tang San nodded, confirming Xiao Wu's guess.

Xiao Wu said anxiously, "But Wuyang was just born! He's still so little."

Tang San gave a wry smile. "Right now, this is the only way to save his life!"

"We can't bear to part with him either, but what matters more is letting our younger son live."

"Once we stabilize the God Realm, we can keep watching over Wuyang from the God Realm. While helping him, we can think of other ways to dissolve this God Core."

"Alright!" Xiao Wu clenched her teeth, yet agreed without hesitation.

Temporary separation was never more important than the child's life. Back when she had been with Tang San, they had already gone through countless hardships together.

Xiao Wu knew that she could not hesitate now. They had to save their son's life first.

With Xiao Wu's support, Tang San no longer hesitated. Tang Wuyang's situation was simply too dire. He had to act decisively.

Tang San bit open his index finger and flicked it. A drop of Gold-Red blood immediately shot into the air.

Tang San's right hand guided it through the air, and a strange fragrance seemed to waft from that drop of Gold-Red blood.

Tang San handed Tang Wuyang to Xiao Wu, then pressed his left hand against the child's chest. Rings of Blue-golden light burst outward from his body.

Then, the halos transformed into bands of light that contracted toward Tang Wuyang's body like a vortex.

The drop of blood in the sky fell straight toward the center of the vortex.

Tang Wuyang's tiny body trembled violently. The next moment, the golden light on his body actually dimmed somewhat.

Tang San did not pause. He flicked his right hand again, and another drop of blood flew out.

This time, the blood spread slightly in the air, forming a rune that entered Tang Wuyang's body.

As the rune entered him, the golden light on Tang Wuyang's body weakened again.

Tang San was using his own blood as a guide to place seals within his younger son's body.

His seals also borrowed the Power of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil from the two Supreme Gods. With that power at the center and his own blood as the guide, he laid down multiple seals, continuously stacking them together to suppress the divine power within the God Core.

One had to know, that was the blood of a Supreme God!

Although the divine power contained within the Golden Dragon King's God Core was domineering, it had lost control from its original body. Under Tang San's forceful suppression, the seals continuously took effect and pressed the leaking divine power back into the God Core.

When the eighteenth drop of blood entered Tang Wuyang's body through the Blue-golden vortex, Tang San's body swayed and he nearly collapsed. His face had become exceedingly pale.

Tang San had already expended an enormous amount of divine power. Now, he had to focus entirely on placing seals inside his younger son's body. The pressure he endured was imaginable.

But to save his son's life, he had to grit his teeth and endure no matter what.

Just as the seal was about to be completed, a high, resonant Dragon Roar rang out from Tang Wuyang's body.

"Whoosh!"

A golden airflow surged from Tang Wuyang's nose and mouth. The next instant, he let out a loud wail.

Tang San, having completed the seal, panted heavily. When he saw his younger son regain his vitality in Xiao Wu's arms, the tension in his heart immediately eased.

Before he could recover his breath, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred. An irresistible Spatial Fluctuation appeared in the room.

Everyone fixed their eyes on its source and saw that the origin of the Spatial Fluctuation was unexpectedly a silver-gray phantom of a long spear that had appeared out of thin air.

The unknown long spear dove downward at a speed too fast for anyone's eyes to follow.

"Not good! Wutong, move!"

Huo Yuhao, whose Divine Consciousness was the strongest present, was the only one who could clearly see the long spear's true appearance.

At the point where the phantom spear's tip joined its spear handle was embedded a silver-gray crystal the same color as its spear body. Fine Dragon Scales of the same color covered the crystal's surface.

The moment he saw the long spear clearly, he immediately thought of something and hurriedly warned Tang Wutong.

When Tang Wutong heard Huo Yuhao's voice, she was initially stunned. But when she saw the spear charging toward her and recalled the Dragon Roar that had sounded from Tang Wuyang's body just before the seal was completed, she instantly understood. She immediately tried to take the unharmed Tang Wulin in her arms away from there.

However, how could she, reacting half a beat too slowly, possibly outrun the long spear phantom moving at near-light speed?

Just as Tang Wutong turned to leave, a surge of Space Power arrived. The long spear directly tore through space and appeared before Tang Wutong. Then, before she could react at all, it shot straight into Tang Wulin's body.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had just relaxed upon seeing Tang Wuyang safe, but their bodies instantly froze.

Ignoring Tang Wuyang, who was still crying, Xiao Wu carried him while she and Tang San hurried to Tang Wutong's side.

Tang Wulin's originally fair skin was now beginning to sprout Dragon Scales, just like Tang Wuyang's had before.

The difference was that the energy on Tang Wulin's body was clearly weaker than the energy Tang Wuyang had carried earlier, and the Dragon Scales only appeared on his limbs.

But even so, this energy was not something Tang Wulin, as an infant, could withstand.

Xiao Wu seemed to understand something, and her face immediately turned pale.

Yet no matter how unwilling she was to believe it, the truth stood before her. She knew clearly that she could not keep either of her two sons!

Tang San looked at the abnormality appearing on his other son's body. Even without using Divine Soul Detection, he understood that Tang Wulin's condition was probably similar to Tang Wuyang's, except the energy within him was somewhat weaker.

Tang San was already powerless. Even if he could continue forcing out Essence Blood, he no longer had enough divine power.
