Tang San's Plan

God Realm, Sea God Temple.

Sea God Tang San sat upon his divine throne, the radiance of circulating Divine Power forming a hazy yet majestic aura around him.

His Eyes were slightly closed, yet his divine sense seemed to envelop the boundless territory of the God Realm. A trace of barely perceptible contemplation lingered between his Eyebrows.

"Third Brother!"

A soft call broke the silence of the God Temple.

A graceful figure seemed to leap lightly from the Light and Shadow. Xiao Wu affectionately sat on Tang San's lap, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her little head against his solid chest.

The solemnity on Tang San's face instantly melted away, replaced by an indulgent, helpless smile. His fingers gently combed through her silky hair. "You really haven't changed after all these years. You still love acting spoiled."

"I am now a God Realm Enforcer, leading the God Realm Committee. If the other Deities saw you like this, wouldn't all my dignity be gone?"

Rather than letting go, Xiao Wu squeezed further into his embrace and pouted. "Hmph, I don't care."

"You are a God King and a God Realm Enforcer, but before all that, you are my husband—my Third Brother!"

Tang San shook his head helplessly and pulled Xiao Wu closer into his arms.

After a moment of tenderness, Xiao Wu slightly raised herself and looked at the lingering worry that never seemed to fade from between Tang San's brows.

She reached out and gently pressed a finger to his brow, trying to smooth away the invisible crease.

"Third Brother, don't always work yourself so hard."

Xiao Wu's voice was filled with heartache. "You aren't the only God King in the God Realm. Why do you have to carry every burden on your own shoulders?"

"The time we spend together now... has grown less and less."

Tang San sighed softly. "The Goodness and Evil God Kings used a wager as an excuse to cast aside their responsibilities long ago and run off to the lower realm to enjoy themselves."

"The God of Destruction... his ideals are far too extreme and radical, while the Goddess of Life has never liked handling mundane affairs."

"Now, among the God Realm Committee, I am the only one who can oversee the bigger picture, coordinate all sides, and maintain order and balance."

Xiao Wu snorted irritably. "They're far too irresponsible! Just because you came later, they threw all the most complicated burdens onto you. It's made it hard for us husband and wife to even have a proper conversation."

Tang San's gaze turned beyond the God Temple, piercing through layers of clouds and divine light.

His voice carried a trace of complexity. "A God Realm Enforcer may seem lofty, holding the fate of all living beings in his hands, but not everyone is willing to bear the weight of that responsibility."

He paused, a rare note of emotion entering his words. "Sometimes I wonder, if I had remained on the Douluo Continent a little longer back then, perhaps... I could have made more arrangements."

"Now, one day in the God Realm is one year in the lower realm. After the violent collision of continental plates four thousand years ago, the Tang Sect that I founded with my own hands has now... declined."

Xiao Wu comforted him gently. "Third Brother, that was the choice of the times. It was not your fault."

Tang San nodded, his expression easing somewhat. "Indeed. Changes in the continental plates and the passing of civilizations also signify that the lower realm is constantly evolving and reshaping itself."

Then his tone shifted, becoming slightly lighter. "But interestingly enough, I recently observed the lower realm and discovered that a New Star is rising on the Douluo Continent."

"And his Trajectory of destiny... seems to be linked to my Tang Sect in countless ways."

"I tried to use my Divine Power to see his future clearly, but layers upon layers of dense mist of destiny blocked my sight."

"This child's destiny is anything but ordinary. I only hope he can truly make the Tang Sect great again."

Xiao Wu's Eyes lit up as she smiled. "Even you can't see through him? Then he must truly be an extraordinary junior!"

She then lightly rose from Tang San's lap, her smile radiant. "All right, Your Majesty the God King, you handle countless affairs every day. I won't waste any more of your precious time."

Before her words had even faded, her figure vanished from the God Temple like a Phantom, leaving behind only a faint, sweet fragrance.

Not far away, behind a massive Sea God Pillar, a small figure was silently hiding, having heard every word of her parents' conversation.

She was none other than Tang San and Xiao Wu's beloved daughter, Tang Wutong!

Her lively Eyes were wide open as the contents of her parents' conversation echoed repeatedly through her mind.

"It sounds like the Douluo Continent is especially interesting!"

Intense curiosity and longing surged within her, and she soon slipped out of the God Temple on tiptoe as well.

At the instant she disappeared, Tang San, seated on the divine throne, slightly turned his head, his gaze seeming to casually sweep over the direction where his daughter had been hiding.

His heart stirred, and an idea instantly rose in his mind, refusing to fade for a long while.

A trace of struggle and hesitation flashed through Tang San's eyes, but it lasted only an instant before turning into firm resolve!

The Divine Power around him, originally as tranquil as the sea, suddenly surged. In the next moment, an incomparably condensed azure-gold Light Pillar shot from his fingertips and plunged directly into the God Realm Hub at the center of the God Temple!

"Child of Destiny..."

Tang San murmured as his divine sense followed the passage established by the God Realm Hub and searched toward the lower realm's Douluo Continent.

"Let me see... just how far you have grown now!"

Even as a God King who controlled the God Realm Hub and possessed the authority to connect all realms,

his sight still seemed as though he were watching a fire through heavy gauze when it came to that special New Star on the Douluo Continent, unable to see clearly.

The mist shrouding that person's destiny was abnormally dense, as if some force beyond convention were concealing him.

However, with the full infusion of Divine Power and divine sense this time, the stream of information he detected was far clearer than before.

Yet Tang San's Eyebrows furrowed slightly.

For he keenly noticed that the New Star's current Trajectory of destiny had undergone a significant change compared with his previous investigation!

"Could my previous observation have been mistaken?"

"Or could it be... that during this time, he encountered some kind of 'fortuitous encounter' capable of rewriting his Trajectory of destiny?"

The thought flashed through Tang San's mind, but he did not delve into the source of this abnormal change. The lower realm had countless variables; perhaps he had simply failed to glimpse the full picture before.

The corners of Tang San's mouth curved into an intrigued smile, and rather than dwelling on it, he chuckled.

"Eight years old, and already a Soul Grandmaster?"

"That is far faster than the growth rate I predicted last time... as expected of the Child of Destiny."

Divine light shone brilliantly in Tang San's eyes. The changes in the other party had sparked a measure of his interest.

In any case, the other party had already caught his attention and would surely become an aid to the Tang Sect's future rise.

Since that was the case, the faster he grew, the better!

"It seems..." Tang San withdrew his probing divine sense and muttered to himself, "my original plan will need some corresponding adjustments as well."
