A Scheme of Tang San's!

After chasing out of the main hall, Huo Yuhao hurried along the corridor and finally found Wang Dong'er on an open stone platform behind Haotian Castle.

She stood with her back to him on the edge of the high platform, facing the layered roofs of Haotian Castle and the distant, rolling mountains, shrouded in mist and the sky a vast expanse of gray.

A mountain breeze surged up from the valley floor, blowing her long, light blue hair and the hem of her clothes, making her figure appear exceptionally frail in the wind.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward and stood beside her, without rushing to speak.

He stood quietly beside her for a while, his gaze also fixed on the hazy mountains in the distance.

After a long while, Wang Dong'er turned her head slightly, her eyes somewhat vacant, the tears in her eyes seemingly dried up, leaving only faint traces at the corners of her eyes.

Her voice still trembled with sobs as she said, "Yuhao, tell me what really happened? Why did my Big Uncle and Second Uncle lie to me? And... who are my parents?"

Huo Yuhao knew the answer to this question, but telling Wang Dong'er now seemed too cruel for her.

He was silent for a moment, then reached out and gently stroked her long, light blue hair, his movements soft and natural. "They may have their own reasons; they should tell you the whole story later."

Wang Dong'er didn't respond to those words. She simply leaned forward slightly and threw herself into Huo Yuhao's arms, burying her face in his chest and wrapping her arms around his waist, holding him tightly.

Her voice came muffled from inside his clothes, carrying a vulnerability rarely seen in her. "Thank goodness you're here, otherwise I don't know what I would do now..."

After a moment of silence, Huo Yuhao heard a very soft murmur, "Yuhao... tell me, am I going to die?"

Huo Yuhao tightened his arms slightly, holding her firmly in his embrace.

He lowered his head, his chin gently resting on the top of her head, his voice deep and resolute, as if speaking to her, yet also to himself. "With me here, you'll be alright."

Wang Dong'er buried her pretty face in Huo Yuhao's chest, and her soft "hmm" with a nasal tone sounded like a kitten's whimper.

Huo Yuhao held her arm tightly without letting go, simply standing quietly on the high platform, letting her lean against him, letting time flow slowly between them.

Just then, the voice of the God of Destruction suddenly resounded in his Spirit Sea: "The Second Trial of the Trial of Destruction is complete. Reward: 10% increase in affinity with the God of Destruction, and one comprehension of the Law of Destruction."

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. He had only contacted the God of Destruction through the Scepter of Scepter of Destruction not long ago, and he did not expect that the second Divine Examination would be completed so quickly.

He had originally planned that if Niu Tian and Tai Tan weren't enough, he would go back to the Shrek Academy.

With the Blue Silver Emperor around, he'll have no problem with the second Divine Examination, but it seems he doesn't need to go back to Shrek now.

Although this reward doesn't include an increase in the age of the Soul Ring, for someone aspiring to godhood, the comprehension of the laws is clearly more important.

Moreover, this enlightenment did not require him to do it immediately; he could wait until he had more time to digest this gift.

Huo Yuhao thought it was over, but then the voice of the God of Destruction rang out again.

"The Third Trial of Destruction: resolve Wang Dong'er's soul problem and restore her soul to its completeness."

Huo Yuhao was stunned. He hadn't expected the Third Trial to come so quickly, and its content to be so precisely relevant to the problem he was currently facing.

The biggest problem right now is the seal belonging to Tang San in Wang Dong'er's Spirit Sea.

That's a God- level technique; even with his current cultivation level, just thinking about it makes him feel troubled.

Therefore, this test, which seems simple and straightforward, is actually the most difficult Divine Examination so far.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but whisper in his Spirit Sea, "What should we do about Tang San's seal?"

This was just a helpless mutter to himself, but as soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice rang out in his Spirit Sea: "Don't worry, when you're ready to make a move, I can handle Tang San's seal."

Huo Yuhao was startled, not expecting that his question would receive a personal response from the person in question.

He subconsciously scanned the Spirit Sea, but did not see any trace of the God of Destruction.

But this last sentence was clearly unlike the previous voice; it was as if it had been pre-programmed and was devoid of any emotion.

Huo Yuhao tentatively asked again, "Senior God King, do you know where the part of Dong'er's soul that was separated is?"

Having just obtained Tang San's "evidence" from Huo Yuhao, the God of Destruction was in an unprecedentedly good mood and naturally didn't mind saying a few more words.

His voice resounded once more in Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea: "The Dong'er you speak of is Tang San's daughter, nicknamed Xiao Qi, whose real name is Tang Wutong."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

According to the records he read in the history ten thousand years later, his wife, who was known as the Dragon Butterfly Douluo, was named Tang Wutong.

The voice of the God of Destruction continued to echo in Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea: "Xiao Qi is Tang San's daughter. Although I don't get along with Tang San, the Goddess of Life and I have always regarded Xiao Qi as our own daughter."

At this point, the God of Destruction's tone clearly carried a layer of suppressed anger as he said, "I never imagined Tang San would be so heartless as to tear Xiao Qi's soul apart. He doesn't deserve to be a father."

Huo Yuhao deeply agreed with this sentiment. From any perspective, tearing apart one's own daughter's soul is absolutely not something a father should do.

He clenched his fist silently, but did not interrupt the God of Destruction.

The God of Destruction paused for a moment, his tone calming somewhat, before finally getting to the point. "The part of Xiao Qi's soul that was torn apart is not in the Divine Realm; it is currently in the Spirit Sea of your other little girlfriend."

Another girlfriend?

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, and the first person that came to mind was naturally Gu Yue.

The God of Destruction probably didn't know about his relationship with Gu Yue in that timeline ten thousand years later.

He quickly realized that the God of Destruction was referring to Jin Li.

How could Dong'er's torn soul appear in Jin Li's body?

The voice of the God of Destruction rang out again, as if he had already seen through Huo Yuhao's doubts. "The Auspicious Beast carries the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest. Tang San must have some kind of plan to place Xiao Qi's soul in her body."

After the God of Destruction's explanation, Huo Yuhao instantly understood the key point.

In historical records from ten thousand years later, the Auspicious Beast was ultimately chosen to Sacrifice for him.

In this era, despite his best efforts to prevent Jin Li from embarking on that path of destiny, in the Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love's Questions, if the God of Destruction hadn't suddenly descended, Jin Li would still have been unable to escape the fate of Sacrifice for him.

All of this was orchestrated by Tang San in secret!

He didn't know exactly why Tang San placed Wang Dong'er's torn soul into Jin Li, but it must have been for the purpose of "plotting" against him Child of Luck.

Ten thousand years ago, Tang San himself was the Child of Luck, and eventually ascended to the throne of one of the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm.

Now, Huo Yuhao is the Child of Luck on the mainland, and Tang San's goal seems to be to control him, tame him, and make him a blade in his hand and a dog under his command.
