Tang San's Dad Really Is Here
Upon hearing this, a hint of curiosity flashed in Gu Yue's eyes.
The expression on Huo Yuhao's face told her that the interesting story he was talking about was anything but simple.
Huo Yuhao turned to look at her, a smile playing on his lips, and slowly said, "Do you remember what I joked with you about before? I said that Tang San's father might have also been placed on the Douluo Continent by him."
Gu Yue was startled, and memories from the past immediately surfaced in her mind.
At the time, she took it as a joke and didn't pay much attention to it.
But now that Huo Yuhao had brought up the old matter again, she raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and blurted out, "It can't be?"
Seeing Gu Yue's expression, Huo Yuhao knew she had guessed it.
Huo Yuhao nodded, no longer keeping him in suspense, and said directly, "That's right, Tang San's father is indeed on the continent."
"This..."
Gu Yue opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
In order to control the Douluo Continent, the Sea God Tang San actually sent his parents down to the mortal realm. Such a method is truly speechless.
Huo Yuhao continued, "In every plane, there are two things that are most important: one is the Life Core, which is the foundation for the flow of life in the plane; the other is the Plane Master, which is the highest will that maintains the execution of the laws."
"Under normal circumstances, neither the Life Core nor the Plane Master has self-awareness; they operate automatically and impartially according to the plane's inherent laws."
"But under Tang San's arrangement, his mother, Ah Yin, has already devoured the Life Core. In other words, the Life Core of the Douluo Continent is no longer an unconscious force of rules, but is now dominated by Ah Yin's will."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and the scattered clues in her mind instantly connected to form a deduction.
Before Huo Yuhao could speak, she said, "So, Tang San wants his father to become the Plane Master?"
Huo Yuhao nodded. "That's right. The consciousness of the Douluo Plane has now been suppressed to the minimum. Tang Hao has essentially taken the position of the Plane Master."
At this point, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, his voice laced with sarcasm. "Tang Hao and Ah Yin only ascended to the Divine Realm because of Tang San's ascension to godhood; in terms of cultivation, they are merely at the level of God Official."
"But once this plan is fully completed, Ah Yin will devour the Life Core, and Tang Hao will replace the Plane Master. The two of them will be able to use the power of the entire plane to leap forward and possess strength equivalent to Secondary Deity."
"By then, the entire Douluo Continent will be completely under the control of Tang San's family."
After hearing this, Gu Yue felt a wave of fear wash over her.
She lowered her eyes and pondered, thinking that her previous plans were thorough enough, taking all factors into account.
But now that she knows about the contingency plans Tang San has laid in the Douluo Continent, she realizes that if she continues on the original plan, she will not only fail to achieve her goal, but she will also fall into Tang San's hands.
She turned her head subtly, glancing at Huo Yuhao beside her out of the corner of her eye.
Gu Yue's heart stirred slightly, thinking to herself how fortunate she was to have him.
If Huo Yuhao hadn't noticed these anomalies and gradually uncovered these hidden clues, she probably would have remained completely in the dark until the very last moment.
Suppressing her chaotic thoughts, Gu Yue composed herself and said, "However, Tang San would never have imagined that after the Divine Realm disappeared, there would still be someone on the Douluo Continent who could become a god."
"Now that you've seen through all his plans, although we still don't know what Tang San's ultimate goal is, these arrangements are destined to fail. What do you plan to do with Tang Hao and Ah Yin?"
Huo Yuhao did not answer immediately. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had weighed the matter in his mind.
After a moment, he slowly said, "No rush, let's deal with the Holy Spirit Cult matters first."
"Tang Hao, A Da Ming, Da Ah Yin, and Er Ming will be dealt with later."
The last time the Holy Spirit Cult secretly sabotaged the Blood God Array, the Abyss Plane took advantage of the situation and launched a large-scale invasion of the Douluo Continent.
Although the Federation ultimately won the battle and Chen Gong stopped the invasion of the Abyss army, the price paid was extremely heavy.
In particular, the Blood God Legion, which has been stationed in the Endless Mountains for many years, suffered more than a third of its casualties.
Many of those veterans who persevered through wind and snow for half their lives never returned to their hometowns.
This blood debt is etched in the memory of everyone in the Federation. The hatred for the Holy Spirit Cult, those traitors who aided and abetted evil, runs deep in their bones and awaits reckoning.
When the Spirit Pagoda sent the intelligence it had gathered to the Federation headquarters, it did not initially receive enough attention.
After all, those coordinates were too precise, and the names on the list were too detailed; it was as if someone had turned the Holy Spirit Cult upside down.
However, with the attitude of "better to come up empty-handed than to give up," the Federation still sent several powerful individuals to the location provided by the Spirit Pagoda to conduct an on-site investigation.
To everyone's surprise, those locations were indeed the secret strongholds of the Holy Spirit Cult. A group of wicked and Evil Soul Master were caught red-handed and brought to justice on the spot.
With this undeniable "successful experience," the Federation finally took it seriously, realizing that the intelligence held by the Spirit Pagoda was not unfounded.
The Federation then mobilized almost all available resources and extended invitations to major sects and families, assembling a joint extermination team composed of top experts.
The various forces split into several groups and launched surprise attacks simultaneously on the strongholds of Evil Soul Master scattered throughout the continent.
To evade capture, the Holy Spirit Cult dispersed its followers and hid them throughout the continent.
While this approach avoids the risk of being wiped out in one fell swoop, it also gives the Federation the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
Because the Federation's various factions acted almost simultaneously, there was no time for information to be exchanged among the Evil Soul Master, and their isolated strongholds were successively eliminated.
Even the top figure of the Holy Spirit Cult, Hades Douluo Harosa, could not escape this calamity.
Under the combined attack of several Limit Douluo from the Federation, Ha Luosa's Pluto Domain was suppressed layer by layer, and he ultimately died on the spot, becoming the most significant figure to fall in this battle.
The Holy Spirit Cult has "One Emperor, Two Sovereigns, and Four Heavenly Kings," each of whom is a top-tier expert among Evil Soul Master.
However, with the Federation's Thunderous Might crackdown, all four Heavenly Kings were killed, Pluto, one of the two emperors, also perished.
In the Holy Spirit Cult today, the only truly powerful figures still existing on the surface are the Demon Empress, whose true face has never been seen by anyone, and the Ghost Emperor who attacked Shrek Academy back then.
On the vast ocean, a fleet, like a steel behemoth, cleaved through the waves. Suddenly, the fleet slowed down from its high speed and finally came to a steady stop on the sea surface.
The waves crashed against the ship's hull, stirring up layers of white foam. The fleet's formation gleamed coldly in the sunlight, exuding an aura of menace.
On the deck of the middle flagship, an elderly man in a crisp military uniform stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of someone who had been through many battles.
His white hair was neatly combed, remaining perfectly in place in the sea breeze. His wrinkled face was now filled with solemnity, his brows slightly furrowed, and his gaze was fixed on the distant horizon where the sea met the sky.
The three stars on his shoulder gleamed in the sunlight, signifying his status in the Federation Army.
He is one of only three generals in the Federation, Chen Xinjie, the Vast Sea Douluo.
According to the intelligence provided by the Spirit Pagoda, the elusive Demon Empress of the Holy Spirit Cult is hiding in this vast and boundless sea.
The Federation attached great importance to this matter and, after careful consideration, entrusted the task of exterminating the demon to Chen Xinjie, with the Sea God Legion under his command taking full responsibility.
After all, naval warfare is the specialty of the Sea God Legion, and Chen Xinjie himself is capable of shouldering this heavy responsibility.
Beside Chen Xinjie stood two figures, a man and a woman, both exuding extraordinary presence.
The man is Douluo of Emotion Zang Xin, who was invited here to lend Chen Xinjie a hand and join forces to deal with the mysterious Demon Empress.
The woman was Ya Li, the Holy Spirit Douluo who hadn't set foot on the mainland for many years. The reason she accompanied them was not because of the Demon Emperor, but because the Ghost Emperor was also in this sea area.
In Ya Li's mind, the Ghost Emperor was the culprit who destroyed Shrek Academy and caused Yun Ming's death.
The blood and fire of that day will always be an indelible mark on her heart.
Now that she knew the Ghost Emperor was here, Ya Li volunteered to come without any hesitation.
