The Conspiracy Theory Had Its Basis Too: Tang San's Miserable Childhood (Please Recommend and Urge More Updates!)

White World, Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Seeing Black World's Tang Hao kneeling before Tang Zhen's grave on the Comparison Sky Screen, weeping bitterly and repenting for his past actions.

Tang Chuan frowned deeply, recalling the conspiracy theories he had seen online in his previous life.

Although he had been an orphan in his previous life, as a young man of the new era, he had read webnovels and watched anime.

And he had both read the novel Douluo Continent and watched its anime adaptation.

Among the most heavily discussed topics surrounding Douluo Continent online, one concerned his mother Ah Yin's Sacrifice.

Whether Ah Yin had been taken back to the Clear Sky Sect by Tang Hao or had gone into hiding afterward, she had been fine for several years.

Yet, by an unbelievable coincidence, Spirit Hall discovered her just as she was pregnant and about to give birth.

After that, Qian Xunji came to their door with his people.

That was simply too much of a coincidence!

Thus, a conspiracy theory had emerged online.

It claimed that Ah Yin's Sacrifice had actually been deliberately orchestrated by Tang Hao, whose goal was her Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone!

This conspiracy theory had gained quite a following online in Tang Chuan's previous life.

But back then, Tang Chuan had not agreed with it.

Though he had been an orphan.

Tang Chuan had grown up healthily in an orphanage, with help from the state and society.

Therefore, Tang Chuan had believed more in the bright side of human nature at the time.

But now, after considering it carefully.

Tang Chuan found that the two pieces of evidence cited by the original poster who had proposed that conspiracy theory actually made sense.

First, Tang Hao clearly knew his mother's identity. He could have completely taken the side roads and brought her back to the Clear Sky Sect.

Under those circumstances, it would have been almost impossible for Spirit Hall to discover them.

Because if Spirit Hall had been secretly monitoring Tang Hao all along, they would have discovered his mother's true identity long ago.

And if they had not been monitoring him all along.

Then Spirit Hall could not have found the two of them if Tang Hao had taken his mother along the side roads back to the Clear Sky Sect.

The second point was that Tang Hao had clearly already successfully hidden away with his mother.

And they had remained hidden for years without being discovered.

So why had Spirit Hall discovered them precisely when his mother was pregnant and about to give birth?

And why had Qian Xunji then come to their door with his people?

Some said it was because his mother could not conceal her aura while pregnant.

But if Tang Hao had successfully hidden away with his mother, and they had stayed hidden for years.

Then they must have been hiding in some remote wilderness, far from human habitation.

Under those circumstances, even if her aura had leaked out, Spirit Hall's people should not have been able to discover it.

Those two pieces of evidence.

Tang Chuan now realized were entirely logical and could explain many questions.

Combined with Black World Tang Hao's bitter tears and loud words of repentance on the Comparison Sky Screen.

The truth was already crystal clear!

Tang Chuan was instantly filled with rage and clenched his fists.

Damn it! Tang Hao, you bastard!

I never thought you were such a beast!

So Mother's Sacrifice was all your doing!

I was wondering why, even though Mother clearly wasn't dead.

You still spent every day drowning yourself in drink and completely ignoring me.

Now it seemed obvious—you thought you had enraged Father Tang Zhen to death and brought disaster upon the Clear Sky Sect. You were consumed by pain and guilt, so you drank every day to numb yourself!

In the Blue Silver Forest.

Watching Black World Tang Hao kneel before Tang Zhen's grave on the Comparison Sky Screen, weeping bitterly and loudly repenting.

Ah Yin's heart trembled as well, and she sensed that something was wrong.

But deep down, Ah Yin was still unwilling to believe the truth she had vaguely perceived.

"No! That's impossible! I must be overthinking it!"

"Hao Ge loved me so much. When Pope of Martial Soul Hall Qian Xunji told him to hand me over, he said that if Spirit Hall wanted my Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone, they would have to step over his corpse first."

"How could he possibly hurt me?"

Ah Yin shook her head fiercely in her heart, her pretty face pale as she forced herself to believe it.

Meanwhile, in Black World.

Because she had discovered that her real son was already dead.

And that her current son was Tang San's soul occupying her original son's body.

Ah Yin was so furious and crazed that she had not noticed at all that Tang Hao's tearful, loud repentance on the Comparison Sky Screen was somewhat off.

But outside the pitch-black stone chamber where Ah Yin was.

Upon discovering that the Sky Screen had actually displayed the events of that year—when he had returned to the Clear Sky Sect, knelt before his father's grave, wept bitterly, and loudly repented.

Tang Hao sat on a patch of grass beneath the waterfall, clenching his fists. His waxen, haggard face was filled with an ugly expression, and his heart overflowed with fear and rage.

Damn Sky Screen, hurry up and get this part over with!

Aren't you supposed to be comparing Xiao San and Tang Chuan?

Why are you showing me?

[After kneeling before Tang Zhen's grave, weeping bitterly and loudly repenting.]

[Tang Hao, filled with pain, rose to his feet in a daze and despair. He picked up the still-infant Tang San, took to the air, and left the Clear Sky Sect, which had already been reduced to ruins.]

[After leaving, Tang Hao traveled all the way to the border of Farnos Province in the Heaven Dou Empire.]

[In the end, he chose a village called Holy Soul Village. Disguising himself as a blacksmith named Tang Hao, he settled there in seclusion with Tang San.]

Upon seeing this, in the Holy Soul Villages of both Black World and White World.

Village chief Old Jack could not help widening his eyes, so shocked that he was nearly speechless.

"That drunkard Tang Hao is... is actually a Title Douluo?!"

"And a Title Douluo from the legendary Clear Sky Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects? This is simply..."

"Then doesn't that mean Xiao San/Xiao Chuan, who became the Sea God and Asura God/the God of Life and God of Destruction, is the Xiao San/Xiao Chuan I know?"

At that thought, both Old Jacks were practically beside themselves with excitement.

At the same time, they both thought that their Holy Soul Village would probably have to be renamed God Soul Village in the future!

But if Tang Chuan had been there, he would definitely have told White World's Old Jack.

"Grandpa Old Jack, that's too small-minded! Your vision is too narrow!"

"I, Tang Chuan, am not Tang San. In the future, our Holy Soul Village definitely won't merely get a new name!"

[After Tang Hao settled into seclusion in Holy Soul Village with Tang San.]

[Although Tang San was still an infant, Tang Hao completely neglected him. Every day, he only drank himself senseless. Only when he remembered would he feed Tang San some porridge or rice paste, then toss him aside.]

[Fortunately, Tang San was no ordinary infant. He could cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish his body, which kept him from starving to death.]

[After Tang San grew past the age of one and could cook for himself.]

[Tang Hao stopped cooking altogether. Every day, he only drank. Once drunk, he would collapse onto the bed and sleep soundly. When he woke up, he would ask Tang San for food.]

[And because Tang Hao cared about nothing else, even chopping firewood and fetching water could only be done by Tang San, who was still just a child.]

[Fortunately, village chief Old Jack was an upright and warmhearted old man. After seeing this, he was furious and berated Tang Hao harshly. Afterward, he helped Tang San fetch water and chop firewood, and often gave him rice as aid.]

[Only then was Tang San's household able to barely keep going.]
