Douluo: I, the Prehistoric World's Dao Venerable, Was Livestreamed by the Sky Screen

Once the filter shattered, whatever bond they had as friends across generations immediately faded considerably.

However, he was a man who valued his promises. He would not go back on what he had agreed to before,

but as for what came next, he had no intention of getting involved again!

Clear Sky Sect.

The sect's council hall erupted into another heated argument.

"Where did such a monstrous freak come from? So he was an old bastard who seized someone else's body! No wonder he was so arrogant!"

"He acts as if our Clear Sky Sect owes him something. Does he not stop to think about who caused the trouble back then... Wait, if Tang San was someone who reincarnated after seizing a body, how could he count as a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect?"

"Third Elder is right. Such scum, who stole the bloodline and secret techniques of our Clear Sky Sect, must not be allowed to remain!"

Several elders were so furious that they stomped their feet, clamoring to head to Sea God Island, capture Tang San alive, and force him to hand over the Clear Sky Sect's supreme techniques.

The Sea God was dead, but their Clear Sky Sect's legend,

Tang Chen, was still alive!

With that ancestor around, they had every reason to stand tall!

"Elders, please calm down! Calm down!"

Tang Xiao felt his head swelling with frustration.

"Never mind whether we can even find Sea God Island. Even if we do... shouldn't we ask Brother Hao first? Ask Grandfather first?"

"So... let us wait until Grandfather returns before discussing this!"

He had never been a forceful or decisive person.

Now, with this mountain of messy affairs,

he was even more mentally exhausted.

All he could do was barely smooth things over.

At the same time, he felt sorrow for Tang Hao. He had clearly been a peerless talent of his generation, so how had he fallen so low?

And there was... poor Ah Yin!

Just thinking about it gave him a headache!

Even he no longer knew what attitude he should take toward that "Tang San."

He could only hope the people ahead would hurry up and die,

so Tang San would be sent to the Prehistoric World sooner. Out of sight, out of mind!

Spirit Hall.

After Saintess Hu Liena learned that Tang San might be hiding an old monster even older than her teacher within his body,

a chill ran through her entire body.

She had actually... fallen for something like that?

And because of it, she had even ruined her teacher's plan to hunt a soul ring!

"I never expected Tang San to have such an origin."

Xie Yue, standing nearby, sighed.

"Looks like we did not lose unfairly before. Nana, do not dwell on it too much."

"Do not worry."

Hu Liena nodded, her expression icy.

"I will not be foolish again!"

Qian Renxue was equally shocked.

She had never expected that she had been deceived by his appearance.

Above, the Sea God had been plotting in secret; below, Tang San had lurked and disguised himself.

Her defeat truly had not been unfair!

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

"No wonder... no wonder Sister Xiao Wu was deceived by him!"

The more Er Ming spoke, the angrier he became, his fists cracking as he clenched them.

"So he was an old Human Race monster who had lived for who knew how many years! Sister Xiao Wu is so innocent. How could she possibly not fall for it?"

"If you ask me, he must have seen through Sister Xiao Wu's identity long ago. He deliberately approached her just to deceive her out of her soul ring and Soul Bone!"

After hearing his analysis,

even Da Ming, standing nearby, had fury ignite in his eyes.

They had lived longer,

but when it came to cunning, they considered themselves far inferior to humans, let alone Tang San, who possessed a natural disguise!

Even they had been fooled by that guy's lies before!

Not to mention Xiao Wu!

"Do not let me see him again... Otherwise, I will tear him into pieces!"

On Sea God Island.

"Little San... you really kept us in the dark!"

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others could not help looking toward Tang San.

Their expressions were strange.

No wonder Tang San cultivated so quickly.

No wonder his cultivation speed was so terrifying that it left them struggling to breathe.

No wonder he knew so many Self-Created Soul Skills, along with those unheard-of "Hidden Weapons"...

It turned out he was not from this world at all.

"I... I did not mean to hide it!"

Tang San's face turned pale. He had not expected his greatest secret to be exposed just like that!

How would the people of the world see him?

His father, his mother... and these companions—how would they see him?

He had only just gained all of this.

Why,

why did it have to be taken from him in such a cruel way?

"It was all the Sea God! Him! It was all because of him!"

"I am a victim too!"

At that moment, Tang San's eyes seemed to hold a trace of pleading.

He pleaded for their forgiveness, for them to accept him as they always had!

"I just did not want to become different from everyone else!"

As his strength gradually grew,

the status of those before him had, in his heart, gradually shifted from "brothers" to "old friends," and they had even once been reduced to "subordinates and dependents."

Yet at this moment, he realized their importance once more!

He did not want to become a lonely man with no one beside him!

"Third Brother, now you are being too distant."

Ma Hongjun threw an arm around his shoulders and grinned.

"We are brothers, and we always will be, right?"

"That is right. No matter what, our bond will not change."

Dai Mubai echoed.

"Boss Dai, Fatty... thank you!"

A surge of warmth rose within Tang San, giving him a little more confidence.

What they valued was his personal charm, not some so-called reputation!

He, Tang San, was still Tang San!

Yet he failed to notice the coldness and disdain that flashed through their eyes when they turned away.

Tang San's earlier arrogance and later humility were one reason,

but more importantly,

everyone else had interacted under their true identities, while he alone had always shown them a "mask."
