"Let me see where that unfilial brat is hiding."
Tang San began searching for that new star, the Child of Destiny, through the contingencies he had left behind on Douluo Continent.
"Shrek Academy, no."
"White Tiger Duke Mansion, no."
"Holy Spirit Cult, no."
"No, no..."
As he continued searching, Tang San's expression gradually darkened.
He was furious!
That little bastard was quite good at hiding!
Left with no choice, he could only indulge himself a little using the authority of a God King!
As for being discovered by the other God Kings, what did that matter? Before they tore off all pretenses, they were still fucking brothers. At worst, he would punish himself with three drinks.
Besides, he had a perfectly valid reason and excuse. What was wrong with an old father worrying about his daughter's safety?
Very soon, Tang San found his good son-in-law through his God King privileges.
"Huo Yuhao, you little bastard! You actually dared not to follow the script this God King wrote for you. You've turned heaven and earth upside down!"
"The work of the Plane Consciousness?"
Upon discovering that Huo Yuhao was hiding in the Body Sect, a cold glint flashed through Tang San's eyes.
"This goddamn Body Sect has invited its own death!"
Tang San then bestowed upon Du Busi, the Body Sect's leader, a small stroke of fortune—an opportunity that allowed him to glimpse the hope of becoming a Limit Douluo.
This opportunity was both a gift and a poison.
Once he took the bait, what awaited him would be a failed breakthrough and a shattered Soul Core.
Without Du Busi, the Body Sect would at most be a second-rate force. By then, wouldn't it be his to manipulate as he pleased?
Within the Body Sect, Du Busi suddenly felt a flash of inspiration and sensed an opportunity to advance further.
"This is simply impossible, isn't it?"
Du Busi knew very well where his foundation and limits lay. With his current foundation, becoming a Limit Douluo was impossible unless he encountered a heaven-sent opportunity. Otherwise, he had no hope in this lifetime.
The world believed that the Body Sect was a group of reckless brutes, fools with no brains and nothing but muscle. But how could a force devoted to pursuing the ultimate, steadfast in its cultivation will, and unrivaled across the continent in its research into Body Martial Souls and the human body, possibly be made up entirely of brutes?
Even if Du Busi himself was a brute, he was the kind who believed in his own strength and pursued being stronger today than he had been yesterday.
He was extremely sensitive to improvements along his own path of cultivation.
Therefore, Du Busi did not choose to break through immediately.
He wanted to see what exactly was going on.
Then, that feeling intensified.
A profound and mysterious power even appeared within his body out of nowhere, pushing him to improve and break through.
"Could it be that my accumulation really is sufficient?"
In the end, Du Busi still could not resist the temptation.
That was a Limit Douluo!
He began attempting a breakthrough.
At first, everything went smoothly. But just as he took the final step toward becoming a Limit Douluo, the power within his body suddenly became turbulent and utterly impossible to control.
He was in mortal danger, with life and death hanging by a thread.
Just as his breakthrough was about to fail, he inexplicably entered a state of Unity of Heaven and Man. Relying on that state, he not only easily overcame the crisis but also successfully took that final step.
From this day onward, Du Busi was a rank 99 Limit Douluo.
"Plane Consciousness, you've hidden yourself well!"
In the God Realm, Tang San was instantly enraged when he saw Du Busi break through and his own plan come to nothing.
His expression twisted viciously, and he panted like a bull.
A mere Plane Consciousness had actually dared to scheme against him, a God King.
Just now, Du Busi had indeed begun his breakthrough according to Tang San's plan and had been on the verge of failure. Yet the Plane Consciousness had unexpectedly given Du Busi a push in secret and even used Tang San's own power to help Du Busi break through successfully.
This was not only a failed scheme, but also a wasted meat bun, making his plan even more difficult.
"Plane Consciousness, you have invited your own death!"
Tang San growled softly.
The reason he constantly exploited loopholes, used rules and technicalities to bind the Child of Destiny, was not only to preserve his necessary public image in the God Realm. There was another important reason: the Plane Consciousness.
Though its rank was only that of a Second-Class God, in a sense, it was the true master of Douluo Planet. On Douluo Planet, it possessed authority equal to that of a First-Class God.
If his scabbard had not inherited the God Position of the Asura God King, granting him authority greater than that of a First-Class God, it would have been difficult for him to make any excessive moves against the Douluo Plane, let alone attempt to separate the Ocean from the plane.
Now, for some unknown reason, the Plane Consciousness had actually noticed his scheme. This made matters troublesome.
When one plan failed, Tang San devised another.
He would support someone on Douluo Continent who could speak to Du Busi, first build friendly relations, and let his daughter use that connection to approach the Child of Destiny.
Tang San firmly believed that once they made contact, wouldn't the Child of Destiny be easily controlled by him?
If friendship could not be established, he could have the puppet he raised destroy the Body Sect, leaving Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny, with nowhere to call home. There would still be an opportunity then.
Tang San then turned his gaze toward Shrek Academy once more.
Mu En was the most suitable candidate.
If he gave him a strand of Divine Power and let him stand again, wouldn't dealing with Du Busi be effortless?
He had only focused on the Child of Destiny earlier and paid no attention to Shrek Academy. But at this look, Tang San was instantly dumbfounded.
"What is going on?"
"Where is this God King's man?"
"Where is this God King's man?"
Tang San completely lost it.
A perfectly good rank 99 Limit Douluo was just gone.
Not only that, even the substitute had disappeared.
What exactly had happened on Douluo Continent?
Tang San tried hard to remain calm, but his breathing grew increasingly heavy. He wished he could drag Xiao Wu over right now to vent his frustration.
"Plane Consciousness, was this your doing again?"
For one moment, Tang San desperately wanted to act personally and directly suppress the Plane Consciousness.
But he knew that he could not do it yet.
Although he had inherited Twin God Positions, one of which was even at the God King level, Tang San knew very well that he had not truly mastered the Asura God Position at all.
Even the Sea God Position could not display the Sea God's former peak strength.
Right now, he could only surpass a First-Class Deity by relying on a Super Artifact and Dual God Fusion. Unless he was given another twenty or thirty years, he truly had no absolute confidence in suppressing the Plane Consciousness on Douluo Continent. He might even ruin his pure and flawless public image.
"Xiao Qi, I'll have to wrong you again."
"Father is doing this for your own good, to find you a powerful husband."
In the end, Tang San still decided to start with his daughter.
He would alter her martial soul, turning her Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul directly into a Body Martial Soul—the Radiant Goddess Body!
Then he could arrange for Daming and Erming to find a way to send Xiao Qi to the Body Sect.
That way, everything would remain under control.
Besides that, Tang San was also considering finding an opportunity to send his parents back to Douluo Continent and lay out his plans in advance.
But he also knew that this was no longer as simple as skirting the rules. He needed a reasonable excuse.
After making all the arrangements, Tang San was finally satisfied.
"Xiao Wu, I'm really fired up right now!"
