Wang Dong Became an Idiot

But he could only endure it!

Tang San was no longer the Tang San of old, who had needed their strength to grow. He was now a lofty God King, while he and Erming were nothing more than weak ants.

What could he do? What was he capable of doing?

"Sea God, the moment Xiao Qi went missing, I contacted you. I don't know why, but you never responded."

The Sky Azure Bull Python hurriedly replied with the wording he had prepared earlier.

"You contacted me?"

Tang San was stunned when he heard this.

He knew that he had wronged Daming.

He had clearly received no message, yet Daming said he had contacted him.

Daming did not have the nerve to lie to him. That left only one possibility: the Plane Consciousness had intervened and blocked it.

Even though Tang San knew he had wronged Daming, he would not admit his mistake.

How could a God King apologize to an ant?

"You didn't get a response after contacting me once, so couldn't you have contacted me a few more times?"

"By your reasoning, Xiao Qi being harmed is somehow my fault?"

Tang San rebuked him again in a deep voice, though there was less coldness in it.

"It was my negligence. I guarantee that from now on, I will remain by Xiao Qi's side and protect her from any further harm at all times."

Daming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew he had survived this ordeal.

"Daming, I'll give you one final chance. If you still can't protect Xiao Qi, you know the consequences."

After issuing his threat in a deep voice, Tang San cut off the call with Daming and began making arrangements for his parents to head to Douluo Planet.

The Plane Consciousness had intervened repeatedly, constantly ruining his plans, and it had thoroughly enraged him.

The problem was that, with his parents' current strength, it would be difficult for them to devour the World Consciousness.

At present, he had only gained preliminary control over the Ocean plane of Douluo Planet. He still had no way to completely strip it away.

"Should I lure other planes here?"

The moment the thought surfaced, Tang San rejected it.

In this era, if he caused such a huge disturbance, the other Deities of the God Realm would naturally discover it with ease.

The losses would outweigh the gains.

After thinking it over, Tang San suddenly realized that, for the moment, he had no solution.

How could he accept such an outcome?

"The Child of Destiny—yes, the Child of Destiny!"

"In the end, I still need to firmly bind the Child of Destiny to me!"

Tang San quickly realized he had gone down the wrong path and turned his gaze toward the Child of Destiny, Huo Yuhao, once more.

"This Child of Destiny seems somewhat unworthy of the title!"

Tang San looked at Huo Yuhao and always felt that something was missing.

Huo Yuhao had only just turned fourteen, yet he had already reached the realm of a Soul Ancestor. His soul ring configuration was even a million-year ring, a thousand-year ring, and two ten-thousand-year rings!

He was considered among the best of his generation, but he was merely far ahead of his peers. He had not remotely met Tang San's expectations.

What Tang San could not understand most was that the Child of Destiny had yet to obtain a second martial soul.

"Could this be a smokescreen created by the Plane Consciousness?"

Naturally suspicious, Tang San could not help thinking so. The Plane Consciousness had interfered with and ruined too many of his schemes recently.

Perhaps Huo Yuhao was merely a decoy it had pushed forward while secretly hiding and nurturing someone else.

The problem was that Tang San could sense the Power of Destiny on Huo Yuhao.

Although he could not make sense of that thing, as a God King, he could still see it clearly.

"Whatever!"

Tang San promptly made his decision. No matter what, he would first send his daughter to the Child of Destiny's side.

He would test him first. If Huo Yuhao was not the Child of Destiny, he would find an opportunity to kill him and have his daughter find the true Child of Destiny again.

Following Tang San's order and directions, the Sky Azure Bull Python found Wang Dong as quickly as possible.

At that moment, Wang Dong's Spirit Sea was in complete chaos. There were enough consciousnesses in there to make up a mahjong table.

After a fierce battle, the consciousness that had originally belonged to Tang Wutong hid itself once more. Wang Dong's consciousness also chose to seal itself away, unwilling to accept everything. The personality that had emerged later could originally have taken control of the body, but for some reason, it chose to give up as well.

As a result, the half-grain of Divine Sense Tang San had inserted later took control of the body instead.

The problem lay here. Tang San had been too greedy. Even in such circumstances, he still thought about his plan, about using the grain of Xiao Qi's Divine Sense to control the Auspicious Beast. Thus, when he divided the Divine Sense into two, he kept the more divine half for himself, intending to use it later to control the Auspicious Beast and seize destiny.

He fused the other half of the Divine Sense, the portion that had no memories to begin with, into Wang Dong's Spirit Sea.

His original intention had been for the soul that originally belonged to Wutong within this body to devour it and strengthen herself, thereby destroying the other two in one stroke. But Wutong's soul, due to his previous setup, had not yet reached the time to awaken. She had merely reacted instinctively to the turmoil in the Spirit Sea before falling asleep again.

With Wang Dong's other consciousnesses all hiding themselves away as well, only an awareness that understood nothing and knew nothing remained in control of the body.

And so Wang Dong became an idiot.

"How did this happen?"

When the belated Sky Azure Bull Python saw Wang Dong in this state, his heart ached.

He could not imagine what that beast Tang San had done to Xiao Qi. She was his own daughter!

If Tang San had not been watching from the God Realm at all times, he would never have continued this mission and sent Xiao Qi to that damned Body Sect.

In the end, the Sky Azure Bull Python had no choice but to obey Tang San's command.

After the Sky Azure Bull Python left, Tang Ya was the only one left sitting there alone.

The Evil Soul Master assigned to protect her had just been casually slapped to death by the Sky Azure Bull Python.

She had also awakened early because of the Sea God's power.

She remembered.

She remembered everything!

She remembered what she had done after falling into darkness and becoming an Evil Soul Master.

Not long ago, she had even nearly killed her junior, Wang Dong.

"Why? Why did it turn out like this..."

Tang Ya could not face herself or accept what she had done before.

Whenever she thought of her hands stained with blood, of the countless horrific acts she had committed, of the inhuman methods she had used to increase her strength, Tang Ya could not accept this filthy, ugly self.

So, she chose to forget.

Forget everything. Forget who she had once been.

She was not some Shrek academy student or the master of the Tang Sect. She was the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult. (There's a bit of personal darkening here; I accept any criticism.)

Having forgotten everything from her past, Tang Ya, the Blue Silver Holy Maiden, once again set foot on the path of an Evil Soul Master.

Meanwhile, under Tang San's instructions, the Sky Azure Bull Python placed Wang Dong near the Body Sect and remained hidden nearby, watching over her at all times.

An invisible hand pushed events forward once again. No matter where the Child of Destiny fled, he could not escape the arrangements of God King Tang.

Within the Royal Soul Guidance Academy of the Sun Moon Empire, Jiang Heng had spent half a year and was finally about to complete the final step of this Rank 9 Soul Tool.

Ever since coming to this world and becoming a Soul Beast, he had tried every possible way to gather what he needed. His original goal had been to create a Rank 9 Soul Tool that belonged to him.

That way, he and his clan would possess some ability to protect themselves.

Now, his strength had increased, he had intercepted more opportunities, and he had gained the power to protect himself, but he had never forgotten his original goal.

He had finally reached this step.
