"Father and son... deeply devoted?"
"Heh!"
The moment Tang Hao heard those four words, obvious killing intent appeared in his eyes.
He stared fixedly at Tang San and roared, "Are you my son? And you dare talk about father-son devotion!"
"I, I..."
"I am the mighty Clear Sky Douluo! It was bad enough that I failed to protect my own son!"
"But I actually raised a replacement for twelve years!"
"Twelve years! Do you know how I spent those twelve years?!"
"Father!!—"
Seeing Tang Hao's state, Tang San was still unwilling to give up.
"Father!"
"The original Tang San is already dead! That was your choice, Father!!"
"Since you can accept an outstanding son, why can't that son be me?!"
"Just treat the original Tang San as my older brother. Your eldest son was killed by Spirit Hall! Can't I be the son you had afterward?!"
"I am using the original Tang San's body, and he was also my benefactor!"
"I can inherit his identity, be your good son, avenge you, and avenge Mother too!!"
"Can't you treat me as your second son?! Can you only have one son for your entire lives?!"
"Father!"
"In both my past and present lives, you are my only father!"
"Do you know how I have lived these past years?!"
"I only want a family. I only want my parents' love. No one can stop me! Not even gods can stop me, I said so!!"
"As long as you still acknowledge me as your son, Xiao San will support you in your old age from now on!"
"From now on, whatever you want, Xiao San will provide it with filial devotion!"
"Father!!!"
"If Xiao San ever has the chance to attain the position of a Deity, then even if it costs me my life, I will revive Mother and bring you both into the God Realm to enjoy eternal life!!!"
By the end, Tang San had become utterly humble.
No one needed parental love more than he did.
As an invincible feudal warrior, Tang San would even die for his parents!
Now, he no longer hoped to completely replace the original Tang San.
He only hoped his father could regard him as a second son!
And indeed, after hearing his outpouring, Tang Hao was naturally affected by his words.
After all, he had poured twelve years of affection into this Tang San.
He could not simply abandon him completely.
Moreover, Tang San had said in the end that if he became a god in the future, he could revive his wife and bring him to the God Realm for eternal life.
Upon hearing that, Tang Hao's originally cold heart was involuntarily moved.
That was right. Although this Tang San was not his original son, he might become a God King in the future.
Even if his soul was different, his potential to become a God King was real.
Tang Hao had suspected from the start whether Tang San was truly his son, yet even with those suspicions, had he not still been willing to raise him?
Especially after seeing Tang San's Twin Martial Souls, Tang Hao had regarded him as a good son.
Tang Hao wanted father-son affection, but he truly could not bear to part with a son possessing Twin Martial Souls.
If Tang San could accomplish everything he had said, then Tang Hao could become a god and gain eternal life in the future as well.
At that thought, Tang Hao finally softened. Looking at Tang San, he ultimately gave a helpless, self-mocking bitter laugh.
"Twelve years..."
"I raised you for twelve years..."
"I, I..."
"Yes. Even an adopted son would inspire affection after being raised for so long. No one is a sage; who can be without feeling?"
"Xiao San, I'm sorry. Father was too agitated. Father just couldn't accept this fact."
"Xiao San..."
"Father!"
When Tang San heard Tang Hao call him Xiao San again, he finally relaxed slightly.
It seemed their feelings over all those years had not been false.
Tang San also knew that Tang Hao was willing to acknowledge him because of his future accomplishments, but it did not matter.
As long as his father was still there, as long as he could still have a happy and complete family to fill the part of him that lacked love, that was enough.
Tang San remained kneeling on the ground and said through tears,
"Father above, Xiao San swears here upon his life!"
"If Xiao San truly becomes a god one day, I will certainly find a way to revive Mother and bring Father and Mother into the God Realm to enjoy eternal happiness!"
"If I break this oath, may I be struck by thunder and reduced to ashes!!"
"My son!!"
"My good son!!"
Hearing such an oath, Tang Hao could finally no longer resist the desire for eternal life.
No matter how much he mourned his original son, the one before him now was a new son who could grant him eternal life in the future!
Who would still want that original son, with whom he had never built any feelings?
Tang Hao gritted his teeth and suddenly pulled Tang San into a tight embrace, completely going all-in on his new son!
He also spoke with genuine emotion. "Xiao San, Father has wronged you..."
"The original Xiao San is already dead, and you didn't kill him. How could Father take his anger out on you?"
"Don't worry, Xiao San!"
"From now on, whether or not you can bring Father into the God Realm, you will be my only son!"
"Father will give you assurance right now!"
Tang San looked curiously at Tang Hao, not knowing what assurance he intended to give him.
The next second, Tang Hao directly spoke to the Comment Section within the Light Screen.
[Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "What exactly is Tang Hao doing? Your son is an Alien Race. We're helping you deal with him, and you're still hesitating?" [Douluo I Tang Hao]: "Bibi Dong! Your son is the Alien Race! You poisonous woman, how dare you slander my Xiao San!" [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "Hm?" [Douluo I Yu Xiaogang]: "Hm?" [Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "Hm?" [Douluo I Deep Sea Demonic Whale King]: "Hm?" [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "Tang Hao, have you gone mad?! Wasn't your son dead long ago?" [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "We're talking about this Transmigrator Tang San now! If he isn't an Alien Race, what is he?" [Douluo I Tang Hao]: "You—are—full—of—shit!" [Douluo I Tang Hao]: "My son Tang San has the potential to become a god! Is he someone you can insult?" [Douluo I Tang Hao]: "I'm telling you all, don't even think about driving a wedge between Xiao San and me!" [Douluo I Tang Hao]: "The original Xiao San is already dead, and that was Spirit Hall's fault! Now, Xiao San is my new son!" [Douluo I Tang Hao]: "Whoever dares sow discord between Xiao San and me, I will kill without mercy!" [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "Tang Hao, are you brain-dead?! This is an Alien Race that took over your son's body!" [Douluo I Tang San]: "No! I am Father's son. I am from Douluo Continent! I am not some Alien Race!" [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "Fine, I understand now! Tang Hao, you still can't bear to give up a son who can become a god, can you?" [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "You still want to gain benefits from this Tang San, don't you!" [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "Potential to become a god? Is Tang San the only one in the world with such potential? Doesn't this seat have it too!" [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "Who dares claim invincibility? Who dares speak of never being defeated? In this seat's era, none can be seen!" [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "Tang Hao, I advise you to hand Tang San over! Otherwise, you will be making an enemy of the entire Douluo Continent!!"
