The Far North.
After Ice Empress and Snow Empress finished watching the introduction on the Light Screen, they both sighed.
Snow Empress murmured, "Before this, I had always wondered exactly how Huo Yuhao persuaded the future you."
"Now it seemed it was this so-called God Creation Plan."
"By turning you into her Soul Ring and Soul Bone, once Huo Yuhao became a god in the future, you could enter the God Realm with him."
"Who would have thought that, ten thousand years later, even I would become one of his followers?"
"Then, Xue'er, do you still plan to wait for Huo Yuhao?" Ice Empress asked with a frown.
Snow Empress snorted. "A mere human dared to control my power!"
"I had not gone directly to the Star Dou Forest only because I feared Di Tian might harm me."
"But Di Tian truly did harbor lofty ambitions. If we went there, we would not actually be in any danger."
"That was still better than this human brat!"
"Even if we could become gods alongside that human brat, we would be nothing more than pets in the God Realm!"
"Ice Empress, were you willing to be this human's pet?"
"Like hell!" Ice Empress said indignantly. "I wanted nothing more than to kill him outright!"
"Snow Empress, in that case, we might as well join Di Tian's camp!"
"Why not take a gamble and charge into the God Realm? Were we afraid we would not obtain Divine Positions?!"
Snow Empress nodded again, clearly sharing the same sentiment.
The two continued watching the Light Screen, unaware of what lay ahead.
On the Light Screen.
The detailed introduction continued, but it was all trivial details now.
Finally, it introduced some of Huo Yuhao's additional cheats, such as the Body Martial Soul.
Once that was done, it compared him with Tang San.
[It could be said that in terms of the number of cheats and their lower limit, Huo Yuhao's cheats were undoubtedly stronger!] [But in terms of upper limit, Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill was superior! Even a God King could cultivate it!] [Both of their cheats had their own strengths. It was far from what ordinary people claimed—that Huo Yuhao's cheats utterly crushed Tang San's!]
After it finished rattling off that concluding nonsense, the video came to an end.
After watching it, everyone had their own thoughts.
The discussion in the Comment Section continued without pause.
[Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "What do you mean, each having their own strengths? Clearly, neither was fair!" [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "Neither of them looked like good people. They might as well hand those cheats over to me!" [Douluo I Deep Sea Demonic Whale King]: "They might as well give them to this king! With those cheats, this king would go slaughter that Sea God!" [Douluo II Ye Xishui]: "Could you not simply capture the Tang San from your time and space and obtain them that way?" [Douluo II Ye Xishui]: "Unlike ten thousand years later, the power on Huo Yuhao's body would be much harder to steal!" [Douluo II Huo Yuhao]: "Who might you be, Senior? You too are interested in the power on my body?" [Douluo II Mu En]: "Yuhao, there is no need to speak with her..." [Douluo II Huo Yuhao]: "Oh..." [Douluo II Ye Xishui]: "Mu En, it has been a long time. You were still alive, I see." [Douluo II Mu En]: "Xi Shui, what happened back then was all regrettable. There is no point in you and me speaking here now." [Douluo II Mu En]: "Let us continue watching the Light Screen..."
Ye Xishui indeed seemed uninterested in saying more to Mu En and merely sighed to herself.
The others conversed among themselves as they continued watching the Light Screen as before.
The old video ended.
In the Real World, Song Ye, who had been scrolling through videos, casually swiped, and the next video appeared.
On the Light Screen.
[Do you know how many times Tang San's family members died in total?] [As everyone knows, a protagonist's family is a high-risk profession. In fact, nine out of ten novels begin with the protagonist as an orphan!] [Douluo Continent was no exception. Although Tang San was not an orphan, that did not mean those around him had smooth lives!] [Next, follow me as we take stock of how many times Tang San's family members died and how they died!] [Note: This video only covers Tang San's immediate family. We will not mention cannon-fodder relatives like those from the Clear Sky Sect!]
The new video appeared normally, yet no one had expected it to return to Tang San.
And it was such an ill-omened topic too—counting how many times Tang San's family had died, even cataloging the ways they died?
It was practically a hellish joke, making the corners of everyone's eyes twitch.
It had only just begun, yet many characters immediately started discussing it.
[Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "Hahaha, I never expected the new video to be so considerate!" [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "Tang San, Tang San, this video is going to take stock of your family's deaths! It seems being your family member is not very fortunate!" [Douluo I Tang San]: "Bibi Dong, what right do you have to say that? In the future, you will die by my hand!" [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "Whether I die or not does not matter. Sometimes, I truly do not want to live in this world." [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "But you—pretending to be some righteous gentleman, acting like a savior, yet you cannot even protect your own family!" [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "Oh, right, Tang San. Do you think your father will die?" [Douluo I Bibi Dong]: "You rely on Tang Hao's protection now. If he gets killed by you in the future, that would be interesting!" [Douluo I Tang San]: "Shut up! Bibi Dong! Just wait. Once I grow stronger, the day you die will come!" [Douluo II Huo Yuhao]: "Tang San Senior's family? They should be fine, right? We never studied this part of history." [Douluo I Yu Xiaogang]: "Xiao San, the Light Screen's meaning is probably that your family will truly be in danger in the future!" [Douluo I Yu Xiaogang]: "Why not take me as your master again and teach me your cultivation method, so that my talent can recover!" [Douluo I Yu Xiaogang]: "Then, if you are not by their side, your teacher can protect your family as well!" [Douluo I Tang San]: "Shut up! You Gangzi, trying to swindle my cultivation method again! Get lost!" [Douluo I Yu Xiaogang]: "Hey! You are being so unreasonable! Your teacher is doing this for your own good. I am merely asking you to give up a cultivation method. Is your family's future safety not more important than your cultivation method?!"
Yu Xiaogang immediately began wildly cursing Tang San, either calling him unfilial or accusing him of disloyalty.
Tang San was an extremely feudal-minded person. Hearing himself called disloyal, unrighteous, and unfilial, he wished he could come over and kill Yu Xiaogang directly.
If not for avoiding danger, why would he need to endure this?
However, Yu Xiaogang's words did indeed make Tang Hao somewhat worried.
Somewhere.
Tang San was still arguing his case on the Light Screen.
But as Tang Hao watched Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong's remarks, he frowned.
He thought:
"Although Bibi Dong is trying to sow discord, what she says is not without reason."
"Since the Light Screen says Xiao San's family will die, and the title makes it seem like more than one will die!"
"Who else does Xiao San have left? More or less, only me!"
"Judging by this title, I may truly die in the future..."
"If that is the outcome, do I still need to protect Xiao San? What if this child is a lone star of calamity, and the more family members sacrificed for him, the stronger he becomes? What should I do then?"
At that thought, Tang Hao immediately felt displeased.
It was not as though he had never read those little books. Most novels, illustrated booklets, and storytelling tales had similar situations.
The family members of those protagonists all died horribly in order to highlight the protagonist, serving only as tools for the protagonist to erupt in strength.
The more Tang Hao thought about it, the worse he felt. He increasingly believed that Tang San would get him killed someday!
