God King Reborn

Ao Zhan's purpose in catching up was straightforward: he wanted to see just how great the gap was between himself and the famed Clear Sky Douluo from the original story. Of course, he also intended to kick a man while he was down.

Tang Hao was currently suffering backlash from the Asura Divine Power and Ring Detonation. Ao Zhan could take this chance to worsen his injuries, perhaps even seize the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone and the Seed of Life.

Naturally, it would be even better if he could kill Tang Hao and wipe out Tang San along with him.

But Ao Zhan only entertained the thought. Since Tang Hao was a pawn chosen by the Asura God, killing him would be far from easy.

Besides, even if he killed Tang Hao, he had discovered that Tang San's soul had not truly entered that infant's body yet.

The Asura God was likely waiting until Tang Hao had completely escaped danger before sending Tang San's soul down.

So even if Ao Zhan killed Tang Hao and destroyed that body, it would merely force Tang San to switch bodies. It would not affect his arrival in the slightest.

As for why the Asura God had not appeared earlier and had insisted on letting Qian Xunji get injured?

Naturally, it was to fulfill the conditions for Pluto's Exotic Energy to appear.

Ao Zhan followed them all the way and finally found his opportunity.

Tang Hao fled through the air until he reached a forest.

Suddenly, his aura plummeted. With a "wah," he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale as gold paper as he slowly descended onto a tree.

"Hah... hah... hah..."

He panted heavily, feeling the severe backlash within his body. The injuries caused by the Great Sumeru Hammer and the excessive Asura Divine Power he had borne were grave internal wounds.

"Damn it! I actually suffered such serious injuries. If I don't find a solution quickly, continuing my cultivation and making breakthroughs in the future will become a huge problem!"

Tang Hao gritted his teeth, his hatred for Qian Xunji and the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo deepening further.

Although he himself had drawn Spirit Hall's Title Douluo here, as a true member of the Tang Family, Tang Hao would never believe he was at fault. Instead, he blamed everything on Qian Xunji.

If Qian Xunji had not come personally, or had not brought the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo with him, and had only sent a few Level 91 Title Douluo elders, then Tang Hao would certainly not have been so miserable or suffered such severe injuries.

Tang Hao muttered to himself for a while, then took out a soul bone that emitted a soft blue glow from his Soul Tool. "Still, it's fortunate that I have this soul bone. Ah Yin was a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor with tremendous vitality. Perhaps this soul bone can suppress my injuries and allow me to continue cultivating."

Tang Hao stared at the soul bone for a long while before putting it away. He intended to settle down first, then study whether this idea would work.

After storing the soul bone, Tang Hao looked at the child in his arms again. Suddenly, he frowned. He discovered that the child seemed to have stopped breathing!

"Dead?" Tang Hao murmured. In truth, he was not particularly surprised.

When he had first conceived this plan, he had never expected the child to survive. After all, it was simply too difficult for a newborn infant to live through the aftermath of a Title Douluo battle.

In the God Realm, the Asura God raised an eyebrow. "He noticed? But it doesn't matter. I only need to erase his memories."

With a turn of his palm, the soul of an illusory adult man appeared in his hand. "Go! Embrace your destiny, destroy Spirit Hall, inherit my Divine Position and the Sea God's Divine Position, and become one being with dual Divine Positions!"

The Asura God tossed the soul into the water mirror, where it entered the breathless infant's body.

Tang Hao's eyes abruptly widened. The infant, who had possessed no sign of life, had suddenly begun breathing!

How was that possible!?

Under those circumstances, how could a frail infant possibly have survived!?

"Whatever it is, killing it is what matters!"

Tang Hao clenched his teeth and exerted force through his wrist, intending to kill the infant Tang San directly!

Yet at that moment, a trace of bloody light flashed through his eyes. The hand that was about to snap Tang San's neck stopped, then finally fell limply to his side. The killing intent in his gaze toward Tang San was gone as well.

Ao Zhan, hidden in the shadows, curled his lips. "I see. He noticed something was wrong with Tang San and wanted to kill him?"

The Tang San from moments ago had shown no signs of life whatsoever. Not only had Tang Hao noticed it, Ao Zhan had sensed it clearly too. Yet immediately afterward, Tang San began breathing. Clearly, Tang Hao had realized something was wrong and intended to kill him, but for some reason, he stopped.

And the reason he stopped was not difficult to guess.

"Asura... hehe. To preserve Tang San, this pawn of yours, you controlled Tang Hao. I wonder what was so special about this pawn that made you go so far. But if you learned that this Tang San was no longer your pawn Tang San, how would you react?"

A flash of green light passed through Ao Zhan's eyes as the powers of time and space intertwined within them.

Over the past four years, he had not only challenged Spirit Hall's bishops and elders, but had also refined ninety-nine percent of Miao Tiaojun's Alien Energy. Aside from retaining a sliver for some future use, he had refined all the rest and fused it into his Azure Dragon Bloodline.

In other words, his Azure Dragon now possessed the powers of time and space as though they were instinctive to his bloodline. He could even develop techniques of the time and space type!

It was precisely because of this that, when the infant Tang San had regained his breath, he sensed a ripple in time.

Then the system called out, "Temporal and spatial fluctuations detected. A soul from the future has crossed tens of thousands of years and been reborn at this point in time. Target locked—Tang San!"

In other words, the current Tang San was neither the original owner of this body nor the pawn Tang San whom the Asura God had just sent down. He was the dual God King from tens of thousands of years in the future, the Supreme God King, the Sea God Great Heavenly Venerable!

"This is getting more and more interesting."

Ao Zhan's lips curved upward. Though it was somewhat beyond his expectations, he was more than happy to see Tang San reborn.

A God King being reborn was a good thing.

What was the point of beating up Tang Sect Tang San?

If he was going to fight, he would fight God King Tang San.

Better yet, this God King Tang San had lost all of his formidable power and retained only his former memories. Wouldn't that make him a wonderful source of amusement?

I could endure the darkness, but I had seen the sun.

If Tang San had remained the original Tang San, that would have been one thing. But now he was God King Tang San. He clearly knew his original destiny, and barring unforeseen circumstances, everything here would likely be nothing more than reliving the past for him.

But unfortunately, with Ao Zhan here, Tang San would not be able to have such an easy time.

Moreover, given his past glorious achievements, one could easily imagine how utterly devastated the future Tang San would become.

"Hehehehe. Then let the great Sea God learn of my existence first." Ao Zhan let out a classic villainous laugh and walked toward Tang Hao.
