I, Tang San, Still Can't See Through This Mysterious Force's True Strength (Again and Again)

In the God Realm, within the mist-shrouded Sea God Hall, sat a man upon a towering throne.

A handsome man with long, water-blue hair sat quietly. His eyes were slightly closed, and his body radiated a gentle yet majestic divine power, as if the will of the entire ocean had converged here.

This person was none other than the God Realm enforcer, the Sea God and Asura—Tang San.

At this moment, Tang San's eyes, which had been as calm as still water, slowly opened, though his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"Strange..."

He murmured in a low voice, his slender fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest.

"According to my deductions, by this time, the Child of Destiny should have already formed a bond with the Tang Sect."

"As the current Sect Master and senior disciple of the Tang Sect, Bei Bei and Tang Ya should have encountered Huo Yuhao on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, logically invited him to join the Tang Sect, and subsequently traveled together to Shrek Academy."

"This is the trajectory of fate that was planned long ago, and a path that must be paved for the future peace and prosperity of the Douluo Continent."

A trace of doubt flashed in Tang San's eyes.

As the supreme enforcer of the God Realm, although he could not interfere with the affairs of the lower realm at will, he naturally kept a close watch on matters concerning the future direction of the entire plane.

Yet just now, when he attempted to sense the thread of fate connecting Huo Yuhao to the Tang Sect once more, he found it completely empty.

The causality that should have been tightly intertwined had, at this moment, been severed!

"What on earth has happened?"

"Could that variable have caused this shift in fate?"

A sense of vigilance rose in Tang San's heart.

This feeling of things slipping out of his control made him extremely uncomfortable.

He cautiously released a wisp of divine sense to scan the surroundings of the God Realm. After confirming that the God King of Destruction, who always loved to play devil's advocate, was not nearby, he felt at ease enough to cast his divine thoughts toward the lower realm.

"Let me see where this Child of Destiny has run off to."

Tang San's divine thoughts descended instantly upon the Douluo Continent.

The scene on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest appeared clearly in his mind.

However, the next second.

Tang San's pupils contracted violently.

"That is..."

High above in the sky, thousands of meters up, a magnificent floating academy was suspended quietly amidst the clouds!

On that island, buildings stood in rows, filled with a strange aesthetic and sense of technology he had never seen before.

"What is this?!"

Tang San was shocked to his core.

He had scanned the Douluo Continent countless times before and had never discovered the existence of such a colossal object!

It was as if it had appeared out of thin air!

"Could this be the handiwork of another deity?"

Refusing to believe it, Tang San mobilized the dual divine powers of the Sea God and Asura, attempting to forcibly pierce through the mist shrouding the floating island to investigate.

However.

"Hum—"

The moment his divine thoughts touched that barrier, a vast and terrifying power directly repelled his consciousness!

"Pfft—"

Tang San let out a muffled groan, his divine sense stinging as he suffered a hidden loss!

"How is this possible?!"

Tang San was completely stunned.

He was the holder of both the Sea God and Asura divine positions!

Although he had not yet taken that final step to become a God King, he was still one of the top powerhouses in the God Realm!

Even when facing the God King of Destruction, he did not falter in the slightest!

Yet this mysterious floating island... he could not even investigate it?!

"What in the world is this thing?"

Tang San felt suspicious and uneasy, his expression turning exceptionally grim.

He cast his gaze back toward the ground.

He saw Bei Bei and Tang Ya, who should have been taking Huo Yuhao to Shrek Academy, standing in an open space on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.

And that key figure who should have appeared, Huo Yuhao, was nowhere to be seen!

"Damn it!"

Tang San could not help but curse under his breath.

"The aura of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm has clearly vanished, which means Huo Yuhao has successfully absorbed it."

"But why... is the plot completely in shambles?!"

Tang San looked at the mysterious island floating in the sky, then at the group of soul masters on the ground lining up to board a strange flying Soul Tool, a sudden, intense sense of unease rising in his heart.

"This is also Shrek Academy? No, that's absolutely impossible! This Shrek Academy is definitely not the one I know!"

Tang San was well aware of exactly how much weight Shrek Academy carried; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to use the Son of Luck to put this academy through its paces, having already arranged exactly how and when the important figures would die.

"Could it be that the Son of Luck... has been intercepted by them?"

At this thought, Tang San's expression turned instantly grim, a flash of icy killing intent crossing his eyes.

"No matter who you are, no matter who stands behind you..."

"Disrupting my plans is equivalent to becoming an enemy of the future of the entire Douluo Continent!"

"Huo Yuhao is the Son of Luck born to fulfill a destiny; his fate was set long ago. He exists to save the common people and to uphold justice!"

"If he is led astray and used by you people with ulterior motives, then the entire Douluo Continent will fall into an abyss of eternal damnation!"

"Behavior like yours... is simply courting death!"

Tang San took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the rage in his heart.

Although he longed to descend with divine punishment right now and wipe that eyesore of a floating island from existence, he knew that the God Realm had its rules. As an enforcer, he could not openly strike at the lower realm without concrete evidence, especially with the God King of Destruction watching him like a tiger stalking its prey.

"Since I cannot act openly, I must change my approach."

Light flickered in Tang San's eyes as he quickly calculated his countermeasures.

"Since the Son of Luck is likely already in this strange academy..."

"Then I must plant a piece of my own on the board."

"I originally intended for Xiao Qi to descend to the lower realm and enter the Shrek Academy."

"It seems the plan will have to be adjusted slightly."

Tang San raised his hand, and a golden strand of divine sense instantly tore through the air, heading straight toward the Clear Sky Sect on the Douluo Continent.

"Da Ming, Er Ming."

Tang San's voice was majestic, resonating directly within their minds through his divine sense.

"How has Xiao Qi been lately?"

A moment later, two voices replied.

"Xiao Qi is doing well and is currently cultivating within the sect."

"Mm."

Tang San nodded, his tone carrying a hint of unquestionable authority.

"There have been some changes in the lower realm recently, and a mysterious force called 'Shrek Academy' has emerged out of nowhere."

"I am concerned that this Shrek Academy will have a negative impact on the Douluo Continent. Do not go to the original Shrek Academy; make arrangements for Xiao Qi to enroll in this newly appeared one instead."

"Have her infiltrate it. If you discover any ulterior secrets or actions harmful to the continent, report to me immediately!"

"Tell Xiao Qi to be extremely cautious and under no circumstances reveal her identity."

"Understood!"

Although Da Ming and Er Ming felt some confusion—not understanding why they should avoid the perfectly fine Shrek Academy to attend some newly popped-up imitation, which was obviously a fake—they had stayed on the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years and had never heard of such a place. They assumed this fake academy would be liquidated before long anyway, but... this was Tang San's order, and they naturally dared not disobey.

Cutting off the divine sense connection, Tang San leaned back onto his throne, watching the floating island in the lower realm.

"Hmph."

"No matter how heaven-defying your methods may be, once you have entered my chessboard, don't even think about making any waves."

"Xiao Qi carries my divine imprint. As long as she enters that academy, I will be able to see through her eyes and discern the truth of what lies within."

"When that time comes..."

"If you truly dare to obstruct my grand plan..."

"Then don't blame me for... acting on behalf of the heavens!"
