Wang Dong (Tang San): Huo Yuhao, Hatred is Wrong

"Wang Dong, my father... he is an irresponsible man. Honestly, he hurt my mother. He had relations with her, and then I was conceived, but the problem is he chose not to take responsibility. I have never seen what my father looks like in person; I have only seen his appearance in portraits at home."

"I have never spoken to my father. He did return home a few times, but he never once saw my mother, as if she were merely a woman he could enjoy at any time, a prostitute... I know it might not be right to say this about my mother, but the issue is that in my father's eyes, my mother was likely just that—a woman of the streets, someone to be used for pleasure whenever he wished."

"That is why I have no affection for my father, and why I swore to take revenge. I want to become a powerful Soul Master and rise up against him, to make him regret abandoning my mother and treating her that way. I want him to understand that my mother was not someone he could bully at will."

During this period, Huo Yuhao had come to treat Wang Dong as someone he could talk to. Although he was not yet someone he could fully trust, he was at least someone to whom he could confide some of his inner thoughts.

Huo Yuhao had been hoping to pour out some of the things weighing on his heart during this time.

Originally, Huo Yuhao had most wanted to share his thoughts and experiences with Big Brother Beibei or Tang Ya, but the problem was that they were not in the same class. Now, if Huo Yuhao wanted to talk, he could only speak to Wang Dong.

"Huo Yuhao... although I don't know how to put this, based on what you've said, I feel like you might be a noble's illegitimate child, right? Are you a noble's bastard? That would be more logical; after all, a commoner's family... it doesn't seem like they would have a child with a story like yours. Only nobles would have that possibility."

At this moment, although Wang Dong's mind and soul were in a state of division, he was still able to analyze the details of Huo Yuhao's family life from his description, guessing that Huo Yuhao was likely an illegitimate noble child.

This was indeed quite logical. The White Tiger Duke was a ruler of the former Star Luo Empire, and the Dai Clan's martial soul was the White Tiger martial soul.

However, since the Star Luo Empire was now ruled by the Xu Clan and the Star Crown Sect, the White Tiger Duke was simply a noble, or rather, the White Tiger Dai Clan was a noble family; there was no real difference.

"I am indeed a noble's illegitimate child. My father is a noble, a noble from the Star Luo Empire. But the problem is, even if he is a noble, he shouldn't be allowed to treat my mother that way, right? He enjoyed a girl's body and had a child; at the very least, he should take responsibility."

"Besides, my mother was not some woman of the streets. She was a commoner, not a slave, nor was she an outcast."

"This... what you say does indeed make sense. Even if your mother wasn't a noble, she was still a commoner. He enjoyed your mother's body and had a child; he really should have at least taken responsibility."

"That is why I am so furious. Why did my mother have to suffer such treatment? I suffered unfair treatment alone, but the problem is my mother suffered the same. We were abused by the servants of the Duke's mansion, and the food we ate and the clothes we wore were terrible."

"That is why I am so angry, and why I swore that I would become strong. When the time comes, I will destroy the noble mansion and take revenge on my biological father."

Huo Yuhao had finally spoken his true feelings, but as Wang Dong listened to this story, he should have felt that Huo Yuhao's biological father was going too far and should have stood on Huo Yuhao's side. However, Wang Dong realized at this moment that the Sea God's seal was not satisfied with this.

"Young man, revenge is not a good thing, especially when the person is your father. Being blinded by hatred is wrong."

This person was the Sea God Tang San, or rather, a sliver of Tang San's divine consciousness, a clone within Wang Dong's mind. Wang Dong had already begun to be influenced at this moment.

"Huo Yuhao, no matter what, that person is still your father. Being blinded by hatred is ultimately not a good thing."

"You..." Huo Yuhao did not know what to say at this moment. Indeed, those words were quite reasonable; that person was his father.

"It's working. Guide him slowly, and in time, he will become a servant of our Tang Clan!"

This was what Tang San was thinking. Tang San was being a hypocrite here; back then, his father Tang Hao and his mother had a massive conflict with Martial Soul Hall, so why didn't Tang San choose to give up his revenge against Martial Soul Hall? One must know that Tang San's Gold Soul Coin subsidies and his martial soul awakening were both facilitated by Martial Soul Hall.

It was Martial Soul Hall's policy; otherwise, given Tang Hao's irresponsible behavior, could someone like Tang San have become a Soul Master?

If not for Martial Soul Hall, how could the two great empires have been willing to issue Gold Soul Coin subsidies to commoner Soul Masters? If not for Martial Soul Hall, would the two great empires have been willing to awaken the martial souls of commoner children? The fact is that in the second part of Peerless Tang Sect, without Martial Soul Hall, commoner children had no way to awaken their martial souls. There was even a Title Douluo who only awakened his martial soul at the age of 18, simply because his family had no money and he had to wait until he was 18 to afford it.

Many commoner Soul Masters, having no other path, had no choice but to join the factions of noble Soul Masters and act as their dogs just to earn enough Gold Soul Coins to survive.

After Tang San destroyed Martial Soul Hall, he neither formulated a better replacement policy nor established a corresponding institutional organization.

It could also be said that Tang San was truly not a good person; he was both a hypocrite and a scourge to Douluo Planet. That such a person became a god—whether as the Asura God or the Sea God—was a complete travesty.

Or perhaps, neither the Asura God nor the Sea God were good people; they were all the same type of person as Tang San. Otherwise, why would they have chosen Tang San? Because they were all cut from the same cloth.

The God Realm was the same; most gods were not good people, acting by any means necessary for their own interests. Only someone like the Destruction God King acted sincerely for the development of the God Realm.

Yet, even such an excellent and upright God King eventually died in Tang San's conspiracy. It could be said that the entire history of the development of Douluo Continent, or rather the story of Tang San, was a story of sucking others' blood, eating human flesh, and drinking human blood.
