Xiao Wu glanced at the Titan Giant Ape with some guilt. There was no need for the Titan Giant Ape to say it—its ability to survive the dangerous period and successfully grow to a hundred-thousand-year cultivation had depended greatly on the help of the two top-bloodline soul beasts, the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python.
Did it really think that, back when she was weak and had yet to take human form, she had nothing better to do than flee from the jaws of countless predators, honing her survival skills, and then save the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python just because she was some kind-hearted, naive fool?
Whether it was the Sky Azure Bull Python or the Titan Giant Ape, both were omnivores. They ate both plants and meat. Perhaps before meeting her, some of the meat they had eaten had been rabbit.
If the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python had not possessed noble bloodlines, capable of fighting ten-thousand-year soul beasts after only a thousand years of cultivation, and if she had not guessed that they would grow powerful enough to protect her, then she would have had to be out of her mind to save them in the Star Dou Great Forest, where who knew how many soul beasts died every day.
Xiao Wu closed her eyes and transformed into a pink orb of light. Within it, a pink phantom gradually emerged.
Xiao Wu began shaping her face and figure, using her mother Ah Rou's human appearance as a reference. If Ah Rou's style was that of a mature and gentle beauty, then Xiao Wu's overall temperament leaned toward that of a lively and adorable young girl, with straight hair that reached all the way to her feet.
She had not forgotten what Ah Rou had said: only the one a girl loved could comb her hair. Perhaps going to the human world would allow her to find a sweet romance.
If she truly encountered a talented and suitable human, then aside from having a sweet romance, it would be best if she could borrow his strength so they could take revenge on Spirit Hall together and rescue Ah Rou.
In the end, Xiao Wu turned into a newborn baby, naked from head to toe, with skin as fair, smooth, and tender as a freshly peeled egg. She had even lost the ability to speak, retaining only a brain capable of normal thought.
The Titan Giant Ape showed no reaction upon seeing the naked Xiao Wu. It had never lived in the human world, so its sense of beauty was still different from that of humans.
Afterward, the Titan Giant Ape embarked on the path of a stay-at-home father, raising Xiao Wu as she grew up.
Somewhere on Douluo Continent.
A tall man with an unkempt beard and messy hair like a bird's nest held a baby just a few months old in his arms as he gazed toward a certain direction.
This tall man was Tang Hao, and the direction he was looking toward was the Clear Sky Sect.
A moment later, Tang Hao rubbed his head, his brows furrowing as he muttered, "What is wrong with me? I already know the sect's decision. That coward Qian Daoliu, my grandfather's defeated subordinate, would never dare violate the promise he made to my grandfather and set foot in those mountains. Why did I suddenly decide to go support the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Even if I return to the Clear Sky Sect, how could I alone stand against Spirit Hall's massive Soul Master army? This is completely walking into a trap and ruining the Clear Sky Sect's plan."
Hearing this, Tang San's eyes rolled around in Tang Hao's arms, as though he were deep in thought.
Tang Hao did not know that the baby in his arms was no ordinary infant. Confusion and excitement intertwined within the baby's heart, because he was Tang San, a God King who had returned after reincarnating through suicide.
(PS: I won't bring in too many this time—just Tang San, Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun.)
Because Xiao Wu missed Tang Wulin too deeply, she had died from illness after overwhelming grief. Tang San had been devastated and unwilling to live alone, so he chose suicide, scattering his divine consciousness into hundreds and thousands of fragments in the hope that one of them could be reborn into the world where Xiao Wu had reincarnated.
What delighted Tang San beyond measure was that he had unexpectedly been reborn tens of thousands of years in the past. This was practically the perfect reincarnation opening. The contemplation he had just shown was because, on this timeline, Qian Xunji had only just been killed by Bibi Dong. Spirit Hall, that hypocritical evil force, had pinned the blame on his father and the Clear Sky Sect, attacking the Clear Sky Sect and forcing it into seclusion.
In his memory, the Clear Sky Sect seemed to have suffered a surprise attack and retreated in a panic. There had been no plan at all. His father also seemed not to have gone to support the Clear Sky Sect midway through. So why had he gone to provide support this time, only to stop halfway there?
Was this somewhat hesitant personality really his father, who had dominated the world?
After thinking for a while, Tang San still found no answer and decided not to dwell on it. Perhaps he had still been sleeping in his previous life and had not understood the situation clearly. Maybe the Clear Sky Sect really had prepared in advance. After all, nine Title Douluo elders, the Seven Great Pontiffs, and tens of thousands of Soul Masters were enough combat power to wipe out four or five Clear Sky Sects, yet a large number of direct disciples of the Clear Sky Sect had still made it to those mountains and gone into seclusion.
Tang San's thoughts returned to his beloved Xiao Wu, whose death from illness had torn his heart apart and plunged him into despair. Then he thought of seeing the lively, healthy Xiao Wu again at Nuoding Academy six years later, and his eyes burst with intense surprise, anticipation, and longing.
This reincarnation was truly fantastic. He was a God King, and he still remembered the Tang Sect's secret techniques. He had not used the Clear Sky Secret Techniques for too long and might be a little rusty with them, but with his talent and learning ability, he only needed to practice them again.
With the experience of returning through reincarnation, the sacrifices of Xiao Wu that had twice left him devastated and nearly heartbroken, as well as Xiao Wu's death from illness, naturally would not happen. He could fulfill his old promise and protect Xiao Wu properly.
As for Spirit Hall? He did not take it seriously at all. It was merely a mortal force. He was a reincarnated God King, with the script in hand. Those people were nothing more than dried bones in graves! He only had to kill them once more.
What deserved more of his attention was that idiot Destruction. Destruction bore at least eighty percent of the responsibility for Xiao Wu's death from illness and his own second death.
The Sea God was ultimately only a First-Class God position. Even if he used the power of faith from Douluo Continent to elevate himself to a Supreme God position, he still could not defeat the God of Destruction, nor was it as useful as his Asura God position, whose proficiency was not yet maxed out.
This time, he would inherit the Asura God position himself. He would give the Sea God position to Xiao Wu and let Xiao Wu serve as the sleeve for the Sea God Trident.
That way, once he maxed out his proficiency with the Asura God position and made proper preparations, joining forces with the Seven Elemental Deities, he would no longer need to fear the God of Destruction. If the God of Destruction wanted to rebel, he could gather his strength, capture that treacherous subject, and imprison him within the God Realm Hub.
When the Space-Time Turbulence arrived and proved that he had been right, he would release the God of Destruction and let that man redeem himself through merit, burning divine fire alongside the God of Life to resist the Space-Time Turbulence.
By then, the God Realm would not be swept away entirely by the Space-Time Turbulence. With the Seed of Life of the God of Destruction and God of Life in hand, along with the Golden Dragon King Divinity, everything would be settled.
Having figured it out, Tang Hao flew toward Holy Soul Village with Tang San. Tang San silently said, "Six years. Xiao Wu, Nuoding Academy, wait for me."
