Background / History
Tang San's long-standing influence over the Douluo Plane rested on faith, Shrek Academy, and control of the path to godhood. Records made public in the Federation reveal that, for twenty thousand years, godhood was effectively limited to Tang San's blood relatives or those connected to him through marriage, while other Soul Masters remained shut out regardless of their service to Shrek. 115
He knew of the coming Space-Time Turbulence but withheld its specifics from the other gods. Before the God Realm was swept away, he sent Tang Hao and Ah Yin to the lower realm, arranged for Tang Hao to become Plane Master, and sent Tang Wulin to grow up in the Douluo Plane as part of a larger plan. 144 145
Tang San's lower-realm network cultivated faith through manufactured dependence. The Holy Spirit Cult created danger, while Shrek Academy and its forces were positioned as protectors; public fear and gratitude then fed faith back to Tang San. The Cult's possession of the Clear Sky Sect's secret Ring Detonation technique is presented as evidence of this connection. 107
He also deliberately brought the Abyss Plane to the Douluo Plane, knowing that the God Realm would lose its ability to protect the lower realm after the Space-Time Turbulence. The Abyss conflict and the Blood God Legion's sacrifices ultimately aided Tang Hao's ascent rather than serving only the interests of the Douluo Plane. 145
Personality
Tang San operates through extensive, concealed planning rather than open explanation. Although he warned the God Realm of an unspecified catastrophe, he provided neither a timeline nor clear details while obstructing the God of Destruction's plan to expand and reinforce the God Realm. 144
His reliance on faith made public perception central to his power, but he treated the people supplying that faith as instruments within his arrangements. When the backlash destroyed his Sea God position, he immediately chose to drain Xiao Wu's power to preserve his remaining godhood, speaking gently while acting without visible compassion. 146
Abilities & Skills
Faith-Based Divinity
Tang San used the faith of living beings across the Douluo Plane to sustain his Sea God authority and rise to the rank of God King.
- Refined twenty thousand years of accumulated faith into divine power. 115 116
- Maintained a vast faith network through Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, Sea God worship, and the Holy Spirit Cult's cycle of manufactured crises. 107
- Faith became a fatal vulnerability once public reverence turned to resentment; the backlash crossed dimensional barriers and cracked his divine cores. 116
Sea God Divine Position
Tang San possessed the Sea God position until the collective backlash of faith shattered it.
- The Sea God divine core began cracking under the accumulated resentment of Soul Masters and civilians. 116
- His Sea God position was destroyed during the second major backlash, causing his cultivation to collapse through multiple divine ranks. 146
- The destruction of this position removed one half of his dual-God King foundation. 147
Asura Divine Position
The Asura position served as Tang San's final means of preserving his status after the Sea God position fell.
- He forcibly absorbed Xiao Wu's power and fully inherited the Asura position, becoming the Asura God King. 146
- In this state, his hair turned white, his clothing became blood-red, and a cold slaughter aura surrounded him. 146
- The transformed backlash of faith became the power of humanity and cracked, then shattered, the Asura position as well. 146 147
Long-Term Divine Schemes
Tang San's plans extended across the God Realm and the Douluo Plane.
- Knew about the Space-Time Turbulence before it struck, but did not fully disclose it to the other gods. 144 145
- Arranged Tang Hao and Ah Yin's descent to the lower realm, where Tang Hao became Plane Master and Ah Yin became the Life Core. 145
- Sent Tang Wulin to the Douluo Plane to grow under a planned path toward godhood. 142 145
- Used the Abyss Plane's arrival and the continuing threat of Evil Soul Masters to preserve the relevance, authority, and faith base of Shrek-linked forces. 107 145
Equipment / Items
- Sea God Helmet replica — A replica of Tang San's divine equipment, crafted for the Sea God Family so it could preserve sufficient power and maintain faith in the Sea God. Its wearer can command the sea, create massive waves, and summon storms. 28
Relationships
- Chen Yu — Primary adversary. Chen Yu exposed Tang San's arrangements in the Douluo Plane, fueled the backlash of faith against him, and ultimately shattered both of his divine positions across dimensions. 115 145 147
- Tang Hao — Father and former Plane Master of the Douluo Plane. Tang Hao carried out Tang San's lower-realm arrangements and acted on his plans despite not fully understanding them. 60 144 145
- Ah Yin — Mother. She remained in the Douluo Plane after Tang Hao's death and continued attempting to preserve Tang San's plans. 145 157
- Xiao Wu — Entrusted with guarding the Sea God Temple during Tang San's first faith backlash. When his Sea God position broke, he forcibly absorbed her power to inherit the Asura position. 116 146
- Tang Wulin — Son sent to the Douluo Plane to grow as part of Tang San's long-term plan for rebuilding Shrek and consolidating Tang family influence. 142 145
- Huo Yuhao — Son-in-law through Tang San's daughter; his ascension was publicly presented as part of the pattern in which Tang San's connected relatives alone could attain godhood. 115
- Lie Yan and Ji Dong — The Kindness and Evil God Kings who intervened after Tang San's defeat, shielding and stabilizing his collapsing body. 147
- Shrek Academy — Its prestige, godhood monopoly, and role as a source of public faith were closely tied to Tang San's legacy and network. 84 107 115
- Holy Spirit Cult — A force led by Tang San that generated crises which Shrek-associated forces could resolve, creating a recurring source of faith. 107
Downfall
The exposure of Shrek Academy's role in monopolizing godhood turned the faith of the Douluo Plane against Tang San. Soul Masters and civilians who had worshipped the Sea God instead directed hatred and resentment toward him, creating a backlash that reached the God Realm. 115 116
The first backlash cracked Tang San's Sea God and Asura divine cores, forcing him into seclusion. A later surge shattered the Sea God position outright. Tang San preserved himself temporarily by absorbing Xiao Wu's power and taking full control of the Asura position. 116 146
The resentment of billions was then transformed into the power of humanity. Chen Yu's projection crossed the dimensional barrier between the Douluo Plane and the God Realm and struck Tang San with this power, shattering the Asura position and ending Tang San's ambition to command the Great God Circle. 146 147
