Background / History
Tang Hao became the Plane Master after Tang San sent him and Ah Yin to the lower realm before the Space-Time Turbulence swept away the God Realm. From this position, Tang Hao and Ah Yin were intended to hold absolute control over the Douluo Plane while Tang Wulin grew according to Tang San's plan. 145
Tang San's broader arrangement required Tang Wulin to enter Shrek Academy, accumulate its resources and prestige, and eventually inherit the remnants of a rebuilt Shrek after the Holy Spirit Cult destroyed the original academy. Tang Hao intended to eliminate Chen Yu so that this plan could continue. 142
Ah Yin was also intended to seize the status of the Life Core, while Tang Hao controlled the plane as its Plane Master. Together, these arrangements would have placed the Tang family in control of the Douluo Plane's principal divine authorities. 145 180
To preserve Tang family control over the plane's future, Tang Hao imposed a restriction barring Soul Masters from becoming gods. Those whose cultivation approached the divine realm would have much of their lifespan erased, forcing peak quasi-gods to halt their advancement. 180
His path to first-rank godhood was later revealed to have used the Abyss Plane and its inhabitants as fuel. The resulting conflict at the Abyss Passage cost the Douluo Plane countless lives over more than six thousand years. 139
As Plane Master, Tang Hao covertly interfered with the development of the plane. Chen Yu identified him as the force suppressing Ya Li's cultivation and intercepting her immense power of faith, while Tang Hao was also responsible for arranging Gu Yuena's amnesia, departure, and eventual encounter with Tang Wulin. 60 122
Tang Hao also manipulated the plane's selection of its Child of Destiny. After Xie Xie was naturally chosen as the Child of Destiny of the era, Tang Hao sent Tang Wulin to him and gradually transferred Xie Xie's Fortune Power to his own grandson over several years. This repeated Tang San's practice of redirecting destiny toward the Tang family. 234
Chen Yu prevented the transfer from succeeding, allowing Xie Xie to retain his Fortune Power. Tang Hao's death and the collapse of his authority consequently ended his attempt to manufacture Tang Wulin's destiny. 234
Chen Yu later assessed that Tang Hao's eventual fusion with the plane's will had depended on Tang San's repeated efforts to weaken the Douluo Plane's overall strength, yet still took Tang Hao thousands of years to accomplish. 219
Appearance
Tang Hao manifests with overwhelming divine pressure, often accompanied by blood-red radiance that darkens the sky. During his final descent over Federation Plaza, his presence made it difficult for the crowd below to breathe. 143
- Wields the Clear Sky Hammer, a weapon associated with his divine might. 143 144
- His hammer could emit seven-colored radiance retaining remnants of Plane Master power even after he lost the position. 114
- Wore robes that snapped in the wind as he departed the Clear Sky Sect to confront Chen Yu. 142
Personality
Tang Hao is controlling and calculating, using his authority over the plane to direct cultivation, faith, and even the circumstances surrounding Tang Wulin's future. His willingness to use the Abyss Plane as fuel for ascension demonstrates his readiness to sacrifice others for power. 60 122 139
He further maintained Tang family dominance by restricting other Soul Masters' paths to godhood, using the loss of lifespan to deter those who approached the divine realm. 180
His manipulation of Xie Xie's Fortune Power shows that his control extended beyond cultivation and faith to the plane's natural distribution of destiny. He favored Tang Wulin because of his bloodline, treating the genuine Child of Destiny as a resource to be stripped and reassigned. 234
After losing his Plane Master authority, he remained intensely arrogant. He regarded Chen Yu's godhood as luck, assumed Chen Yu was merely a newly ascended God Official, and believed his own experience as a former Plane Master guaranteed victory. 142
His defeat also drives the later actions of Ah Yin, whose resentment toward Chen Yu is rooted in Tang Hao's death. 157 162

- Gu Yuena — Tang Hao orchestrated her amnesia, departure, and appearance before Tang Wulin. 122
- Xie Xie — The genuine Child of Destiny of the era; Tang Hao attempted to strip him of his Fortune Power and transfer it to Tang Wulin. 234

Story Role / Major Arcs
Manipulation as Plane Master
Chen Yu traces Ya Li's stalled cultivation and missing faith to Tang Hao, identifying him as the hidden Plane Master responsible for suppressing breakthroughs and redirecting faith for his own use. 60
Enforcement of the Divine Restriction
Tang Hao's control over the Douluo Plane extended to a prohibition on mortal ascension. Peak quasi-gods who attempted to take even a half-step toward godhood risked having most of their lifespans erased, maintaining the Tang family's dominance over the plane's divine future. 180
Manipulation of the Child of Destiny
Tang Hao interfered with the plane's natural selection of the era's Child of Destiny. Although Xie Xie possessed the genuine Fortune Power and the potential to become a major figure, Tang Hao arranged for Tang Wulin to accompany him and slowly redirected that fortune toward the Tang family descendant. 234
Chen Yu exposed and prevented the transfer, restoring Xie Xie's rightful destiny and leaving Tang Wulin without the protection Tang Hao had attempted to obtain for him. 234
Loss of Plane Master Authority
Public condemnation of Ya Li corrupts the faith Tang Hao had taken from her. The resulting backlash causes the will of the plane to abandon him, strips him of his authority, damages his divine throne, and leaves him severely injured. 61 62
Return to the Clear Sky Sect
Tang Hao returns to the Clear Sky Sect to recover, giving Shrek Academy renewed hope in a god-level protector. He eventually restores himself only to the level of a God Official, at the cost of the sect's accumulated foundation. 100 142
Final Battle with Chen Yu
After learning of the Tang Sect's destruction and Shrek's impending fall, Tang Hao attacks Chen Yu at Federation Plaza. His Clear Sky Hammer collides with Chen Yu's Human Emperor Fist, which carries the will of hundreds of millions of people. 142 143
The Human Emperor Fist shatters the Clear Sky Hammer and destroys Tang Hao, exposing his memories and the secrets of Tang San's plans to the public. 144
Posthumous Collapse of the Clear Sky Sect
Following Tang Hao's death and the public exposure of Tang San's schemes, the Clear Sky Sect lost its divine backing and fell into internal disarray. Its remaining leadership recognized that it could no longer oppose Chen Yu after the deaths of Tang Hao and Tang San's downfall. 196
When the sect again provoked the Federation after one of its disciples assaulted a person for mocking Tang San, Chen Yu arranged for Di Tian to act against it. Di Tian subsequently annihilated the Clear Sky Sect at its new residence. 195 196 198
Legacy in the Altered Future
Tang Hao's death left Tang San's descendants alive but without the divine structure and destiny manipulation that had been intended to guide them. Tang San and Tang Hao were later regarded as dead, while Tang Wutong and Tang Wulin survived into the altered future. 233
The destruction of Tang Hao's plans allowed the era's genuine Child of Destiny, Xie Xie, to retain his Fortune Power and pursue a future independent of Tang family control. 234
