Tang San: Not good! My plan!!

After a bout of intimacy with Xiao Wu, Tang San's mind was now much clearer.

He even felt that everything had become somewhat dull and flavorless.

He had almost begun to ponder the meaning of life.

But that was not the point.

The point was what Xiao Wu had said to him just moments ago.

Those words left Tang San tossing and turning in his mind.

Although he considered his arrangements to be flawless, he did not have one hundred percent certainty.

Could it be that something truly could occur that was beyond his control?

Yet, he was already a powerhouse at the level of a God King, even possessing dual god positions, reaching the absolute peak of strength attainable in the God Realm. What could possibly escape his grasp?

Could it be that the God of Destruction had discovered what he was doing?

Tang San felt a jolt of alarm; if it were the God of Destruction, who was also a God King, then things would be difficult to predict.

As a veteran God King within the God Realm, the strength of the God of Destruction was unfathomable.

Tang San had always been wary of him.

If this man were truly determined to ruin his plans, Tang San would have no way to stop him.

But upon second thought, he felt this was unlikely.

One had to know that in order for this plan to be implemented smoothly and to avoid detection by the God of Destruction and the others, Tang San had even kept his own wife in the dark, not revealing a single detail.

To this day, Xiao Wu still believed their daughter was off playing somewhere as she always did, and that she would come bouncing back before long.

If Xiao Wu were to truly find out that he had tampered with Xiao Qi's soul for the sake of the luck of the lower realm, she would surely break ties with him.

Thinking of this, Tang San could not help but rub his brow, which had furrowed involuntarily.

This matter must never reach Xiao Wu's ears, at least not for now.

Once the plan succeeded and everything unfolded as he had anticipated, it would not be too late to tell her then.

After much deliberation, Tang San still felt uneasy, so he decided to take a look at the situation on the Douluo Continent.

Although there was a risk of being detected by the God of Destruction and the others, he could no longer afford to worry about that.

He was naturally a suspicious person by nature, and now that the seed of doubt had been sown, he had to confirm whether his plan was proceeding as intended.

Having made up his mind, Tang San no longer hesitated.

He rose quietly and, without disturbing Xiao Wu, left the Asura Mansion and headed straight for the God Realm Hub.

Only by utilizing the power of the Hub could he clearly observe the situation on the Douluo Continent and intervene if necessary.

God Realm Hub.

Unlike lower planes like the Douluo Continent, the God Realm was a magnificent world suspended in the vast universe, composed of floating continents and brilliant nebulae condensed from infinite energy.

Mountains and rivers shimmered with divine light, and palaces forged from star fragments floated amidst the clouds; each structure corresponded to a law of cultivation from which deities drew power to enhance their cultivation.

The God Realm Hub was situated at the very center of the God Realm, like a golden heart, maintaining the balance of the entire plane with the power of chaos.

Tang San had already arrived outside the Hub.

Although the God Realm Hub was of vital importance, no God King was usually stationed there.

The five God Kings were typically occupied with other affairs.

They only gathered here when meetings were held.

No one worried that the God Realm Hub would be exploited or destroyed by those with ulterior motives.

As the primary source of power for the entire God Realm, it was not as fragile as one might imagine.

Weaker divine officials could not even approach the Hub.

Tang San did not hesitate; he strode directly into the Hub and located the viewing window for the Douluo Continent.

He immediately channeled his divine power, beginning to search for the whereabouts of that child of destiny.

With the assistance of the Hub, he locked onto Huo Yuhao's location in less than a second.

However, to Tang San's surprise, the boy seemed to be standing right next to one of his own statues.

What was he doing?

Tang San was curious, so he continued to channel his divine power, projecting the scene at Huo Yuhao's location before his eyes.

When he saw the scene clearly, Tang San was stunned.

Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy, in front of the Sea God Statue.

Huo Yuhao was lighting the third batch of incense for the day.

Yes, the third batch.

After days of development, Huo Yuhao was no longer satisfied with offering only three sticks of incense at a time.

He felt that three sticks lacked sincerity.

After all, this was the God King, and he required a bit of grandeur.

Perhaps the reason he had been ignored previously was simply because his offerings were insufficient, so he decisively increased the dosage.

Now, the area in front of the Sea God Statue was densely packed with burnt incense ash, practically turning into a sacrificial site.

This behavior had continued for many days; fortunately, Huo Yuhao cleaned up the scene every time, otherwise, he likely would have been forbidden from approaching the Sea God Statue long ago.

Why hasn't this old thing reacted yet?

Watching the third batch of incense nearing its end, Huo Yuhao felt helpless.

To be honest, this incense was quite expensive.

So much so that when Tang Ya came to discuss selling grilled fish that evening, he didn't refuse and agreed immediately.

The only condition was that he had to finish his daily check-in task first.

But it was fine; he hadn't expected to attract the God King's attention in such a short time anyway.

A failure or two would not discourage him.

Because Huo Yuhao knew that what he needed to do was actually very simple: just persist.

Persist in playing out this act.

Who knew when that bastard might be watching him?

So, even though he had cursed the God King's ancestors eighteen generations back in his heart, Huo Yuhao appeared extremely respectful on the surface.

He closed his eyes and pressed his palms together, looking very devout, as if he were truly praying in earnest.

In reality, he was calculating where to find Tang Ya to sell grilled fish once he finished his check-in.

In the God Realm, inside the God Realm Hub.

Tang San was a bit dazed. On his way here, he had considered many possibilities, but he never imagined a situation like this.

Could it be... this kid was actually a believer of his??

Is he?

Is he not?

Wait, is this right?

Tang San was left confused by this scene from Huo Yuhao.

His previous arrangements didn't seem to include this plot point, did they?

But it didn't seem to do any harm, right?

Tang San was a bit uncertain.

If this Child of Destiny were truly his believer, then everything that followed would be much simpler.

But if that were the case, what did those segments he specifically arranged to domesticate him count for?

Tang San fell into deep self-doubt.

"It seems there is no problem then."

In short, after seeing Huo Yuhao's performance, Tang San finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The key to everything lay with this Child of Destiny; as long as he was fine, his entire plan would not go awry.

Tang San's originally tense mood eased significantly. No problem, everything was still under his control.

But for the sake of insurance, he increased his divine power once more to inspect whether the cheats he had originally provided for this Child of Destiny were still there.

"Hmm, Spirit Eye martial soul, no problem."

"Sea of Consciousness, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, million-year spirit beast, no problem."

"Demigod Electrolux, no prob..."

"Hmm?"

Staring at the unfamiliar Black Cyclone within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, Tang San suddenly paused.

"What is this thing? Where is the demigod soul fragment I specifically left behind?"

A bad premonition suddenly arose in Tang San's heart.

He suddenly felt as if something within that Black Cyclone had sensed his gaze.

Then, that thing raised its head, its gaze seemingly piercing directly through the thick barrier between Douluo Continent and the God Realm, landing squarely upon him.

Tang San seemed to hear a mocking sneer.

The next moment, the image before his eyes cut off, and the entire God Realm Hub fell into dead silence.

"..."

Tang San's face was now terrifyingly dark.

He had already realized that something had gone wrong with his plan.

And it was a very serious problem at that.

After taking a deep breath, Tang San didn't even hesitate to inject more Asura divine power into the God Realm Hub, immediately mobilizing more permissions in preparation to erase that thing entirely.

He couldn't care about anything else now.

No matter what that thing was, it absolutely could not be allowed to affect the plan he had been preparing for so long!!

But the next moment, a cold voice rang out behind him.

"Sea God."

"What are you doing."
