Tang San then intended to examine Tang Wutong's memories, but the moment he did, he was shocked.
The more Tang San looked, the more wrong things felt. He couldn't help but feel that this young girl's character was exactly the same as his daughter's, yet he remembered sealing his daughter's soul away, didn't he?
He hurriedly channeled his divine power, surging it into Tang Wutong's body to investigate. Shortly after, he discovered a grave problem: the soul of the Radiant Goddess Butterfly was gone!
This sudden turn of events threw Tang San into a panic. His subconscious first thought was his nemesis, the God of Destruction, assuming he was the one behind it.
He quickly dismissed the notion as impossible. If the God of Destruction had truly discovered the schemes he had set in motion in the lower realm—his attempts to bring the Child of Destiny under his own banner—he would have come to confront him directly, rather than simply taking the soul of the Radiant Goddess Butterfly.
There must be someone else!
With this thought, Tang San carefully probed Tang Wutong's memories once more and discovered a remarkable young man: Song Mu.
"It seems this brat, relying on his mysterious martial soul, has accidentally disrupted this God King's plans."
"However, to dare to ruin this God King's ten-thousand-year grand design... boy, you have already paved your own path to death!"
"But since this God King cannot personally descend to the lower realm to deal with you, I shall let you hop around for a few more days. No, I will have Niu Tian and Titan go kill him instead."
With a plan formed, Tang San decided to dispatch Niu Tian and Titan to eliminate Song Mu directly, preventing the boy from interfering with his schemes any further.
Once the plan was set, Tang San couldn't help but sneer.
Immediately, he turned his gaze back to Tang Wutong and discovered that her soul was actually somewhat fractured.
This was not caused by his recent memory probe, but rather the damage inflicted by the divine consciousness he had previously left within her.
In the past, to prevent the Radiant Goddess Butterfly's soul from dominating the body, that divine consciousness would activate automatically if she wasn't on good terms with the Child of Destiny, forcing the Radiant Goddess Butterfly's soul to develop an inexplicable affection for him.
While this ability was potent, it caused damage to the soul.
Because the Radiant Goddess Butterfly's soul had left this vessel so early, that divine consciousness had ultimately acted upon his daughter's own soul.
However, even though Tang Wutong's soul was damaged, Tang San believed that such minor sacrifices were acceptable for the sake of taming the Child of Destiny.
"Wutong, my good daughter, you have done well. When you return, Daddy will reward you handsomely."
Tang San muttered to himself before channeling his divine consciousness to transmit information to Niu Tian and Titan.
"Niu Tian, Titan, go to Shrek Academy and kill a boy named Song Mu."
At the same time, Tang San transmitted Song Mu's appearance, the look of his martial soul, and some of his abilities to the two of them.
Upon receiving Tang San's command, the two were slightly puzzled, but they would never defy him. They replied in unison: "As you command!"
On the other side, Wang Dong'er slowly moved her hand away from the jade pillar, having sensed the information from it that she no longer needed to keep her hand there.
She then turned and left the Ascension Pavilion.
Outside the pavilion, Niu Tian and Titan were waiting. Seeing Tang Wutong emerge, they stepped forward and asked, "How was it? Did anything else happen?"
Tang Wutong shook her head. "Nothing happened. It's the same as usual."
Hearing this, confusion flashed in both their eyes. They couldn't understand why Tang San had issued a kill order the moment Tang Wutong went inside.
Niu Tian said, "Xiao Dong, just stay in the Clear Sky Sect for this holiday. Your Second Uncle and I have some business to attend to."
Tang Wutong asked in confusion, "Ah? What business?"
The two did not answer her question, instead brushing it off with vague remarks.
Tang Wutong said disappointedly, "Alright, then come back soon."
Afterward, Tang Wutong returned to her room to rest.
Seeing that she had left, Niu Tian and Titan exchanged a glance. Niu Tian spoke first: "Let's go. We're heading to Shrek Academy."
Titan agreed, and the two departed the Clear Sky Sect.
Once outside, they both transformed into streaks of light and flew toward Shrek Academy.
Niu Tian and Titan were originally super soul beasts that had cultivated for over a hundred thousand years. Ten thousand years ago, they had both sacrificed themselves for Tang San, and after Tang San became a god, he resurrected them.
Following their resurrection, they served as divine officials in the God Realm. Over the thousands of years that passed on the Douluo Continent, they had followed Tang San's orders to reside in the Clear Sky Sect as the Sect Master and Vice Sect Master.
While they could not exert their full power as divine officials in the lower realm, they still possessed the strength of Limit Douluos.
With their power, their flight speed was naturally immense, and it didn't take long for them to reach Shrek Academy.
After entering the academy, they did not stop, flying straight toward the Sea God Pavilion.
However, they were intercepted halfway.
Below the freshman dormitory building of the Shrek Outer Court.
Mu En looked at these two uninvited guests with a grave expression.
The strength of these two was not the slightest bit inferior to his own.
Mu En asked, "I wonder where you two friends have come from? And what brings you to my Shrek Academy?"
Niu Tian and Titan rarely left the Clear Sky Sect, but they were still aware of the affairs of the continent. They knew the man before them was the strongest in Shrek Academy and the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En.
Niu Tian said, "Mu En, he and I are the Sect Master and Vice Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect. We have come today to find someone: Song Mu."
Hearing this, Mu En asked in confusion, "Oh? I wonder why you two are looking for this student?"
Titan said coldly, "That is not for you to ask. Tell me quickly, where is that brat Song Mu!"
Seeing Titan's reaction, Mu En thought of something.
Some time ago, Chen Yunlin had come to Shrek Academy and was currently staying in Shrek City. After arriving at the academy, he had sought out Yan Shaozhe to discuss certain matters, and Yan Shaozhe had relayed them to him.
It was essentially that Song Mu had guessed someone might come to Shrek Academy looking for him, so he had left early to lay low.
It seems these two are the people Song Mu was talking about, Mu En thought.
Mu En said, "That student left Shrek Academy after the break began. I don't know where he is currently."
Niu Tian asked, "Where did he go?"
Mu En shook his head and replied, "I don't know."
Seeing Mu En's reaction, Titan shouted angrily, "Finding Song Mu is the Sea God's order! Do you intend to defy it?"
After he said this, Niu Tian immediately grabbed his arm and sent a sound transmission, telling him not to reveal that this was Tang San's command.
Titan realized he had spoken out of turn in his impatience and fell silent, merely glaring at Mu En.
Mu En said, "This old man truly does not know. Please return, the two of you."
Seeing that they could get nothing out of Mu En, Niu Tian and his companion decided to return to the Clear Sky Sect first to ask Tang San what to do.
With that, Titan shot one last glare at Mu En before following Niu Tian away.
