Tang San: Clumsy Lan Xuanyu (Seeking Collection and Follow-up Reads)

Douluo God Realm.

Rosy clouds swirled, and mist drifted in the air.

A handsome figure, whose very appearance exuded a sense of icy purity and jade-like clarity, stood amidst the clouds. He wore a magnificent blue robe, his frame tall and broad. Most striking was the long, center-parted blue hair that cascaded all the way to the ground—a feature that seemed quite incongruous with his burly physique, though he himself likely did not feel so.

In his hand, he gripped a golden trident he could never bear to set aside. He gazed out into the distance of the endless sea of clouds, though it was unclear what he was looking at.

This man was the pinnacle of power in the God Realm, the God Realm Enforcer, the dual-godhead of [Asura God] and [Sea God]: Tang San.

"Sigh... if things continue like this, everything will fall into chaos..."

Tang San shook his head, his hand resting against his forehead. He let out a soft sigh. The original sense of icy purity in his expression did not vanish, but as golden light shimmered over his body, it was joined by a touch of Buddha-like compassion and pity for the world, as if he could not bear to witness the tragedies of the lower realm.

Over ten thousand years of change, the situation on the Douluo Continent had become chaotic: the Heaven Dou Empire had fractured, the Star Luo Empire had been forced to cede power, and the Sun Moon Empire watched like a tiger eyeing its prey. The Tang Sect had also declined for failing to keep pace with the times. Yet, because the Tang Sect was created by Tang San's own hands and served as the bedrock for his source of faith, he could not bear to see it perish. Thus, he spared no effort in consuming his own fate and divine power to link the destiny of the Tang Sect with the Child of the Plane born every ten thousand years. Under his guidance, the Tang Sect would always be revitalized through the efforts of these Children of the Plane.

However... when he recently observed the Douluo Continent again, he was shocked to discover that the connection between the new star and the Tang Sect had been abruptly... severed!

This was wrong! Terribly wrong!

What Tang San could least accept was for events to unfold beyond his expectations.

Just as he intended to investigate the cause behind the broken link between the new star and the Tang Sect, he was astonished to find that the Douluo Continent had actually birthed a new Child of the Plane!

A powerhouse at his level understood well that a plane usually possessed a plane consciousness; it would never, without reason, give birth to two Children of the Plane in the same era.

Just like in his own era, he was the sole Child of the Plane. Destiny stood on his side, and no matter how talented Bibi Dong or Qian Renxue were, they ultimately fell by his hand.

But this era had birthed two Children of the Plane. This was highly abnormal, especially given the premise that his father, Tang Hao, had already largely replaced the plane consciousness.

After observing for a while through his [Purple Demon Eye], Tang San realized that this new star, Lan Xuanyu, indeed had issues.

If one were to compare the power of fate within [Huo Yuhao] and [Lan Xuanyu] to a sphere of light, the fate within the first new star, Huo Yuhao, was perfectly integrated, shining as brilliantly as the sun—a sight that made Tang San covet it. But the fate within Lan Xuanyu was incomplete; it was much smaller than Huo Yuhao's, patched together here and there like a basketball stitched together by hand, far from the integrity Huo Yuhao possessed.

One was clearly native-born, while the other looked obviously artificial...

...Wait!

Patched together... artificial...

As if he had suddenly grasped a key point, a flash of inspiration struck Tang San, and his eyes lit up.

He understood!

This Lan Xuanyu must be a Child of the Plane artificially created by the remnants of the Douluo Planet's plane consciousness to resist him!

The proof was the incomplete, patched-together fate within Lan Xuanyu. As for why it was incomplete, the most likely reason was a lack of time; the remnant plane consciousness had not had enough time to gather more fate energy to infuse into him.

The Douluo Planet's plane consciousness had discovered that his father was gradually replacing it, and realizing that the original Child of the Plane, Huo Yuhao, was already in his pocket and could not escape, it had decided to make a desperate last stand, gambling its final hope on this Lan Xuanyu!

As for Huo Yuhao, he was merely pushed to the forefront to attract his attention. To achieve this, the remnant plane consciousness had even gone so far as to sever the connection between Huo Yuhao and the Tang Sect, all so that he would focus his energy on Huo Yuhao and lower his guard against Lan Xuanyu!

A confident, triumphant smile curled the corners of Tang San's lips. Did this little trick think it could deceive this God King, known as the God of Wisdom? What a joke!

Plane consciousness, your scheme has been seen through!

"And his martial soul is actually the Blue Silver King... A clumsy plane consciousness, a clumsy Lan Xuanyu indeed."

Did it not know that the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul was the royalty of plant-type martial souls? A mere Blue Silver King could do absolutely nothing in the presence of the Blue Silver Emperor!

After feeling pleased for less than half a minute for seeing through the plane consciousness's petty trick, Tang San's emotions shifted to disappointment and anger.

Oh, vast heavens... why are you so unkind to me...

He, Tang San, had worked tirelessly, day and night, for the long-term stability of the Douluo Continent and the prosperity of the God Realm. He had even sacrificed his own parents, letting them become the [Plane Consciousness] and [Life Core] to dedicate their lives to the Douluo Continent. If these people didn't understand, that was one thing, but to constantly stab him in the back?!

To ensure the Child of the Plane did not stray from the path, he had even allowed his most beloved daughter to descend to the lower realm to accompany his growth, yet they had obstructed him at every turn!

Although the ten-thousand-year plan carried certain risks and sacrifices, from a long-term perspective, once the Douluo Planet was replenished with life energy, it would evolve into a [Semi-God Realm]. This was a merit that would last for generations!

Such short-sighted, heartless plane consciousness—it truly deserved to die!

The more Tang San thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more aggrieved he felt.

Who could ever understand his painstaking efforts...

"Since you, this stubborn plane consciousness, insist on opposing this God King, then do not blame me for being ruthless!"

The Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record General Principles: No Tang Sect disciple shall provoke trouble lightly, but if someone initiates an attack, they shall be met with thunderous retaliation. Once an opponent is confirmed as an enemy, as long as they have a path to death, one must not show mercy, lest it only bring oneself further trouble.

Who told this Lan Xuanyu to rely on the plane consciousness?

He would let this Lan Xuanyu know: once you anger the abbot... do you think the Buddha will let you leave?

Thinking of this, Tang San's lips curled into a smile of calculated perfection. He already had a plan for how to deal with this clumsy Lan Xuanyu!

Of the eighty thousand words in the world, only the word "love" is the most wounding.

He would have to trouble Xiao Qi. He believed that with Xiao Qi's peerless beauty and noble status, she would surely make these two Children of the Plane fall head over heels for her. Of course, he would certainly find a good home for Xiao Qi in the end.

But as the saying goes, how can one see a rainbow without experiencing the storm? He would make them constantly dedicate themselves to Xiao Qi and the Tang Family, and see which of them could compete until the end.
