Endless Fire Territory Has Yao Lao, but the God Realm Never Saw Yu Xiaogang

[Yet Tang San, who held both the God King and Sea God Authority,]

[actually had at least five unused slots for ascension.]

[He did not bring his parents because they had already become rulers of the Douluo Plane;]

[he did not bring his mentor to godhood, perhaps believing it more proper to let him enjoy his old age in the mortal world;]

[he did not help his brother reunite with his beloved, perhaps believing such regret would better spur his growth.]

[When faced with his brother's questioning, he merely replied, "God Realm enforcers must not show favoritism."]

[But the newly appointed God Kings of Goodness and Evil revealed:]

[if all five God Kings reached a consensus, making an exception to bring someone to godhood would not be difficult.]

[Perhaps that was the true reason Ma Hongjun had guarded the lava alone for twenty years.]

"Yao Lao is in the Endless Fire Territory, but Yu Xiaogang is nowhere to be seen in the God Realm!"

The opening title had finally been fulfilled at the end!

Not only had Yu Xiaogang not been brought up,

even his brother's beloved had been treated coldly!

The Heavens and Myriad Worlds truly could not understand

why Tang San had been unwilling to help his mentor ascend to godhood.

If Yu Xiaogang still had attachments in the mortal world,

they were nothing more than his bond with the Golden Iron Triangle.

And Tang San held five slots in his hand.

Even if Xiao Wu occupied one, there were still four vacancies left!

If Yu Xiaogang wished to bring old friends along,

why would there be any shortage of room?

Was this truly Tang San, who claimed to respect his teacher and honor the Way?

Your biological father had already become the ruler of the Douluo Continent, enjoying an endless lifespan!

Yet the mentor you had constantly called your second father had already turned to dust in the mortal world!

What a fine example of respecting one's teacher and honoring the Way!

Through the full display of this footage, Tang San's true character had been completely exposed.

At his core, he was an out-and-out egoist.

Yet the praise he received from the outside world was much like the flattery heaped upon the Grandmaster—

all undeserved.

No matter how many glittering titles he was given, they could not conceal his selfish nature.

There were countless selfish people in the world,

and if that were all there was to Tang San, he would not have been so detestable.

What people found most contemptible was how differently he spoke and acted—

he said one thing, thought another, and did a third!

How could such a hypocrite with double standards not disgust people?

Now look at Xiao Yan. Who would call him a sage who sacrificed himself for righteousness?

He openly admitted that he was not so great.

He was merely an ordinary man fighting for his family and friends, with selfish motives of his own!

Yet that was precisely what showed how genuine he was.

And Tang San?

He was even more selfish than Xiao Yan at heart,

yet insisted on pretending to be a hundred times nobler than Xiao Yan!

If he faced danger with no one around to witness it,

he would certainly be the first to flee!

The most admirable thing about Xiao Yan and the other Children of Destiny was this—

a drop of kindness must be repaid with a gushing spring!

If you gave me a measure of goodwill, I would repay it tenfold!

Tang San, however, was the exact opposite.

You could give everything to help him, and he would offer only the slightest token in return!

Kindness as vast as a spring was repaid with only a drop!

Just look at what happened to Dugu Bo—

he handed the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well over to Tang San,

and even allowed him to pick Immortal Herbs and medicinal ingredients as he pleased.

Tang San practically stripped the secret realm bare,

giving Immortal Herbs to himself and every member of the Shrek Seven Devils,

yet he did not leave Dugu Bo even a single stalk!

Do not claim there had been no Immortal Herb suitable for Dugu Bo.

Who would believe that?

Could he not even find a spiritual medicine that strengthened one's foundation and replenished one's vitality?

Tang San probably thought:

These Immortal Herbs are merely the payment I deserve for curing his poison!

Once they are in my hands, they are mine!

You once tried to take my life. What right do you have to share the Immortal Herbs?

Wishful thinking!

And the reason Tang San had been unwilling to bring the Grandmaster to the God Realm

was that the Grandmaster's help to Tang San had truly been limited.

Helping him break through the level-thirty barrier should already have earned his grateful thanks!

And he still dreamed of ascending to the God Realm together?

Even more infuriating was that he had not brought Ma Hongjun's wife, Bai Chenxiang, to the God Realm.

Treating a brother this way was already unrighteous,

but what chilled people most was that she was the cousin whose match you had arranged—

you clearly held unused slots, yet were unwilling to fulfill their marriage.

Even if you had no slots, could you not make an exception as a God Realm enforcer?

Did you have to preserve that so-called image of impartiality?

If you were friends with Xiao Yan, then after he became the Flame Emperor, he would still return to drink with you;

if you called Tang San your sworn brother—

hehe, he would not even help his brother's beloved. Did he deserve to be called human?

Battle Through the Heavens World—

Xiao Yan was deeply puzzled by Tang San's actions.

Since he had not even brought his teaching mentor to the God Realm,

why was he also so cold toward his brother's beloved?

On the surface, that question seemed to put the cart before the horse—

if even one's teacher could be abandoned,

what did the treatment of a brother's wife matter?

Could a spouse possibly rank above a teacher?

But that was not the case!

One only had to examine the whole matter to see:

Yu Xiaogang's help to Tang San was far less than Ma Hongjun's wholehearted companionship.

Tang San had already repaid Yu Xiaogang with utmost benevolence.

Even though he had not brought him to the God Realm,

he had fully repaid the kindness of his past teachings.

This was actually one of Tang San's rare cases of repaying a drop of kindness with a gushing spring.

Before becoming a god, he helped him break through the level-thirty bottleneck;

after becoming a god, he acknowledged him as an adoptive father and revered elder,

and even saved his life and helped increase his cultivation.

Such repayment had long surpassed that meager kindness from the beginning!

But Ma Hongjun was entirely different!

He had followed Tang San into battle everywhere,

and joined the Tang Sect among the very first when it was founded.

For such a devoted friend, you had available slots and still refused to fulfill his marriage?

How could anyone behave like that toward a brother?

Not to mention that there had been slots available—even if there had not been, he should have found a way to make an exception!

It should have been an effortless matter,

yet Tang San chose to stand by and do nothing.

It was truly impossible to understand his intentions.

After Xiao Yan established himself in the Great Thousand World,

the first thing he did was connect it to his homeland.

Using supreme divine power, he brought the lower realm into the influence of the power he had founded,

and poured vast resources back into his native land.

Xiao Yan even continuously sent Source Qi back to the Dou Qi Continent, where it had been depleted for ten thousand years,

allowing all living beings on the Dou Qi Continent to seek the Emperor Realm!

That was precisely why he found Tang San's actions even harder to understand.

Could it be that when one person attained the Dao, even the chickens and dogs were cast aside?

"When responsibility was required, he shirked it. When consideration was needed, he became stingy. Such a fickle fellow truly cannot be a friend!"

Xiao Yan sighed deeply, pitying Bai Chenxiang's fate and lamenting that Ma Hongjun's sincere devotion had been misplaced.

Over in the Douluo World—

everyone in the Heaven Dou Empire was now dumbfounded.

When they had just seen Tang San defeat the twin gods in the footage,

the entire nation had been cheering in excitement,

as if they had truly won a war!

Later, when Tang San said he was considering the soldiers

and would not let the Heaven Dou Empire attack the Star Luo Empire for ten years,

ninety percent of the audience had thought:

This god is far too kind!

He had already become a god, yet he still cared about mortal affairs,

specifically preventing a war!

But they had not understood

that sometimes unification was what could truly end the chaos of war.

Putting that aside,

Tang San's absurd moves afterward

directly left those who worshipped him completely stunned.

It was one thing for him to ascend to the God Realm without bringing his teacher,

but he was unwilling even to bring his good brother Ma Hongjun's wife!

It had clearly been stated above that family members could be brought along.

Tang San had not even used all of his own slots,

yet even so, he refused to help his brother.

One had to know that she was not merely his sister-in-law,

but also his own cousin!

Forget about having slots available—

even without them, he should have found a way to pull strings!

Do not forget that the Speed Clan had given him a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng!

That had been the crucial medicinal ingredient for saving Xiao Wu!

Without that thing,

who knew how long he would have had to wait before reviving Xiao Wu!
