Tang San's Secret Scheme, Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion!

The Heavenly Voice exploded in the minds of All Living Beings like a thunderclap,

and the entire continent fell into dead silence once more.

Immediately afterward,

discussion of the divine maiden erupted like a tsunami, sweeping across heaven and earth:

"What?! Why does Her Highness the divine maiden only have three soul rings?!"

"The divine maiden's talent cannot compare to Ziyao's or Lan Tianhua's at all! How can she rank sixth? Could there be some shady dealings involved?"

"A low cultivation level is nothing, but I don't understand why the Sea God stripped away his own daughter's divine consciousness. Wouldn't simply sealing her memories have been enough?"

"Just what is the Sea God doing??"

"..."

All Living Beings discussed fervently,

with voices of shock, confusion, and every other emotion echoing across the continent.

Shrek Academy,

inside a lounge by Sea God Lake.

Everyone present turned their eyes toward Wang Dong in unison, their gazes filled with alarm and disbelief.

One of Her Highness the divine maiden's Twin Martial Souls, the Light Goddess Butterfly, had indeed appeared at Shrek Academy.

It belonged to Wang Dong, one of the Shrek Seven Devils' reserve members!

She was also the only one whose hair shared the Daughter of the Sea God's pinkish-blue color!

"Wang Dong... you... you... are Tang Wutong?"

"You're the Daughter of the Sea God?"

Huo Yuhao stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before him, his breathing growing rapid.

His mind was a complete mess.

The companion who had fought side by side with him,

and the Wang Dong who had shared his dormitory for over a year, was actually Tang Wutong, the Daughter of the Sea God?

Ma Xiaotao, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others all widened their eyes, staring at Wang Dong in utter disbelief.

"I..."

Wang Dong looked around, her mind equally blank.

"I don't know... I really did come from the Clear Sky Sect, but I have no memories related to my father."

She murmured softly, her voice carrying a trace of confusion.

As she spoke,

she looked at Huo Yuhao, her eyes gaining a touch of urgency.

"Yuhao, I didn't mean to hide it from you..."

"I truly don't know. I don't know why I would do something like this..."

Huo Yuhao looked at her in shock, a complicated and indescribable emotion rising within him.

However,

no one present replied.

They all recalled what the Sky Screen had said: her memories had been sealed away by the Sea God, and even her divine consciousness had been stripped from her.

And the Sky Screen would have to provide the answer to all of this.

Douluo God Realm, Star Gazing Platform.

The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction were likewise stunned upon seeing the words on the Sky Screen.

"Stripped divine consciousness?"

The Goddess of Life frowned tightly. A trace of confusion flashed through her beautiful eyes as she looked at Tang San.

"Sea God, why did you strip away Wutong's divine consciousness?"

"Do you not know that leaving one's divine consciousness outside the body for too long can damage the main body?"

The God of Destruction stood with his hands behind his back, watching Tang San coldly.

He was not as sentimental as the Goddess of Life. His words were full of suspicion and frost.

"Tang San, as a God Realm Enforcer, you secretly interfered with the Douluo Plane and caused so many variables, yet you insist it was for your daughter's sake. This had nothing to do with Wutong from the start!"

"And now you personally stripped away her divine consciousness. What exactly are you trying to do?"

Tang San's body trembled slightly, and cold sweat had already soaked his back.

He had never imagined that the Sky Screen would expose even this matter!?

Did this Sky Screen have a grudge against me?

"You two are unaware..."

Tang San pondered for a moment.

Then he sighed softly, doing his best to make his voice sound calm.

"I did this so Wutong could undergo a better trial."

"Stripping away her divine consciousness is only temporary. Once my daughter completes her trial, that separated divine consciousness will naturally return to her main body."

"Is that so?"

The God of Destruction sneered and turned his gaze back to the Sky Screen.

"Then let us take a good look at what comes next on this Sky Screen!"

At the same time,

Star Dragon Sanctuary, atop the Star Dragon Tower.

Nan Feng sat upon his throne, watching with great interest as Tang San was reprimanded by the God of Destruction in the Space-Time Mirror.

Tang San was reprimanded by the God of Destruction.

"If not for this Sky Screen, I fear the gods of the Douluo God Realm and All Living Beings would have remained utterly deceived by you."

"Let the world take a good look at just how vile the true face of you, God King Tang, really is!"

As his words fell,

Nan Feng flicked his finger, and the Space-Time Mirror flew back into Libra Star Dragon's hand.

Afterward, Nan Feng turned his gaze back to the Sky Screen, anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Under the gaze of countless living beings,

the scene upon the golden scroll continued to change, clearly preparing to further recount Tang Wutong's past.

With a shift of the image,

it settled upon a boundless starry sky.

Two figures stood upon a viewing platform in the center of that Star Sea.

The man wore blue robes, his long blue hair falling to his waist. His eyes were as deep as the sea, and divine majesty pulsed around him.

Beside him stood a delicate, peerlessly beautiful woman.

She wore a pink dress that fluttered in the wind. Her scorpion braid hung smoothly behind her, while her eyes were gentle and lively.

Many living beings recognized these two faces. They had seen them on the statues at Shrek Academy.

They were none other than the Sea God Tang San and the Asura Scabbard, Xiao Wu!

Within the scene,

Xiao Wu nestled against Tang San's chest and asked softly,

"Third Brother, is this really all right? Are you truly going to strip away Xiao Qi's divine soul?"

Her voice was quiet, carrying a trace of concern.

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu in his arms and smiled faintly.

"Don't worry. Xiao Qi is our child. How could I possibly harm her?"

"I am doing this because this continent holds an opportunity that belongs to our daughter."

"Oh?"

Xiao Wu abruptly raised her head and asked in confusion, "There is an opportunity on the continent that belongs to Xiao Qi? What is it?"

A smile curled across Tang San's lips.

With a wave of his hand, a circular light screen appeared before him and Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Qi's opportunity is it..."

All Living Beings looked over.

The Sky Screen seemed to possess a will of its own.

It clearly displayed the image Tang San had summoned for All Living Beings to see.

The image showed a Soul Beast deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Soul Beast resembled a male lion. Its entire body was covered in crystal-like, brilliant golden fur, with several golden scales upon it.

It was noble and enchanting,

with a faint golden radiance lingering around its body and emanating a peculiar energy fluctuation.

"That is... the Emperor Auspicious Beast!"

In an instant,

many experts recognized the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

The Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion was an auspicious omen for the Soul Beast race!

With the Emperor Auspicious Beast present,

the chances of ferocious beasts successfully passing their tribulations would increase dramatically, and the Star Dou Great Forest would enjoy unending good fortune.

Could it be that the Sea God intended to attach his daughter's divine consciousness to the Emperor Auspicious Beast?

Amid the puzzled gazes of All Living Beings,

Tang San nodded in satisfaction. Greed appeared in his eyes as he looked at the Auspicious Beast.

"I will place a strand of my daughter's divine consciousness into the body of the Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, allowing my daughter to acquire the rare Dragon God Bloodline and Power of Destiny."

"I will secretly guide the Auspicious Beast into sacrifice. Once the divine consciousness returns, Tang Wutong's Martial Soul will evolve, and her strength will soar!"

"For this Auspicious Beast to assist my daughter's cultivation is a blessing it earned in a previous life. Otherwise, the Power of Destiny would simply benefit those Soul Beasts for nothing!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. She hurriedly nodded. "We'll do as Third Brother says! Only Wutong deserves to obtain this Power of Destiny!"

All Living Beings: "???"
