Intercepting the Golden Dragon King Origin

"Who has it worse than our Wulin? Born with the Golden Dragon King Origin on his back."

"How is the Golden Dragon King Origin some kind of cheat? It's dead weight!"

"If the Golden Dragon King hadn't caused trouble, our Wulin would have been the crown prince of the Divine Realm."

"Do you even know how valuable the Clear Sky Hammer and Innate Full Soul Power are?!"

Watching these outrageous comments, Han Li felt as though his whole world had gone wrong.

It was supposed to be a perfectly good male-oriented power-fantasy novel...

How had the readers interpreted it like this?

He rubbed his eyes and read through it again, confirming that he had not misread anything.

So...

Did humanity really still have a future?

The thought lingered endlessly in his mind.

In the end, carrying an indescribable feeling in his heart...

Han Li transmigrated.

In the void beyond the Divine Realm.

The Golden Dragon King's colossal body coiled through the void, its golden eyes fixed fiercely upon the five God Kings surrounding it, filled with brutality and unwillingness.

The five God Kings each held one direction, their divine senses locked onto the Golden Dragon King as they prepared to strike at any moment.

And at that very moment...

Within the Divine Realm, Xiao Wu made her move.

In that instant, a ripple of life spread outward.

Tang Wulin was born.

And the Golden Dragon King sensed that life aura. Immediately, it threw back its head and laughed wildly.

"Ha ha ha—Tang San!"

"Even if I die!"

"I'll take your son down with me!"

"Feel pain!"

Before its words had even faded.

Blinding light erupted from the Golden Dragon King's body.

Its entire dragon body transformed into a golden streak of light and shot toward that newly born life aura within the Divine Realm.

"Not good!"

The Goddess of Life, Xiao Lu, cried out in alarm.

The hearts of all the gods sank at once.

The Golden Dragon King had already possessed overwhelmingly powerful strength.

Now that it was burning its origin in a desperate final attack, the speed and power of this strike exceeded all their expectations.

It was already too late to stop it.

At that critical moment.

A radiance descended from an even higher dimension.

The light was pure and vast, as though it came from a higher level beyond the reach of even the gods.

That radiance intercepted the golden streak formed by the Golden Dragon King with absolute precision, forcibly bringing it to a halt.

The golden streak collided with the radiance...

And a silent shockwave spread.

The gods froze where they stood.

Whether it was the five God Kings or the other deities within the Divine Realm, all of them were stunned.

They could clearly sense that this was power from a higher dimension, power beyond the God King level.

Then, a calm and indifferent voice rang out from within that radiance.

"No need to thank me."

"My name never changes, nor does my seat—"

"Li Feiyu."

The moment those words fell.

That radiance plunged into the Douluo Plane.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished.

Beyond the Divine Realm, the five God Kings looked at one another.

Douluo Plane, Sun Moon Federation, Aolai City.

Aolai City was a small coastal city on the eastern shore of the Sun Moon Federation, bordering the sea.

The morning sea breeze swept through the city streets, carrying the ocean's distinctive salty, damp scent.

The faint sound of waves crashing against the shore drifted from afar.

The city was especially lively today.

Because the annual Awakening Day had arrived.

Colorful flags hung along both sides of the streets, and every household had swept its doorstep spotless.

For this small city, Awakening Day was one of the most important days of the year. Families with children of the right age had begun preparing long ago.

At this moment, the street before Red Mountain Academy had already become packed early in the morning.

Parents had come from everywhere with their children to take part in the awakening.

They gathered in small groups, discussing how many children would awaken Soul Power this year and whose child might possess exceptional talent.

The children's laughter and the parents' reminders mingled together, filling the entire street with noise.

Among them, however, was a six-year-old boy who had come alone.

He wore clean, neat clothes, and his figure was rather tall for his age. His features were refined, while his eyes were exceptionally calm, completely out of place amid the lively, clamorous atmosphere around him.

He was Han Li.

Ever since that incident beyond the Divine Realm thousands of years ago, he had fallen into a long period of slumber and fusion.

Now, just as in the original story, the Golden Dragon King Origin had transformed into eighteen seals, layered within his body for him to slowly unlock and absorb.

Each seal he opened would grant him a portion of the Golden Dragon King's power, while also bringing corresponding pain and trials.

Once he had absorbed all eighteen seals, he would directly enter the God King Realm.

Of course, this was definitely dead weight.

Han Li silently thought to himself.

After all...

He shared a name with that great and compassionate Heavenly Venerable Han.

Since they had the same name, they were naturally fated.

How could he stand by and watch an innocent child endure such painful dead weight?

He could bear this sort of thing himself.

Just as he was thinking, a slight commotion in the crowd caught his attention.

A father and son were walking over from the other end of the street.

The father appeared to be in his thirties. He had a gentle face, held his son's hand, and his eyes were filled with expectation and nervousness.

The little boy at his side had a round face and a pair of large, lively eyes. He looked exactly as a six-year-old child should.

The arrival of this father and son also drew Han Li's attention.

He recognized them.

Tang Ziran and Tang Wulin.

Interesting.

Han Li thought to himself.

A hint of amusement flashed through his eyes.

Back in his previous life, those ridiculous fans online had all shouted that if the Golden Dragon King had not interfered, Tang Wulin would have been destined to become the crown prince of the Divine Realm.

As though the Golden Dragon King Origin had been a calamity that ruined Tang Wulin's bright future.

Without that curse, Tang Wulin should have lived a pampered life in the Divine Realm.

In response, Han Li merely said one thing in his heart.

Idiots.

First of all.

Tang San was not doing this for the first time.

As early as the era of The Unrivaled Tang Clan...

Hadn't Tang Wutong descended to the lower realm?

She had even found herself an excuse for descending without permission, claiming that her daughter had been mischievous and secretly run off below.

But since she had descended without permission...

Where was the punishment?

The rules of the Divine Realm were absolute.

Descending without permission was an especially grave crime, yet after that princess of the Divine Realm descended, not only did she receive no punishment, she instead lived splendidly on the Douluo Continent.

So this sort of thing was fine to talk about.

Anyone who believed it would find out soon enough.

What was more, Tang San had gone to great lengths to make Tang Hao the lord of the plane, turn Ah Yin into the core of life, and even draw the Abyss Plane over...

Could all that effort possibly have been because he had nothing better to do?

Would the dignified Sea God, Asura God, and enforcer of the Divine Realm do such utterly meaningless things for no reason?

But if one considered Tang San's divine manifestation at the original story's ending, it was not difficult to infer...

This entire scheme had been Tang San's way of openly pushing his own son forward as the child favored by the destiny of this era.
