The final illusion placed him at Shrek Academy, where a narration exposed Chen Hong’s power and hinted at opportunities Tang San had lost.

• Tang San’s divine sense awakened as he climbed the steps, and he rejected an illusion of his past at the Tang Sect.

• The narration told Tang San that the immortal herbs, the Former Supreme’s bones, and the Demon Whale’s corpse had been opportunities meant for him.

• Dai Mubai waited anxiously for Tang San to address him, and Tang San began by saying, “Mubai...”

Sea God Tang San became a god and set out for Douluo Continent with Dai Mubai, intent on reaching the City of Slaughter for the Asura God Inheritance. The Federation issued evacuation warnings as Snow Empress and Qian Renxue learned of his approach, while Qian Daoliu awaited what was coming.

• Sea God Tang San urged Dai Mubai to reclaim his honor, country, and lover, then led him and the Sea God Island Titled Douluo toward Douluo Continent.

• Tang San mocked the idea that he had once possessed great talent and expectations, then angrily questioned why he had been left behind on Sea God Island.

• Ye Lingling took the Sea God Trident through her heart and slapped Sea God Tang San, then revealed that she still wanted to stop him despite her cold exterior.

• Sea God Tang San's mental attacks had no effect, and he accused Chen Hong of helping Ye Lingling as he realized abandoning his body would leave him a soul-body lifeform.
