Wang Dong's Transformation

After the holidays ended, it was time for the freshmen to undergo their advancement assessments.

Wang Dong arrived at the dormitory early. Looking at the empty room, she felt a sense of dejection.

She had clearly made plans with Huo Yuhao to grab a meal together when they had time, and she had wanted to offer him a sincere apology.

Yet, ever since that day they made the agreement, she had not caught a glimpse of Huo Yuhao.

She had gone to Huo Yuhao's soul tool laboratory, only to find that it had been cleared out and turned into an empty lot.

In truth, one could not say that Wang Dong cared for Huo Yuhao all that much; it was merely the admiration one might feel for a legendary soul master.

Huo Yuhao's excellence was the first time Wang Dong had felt a sense of frustration at being unable to keep pace with someone.

At the same time, his unconventional way of thinking always left her filled with curiosity about him.

If the two had never crossed paths to begin with, Wang Dong's pride would have naturally prevented her from feeling such anxiety over his absence.

But since they could have been friends, only to miss the opportunity due to her own mistakes, Wang Dong's heart was filled with regret.

Huo Yuhao had never packed up the things he left in the dormitory. Wang Dong felt certain he would return at some point, assuming he had simply been delayed by other matters.

Now, seeing the blankets covered in dust, Wang Dong knew that it was highly unlikely Huo Yuhao would ever return to this room.

Adjusting her mood, Wang Dong stared blankly at her own hands. Recently, her martial soul had grown stronger, and her spiritual power had become increasingly formidable as a result.

However, some hazy memories were gradually beginning to surface in her mind, which filled her with a sense of trepidation.

In the God Realm, Tang San was currently caught in a dilemma. He had been trying to foster the relationship between Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, but unfortunately, his efforts had yielded little result.

Huo Yuhao stayed in his soul tool laboratory every day and almost never went out, leaving Tang San with no opportunity to facilitate a meeting between the two.

Now that Huo Yuhao's spiritual power had reached the Divine Origin Realm, many of the Tang God King's plans had fallen through.

Tang San no longer had any intention of testing Huo Yuhao. If he did not act to win him over now, then once Huo Yuhao relied on his own strength to become a god in a few years, there would truly be no chance left.

Tang San looked at the Asura God divine position held by Xiao Wu, finding it difficult to part with, so he found an excuse for himself.

"In a few days' time, the God Realm may face a great crisis. How can I lose the Asura God divine position now and cause turmoil in the God Realm?"

On the other hand, he was reluctant to part with his own Sea God divine position, which was about to reach the God King level.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and sighed.

"I can only make Xiao Qi suffer a little. Although the premature fusion of two sets of memories will cause damage to her Spirit Sea, as my daughter, Xiao Qi must make this sacrifice for the sake of the God Realm."

As Tang San's words fell, a deep blue trident mark emerged on Wang Dong's forehead. Wang Dong instantly felt as if a giant hammer had struck her mind.

Many childhood memories pierced into her Spirit Sea like blades, and Wang Dong let out a cry of agony.

Hearing Wang Dong's scream, Mu En, who was sunbathing downstairs, sensed it instantly.

With a slight ripple in space, Mu En appeared before Wang Dong, only to be blocked by a blue light.

Upon seeing that the source of the light was the trident pattern on Wang Dong's forehead, Mu En sighed slightly and chose to leave.

"The Golden Ancient Tree is acting up, and Wang Dong possesses divine consciousness. Sea God, what exactly are you plotting? Is this for Huo Yuhao's sake, or something else?"

Mu En could not fathom the chaos behind this, but he silently added more considerations to his mind. Since this Sea God had personally intervened, it was likely not as simple as merely passing down a divine position.

Inside the dormitory, Wang Dong lay on the bed clutching her head, her pain splitting.

Wang Dong's own spiritual power was only at the average Spirit Sea Realm. Forcibly merging it with spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm was no different from courting death.

However, under the promotion of Tang San's God King-level consciousness, the fusion itself did not encounter any issues.

Yet, this pain was no less than what Huo Yuhao had endured when fusing with the Ice Empress's torso bone; it was even doubled, like the agony of having one's skull removed and replaced.

Wang Dong's screams lasted for three full days. After the fusion, Wang Dong curled up in her blankets, tears falling silently.

Her appearance had become even more stunning and moving, yet her eyes lacked a certain spark of vitality.

Wang Dong desperately called out for Tang San, hoping her father would take her back to the God Realm, but she received no response.

Now, Wang Dong was listless, staring blankly at the ceiling as she gradually drifted into a dream.

Tang San looked at his daughter's distressed expression and felt a moment of heartache.

But thinking of his status in the God Realm, he hardened his heart and sealed away those painful memories for Wang Dong.

"Yuhao, there is a fluctuation of divine consciousness within Shrek Academy."

Electrolux's voice echoed within Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea.

Sky Dream lazily replied, "Isn't Yuhao's own consciousness at the divine level now? Maybe that old man broke through; what's there to be so surprised about?"

"Big bug, what do you know? That consciousness is of a very high level. If it weren't for the power of fate on Yuhao's body bolstering his consciousness, I would have barely noticed it myself."

Hearing Electrolux's retort, the Ice Empress swiped her tail at Sky Dream Iceworm again. "Don't interfere with Yuhao's judgment. Stop spouting nonsense."

Huo Yuhao wore a thoughtful expression upon hearing this. At this point in time, the only one who could possess such divine consciousness was Tang San.

But why would Tang San use his divine consciousness? Surely he wasn't trying to merge Tang Wutong? What benefit would there be at this time?

Huo Yuhao could not figure it out, so he decided to go to the Sea God Pavilion to ask Mu En if he knew anything.

Having not left his laboratory since returning from Fan Yu's, Huo Yuhao headed toward the Sea God Pavilion.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Huo Yuhao connected his consciousness with Mu En's and asked:

"Elder Mu, has something happened at the freshman dormitory?"

Mu En relayed everything he had seen and heard to Huo Yuhao through their mental link.

At the same time, he passed on the news that the Golden Ancient Tree had been frequently acting up recently.

Hearing about the Golden Ancient Tree's agitation, Huo Yuhao instantly realized what this meant. This was a sign that the Abyss was about to be drawn to the Douluo plane by Tang San.

The disturbance of the Golden Ancient Tree was the beginning of Tang Hao and A Yin preparing to replace the will of Douluo Planet.

Then the development of the Four-Character Battle Armor must be put on the agenda. I need at least God King-level combat power to completely swallow the Abyssal plane, Huo Yuhao thought.

Tang San was worried that his God King-level fluctuations would scare off the Abyssal plane.

But for Huo Yuhao, who excelled in spiritual power, he was fully confident in his ability to fight above his rank.

Having made up his mind, Huo Yuhao bid farewell to Mu En and returned to his laboratory to continue researching the battle armor.

At least a full set of Four-Character Battle Armor would be needed to have an effect in God-level combat; the pace of development had to be accelerated.

On the other side, Wang Dong had just awakened. Having recovered her childhood memories, she remained silent.

Although her strength had increased significantly once more, she felt as if she were living in a dream.
