"Secretly pleased?" The Butterfly God Tang Wutong's perspective was far too naive. It wasn't that it was bad; God of Kindness people often receive more kindness in return. But the God of Emotion, Dai Yuhao, wasn't so God of Kindness, nor could he be so naive. Although he hadn't neglected his wife, he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, voicing his concerns. His words, like a sudden blast of ice, Ice Seal the smile on Tang Wutong's face, "Wu Tong, have you ever thought... if Dong'er and Qiu'er hadn't died, if we had changed our Destiny, would you still exist?"

It's because Wang Dong'er is dead!

Because Wang Qiu'er also died!

That's why Tang Wutong appeared!

Only then will you possess two sets of memories in addition to your original memories!

on the contrary.

If Wang Dong'er hadn't died.

If Wang Qiu'er hadn't died.

Will Tang Wutong really still exist?

"I... I... I don't know..." After a long silence, Tang Wutong finally stammered, her tone filled with despair, and she instantly understood her husband's inner struggle and pain. "And you, what do you think? Do you want to change this history?"

Dai Yuhao raised his head.

He met Tang Wutong's gaze.

Tang Wutong did not back down.

Instead, they maintained eye contact until Dai Yuhao deliberately looked away.

silence.

Another long silence followed.

Tang Wutong spoke again, knowing that Dai Yuhao couldn't give her an answer; ultimately, it was up to her to provide it. "Go do what you want to do. This time, I'll wait for you..."

Regarding Tang Wutong's statement.

Dai Yuhao was quite surprised.

He considered many options.

For example, Tang Wutong refused.

For example, Tang Wutong agreed.

But I never expected that Tang Wutong would give up the initiative.

They even handed the initiative over to him.

For this reason, Dai Yuhao subconsciously withdrew his gaze from its previous direction and focused it back on his wife standing at the temple entrance. Even without speaking, the slight confusion in his eyes silently expressed what he most wanted to say at that moment.

Why?

"Yes, why?"

"I am clearly a selfish person."

"If you're not even willing to share it, then my life is even less likely to be at stake."

Why would I entrust everything to you?

Tang Wutong sighed softly and instantly traversed dozens of meters to appear in front of Dai Yuhao. The afterimage left at the temple entrance transformed into countless butterfly-shaped divine powers, which disappeared into the air amidst pink light and were swallowed up by the surrounding layers of space.

Then, filled with sadness, he raised his hand.

He touched Dai Yuhao's cheek.

Looking at Dai Yuhao's no longer bright black eyes.

Even though deep black looks good.

But she still preferred gemstones, those sparkly things. "Yuhao, I am Wu Tong, Tang Wutong... but I am also Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er. I possess almost all of their memories, including their emotions... so, I have to admit, I am a twisted monster, a completely new individual who possesses their memories but is not them... Actually, I've been thinking about a question for a long time, but I didn't have the chance or the courage to say it before. Now I've mustered up the courage to say it... perhaps what I'm doing is wrong, but I'd rather be wrong than do nothing: what exactly determines whether a person exists or not?"

"Wu Tong..."

Dai Yuhao spoke, trying to interrupt Tang Wutong.

Some things, once said, are simply said.

But some things, once said, really broke the ice.

But the moment he opened his mouth, Tang Wutong pressed her index finger to his lips, accompanied by Tang Wutong earnest words. "I don't want to regret it, so please give me this chance... at least don't let me fail before I even begin!"

Dai Yuhao fell silent.

Seeing this, Tang Wutong did not press her advantage further.

Instead, they continued with the previous topic.

He then revealed the answer he had kept hidden in his heart for a long, long time, unsure of its right or wrong. "What determines a person's existence is not their body or soul, nor the traces they leave in this world... Under the erosion of time, the body will eventually turn to dust, assimilated by heaven and earth. Even the hardest bones cannot withstand this erosion. The soul, which can also be called memory, can be altered. On a small scale, someone under an illusion might believe the illusion to be real. On a large scale, someone like me, whose soul has been reconstructed, may seem perfect, but in reality, everything can be altered, and traces are impossible to leave. Ten thousand years from now, on the Douluo Continent, no one will remember Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er. All living beings will only remember you Yuhao, and me Tang Wutong... Therefore, my answer is: nothing can determine a person's existence. When you are struggling with this question, you have already questioned and denied yourself!"

"That's not entirely true."

"Your thinking is too extreme."

"Although the physical body really can't withstand the ravages of time."

"But as long as I still remember Dong'er."

"As long as I still remember Qiu'er."

"They are not considered dead."

"You have simply returned to your original form, like a puzzle piece. I found one piece and thought I had seen the whole picture, but when I found another piece, I thought I had seen the whole picture as well. Only when these two pieces are put together can I see the true whole picture of the puzzle."

People always need to be open to new things.

"The sky is like a dome, covering the vast wilderness."

"Who isn't a frog in a well?"

"Even if, as you say, nothing can determine whether a person exists... then why are you still dwelling on this?"

"Why not look ahead?"

Dai Yuhao did not agree with Tang Wutong's point of view.

But a direct denial would undoubtedly make Tang Wutong more extreme.

Because Tang Wutong's original intention was to talk to him.

Therefore, deny it using the same method.

This is the simplest and most effective method.

However, Tang Wutong's words shattered Dai Yuhao's defenses. "I have indeed thought about looking forward. To use a common saying, there's no hurdle that can't be overcome... But I just suddenly thought of a perfect answer, even though it sounds absurd: We exist by relying on our hearts!"

Tang Wutong did not notice Huo Yuhao's dazed state.

Of course.

Even if she noticed.

She will only intensify her efforts.

Just like right now, continue to express your own views.

"If I believe I am Tang Wutong, then I am Tang Wutong!"

"If I believe I am Wang Dong'er, then I am Wang Dong'er!"

"If I believe I am Wang Qiu'er, then I am Wang Qiu'er!"

"Memory can never determine anything!"

"It's not that I think it's possible!"

"Therefore, I do not deny the fact that Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er, and even Ju Zi existed, nor do I deny the fact that they loved you, nor do I deny the fact that they died... That is why I am now communicating with you from the perspective of your wife Tang Wutong: I do not want you to suppress your heart because of me, and I do not want to see you unable to let go of past regrets... Life is a painful journey, and you always need something to support you to keep going. These things have no limits; they can be love or hate, but they cannot be responsibility, because responsibility is the most fragile thing!"

Go change everything you want to change!

"I've entrusted you with all my love and trust, and I completely respect your choice."

Even if it's a reversal of history!

"Even if it means going against the gods!"

"Even betrayed me..."

Tang Wutong hugged Dai Yuhao tightly, pressing her face against Dai Yuhao chest, listening to the strong beating of her husband's heart, and whispered, "At least in this moment, I don't regret it, and that's enough... This is a love independent of Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er, a love that belongs to Tang Wutong. They could give their lives for you, and so can I. But I hope you remember that I am a completely new individual. Even though I have the memories of Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er, in my heart, I identify as Tang Wutong... And Tang Wutong... can understand you!"

Dai Yuhao lowered his head.

He rested his chin on the top of Tang Wutong's head.

He slowly raised his hand.

He embraced Tang Wutong's back and waist.

A moment of silence.

She suddenly laughed, "The past cannot be undone, but the future can be changed. Thank you, Wu Tong... But this is too painful for you, because if I want to change history, it means I must become an enemy of your father. At least in his plan, Dong'er and Qiu'er are destined to die, and you, with your complete soul, are his daughter... Therefore, if you decide to support me, you will be caught in the middle, unable to move forward or backward, and I don't want you to be in a dilemma... So, there are actually only two paths left for me..."

"I've already said that."

"Just now."

Tang Wutong inherited Xiao Wu's fine traditions.

This is commonly known as Love Brain.

But then again...

Love Brain is never a flaw.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

It's just that most people haven't found the instructions for using the Love Brain" feature.

Dealing with Love Brain.

If rational methods are used, then disagreement will inevitably result.

But if we use emotional methods...

Just like Dai Yuhao right now.

Although he was unaware of this.

But the love he gave Tang Wutong, the sense of security he provided, quickly won her Tang Wutong, leading Tang Wutong to make a seemingly extreme decision, one she didn't regret. "I am your wife, you are my husband... A woman follows her husband wherever he goes, I trust my judgment and your choice... Even if it clashes with my father, I will put you first. If you truly feel guilty, then perhaps I can give you a reason: because I believe I am an individual, Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er don't have to be me... If that's the case, then Tang San, who orchestrated and manipulated the deaths of Wang Dong'er Wang Dong'er Wang Qiu'er Wang Qiu'er, is the culprit... You have the right to attack him, and you deserve revenge!"

Honestly.

This is the kind of thing Love Brain would say.

Of course.

It's a choice only Love Brain could make.

Not everyone can achieve the harmony of fathers parting and sons laughing, but then again, from this perspective, what Tang Wutong said is indeed not wrong.

"Wang Dong'er".

"Wang Qiu'er".

"Xiao Qi".

"With me, Tang Wutong."

"It can always be considered as four people!"

"Perhaps I am a shackle, a shackle whose purpose was to bind you the moment it was created, but it overlooks one thing: even a shackle has its own heart!"

Even if he is the Creator to me.

"But my existence does not entirely depend on him."

"It's like an alloy... This alloy of mine was forged from the steel of Wang Dong'er, the bronze of Wang Qiu'er, and the meteorite of Xiao Qi. Therefore, I, who bear everything of the three of them, also bear Wang Dong'er's love for you, Wang Qiu'er's affection for you, and... Xiao Qi's deepest hatred for her father, Tang San!"

"So, if you want to be Tang San's enemy."

I will help you.

"Because you've made a lot of concessions for me."

"He's also the only person who cares about me."

Tang Wutong encouraged Dai Yuhao in a soft voice.

It is undeniable.

When a man encounters setbacks.

A woman's gentleness is the best remedy.

No matter how tired you are, how much injustice you suffer outside, or how many people misunderstand you, as long as you can hear someone you like say it to you, you have already done a great job, and the fatigue and helplessness will immediately subside.

Because it's on a spiritual level.

For men who are encouraged.

He knew that everything he had done was worthwhile.

"I think I understand..." Dai Yuhao let out a long breath, ruffling Tang Wutong's ahoge (cowlick), and slowly lowered his hand. His deep eyes regained their brilliance, and his demeanor changed. Although this precious sword had been hidden away for many years, its blade was somewhat rusty and no longer possessed its former vigor. But one must know that an embroidered sword can still kill, and even possesses a stronger deterrent effect than a precious sword. Even if it cannot eliminate the enemy immediately, it can cause the enemy to die from infection of the wound. Although it has not reached the realm of returning to simplicity, it has already reached a certain level of simplicity. "I will give those who should have received an explanation from me an explanation, or rather, an answer. But I have no hobby of placing precious things under the enemy's nose... Dong'er is dead, Qiu'er is dead, Ju Zi is dead... You are my only remaining treasure now, and I shouldn't take this risk..."

"Then... I'll leave everything to you?"

Tang Wutong released her hand.

She then used Dai Yuhao's clothes to wipe away her tears.

I looked left and right, but there was no one there.

Immediately, she secretly tiptoed.

He secretly bit Huo Yuhao's lip like a thief.

Then, he slipped away.

We returned to the entrance of the Emotion God Temple.

Seeing the half-lip print on Huo Yuhao's lips, she waved her hand with a slightly flushed face.

After all, one day in the Divine Realm is equivalent to one year in the human realm.

Three hundred and sixty-five times the time flow rate.

The few minutes she and Dai Yuhao spent pouring their hearts out and being intimate were equivalent to two to three days in the human world. If Dai Yuhao really decided to change history, then even a second of that time would be precious and should not be wasted here.

"A lucky kiss!"

Tang Wutong winked playfully.

Before he could finish speaking...

The figure had already drifted into the hall.

However, Dai Yuhao truly received this encouragement.

"No matter how history unfolds."

"No matter what choice the other me makes."

"I promise I will never let this tragedy happen again!"

Dai Yuhao silently wiped the corner of his mouth, staring at the red mark on the back of his hand, whispering to himself, letting this determination spread through his heart.

Of course.

You have to eat one bite at a time.

One must take things one step at a time.

"Let me add fuel to the fire!"

"Father-in-law... it's fine if you don't want to get involved, I'll get you involved!"

"A mere divine position held by a God of Emotion!"

"Even if I don't want it!"

"I'd risk everything to pull you off your horse!"

"What can we do?"

"Isn't it worth it?"
