Heaven and Earth Valley of Love Questions

"Ten thousand years after becoming a god, that God King split his daughter's divine consciousness into two and cast them into the lower realm, treating his daughter as a tool to be exploited—all to seize the child of destiny of the Douluo plane. What do you think... he would do to you?"

En Zuo's words were like a steel nail driven straight through Tang San's heart. He stared at En Zuo in horror, his lips parting but unable to close for a long while. "You said... wh... what?!"

"My daughter..."

"Was treated by me as an object to be used?"

In his previous life in the Tang Sect, Tang San had never known what family affection felt like. Only after being reborn on the Douluo Continent, where he had biological parents, did he get to experience that priceless bond.

Even though Old Jack and everyone in Holy Soul Village believed Tang Hao to be an unfit, irresponsible father—even Tang San himself had never felt what fatherly love was like while growing up—

His life had been a complete mess.

Yet he had never hated Tang Hao, because Tang Hao had fulfilled the longing for family that he had carried as an orphan in his previous life.

His feelings for Xiao Wu also stemmed from that distorted longing for familial love. He did not understand family affection, nor did he understand love.

But he understood what family meant!

That was precisely why Tang San, who had not yet been tempered by time, found such conduct impossible to accept. He could not accept plotting against his own family.

Tang San murmured under his breath, staring in disbelief at himself from another time and space. That no longer ordinary... handsome yet unfamiliar face sent a stabbing pain through his heart.

Tang San gently touched his own face. His hair was entirely black, and the face reflected within the space was utterly ordinary.

He did not fully believe En Zuo's words. Things he had not witnessed with his own eyes were full of holes.

Tang San turned to En Zuo. Only after a long silence did he slowly say, "I want to go and see..."

"I want to see it with my own eyes."

"If not for your interference, whether I truly became as you described... became..."

Tang San painfully closed his eyes. "Became... the version of myself most unfamiliar to me."

En Zuo's hand, which had been about to open the passage to the Dragon King Era, paused and slowly withdrew. Demon Ding on his shoulder let out an uneasy hiss, its eyes carrying a faintly appraising look as it watched Tang San.

If Tang San were allowed to enter the Dragon King Era like this, and Tang Hao managed to contact him, Tang San—who had yet to develop any hostility toward his counterpart in this time and space—would not be easy to control.

He had to make Tang San wary.

And Tang San's request...

Was exactly what En Zuo wanted.

What... could stir hatred in a person's heart better than pain personally endured?

"Then... Tang San... witness for yourself whether what I said is true. The only thing I can tell you is that reality is far crueler than you imagine."

En Zuo revealed a meaningful smile and spread his arms. The entire Narak Space answered his summons. Countless time streams turned into inconspicuous splashes amid enormous waves, lifting the two of them upward.

This was simply... divine power.

At this moment, he was as powerful as a god among men.

No...

This power was far stronger than that of a god among men! Not even a God King, not even Douluo's creator god, could possess such power.

Brilliant golden light surged and splashed along with the waves. An inconspicuous droplet struck the tip of Tang San's nose, and the scene before him began to blur.

Another world began to emerge.

Time flickered. Viewed from above, it formed a hexagonal projection of light, with countless intricate symbols flowing and shifting within it.

Tang San had not truly entered this world. He could sense a membrane separating him from it, yet if he wished, he could shatter that barrier at any moment.

Holding his staff, En Zuo came to Tang San's side. His choice of this time and space was deeply meaningful.

Because...

This was the Peerless Tang Clan's Heaven and Earth Valley of Love Questions.

Several streaks of golden light flashed before them.

Ning Tian, Wu Feng...

Then came Bei Bei, He Caitou, and Xiao Xiao.

Tang San patiently waited. Though he did not recognize anyone present, he was certain that En Zuo would not casually choose a useless time and space.

He had a feeling.

Perhaps here, he would see another Tang San!

Just then, rather than golden light, a projection suddenly lit up. A strange curtain of light appeared before everyone.

The light curtain gradually became clear, revealing a frozen mountain wasteland.

Two figures sat within that icy wilderness.

Tang San's knuckles turned white, his fingertips seeming ready to pierce through his palms. He tried several times to speak, but his voice remained lodged deep in his throat.

Though he did not recognize the two women within the light curtain, their features and that call of blood connection allowed Tang San to be one hundred percent certain.

They were his daughters.

His and Xiao Wu's daughters!

Although he had not fully accepted that he and Xiao Wu would become husband and wife in the future, nor had he prepared himself to become a father, the two before him were family bound to him by blood—the family he had always longed for but never possessed!

En Zuo wrapped an arm around Tang San's shoulders and added, "Their names underwent some changes in the lower realm. Their aliases are... Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er."

"When the two become one, their true name..."

"Is Tang Wutong."

Tang San's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and an extraordinarily complicated emotion appeared on his face. "My and Xiao Wu's... daughter... Tang Wutong..."

The combined age of Tang San's past and present lives already made him middle-aged, so he could not view things with a child's mentality.

Seeing that his daughter's features resembled Xiao Wu in some ways and himself in others, Tang San's heart softened. She was his future flesh and blood, and that instinctive affection made him accept the child from the future.

En Zuo said nothing. He knew just how complicated the emotions in one's heart were when such an understanding was formed, and therefore how heartbreaking it would be when it was destroyed.

Because... in Heaven and Earth Valley of Love Questions, God King Tang would personally drive his own daughter to her death.

This was not merely pretense, but a death he truly forced upon her. Even though she was revived afterward, it was not a complete resurrection. Wang Dong'er became a corpse slowly approaching annihilation.

A voice came from the light curtain. That grand voice echoed: of the two of them, only one could survive.

Tang San beside En Zuo only found the voice familiar, but he did not dare think too deeply about it.

As time passed, a blue-gold figure appeared, holding a dazzling golden trident.

"The Sea God Trident?!"

Tang San recognized the weapon. The fabricated fantasy in his mind finally shattered. That was his future self... himself in the future...

God King Tang San's voice was calm and unruffled. "Which of you is willing to die for him? I will give you only three seconds."

"What?"

Seeing this, Tang San's body swayed. Overcome with fury, terrifying bloodshot veins filled his eyes, and he could not help roaring, "That is your daughter!"

He struggled desperately and broke free from En Zuo's restraint. He had to see for himself that all of this was false.

"I don't believe I would become like this. My future self should not be like this!"
