The Difference Is Too Great

The Far North.

Ice Empress, unusually, didn't complain; instead, they frowned, looking thoughtful.

"His Divine Sense is divided into three parts... This Tang San is too ruthless! He can even bring himself to harm his own daughter?"

She clicked her tongue, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Although she knew that Tang San had many plans and manipulations for his daughter, since Lin Ye had written about it in his diary before, it wasn't in such detail.

The soul was split into three parts; that's too cruel.

If it were her, she wouldn't even dare to touch her offspring, let alone split them into three parts to test others.

Tang San went so far as to dismantle his own daughter's soul just to control Huo Yuhao?

"That's what it means to be in a position of power."

Snow Empress spoke softly, her snow-white eyelashes drooping, making it impossible to discern the emotions in her eyes.

"For them, feelings are the most useless thing; they're willing to sacrifice anything to achieve their goals."

What are daughters, wives, and friends? They can all be sacrificed if the game demands it.

Her voice was calm, as if she were talking about something perfectly ordinary.

But Ice Empress detected a subtle chill in the air.

Too.

Both she and the Snow Empress were rulers of the Far North, having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, free and unrestrained.

And what was the result? In the end, she was still schemed against and became Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit, unable to even control her own destiny.

Ice Empress would never believe that Tang San wasn't involved in this.

After all, how could Huo Yuhao, a mere human, repeatedly encounter Soul Beast that were hundreds of thousands of years old?

How does he manage to escape danger every time, and why do they willingly follow him?

coincide?

Once or twice could be a coincidence, but if it happens every time, then someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes.

"So, it seems that the two of us..."

As Ice Empress spoke, his expression changed.

Could they also be "equipment" that Tang San arranged for Huo Yuhao?

Snow Empress did not answer, but slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the distant horizon.

In his icy blue eyes surged the chill that had remained unchanged for millennia in the Far North.

Whether it is or not, it doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is, they know now.

She realized that her encounter with Huo Yuhao was not accidental, and that her fate had been orchestrated from the very beginning.

They learned that the high and mighty Sea God, separated by countless planes, treated them all as pawns on a chessboard.

That's enough.

"Let's keep watching."

The Snow Empress spoke softly, her voice still cold, but beneath that coldness lay a sharpness that the Ice Empress had never seen before.

"I want to see how much more he's hiding."

Star Dou Forest, at the bottom of the Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes.

There was no surprise, no anger, only understanding in his eyes.

Just as she had expected.

Tang San is someone who never does anything meaningless.

Tang Wutong descends to the mortal realm, Huo Yuhao rises to power, the Spirit Pagoda is established, and the Soul Beast decline.

None of this is an isolated event.

They are a game of chess.

Tang San played a grand game that would take ten thousand years to complete.

The First-Generation Seven Monsters ascended to heaven, Tang San became a god, and then what?

Then he became the enforcer of the Divine Realm, a god high above all others.

But his roots are in the Douluo Continent, his foundation is in Shrek, and in the Tang Sect.

He needs the Douluo Continent to remain stable, Shrek to remain glorious, and human Soul Master to continue following the path he has set.

How can this be guaranteed?

Relying on tradition? Relying on rules?

That's not enough.

The most reliable method is to have a chess piece planted by him in each generation.

Ten thousand years ago, it was Tang San himself.

Over these ten thousand years, he has planted countless hidden agents.

By the time it came to Huo Yuhao's generation, Huo Yuhao was the biggest pawn in the open.

Tang Wutong is the rope that holds this chess piece in place.

The Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Soul Beast the weapons equipped for this chess piece.

The entire continent, everyone, and everything, serves his grand strategy.

Including Soul Beast.

Including her, Gu Yuena.

She had never understood why Huo Yuhao would build the Spirit Pagoda.

Why would a human suddenly think of resolving the conflict between Soul Beast and Soul Master? And why him of all people?

Now she understands.

It wasn't Huo Yuhao who came up with it; it was Tang San who made him think of it.

On the surface, the establishment of the Spirit Pagoda seemed to ease the conflict between Soul Beast and Soul Master, providing Soul Beast with another way out. But what was the reality?

Soul Beast lost their freedom and became resources chosen, contracted, and used by humans.

Soul Master no longer need to hunt Soul Beast, but the Soul Beast have also completely lost their ability to resist.

In the past, Soul Beast could fight against Soul Master and protect themselves by relying on territories such as the Star Dou Forest and the Far North.

What happened after the Spirit Pagoda? The number of Soul Beast decreased, they became more and more dependent on humans, and they grew weaker and weaker. In the end, they could only become complete vassals.

This is hardly a way to resolve conflicts.

This completely pacified and tamed the Soul Beast race, turning them into an integral part of the human system, so that they could no longer cause any trouble.

As the Soul Beast Lord and the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena should have been the greatest threat.

But she fell into a deep sleep.

After sleeping for so many years, by the time she woke up, everything was already set in stone.

With the Spirit Pagoda built, the Soul Beast have declined to their lowest point, and human power is growing stronger. Even if she wanted to turn the tide, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Is this really just a coincidence?

The timing of her slumber, the timing of her awakening, the timing of Huo Yuhao's rise, and the timing of the establishment of the Spirit Pagoda.

The timing was perfect, just enough to leave her no time to do anything, just enough to make it all irreversible.

If this was also part of Tang San's plan...

Gu Yuena closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

That person is terrifying.

His plan spanned ten thousand years, every step meticulously calculated. Everyone was on his chessboard, even she, the Silver Dragon King, was merely a pawn to be suppressed.

"Tang San..."

Gu Yuena murmured the name, and for the first time, a true fighting spirit ignited in her purple eyes.

Originally, her opponents were only humans, and only the entire Soul Master system.

It now seems that she has only ever had one true rival.

That man who hid in the Divine Realm, across countless planes, and controlled everything.

That's fine.

Gu Yuena slowly stood up, her long, silvery-white hair spreading out behind her like a flowing galaxy.

Now that the opponent is him, this game is going to be much more interesting.

She wanted to see whether Tang San's strategy was superior, or whether she, the Silver Dragon King who had been suppressed for ten thousand years, could personally overturn this game.

Let's talk about the essential differences between the First-Generation Seven Monsters and Huo Yuhao's generation.

Many people think that Huo Yuhao's generation is also very powerful. They have Ultimate Douluo, Spirit Pagoda, and they have also ascended to immortality. So why say they are inferior to the first generation?

Because the First-Generation Seven Monsters were the founders, Huo Yuhao's generation were the inheritors, but not even qualified inheritors.
