Just as the eighteen seals were about to shatter, everything around them seemed to come to a standstill.
Golden light instantly enveloped Tang Wulin's Spirit Sea. Wherever the golden light passed, everything returned to calm.
Time Rewind. Absolute Stasis!
It was Tang Wulin's Spirit Domain!
At the same time, a figure appeared within Tang Wulin's Spirit Sea.
He wore blue robes, was strikingly handsome, and held a golden trident in his hand.
He was...
"Dad!" Tang Wulin's emotions surged. When people encountered those closest to them in a moment of crisis, they were often at their most vulnerable.
"Tang San!" The instant the Golden Dragon King saw Tang San, a fierce, baleful aura rose from it. Its vigorous blood essence churned as it prepared to attack Tang San.
Tang San did not look at the Golden Dragon King. Instead, he turned toward his son behind him. "Child, we meet again."
"Dad." Tang Wulin called out once more and quickly came before Tang San.
Tang San looked at Tang Wulin before him and smiled with gratification. "As expected of my son, Tang San's son. You've actually already reached the realm of a First-Level God. Wulin, I've finally seen this day. You're taller and more handsome than your father. You've grown up."
"Though I came a little late, I still want to say this: Dad is proud of you."
At those words, Tang Wulin's eyes could not help reddening. His journey had truly not been easy. Many times, he had wanted to give up.
But from beginning to end, there had been someone encouraging him, guiding him forward.
That person was Old Tang.
And also...
"Dad." Tang Wulin suddenly embraced Tang San before him. Feeling the warmth of Tang San's real body, tears shimmered in his eyes.
Tang San gently patted his son's back, his gaze warm, yet filled with deep guilt.
This was his own son, yet he had never been by his side, not even for a single day.
Though there had been Old Tang, he was not truly Tang San himself.
"Roar!" An angry roar rang out. "You still have the leisure to chatter on, and you dare ignore this king!"
The Golden Dragon King spewed a stream of golden dragon breath toward Tang San and Tang Wulin!
Tang San's gaze instantly turned cold. He raised the Sea God's Trident with one hand, and astonishing divine power rapidly gathered.
Blue-golden radiance illuminated the Spirit Sea!
At the same time, it dissolved the dragon breath.
"Sea God's Light!" The Golden Dragon King said in astonishment, "You're merely a strand of divine sense, yet you can still use Sea God's Light?"
"Golden Dragon King!" Tang San said coldly. "Today will be the day you disappear completely."
"Hahaha." The Golden Dragon King sneered. "You think a mere strand of divine sense can protect your son? Have you ever truly witnessed my real power?"
"If I remember correctly, this is your last chance to act. And I have lain dormant for all these years in preparation for this day!"
"This final seal contains one-tenth of the power I possessed at my peak. Do you think you stand a chance?"
"Golden Dragon King," Tang San said slowly, "I have to admit that you did indeed inherit part of the Dragon God's wisdom. From the very beginning, everything you displayed in the Divine Realm was nothing like someone who had failed to inherit the Dragon God's wisdom."
"You hid yourself deeply."
"Oh?" The Golden Dragon King became interested and was no longer in a hurry to attack. "In your human terms, I would like to hear the details."
Tang San said, "From the very beginning, you sensed the Space-Time Turbulence. You began making plans at that time."
"Later, because the Destruction God disagreed with my beliefs, he came to the forbidden grounds. You deliberately released part of your power to make him seal me!"
"When the Space-Time Turbulence arrived, you still endured."
"Only when Destruction and I had both been severely injured, when Life Goddess and Destruction God sacrificed themselves, and when all the gods were resisting the Space-Time Turbulence, did you truly break the seal!"
"Yet strangely, you did not directly attack and shatter the gods' defenses. Instead, you chose to wage a guerrilla battle against me."
"Until later, when you were slain and the Dragon Core was sent into my son's body."
"The more I thought about that battle, the more something felt wrong."
"If you had truly feared the Space-Time Turbulence, you could have simply waited until the gods had exhausted more than half of its energy before breaking the seal."
"Moreover, given the strength of your physical body, the Space-Time Turbulence could have severely wounded you, but it absolutely could not have killed you. There was no need for you to fear it so greatly."
"You wanted the gods of the Divine Realm to die, yet in the end, you did not do so. Why was that?"
"I could not understand it no matter how much I thought about it. After pondering it for a long time, I vaguely guessed some of the truth."
"And?" The Golden Dragon King made a gesture for him to continue.
Tang San pondered for a moment. "There are two possibilities. First, you also inherited the Dragon God's wisdom, but you hid that wisdom from the very beginning."
"As for the second possibility, there is likely someone behind you, guiding you from the shadows."
"Compared to the second possibility, I would rather it be the first. Because if it is the second, then the scheme laid out by the one behind you is beyond imagination."
Tang San stared intensely at the Golden Dragon King.
"Hehe, hahaha." The Golden Dragon King burst into laughter. "Worthy of Sea God Tang San!"
"However, unfortunately, all your guesses are wrong!"
