I Am Not a God King
Tang Wulin's heart skipped a beat, but fortunately he was mentally prepared. He turned around and said directly, "Teacher Xiong Jun taught me a method for using Divine Power. When I used it, I entered this place."
"Xiong Jun... Teacher?"
Tang San's Divine Sense froze for a moment, his thoughts were disrupted, and finally his mind settled on the two words "Xiong Jun".
Xiong Jun, that looks like Star Dou Ferocious Beast, doesn't it?
Tang Wulin nodded. "Teacher Xiong Jun recognized my forging talent, took me as his disciple, and even gave me Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. He's very powerful; he slapped the Super Douluo of Shrek away with a single blow..."
As he spoke, Tang Wulin's expression gradually became excited, and he temporarily put aside the complex emotions in his heart, rambling on about his recent stories.
"..." Tang San's Divine Sense saw Tang Wulin's excited expression and the way his eyes were shining, and then everything went black.
How could he, the son of the Sea God, have become the disciple of a Ferocious Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest?
Wulin, how many more surprises are you going to give me?
Tang San's Divine Sense heavy-hearted, but he could only suppress the surging emotions in his heart and continue listening.
He knew perfectly well that Xiong Jun's actions were definitely related to Huo Yuhao and the Silver Dragon King —these people were truly unscrupulous in their pursuit of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, their hearts were despicable, and they deserved to die!
Now that a powerhouse at the Limit Douluo level is by Wulin's side, he must be even more cautious in his actions and cannot casually probe the outside world, otherwise he might be discovered.
Fortunately, the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark; the enemy is unaware of his existence...
Seeing Tang San's Divine Sense, Tang Wulin suddenly asked, "Old Tang, do you think Shrek Academy is doing the right thing?"
"It really is worth taking..."
Tang San was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized what he was saying and coughed lightly.
"No, that's reckless, distorting the truth, disregarding the wishes of others, and violating basic human decency."
Tang Wulin looked at him, his voice low, "I heard their school motto is: those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's Divine Sense froze.
Come to think of it, I hadn't thought about it in detail before, but now that I think about it, Shrek's approach seems similar to how their generation dealt with a certain academy.
However, they didn't run into a brick wall back then, but Shrek Academy has run into one now.
This reminded him of what Tang Wulin had said before—
Being afraid to cause trouble is a sign of mediocrity, and in a sense, it's about bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Tang San's Divine Sense's mind was filled with complex emotions, but on the surface he said, "Such a school motto really needs to be revised. If an academy can't even uphold the most basic moral principles, what qualifications does it have to teach students?"
I think so too.
Tang Wulin nodded, then asked directly:
"Old Tang, I heard someone say something similar in my dream before. Is there another consciousness inside me?"
Tang San's Divine Sense on Tang Wulin, a slight thought stirring within him, and finally noticed the complex expression on his face.
So that's how it is. Wulin probably had suspicions about him, right?
That kid is something else. Such a blunt question made him realize he wouldn't get the answer he wanted.
Amidst a whirlwind of thoughts, Tang San's Divine Sense to the Golden Dragon King Seal and pondered:
"There is indeed another consciousness within you, and unlike mine, it possesses its own memories. But it is the Dragon King, and I doubt it would pay attention to human society..."
Tang San's Divine Sense revealed a solemn expression, seemingly suggesting a suspect, yet not completely ruling out other possibilities, which left Tang Wulin somewhat confused.
According to Old Tang, it seems neither he nor the Dragon King did it; otherwise, why would he name a suspect while simultaneously defending the other party?
Why not just put the hat on that Dragon King...? Hmm, Dragon King? There's only one Dragon King inside him, right?
Tang Wulin looked at the Golden Dragon King Seal with a shocked expression, "He's still alive?"
"Only a wisp of its soul remains." Tang San's Divine Sense sighed. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be here. The powerful being who cast the seal couldn't completely extinguish its will."
The Golden Dragon King, perhaps seeing how much power they had expended to kill him, or perhaps having killed quite a few gods, felt he had done enough. His Destruction will was no longer so strong, and he became more rational, actually leaving behind a fragment of his Divine Consciousness which fused into his Divine Core.
After they finished sealing him, they discovered that he still retained a sliver of consciousness, but it was too late to back out. Earlier, when the Silver Dragon King appeared, it was also because he was mocking him.
However, the opponent's Divine Consciousness is trapped within the final seal and can do nothing at this moment. The Silver Dragon King he's relying on is also unaware of his situation, allowing him to gloat for a while longer...
Seeing Tang Wulin, who was completely absorbed in the fact that the Golden Dragon King was still alive and had forgotten his original purpose, Tang San's Divine Sense secretly shook his head.
Wulin is too young and doesn't understand the wickedness of people's hearts. He can easily dispel Wu Lin's doubts by simply acting on his own.
"Wulin, as the seal breaks, you will gradually be influenced by the Golden Dragon King's will, and may even be bewitched by him. Remember, never listen to anything the Golden Dragon King says!"
Inside the room, Gu Yuena told Huo Yuhao various pieces of information, her brow furrowed as she said, "Yuhao, this is information Xiong Jun relayed to me about the Golden Dragon King Seal."
"The three Divine Power have been unsealed; is the Golden Dragon King's Remnant Soul still there?"
Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.
A red-haired woman, a white halo... could it be the Godess of Kindness, Lie Yan?
So it seems that this seal was set up by the Godess of Kindness, the God of Evil, and Tang San together, and Tang San was only responsible for the first six seals.
Moreover, judging from what Wulin saw, the Godess of Kindness's ideas were clearly different from the original Tang San's. He did not intend for Wulin to bear all the power of the Golden Dragon King himself, but instead made a contingency plan for the worst-case scenario and left behind a means to help remove the Golden Dragon King Seal.
Huo Yuhao's thoughts raced, finally settling on the matter of the Golden Dragon King's Remnant Soul.
The tombstone he erected for the deceased seems to have been erected too early...
This time, the Golden Dragon King's initial intention was probably not to torment Tang San by killing Wulin Lin.
After all, Tang San's Sea God Divine Spark was stripped away because of his sacrifice, Golden Dragon King's hatred for him couldn't possibly be as deep as it was in the original story.
It's more likely that it's trying to conceal its aura through the Wulin, just as the Abyssal Sage King cleverly entrusted his Divine Consciousness to Bai Xiuxiu before his demise—both were expedient measures to protect themselves in times of crisis. Although, according to the usual pattern, in the end, this usually just results in handing opportunities to others...
Thinking it over, Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena, whose expression was complicated, and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"I don't know." Gu Yuena sighed softly, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
The fact that the Golden Dragon King was still alive threw her thoughts into disarray.
There was joy, but also worry.
"His thoughts may not be the same as mine, nor may his path be the same as ours. What he probably hopes for is that only one of us remains, who will devour the other, transform into Dragon God, and recreate the past glory..."
Hearing Gu Yuena's whisper, Huo Yuhao stepped forward and gently stroked her soft hair. "Don't rush into a decision. Think about it after you've calmed down."
Gu Yuena closed her eyes slightly, feeling the warmth from Huo Yuhao's fingertips, and the turmoil in her heart seemed to calm down a little. "Actually, I'm not too worried. With you here, we can suppress him and let him also enter this era."
Huo Yuhao paused, then chuckled softly:
"I am Ling Bing, Huo Yuhao, not a god, much less God King. There's no need for you to be so confident in me."
Gu Yuena slightly raised her eyes, a complex emotion flashing across her face before turning into a gentle smile. "I know, but Yuhao, you lied to me first, making me believe you, so you have to take responsibility."
