Rong Nianbing's whereabouts

It's done.

Huo Yuhao suppressed his joy and stood up, looking around. The original location of Qiankun Asking Love Valley was now nothing but emptiness. Beyond that emptiness, the space where Old Yi had gathered was operating stably, supporting the central war zone of the Star Dou Battle Network.

Huo Yuhao flashed and arrived at the Central War Zone outside.

Snow Empress, Old Yi, and others are all here, as is Tang Wutong's Divine Consciousness.

Several people came forward. Snow Empress glanced at him, and only after confirming that he was alright did she ask softly, "Was it smooth sailing?"

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Everything is understood without words.

With that matter settled, Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to Tang Wutong.

"So, what are your plans next?"

Tang Wutong was stunned by his question.

What is her plan?

What can she do?

Aunt Rongrong and Uncle Oscar are trapped in the secret realm, with no idea when they will be able to escape. She's just a Divine Consciousness; she can't defeat them in a fight, and they won't let her go. What can she do?

Isn't that a rhetorical question you already know the answer to?

"--I'll follow you."

She finally managed to utter this sentence, her voice barely audible, "I'll go with Aunt Rongrong and the others when they come out."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Alright then, I'll arrange accommodation for you at the Spirit Pagoda later—by the way, besides the Spirit Pagoda, I have another place I can offer you."

Tang Wutong shuddered when she saw his interested expression. She inexplicably thought of the seven old demons enslaved by Huo Yuhao, and quickly crossed her arms and looked at him warily.

"Don't even think about it. I can do some things for you that don't compromise your principles, but I will never be your slave!"

"You're overthinking it."

Huo Yuhao was somewhat speechless. "Your younger brother has also come to the Douluo Continent and is currently at the Spirit Pagoda. I'm asking you if you want me to arrange a suitable identity and residence for you so you can see him often."

Tang Wutong was stunned.

younger brother?

She blinked, not quite understanding at first.

"Me—my younger brother?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Tang Wulin, you should know of his existence, right?"

Tang Wutong remained silent for a moment.

Of course she knew.

After all, Tang Wulin was born before the Space-Time Turbulence arrived, and she had even held him in her arms.

But she didn't understand why her younger brother had also come to the mortal realm. What had happened in the Divine Realm?

"How is he now?" After a long silence, Tang Wutong asked, her voice trembling.

"Very good."

Huo Yuhao said, "Back when something happened in your Divine Realm, he was sent to the Douluo Continent and adopted by a couple. He grew up slowly and is now a disciple of Xiong Jun of the Spirit Pagoda."

Xiong Jun?

You're not talking about the Xiong Jun, one of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, are you?

Tang Wutong's expression turned somewhat strange when she thought about her younger brother having taken a bear as his master, but she could accept it, so she didn't say much. She just frowned and asked, "Why do you know that Wulin is my brother? Does he know about our background?"

In fact, she had more questions, such as why Huo Yuhao and the others were taking care of Wulin since they had a grudge against the Sea God. But considering that her own Divine Consciousness was still intact and Ning Rongrong and Oscar were only put in solitary confinement, she was not surprised.

Clearly, the person in front of me has their own bottom line when it comes to doing things.

"Wulin possesses Tang San's Divine Sense."

Huo Yuhao casually explained, "Wulin doesn't know his own background. His adoptive parents treat him like their own son and haven't told him the truth yet."

He currently only feels that he is special, and therefore believes that he might be a reincarnation of a god.

Tang Wutong:".

Reincarnation of a deity?

That kid really has a vivid imagination.

I've heard that Xiong Jun is just a powerful but reckless bear. Wulin is Xiong Jun; could it be that he inherited Xiong Jun's extraordinary strength and wisdom?

Huo Yuhao: "If you plan to see him, I can arrange it, but there are some things I hope you'll think carefully about when to tell him. He doesn't have a good impression of Tang San right now."

Tang Wutong 'Divine Consciousness eyelids twitched.

Got it, my brother is a "rebellious son".

Looking at Tang Wutong's complicated expression, Huo Yuhao finally said, "Oh, right, one last reminder. Tang San's Divine Sense within Wulin has a history of misbehavior; he's not very obedient. Wulin was worried he might do something bad, so he helped us erase his memories."

Tang Wutong's Divine Consciousness: "--?!"

This is a threat, isn't it? This must be a threat!

If I disobey, will you treat me the same way you treated my father's Divine Consciousness?

Wulin, I thought you were just a little "rebellious," but I didn't expect you to be so "filial," even going so far as to erase your father's Divine Consciousness and memories—I admire you!

Tang Wutong Divine Consciousness a mix of emotions, and for a moment she didn't know what expression to make.

After a moment, she gave her answer.

"Thank you for the proposal, Your Majesty. Let's proceed as originally planned—I'll see him again when I have the chance."

Her brother had already betrayed his own family for the greater good, so she didn't want to wander around in front of him, lest she arouse suspicion and end up like her Divine Consciousness.

I'll wait until I have another chance to see him.

EE EE E

In the Central Theater Command, when Huo Yuhao was refining the Qiankun Asking Love Valley, a tremor struck, but it quickly subsided.

Although it surprised many, the selection process continued after the Federation reassured them.

From the stands, Sima Jinchi watched the battle unfold on the ring, a hint of regret in his eyes.

Because he ran into a Limit Douluo early on, he was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

However, Sima Jinchi looked at the battle before him and felt it was all just a matter of course.

He couldn't compete for a spot in the top four, after all, there were three Limit Douluo and one Four-Word Battle Armor Master among them. It's not unfair that he stopped here.

At this very moment, the battle for the top four has reached its climax.

On the arena, two figures crisscrossed, their Soul Power surging, drawing gasps from the audience.

Gu Ruiqiu's Golden Dragon Bloodline surged, and she unleashed a punch. The golden dragon head roared, tearing black cracks through the air.

Her opponent was none other than Yuanen Zhentian, who was also skilled in strength.

Upon seeing this, Yuanen Zhentian neither dodged nor evaded, but instead met the attack with a punch of his own.

"Bang!" The two fists collided, and a shockwave visible to the naked eye spread outwards, causing the protective shield at the edge of the arena to tremble violently.

Both men backed down, but Yuanen Zhentian did not gain the upper hand in terms of strength.

"Incredible power!" Yuanen Zhentian's eyes flashed as he said in a deep voice, "Truly Ultimate of the Golden Dragon, the pinnacle of power, truly worthy of His Majesty the Dragon God!"

Gu Ruiqiu's lips twitched.

Your Majesty the Dragon God God--

She admitted she was tired of hearing that nickname, but it still made her feel uncomfortable every time she heard it.

"Again!" she shouted, and the dragon scales covering her body shone brightly, transforming her into a golden streak of light as she charged forward.

Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, and others quietly appeared in the audience.

"This girl's strength has improved again."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "It seems you've improved a bit in the recent high-intensity combat during the selection process."

Gu Yuena nodded.

"It's good, but that's about it."

If it were Quasi-Demigod just reaching the Limit, Gu Ruiqiu could still fight, but not now.

Even if Yuanen Zhentian didn't obtain Er Ming's essence blood to advance to Quasi-God this time, he is still a senior Demigod. Gu Ruiqiu obviously can't win against such an opponent.

Tang Wutong heard their conversation but remained silent, simply watching the battle unfold before her with curiosity in her eyes.

Although he saw some things about this era in the old demon's memories, witnessing them firsthand was obviously a completely different experience.

Is that Battle Armor?

And then there's this virtual space.

Soul-guided technology has become increasingly interesting in this era.

After satisfying her curiosity, Tang Wutong turned her gaze to the arena.

As Gu Yuena had predicted, as the battle progressed, Gu Ruiqiu gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

However, Tang Wutong wasn't concerned with winning or losing; she was more interested in Gu Ruiqiu herself.

"That's... Auspicious Beast?"

Tang Wutong looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise, "Aren't you afraid something will happen if you let her out?"

"Something happened?" Huo Yuhao laughed. "I've heard your mother's and grandmother's stories too. They were just Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, yet they dared to come out, and that was in an era when humans and Soul Beast were completely hostile. In comparison, now that relations between humans and Soul Beast have eased, and with us protecting her, why can't she come out?"

"--That makes sense." Thinking of the stories of her grandmother and mother after they transformed into human form, Tang Wutong was speechless.

Compared to her mother and grandmother, the conditions for the Auspicious Beast after its transformation are far too good. It is protected by numerous Ferocious Beast, humans and beasts live in harmony, and now it is even watched over by deities. Furthermore, its own strength has reached the initial stage of the Limit. Why can't it go out and have some fun?

It just goes to show, comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.

"However, the First Generation Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda deserves much credit for making this possible, right?"

Tang Wutong tapped her chin with her finger, looking at Di Tian and Snow Empress. She had already recognized their identities. "I don't know much about him, but you two should know what kind of person he is, right?"

Di Tian and Snow Empress silently looked away, and Mu almost suppressed a smile.

He's right beside you, but unfortunately, you don't recognize him and still think of him as the reincarnation of God King.

The two people's reactions puzzled Tang Wutong for a moment, but Gu Yuena's problem made her temporarily put aside this strangeness.

Why do you need to know him?

Gu Yuena glanced at Huo Yuhao secretly, then asked Tang Wutong, "Besides, you and he both emerged from Ten Thousand Years Ago, you should understand..."

"I'm just a little curious about people from the same era," Tang Wutong said. "Besides, I had no contact with him at all. After all, when he officially came out to operate in the world, my father was already eager for me to inherit the Butterfly God's Divine Position and summoned me back to the Divine Realm."

Huo Yuhao complained: To be precise, I'm confirming that you didn't fly. After Tang San gave up some of his ideas, he officially came out to participate in activities.

Tang Wutong continued her recollection, "The first time I heard about him was when Uncle Rong Nianli —the first God of Emotion —told me that he had found an interesting person and originally wanted to pass on the Divine Position to the world, but the other party refused."

"That's First Rank God Divine Position! According to Uncle Zi and Father's methods, it's possible to advance to the God King Divine Position. To just give that up like that—don't you people find that strange?"

Originally intending to watch the show, Di Tian's pupils contracted, and he consciously looked at Huo Yuhao.

You refuse the Divine Position a First Rank God?

Is there still a chance to become God King?

Is this something a human could do?

A well-fed man won't go hungry for a starving man; I can't even become a god, and this guy won't even accept such Divine Position.

Di Tian had to admit that he was jealous.

Even Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao with some surprise.

"Don't look at me like that. Douluo Dalu Tang San is keeping a close eye on me. The fact that Senior Rong Nianli could detect me clearly means that Tang San tacitly approved it."

Huo Yuhao could tell what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions, so he transmitted his voice directly to them.

According to the original work, the reason Rong Nianli was able to discover him was because Tang San had Rong Nianli watch over the Douluo Dazha during his seclusion. In other words, this was very likely a scheme orchestrated by Tang San himself.

The moment Huo Yuhao saw Rong Nianli, he realized that Tang San was still Undying. If one move didn't work, he'd try another. If worldly things couldn't attract him, then he'd try Divine Position instead.

In Huo Yuhao's view, if he chooses to inherit the Emotion God Position, who knows what he might encounter during the process of inheriting the Divine Position.

After all, the previous Sea God had a history of such behavior, so it makes perfect sense that the content of Tian Qi Jiu's test appeared in the Sea God Trial.

Furthermore, in the original novel, Tang San was able to use the Rong Nianli stealing Huo Yuhao Rong Nianli to stay in the Divine Realm, thus incurring Huo Yuhao's debt of gratitude. What if they use the same method this time, and Tang San also participates in the Emotion God Trial?

Divine trials are different from other things; gods can interfere openly and legitimately, and the Divine Realm will turn a blind eye and not hold anyone accountable.

At that time, there might be various trials such as the Asking Love Yikun Valley and battles against Tang San, and Huo Yuhao felt that he and Old Yi were probably doomed.

So, Ten Thousand Years Ago, after lamenting that "the Blue Silver Grass Entanglement is still chasing after me," he decisively rejected the position of the Emotion God Position.

If he doesn't get involved, Tang San's options are limited; if he does, he has no say in the matter.

Tang Wutong noticed the strangeness between the two and continued with a sigh, "Uncle Rong Nianli was also sighing, that guy is the most unique person he has ever met. He clearly had the opportunity to rise to the top in one step, but he chose to stay in the mortal world. Afterwards, he didn't seem to regret it. He is completely different from the other god I know who has had similar experiences."

"At first I didn't understand either, but after seeing my friends die of old age in the mortal realm, I think I can understand it a little better. Eternal Life isn't necessarily a good thing; dying of old age in the mortal realm alongside your family and friends is also a choice."

No, you misunderstood. If I die of old age, my relatives and friends will also die of old age. Don't curse me.

Thinking it over, Huo Yuhao said, "If you want to understand the people and events of ten Ten Thousand Years Ago, you can read some historical records after you go out—try to read the most widely circulated ones, as the records in the Spirit Pagoda section are somewhat biased."

Is it biased? Why would the Spirit Pagoda be biased?

Tang Wutong's expression was strange, but Huo Yuhao interrupted her thoughts with a question.

"You've mentioned your ex -Rong Nianli, the God of Emotion, several times. It seems you're quite familiar with him. Are you here on his behalf?"

"Uncle Rong Nianli?"

Tang Wutong was taken aback, not understanding why Huo Yuhao would ask this, but still replied, "I don't know either. He mentioned it to me before he left the Divine Realm. However, according to the God of Emotion, although he has left this star field, he will return in the future, after all, this is his hometown."

Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully.

They were not concerned with the Dao. While they were talking, on the other side, Shi Rong Nianli, and his eyelids twitched.

Should we intervene or not?
