Question: Did Heaven Blessed Douluo Become Someone Else's Baby Daddy? (5,000 words)
After the Abyssal Sage King resurrected Fiery Emperor and had Spirit Emperor take Fiery Emperor Lie away, he closed his eyes and once again extended his thoughts to the Douluo Continent, wanting to contact the Devil Emperor and explain some things.
Unexpectedly, after sensing the area, they could not find any trace of the Devil Emperor.
The Abyssal Sage King opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
Clearly, the Devil Emperor has run into trouble; he probably encountered an accident while helping them break the seal.
"Very well. We still have a few Possession Demon left; that should be enough to serve as a channel for communication with the Holy Spirit Cult."
He did not investigate the Nightmare Emperor's whereabouts any further.
An emperor-level being is no longer of much help in the current situation. If a piece is broken, just replace it with another.
So, what exactly happened to the Devil Emperor, who was ignored by the Abyssal Sage King?
This story begins several hours earlier.
Upon receiving Huo Yuhao's notification, Yue Tian Douluo rushed over immediately after learning that the Blood God Legion was in trouble.
Moreover, he did not come alone; he was accompanied by a group of powerful figures from the War God Temple, including Rong Tianling, the newly appointed Temple Master of the War God Temple.
In mid-air, Yue Tian Douluo turned to Rong Tianling beside him and thanked her, "Thank you for your assistance, Palace Master----"
Before he could finish speaking, Rong Tianling waved his hand.
"This involves the Abyss and the Holy Spirit Cult, and it's not just your business. There's no need for thanks. Instead of polite words, think about how to awaken the Heaven Blessed Douluo."
Yue Tian Douluo wasn't worried about this matter. "His Majesty Huo Yuhao has already given me the means to deal with the Possession Demon, so I'm not worried about that. What I'm worried about is what will happen after my teacher is rescued—"
He paused there, not continuing.
But Rong Tianling and the other members of the War God Temple had already understood his concerns.
Once the Possession Demon is destroyed, the Heaven Blessed Douluo will face a "cruel" reality.
Knowing the lingering fear and self-reproach of working for the Holy Spirit Cult, the college to which he had dedicated his life had been destroyed for treason, and most abstractly, the fact that his wife had cuckolded him after his disappearance—
Even if Heaven Blessed Douluo is Limit Douluo, he might not be able to withstand this news.
She might have become depressed on the spot.
In the silence, the group quickly located the Devil Emperor and the group of Titled Douluo he brought, using the coordinates provided by the Blood God Legion.
At this moment, the Nightmare Emperor, who was lying in ambush fifty miles away from the Blood God Legion, saw this group of uninvited guests from afar and his expression immediately changed.
Why would powerful figures from the War God Temple be here, and why would they come straight at them?
He didn't think these people were just passing by.
But that doesn't make sense.
If the Blood God Legion suspected foul play due to unusual activity in the Abyss Passage and investigated, eventually coming to their doorstep, then that would be perfectly reasonable.
But the War God Temple, which shouldn't be here, has arrived, and they've sent the Temple Master, Deputy Temple Master, and several War Gods all at once. This is very suspicious.
The Devil Emperor had a vague feeling that he had been set up.
This made him look rather unwell.
In this operation, besides utilizing the backup plan set up by the Sage King through him to open the Abyss Passage, he also led a group of Holy Spirit Cult Titled Douluo and another individual to break into the Blood God Great Array, further disrupting the Blood God Legion's method of sealing the Abyss Passage.
The Blood God Great Array, specifically designed for the Abyss Passage, can draw upon the power of different planes, making it arguably the most powerful formation on the Douluo Continent. However, because it essentially utilizes the plane's own repulsion of the Abyss Plane, the formation only repels outsiders and has little effect on the natives of Douluo.
As long as these "human powerhouses" infiltrate the Blood God Legion's territory and attack from the core of the formation, the Blood God Great Array.
But now that the people from the War God Temple are blocking the door, how can this plan be carried out?
Seeing that the auras of Yue Tian Douluo and Rong Tianling had firmly locked onto this area, and that several War God Temple had also dispersed, attempting to block all escape routes, the Devil Emperor frowned and finally let out a low shout.
"Split up and break through! Every person who can leave is a chance!"
Without hesitation, the Holy Spirit Cult Titled Douluo surrounding him, who were performing the bizarre rituals with him, swiftly fled in all directions.
The Devil Emperor himself also chose a direction and quickly retreated.
However, Heaven Blessed Douluo was Demigod, not Quasi-God. Although he possessed the talent of the Possession Demon race, even Quasi-God could not defeat him, he was still inferior to Quasi-God in terms of his mastery of spatial arts.
So it wasn't long before he was caught up by Yue Tian Douluo.
"Since that's the case, then let's put on a show."
The Devil Emperor coldly observed Yue Tian Douluo and Rong Tianling, who was covering for him not far away, his expression stern.
He didn't believe that two mere Quasi-God could really do anything to him.
If you can break my defense, I'll admit defeat!
Without any warning, the great battle was immediately triggered.
Two extremely powerful Spear Intent clashed fiercely in the void, and a muffled thunder seemed to resound throughout the world.
The Devil Emperor's Spear Intent surged like a raging sea, wave after wave crashing down upon them. Its majestic and domineering aura was like that of a tyrant leading a million troops, ready to crush all who resisted into dust.
However, the Yue Tian Divine Spear of the Yue Tian Douluo is completely different. Its Spear Intent is sharp, pure, and unstoppable. The silver-white spear light seems to be able to pierce through everything in the world and pierce the sky. It even tears a hole in the sky.
"Bite--!"
Sparks flew as the two guns clashed.
A visible shockwave emanated from the point of impact, spreading outwards and sending rubble and dead trees flying within a radius of hundreds of meters. The space itself trembled violently.
"Yue Tian Douluo, you still have to call this old guy I possessed 'teacher,' right? Why are you blocking my way today? Are you trying to kill your master?"
The aftershocks of the clash of the two guns had not yet dissipated when the Devil Emperor's words pierced the heart of Yue Tian Douluo like a poisoned dagger.
But Guan Yue was not affected in the slightest; in fact, her Spear Intent became even more refined.
Seeing this, the Devil Emperor's left hand became ethereal. Relying on his talent for Possession Demon energy, he neutralized Guan Yue's attack and continued, "Or are you trying to save this old guy? With your abilities? You can't even hurt me!"
Yue Tian Douluo remained silent, only continuing to brandish his spear.
Among all the Limit Douluo, he was considered the most balanced and stable Quasi-God, always remaining steady and reliable.
He rarely creates miracles, and his cultivation progress is far slower than that of his senior brother Yun Ming, but it remains consistently stable, and he never gives his opponents any openings in battle.
Therefore, such words are unlikely to have any impact on him.
The silvery-white spear light poured down like a torrential rain, and Guan Yue's spear thrust became increasingly fierce.
However, the Devil Emperor's innate ability as Possession Demon was too powerful, and he was unable to break through the Demon Emperor's defenses.
Seeing Yue Tian Douluo's attitude, the Devil Emperor felt inexplicably uneasy.
He didn't ignore this feeling and used all his strength. His spear thrust forward fiercely, and in that instant, the realm of the Spear God was revealed. The spear in his hand changed once again, as if it were the ultimate truth of heaven and earth!
What exactly is the realm of Spear God? For a master of the Spear Dao, it is a level where one has touched upon a trace of God Rank essence.
Humans and gods are ultimately different.
The moment the spear was thrust out, the world changed color.
The surrounding air seemed to have been sucked out; all the air currents, light, and even sound distorted along the trajectory of that shot.
Collapse and converge at the tip of the spear. The dark gold spear is no longer a spear, but a black lightning bolt that pierces through heaven and earth, carrying Destruction spiritual will, heading straight for the chest of Yue Tian Douluo.
However, isn't Yue Tian Douluo also Spear God?
Guan Yue could use similar tactics.
And when he unleashed it, it was even stronger!
Guan Yue's Essence, Energy, and Spirit, and spirit merged into one, and Spear Intent purer and closer to the Great Dao than that of the Devil Emperor was revealed from the Yue Tian Divine Spear. The moment the Yue Tian Divine Spear out, it seemed that only this silver-white light remained in the world, crushing the Devil Emperor's attack bit by bit.
The Devil Emperor narrowed his eyes, a smirk playing on his lips. He didn't resist the attack, intending to use his talent to turn this power into his own and attack Guan Yue in return.
As Possession Demon, he was confident that Yue Tian Douluo and Rong Tianling beside him could not harm him, but facing a powerful Quasi-God, it would be difficult for him to hurt the opponent with his own abilities.
The best course of action is to use their own methods against them.
However, just as the Devil Emperor gave up resisting and fully activated his talent, a golden light burst forth from Guan Yue's body and rushed into the Devil Emperor's body. Upon Guan Yue's face, while the Devil Emperor's smile froze.
"What is this?!"
The Devil Emperor felt the power that had been absorbed into his body, which went directly to his Spiritual Sea, and it seemed that a consciousness was reviving within it.
This is----
"The power of Divine Consciousness!" The Devil Emperor's expression changed drastically after he had sensed this power before.
He was truly set up.
Sensing the danger, the Devil Emperor immediately wanted to temporarily leave the battlefield and deal with that Divine Consciousness.
Although the Divine Consciousness power that entered his body was not strong, given time, he could handle it. However, if there were two Quasi-God outside assisting him with their Divine Power Divine Consciousness, it would be difficult for him to resolve the situation.
However, escaping from two Quasi-God was clearly not an easy task, especially since the two had come prepared.
"Trying to run?" Rong Tianling, who had been observing from the sidelines, suddenly launched an attack, deploying a spatial sealing barrier to cut off the Devil Emperor's retreat.
At the same time, she took out a palm-sized Soul Tool from her bosom. It was a jade tablet that was entirely emerald green, with mysterious runes engraved on its surface, radiating a Life energy so rich it was almost impossible to dissolve.
The Life Prison is a one-time-use Soul Tool specially made for the Devil Emperor.
As the Rong Tianling was activated, emerald green light burst forth from the jade tablet, creating another massive barrier outside the Space Barrier. The barrier was hemispherical, completely enveloping the space within a hundred feet in radius. Runes flowed on the emerald green light wall, emanating an aura that the Devil Emperor instinctively found repulsive.
Life energy is naturally the nemesis of Possession Demon. They loathe it intensely because they cannot directly possess and utilize Life energy. Therefore, if a human wears a Life crystal containing abundant Life energy, the demons will refuse to possess them.
Although Possession Demon that has successfully possessed someone can use the possessed person to absorb and dissipate this Life energy, if Life energy is present, it will be unable to break through the defenses with the power of Possession Demon.
You all deserve to die!
The Devil Emperor's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He thrust out his dark gold spear, attempting to break through the emerald green barrier, but how could Rong Tianling and Guan Yue allow him to succeed?
The Heaven-Burning Blazing Fire and the Yue Tian Divine Spear simultaneously met the attack, striking from the left and right, shattering the purplish-black spear light. The aftershocks of the explosion echoed within the barrier, causing the emerald green light wall to tremble slightly, yet it remained standing.
The Devil Emperor wanted to abandon defense and use his talent to withstand the attacks of the two, shifting all his attention to his Spiritual Sea. However, the two then launched a mental attack, leaving him powerless to influence that Divine Consciousness.
The Devil Emperor was completely tied up.
At this moment, the wisp of Divine Consciousness that had entered his body had already taken human form.
It was him?!
The familiar figure horrified the Devil Emperor.
Huo Yuhao has been revived inside him!
Huo Yuhao's Divine Consciousness stepped into the depths of the Spiritual Sea, awakening the consciousness of the Heaven Blessed Douluo and his Soul Spirit.
Instantly, a sense of rejection surged forth like a tidal wave from the Spiritual Sea and every cell of this body, directly reducing the Devil Emperor's strength.
"While your clan's abilities are indeed powerful, they ultimately only possess, not devour. Therefore, you need to retain the consciousness, soul, and even the Soul Spirit of the possessed person; otherwise, you will be unable to utilize the intelligence and abilities of the possessed individual, which gives you a fatal weakness."
In Huo Yuhao's view, the Possession Demon's abilities are somewhat similar to those of the superhumans in Lord of the Mysteries who consume magical potions; its power is more of a usurpation than a true possession.
Possession Demon is undoubtedly powerful after taking over a human body, it must also contend with "madness" and suppress the original consciousness within. If problems arise, the Possession Demon's strength will be greatly reduced, becoming something that even a wisp of its Divine Consciousness can control.
And now, the consciousness of the Heaven Blessed Douluo has been revived within him!
The consciousness of the Heaven Blessed Douluo had been suppressed by the Devil Emperor for a long time, like a lamp covered by a thick cloth, with only a faint Core Flame remaining.
But the wisp of Divine Consciousness that Huo Yuhao brought was like a Qingfeng, blowing away the thick veil of dust and reigniting the Core Flame.
"What's wrong with me—" an aged and weary voice echoed in the Spiritual Sea, then, as if recalling the experience of being possessed, it instantly transformed into boundless rage, "Damn Holy Spirit Cult, they actually cooperated with the Abyss Plane!"
The Divine Body of the Heaven Blessed Douluo appeared in the Spiritual Sea, causing the entire Spiritual Sea to tremble. It was the body's true master's most instinctive expulsion of the intruder.
The Devil Emperor's Possession Demon form was forced out of his consciousness, transforming into a purplish-black Divine Body that fell awkwardly in front of Huo Yuhao and Heaven Blessed Douluo, looking at them in panic.
"You—you all—" The Devil Emperor's voice trembled as he glanced at Huo Yuhao and Heaven Blessed Douluo, a sense of unprecedented despair welling up in his heart.
Heaven Blessed Douluo's cold gaze swept over him. The humiliation of being suppressed for decades and the pain of being possessed and unable to control his own body made him want to tear the other man apart, but he knew he couldn't.
"Leave it to me." Huo Yuhao's voice rang out from the side.
Heaven Blessed Douluo remained silent for a moment, then nodded and bowed solemnly, "Then I entrust it to Your Majesty. I must thank Your Majesty for saving my life."
Huo Yuhao waved his hand, grabbed the Possession Demon, disappeared from the Spiritual Sea, and appeared in the outside world, where he met Yue Tian Douluo.
"You and your master should have a good chat."
Before Yue Tian Douluo could express his gratitude, Huo Yuhao finished speaking with his Divine Consciousness and disappeared with the Devil Emperor's true form, heading towards the Undead Plane, leaving only Rong Tianling, Heaven Blessed Douluo, and Yue Tian Douluo behind.
"Then you two talk. I'll go deal with the rest of the Holy Spirit Cult members."
Rong Tianling glanced at the two of them, then left, leaving the space for them to talk.
"Thank you for your help, Palace Master." Guan Yue watched Rong Tianling leave, thanked him in a deep voice, and then turned to look at Heaven Blessed Douluo.
In an instant, only the master and his apprentice remained on this shattered wasteland.
"Teacher----"
After a long silence, Guan Yue opened her mouth, but a thousand words stuck in her throat, ultimately turning into a sob.
Looking at his disciple's aged face, Heaven Blessed Douluo recalled their last meeting when the other was still a heroic young man, and his expression became somewhat dazed.
After a moment, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse, "Guan Yue, how long have I been controlled?"
He also has no memory of being controlled.
Guan Yue shuddered and whispered, "Teacher, you've been missing for nearly a hundred years."
"I see—how have you and the college been doing these past few years?"
"----My senior brother and I are both doing well. We've both become Quasi-God, and my senior brother's Divine Power has even reached the Divine Origin Realm." Guan Yue's heart skipped a beat. For a moment, she didn't know how to talk about Shrek Academy, so she decided to find a topic that the Heaven Blessed Douluo would be interested in first.
As expected, upon hearing that Yun Ming had achieved the Divine Origin Realm, Heaven Blessed Douluo's attention was temporarily diverted.
"Really? You've truly surpassed your teachers. You're much better than me, but I already anticipated that when I took you on as my apprentices."
Heaven Blessed Douluo sighed, "I just didn't expect Yun Ming to actually reach the God Realm."
He didn't ask about Shrek; after all, Yun Ming had already reached the God Rank, what problems could possibly arise at the academy?
The two then reminisced for a while, but neither of them mentioned Shrek or Long Yeyue.
Just as Guan Yue was about to ask Heaven Blessed Douluo why he was possessed, Heaven Blessed Douluo suddenly glanced in the direction of Rong Tianling.
"You just referred to that person as the Temple Master. Is she the new Temple Master of the War God Temple? Has that old guy Chen Xinjie retired? Yes, he should be over two hundred years old now, almost at retirement age. This one is also Quasi-God born in the last hundred years, right? Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older.
Guan Yue: "----"
No, I've already tried to avoid that topic. How did you manage to circumvent it like this?
But he also understood that Heaven Blessed Douluo and Chen Xinjie were from the same generation, and it was inevitable that they would be curious about each other's situation.
Knowing there was no way to avoid it, Guan Yue sighed and said in a deep voice, "Vast Sea Douluo has already defected from the Federation because of Light and Dark Douluo."
Heaven Blessed Douluo's expression froze, and he looked at him with a face full of question marks.
"???"
Why is it that he understands each word individually, but not when they're put together?
What does it mean that "Chen Xinjie has already defected from the Federation because of Long Yeyue"?
Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue were indeed lovers at first, but Chen Xinjie chose to separate from Long Yeyue for the sake of the Federation, the military, and his family. He later married and had children. Now you're saying he betrayed the Federation, his family, and the military for Long Yeyue?
So why did you break up in the first place?!
Are you sick?!
And then there's Long Yeyue. She's already married to me. You're telling me she got involved with Chen Xinjie after I disappeared? What am I then? One Ring of their flirting?
Heaven Blessed Douluo felt unwell, and his face turned green.
But then it suddenly dawned on him: Chen Xinjie's defection from the Federation because of Long Yeyue meant that Long Yeyue had done something detrimental to the Federation?
As if knowing what Heaven Blessed Douluo was thinking, Guan Yue of desperation, revealed everything about how the Devil Emperor controlled him to steal the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, the destruction of Shrek Academy, the death of Long Yeyue, and the reincarnation of a god.
A deluge of information surged forth like a tidal wave, especially the words "Shrek's destruction," which struck Heaven Blessed Douluo's mind like a thunderbolt, causing his vision to go black and almost making him faint on the spot.
He felt that the world was too unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that he thought he was dreaming.
"Teacher----" Guan Yue looked at her teacher's ashen face and didn't know what to say to comfort her.
Heaven Blessed Douluo waved his hand, signaling him not to speak. He closed his eyes, looked up at the sky, his aged face full of weariness, and after a long while, he let out a low sigh.
"Let this old man have some peace and quiet."
Guan Yue opened her mouth, but didn't say anything more.
Actually, he has another big scoop he hasn't revealed yet.
Rumors circulate that the teacher and Long Yeyue had a child who died young. However, according to some War Gods of the War God Temple, the child was actually Chen Xinjie's. This information was revealed by Long Yeyue through her Thought Materialization before her death, and it is considered very reliable.
(Note: From Chen Xinjie's perspective in the original novel, the child who died was the child of Heaven Blessed Douluo and Long Yeyue. Obviously, in the eyes of others, the child belonged to Heaven Blessed Douluo.)
Guan Yue didn't know whether Long Yeyue was pregnant when she married her teacher, or whether she remarried after her child had died.
However, according to rumors, the child's name was given to his teacher.
If the teacher knew and tacitly approved, that would be fine—okay, that's hard to deny too much. But it's better than knowing nothing and becoming a father out of nowhere.
Hopefully, the teacher will find out about this when they get there, otherwise—
Guan Yue sighed inwardly, swallowing back the words that were about to come out.
He dared not speak.
If the teacher, looking so frail now, were to throw in another bombshell—"You might become a father unexpectedly"—they might really have to send him away on the spot.
(The relationships between Long Yeyue, Chen Xinjie, and Heaven Spring Douluo are so complicated. Not only is Long Yeyue, as the wife of Heaven Blessed Douluo, thinking about other men, but according to the original novel, it seems that Long Yeyue has never let Heaven Blessed Douluo touch her. I really don't know what the point of her marrying Tianjuan is. Isn't this bullying an honest man?)
