The more Lin Yuan spoke, the more fired up he became. He raised a dragon claw, pointed it at Tang San, and kept laying into him.
"And you left those tricks in your descendants so you could descend to the mortal world whenever you wanted.
"You come down with the strength of a First-Class God. Why not bring your God King strength down with you while you're at it?
"Then you could clear out the whole Douluo Continent with one click!
"What's the point of all this scheming?
"To protect your image as the pure and spotless God King Tang?
"Hahahaha! Tang San, Tang San, that image of yours is long gone.
"You're still pretending to be up in the Divine Realm, desperately holding back the spacetime turbulence. Little do you know, I've already shown every god in the Divine Realm everything you've done."
Lin Yuan had long since opened a Divine Realm Sky Screen.
Connecting to the Divine Realm was a simple matter for him. Everything happening on Douluo Continent was now being broadcast live to every god there.
The two God Kings, Kindness and Evil, had decidedly mixed feelings.
Tang San had gone too far. He had actually dared to defy the Absolute Decree left by the previous God Kings of Kindness and Evil.
He had interfered with the mortal world without permission, even while the Divine Realm was in such danger. What exactly was he plotting on Douluo Continent?
And whatever else might be said, Tang San had no leg to stand on here.
When he did it, it was perfectly justified. When anyone else did it, they deserved death. The double standard was absurd.
For the first time, the gods of the Divine Realm saw the true face of Tang San, their enforcer.
After taking that barrage to his face, Tang San burned with rage. The Sea God Trident in his hand trembled, and he wanted nothing more than to tear Lin Yuan apart on the spot.
"You're dead! How dare you... How dare you show the Divine Realm everything happening here!"
It's over. Tang San's heart sank.
His noble, spotless image was gone. He would have to come up with a good excuse and explain himself to them when he returned.
For now, though, his priority was dealing with everything here. The Divine Realm had been swept away by spacetime turbulence. He could not afford to lose Douluo Continent too.
"Today, I will avenge my parents. Even if I break the rules of the Divine Realm, my conscience will be clear."
"Your conscience can go to hell!" Lin Yuan shot back at once, giving Tang San no quarter. "You're a fucking idiot.
"Was I the one who blew up your mother?
"Did those two God-Slaying Cannon shells have a damn thing to do with me?
"And your father? Wasn't he cut to pieces by those people?"
Tang San gritted his teeth.
"They still died because of you!"
"Oh, that? They did."
Lin Yuan admitted it without hesitation, leaving Tang San speechless.
He did not have Tang San's double standards. Even if his avatar had done something, he owned it.
The original had to answer for what his avatar did.
"You—"
"What about me?
"I own what I've done.
"I did it. I forced them to kill your parents.
"I'm just correcting your wording. They all died because of me, but I didn't kill them with my own hands. Sounds like sophistry, doesn't it?
"But it's the truth.
"I don't mind you coming after me for it. But if you're settling scores, shouldn't you settle theirs too?
"Kill them all, Great God King Tang. Be the dutiful son you claim to be and avenge your parents."
"You really are nothing but a mass of negative energy!"
Lin Yuan's few words nearly shattered Tang San's resolve. How could he kill so many people in public?
He only wanted to kill Lin Yuan.
"Today, I will kill you, destroy this evil Dragon God's Ten Trials, and save all of Douluo Continent.
"I came to save the world. I will wipe out a monster like you!"
"Hahahaha! If you say so.
"But I'm afraid you're out of luck."
Lin Yuan's voice abruptly turned cold. "You won't kill anyone today."
"I wanted to show a little honor and avoid using that move. It's too underhanded.
"But against someone like you, I don't see anything wrong with fighting dirty."
Tang San practically had a blade to his throat. Was Lin Yuan supposed to sit back and let him destroy this administrator avatar? He would be a spineless fool if he did.
The moment the words left his mouth, Lin Yuan willed a [system panel] into view before his eyes, invisible to everyone else.
He raised a hand and tapped a dim icon in the corner of the panel, one that had never lit up before.
It showed the outline of a sword scabbard. That was right: the Asura Sword Scabbard.
Why was it connected to the Golden Dragon King?
The answer went back a hundred thousand years.
Back then, the Asura God had cut the Dragon God in two with a single strike, splitting him into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.
The Golden Dragon King inherited most of his body and Divine Power.
The Silver Dragon King inherited his soul—in other words, the Dragon God's wisdom, for what that was worth.
So the Silver Dragon King had inherited practically nothing.
The Golden Dragon King inherited his strength, along with everything else. That included almost all the damage inflicted by the Asura God and virtually the entirety of his Asura Killing Aura and sword energy.
During the hundred thousand years he was imprisoned in the Divine Realm, the Golden Dragon King recovered while slowly dissolving the Asura Baleful Aura and killing aura within him. Over time, that Asura Killing Aura fused with his own Dragon Aura, and a trace of Asura Divine Power formed inside him.
That trace of Asura Divine Power gave the Golden Dragon King a tenuous connection to the Asura God.
But the Asura Divine Power within him was far too weak. Connecting to the Asura God's divine artifact, the Asura Divine Sword, was a pipe dream.
So the connection icons offered neither the Asura Divine Sword nor the Asura God. There was, however, an Asura Sword Scabbard.
And that Asura Sword Scabbard was none other than Xiao Wu: Tang San's wife and the person he loved most.
Honestly, Lin Yuan had not wanted to use this move. It was downright cruel.
But Tang San had pushed him this far, and Lin Yuan had no better way to keep him in check.
If Lin Yuan did nothing, Tang San would destroy this Baby Dragon avatar.
It might even disrupt his plans. Tang San's interference on Douluo Continent ran too deep.
That would slow his Divine Examination, and every drop of blood essence he spent was gone for good. He still needed it for other things.
Besides, the Baby Dragon was not his only avatar. The Divine Examination was too vast for one administrator to oversee.
He could not lose this Baby Dragon avatar here.
Lin Yuan activated the connection. In the next instant, he linked to Xiao Wu, far away in the Divine Realm, before she had any chance to guard against him.
As soon as the connection formed, their souls intertwined.
An indescribable sensation surged through Xiao Wu's soul.
Lin Yuan seized control of her.
He immediately opened a spatial passage to the Divine Realm. Before anyone could react, he captured the helpless Xiao Wu and pulled her into the Examination Space.
He did not stop with Xiao Wu. Lin Yuan immediately connected to the next dragon king beneath the Dragon God Icon, one who was still alive.
Its icon depicted a mountain.
It was the Mountain Dragon King.
The Mountain Dragon King's soul still lived, and his body was the whole of Douluo Continent.
The continent's land had formed from the Mountain Dragon King's body. In that sense, all of Douluo Continent was him.
If Lin Yuan connected to the Mountain Dragon King, he would be connected to all of Douluo Continent.
He had been unable to make the connection from the mysterious space. He had guessed he needed to reach Douluo Continent first, and he was right.
When Lin Yuan tapped the icon, he connected to the Mountain Dragon King—and with him, the entire Douluo Continent.
It was a strange sensation. He felt as though a single thought could take him anywhere on Douluo Continent. This was the authority of a Plane Master.
Tang Hao was dead. With that False Plane Master gone, the authority had returned to Douluo Continent, allowing Lin Yuan to use it.
He would have to explore its other functions over time.
Then he could seize everything Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor had built over the years and erase it all.
