Ascension

After Tang San absorbed the Soul Bone and Soul Ring, Ming's Fatherly Headpat pushed him straight through to Limit Douluo.

Once Tang San reached Limit Douluo, you had him hurry to Sea God Island with the Shrek Seven Devils and race through the Sea God's Nine Trials.

Carrying the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Tang San followed your instructions to Sea God Island and received the Sea God's Nine Trials.

In the twenty-first year of the simulation, Bibi Dong was nearly driven mad by your clone's relentless torment. She became a god.

Tang San raced through the Sea God's Nine Trials, which also happened to clear the Asura Nine Trials for him.

Tang San did not revive Ah Yin and the others as soon as he inherited the Sea God Godhood. Following your instructions, he waited. They could be revived after he reached the Divine Realm.

Tang San returned to Douluo Continent with the fully revived Xiao Wu, leaving the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils to grow stronger through the remaining trials.

Su Yiner turned six. You helped her awaken her Martial Soul, and like you, she was a spirit—a remarkably pure Wood Spirit.

The moment Su Yiner awakened, her human body began to change. Life energy formed a new body for her.

Life energy, a branch of her Wood Spirit abilities, gave Su Yiner an energy-like form strikingly similar to yours.

In the twenty-second year of the simulation, the Spirit Hall Empire was founded and declared war on the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

Tang San met up with you. You left everything that followed to him and returned to the rear to keep caring for Su Yiner.

Su Yiner cultivated at the same pace as you and needed an enormous amount of energy. Even though she had started with better conditions than you—Innate Full Soul Power—she still could not finish condensing her First Soul Ring after a year.

You were in no hurry. Nearly ten years had passed, and you were only at level twenty-eight. Your cultivation had been no faster than Su Yiner's.

Little by little, your bad habits rubbed off on Su Yiner. She copied you, lying on a lounge chair in the courtyard to bask in the sun every day.

You gave Su Yiner a smack and told her to cultivate properly. Otherwise, how was her weakling father supposed to ride her coattails?

Su Yiner felt terribly wronged, but bloodline hierarchy was what it was. You were her father, and that naturally put you above her.

During that time, you occasionally went to beat up Liu Erlong so that masochist could enjoy herself.

Gradually, you noticed the way Liu Erlong looked at you had changed. It resembled the look Snow Empress and the others gave you when they wanted to have their way with you.

You kicked Liu Erlong away. You did not like older women, especially one who looked as old as she did.

Ah Yin and Ice Empress, those two little weakling girls, were much more to your taste. Snow Empress could just about pass as an after-dinner treat.

You got struck by lightning. Thunder suddenly boomed overhead, and lightning hit you five times in a row. You were not actually hurt, but your body was charred, your hair stood on end, and black smoke poured from your mouth.

Douluo Star's planetary will, having just discovered that Su Yiner had been bullied: You're just my goddaughter's father, yet you dare bully her? You deserve punishment. I'll zap you to death!

In the twenty-third year of the simulation, Qian Renxue became a god. She joined forces with Bibi Dong and drove Tang San back step by step. Then, just as he was about to die, Tang San suddenly erupted with power and switched to the Asura God, while Xiao Wu took over as Sea God.

Spirit Hall suffered a crushing defeat. Tang San wiped out its leadership, then took its lower and middle ranks under his command.

After Spirit Hall fell, Tang San divided its former territory into bases for Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.

Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and the rest of Spirit Hall's leadership died.

In the twenty-fourth year of the simulation, Tang San finished dealing with the aftermath and found Tang Hao. Through divine means, he learned the truth of what had happened back then from him.

Tang San gave Tang Hao a swift death. Thanks to your guidance, Tang San might still have been somewhat selfish, but he could fairly be called a decent young man.

Tang San ascended with you, Su Yiner, and Xiao Wu in tow. After removing the Soul Rings belonging to Ah Yin, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress, he revived them.

With Immortal Spirit Qi, Tang San soon stabilized the injuries he had suffered from removing the Soul Rings.

The moment you arrived in the Divine Realm, the Life God King was waiting to intercept you. She carried off your daughter.

After going to live with the Life God King, Su Yiner discovered just how wonderful life could be.

Su Yiner forgot all about her father. You felt like a clown.

Tang San set aside a place in the Divine Realm for you, Ah Yin, and the others to live.

Tang San revived Da Ming and Er Ming. The two fawning beasts were sent your way, but you did not like them, so you kicked them into the Divine Beast Forest.

In the twenty-fifth year of the simulation, you discovered that one day in the Divine Realm equaled one year on Douluo Star. You were delighted, but it also raised a very serious question.

When the Dragon God's war ended, had the time recorded been measured in the Divine Realm or in the outside world?

If the ten thousand years recorded in the Divine Realm were converted using that difference in time, the Silver Dragon King would have spent more than a million years on Douluo Star.

You thought it over, then gave up. You had already ascended to the Divine Realm; there was no need to worry about the Silver Dragon King's circumstances anymore. Cultivating with Immortal Spirit Qi, you finally reached something close to a normal cultivation speed.

In the twenty-sixth year of the simulation, the Life God King had come to raise Su Yiner as her own daughter in the Forest of Life.

Su Yiner was pleased with the arrangement. After so many years of hardship, things were finally looking up.

Before anyone realized it, Su Yiner had condensed her First Soul Ring using the energy of the Forest of Life. Like you, she had an empty Soul Skill slot—she had a Soul Ring but no Soul Skill. She had also condensed her first Soul Core, a Wood Soul Core.

"Little Yiner, you're amazing! Let your godmother hold you." The Life God King held tiny Su Yiner and could not bear to put her down. Su Yiner had not inherited your tendency to grow up quickly. Instead, she had inherited Ah Yin's slow growth.

At nine years old, Su Yiner had only just passed one meter ten in height. She was even shorter than Ah Yin had been at that age.

"Godmother, could you stop petting me? I'm not a kitty." Su Yiner blinked her watery emerald eyes and looked so pitiful that she struck Xiao Lu straight in the heart.

"Ah! Little Yiner, you're too adorable! I love you even more now." The Life God King nuzzled Su Yiner again and again.

You and the Destruction God King squatted in some out-of-the-way corner, staring at each other. With a stern face, you asked, "When are you giving my daughter back?"

"Little Yiner wants to stay with us. Why should we give her back?" the Destruction God King replied as though it were the most obvious thing in the world.
