Forbidden Love

[Previously, you had decided to fatten up Spirit Hall before harvesting it.]

[You left Spirit Hall, and the rise of the West Wind Church followed. Across every country and every region, West Wind Churches sprang up from the ground one after another in a short period of time, becoming the talk of the continent.]

[The two great empires and Spirit Hall were furious but did not dare say a word. No matter which side you faced, your strength was enough to pose a threat capable of bringing about its total destruction. With the three factions keeping their distance from one another as they did now, all three could feel much more at ease.]

[Before absolute power, all schemes and plots would crumble. Now that you had already conquered this side of the Douluo Continent, you prepared to head to the Sun Moon Continent and continue harvesting faith.]

[Although it was somewhat time-consuming and laborious, it was always better to be prepared. What if you were only that tiny bit of faith away from becoming a god? You would discover that you had not been killed by your enemies, yet you had died of anger first.]

[While you left the Douluo Continent to search for the Sun Moon Continent, one event after another that you knew nothing about was taking place.]

[You had no intention of concerning yourself with them. If you wanted to know, you only needed to establish contact with your clone to obtain all known information.]

[In the eighteenth year of the Simulation, after a carpet search, you found a continental landmass that was suspected to belong to the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire of the Douluo Continent.]

[You suppressed these natives with absolute strength. At first, the natives wailed in misery, but after the West Wind Church and the West Wind Dynasty were established, they experienced what it meant to have a living saint among them and what it was like to never go hungry again.]

[The natives of the continent sang your praises and accepted the fact that you ruled over them.]

[An endless stream of faith surged toward you from these natives. Their faith was incomparably pure—the sincere prayers and Votive Power of a group of wretched people who had suffered hunger for who knew how long.]

"Hmm? Wait, Votive Power? What the hell is this? What does it have to do with faith? Damn, can't the narrator give me something good for once? It disappears right at the crucial moment." Su Ming cursed under his breath, but he still committed the words "Votive Power" to memory.

[After unifying the two continents, you initially wanted to search for Dragon Valley. However, after making inquiries, you found no information related to Dragon Valley in this era.]

[You had no intention of staying any longer. After leaving behind several clones, you began searching for the Sun Moon Continent.]

[In the nineteenth year of the Simulation, after finding the Sun Moon Continent, you began a new round of plans for ruling it. During that time, you encountered a group of assassins who claimed to be members of the Holy Spirit Cult. You then slapped the people from the Holy Spirit Cult to death before eliminating the Holy Spirit Cult, temporarily ridding the Sun Moon Continent of Evil Soul Masters.]

[Your great achievements soon allowed you to firmly take the position of emperor of the Sun Moon Continent. Anyone who refused to submit had gone below to meet those Evil Soul Masters.]

[After arriving on the Sun Moon Continent, your instincts were constantly failing you, as if some uncontrollable major event were about to happen. As a result, you had recently begun to resemble a tyrant more and more—though one who was a great talent, a mighty expert, and a great sage. You were still very tolerant toward ministers who obeyed you.]

[The West Wind Church began to establish itself here, and the dynasty was also renamed the West Wind Dynasty.]

[From an angle you knew nothing about, many things happened on the Douluo Continent. The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Luo Sanpao sacrificed himself for Tang San, Yu Xiaogang fell into an unconscious state, and Tang San flew into a rage, becoming mortal enemies with Spirit Hall.]

[After years of contact between Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, Tang San unknowingly fell in love with his teacher, Yu Xiaogang. It was ultimately a forbidden love. He did not dare tell anyone and could only bury his feelings deep in his heart.]

[But Yu Xiaogang loved Tang San as well. Although he had three children, he still loved him.]

[Even though they were master and disciple, causing them to endure many scornful looks at first, one day the two of them secretly tasted the forbidden fruit, and there was no turning back.]

[During this time, seeing that you had not returned for so long, Dugu Bo perhaps thought that you had been hurt by Dugu Yan and did not want to return to this place of heartbreak. He left behind a letter for Dugu Yan before embarking on a journey to find you.]

"Ha! That old fellow is pretty loyal, huh? He's still thinking about me after all these years. If I don't help you become a god, then I, Su Wu, would be letting you down." Su Ming sighed before getting himself some food to fill his stomach.

[After learning that Dugu Bo had left, Dugu Yan did not feel much of anything. Over the years, she had devoted herself wholeheartedly to love and had already cast familial affection aside.]

[The contents of Dugu Bo's letter roughly said that Dugu Yan had grown up, and that once she did certain things, she had to take responsibility for them herself. He was old and could not protect Dugu Yan for the rest of her life. She would have to walk the road ahead on her own.]

[At first, Dugu Bo's departure did not affect Dugu Yan's life at all. She had money, beauty, friends, and a lover. It seemed that she lacked nothing in this life.]

[But Dugu Yan soon began to regret it. After learning that Dugu Bo had left and did not intend to return, Yu Tianheng's attitude toward her changed. He gradually distanced himself from Dugu Yan until he shifted his target to her best friend, Ye Lingling.]

[Compared with Dugu Yan, who could only serve as a childbearing tool, Yu Tianheng still wanted Ye Lingling more. At least Ye Lingling had the Nine Heart Begonia Family behind her. Aside from some money, Dugu Yan no longer had Dugu Bo protecting her, and she was inferior to Ye Lingling in every respect.]

[At first, Dugu Yan thought Yu Tianheng was joking with her. But when she realized he was serious, she fell apart. She questioned Yu Tianheng, but he merely drove her away as if she were some piece of trash.]

[In a short period of time, Dugu Yan lost her lover, friend, and romantic partner. The blow hit her hard. Perhaps her conscience had awakened, and she recalled you. It seemed that in her past life, there had been someone who had treated her extremely well. But that person was already gone, and she had no idea where he had gone.]

[At this time, you were still busy with your great undertaking of becoming a god and knew nothing about what had happened on the Douluo Continent.]

[In the twentieth year of the Simulation, after dealing with matters on the Sun Moon Continent, you finally decided to return to the Douluo Continent. Before that, however, you killed the Evil Emperor and the Blue Silver Emperor on the Sun Moon Continent, obtaining two Ferocious Beast Soul Bones.]

[Killing them was simple. You merely raised your hand and clenched your fist, and the wind tore them apart from the inside out.]

[Your control over the wind had already reached a terrifying level. Even the airflow inside a living creature would be judged to be wind under your control.]

[The Evil Emperor provided an External Soul Bone—the Eye Bone. It was not a left-eye or right-eye bone in the traditional sense, but a single eye that, after being absorbed, was embedded in your forehead.]

[As for the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone, you did not absorb it. You packed up the Blue Silver Emperor's corpse from the Sun Moon Continent and took it away, planning to bring it back as fertilizer for Ah Yin.]

[Meanwhile, your Foundation steadily rose to 338%. Every increase in your Foundation represented a tremendous improvement in your combat power.]
