Son of a God King? Even Bystanders Fell Silent!

The world of Douluo Dalu III.

Aboard the ship.

The God King Tang within Tang Wulin was dumbfounded.

He had never expected Gu Yuena to see through his existence.

For now, all he could do was play dead.

Because the Sky Curtain had appeared again.

When the people of Shrek saw Tang Wulin on the list, they gathered around him in concern.

Cai Yue'er looked at Gu Yuena with deep wariness.

But she knew Gu Yuena's current strength was far beyond anything she could contend with.

Whether they lived or died rested entirely on Gu Yuena's whim.

[Tang Wulin was the son of God King Tang San.]

[He should have been the most dazzling divine child in the Divine Realm, but disaster struck as soon as he was born.]

[Before Tang San killed the Golden Dragon King, the dragon drove his own Divine Core into the newborn's body, hoping to burst the infant apart.]

[To save his life, Tang San placed eighteen seals within him and sent him to Douluo Continent.]

[Fortunately, Tang Ziran and his wife found him and raised him in Eastsea City, giving him a warm home.]

[Tang Wulin's family was poor throughout his childhood, but he had always been happy.]

[His dream was to become a powerful Soul Master!]

[Fate played a cruel trick on him. At six, he awakened the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with only level-three Innate Soul Power.]

[From then on, the bright, cheerful little boy began to taste life's bitterness.]

[After the power of his Golden Dragon King Bloodline awakened, his appetite also grew by the day.]

[He also found Na'er, the Silver Dragon King who had lost her memory, and took her in as his little sister.]

[Feeding two bottomless stomachs strained the family's finances even further, and Lang Yue had to go out and find work.]

[To afford a Soul Spirit when he reached level ten, Tang Wulin began learning Blacksmithing, hammering metal to help support the family.]

[At nine, he finally raised his Soul Power to level ten.]

[He took the Federation Credits he had saved for three years to buy a Soul Spirit, only to learn he could afford nothing but a random draw. In the end, he drew a defective ten-year little grass snake.]

[His beloved adoptive parents and little sister left one after another.]

[But at Eastsea Academy, Tang Wulin met Gu Yue, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and a whole group of friends.]

[He also met Wu Changkong, the teacher he respected most.]

[At last, everything seemed to be on track.]

The world of Douluo Dalu III.

"A God King's son?"

The Shrek Seven Devils stared at Tang Wulin, dumbstruck.

Cai Yue'er, Wu Changkong, and Long Bing were stunned too.

Xie Xie said:

"Captain, you really kept that buried deep!"

"Who would've thought you were a second-generation god?"

Some of the Shrek Seven Devils knew little about Tang Wulin's past.

Yuanen, for instance, could not help feeling sorry for him after seeing how his life had begun.

She had never imagined Tang Wulin had gone through all that.

Tang Wulin was stunned too.

Watching the Sky Curtain had taught him something about God King Tang.

He could not agree with many of the God King's actions.

Controlling his daughter Wang Dong and treating Huo Yuhao like a puppet on strings, for example...

What he had never imagined was that he himself was God King Tang's son.

All the clues came together in his mind.

So my surname Tang didn't come from Tang Ziran after all.

Maybe entering Shrek Academy and joining the Tang Sect weren't my choices at all. Maybe an unseen hand was controlling everything.

Even this Golden Dragon King Bloodline!

How could someone born to an ordinary family have such a terrifying bloodline for no reason?

Now he had his answer.

He asked inwardly:

"Old Tang, so you're God King Tang?"

"Gu Yue called out to you because she knew who you were too, didn't she?"

"Wulin, I am your biological father, God King Tang San."

God King Tang realized he could no longer hide it and admitted the truth.

He felt profoundly awkward.

He had not known the Sky Curtain would expose all the rotten things he had done and ruin Tang Wulin's opinion of him.

Whether Tang Wulin would still follow the plan he had laid out over ten thousand years was now anyone's guess.

Tang Wulin's expression was complicated.

Only after confirming it did he tell Xie Xie:

"I only found out today myself."

The Shrek Seven Devils and the others froze at the look on Tang Wulin's face.

But when they thought of God King Tang's methods, it all seemed only natural.

Perhaps, to God King Tang, Wulin was merely a chess piece he held close.

Gu Yue said nothing more.

The person she liked was Tang Wulin. His father had nothing to do with it.

The world of Douluo I.

Sunset Forest.

Tang San had finally broken through the Poison Formation and was heading toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The sight of the Sky Curtain left him dumbfounded.

He was still so young, yet the Sky Curtain had already revealed two of his children.

"So Tang Wulin is my child?"

Xiao Wu fell even quieter.

Third Brother now had another child. But whose child was he?

At least this child had shown no Martial Soul besides Blue Silver Grass.

She might still have a chance.

Tang Hao, walking at the front, was surprised as well.

He had never expected to have a grandson even after becoming the Plane Master.

Yu Xiaogang saw that his grand-disciple had made the list too.

He thought:

This ranking is already down to second place. Only one spot remains.

That last spot might be mine.

Yu Xiaogang's imagination ran wild.

After all, the Sky Curtain had barely shown him from beginning to end.

He, Yu Xiaogang, had taught a God King and six gods. How could he not be featured?

The Sky Curtain must have saved the most important part for me.

Heaven Dou City.

When Wang Dong saw the Sky Curtain announce that Tang Wulin was God King Tang's son, her expression grew conflicted.

"So I have a little brother too?"

Huo Yuhao's expression turned strange as well.

If he ended up with Wang Dong, wouldn't that make him Tang Wulin's brother-in-law?

Yet his future brother-in-law had only managed to draw a defective ten-year Soul Spirit from the Spirit Pagoda he had founded.

He could not help grumbling inwardly. How had the Spirit Pagoda become so useless?

Phainon, the conscientious boss, offered his employee some comfort:

"Look on the bright side. It seems our God King Tang does believe in treating boys and girls equally."

"He arranged things for you as a girl, and he arranged things for Tang Wulin as a boy."

"He had everything planned out for both of you."

Wang Dong was speechless.

If you don't know how to comfort someone, don't try!

Who wants that kind of equality?

Treating both children like tools—is that what equal treatment means?

She thought to herself:

Once I've paid off my debt, I'm quitting and leaving that unscrupulous boss Phainon behind.

[At twelve, Tang Wulin entered Monster-Studded Shrek Academy. He became class monitor and the Blacksmithing representative, and began to shine.]

[During his final exams, Evil Soul Masters attacked the Soul Guidance Train he was riding. He saved every passenger but was nearly beaten to death himself.]

[From then on, something went wrong every time he rode a Soul Guidance Train, earning him the name Soul Guidance Train Killer.]

[Before long, he reunited with his little sister Na'er, who had lost her memory.]

[But soon afterward, he had to leave Shrek Academy for an exchange tournament in the Star Luo Empire.]

[Tang Wulin was like a cog. Under the pressure of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, he had no choice but to keep turning every moment!]

[In the Star Luo Empire, Long Yue, whose Martial Soul was the Mountain Dragon King, gravely wounded Tang Wulin despite his Golden Dragon King Bloodline.]

[He then entered Dragon Valley and spent three years alone gathering dragon remains in a deathly silent burial ground.]

[People called it the Thousand-Day Dragon Burial.]

[After his long disappearance, he returned to Shrek and finally found the courage to confess his feelings to Gu Yue at the Sea God's Fate gathering. They became a couple.]

[But the very next day, Gu Yue left because of her identity and duty as the Soul Beast Co-Ruler.]

[His little sister Na'er vanished without a word.]

[Tang Wulin could not understand why he kept losing the people he loved.]

[After Gu Yue left, Tang Wulin became captain of the Shrek Seven Devils.]

[He went with the other six to Devil Island for Military Training.]

[Those two years were hell on earth.]

[When he returned to the mainland after training, Shrek Academy, where he had grown up, had been blown to rubble.]

[His grandmaster and the others had all died in battle, and Gu Yue had lost her memory protecting him.]

As the scenes played out, everyone fell silent.

How was this the life of a God King's son?

He was a walking disaster, plain and simple!

Why did it feel as though he had been worked like a beast of burden without a moment's rest?
