The instant that powerful figure appeared, seated at the highest point of the Divine Realm Central Hub with loneliness and despair in his eyes, a roar thundered through the minds of everyone in the Wenxin Livestream.

The good news was that they had seen information about the Divine Realm again, and had once again seen the ruined Divine Realm Central Hub after Authentic Yuhao's great battle.

What surprised everyone even more was that Tang Wulin, in his golden dragon form, would become the Divine Realm's Second-Generation Destruction God King in the future.

Standing before the Second-Generation Destruction God King Tang Wulin, Tang Wulin stared in shock and astonishment at the man whose fighting strength far surpassed his own, whose aura was powerful, who was enveloped in nine Divine Rings and bore the terrifying power of the Destruction God King.

This man was no stranger to him. Not long ago, Tang Wulin had seen him in the Wenxin Livestream in the Heart-Questioning Space.

At the time, he had been filled with fury, unable to understand-unable to understand why he, the other three God Kings, and so many gods of the Divine Realm had stopped Senior Yuhao from taking revenge.

But when he saw that the future Second-Generation Destruction God King was himself, Tang Wulin was dumbfounded.

"Senior Huo Yuhao will be my brother-in-law in the future?"

"That's not right. Mom and Dad are clearly just ordinary people. How could I possibly have an older sister who became a god, and a God King brother-in-law who ascended to godhood ten thousand years ago??"

"And I'll become the Second-Generation Destruction God King, one of the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm, in the future???"

Under the moonlight, Destruction God King Tang Wulin seemed to sense something and slowly turned around.

But when he saw the appearance of the person standing behind him, he sensed the familiar power of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline coming from him.

The Second-Generation Destruction God King Tang Wulin froze.

The next instant, a golden light completely enveloped them both, directly cutting off the probing of every deity in the Divine Realm.

"Wenxin, a Three Realms Livestream... You're my past self?"

"Nine years old, at the point when the Golden Dragon King Bloodline had just awakened, and Little Sister Na'er had just left... that version of me??"

God King Tang Wulin accepted it very quickly.

Almost instantly, he understood everything, and the image of his brother-in-law leaving the Divine Realm in anger flashed through his mind.

"Could it be... could it be... Right, that's right. It must be."

"No wonder my brother-in-law suddenly erupted after letting go of ten thousand years of hatred. With everything he's experienced in his life, if he met his younger self..."

Having just learned about his brother-in-law Authentic Yuhao's youth from his older sister Tang Wutong, God King Tang Wulin sank into anguish.

He felt some regret, regretting that he had stopped his brother-in-law and joined forces with the other three God Kings to force him away.

He thought of his nephew's resentful gaze, and his older sister's anguished expression.

God King Tang Wulin shook his head and decided that afterward, he would take his older sister and nephew to apologize to his brother-in-law. No matter what, he and his brother-in-law were family. This was all a family matter.

Beyond Heaven

Authentic Yuhao directly flung the Undead World out of his mind, forcibly opening up the Undead World in Beyond Heaven.

A Wenxin Livestream instantly appeared in his mind.

"Why? Why did you stop Senior Yuhao from taking revenge?"

The moment he noticed the Wenxin Livestream's appearance, Authentic Yuhao saw a nine-year-old boy questioning the Second-Generation Destruction God King Tang Wulin.

"Heh... Just as I thought. Just as I thought, I'm not the only one whose heart will be questioned. Faced with your younger selves questioning your hearts, what will you do?"

Inside the Wenxin Livestream

The viewers watched as Tang Wulin immediately began Wenxin with his future self, the Second-Generation Destruction God King Tang Wulin.

"Awesome! Although it's a little weaker than the Child of Destiny Huo Yuhao pulling out a knife right at the start of his Wenxin, watching such an intense Wenxin scene still feels great!"

"What feels great isn't the questioning right off the bat. It's someone from our world forcing one of the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm to answer him right from the start!!"

"Who could ever have imagined that nine-year-old Tang Wulin, whose Soul Power is only rank ten, would become the Destruction God King, one of the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm!!!"

Pain and melancholy flashed through God King Tang Wulin's eyes.

"I don't know. I didn't think that much at the time."

"As a God King, I enforce the laws of the Divine Realm. My duty is to protect the Divine Realm and every god within it."

"I didn't want to either, but they simply wouldn't listen to my explanation."

Watching his nine-year-old self radiate righteousness as he angrily questioned him, God King Tang Wulin found it somewhat amusing.

The suffering he himself would experience afterward flashed through his mind. His smile faded, and when he looked at his younger self, only heartache and helplessness remained in his eyes.

"You should hurry up and Wenxin me. The other matters aren't things you can get involved in right now. Once you get the Wenxin reward, perhaps you'll suffer a little less when the Golden Dragon King Bloodline awakens and its seals come into play in the future."

Tang Wulin froze and scratched his head in embarrassment.

He really couldn't compare to Senior Yuhao. Senior Yuhao had pulled out a knife right at the start and stabbed and punched his future self.

But he was different. He wasn't like Senior Huo Yuhao, who had been so furious upon facing his future self, who had changed his surname many years later, that he wanted to kill him outright and perish together with him.

"Then did I find Little Sister Na'er?"

After hearing Tang Wulin's words, God King Tang Wulin's heart shuddered violently, and his gaze instantly grew complicated.

He had never imagined that his younger self would slash straight into his first sore spot right at the start.

Thinking of Na'er's ultimate fate, God King Tang Wulin clenched his fists as he looked at his younger self.

At this point, I should value family above everything, right? Mom and Dad... my only little sister. He didn't deliberately ask that cutting question. He just wants to find Little Sister Na'er.

Looking at his younger self before him and thinking of Na'er's ultimate fate, God King Tang Wulin decided to hide it.

"Yes. We even lived together forever."

Tang Wulin's face instantly lit up with joy.

"Then where is she? Has she had enough to eat? Has anyone bullied her? Has she... missed me?"

Inside the Wenxin Livestream.

The Dragon King era, Shrek Inner Court.

"O-Older Brother!!!"

Na'er's heart instantly shuddered violently. She crouched down where she stood with pain on her face, clenching her fists as she thought of the wager she had made with her original self.

[Ding... A statement contrary to your true feelings has been detected. Please abide by the Wenxin regulations, or it will be exposed!]

A notification instantly popped up in God King Tang Wulin's mind.

How can this count as a statement contrary to my true feelings? Na'er and Gu Yue are one person. They're...

Well, God King Tang Wulin couldn't get past his own conscience either. He had only learned of it ten thousand years later, and even after learning the truth, he still couldn't get past it.

God King Tang Wulin looked at his younger self with bloodshot eyes.

"Little Sister Na'er is at Shrek Academy. She's fine. She's living very well. She's waiting at Shrek Academy for you to find her. She misses you very much, and she also... loves you... very much!"

Tang Wulin was practically soaring with happiness.

"Will I become a powerful Soul Master in the future? Are you really happy that you became a powerful Soul Master?"

"Stop asking."

"Will I have lots of friends by my side in the future, so I won't be lonely anymore??"

"Stop asking... stop asking!!"

"Will I have started supporting Mom and Dad by then, without having to worry about money anymore?"

"Stop asking, stop asking, stop asking!!!"

Hum~! Hum~!! Hum~!!!

Tang Wulin failed to notice at all that every time he asked a question, God King Tang Wulin's face darkened a little more, and his eyes grew a little redder.

"Then in the future, will I..."

As warnings appeared one after another in his mind, and Tang Wulin in his golden dragon form threw out question after question-

"You really have gone far enough!!!"

What no one had expected was that the one to crack before Tang Wulin in his golden dragon form was his future self, the Second-Generation Destruction God King Tang Wulin!

[Resistance to his younger self's Wenxin has been detected in the participant. The mystery of Little Sister Na'er's death and disappearance will soon be exposed!]
