A furious roar instantly resounded throughout the Divine Realm.

The sky instantly darkened. Purple divine lightning flashed incessantly. God King Tang Wulin's eyes were blood-red, his aura chaotic, and his power of destruction affected the entire Divine Realm.

Within the Divine Realm.

Having just endured Authentic Yuhao wreaking havoc, the Divine Realm Central Hub was still in chaos.

Life God King Gu Yuena was treating all the injured deities.

Kindness and Evil were maintaining order in the Divine Realm Central Hub.

When the Divine Realm Central Hub fell into darkness, the Destruction God King's powerful lightning of destruction blazed, and his distinctive aura of destruction shrouded the entire Divine Realm. Every god paled.

"Th-this... his divine seat is shaking, and his power of destruction is erupting... what on earth happened?"

"Where is Destruction God King Tang Wulin??"

"This is bad! It's exactly what happened to the Emotion God King! His emotional power erupted at the very beginning too, and then his divine seat darkened and his divine power became tainted!!!"

They panicked. Sensing God King Tang Wulin's aura erupt and the Destruction God King's divine seat tremble, all the gods of the Divine Realm turned pale.

"Damn it, what on earth is going on? Why does the Divine Realm suffer one calamity after another!"

"That brat Destruction isn't going to start going mad like the Emotion God King too, is he??"

"Life, hurry! Find Destruction, quickly! The Divine Realm can't withstand another divine war now. With Emotion gone, if Destruction goes berserk too, the entire Divine Realm will..."

The two God Kings, Kindness and Evil, instantly paled as they recalled Authentic Yuhao's terrifying combat strength.

Destruction was now the strongest in the Divine Realm. If he too stirred up a divine war, how could the Divine Realm, already battered by wind and rain, resist? How could it withstand his wrath?

Life God King Gu Yuena set aside what she was doing and immediately began searching along Destruction's distinctive aura.

But very soon, Life God King Gu Yuena discovered to her horror that he was nowhere to be found. Neither inside the Divine Realm Central Hub nor outside the Divine Realm could she sense God King Tang Wulin's aura.

"What... what on earth happened? First Emotion, then Wulin. Must this Divine Realm be destroyed?"

Inside the Wenxin Livestream.

Seeing God King Tang Wulin break down before his younger self did, everyone grew restless.

"What does this mean? The exposure appeared straight away."

"I remember that during Huo Yuhao's Wenxin, Huo Yuhao only triggered an immediate exposure because he chose to lie."

"Could God King Tang Wulin have chosen to conceal something? What's there to hide? Wait... could it be that God King Tang Wulin didn't accomplish a single one of those things young Tang Wulin asked about and wanted to know?"

Seeing God King Tang Wulin break down before Tang Wulin in his golden dragon form, everyone across the Three Realms in the Wenxin Livestream grew restless.

One could say that Huo Yuhao's failure to fulfill his youthful vows was entirely a matter of his own revenge. He had forgotten his revenge and betrayed his younger self. After ascending to the Divine Realm, he had then been tormented and oppressed by other gods, forced to endure in silence.

But what about Tang Wulin?

Never mind failing to protect his friends-had he failed to protect even his little sister and his parents??

Within Wenxin.

Young Tang Wulin's expression instantly stiffened as he looked at God King Tang Wulin's red eyes, chaotic aura, and anguished face.

"What does this mean?"

"What do you mean??"

"What exactly do you mean???"

Young Tang Wulin swiftly stepped forward and seized God King Tang Wulin's shoulders, his eyes wide as he stared at the Wenxin Exposure that was about to appear.

This generally only happened when the person undergoing Wenxin concealed something, deliberately left something unsaid, or twisted black into white.

Seized and questioned by his younger self, God King Tang Wulin began shaking his head, shaking it frantically.

"You lied to me! You lied!!!"

Young Tang Wulin's pupils trembled. He did not know what God King Tang Wulin had concealed.

"Did I fail to keep any of my friends, and end up all alone after everything?"

"Or did I never find my little sister, and she was completely..."

"Or did something happen to Mom and Dad? But aren't you a God King??"

"Or did you fail to accomplish... or resolve, or even find a single thing I asked about!!!"

Young Tang Wulin's eyes were red. The more he spoke, the more agitated and furious he became, his eyes gradually turning blood-red as both hands gripped God King Tang Wulin's shoulders tightly.

The blood within his body boiled, and his golden dragon power manifested. The Golden Dragon King's tremendous strength even wrinkled the God King's divine robes. His right hand faintly took the form of a dragon claw, clutching God King Tang Wulin's flesh and bone in a death grip.

"Enough, enough! I told you to stop asking!"

Rumble!!!

Just then, the Wenxin Exposure suddenly appeared.

[You were born in the Dragon King Era. Your mother and father raised you well from an early age, and you grew up step by step in an environment filled with love.]

Young Tang Wulin and God King Tang Wulin both turned toward the Wenxin Exposure footage nearby.

Seeing his own exposure appear, young Tang Wulin let out a heavy sigh and released God King Tang Wulin's shoulders.

"Since you won't tell me, I'll watch the exposure and see what exactly happened!"

"Whether I found Little Sister Na'er, how all my friends fared, and how things ended for Mom and Dad!!"

In the Wenxin footage, every scene before the age of six was warm and loving.

[Your mother and father treated you very well, giving you almost everything they could, even though you ate so much that you were called a bottomless pit.] [At six, your father took you into the awakening chamber, brimming with anticipation. Looking at the statue of Spirit Ice Douluo and the account of his life inside, you made your first childhood wish.] ["I want to become a powerful Soul Master just like Lord Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao!"]

In an instant, the scenes took a sharp turn for the worse. Within the Wenxin Exposure, the footage grew dim and gloomy, reflecting the low spirits of the person undergoing Wenxin.

["Your martial soul is only the most common Blue Silver Grass, and your soul power is only rank three..."] [Your father comforted you. "It's all right, Wulin. Don't cry. Lord Sea God Tang San of the First Generation Shrek Seven Monsters had a Blue Silver Grass martial soul too."] [You wiped away your tears. Not wanting to upset your mother and father, you forced a bitter smile, though you knew your father was lying. Lord Sea God of the First Generation Shrek Seven Monsters clearly had twin martial souls.] [For some reason, after awakening your martial soul, you discovered that you could eat even more.] [Your mother and father were not disappointed in you because of your awakened martial soul's poor quality or your low innate soul power talent. They loved you even more and did not mention it in front of you. They truly loved you very, very much.]

Seeing this, tears silently slipped from the corners of God King Tang Wulin's eyes. He never dared meet his younger self's gaze, because of his guilt, because he was afraid.

[You entered Red Mountain Academy. Because you ate so much, you became an outcast. They all mocked you, and you made no friends.]
[One day after school, as you walked along your usual path home, you came across a three-year-old girl being bullied by two creepy men.] [You released your martial soul and drove the creepy men back.] ["Are you alone? Are you a beggar? Would you like to come home with me?"] ["My name is Na'er. B-big brother!"]

Watching the exposure of his own life and seeing the innocent, inexperienced Little Sister Na'er, who had nearly been bullied by those creepy men, young Tang Wulin clenched his fists.

"If, if... Na'er disappears, and you, as her brother, do nothing..."

Drip! Drip!! Drip!!!

Tears kept streaming from the corners of Tang Wulin's eyes.

"I won't. I won't forgive you. I will never... forgive you!!!"
