Hearing his younger self's words, God King Tang Wulin broke down completely, crouching on the ground and beginning to sob quietly.

Inside the Heart-Questioning Space

Huo Yuhao watched Tang Wulin's Wenxin scenes.

"You really can't compare one person's life to another's, but... but I have a mother who loves me too."

"He's also a God King in the future. He should be able to protect his little sister properly, right?"

The warm scenes from Tang Wulin's childhood, his experience of finding Little Sister Na'er.

Huo Yuhao's eyes held nothing but envy. Those were scenes he could only dream of, but never have, as a child.

His father and mother both loved him very, very much, and Tang Wulin also had a little sister, a little sister who liked her very much.

Born in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and maliciously targeted from birth, Huo Yuhao had known a mother's love, but had no father, no friends, and no little sister. When had he ever experienced anything like this? His eyes held only deep envy.

[You brought Na'er home. Your father and mother praised you for being very brave and washed Little Sister Na'er. You discovered that she was so fair, so pretty, and so cute, and swore you would protect Na'er well.]

[Your father and mother prepared a whole tableful of dishes for you both.]

[You discovered that your little sister could eat as much as you, which made you even happier, because you were finally no longer the only big eater in the family.]

[But your father and mother became deeply worried about the family's savings, because the two of you could eat far too much.]

[You spent a happy period together. With the family's money running low, and the need for a Soul Spirit in the future, you had no choice but to take up forging to earn money.]

[Your father and mother felt terribly sorry for you, and even Little Sister Na'er was very upset when she saw the injuries on your hands.]

["It's all right, it's all right. I can earn money now! In the future, I'll support Mom and Dad so they won't have to work, and I'll buy Na'er lots and lots of delicious food!"]

[You spent three carefree years. Na'er often fed you, but in the stillness of the night, she would often sink deep into thought as she watched you.]

[At nine, you finally saved enough money to buy a Soul Spirit, only to draw a defective Soul Spirit and a Ten-Year Soul Ring. Your Golden Dragon King Bloodline erupted, and Little Sister Na'er left. That day, you felt only that the sky had collapsed and the whole world had gone dark.]

[Your path as a Soul Master was shrouded in uncertainty, the eruption and awakening of your bloodline threatened your life, and your little sister who loved you disappeared. You searched Aolai City like a madman for your little sister Na'er, among the crowds, in the places you and your little sister often visited, by the sea... but there was still no sign of her.]

[Only memories of her remained in your mind, yet she had disappeared, as though she had never appeared at all!]

["If Na'er leaves one day, will you miss Na'er, Older Brother?"]

["Na'er! You asked whether I would miss you if you left me one day."]

["Only now do I know. Without you here, I feel as if I've lost the whole world!"]

For the nine-year-old Tang Wulin, his father, mother, and Na'er were the most important people in his life. There was no Gu Yue, no especially close friend he could confide in, because Tang Wulin only met them after he turned ten.

It was easy to imagine how deeply Na'er's departure hurt Tang Wulin now.

Seeing this, the young Tang Wulin felt as though a knife were twisting in his heart.

"I wonder if Little Sister Na'er has been eating properly. She eats as much as I do. It must feel awful if she can't get enough to eat."

"Has anyone been bullying her? She's so easy to bully. If someone bullied her, she'd surely keep quiet about it..."

"Wah... Little Sister Na'er, where are you? I miss you."

Shrek Inner Court

Na'er's shoulders kept trembling, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Idiot, idiot. Older Brother is such a big idiot."

The scenes that followed flashed by rapidly.

[Years later, you entered the Shrek Outer Court. Here, you met your little sister once again...]

[At Sea God's Fate... you rejected Na'er's confession. After that, Na'er disappeared from your world forever.]

At the very end, before even a scene was shown, the young Tang Wulin's pupils abruptly contracted.

"What do you mean, Na'er disappeared forever?"

Whoosh!

The young Tang Wulin whipped his head around to look at God King Tang Wulin.

"Speak!!"

"Say something!!!"

God King Tang Wulin's entire body suddenly shuddered violently.

Opening his mouth, God King Tang Wulin wanted to explain something.

"You lied to me. Everything you said was a lie!"

"You said Little Sister Na'er lived together with your future self forever!!"

"If you hadn't rejected Na'er, she wouldn't have disappeared forever! I hate you! I'll never forgive you!!!"

Whoosh!!!

God King Tang Wulin abruptly raised his head.

"Na'er hasn't disappeared. Believe me, she really hasn't disappeared!"

"She only fused with your future wife, Gu Yue, who's also my current wife."

"I didn't reject her. In the end, I lived together with Gu Yuena too."

Boom!!!

The young Tang Wulin's pupils trembled. First, confusion flashed through his eyes, bewilderment over his future wife, before finally turning into fury at the word "fused."

The young Tang Wulin strode forward two steps and grabbed God King Tang Wulin by the collar.

"Tell me. You tell me, what do you mean by fused?"

"What do you mean, she hasn't disappeared??"

"Na'er is Na'er, not anyone else! My future wife Gu Yue is Gu Yue! Don't stand here running your mouth and muddying the waters!!!"

The flames of fury burned in Tang Wulin's eyes. The next instant, the quiet Wenxin exposé showed another scene.

In the exposé, Na'er appeared alongside another person, and then Na'er fused and disappeared completely, from her body to her soul.

The young Tang Wulin's heart clenched violently in an instant, and a heart-rending pain tore through him.

His blood surged backward. Pfft!!!

He abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"And you tell me Na'er fused!"

"Fused! What a fine word, fused!!"

"From her body to her soul... she disappeared completely!!!"

A fist wrapped in golden dragon blood energy slammed into God King Tang Wulin's face.

"You bastard!"

"If you hadn't rejected Na'er, Little Sister Na'er wouldn't have disappeared completely!!"

"Na'er is Na'er, and Gu Yue is Gu Yue! I won't listen! I don't want to hear your twisted excuses!!!"

God King Tang Wulin did not resist. He simply bore his younger self's fury in silence.

Perhaps, at this moment... he also hated himself, hated that he had failed to protect Little Sister Na'er.

"I don't know any Gu Yue! I only want my Na'er! I only want my little sister!"

The young Tang Wulin sank painfully to his knees on the ground, tears falling uncontrollably.

Inside the Wenxin Livestream, everyone felt as though a massive stone were pressing on their hearts, making it hard to breathe.

An oppressive weight settled over everyone's hearts.

"The young Tang Wulin is right. Na'er is Na'er, and Gu Yue is Gu Yue. They're clearly two people. What do you mean they're one person?"

"From her body to her soul, everything disappeared, and you, God King Tang Wulin, say you lived together with Little Sister Na'er forever??"

"I understand the young Tang Wulin. She was clearly a cute little sister who loved him and shared his interests. Why did she have to fuse? The young Tang Wulin only wants Na'er. I don't know about the other periods of his life, nor do I know what difficulties God King Tang Wulin faced or why he accepted everything that happened afterward. Right now, all I see is an Older Brother who only wants to protect his little sister."
