Using His Own Son as Bait-Tang Wulin Was Actually My Son?

The title belonging to the young Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Bearing began to slowly transform.

[Dragon God Bearing Tang Wulin!]

Tang Wulin slowly slipped into unconsciousness. A golden dragon mark between his brows began flashing wildly, altering his flesh at its very foundation and causing his bloodline to transform.

He slowly vanished before God King Tang Wulin. Thinking of what the boy had said not long ago and the loathing in his eyes, he knew the boy truly hated him to the bone.

"Wulin!!!"

God King Tang Wulin knelt on the ground in regret. He was kneeling before his younger self, kneeling before everyone he had wronged. But it was useless. The young Tang Wulin could not see it, nor did he want to.

The people he had wronged could not see it either.

"Really, really, I'm really not what you imagine."

"Why are you only willing to see the side you've seen, to the point that you won't even watch the heart-questioning through to the end?"

"If I could choose, if I had a choice, really, really, I wouldn't want this either."

"Why... why... why did things turn out like this???"

God King Tang Wulin roared in despair.

When exactly had it begun?

Was it joining Shrek, the beginning of the tragedy at Sea God's Fate, their opposing positions, or finally taking Gu Yuena with him to seal themselves away in the Far North for ten thousand years?

Was it losing the Golden Dragon Power, losing the title of Dragon Emperor, or...?

Inside the Wenxin Livestream

Everyone in the Three Realms erupted the instant they heard God King Tang Wulin's words.

"Could it be, could it be... he had unavoidable hardships too, just like Huo Yuhao?"

"What does that mean? Was he also being oppressed, swallowing humiliation and bearing a heavy burden??"

[Dragon God Bearing Tang Wulin has successfully completed his heart-questioning and found his own path.]

[God King Tang Wulin will continue his heart-questioning.]

[Wenxin Exposure: the mystery of his origins, a God King's promise!]

The next instant, the Wenxin Exposure footage flickered slightly.

[You were born in the Divine Realm Central Hub. You were originally the son of a God King...]

When that sentence appeared in the Wenxin Livestream and the footage was revealed, the Three Realms instantly erupted.

"What? Holy son of a God King! Holy 'my God King father'!"

"The son of a God King, born right in the Divine Realm Central Hub!!"

"Then how did he have such a miserable childhood???"

When Tang Wulin's origins were revealed, no one could sit still.

[You could have had everything from birth, but you were born amid disaster. The Golden Dragon King, at the pinnacle of God Kings, attacked the Divine Realm. Your God King father joined forces with two other God Kings and severely wounded him.]

[A conspiracy has been detected here... two revelations will be issued this time. Judge for yourselves which is true and which is false. Your God King father may be subjected to heart-questioning.]

[One: your God King father was helpless against the Golden Dragon King's terrifying power and could not stop him at all.]

[Two: your God King father coveted the Golden Dragon King's power and accidentally revealed your location, using you to bait the waters. Before dying, the Golden Dragon King wanted to detonate his Divine Core, but your God King father just so happened to try to stop him, knocking it into your body. He wanted to use the Golden Dragon King's power to counter and control the Golden Dragon King's Divine Core. Once it stabilized, he coincidentally sealed it instead of removing it...]

[The Golden Dragon King poured all his power, bloodline, Divine Core, and even his soul into your body. You became a time bomb that could blow up the Divine Realm at any moment. Your God King father split off a Divine Soul and abandoned you on the Douluo Continent... then left with the Divine Realm. You were utterly reduced to an abandoned child of the mortal world.]

Boom~!!!

As Tang Wulin watched the Wenxin Exposure and the conspiracy Wenxin described, thunderous booms instantly rang through his mind, and his pupils contracted sharply.

"What!"

"All my disasters came from my God King father!!"

"No, it's fake, it's fake! All of this is fake!!!"

When Wenxin exposed the conspiracy, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Good news: your father is a God King. Bad news: you have a God King father!"

"Bravo, bravo, bravo! One coincidence is a coincidence, but if it's a coincidence every single time, that means it's a conspiracy!!"

"Using your son to bait the waters-fucking amazing! You were afraid he'd blow up the Divine Realm, so you dumped him on the Douluo Continent!! Aren't we afraid of being blown up too???"

They erupted. When Wenxin revealed Tang Wulin's origins and everything his God King father had done, everyone utterly erupted.

"Using his own son to bait the waters, scheming over this and that, fathering him but not raising him... he's unfit to be a father. This man deserves to die. He must be killed!!!"

Inside the Heart-Questioning Space, disgust appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. As though forced to remember something, killing intent gradually emerged in his eyes.

"Beast! Tang Wulin's God King father schemed so far ahead that he even plotted against his own son. I, Tang San, have no respect for such a man!"

Tang San clenched his fists. Though he said that aloud, inwardly he was exclaiming over how incredible Tang Wulin's biological father was, having so easily schemed his way into obtaining a fighting force at the God King level.

But he thought highly of Tang Wulin, so he had to voice his support for him.

As for Tang Wulin's biological father, the Wenxin Exposure had not shown his face, only his back.

Inside the Wenxin Livestream, everyone had only one attitude toward Tang Wulin's father: condemnation in speech and writing.

Inside the Heart-Questioning Space, the young Tang Wulin watched the Wenxin Livestream in his mind in anguish, his brows tightly furrowed.

[A promise from a God King:]

["Aaargh~!!"]

[That year, you finally managed to rescue your dad and mom, but they suffered terribly from a curse and died gruesome deaths. Just as you were about to break down... a figure shrouded in Sea God's Light appeared.]

["Wulin, I'm your dad, your biological dad, Sea God Tang San, Asura God Tang San, one of the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm, a God Realm Enforcer..."]

["I promise to resurrect your dad and mom and let them live in another world."]

Boom~!!!

Inside the Heart-Questioning Space, thunderous booms rang through Tang San's mind. His eyes widened, his gaze incredulous.

"Tang... Tang San, Sea God Tang San, Asura God Tang San... that's... that's me?"

"Tang Wulin's biological father is me??"

"No, how... how is that possible? How could I plot against my own child!!!"

Tang San's pupils contracted sharply as he rapidly sorted through everything already exposed about Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin... especially how Tang Wulin's biological father had schemed against the Golden Dragon King, used his son to bait the waters, and delivered all the Golden Dragon King's power into his own son's body.

But then again, without my schemes, without my plans, how could Tang Wulin become one of the Five Great God Kings? How could he endure hardships and become a god? I... I was doing this for his own good too.

Tang San's heart was a tangled mess. He had never imagined that the person who schemed over everything and used his own biological son to bait the waters would actually be him. He kept brainwashing himself inwardly to accept that he had done it for his son's own good, but he still could not get past his own conscience.

Right, right, right. Although he's my son, although I'm a God King, that's precisely why, if he doesn't work hard and suffer every hardship in the future, how will he stand on his own? How will he take up the great responsibility of the Divine Realm... I'm done for. I still can't get past my own conscience. How could I become so obsessed that I used my own biological son to bait the waters?

I must have had unavoidable hardships back then. I must have, I must have... wait, Sea God, Asura God... damn it.

Tang Wutong couldn't be my daughter too, could she? Huo Yuhao couldn't be my son-in-law too, could he?? Damn it, please don't let that be true, and whatever you do, don't scheme against Huo Yuhao. That guy is a lunatic now!!!

But the next instant, Wenxin's revelation appeared, making Tang San's pupils contract violently beyond his control.
