Dumbfounded. They were utterly dumbfounded.

When an introduction to the Divine Realm appeared in the Wenxin Livestream, an actual god appeared as well.

And he was even a God King Level god.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

What left everyone even more dumbfounded was that the God King bore an eighty- to ninety-percent resemblance to the present Huo Yuhao. Not only were their faces nearly identical, but their names differed only in surname.

Or perhaps they were simply the same person.

What stunned everyone even more was that when Huo Yuhao saw Huo Yuhao-or rather, his introduction-his eyes instantly turned red, his fists clenched until they bled, and he bit his lip until blood seeped out.

In an instant, Huo Yuhao's Wenxin Livestream split in two.

One side was dark and blood-red, seething with extreme rage and hatred.

The other side-the other side was bright and holy, shrouded in a god-level aura. In the image, Huo Yuhao's face was beaded with sweat after exercising, and he wore a happy smile as he prepared to make dinner for his wife.

The Douluo I Era!

"A god, a God King Level god, a Supreme God!"

Qian Daoliu's gaze went blank.

"Destined to become a god-is this the future Huo Yuhao?"

"Will I appear in the Divine Realm someday too?"

Qian Renxue's gaze went blank.

Sea God Island

"A god. He really did become a god, and a God King at that. But... why isn't he the Sea God?"

Bo Saixi trembled with excitement, her face puzzled.

Slaughter City

"A God King! Why isn't he the Asura God?"

Doubt filled Tang Chen's eyes.

Douluo II, the Peerless Era

"Dai Hao, do you see that? It's your son, your son! His surname is Dai too!"

"Woohoo, we're taking off! Your Dai Family is about to produce a god, and our Star Luo Empire is about to soar once again!"

Dai Hao stared blankly at the Wenxin Livestream.

"Yuhao, Yuhao, Huo Yuhao!"

"He's the child Yun'er and I had!"

"I never would have imagined that the child who had always been so unremarkable would become a god someday-and a God King of the Divine Realm at that!"

The era of Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King

"It's Spirit Ice Douluo, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda!"

"As expected of Spirit Ice Douluo! He's already worked his way up to God King Level in the Divine Realm!"

"But for some reason, in our era, we can no longer sense the Divine Realm!"

The next instant, under everyone's horrified gazes-

Huo Yuhao abruptly opened his backpack and pulled out a White Tiger Dagger.

Shing!!!

The dagger flashed with cold light. Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Yuhao charged straight forward and thrust it at Huo Yuhao!

"Wait, Huo Yuhao, wait! What are you doing?!"

"What's going on? His pre-godhood self wants to kill his post-godhood self?"

"What on earth is Huo Yuhao doing? Is he still not satisfied or happy with what he's achieved now?"

"As expected of the future Emotion God King! When his emotions take over, he'll even attack himself! Now that's temperament!"

Buzz!!!

The Divine Realm

As Huo Yuhao crossed the World Barrier and appeared in the Divine Realm, a dagger was about to pierce through Huo Yuhao's back.

Huo Yuhao seemed to sense something. He turned his head slightly, dazzling divine light bursting from his eyes.

Nine divine rings appeared, followed the next instant by seven powerful figures.

"Insolence!"

"Who dares raise a hand against his superior?!"

With just one glance, the newcomer pinned Huo Yuhao in place. Terrifying Divine Sense swept outward, but just as it was about to obliterate Huo Yuhao completely, it stopped.

Huo Yuhao saw Huo Yuhao's face clearly, and his body instantly froze.

In an instant, all defenses vanished. The next instant, a pair of blood-red eyes snapped wide open, filled with extreme resentment and hatred.

Whoosh-squelch!!!

"Yuhao!"

The seven divine spirits were shocked.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly raised a hand to stop them.

"Don't! Ice Empress, Snow Empress, don't!"

When Tian Meng, Ice Empress, Snow Empress, Li Ya, and the other Ferocious Beasts saw the face of the person attacking Huo Yuhao, they froze completely.

Huo Yuhao grasped Huo Yuhao's hand, seeming to see through everything in that instant.

"You're... you're me!"

"My eleven-year-old self!"

Huo Yuhao's pupils trembled violently as he stared blankly at Huo Yuhao.

Everything he could not understand, every doubt, vanished like smoke the instant he determined Huo Yuhao's bone age. His questions were answered.

He looked at that figure whose face was full of hatred, whose eyes brimmed with resentment.

Huo Yuhao bowed his head deeply, guilt showing on his face beneath everyone's puzzled, bewildered gazes.

"Why?!"

"Why?!"

"Why did you change your surname?!"

Huo Yuhao's hoarse roar, furious beyond measure, rang throughout the Wenxin Livestream.

After Huo Yuhao's roar, three enormous question marks instantly appeared in everyone's minds.

"What's going on? What the hell is going on? Can someone well-endowed explain this?!"

"Why does Huo Yuhao hate his godhood self so much?"

"Why does the Huo Yuhao who became a god look so guilty facing his eleven-year-old self?"

Huo Yuhao lifted his head blankly, deep fear and helplessness welling in his eyes.

But at the thought of that God King father-in-law who had already reincarnated, a dazzling light suddenly burst from Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"I-I didn't want to either. I-I was forced into it too. You can't blame me. If you were in my place, you wouldn't have a choice either!"

"Mom leaving, Elder Yi leaving... I had no other choice. If I followed that one road all the way into darkness, my wife would leave too. I couldn't lose anyone else!"

Huo Yuhao gripped Huo Yuhao's shoulders tightly, his eyes bloodshot.

"I didn't want to either, but I had no choice..."

In that instant, Huo Yuhao crumpled to the ground, as though all his strength had been drained away.

Didn't want to. Had no choice. Huo Yuhao looked up at Huo Yuhao.

Had my future self tried, fought for it, but still had no choice?

"What about Mom?"

"Did you avenge Mom?"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Huo Yuhao proudly raised his head.

"I did, I did. Father-in-law had taken Mom's soul into his keeping long ago. After becoming a god, I could bring two people to the Divine Realm."

"I've already brought Mom to the Divine Realm."

After hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Huo Yuhao smiled.

"Good, good. That's good."

"Mom came back to life, and you even brought her to the Divine Realm."

"That's wonderful!"

Above the Douluo World, a golden pupil contracted sharply.

The next instant, it forced its way into the river of time, plucked out fragments of Huo Yuhao's life, and decisively chose to expose them.

A screen of light forcibly appeared before Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao could see it clearly as well.

[Before Huo Yun'er's grave, Dai Hao was forcibly pressed to the ground.]

[The White Tiger Lineage once again took the throne of the Star Luo Empire.]

[After becoming a god, Huo Yuhao knelt before Dai Mubai and acknowledged his ancestors, returning to his clan. Dai Hao, who should have died, also appeared in the Divine Realm, together with Mom...]

Crack!

Bam!!

Huo Yuhao flew into a rage. The next instant, his fist slammed straight into Huo Yuhao's face.

"Revenge! Avenging Mom!"

"This is what you call avenging Mom?!"

"You didn't kill a single one of the White Tiger Duke's people! You never laid a hand on that damned woman even as she died of illness! You even acknowledged your ancestors and returned to the clan, and you brought that damned man to the Divine Realm, granting him eternal life!"

"Kneeling, kowtowing, gaining eternal life-this is what you call revenge?!"

"Heh... hahaha!!!"

Red as blood, his defenses shattered-in the space of a mere instant, Huo Yuhao was crying and laughing at once.

Hatred, despair, and deathly stillness appeared in his eyes at the same time.
