Chapter 24: Authentic Yuhao Started the Fight, and God King Wulin Joined In? (Begging for Support and Continued Reading!)

Heart-Questioning Space

Bang!!!

Huo Yuhao dropped painfully to his knees, his eyes already frighteningly bloodshot.

His body kept trembling, not from dread, not from fear, but from anger-anger pushed to its limit. His mind buzzed incessantly, and only Sea God Tang San's voice reached it clearly.

"Heh... exposed?"

"If you don't tell and I don't tell, who would know?"

"Just thinking about how, after I resurrected his mother, he would have to thank me with boundless gratitude, acknowledge his ancestry, and keep calling me Ancestor and Father-in-law... tsk, tsk, tsk. That feeling."

Tang San's face went pale with despair. He knew... he knew the Three Realms and the Wenxin Livestream had probably already erupted.

Let it all be destroyed. He was tired. This was pure torment.

Outside the Old Divine Realm

Authentic Yuhao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. All the grievances he had suffered over the years flashed through his mind.

Especially the way he had been too ashamed to answer his younger self's questions.

He held the Staff in his left hand, commanding the Undead Army, and a blade in his right, his eyes bloodshot.

Authentic Yuhao's eyes gradually grew blood-red and crazed.

"I, Authentic Yuhao, will lead you in declaring war on the entire Divine Realm!"

"We are the undead!"

"We are calamity!"

The Wenxin Livestream flickered slightly, and a split-screen appeared the next instant.

When the voices rang out within that screen, when the densely packed undead appeared, when that figure carrying the Reincarnation Stele on his back appeared-

"A-Authentic Yuhao!"

"Fantastic! Instant gratification!"

"The Undead Calamity descends on the Divine Realm!"

When Authentic Yuhao appeared in the Wenxin Livestream with his Undead Army, outside the Old Divine Realm's World Sea-

The Three Realms erupted.

What did it mean to take revenge before the night was out? What was an Undead Calamity? What did it mean for one man to ignite two world-scale divine wars?

Authentic Yuhao would give everyone the answers.

New Divine Realm

God King Tang Wulin was dumbstruck when he saw his Sea God father reveal scheme after scheme in the Wenxin Livestream.

But when Authentic Yuhao and the Undead Army appeared in the Wenxin Livestream, revealing the encircled Old Divine Realm, he panicked.

"Bu Hao, my father!!!"

"I haven't cleared everything up yet! Don't die!"

"I need to get Mom and Dad's souls back!"

A voice instantly thundered throughout the New Divine Realm.

"All Deities, all available forces, follow me to save the Old Divine Realm!"

Before the Old Divine Realm's World Sea.

Authentic Yuhao unleashed terrifying Divine Sense, and the World Sea began slowly, madly parting to either side and all around.

"Once you enter the Old Divine Realm, I have only one demand."

"Kill them all, kill them all, and fucking kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

"No excuses! No explanations! Hold nothing back!"

"Devour divine blood yourselves! Assimilate divine bodies yourselves! Never sheathe your blades!"

Madness filled Authentic Yuhao's face as he swept his hand.

"If you fall in battle, I'll resurrect you!"

"For those with outstanding merits, your names will be inscribed on the Reincarnation Stele for reincarnation!"

"Speak my true name in reincarnation, and I will protect your true spirit and halve your sins on the road to rebirth!"

As Earthly Dao Yuhao laid out his terms one after another, everyone watching the Three Realms' sky screen was stunned.

"Authentic Yuhao is fucking amazing!"

"He says reincarnate, and you reincarnate? Does he own reincarnation or something? Wait, it looks like Authentic Yuhao actually does!"

"He won't take a single thing the undead get from killing gods in the Old Divine Realm. They can be resurrected if they die, and receive benefits for military merits! Unbeatable! Where else could you find the boss of your dreams like this?"

Authentic Yuhao raised his hand and, without the slightest hesitation, cleaved open the Old Divine Realm's World Barrier.

The Undead Army poured in madly.

"They're attacking! They're attacking! God Kings Kindness and Evil, they're attacking!"

"Damn it! Damned Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon!"

"Where's Sea God Tang San?"

Buzz!!!

Just as Authentic Yuhao was about to charge into the Old Divine Realm himself, four streaks of God King light rushed over from the New Divine Realm.

"Calm down, calm down! Brother-in-law, calm down!"

Destruction God King Tang Wulin led them.

"Calm down?"

"Heh. Anyone who stops me today dies. I don't care who they are!"

"And from now on, I am no longer your brother-in-law. I never was!"

God King Tang Wulin's heart lurched.

"Sis! Sis, hurry over!"

As an extraordinarily beautiful woman shrouded in seven-colored light appeared, Authentic Yuhao struck without hesitation.

"Hand it over!"

Tang Wutong paled in alarm as she looked at the darkened Authentic Yuhao.

"It's me... it's me, Yuhao! It's me! How did you become like this?"

"Please come back. I'm scared!"

"It's me, the one who loves you..."

"Shut up!"

"Dong'er would support me, Qiu'er would quietly stay by my side. Only you, Tang Wutong, would always stand against me!"

Seeing Authentic Yuhao seize Tang Wutong, God King Tang Wulin instantly went red-eyed.

"Authentic Yuhao, if you dare hurt my sister..."

Before God King Tang Wulin could finish, a single remark from Sea God Tang San in the Wenxin Livestream in his mind shattered his composure.

Within Wenxin

Sea God Tang San smiled at the inner demon whose Dao Heart was on the verge of collapse.

"As for the other person you asked about, Tang Wulin, my son."

"All I can say is that he was born at a very good time."

"It was during the Golden Dragon King’s Rampage in the Divine Realm. I borrowed the power of the two God Kings, Kindness and Evil, to severely wound him, and he was about to detonate himself and destroy the entire Divine Realm with him."

"Destruction and Life had just died then. I controlled the entire Divine Realm, and my era had only just begun. How could I possibly let my Divine Realm be destroyed like that?"

Sea God Tang San slowly turned his back on the young Tang San, a smile gradually curling his lips.

"Inadvertently, the bloodline auras of Tang Wulin and me leaked out. The Golden Dragon King flew toward the newborn Tang Wulin and poured all his power into his body."

"That was all the Golden Dragon King's power. Even at my peak, I needed the power of two other God Kings to contend with him..."

Tang San raised his head blankly, staring at the Sea God Tang San who had already become unhinged.

"So? So... so you... schemed against your own son? You used your own son as chum just to obtain the Golden Dragon King's power through your schemes? And because you were afraid he would suddenly explode and destroy the Divine Realm, you threw him into the lower realm!"

God King Tang San froze, seemingly not having expected his inner-demon self to say that.

"As expected of my inner demon. You actually thought of exactly what I wanted to do. You even learned to answer ahead of me."

World Sea

Authentic Yuhao smiled as he held Tang Wutong.

Watching the Wenxin Livestream in his mind, he turned toward God King Tang Wulin, whose expression had changed drastically and whose face had gone deathly pale.

"I wasn't the only one he schemed against. There was you, too..."

"What will you do?"

"Keep being spineless all your life, or choose to resist? Ah, who can say? The one who schemed against you was your own father, after all."

"Will there be one more father-killer, or one more God King who gives up completely and lies flat?"

Within Wenxin

"Of course I wouldn't be such a beast. I did seal the Golden Dragon King's power that was about to explode. Not only that, I even split off a Divided Soul... to protect him."

Tang San instantly lost his composure.

"Fuck! Now you want to save face? Where the fuck was that before?"

"Using your own child as chum-had your fill of fun, did you?"

"You schemed to get a Child of Destiny as your son-in-law, and you wanted to scheme your way into having a son with the Golden Dragon King's peak God King power!"

Even if Tang San's heart was as firm as rock, deep down, he still yearned desperately for family.

After all, he had been an orphan in his previous life and had never felt familial love. So even after transmigrating and being reborn, however beastly the drunken Tang Hao was-ceasing to look after him once he could walk, ceasing to feed him once he could cook-Tang San had never uttered a word of complaint.

But seeing himself become a God King, obsessed with power, standing at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm's authority, using his daughter to fish for a Child of Destiny and his son to fish for the Golden Dragon King, instantly broke his composure.

He thought of the snippets of conspiracy revealed through Wenxin Exposure.

He thought of Sea God Tang San's shameless maneuvers, scheming against this and that... Since the man had abandoned all shame, since he had begun reveling in himself, Tang San would stop caring too and rip away his fig leaf.

"Protection, my ass! You split off a Divided Soul to spy on him!"

Sea God Tang San's expression shifted slightly as he looked at the inner demon who had developed a will of his own. He kept feeling that something was wrong.

"What you said isn't really wrong. After all, he is my child."

"My child, Sea God Tang San's... Asura God Tang San's child!"

"So Tang Wulin's adoptive parents merely raised my child..."

Tang San's expression abruptly changed. Fuck, I got carried away and lost control.

But when he heard what Sea God Tang San was about to say, Tang San could no longer sit still.

"Please, please, I'm begging you. Leave yourself a way out."

"You don't have many chances of surviving left!"

"Dad! Great Dad! Block your own path if you want, but don't block mine too!"

Watching his younger self desperately try to stop him, Sea God Tang San's expression slowly settled.

"Heh. I almost thought you weren't an inner demon. So even inner demons have things they fear."

"You won't let me say it? Then I insist. I'm going to shatter my inner demon's Dao Heart."

"I am God King Tang San, Pure and Spotless. How could I possibly develop an inner demon?"

The next instant, Sea God Tang San spoke again, delivering a devastating blow to the younger self he believed was his inner demon.

"Raising Tang Wulin doesn't mean they are Tang Wulin's parents. They were merely a pair of tools. So when they died, I immediately took their souls away, precisely to prevent Wulin from resurrecting them without permission after becoming a god because he couldn't sever his attachment to them!"

A gleam of satisfaction flashed through Sea God Tang San's eyes.

"Wulin can only have one pair of parents, and they are... me, Sea God Tang San, and Xiao Wu!"

"A God King's kindness can never be repaid!"

Tang San's knees buckled, and he dropped straight to the ground.

He knew. He knew that the instant Sea God Tang San said those words, his last path to survival was gone. He, too, would soon face the interrogation of two Wenxin Protagonists.

World Sea

Opposite Huo Yuhao, God King Tang Wulin's expression changed wildly, his face turning from white to yellow, yellow to black, black to red... Finally, his divine blood surged backward, and he spat out a mouthful the next instant.

Pfft!!!

"Heh, hahahaha... My life has been nothing but a... joke!"

Memories instantly flashed through his mind of his parents in the lower realm doting on him, raising him one mouthful at a time.

["Love you, Mom. See you tomorrow, Mom~ Crack!!!"]

The images in his mind shattered in an instant.

Authentic Yuhao sneered and turned away. The instant the Wenxin Livestream exposed what Sea God Tang San had done to Tang Wulin's parents, God King Tang Wulin had ceased to be a threat.

"Next... wash the Old Divine Realm in blood!"

Whoosh!!!

The instant Authentic Yuhao turned to leave, a pair of savage, blood-red eyes lifted.

"Wait for me! I'm going to ask him! I'm going to demand why he treated me this way!"

Savage, destructive killing intent erupted from God King Tang Wulin, his eyes blood-red and his aura chaotic.

At this sight, the Three Realms erupted.

"Beast! Sea God Tang San is a beast! Pure and Spotless, my ass! He schemes against people down to their bones, and won't even spare his own children, yet he still calls himself Pure and Spotless! I'm going to puke!"

"Amazing, fucking amazing. Only now do I understand the weight of young Tang Wulin's words: 'Anyone who follows you ends up unlucky.' You only raised my son, so that doesn't mean you're my son's parents? He outright abducted Tang Wulin's adoptive parents' souls, afraid his son couldn't sever his attachment to them, stopping him from resurrecting them without permission. Is this something a fucking human being would do?"

"Aaah, I'm falling apart! Can Sea God Tang San just die? Thank goodness he only schemed against Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin. What would we do if he schemed against everyone?"

When everyone remembered that Tang San also bore the title Prime Culprit, their faces instantly went deathly pale.

It seemed Sea God Tang San's Wenxin had not truly begun, yet so much dirt had already been exposed.

When Earthly Dao Yuhao charged into the Old Divine Realm.

The Undead Army invading the Old Divine Realm on all fronts instantly erupted.

"Leave... not a single one alive!!!"

"Tang San, today you die!!!"

The third eye on Authentic Yuhao's brow slowly opened. Empowered by the power of reincarnation, the Super Divine Artifact, the Eternal Eye, also underwent a drastic transformation.

"Eternal Reincarnation Eye!"

A terrifying Divine Sense bearing the power of the Dao of Reincarnation swept across the entire Old Divine Realm in an instant.

Bang, bang, bang!!!

The next instant, a string of explosions rang out throughout the entire Old Divine Realm.

"This power-a God King!"

"N-no, a Supreme God King!!"

"Even stronger than Sea God Tang San! This is bad-it really is an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon!!!"

"Quick, quick, go summon Lord Sea God!!!!"

Panic swept through the Old Divine Realm.

Just then, a figure bearing the power of a God King, wrapped in purple lightning, swiftly flew into the Old Divine Realm.

The next instant, the faces of all the Deities in the Old Divine Realm lit up with joy as they sensed that divine power and the familiar aura of that God Position.

"It's-it's the aura of Lord Destruction God King's God Position!"

"It's the Destruction God King! Wonderful, the Destruction God King has appeared!!"

"No, that's not right! This is bad-it isn't the Destruction God King returned through reincarnation!!!"

Crack!!!

"Those who stand in my way... die!!!"

Behind him, the God Kings and Deities of the New Divine Realm who had followed God King Tang Wulin into the Old Divine Realm were dumbfounded as they watched God King Tang Wulin, who had descended into madness, fly madly toward the Old Divine Realm Central Hub.
