What Right Did You Have to Forgive Them for Me!

The instant the film of his life appeared, Huo Yuhao inwardly cursed.

Before he could determine where this power came from, or why it could directly retrace his life-

Huo Yuhao's fist was already before his eyes.

With his current God King-level strength and power, Huo Yuhao could easily have reacted, stopped the attack, or even counterattacked and killed him.

But Huo Yuhao saw the hatred, despair, and deathly emptiness in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

He involuntarily recalled his younger days.

Back when his eyes had been filled with hatred, when all he wanted was revenge, victory, to destroy the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and wipe out the White Tiger line.

Huo Yuhao froze.

That's right. When? When did I become like this too?

It wasn't like this. When I left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion at eleven, the hatred in my heart, that sea of blood-deep vengeance, was like a mountain, constantly driving me to grow stronger, driving me to take revenge, pushing me to change.

Was it joining the Tang Sect and meeting Teacher Xiao Ya and Senior Brother Bei Bei?

Was it entering Shrek Academy and meeting Wang Dong and Wang Dong'er?

Or was it after Qiankun Asking Love Valley, after Tang Wutong... my dear wife?

Electrolux's admonition: do not let hatred blind your eyes.

Later, much later, he had met many people and done many things. The hatred in his heart had faded, until he had even... forgotten it.

Under the pressure of his God King father-in-law and the White Tiger ancestor... he had acknowledged his ancestors and returned to the clan, forgetting his hatred completely.

He had even accepted that man's arrival in the Divine Realm.

Huo Yuhao's fists rained down like a storm.

Huo Yuhao neither resisted nor stopped him, because he knew-he knew his younger self needed an outlet for his emotions.

"What's going on?"

"Why are they fighting again??"

"Why isn't God King Huo Yuhao fighting back???"

Huo Yuhao's breakdown and eruption had come too quickly. Before anyone watching the Wenxin Livestream could react, his fists were already raining down like a storm.

No one had expected that seeing his future life would make Huo Yuhao break down again and beat the version of himself who had become a god and changed his surname.

Nor had anyone expected Huo Yuhao to surrender without a struggle, making not the slightest attempt to resist or stop him, letting Huo Yuhao beat him.

Especially within the shroud of golden light.

In the Douluo I era, Tang San watched the Wenxin Livestream in his mind, a disdainful sneer curling his lips.

"To think that the person chosen alongside me by this so-called Wenxin Livestream would be such a coward."

"That kneel to acknowledge his ancestors and return to his clan knelt away every scrap of his pride, as though someone had ripped out his spine and put a dog leash on him."

"But why does the man beside the White Tiger ancestor, forcing Huo Yuhao to kneel and acknowledge his ancestors, feel so indescribably familiar?"

In the era of Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King, in Eastsea City, Tang Wulin had searched the entire city for his sister without finding her. Enveloped in golden light, he too was forcibly dragged into that peculiar space.

The Wenxin Livestream played in his mind.

"So this is Senior Huo Yuhao's life?"

"Even after becoming a god, he lost so much. Senior Huo Yuhao is suffering now too, just as much as I am after losing my sister!"

"Why, why? Tell me, why!"

"Why did you change your surname? Why did you resign yourself to your fate!!"

"If you had the power to become a god, why couldn't you revive Mom yourself? Why did you have to bring that man up here too!!!"

"What right did you have to forgive them for me!!!!"

"Have you forgotten the chief culprit who hurt us and Mom, who brought us all that suffering?????"

Huo Yuhao's roars tore at the heart and lungs. The hatred and killing intent in his eyes had long since become tangible.

He hammered Huo Yuhao's face, punch after punch, knowing neither pain nor exhaustion, like a machine running over and over without knowing how to stop.

"I told you..."

"I had no choice..."

"I couldn't lose anything else..."

Facing one question after another from his younger self, enduring the pain of each punch landing on his face, Huo Yuhao's face rapidly flushed red.

The instant that final question rang out-"Have you forgotten the chief culprit who hurt us and Mom, who brought us all that suffering????"

It was like one cold, sharp, bone-scraping blade after another piercing straight into Huo Yuhao's heart.

Faced with his younger self wanting to kill him the moment he saw him, Huo Yuhao had not broken down.

Because he knew that, if it had been him-if he had learned everything that would happen while he was still young-he would have made the same choice.

Faced with his younger self demanding why he had not killed a single person from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, why he had not destroyed it, and even why he had brought that man into the Divine Realm to enjoy eternal life, Huo Yuhao still had not broken down.

Because Huo Yuhao knew he had had no choice. He had only just become a god, had not fully merged with his divine seat, and could not completely command the power of a First-Level God. His combat strength during that period had been inferior to even the White Tiger ancestor Dai Mubai, a Second-Level God, with his God King father-in-law standing beside them to enforce matters.

He had not wanted to lose his wife. Huo Yuhao had had no choice.

But when his younger self's final words, that final question, fell-

His God King divine seat trembled, his divine power of emotions instantly fell into chaos, and his heart of the Dao shattered in an instant. He broke down completely.

That question held accusation, pain, hatred, and, more than anything, profound despair.

The hatred buried deep in his heart for years was stirred awake.

Whoosh~!!!

Just as Huo Yuhao's fist was about to fall again, a pale hand formed of ice crystals instantly seized his descending hand.

"Enough!!!"

Huo Yuhao flushed red and broke down, his eyes as bloodshot as Huo Yuhao's.

"You don't understand anything! You don't know anything! No one can understand me!"

"If I had enough power, if I were strong enough, if I had a choice!!"

"Do you think I wanted to acknowledge my ancestors and return to the clan? That I wanted to become a God King's live-in son-in-law? That I wanted to become what I am now!!!"

Huo Yuhao looked at the younger version of himself before him, Huo Yuhao, whose eyes were full of hatred, resentment, and hostility toward him.

"Look at yourself now."

"You have no ability, no strength."

"You've only just left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, haven't you? Right now, you're just a castoff of your clan who's lost his mother, nothing but a homeless dog by the roadside!"

"What right do you have to deny everything about me?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Huo Yuhao and vilified him with the cruelest words. The one he was vilifying was his younger self; the one he was cursing was his past self. He too had hatred in his heart, but under his God King father-in-law's years of oppression, he had buried every emotion deep inside, never daring to show even a trace.

His heart was conflicted. He knew he should not say such things, but under Huo Yuhao's intense pressure, he had broken down, and the words left his mouth before his mind could catch up.

He did not believe he was wrong. He had simply had no choice. If his eleven-year-old self had been put in his place, Huo Yuhao did not necessarily think he could have done any better.

"When you reach my age, when you wield the power I do, you'll understand that some problems cannot be solved, even when you have enough power!"

"Some hatreds have to be forgotten, because you have no choice!!"

"At least I've brought Mom back to life! At least I still have Mom! What about you???"

"You're just a piece of trash with no mother, no wife, no power, nothing at all!!!!"

"I'm cursing myself, cursing my past self, but aren't you doing the same? While I'm cursing you, you're questioning your future self too! If you went through everything I did, only to be questioned and insulted by your past self, how would you feel!!!!!"
