Pfft!!!

A mouthful of divine blood suddenly spurted from Huo Yuhao's mouth.

He stared blankly at Huo Yuhao, guilt in his eyes, his body trembling uncontrollably.

He had forgotten. No, he had merely chosen to let it fade from memory.

He had had no choice about acknowledging his ancestry and changing his surname, nor about bringing Dai Hao to the Divine Realm.

He had believed he had no choice about destroying the White Tiger Duke's Mansion either, that he had never had the opportunity.

No, he had had many opportunities, countless opportunities.

After he turned twelve, he had actually had many opportunities: Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Electrolux, Ice Empress, Snow Empress...

He could have destroyed the White Tiger Duke's Mansion long ago.

But he had not.

"If you were someone else, if you weren't Huo Yuhao."

"I wouldn't blame you for not avenging Mom!"

"But... you're Yuhao. You're Mom's child. Have you forgotten how Mom was nearly beaten to death protecting you, then lay in bed suffering for two and a half whole years before dying with her grievances unresolved!!!"

The more Huo Yuhao spoke, the angrier he grew, the White Tiger Dagger in his hand pointing straight at Huo Yuhao.

"You became the hope of the Tang Sect's Rise. You revived the Tang Sect, ascended with your Soul Spirits, and saved the Three Great Empires. You became everything everyone hoped you would become!"

"But do you still remember how, at eleven, you were filled with violence, bearing a sea of blood-deep hatred, obsessed with nothing but revenge!!"

"You betrayed Mom! You betrayed me! You forgot the oath you swore that year!!!"

Huo Yuhao's words were knives, every sound, every sentence, every word stabbing the heart.

Huo Yuhao felt stifled, terribly stifled, and pained. His heart was in agony too.

He looked at the version of himself opposite him, whose face was full of resentment and hatred.

Huo Yuhao slowly raised his hand, trembling uncontrollably from head to toe.

He could deceive his ancestor Dai Mubai, his God King Father-in-law, the mother who loved him, and even his beloved wife, Tang Wutong.

But he could not deceive his own heart.

The hatred in his heart remained. It had always been there, only forcibly suppressed and endured. He dared not-he dared not take that step.

The instant his younger self stirred up his hatred, Huo Yuhao questioned his own heart.

He found nothing but chaos, his thoughts obstructed...

With a single thought, an inner demon took root.

White Huo Yuhao frantically explained.

"No, I haven't forgotten!"

"Have I forgotten!!"

"Didn't I bring Mom back to life? What more do you want, Huo Yuhao!!!"

"You keep calling me the God King's son-in-law. What's wrong with being the God King's son-in-law?"

"I became a God King! I became the strongest god currently in the Divine Realm!!"

"My father-in-law died, and I inherited his daughter and all the forces he left behind. I've taken good care of Mom too!!!"

"As long as I endure, endure to the utmost, endure until they're all dead, doesn't that count as revenge????"

Whoosh!!!

Huo Yuhao's gaze was sharp as a blade, his words cold. One sentence instantly shattered Huo Yuhao's defenses.

"Isn't that what you were supposed to do?"

"Does bringing Mom back to life make up for all the suffering and harm she endured before??"

"Forgetting means betrayal. You betrayed Mom! You betrayed yourself!!!"

Rumble!!!

Those heart-piercing words made Huo Yuhao's divine seat totter, his ice-pure, jade-pristine divine power stained with dark scorching.

His divine seat gathered dust, and his power of emotion erupted, teetering...

In an instant, four powers of emotion surged: anger, grief, hatred, and loathing.

Ice Empress, Snow Empress, Evil Emperor, and Li Ya's divine power broke through, their auras surpassing divine spirits.

Evil Emperor was overjoyed.

"Huo Yuhao, if you can talk like that, say some more!"

"Even this can increase our power!!"

"This Wenxin Livestream thing broadcasts to all three realms, right? I am Evil Emperor! The Evil Eye Clan should hurry and offer themselves as sacrifices to Huo Yuhao. You can't imagine the joy of becoming a god!!!"

As all kinds of negative emotions engulfed Huo Yuhao, Dark Huo Yuhao slowly took control of his body.

"Yes, yes, yes! I can't keep making one mistake after another!"

"It's not too late, not too late! It's still not too late for me to turn back!!"

"Kill that man and sever the White Tiger Lineage...!!!"

Huo Yuhao ran quickly toward Huo Yuhao, reaching out to take his hand.

Huo Yuhao turned away coldly and shoved Huo Yuhao aside.

"No, it's already too late!"

"Just carry on being your God King's son-in-law!!"

"Leave revenge and the responsibility of ending the White Tiger Lineage's legacy to me!!!"

[This Wenxin has concluded. Dao Heart Self-Understanding... Heart and Intent Clarity... Reversal of Wenxin: helping the self who lost his Dao Heart walk a path of his own.] [Reward: power of emotion!]

A beam of golden light immediately descended upon Huo Yuhao.

Through the Wenxin Livestream, everyone saw Huo Yuhao receive a reward for completing his Wenxin.

"Emotion... the power of emotion!"

"Destined to become a god-the future Emotion God King!!"

"Holy crap, Huo Yuhao's taking off this time! He'll definitely become a god even earlier than his future self did!!!"

Within the shroud of Wenxin's golden light.

Tang San and Tang Wulin looked up in shock.

"There are rewards too? Even someone with Huo Yuhao's disposition can become a god, and a God King of the Divine Realm at that, the strongest God King..."

"I should be able to become a god in the future too, right?"

"I wonder what reward I'll get."

Tang San was full of anticipation.

Huo Yuhao's heart was far too fragile, not even half as strong as his own. If someone with his talent could become a god, then with his Mysterious Heaven Skill, Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, and various cultivation techniques bolstering him, Tang San believed his achievements would far surpass Huo Yuhao's.

As for why he was so certain, first, both he and Huo Yuhao had been chosen by Wenxin.

If his future achievements were very low, he would not qualify to enter Wenxin.

After all, among so many people, across three worlds and three eras, only three people had been chosen.

Based on his conjectures, Tang San was certain that his era and world should precede Huo Yuhao's era and world.

Second, in the fragments of Huo Yuhao's future, Tang San had seen traces of the Tang Sect, and Huo Yuhao had revived the Tang Sect.

Third, when Huo Yuhao's life experiences were exposed, at the moment he knelt to acknowledge his ancestry and change his surname, Tang San had seen himself there. Moreover, Huo Yuhao had been forced to return to his ancestral clan by Tang San himself.

Therefore, he would also be a god in the future, and a deity even stronger than Huo Yuhao.

"Senior Huo Yuhao's Wenxin is over!"

"Senior Huo Yuhao suffered so much. I truly can't imagine how I'd untangle that situation if I were in his position!!"

"I wonder who'll undergo Wenxin next. If only it were me, then I could ask where my little sister Na'er is!!!"

Tang Wulin was deeply uneasy. He had begun searching frantically after Na'er left, but had still found no trace of her.

He worried. He worried whether his little sister Na'er had enough to eat, whether she would be abandoned again, and whether others would bully her again.

Wenxin Livestream

"Hard to judge, hard to settle, impossible to let go!"

"After watching Huo Yuhao's experiences at eleven, bearing a sea of blood-deep hatred and obsessed with revenge, I thought this was the setup for a satisfying revenge story??"

"Then you're telling me Huo Yuhao ended up kneeling to acknowledge his ancestry and changing his surname? He just dumped a massive pile of crap???"

"No, are you kidding me? Can we get a video where Huo Yuhao changes his surname again and kills that irresponsible scumbag? Being force-fed shit feels awful, okay????"

Hum!!!

Inside the golden Heart-Questioning Space.

Huo Yuhao reappeared, but he had already entered a special state. The power of emotion surrounded his entire body, and he was no longer aware of the outside world.

Tang Wulin and Tang San were both there.

Just as everyone thought Huo Yuhao's Wenxin had ended and the second Wenxin Livestream was about to begin.

A golden light flashed in an instant.

[Detected: Child of Destiny Huo Yuhao's Wenxin has affected his future self...!] [This Wenxin is also an effect of Huo Yuhao's Wenxin. The livestream will now continue with the experiences of the affected Huo Yuhao!!]

Hum!!!

Huo Yuhao's previously closed Wenxin Livestream opened again.

The Divine Realm

Only this time, Huo Yuhao was no longer there.

There was only Huo Yuhao, frozen in place.

Huo Yuhao stood rooted to the spot, his aura in chaos, negative emotions erupting again and again, wildly battering his surroundings.

His divine seat trembled, his divine power turned black... Clearly, he had entered a special state.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's face was deathly pale.

"No, no! Eleven-year-old Huo Yuhao has affected Huo Yuhao too deeply. If this continues, his divine seat will fall, his divine rings will shatter, and we'll all..."

Ice Empress watched Huo Yuhao as he was now, clenching her fists.

"We should have wiped out the White Tiger Duke's Mansion back then. An ant-like family like that should have been destroyed long ago!"

Evil Emperor watched Huo Yuhao as he was now, a cruel smile slowly curling his lips.

"Heh, isn't that simple? Vent that anger. Just kill that damned Dai Hao!"

The instant those words rang out, Huo Yuhao's entire aura transformed.

A burst of divine light erupted in an instant, shaking the entire Divine Realm.

In a flash, God-level auras came from every direction.

"What's going on? A God King's power-God King Corruption?"

"How is that possible? This is insane! Who affected a God King? Could the Golden Dragon King's remnant soul not have fully dissipated, and now it's trying to possess a God King??"

"This aura-no! It's the Emotion God King! If he erupts completely, the already tottering Divine Realm will be utterly finished!!!"

The Divine Realm was currently in the state following the departure of the first-generation Destruction and Life, the Spatial Turbulence, and Tang San's reincarnation.

Before the future great merger of the Divine Realm and the emergence of the Great God Realm.

Huo Yuhao slowly stood up, his eyes scarlet, a cruel smile on his lips.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Kill him! Kill that man!!"

"He should have died long ago!!!"

Huo Yuhao's dark side erupted, turning him completely dark.
