Hidden in the shadows, Tang Hao was utterly speechless.
This was a fucking idiot!
Snake soul beasts did not stop moving even after death, yet this stupid pig had actually dared to run over and touch one.
But seeing this idiot bitten in his vital parts, he instinctively clamped his legs together, a pang of phantom pain shooting through him.
Still, he could not let him keep screaming, or he would wake Tang San, who was absorbing his soul ring.
Tang Hao casually scooped up a piece of ten-year soul beast dung and flung it straight into Yu Xiaogang's mouth.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
His mouth was plugged, but his nose remained exposed. Otherwise, "Gangzi" would have become the first person in the world to be smothered to death by ten-year soul beast dung.
Tang San's soul power climbed steadily. Rank 11, rank 12...
Suddenly, a wisp of grayish-white soul slipped out of the void and silently plunged into his body.
"Pfft!"
Tang San spat blood and lost consciousness.
Tang Hao flashed out in an instant and sent his soul power into Tang San's body, his brows knitting tightly.
The injury was not serious, merely a slight collision of soul power.
But his first soul ring was less than four hundred years old. How could it have backlashed?
His expression grim, Tang Hao turned to glance at Yu Xiaogang beside him, whose face was plastered with pig dung and whose entire body had turned purple and blue. Irritation surged in his heart.
Was this fellow... really reliable?
Xiao San had already taken him as his master. By the rules of the Douluo Continent, a soul master could only take one teacher.
The reason Tang Hao had not stopped Tang San from becoming Yu Xiaogang's disciple was simple.
Although this fellow's martial soul theories were riddled with errors and omissions, he had been with Bibi Dong and knew the cultivation method for twin martial souls.
After all, Tang San was only the third person on the Douluo Continent to possess twin martial souls so far.
Those previous possessors of twin martial souls had cultivated improperly, causing their martial souls to clash when they added soul rings in the later stages, and their bodies had exploded, killing them.
He could not take that risk.
As for Yu Xiaogang's actual abilities?
Tang Hao knew them all too well.
Most of those so-called "Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls" had been copied from the Spirit Hall back then.
What faction with any real foundation did not know that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had produced such a good-for-nothing?
His innate soul power was rank 0.5, his martial soul had mutated into a pig, and he had even bestowed the title of "Grandmaster" upon himself.
This fellow could only fool ordinary people in a place like Nuoding City.
But Tang Hao endured it.
He needed to use Yu Xiaogang as a connection to obtain the twin martial soul cultivation method of Bibi Dong, the Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall.
At that thought, Tang Hao suppressed the emotions churning in his heart and continued using his soul power to smooth out the chaotic soul power within Tang San's body and nourish his injuries.
A short while later, he raised his hand and sent out a strand of soul power, temporarily suppressing the snake venom within Yu Xiaogang's body.
This fellow... could not die yet.
Otherwise, there would be no way to get that twin martial soul cultivation method.
Then he retreated into the shadows.
Before long, Tang San opened his eyes.
His right eye was pitch-black, while his left was half red and half blue.
Two forces tore at each other within the same body.
Tang Hao was behind him and saw none of it.
Within the Spiritual Sea, two identical adult Tang Sans stood facing each other, both dressed in Tang Sect disciple attire.
One had black hair and black eyes; the other had mismatched eyes.
"An inner demon again?!" A silver casket appeared in Tang San's hand.
"No, I am not your inner demon." The Tang San with mismatched eyes-
Or rather, Tang God King-looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar version of himself in bewilderment. Could it be that he had only just been reborn, and his soul had not yet adjusted?
While he was still puzzling over it, a memory suddenly flooded his mind. His expression turned extremely ugly, and his voice went cold.
"This... how is this possible? My body! You... what happened to you?!"
Tang San went rigid, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
Pain and humiliation kept surfacing on his face.
"How is this possible? You actually... something like this actually happened to you?! This body is mine! How did you end up like this...?"
Why had this happened?
Before his rebirth, his father had clearly done nothing but drink and let himself go.
But he had never done anything excessive to her.
Why did this version of himself have such a degrading past?
"Do you think I wanted this?!"
Tang San, who had been trembling all over, abruptly raised his head. His eyes were blood-red, and he looked deranged.
"And this was what I got in return!"
Tang San roared and screamed, as though trying to pour out every last bit of that pain.
Even though he had said he would sever the past, he still found it difficult to do.
Tang God King froze. Looking at his "past self," screaming himself hoarse in utter madness, the disgust in his eyes gradually faded, and he said gravely:
"It has already happened. There is no point dwelling on the past. This body now has two souls. You and I are one. You are too weak. Hand control of the body over to me."
"Why should I?"
"I am your future self. Stronger, more experienced. I have already become a god."
"My future self?"
Tang San sneered. "You became a god? Then why are you here?"
"I hold dual godhood."
"Then why are you here?!"
Silence.
Wasn't it all because of the space-time turbulence? The entire Divine Realm had been unable to withstand it. Even when Life and Destruction fused and unleashed that terrifying power, they had still been unable to stop it.
The entire Divine Realm, and even all the gods, had probably been torn to pieces by the space-time turbulence.
He simply had not expected to have another chance to return.
Yet after returning, he kept feeling that his past self was completely different.
Or rather, this was not his original past.
It was himself from another parallel space-time.
While Tang God King pondered, Tang San's voice became utterly calm.
"You seem able to read my memories. Then you should also know what I have been through?"
"I was violated. I killed the Tang Sect elders in my dreams. I had no soul rings, nothing at all."
"You stand here and say you are stronger than me!"
"But I have struggled for so long, traveled so far, and finally made it here."
"What gives you the right to make me hand everything over?"
Tang God King remained silent for a long time.
"Can you hold on?"
"Whether I can hold on is for me to decide."
Tang San raised his eyes, his gaze blazing as though aflame.
"This body is mine. This path is my own."
"You say you are my future self. Then watch. Watch how far I can go."
Tang God King gazed at him, then smiled faintly after a long while.
"All right. Then, my past self, let us see whether we can change the future."
As the two souls reached an agreement, Tang San fully regained consciousness.
"Since we have another chance, I will plan out all the opportunities in your future for you."
"Our twin martial souls are Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer."
"Blue Silver Grass is not a trash martial soul. It inherited Mother's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and can undergo a second awakening."
"The ranks of the Divine Realm are divided into divine official, third-level god, second-level god, first-level god, god king, and supreme god king."
"I once saw the Genesis Divine Might unleashed jointly by the two god kings, Life and Destruction. If you do not wish to follow my old path, you might take this direction instead."
"Take Blue Silver Grass down the path of ultimate life and awaken it into the Blue Silver Emperor as soon as possible. Do not add any soul rings to the Clear Sky Hammer yet. Wait until the Blue Silver Emperor has been cultivated to Titled Douluo, then add ten-thousand-year soul rings or older all at once. This is the cultivation method for twin martial souls. Although these twin martial souls clash, that can be resolved later through divine power."
"The goal: inherit the dual godhood of the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction."
"Perhaps in the future, you too will be able to display the might of genesis."
Tang San pondered for a moment.
Mother was the Blue Silver Emperor?
The woman whom Father had betrayed, yet kept claiming he missed?
"Wait, take Blue Silver Grass entirely down the path of life? I absorbed a poisonous soul ring."
Tang God King froze. He searched through the memories, and his expression changed drastically.
A Mandala Snake again?!
This was bad!
