Story Role / Major Arcs
Eternal Ice Crystal Pursuit
Tang San, already a God King, pursues the Eternal Ice Crystal after it enters the Douluo God Realm. He uses his trident, the God Realm Central Key, and the Asura Demonic Sword to contain it, but Dong Minghui detonates the crystal’s power and freezes Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the surrounding sky. 1
Search for a Successor
After learning that Minghui is the reincarnation of an Old God, Tang San sees him as a possible heir to the Sea God’s mantle. He also considers this succession a way to reduce his own burdens as God King. 22
Lower-Realm Interference
Tang San repeatedly monitors and interferes with lower-realm cultivation. He supervises Huo Yuhao’s harsh training, uses loopholes in God Realm rules to test Minghui, and tries to control whether Minghui aligns with the God of Destruction. 254 260 264
Minghui counters Tang San’s divine clone by borrowing power from several gods. After further setbacks, Tang San offers Minghui succession to his divine seat, but frames the offer through additional trials. 265 266
Punishment and Imprisonment
The God of Destruction first suspends Tang San for unauthorized lower-realm interference, confiscating the God Realm Central Key. 259 Following Tang San’s trials of Minghui, Destruction challenges him beyond the God Realm barrier and the God Realm Assembly strips Tang San of his Asura Godhood. 297 298 299
Tang San calmly accepts being taken to the Forbidden God Zone by the God of Destruction and Ji Dong. 303
Final Conflict with Minghui
Despite his imprisonment, Tang San later clashes directly with Minghui during a major God Realm conflict. He attempts to self-destruct his godhood, repeatedly invokes Invincible Golden Body, and is ultimately overwhelmed, captured by the gods, and left to face Minghui. 320 321
