On Sea God Island.
"His Majesty the Sea God must have lost his temper."
Xuan Zi took a bite of his chicken drumstick and chewed solemnly.
"Why do the people from ten thousand years ago keep refusing to choose our world?"
Mu En was frantic, unable to make sense of it no matter how hard he tried.
Yan Shaozhe, meanwhile, looked astonished.
"I never imagined the Divine Realm had someone like the Dragon God, who nearly destroyed it. How powerful must he have been?"
Damn Tang San.
The anger in Di Tian's eyes had yet to fade. He silently swore that the day his lord returned would be the day Tang San died.
In the Human Emperor World.
At the Cloud Sea spectator stands.
Watching Tang Hao refuse to give up, Ah Yin felt anger rise in her chest.
"Shut your filthy mouth."
"My memories haven't been altered."
"You think someone like you can covet me? A toad dreaming of eating swan meat."
"I already have someone. He's ten thousand times better than you. Get lost."
A familiar voice, an unfamiliar attitude.
Merely hearing those words sent waves of pain through Tang Hao's chest, and he pressed his right hand over his heart.
"Father, let it go."
"This isn't our world, and she isn't the mother we know."
Tang San had finally understood and softly tried to console Tang Hao, but inwardly, he felt even more offended and humiliated, hot blood rushing to his head.
Tang Hao's eyes brimmed with bitter anguish.
He had actually anticipated this long ago; he had simply refused to accept it.
But now.
She had made herself so clear. It seemed she truly did not know him, and in this world, his life and Ah Yin's had never intersected.
He could only turn away in silence.
"Senior Ah Yin, before I leave, there's something I want to tell you."
"Giving up on my father will be the greatest regret of your life."
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west-never scorn a youth for being poor!"
Tang San coldly left those words behind and turned away confidently.
Ah Yin's and Bi Ji's expressions soured.
Tang San was still basking inwardly in his own bold declaration.
Suddenly.
Space rippled before him, and a tall, slender golden figure quietly appeared.
"It's the Human Emperor! The Human Emperor is here!"
The crowd erupted, craning their necks to look over.
Ji Xuanyuan stood coldly before them, holding Ah Yin in his arms as his indifferent gaze settled on Tang San.
"Tang San, you certainly talk big!"
Of course, Bibi Dong and those few women were not his only women; they were merely the ones with formal status.
Outside, there were many women like Ah Yin who had not become gods.
Tang San's expression instantly darkened.
He had never expected an offhand remark to offend the Human Emperor.
Watching Ah Yin nestle affectionately in Ji Xuanyuan's arms, Tang Hao felt as though his heart were being viciously torn apart. The pain was unbearable.
Tang San forced down his panic and spoke deferentially.
"Your Majesty, I was merely making an idle remark. I had no intention of offending you..."
"Forget it. I don't want to know. Be more careful in your next life."
Ji Xuanyuan remained calm. He reached out with one hand, and his Soul Power instantly locked around Tang San and lifted him into the air.
"Aah!"
Tang San cried out as pain wracked his entire body.
"San!"
Tang Hao instantly flew into a rage at the sight, but Mu En, standing behind him, held him firmly in place, leaving him unable to move.
He could only glare furiously at the Human Emperor.
"Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!"
"It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"
"San didn't know Ah Yin was your woman. Please, for the sake of him still being a child, spare him this once."
Yu Xiaogang was terrified and flustered. He hurried forward to plead humbly.
Ji Xuanyuan lowered his eyes to him, his tone even.
"You want to plead for him? On what grounds?"
Yu Xiaogang puffed out his chest.
"Your Majesty."
"I was a leading figure in Martial Soul research ten thousand years ago, known to the world as Grandmaster."
"If I step forward to persuade them, I can certainly rally large numbers of cultivators to come to the Human Emperor World. Would you say I'm qualified to secure Tang San's safety?"
Beneath the Sky Screen, the viewers from ten thousand years ago looked bewildered.
"Grandmaster? Who is this guy?"
"I think I've heard of him, but wasn't he a fraud? Wasn't that 'Grandmaster' title meant to mock him? Did he actually take it seriously?"
"That's hilarious. People offered him a couple of polite compliments, and he really took himself for someone important."
Tang San screamed in the Sky Screen.
"But this Human Emperor really means to kill someone. Isn't that too cruel?"
"What's strange about that? If you harassed the Heaven Dou empress and offended the Heaven Dou emperor, would you survive? And the Human Emperor is the emperor of all humanity."
"True."
Under everyone's gaze.
"Your Majesty, my son is ignorant and rash."
"I am willing to pay for his offense with my own life. I only beg you to spare him."
Tang Hao suppressed the hatred filling his heart and humbled himself, pleading desperately.
"You say he's your son."
"Do you know that this son of yours is already thirty-six years old?"
Ji Xuanyuan spoke indifferently.
"What?"
Tang Hao's mind went blank, and he froze on the spot.
Tang San's pupils abruptly contracted, and towering waves surged through his heart.
Thirty-six!
If I add the twenty-four years of my previous life, I'm exactly thirty-six.
Could he have seen through the fact that I'm a transmigrator?
Impossible!
This is my most deeply buried secret. The Human Emperor couldn't possibly know.
"San! What exactly is going on?"
Tang Hao's emotions churned, and his voice trembled.
Seeing the flash of panic across Tang San's face, he began to panic as well.
"Father, don't believe his lies! I'm only twelve! I'm your son!"
Ji Xuanyuan ignored his defense and spoke as he walked.
"Countless worlds exist across the heavens and myriad realms."
"A person from one world can also come to a different world."
Those two brief sentences made Tang Hao's heart sink heavily, and a powerful sense of foreboding arose within him.
Beside him, Yu Xiaogang stared at Tang San in a daze.
Ning Fengzhi and the others were too nervous to speak, afraid of interrupting the Human Emperor.
"In one such world, there was a sect called the Shu Central Tang Sect."
"A disciple stole the sect's supreme techniques and fell off a cliff after his deed was exposed."
"He accidentally passed through a Plane Rift and seized the body of a newborn infant in this world."
"Like a plum tree dying in a peach tree's place, he took over a life that originally belonged to someone else."
Tang San's eyes trembled violently, and his composure shattered.
He really knows!
How is that possible?
It's over. My greatest secret has been exposed in public, just like that.
"Slander! You made all of this up out of thin air!"
"Father, don't believe him! He's lying to you!"
Tang San fiercely denied it, panic in his voice.
But Tang Hao, facing him, had already fallen completely silent.
He gave a bitter smile.
As he recalled the past dozen years and more, every suspicious detail rose to the surface.
All those physical training techniques, all that knowledge of Immortal Herbs.
Mastered without a teacher.
Before, without the concept of parallel worlds, he had never considered such a possibility.
Now, even parallel worlds had appeared.
Tang Hao needed only to think a little to notice what was wrong.
The truth was this.
The son he had loved and protected for over a decade had never truly been his own flesh and blood.
Instead, he was an adult several decades old!
Tang Hao forced a bitter smile, his eyes reddening.
"May I ask, Human Emperor."
"Where did my real child go?"
"He died, of course."
"The moment he transmigrated and seized the body, its original owner's soul instantly collapsed, scattered into oblivion."
Those words shattered the last of Tang Hao's composure.
Before you continue
