Past time and space.
At the foot of the Clear Sky Sect Mountain.
Yu Xiaogang, with Tang San and Xiao Wu under Zhao Wuji's escort, successfully arrived.
They also saw what was being shown on the Heavenly Screen.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly remarked, " Xiao San, I have to tell you the truth."
"Teacher, please say so."
"I used to think that it would be amazing if you could cultivate to the Titled Douluo in the future," Yu Xiaogang said earnestly. " Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power —you'd be a genius seen only once in a century on the continent. If I, Yu Xiaogang, can teach even one Titled Douluo in my lifetime, then my life won't have been in vain."
He paused, shook his head, and chuckled, "But when the Heavenly Screen played it, wow, the Sea God wasn't enough, Asura God came to snatch it too. The two gods were scheming against each other for you, one passing on his divine position first, the other tripping you up later. That's when I realized I had underestimated you."
Tang San touched his nose, a little embarrassed. "Teacher, that's for the future. I'm only level 32 now."
"So what if you're level 32?" Xiao Wu chimed in, displeased. "Brother, you're level 32 now, you'll definitely get even stronger in the future! Two gods are fighting over you, which means you have great talent! That Asura God even secretly summoned the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess to resurrect you, which shows how much he values you!"
Zhao Wuji, who had been listening for a while, finally interjected, " Grandmaster, do you think Asura God's actions were excessive? He stopped the Sea God to share the punishment in order to snatch Tang San. If this happened in our Soul Master World, it would be considered breaking the rules."
Yu Xiaogang glanced at him, his tone indifferent. "Excessive? That's a matter for the Divine Realm, what does it have to do with us? All we need to know is that without the Asura God's actions, the future Tang San wouldn't have woken up. The future Shrek, the future Heaven Dou Star Luo Empire, would all have been crushed by the Spirit Hall Empire."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over Tang San and Xiao Wu before finally settling on Zhao Wuji's face. "Besides, the Spirit Hall's own actions are unpopular. Even the gods couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to help us. That proves the Spirit Hall deserves to perish."
Zhao Wuji opened his mouth, thought for a moment, and nodded. "That's true. The Spirit Hall has indeed done a lot of trouble over the years."
Tang San paused for a moment.
He had no comment on the actions of the Asura God.
The Asura God in the Heavenly Screen did indeed help him, and also helped Shrek.
As for the feud between the Asura God and the Sea God, that's a matter between gods, and has nothing to do with a twelve-year-old Soul Master like him.
He only knew one thing: the future version of himself in the Heavenly Screen was killed, and it was the Asura God who managed to resurrect him.
"Teacher, let's go up the mountain." Tang San snapped out of his thoughts and looked up at the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate. "It's almost dark."
"Let's go, let's go." Zhao Wuji stood up, dusting off his backside. "This godforsaken place doesn't even have a proper road. Aren't the people from the Clear Sky Sect tired living so high up?"
The four people walked up the mountain.
The mountain path is steep, with thousands of stone steps, and cliffs on both sides.
Xiao Wu walked at the front, skipping and hopping, not tired at all.
Halfway up the mountain, several young men dressed in gray cloth shorts suddenly appeared on the mountain path, carrying iron hammers. They jumped out from behind the rocks and blocked the way.
"Halt! Who goes there?" The young man leading the group was in his early twenties, with a buzz cut, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. He slammed his hammer down on the ground, breaking two pieces of the stone steps.
Yu Xiaogang quickly stepped forward. "I am Yu Xiaogang, this is Zhao Wuji, we are..."
" Yu Xiaogang?" The man with the buzz cut paused, looked him up and down, then his eyes widened suddenly. "You're Yu Xiaogang? The Yu Xiaogang from the Heavenly Screen? Yu Xiaogang, the teacher of Sea God Tang San?"
Yu Xiaogang: "... Yes, that's me."
The man with the buzz cut suddenly turned to look at Tang San and Xiao Wu. His gaze lingered on Tang San's face for two seconds before shifting to Xiao Wu's. Then, he seemed to have been struck by lightning, and his whole body trembled.
"Tang... Tang San? Sea God Tang San? And that... that Asura God Xiao Wu?" His voice cracked, and he almost dropped the iron hammer in his hand.
The other young men nearby also realized what was happening, their eyes widening in disbelief.
"Holy crap! Really? That Tang San on the Heavenly Screen?"
"Look at that little girl next to him, that must be Asura God Xiao Wu from the Heavenly Screen!"
" Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang! Zhao Wuji! I've seen them in the Heavenly Screen; they always appear next to Tang San and the others!"
"Go tell the sect leader immediately! Go now!"
The man with the buzz cut grabbed a junior brother and shoved him up the mountain. "Run! Run! Tell the sect leader, Tang San is here! The future Sea God is here! The future Asura God is here too! And Grandmaster! Zhao Wuji is here too!"
The junior disciple was pushed and stumbled, then took off running up the mountain faster than a rabbit, shouting as he ran, "Sect Master! Sect Master! Tang San is here! The future Sea God is here..."
The man with the buzz cut turned his head to look at Tang San, his expression slowly changing from shock to excitement, and then from excitement to helplessness.
He threw the hammer on the ground, rubbed his hands together, and after a long pause, finally managed to say, "Um... Lord Sea God, and Asura God... would you like some water first?"
Tang San: "..."
Xiao Wu chuckled beside her.
"Cough cough..."
"My friend, we are unworthy of the title of gods; even if we were, that would be a matter for the future..."
"Right now, Xiao Wu and I are just minor Soul Elder!"
"No need to be so polite!"
"Besides, I also come from the Clear Sky Sect, so I'm considered a member of the Clear Sky Sect!"
Tang San smiled awkwardly and then began to explain.
"Really? You're really from the Clear Sky Sect?"
The man with the buzz cut looked excited, as did several Clear Sky Sect disciples beside him.
Although when they saw Heavenly Screen one of Tang San's Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, they also guessed that Tang San was a member of their Clear Sky Sect.
However, none of the younger generation in their sect were named Tang San, nor did they possess Twin Martial Souls, so no one dared to claim him as Tang San.
Now that's good, Tang San himself has said that he is a member of the Clear Sky Sect.
Their Clear Sky Sect has unexpectedly produced a god in the future.
"Where are they? Where are the Tang San?"
Not long after, a group of people came down from the mountain.
Leading the group was Tang Xiao, the sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, along with several other elders.
Tang Xiao was the most excited.
From the moment he saw Tang San on the Heavenly Screen, he knew that Tang San must be his nephew, the child of Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
The age, Martial Soul, and talent all match up; besides Tang Hao and Ah Yin's child, whose could it be?
Soon, Tang Xiao's gaze fell on Tang San.
" Tang San, you're here! That's wonderful!"
Where is your father? I haven't seen him.
Tang Xiao immediately came to Tang San and looked at Tang San excitedly, then looked around for Tang Hao.
He assumed that since Tang San had come, Tang Hao must have come back with him.
However, Tang Hao didn't see her; he saw Xiao Wu first.
Tang Xiao was immediately jolted.
