As the Sea God Pavilion Meeting began, the most obvious thing was that two people's eyes were red and swollen from crying.
One was Cai Mei'er, Yan Shaozhe's wife. The other was Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er's husband.
Of course, as for those two, Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er had essentially each found someone to settle for.
After Zhang Lexuan finished her report,
Mu En sensed that something was amiss. The man hadn't even shown his Martial Soul? And he was male.
Judging by those methods, it couldn't have been Ye Xishui. Could an even stronger Level 98 or Limit Douluo Evil Soul Master have appeared?
As the thought crossed Mu En's mind, he felt that the entire continent's skies were about to change. An Evil Soul Master this powerful...
"Duoduo, Mei'er, you two will serve as acting deans for now. As for those two, tell the outside world that they've entered seclusion to attempt a breakthrough."
Mu En spoke helplessly, and the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion nodded at his words.
After all, Shrek's two deans had both fallen on the same day.
The news was simply too shocking. Shrek also contacted the Star Luo Imperial Family and asked them to suppress it.
The Star Luo Imperial Family ultimately took the suggestion, but regarding that Evil Soul Master's strength, they still said that even the reinforcements they had sent at the time had been unable to do anything to him.
They also needed to speak with the other two empires and make them take the matter of Electrolux seriously.
As for Dai Hao, he had been so furious that he fainted on the spot.
Dai Yueheng, the only heir he recognized, was dead.
How could he not be furious?
Yet even as he raged, Dai Hao seemed unable to keep his gaze from turning toward the Zhu Family.
Perhaps there was another chance to marry into the family again?
As he thought about it...
In the Divine Realm...
A soft halo of light, like a mother's hand, gently caressed the delicate skin of the clouds and mist. The illusory space possessed an unusually captivating sense of substance.
Amid the swirling clouds stood a figure in azure divine armor, looking down at the lower realm.
That's right, it was none other than the pure and spotless God of Law Enforcement King Tang San, who held the Dual Godhood of Asura God and Sea God.
He always wore that hypocritical smile, but now his expression had frozen completely, and disbelief flickered in his eyes.
For he had discovered that the rising child of fortune on the Douluo Continent
had actually... died!?
To be precise, what he had locked onto was Huo Yuhao's soul.
But now he could no longer sense the soul of the original body.
Under these circumstances, Tang San began to mutter, as though doubting himself.
"Impossible. I only made him suffer a little more."
In Tang San's plans, his dog-training program hadn't even officially begun.
He had merely made Huo Yuhao's childhood more miserable out of a little jealousy.
Yet now he sensed that the boy seemed to have died?
The soul that carried that fortune was already on the verge of fading away completely.
This completely overturned God King Tang's understanding.
How was that possible?
All he wanted was for Huo Yuhao to obediently be his dog. He hadn't wanted him dead.
And if the boy died, what would become of his plan to seize power in the Divine Realm?
Was he supposed to rely on those worthless companions who had ascended?
What a joke!
No, he absolutely couldn't let this child of fortune fall just like that.
Though he couldn't see clearly what had happened to that trajectory, and hadn't yet found a legitimate reason,
the God of Destruction would inevitably come looking to make trouble for him again.
Just thinking of him made Tang San grind his teeth with hatred.
He was already a God King. Why should he still have to follow any damn rules?
Why were there so many rules?
As he cursed inwardly,
a thought stirred, and God King Tang finally pulled back the child of fortune's soul, which had been on the verge of scattering completely.
Looking at that golden ball of soul light,
at Huo Yuhao's soul, whose consciousness was on the verge of fading, God King Tang instinctively took a look inside.
The earlier memories were all normal, until a certain point, when he discovered that the boy's soul seemed to have been forcibly torn from his body in an instant.
This left God King Tang completely stunned.
After all, even when he himself had transmigrated, although he had likewise displaced the original body's soul,
the original body had clearly still been young then, and God King Tang also stubbornly believed that the original body's soul and such shouldn't have existed in the first place.
But now that it had happened to him, he was somewhat unwilling to accept it.
"Could there be a heretic?"
This made God King Tang even more curious. He first wanted to intervene directly in the lower realm, but he had no good reason.
So he could only suppress his curiosity for the time being. Besides, now that the child of fortune's soul was already in his hands,
he would use a few tricks to make the boy obediently become his dog.
And so, God King Tang directly erased all memories of Huo Yuhao's previous experiences.
In their place, he implanted memories of an identity as a Tang Sect disciple.
But if he wanted to revive him in the Divine Realm, it would be troublesome to send him back to the lower realm afterward without the excuse that he was being playful or was his own child, and without the shackles of a bloodline.
That, too, would be a troublesome matter.
So, after implanting the memories, God King Tang began contacting one of his trump cards.
That was Ah Yin, who had now become the Golden Tree and had begun gradually eroding the origin of the Douluo Continent Plane.
After Ah Yin was summoned by Tang San,
Tang San sent Huo Yuhao's soul down to her and began instructing his mother.
"Mother, revive this child."
Ah Yin was somewhat puzzled when she heard this, because she could sense that Huo Yuhao's soul seemed a little strange. But this was her son's command.
After a brief hesitation, the warm golden light of the Golden Tree flashed and briefly merged with a jade-green light.
Swiftly, almost too fast for an ordinary Soul Master to see,
it quietly moved away from the Sea God Pavilion.
In an obscure place, Ah Yin began drawing on a portion of the power of the Douluo Plane's origin of life.
And beneath the jade-green origin of life that enveloped it,
with the Golden Tree's help, it instantly formed something like a cocoon.
Before long, a young figure slowly emerged from the cocoon.
If Huo Yuhao had been here, he would have felt a wave of disorientation, because this person's face was seventy percent similar to his.
As for the remaining thirty percent, it looked more like Ah Yin.
Afterward, Ah Yin's will left the place.
And the figure? Only after an unknown amount of time did he open his eyes again and look at everything around him.
Sensing the memories in his mind, he murmured in a somewhat disbelieving voice,
"My name is... Tang Yuhao?"
As he spoke, he moved almost instinctively with a thought, and his Martial Soul appeared. Thanks to Ah Yin's help, it was none other than the Blue Silver Emperor, the same as the God King's.
Then, after taking a deep breath, Tang Yuhao spoke with determination.
"I will restore the Tang Sect to glory!"
Up in the Divine Realm, God King Tang watched it all and nodded in satisfaction.
[P.S.: Don't doubt it. Tang Yuhao is the soul of the original body, Huo Yuhao. As for the child of fortune's fate, it followed the soul and was revived along with it.]
