"Who are you?!"
Ning Rongrong stared intently at Kong Xuan, her voice trembling slightly, without her even realizing it, and filled with an unprecedented solemnity and disbelief.
A Soul Saint from the lower realm not only saw through her disguise but also revealed her true name; how could she possibly be an ordinary person!
Kong Xuan remained calm and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked, "Who I am is unimportant. What about Tang San?"
Upon hearing this name, Xuan Zi, who was standing to the side, suddenly turned his head to look at Kong Xuan, his pupils contracted sharply, and he even held his breath.
Tang San!
This name represents the core of the original Shrek Seven Monsters at the Shrek Academy, a legend passed down for thousands of years, and the supreme being who ultimately achieved the Dual Godhood of Sea God and Asura God! It is the glorious ancestor who truly guided Shrek's path forward!
Having learned from Ning Rongrong's experience, he did not believe that Kong Xuan was talking nonsense.
Xuan Zi's gaze swept back and forth between the calm Kong Xuan and the obviously flustered Ning Rongrong, wondering what connection Tang San's ancestor had with this place.
On the lake, Ning Rongrong's illusory figure trembled violently once again.
The look in her eyes as she looked at Kong Xuan was no longer just shock, but also carried an indescribable fear.
"He even knows that?!"
This silent cry echoed wildly in her heart, shaking her divine consciousness to the point of almost losing its balance.
The reason she is stuck here in this state is due to Tang San's meticulous planning!
Although the Nine-Colored Goddess was a deity, she was only Second-Level Deity, while the God of Love who fell here was a genuine First-Level God!
Tang San sent this wisp of her spirit down to the mortal realm as an anchor point, which would allow Tang San to more directly intervene in the historical trajectory of the Douluo Continent.
On the other hand, if she can ultimately succeed in stealing or inheriting the position of the God of Love, then Tang San will have an additional First-Level God as a staunch supporter in the Divine Realm, which will undoubtedly greatly consolidate his authority in the Divine Realm.
This was originally a top secret, a plan known to very few even in the Divine Realm, yet now it has been discovered by a mere youth from the lower realm!
Kong Xuan took in her intense reaction. Although he couldn't fully understand what she was thinking, the fear that came from the depths of her soul was undeniable.
He already knew what was going on, and the mocking smile on his lips grew even wider, "You want to know my identity, right? You can ask Tang San; he knows perfectly well."
Kong Xuan's words brought Ning Rongrong's unease to its peak.
She was absolutely certain that the young man before her was not bluffing!
Not only did he know these secrets, but he also showed no respect whatsoever for Tang San, who ruled the Divine Realm and was a God King. Instead, his words were filled with hostility.
However, she had already secretly activated the communication method that Tang San had given her before she descended to the mortal realm. As long as she sent a message, Tang San would be able to sense it instantly.
But a long time has passed, and her message has disappeared without a trace, receiving no response whatsoever!
In the Divine Realm, the Sea God Temple is shrouded in mist, exuding a sense of peace and boundless Divine Power.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were nestled together on the soft cloud couch in the heart of the temple, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.
Xiao Wu gently rested her head on his shoulder, her face radiating happiness and dependence.
However, this tranquility was suddenly shattered.
Tang San's body stiffened abruptly, though the sensation was extremely subtle and brief, but Xiao Wu, who was closely attached to him, immediately and keenly noticed it.
She looked up, her bright eyes filled with concern and confusion. "Third Brother? What's wrong?"
Tang San's eyes momentarily lost focus, as if his thoughts had pierced through layers of space and descended to some distant lower realm.
Just now, he received an urgent, even panicked, plea for help from Ning Rongrong. He also "saw" the situation in the valley.
Having failed to gain the upper hand in both encounters, he developed a deep-seated fear of Kong Xuan.
If he were to forcefully intervene at this moment, the power he could project would be limited, and if he were to be publicly defeated by the other party, he, as a God King, would lose all face.
The lower realm was merely a wisp of Ning Rongrong's spirit; even if it were lost, it wouldn't have a significant impact.
Taking such a huge risk for this slight distraction... is not worth it.
In the blink of an eye, the pros and cons were clearly weighed.
He quickly composed himself, forcing a gentle smile, and patted Xiao Wu's hand reassuringly, "It's nothing, just a slight fluctuation in the Divine Realm Core, it's already subsided."
He chose to ignore it.
He ignored Ning Rongrong's pleas for help and the changes happening in the lower realm that could potentially overturn part of his plans.
When faced with an absolute weighing of pros and cons, the plight of one's companions can be temporarily sacrificed.
This calmness borders on cold-bloodedness.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu felt that her third brother's reaction was unusual, but seeing that he looked normal, she didn't investigate further and snuggled into his arms again.
Tang San maintained a gentle demeanor, but deep within his eyes lay a chilling and solemn expression.
He appeared to still be embracing his lover and enjoying their tenderness, but his hatred for Kong Xuan surged once again.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Kong Xuan destroyed yet another "anchor point" he had set up in the mortal realm.
After their last encounter, Tang San decided to stop making rash moves and instead venture into the Abyss Plane to fight one enemy against another!
However, this Abyss Plane is simply too unreliable. Even though he provided the coordinates, it would still take some time for the other side to connect to the Douluo Continent.
Tang San had already made up his mind; he would help this Abyss Plane again later!
Time ticked by in the suffocating silence, each second an endless torment for Ning Rongrong.
Her attempts to contact the Divine Realm remained unanswered, and Tang San, who was expected to descend with supreme divine power, never appeared.
She couldn't understand why her third brother, who was so shrewd and all-powerful in her eyes, would abandon her.
All she knew was that with her mere wisp of mortal spirit, she had absolutely no chance of winning against this unfathomable young man before her!
Kong Xuan noticed that the last glimmer of hope in her eyes had completely faded, like a candle flickering in the wind, about to go out.
The last bit of uncertainty in his heart vanished— Tang San, as expected, wouldn't be participating.
Since that's the case, there's no need to waste any more time.
A cold smile curved his lips as he leisurely took a step forward.
As he landed, his right hand clenched, and a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from his palm!
The light condensed and transformed into a long staff that flowed with golden radiance.
The long staff appeared ancient, yet mysterious patterns flowed across its surface. The moment it appeared, it exuded a powerful force capable of suppressing all heavens and establishing dominance over the four seas.
This is not the actual Sea-Calming Divine Needle, but merely an image manifested by its power.
However, it has already materialized from the illusory, and the level of energy it exudes is enough to make the laws of this world tremble!
"Buzz!!!"
The long staff trembled slightly, emitting a low hum.
The mere fluctuations from the natural dissipation of energy caused ripples in the surrounding space.
Ning Rongrong's already ethereal figure seemed to become even more ethereal under the pressure of this indescribably powerful energy.
Just then, Kong Xuan looked at the other person and smiled, " Ning Rongrong, you don't want your avatar to be destroyed here, do you?"
