The Core Circle the Star Dou Great Forest Lake of Life.
The lake water is as clear as a flawless piece of jade, tranquil and still, reflecting the towering ancient trees and the misty, spiritual atmosphere surrounding it.
Wang Dong sat by the lake, his hands supporting his chin, his eyes somewhat vacant.
When he first arrived here, the ever-present sense of terror around him had terrified him, but now he seemed to have developed a kind of numbness about it.
He couldn't help but steal a glance at the figure sitting calmly not far away, like a rock, which was none other than the Beast God Di Tian.
The other party brought him here, but neither interrogated nor dealt with him; they just left him hanging like this, which made him feel very uneasy and anxious.
This unresolved wait is more agonizing than a direct threat.
Just as his thoughts were in turmoil, Di Tian, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his golden eyes and slowly stood up.
Wang Dong's heart skipped a beat, and he followed Di Tian's gaze.
Two streaks of light appeared in the sky and landed gracefully on the Lake of Life, in front of Di Tian.
When Wang Dong saw the person's face clearly, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He knew these two people!
One of them is none other than the current Master of the Spirit Pagoda, the Heaven-Equal Douluo Kong Xuan.
He also recognized the other figure with silver hair and purple eyes; it was Gu Yuena, who had once studied at Shrek Academy as an exchange student.
The message that had circulated at the Shrek Academy flashed through Wang Dong's mind.
Gu Yuena has a mysterious background, and her family has a deep connection with the Ferocious Beast in the Core Circle Star Dou Great Forest.
Seeing her appear with Kong Xuan in this forbidden area for Soul Master, a thought instantly arose in his mind, "Could it be that the academy specifically asked them to come and rescue me?"
However, before the slight excitement brought on by this thought could spread, what happened the next second left him stunned, so shocked that he almost forgot to breathe.
The Beast God Di Tian bowed slightly to Kong Xuan and Gu Yuena, who had just landed, and respectfully greeted them, "My Lord."
Lord?!
Wang Dong's mind went blank for a moment. He had been wondering who this person was who the Beast God Di Tian addressed as "Master."
He figured it must be an even more powerful Ferocious Beast hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest.
But he never expected that the answer would appear so quickly and so abruptly.
Furthermore, which of the two individuals did Di Tian bow to?
His gaze shifted uncertainly between the calm-looking Kong Xuan and the aloof Gu Yuena.
Then, Wang Dong saw Gu Yuena nod slightly to Di Tian, and the answer to his question finally came to him.
This silver-haired, purple-eyed girl is none other than the "Lord" who commands countless Soul Beast in the Star Dou and commands the Beast God Di Tian to bow down and submit!
He had just stood up when he saw Kong Xuan and Gu Yuena walking towards him side by side. The excitement he had felt at the arrival of reinforcements had vanished, replaced by a chilling feeling and an indescribable complexity.
Gu Yuena is the supreme ruler of the Soul Beast, so how could she be someone the academy invited to rescue him?
The two stopped in front of him, and after they stood still, it was Kong Xuan who spoke first.
His voice was steady, as if he had already read Wang Dong's mind, "I know you have many questions on your mind right now, and I will give you the answers."
"The one who appeared before you earlier, intending to attack the Auspicious Beast beast, is none other than Sea God Tang San became a god ten thousand years ago and now wields power over the Divine Realm."
Kong Xuan paused briefly, then uttered an even more impactful statement.
"And he has another identity."
He is your... biological father.
boom!!!
Wang Dong felt a buzzing in his head, his eyes widened uncontrollably, his pupils contracted sharply, and all his expressions froze on his face, leaving only pure, unbelievable shock.
Father?
That Shrek ancestor, that legendary figure... was his father?
The news was too absurd and too sudden, like a heavy hammer shattering all his past understanding.
However, amidst the shock, some fragments began to piece themselves together involuntarily.
When I first met that person, I felt an inexplicable, blood-connected closeness deep within my soul.
The Clear Sky Sect, from which he himself came, was the very sect to which Tang San belonged back then.
And then there are the extraordinary talents and secrets within myself...
Despite the intense emotional resistance, the strings of reason had been plucked, and a cold, hard truth gradually surfaced.
What Kong Xuan said is probably true.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out; he just stared at Kong Xuan, his face pale.
Seeing the ever-changing expression on Wang Dong's face, Kong Xuan gave him a moment to process this revolutionary information.
Then he continued, "If you have any doubts, you might as well ask your 'father' yourself after you return to the Clear Sky Sect."
Wang Dong's slender eyebrows were tightly furrowed; he didn't see any reason for Kong Xuan to deceive him.
But then he realized something, and his gaze involuntarily swept over Di Tian and Gu Yuena, who were standing silently to the side. His voice carried a hint of uncertainty. "You... will let me leave?"
Gu Yuena replied, "I never intended to take your life."
Wang Dong's eyes flickered slightly, his mind racing.
Is it because he fears his " God King father's" identity?
However, Kong Xuan then said, "I think you should be more concerned with his purpose in showing himself than with who he is."
Wang Dong understood, of course, that the "he" Kong Xuan was referring to was Tang San.
In his memory, his parents were a blank, a distant and vague concept.
At this moment, this "father" suddenly barged into his world.
After Kong Xuan said that, many questions arose in his mind.
Yes, why would that high and mighty God King father appear at this time? And why would he attack the Auspicious Beast?
The reason you have no memory of your parents.
"It's because your existing soul itself is incomplete."
Kong Xuan's next words immediately caught Wang Dong's attention.
His large, light blue eyes stared intently at Kong Xuan, their depths churning with turbulent emotions.
Kong Xuan did not pause, continuing to unveil the bloody veil in a calm yet almost cruel tone.
"And the one who personally shattered your complete soul in two, causing this incompleteness... was none other than your own father, the Sea God Tang San."
Wang Dong's pupils contracted sharply, his body swayed almost imperceptibly, and his pinkish-blue eyes trembled violently, filled with horror.
Kong Xuan ignored the fleeting glint in his eyes, showing no pity whatsoever, and continued, "The other half of your soul is currently sealed deep within the Sea of Consciousness of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the auspicious beast of the Emperor Auspicious Beast."
" Tang San's elaborate scheme back then was to complete his secret plan, turning you and the Auspicious Beast into pawns on his chessboard."
"His divine will this time is precisely to forcibly extract your other half of the sealed soul from the Auspicious Beast's body."
At this point, Kong Xuan's tone became slightly more serious. "Once the two halves of the soul are forcibly merged under his guidance, the one born will naturally be Tang San's daughter Tang Wutong, and no longer you, Wang Dong."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lake of Life fell into a deathly silence, broken only by the rustling of the leaves in the wind.
Wang Dong's body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, starting with his fingertips and then spreading to his arms and shoulders.
His face was as pale as paper, and his lips were tightly pressed together.
What Kong Xuan said was too shocking and too unbelievable, leaving him momentarily at a loss for words!
