"Bastard! I'm your father, your father! I'm the heir to the Plane Master! Why! Why!!!"

Tang Hao screamed uncontrollably. At the thought of losing the supreme positions of father of the Sea God, father of Asura, and Plane Master, he began to fall apart.

All of this should have belonged to me alone! Why should that bastard God of Games take it away?! It's mine! Nobody can take it!

Seeing Tang Hao scream himself hoarse, Tang Shan shrank fearfully into Lin Huan's arms and nuzzled her head against him.

Slap!

The next second, an exceptionally crisp slap rang out. Tang Hao's face jerked to the side, his cheek burning with pain, and bewilderment appeared on his face.

Lin Huan slowly withdrew his hand and stroked Tang Shan, who was trembling in his arms, to soothe her.

"What are you yelling for? You scared the child."

"You!"

After being slapped twice in succession, Tang Hao felt fury surge into his heart and immediately spat out blood. He glared at Lin Huan with a savage expression, unable to squeeze out a single word.

"All right, Little Shan'er, let's go. Someone will come deal with him later."

"Mm, okay, Big Brother Lin Huan. Thank you for saving me."

"It was no trouble."

With that, the two slowly left. Tang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood along with several teeth. That slap had knocked several of his teeth right out.

He watched the two receding figures with unwillingness on his face, but the blood in his throat prevented him from speaking. The taste of rust filled his mouth, making him utterly furious.

Just then, Tang Hao saw Tang Shan, who was resting against Lin Huan's shoulder, slowly raise her head. Her gaze finally settled on him.

Noticing his daughter looking at him, hope rose in Tang Hao's heart again. Could my Little Shan still have some hope for me? At that moment, light shone in Tang Hao's eyes once more.

The little girl Tang Shan rested against Lin Huan's shoulder and looked coldly at Tang Hao, her eyes filled with killing intent. Finally, she made a throat-slitting gesture.

Seeing that gesture, Tang Hao instantly stiffened all over. His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. My own child actually wants to kill me?!

Afterward, Lin Huan and Tang Shan's figures slowly disappeared into the woods, leaving only Tang Hao, who failed to recover his senses for a long time.

While he stood dazed, the surrounding chains vanished without a sound, and several immensely powerful presences rose.

"Found him! Fourth Worship, Tang Hao is here!"

A figure wreathed in ghostly Qi appeared and immediately sent a signal upon discovering Tang Hao.

Bang!

Fireworks exploded overhead. Tang Hao abruptly snapped back to his senses and saw Ghost Douluo, giving him a shock.

"Ghost Douluo!"

But that was not all. Several more figures with powerful presences appeared around him. Following his senses, Tang Hao saw Chrysanthemum Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, and others, all Level 95 existences.

They had already surrounded him. Not long ago, after everyone from Spirit Hall had been resurrected, Qian Renxue had guessed that Tang San and the others might also be here and immediately sent people to search.

Now, they had finally tracked him down here. In an instant, countless immensely powerful presences appeared, their gazes all settling on Tang Hao.

They grew even more excited when they sensed that Tang Hao only had Level 92 or 93 Soul Power.

"Tang Hao! Even you have a day like this!"

"Don't even dream of surviving today!"

Countless Spirit Hall powerhouses surrounded him, including the Level 97 Mighty Lion Douluo.

Surrounded, Tang Hao felt his entire body turn cold, but he could only fight desperately.

"You think you can kill me?! Clear Sky True Body! Ring Detonation!"

With his shout, the Clear Sky Hammer abruptly enlarged, followed by Divine Slaughter's Domain, and his first six Soul Rings exploded with a thunderous roar.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Demon Bear Douluo all attacked, surrounding Tang Hao to kill him. They all unleashed their Martial Soul Avatars, and powerful presences rose from Holy Soul Village.

After detonating six Soul Rings and driving the three back, Tang Hao immediately chose to flee. Just when he thought he could escape, a gigantic golden crocodile appeared.

A Soul Ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red manifested. It was none other than Spirit Hall's Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo!

"Divine Crocodile Tail Swing!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo unleashed his killing move without hesitation, determined to kill him. Sensing mortal danger, Tang Hao immediately detonated his eighth Soul Ring, then unleashed his ninth Soul Skill.

"Ninth Soul Skill! Invincible Golden Buttocks!"

As Tang Hao's ninth Soul Ring shone, golden radiance immediately enveloped the rear of his lower body.

Then Tang Hao abruptly turned around, drew up his legs, and presented his golden buttocks, which gleamed with a golden sheen.

Bewilderment flashed through Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes. His eyes widened, and he looked as though he had seen a ghost. What the fuck kind of skill is this?! This is a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill? Huh?

Bang!

The next instant, the two collided, and the gigantic golden crocodile tail slammed heavily into Tang Hao's golden buttocks.

Boom!

At that instant, Tang Hao shot away like a cannonball, flying straight out of Spirit Hall's encirclement.

"What kind of Soul Skill is that?!"

Seeing this Soul Skill appear, Mighty Lion Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Demon Bear Douluo, who were closing in from nearby, all looked bewildered.

Everyone had broadened their horizons today. There actually existed a localized invincibility skill called Invincible Golden Buttocks.

Invincible Golden Buttocks was a lifesaving skill similar to Invincible Golden Body, capable of blocking attacks below the divine realm for three seconds.

According to unofficial history, when Spirit Hall's Pope Qian Xunji pursued Tang Hao, he was seduced by the latter's beauty and wanted to thrust his great sword inside.

However, Tang Hao's ninth Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Buttocks, snapped it off, allowing him to escape Qian Xunji. The original work did not seem to describe Tang Hao's ninth Soul Skill.

But since he escaped, it had to be a defensive Soul Skill. If a Soft Bone Rabbit could produce an Invincible Golden Body, why couldn't my Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor produce an Invincible Golden Buttocks?

So! Tang Hao escaped Qian Xunji by selling his ass. Perfectly reasonable!

If that wasn't the case, the author would marry Chao Tianxiang. I thought Chao Tianxiang still retained her charms, too~

Meanwhile, in the Douluo Realm, Wu Changkong and Long Bing fell silent as they watched Tang Hao use his ninth Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Buttocks, on the safe.

After watching this Soul Skill, Long Bing immediately covered her eyes, feeling as though they had been subjected to torture, and wailed.

"Are you kidding me?! There's no such Soul Skill as Invincible Golden Buttocks! What kind of genius came up with this Soul Skill?!"

Ling Shen: "You're just scared!"

Wu Changkong also fell silent after watching this Soul Skill, feeling that his eyes had suffered a heavy blow. Honestly, the safe's developer ought to pay them for watching this video.

But now the safe was unlocked. Curious, Wu Changkong reached out and opened it, revealing its contents.

The safe was very empty, containing only one thing. Seeing the otherwise empty interior and that lone thumb-sized object, Wu Changkong's first thought was that he had been scammed.

He reached in and took it out, revealing a gemstone. Looking at such a tiny thing, Wu Changkong sighed.

He sensed no Soul Power fluctuations or spatial fluctuations within it. For now, he had no idea what it did.

Just as he was examining the gemstone, a screen suddenly popped up in front of him.

[Congratulations to the player with the ID East Sea Little Changkong for obtaining the server's first Heart of Africa! A server-wide announcement is hereby issued!]

Then countless horns sounded, and numerous confetti cannons extended from the sides. The cannons sprayed confetti all over East Sea Little Changkong's face, while countless streamers fell over him and buried him.

"Huh? Heart of Africa? Changkong, what did you do?"

Beside him, Long Bing jumped at the sound of the confetti cannons. Turning her head, she saw a pile of streamers and immediately reached in, pushed them aside, and pulled Wu Changkong out.

"I just took this gemstone out..."

Wu Changkong looked at the crystal-clear gemstone in his hand, a question mark appearing over his head. Could this really be some incredible treasure?

The server-wide announcement also rang in countless people's ears. Yun Ming, who had just reunited with Ya Li, along with Mu En, Zang Xin, and the others, all noticed it.

Qiangu Dongfeng and Leng Yaozhu, who were researching divine creations, and Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and the others, who had just returned to Spirit Hall, all noticed the server-wide announcement.

"This Wu Changkong again... He's merely a Soul Saint. How fortunate he is to receive a wish from the God of Games and the commendation of a server-wide announcement."

Qiangu Dongfeng frowned slightly. This Wu Changkong seemed to have appeared twice now, once entering the grand arena and once obtaining this Star of Africa. He really was lucky.

At Shrek Academy, Zhuo Shi broke into a sweat when he saw Wu Changkong featured again. Seriously?! What exactly are you doing?! Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile? Why have you caused such a huge commotion again?

In an instant, Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Long Yeyue all turned their gazes toward Zhuo Shi. Invisible pressure bore down on him, and he hurriedly waved his hands.

"Don't all look at me like that. I don't know where that wayward disciple of mine has gone off to enjoy himself either."

"Tch... Useless!"

Watching Zhuo Shi hastily distance himself from the matter, Long Yeyue cursed irritably. She was still bothered by Shrek's intelligence network having failed to find any trace of Wu Changkong lately.

She immediately sent a message to a certain person. On the other end was the master of the War God Temple, Chen Xinjie.

After receiving Long Yeyue's message, Chen Xinjie could only mobilize the Federation and the War God Temple to begin searching for Wu Changkong.

Then came the matter of Ya Li's return. After hearing what she had experienced, Yun Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu had passed by, or Li'er would have been in danger.

Meanwhile, Guan Yue, Zang Xin, and Xuan Zi had also returned to Shrek Academy. Seeing that Ya Li was all right, Xuan Zi finally sighed in relief.

"Thank goodness little Ya Li is all right... It was all my responsibility. I never expected the Holy Spirit Cult to be so cunning."

Xuan Zi came before Mu En to admit his mistake. Upon hearing that Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui had also appeared, Mu En's expression immediately grew complicated. That truly had been an ill-fated entanglement.

"It wasn't your fault. I never expected the Holy Spirit Cult to dispatch a full four Limit Douluos to ambush and kill little Holy Spirit."

Mu En did not blame Xuan Zi this time. After all, the enemy's lineup of four Limit Douluos really was excessive.

It was only natural that the three Limit Douluos, Guan Yue, Zang Xin, and Xuan Zi, could not defeat four Limit Douluos. Hearing that his martial uncle did not blame him, Xuan Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he promptly forgot entirely about how his own fucking aimless wandering had left Zang Xin, Guan Yue, and Ya Li facing a three-against-four situation.

Sure enough, the grand elder had never disappointed them. Wherever the grand elder marched, not a blade of grass survived.

Now Ya Li, Zang Xin, and Guan Yue were all considerably injured. Their presences were unstable, and they needed rest.

"Ya Li, where are the divine creations?"

Just then, Long Yeyue looked over and pressed her about the god-related quest rewards. Hearing this, Ya Li looked guilty.

"Elder Long, when Dragon Emperor Douluo abducted me, my Soul Tool was stolen. Half the divine creations were taken."

"At the critical moment, Sister-in-law stuffed half the divine creations into my hands. They're all here."

Zang Xin cooperatively took out several things: two thousand Mora, two Primogems, two experience books, and two pieces of mystic enhancement ore.

The four kinds of items immediately flew before everyone. For a moment, all the senior members of the Sea God Pavilion fixed their gazes on these divine creations, greed and longing in their eyes.

After all, these were the products of a living true god. Perhaps they contained the secret to breaking through to the true god level?

"Li'er, it wasn't your fault. You already did wonderfully by preserving half the mysterious creations."

Looking at his guilt-ridden beloved, Yun Ming reached out and stroked her head, soothing her emotions. For Ya Li, a Level 98 Super Douluo, preserving half the divine creations against four Limit Douluos was already wonderful.

What other Level 98 Super Douluo could preserve half the divine creations under such circumstances? Below the Limit, all were ultimately ants.

Only after being comforted did Ya Li feel somewhat less guilty. But just then, an utterly cutting accusation rang out through the room.

"Why didn't you give all the divine creations to Zang Xin at the very beginning? You let half of them be taken by the Holy Spirit Cult!"

As that question fell, everyone was dumbfounded. Yun Ming, Xuan Zi, Mu En, Zang Xin, and Guan Yue's brains all stalled for a moment. The other pavilion elders were much the same, unable to understand Long Yeyue's train of thought.

Seeing Ya Li's stunned expression, Long Yeyue grew furious. Back then, Yun Ming had cost them Guan Yue for this woman's sake.

What use was a Level 98 healing-type Soul Master? Having another Quasi-God-level ultimate combatant like Guan Yue would have been better.

Moreover, Cai Yue'er openly loved Yun Ming and frequently poured out her grievances to her, so Long Yeyue disliked Ya Li intensely. In addition, Ya Li was an outsider who had joined Shrek Academy midway and had never undergone Devil Island's military training, so she looked down on her.

And now, after Ya Li had caused Shrek Academy to suffer the loss of half the divine creations, she was even more furious. This woman really was incapable of accomplishing anything but more than capable of ruining everything!

"Ya Li! Do you know how great a disaster your mistake will cause, letting divine creations fall into the Holy Spirit Cult's hands?"

"If those inherently evil Evil Soul Masters use the divine creations to strengthen themselves, adding several more evil Limit Douluos to this world and causing mass slaughter, what punishment will you deserve?!"

Long Yeyue put Ya Li straight over the fire to roast, pushing every fault onto her. With so many accusations heaped upon her, Ya Li immediately became at a loss.
