Well Done

Bao Liang stopped the conversation from going off-topic and asked the Plane Consciousness, "Little V, I have a question for you."

"You asked."

Bao Liang pointed at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and said, "Tang San stuffed a third of his daughter's soul fragment into this child's brain, and the Sea God's Power on that fragment is quite strong. Could that bastard Tang San see or even find this place through this soul fragment?"

No sooner had Bao Liang finished speaking than the Three-Eyed Golden Lion exploded, before the Plane Consciousness could even process the gravity of the situation.

"Wait a minute! What do you mean my brain was stuffed with another soul by that Tang San guy? Explain yourself!"

Bao Liang held down the Three-Eyed Golden Lion that was about to pounce on him with one hand and said calmly, "To put it simply, Tang San, that shameless god, took your Soul Beast luck and arranged for the Chosen One to contact you, wanting to transfer another soul fragment that was stuffed into the Chosen One's body into you. After subtly influencing you, he would then arrange for you to Sacrifice yourself."

"As a result, when the Attribute Guidance was about to begin, Di Tian interrupted him. That brat Tang San got impatient and forced the last piece of the attribute into his hand, waiting for you to be influenced and transformed in the future to Sacrifice yourself to the Chosen One in the human world."

"Once you Sacrifice to the Chosen One, the fortune of the Soul Beast you represent will become Tang San's possession. Do you understand now?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion instantly looked as if it had lost its parents, and its golden fur seemed to have lost all its color at this moment because of Bao Liang's words.

But Bao Liang's next words rekindled the flame of hope in the heart of this Emperor Auspicious Beast.

Bao Liang patted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head. "Don't worry, since your master Di Tian have sold you to me, you are now my child."

"My son can do whatever he wants. If anyone dares to mess with him, I'll kill them!"

"You..."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was deeply moved, but still let out a soft snort and turned its head away, though it didn't reject Bao Liang's caress. "Who... who's your child? You bad guy."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm a bad guy, I'm a super bad guy."

Bao Liang smiled but remained silent.

To be honest, he really liked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. After all, who wouldn't love a soft, cuddly, and pettable golden retriever? He wondered how much fun it would be to have one in the winter.

At that moment, the Plane Consciousness and the Golden Tree finished their discussion of the question Bao Liang just asked.

"Godfather, after discussions and experiments with Old Huang, we discovered that that shameless Tang San has no way of observing us through the soul fragment inside the little Auspicious Beast."

"So, let's just relax and talk about our own things."

Bao Liang nodded, feeling relieved. "But Little V, why do you call me godfather? I haven't done anything to you, have I?"

"Why not?"

The Plane Consciousness immediately panicked; this was her adoptive father who had saved her from dire straits.

"You are the Power of Creation the universe on Douluo Star, while I am the Plane Consciousness of this Douluo Star. After you achieved your goal, I benefited from it. You killed Tang Hao with one elbow and saved Old Huang. If you are not my godfather, then who is?"

"By the way, Godfather, you should still remember that you weren't originally from the Douluo Continent, right?"

Bao Liang nodded in agreement, Plane Consciousness smoothly continued the conversation, "Your arrival was my doing."

"I was weakened because of Tang San and the others' ascension. Originally, they were supposed to nourish my Plane Consciousness after their ascension, but they didn't. That bastard Tang San even set his sights on the entire Douluo Star, wanting to turn it into his Tang Family Continent."

"I had no choice but to prepare the 'Chosen One' card for one last gamble, but I got elbowed by that bastard Tang Hao."

"Because of Tang Hao's mistake, I failed to stop Tang San from attacking the Chosen One, and he marked the Chosen One and his mother."

"But it was at this moment that you arrived."

"When you arrived, you were accompanied by a strong dragon aura and the protection of a higher plane. Tang San Tang Hao suffered severe backlash after trying to stop you from arriving."

"Then I thought this was an opportunity, so I reassembled your physical body and used my last bit of luck to cover up your existence, trying to prevent Tang San and Tang Hao from discovering you."

"But to my surprise, right after I finished concealing your existence, I discovered that even my Plane Consciousness couldn't find any trace of you."

"Furthermore, you had the protection of a higher plane at the time, so there was really nothing we could do."

"Furthermore, after it was all done, you were considered a chosen one, so I added a few more programs to the world--"

"First, when the chosen one faces life or death, a benefactor will surely protect him; second, the chosen one will definitely awaken his Martial Soul at the age of six; third, the chosen one will definitely have profound blessings, but these blessings will inevitably be intertwined with misfortune; fourth, the chosen one will definitely undergo a transformation and sublimation of his soul and life."

"This is the passive underlying code of the world that I set up to prevent anything from happening to you and the original Chosen One."

"The kind of change that Tang San couldn't possibly make even if he wanted to!"

"I see..."

Bao Liang also understood why, when he happened to fall into the Evil Demon Forest and was about to be devoured like a piece of bread by an Evil Eye, a woman with extraordinary power saved his life by sheer coincidence. He also understood why his life had been so smooth afterward.

"Wait a minute, something's not right..."

Suddenly, Bao Liang noticed a blind spot, "Isn't the third rule supposed to be that fortune and misfortune are intertwined? I feel like I'm all fortune and no misfortune. Could Tang San have tampered with yours?"

Upon hearing Bao Liang's question, the Plane Consciousness remained unfazed. "Hmph, is that all? I was the one who did it."

"I'm shifting the blame for what should have been yours, Godfather, onto another chosen one. Otherwise, why would I call him the original chosen one?"

"... Well done."

Bao Liang sincerely praised him.

Bao Liang was afraid that Tang San would be able to modify the underlying code, but fortunately, it was the Plane Consciousness that did it.

But a new question arises: why did the Plane Consciousness act so decisively?

What made her finally decide to take action?

"On another note, how did my attainment of the Power of Creation help you? And why did you choose to abandon Huo Yuhao?"

The Plane Consciousness organized its thoughts and said, "Because of the underlying logic, I helped you conceal Tang San and Tang Hao's search, which also counts as being among the benefactors, receiving a return of fortune."

"Furthermore, since I was the one who restored your body, and you Power of Creation on Douluo Star, I naturally benefited from it."

"As for why I gave up on Huo Yuhao..."

The Plane Consciousness hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to speak.

"Actually, Godfather... I can see the timeline of an era and manipulate key moments to alter their fate."

"This is why the Emperor Auspicious Beast possesses the Eye of Destiny, and why the Child of Fortune is protected by destiny; because the Emperor Auspicious Beast and the Child of Fortune are actually children of my Plane Consciousness."

"To truly tell this story, we have to go back ten thousand years..."
