Chapter 1 (rewritten)
**Chapter 1**
The air in Qiankun Wenqing Valley was thick with smoke. Huo Yuhao and his companions, visiting for the first time, could hardly contain their excitement.
But at this moment, Huo Yuhao had no idea of the fate that awaited him—that soon, Tang San's sinister hand would reach across the Douluo Continent, targeting him directly.
He couldn't possibly imagine the trials he would face: forced to rescue the White Tiger Duke against his will, beaten mercilessly by Tang San, and finally, the woman he loved most, Wang Dong'er, nearly driven to death by Tang San in the Valley of Love. These ordeals, which would push him to the brink, were yet unknown to him as he pressed forward with his friends into the valley.

Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm,
Tang San, having successfully dismissed the God of Destruction, was now ready to enact his plan. For a long time, he had been observing Douluo Continent with his divine senses, and a cold smile formed on his face as he watched Huo Yuhao and his companions approach the central area of Qiankun Valley.
"Finally, the day has come."
"The day I tame the Son of Destiny of Douluo Continent."
He grinned, the divine power within him beginning to surge. Tang San had meticulously planned his approach to "tame" Huo Yuhao, fully confident he could break him down step by step. The time had arrived to put his plan into motion, just as he had done in the original story.
But just as he was about to act, an unexpected event occurred.
Suddenly, a deafening sound echoed across the sky.
With that sound, a massive black hole appeared overhead, and two gigantic black claws emerged, ripping the hole wider with a force that shook the heavens.
The black hole expanded rapidly, growing larger than the entire Douluo God Realm in seconds. An overwhelming suction force began pulling everything into its void.
Tang San instantly summoned his divine power to resist, but his efforts were in vain.
In the next moment, he, the entire Divine Realm, and even Douluo Star with all its inhabitants were pulled into the black hole.
Everyone awoke from unconsciousness, dazed. As they opened their eyes, they found themselves in a world they had never seen before.
The sky above was pitch black, illuminated only by two suns—one blue and one red—that cast their respective glows across the landscape.
Above them hung two colossal screens, one bordered in blue and the other in red.

[Ding! Congratulations, everyone! You have successfully arrived at the space between planes.]
[From here, you will be able to witness everything happening in both the original world and the parallel world.]
[Ding! The comparison live broadcast room is now open!]
[The screens will display the life of Huo Yuhao, the Son of Destiny, in Douluo World and Parallel Douluo World.]
[The red-bordered screen on the left shows Huo Yuhao from this world, while the blue-bordered screen on the right shows Huo Yuhao from the parallel world.]
[All offensive actions are prohibited during the broadcast.]
[Interactive quizzes with rewards will occur throughout the broadcast. Prizes include, but are not limited to, soul rings, soul bones, martial skills, and godhood rewards.]
[The chat room is now open, and user profiles are being synchronized.]
A mysterious voice resonated in everyone's minds. People exchanged astonished glances, processing the information they had just heard.

"A space between planes? A parallel world? What does this all mean?"
"Did you hear that too? A gap between planes and parallel worlds?"
The people scattered throughout the strange realm quickly began speaking in the chat room to confirm the safety of their loved ones, filling the chat room with lively activity.
They also discovered that their names and identities were displayed when they chatted.
At first, no one paid it much attention, as everyone assumed their own identity was normal. But then, a highly recognizable name appeared, drawing everyone's attention.
---
[Seagod Tang San]: Xiao Wu, are you there?
[Xiao Wu, the Asura Sword Sheath]: Third Brother, I'm here.
[Seagod Tang San]: Are you okay?
[Xiao Wu, the Asura Sword Sheath]: Yes, Third Brother, I'm fine.
[Seagod Tang San]: Good. Use your divine power, and I'll locate you through my divine sense. Once I sense it, I'll come to you.
[Xiao Wu, the Asura Sword Sheath]: Understood, Third Brother.

After this brief exchange, everyone from Douluo Star fell into shocked silence.
"Tang San? Xiao Wu? Could it be that the legendary Master Tang San, who saved Douluo Continent from the evil Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, is also here?"
"It seems to be true! Not only Master Tang San, but even his wife, Master Xiao Wu, is here!"
"Sea God and Asura God! They've become immortal gods, just as the history books say, continuing to bless Douluo Continent from the God Realm!"
The soul masters murmured excitedly. Tang San's legendary status on Douluo Continent meant that many believed his presence here signified their safety.
Meanwhile, in another area of the plane, a wave of powerful Asura energy radiated from Xiao Wu's location. Sensing it, Tang San's expression lit up as he hurried toward her.
He arrived swiftly but looked troubled.
"Xiao Wu, I finally found you."
"But what is going on here? Where did that enormous black hand come from, and why are we here? I'm a God King, yet even I couldn't resist that power. Who is behind this?"
Tang San's gaze shifted to the chat room, hoping to find some answers. However, all he found were praises for himself. Normally, he'd appreciate such adoration, but this time he remained silent, pretending not to notice. He had no idea how to escape this place.
The massive black hands had overpowered him completely, leaving him with no way out.
Then, another prominent name appeared in the chat room:
---
[Rakshasa God Bibi Dong]: Xue'er, are you there?
[Angel God Qian Renxue]: Yes, Mother.
[Rakshasa God Bibi Dong]: Excellent. Let's meet as soon as possible.
[Angel God Qian Renxue]: Understood!
---
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were also using their powers to reunite. Though they didn't fully understand what had happened, they realized that they had somehow been resurrected.
Over the past ten thousand years, they had suffered in the underworld, unable to reincarnate due to Tang San's interference, which only fueled their resentment.
Now, finally reborn, they were determined to seek revenge and make Tang San pay for the agony they had endured.
"Tang San, this time, we will make you suffer!" declared Bibi Dong, her eyes burning with hatred.
In the chat room, Tang San's frown deepened as he noticed two more familiar names.
"Qian Renxue… Bibi Dong?"
"Weren't they already dead, imprisoned in the underworld with no chance of escape? How are they here?"
