Chapter 1: You Judge Rashly Because You Do Not Understand the Sea God.
The Divine Realm.
Tang San stood amidst the clouds and mist. As a Divine Realm enforcer, he was well aware that one day in the Divine Realm equaled a year in the mortal world. So, even though he had only spent a little over twenty years in the Divine Realm, over ten thousand years had passed on the Douluo Continent.
All of his past enemies were long dead, reduced to nothing. Only he remained, having ascended to the position of a God King, overlooking the mortal world from above.
Of course, his former teacher, Yu Xiaogang, had also passed away many years ago. Back then, due to various reasons, he hadn't been able to bring Yu Xiaogang to the Divine Realm, nor had he even asked if Yu Xiaogang wanted to come.
But as Yu Xiaogang's proudest disciple, he believed he understood his teacher well enough. He didn't even need to ask he knew Yu Xiaogang would never have liked life in the Divine Realm.
Life in the Divine Realm seemed blissful, but it was also arduous. So called gods were merely beings with long lifespans and immense power, but having these things was also a kind of suffering. Moreover, a long lifespan and great power were in direct opposition to everything Yu Xiaogang had pursued in his lifetime.
"If Bibi Dong had won back then, she might have done everything in her power to bring Teacher to the Divine Realm," Tang San mused. "After all, she truly loved him. But victors write history, and Bibi Dong ultimately lost. Though Teacher's life was short, he still found happiness with Mistress Erlong."
Lost in thought, Tang San sighed and turned to look at Xiao Wu beside him. "One day in the Divine Realm is a year in the mortal world, Xiao Wu. The Tang Sect I founded has already declined. I knew this day would come, but the Tang Sect was my creation. If gods weren't forbidden from interfering in the mortal world, I would have lent the Tang Sect a hand."
"Brother San," Xiao Wu immediately grabbed Tang San's arm. "With the advancement of time, the decline of the Tang Sect was inevitable."
"Yes, inevitable. Hidden weapons have ultimately fallen behind the times. However, a new rising star has recently appeared on the Douluo Continent. His fate seems to be tied to my Tang Sect."
A smile appeared on Tang San's face. "Perhaps, with his help, the Tang Sect can be revived. Also, Xiao Qi is growing up, and I could arrange for her to meet this rising star. If he proves capable, I might test him and give him a chance to inherit my godhood."
A hundred different trials for this rising star had already formed in his mind, and he couldn't wait to put them into action. After all, inheriting godhood required enduring countless tribulations!
A smile gradually spread across his face, but suddenly, he sensed something an inexplicable shift in this rising star's fate.
However, he couldn't clearly see these changes. Even as a God King, he was not omniscient. He could only faintly glimpse some fragments of the star's destiny.
Vaguely, he sensed a golden aura surrounding this rising star.
His expression twisted instantly. "How is this possible?! What is happening?! If this rising star does not align with my Tang Sect, the Tang Sect might be doomed, and my plans will be ruined. Who is meddling in my affairs? You are seeking your own destruction!"
Duke White Tiger's Mansion.
Huo Yuhao looked down at his youthful hands, feeling an urge to cry. After receiving all his memories, he now knew that he had transmigrated into the protagonist of Absolute Tang Sect Huo Yuhao.
To be honest, the name Huo Yuhao was legendary to him. After all, this was the infamous Huo hanger (nickname). Back when he read Absolute Tang Sect, he really liked Huo hanger.
Of course, as the plot progressed, his fondness for Huo hanger waned. Who could have imagined that a boy who started off with the surname "Dai" but was changed to "Huo" would, by the end of the story, under Tang San's meticulous manipulation, once again become Dai Yuhao?!
Truly worthy of being the God King Tang capable of brainwashing Huo Yuhao so thoroughly. Terrifying!
Yes, reviving Huo Yuhao's mother was indeed a good deed, but ultimately, it was just a means to tie Huo Yuhao down. And the slot used to revive her? It was taken from Huo Yuhao himself, who was the God of Emotions.
From that moment on, Huo Yuhao became Tang San's loyal dog.
So, whenever someone tried to defend Douluo Dalu 2's Tang San, saying, "I've read Absolute Tang Sect, and I don't think Tang San is a bad guy," he would list out Tang San's crimes, letting them know you judge rashly because you do not understand the Sea God!
"...So, does this mean Tang San already has his eyes on me?"
He had a headache. Even though he knew the plot of Absolute Tang Sect, he was nowhere near strong enough to oppose Tang San. After all, while Tang San always claimed that gods couldn't interfere in the mortal realm...
Everyone knew that just because Tang San said something didn't mean he would actually follow it. If Tang San wanted to interfere, he would absolutely find an excuse to do so. He was, after all, one of the Five Great God Kings, with supreme authority!
"I have no intention of becoming Tang San's pawn or the Tang family's loyal dog. First things first, I need to leave the Duke's Mansion, find Brother Tianmeng and Electrolux, and get some hacks (cheats). After all, for Huo Yuhao, Brother Tianmeng and Electrolux are crucial."
"Of course, once I get my hacks, I absolutely cannot go to Shrek Academy. Otherwise, I'll be tortured to death. I should head to the Sun Moon Empire instead. No matter what, I have to stay far away from Tang Princess. Getting involved with her would be a disaster. Just thinking about the Emotion Inquiry Valley makes my scalp tingle perhaps this is the God King Father in Law's ultimate test."
With that thought, he immediately snuck out of the Duke's Mansion. The guards were so lax that even a child like him could slip away unnoticed for now, at least.
Of course, his disappearance would be noticed later, and it would surely draw the Duchess's attention. But he didn't care. By then, he would be far away from the Duke's Mansion.
Still, the Duchess truly had no conscience. She used every method possible to oppress both Huo Yuhao and his mother, indirectly leading to his mother's death.
Thinking of this, he turned back to glance at the Duke's Mansion. "Thirty years on the east bank of the river wait, no, wrong line. In any case, I have taken on your body and your fate, Huo Yuhao. Rest assured, one day, I will return to the Duke's Mansion and make that Duchess pay."
He continued walking toward the Great Star Dou Forest.
Six days later, Huo Yuhao arrived near the outskirts of the Great Star Dou Forest.
Feeling a bit hungry, he began catching and roasting fish.
Before long, the rich aroma of grilled fish filled the air.
Just as he was about to dig in, a lively female voice rang out beside him.
"That smells amazing!"
He looked up in the direction of the voice and saw a well dressed young man and woman with outstanding appearances approaching.
According to his memories, these two were Tang Ya and Bei Bei.
