Chapter 398: A Familiar Script
After reshaping the God Realm, Huo Yuhao erased the memories and divine powers of all deities whether God Kings, First Level Gods, Second Level Gods, or even the weakest among them. He cast them all down into the newly created mortal world, assigning them roles to play in a carefully orchestrated script designed specifically for Tang San.
Just as Tang San had once manipulated his fate, now that Huo Yuhao was in power, he decided to make him suffer the same torment he had endured.
Simply killing Tang San would have been too easy.
It wouldn't have been enough to quench the hatred in Huo Yuhao's heart!
[So that's what happened…]
[Reshaping the entire God Realm… this is terrifying!]
[A realm beyond the God King… so it's called a Creator God?!]
[To wield power capable of rewriting the world itself… truly worthy of the name "Creator God"!]
The audience was in awe. They understood Huo Yuhao wasn't the terrifying one.
Ye Lao was.
Or rather, Ye Lao in his prime.
Even just the residual fragments of his divine artifact had granted Huo Yuhao the power to reverse all creation a power so overwhelming that even the deities of the God Realm stood no chance against it.
They had been effortlessly stripped of their divinity, their memories altered, their existence rewritten.
To Ye Lao, these so called gods were nothing more than ants, easily crushed with a flick of his hand.
Seeing this, the audience felt a fiery desire burning in their hearts.
They craved this power.
Even if their chances of obtaining it were slim, the mere thought of "what if?" was enough to drive them mad with ambition.
A Rewritten Reality
The new mortal world was populated with countless people.
Most of them were ordinary mortals migrated from the various lesser worlds under the God Realm's dominion. They had unknowingly been granted the "privilege" of ascending to the divine plane except now, there was no divinity left in it.
Huo Yuhao, now wielding a fraction of a Creator God's power, could easily reshape reality, alter memories, and bend fate itself.
However, creating new life from nothing was still beyond his reach.
So, he simply "borrowed" people from other worlds.
Thus, in this new reality, there was no divine energy, no spiritual qi only a mundane, law bound world.
A world where Tang San's Xuan Tian Technique was utterly useless.
Huo Yuhao wanted him to truly experience what it meant to be a powerless mortal.
To feel what it was like to have his fate controlled by an all powerful being.
"You thought you could control me?"
"Let's see how YOU like being a puppet!"
He had meticulously arranged every step of Tang San's journey.
All he had to do now…
Was watch.
Three Years of Hell
For three years, Tang San toiled away as a lowly construction worker.
Every day, he was exploited by a ruthless boss, working himself to exhaustion for a pitiful wage.
The once mighty God King had been reduced to a mere cog in the machine of society.
Without his divine aura, without his unearned wisdom…
He was just another fool struggling at the bottom of the hierarchy.
Day after day, his past life faded into a distant memory.
Until one fateful evening
He saw her.
His shift had just ended, and as he dragged his exhausted body through the streets, he froze in place.
Not far away, stepping into a luxury car, was Xiao Wu.
The woman he had searched for all these years.
His beloved. His wife.
"XIAO WU!!!"
Tang San lost control.
He sprinted toward her, heart pounding, eyes wide with desperation.
But before he could reach her
BAM!
A brutal kick to the chest sent him crashing to the ground.
"Where do you think you're going, you filthy beggar?"
Two hulking men in black suits and sunglasses stood in his way none other than Da Ming and Er Ming, now acting as Xiao Wu's personal bodyguards.
They didn't recognize him.
To them, Tang San was just a random vagrant trying to harass their lady.
"Xiao Wu! It's me! Don't you recognize me? I'm Tang San!!!"
His desperate cries echoed through the night.
But Xiao Wu did not even look at him.
With elegant indifference, she stepped into the car.
The door slammed shut.
As the vehicle pulled away, Tang San fought to get up, his body screaming in pain.
But before he could stand
Da Ming and Er Ming stomped him down again.
Beating him until he could no longer move.
A Cruel Orchestration
Huo Yuhao watched from the God Realm's core, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
But this wasn't enough.
"Physical pain is temporary… but despair lasts forever."
Simply beating Tang San down wasn't enough to repay the suffering he had endured.
So, Huo Yuhao engineered the next phase of his plan.
Despite everything, fate (Huo Yuhao) arranged for Tang San and Xiao Wu to meet again.
This time, they fell in love once more.
A classic tale the poor man and the wealthy heiress, defying all odds.
Until
The father enters the scene.
Xiao Wu's powerful, influential father (a role once held by Tang San himself in the God Realm) tracked them down.
He forcibly separated them, declaring:
"You are not worthy of my daughter!"
Tang San begged. Pleaded. Fought back.
But in the end
His legs were shattered.
And then
SNAP.
Two more cracks echoed in the room.
The men in the audience instinctively clenched their legs, shivering.
The once mighty Tang San had been completely ruined.
And just when he thought it couldn't get any worse
The Final Ordeal
Xiao Wu defied her father.
She ran away.
She found Tang San again.
They reunited, weeping with joy.
Determined to start a new life together, they fled the country.
But halfway through their journey…
CRASH!
A violent car accident.
Xiao Wu critically injured, left in a coma.
The doctors said:
"She'll die without specialized treatment. The procedure is expensive."
But Tang San had no money.
Desperate, he kneeled before his "father in law," begging for help.
Just as Huo Yuhao had once begged Tang San to save Wang Dong'er.
And the "father in law" smiled coldly.
"There's one way to save her… but it's just a legend."
"Find the mythical Qiankun Inquiry Valley.
Survive its divine trials.
Obtain a sacred herb… and she may wake."
Tang San's eyes widened in shock.
Qiankun Inquiry Valley?
Could this be… a clue to the God Realm?
His father in law handed him a map.
Tang San hesitated.
Something about this felt eerily familiar.
But Xiao Wu's life was at stake.
And so
With hope burning in his chest, Tang San set out on his quest.
Without realizing…
He was walking the exact same path Huo Yuhao once had.
