In the Divine Realm, within the Sea God Temple, amidst swirling clouds and mist, a towering palace stood above the clouds, emitting a faint, holy radiance.
Inside the main hall, Tang San sat upon the throne. At this moment, his consciousness had descended upon the Douluo Continent to communicate with his parents.
Ever since he became a god, he had begun arranging for his father, Tang Hao, to become the Plane Master, and his mother to become the core of life. If everything had gone according to his original plan, it would have proceeded smoothly, but... the variables on the Douluo Continent today were too great. Tang San could not ensure that events on the Douluo Continent would develop as he had envisioned.
Da Ming and Tai Tan were simply too useless; they could not even complete a simple task well and even nearly put Xiao Qi in danger. If it were not for the intervention of that Sky Shrek Academy, Xiao Qi would have been in danger. They had handled matters poorly!
Currently, Tang Hao was hiding within the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, staying near the Golden Tree with Ah Yin. At this moment, Tang San's Divine Sense descended upon them.
A violent and domineering aura radiated from Tang Hao's body. Although he had been a god for many years, the iron-blooded, tough-guy temperament he possessed had never changed.
Standing beside Tang Hao was a woman of stunning beauty. Her long blue hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her eyes were as gentle as water, and she exuded a natural, fresh aura.
Tang San looked at his parents, a gentle smile appearing on his face as he asked.
"Mother, how are things with Mu En...?"
Hearing this question, a complex look flashed through Ah Yin's gentle eyes.
She sighed softly and said.
"Mu En's Soul has completely dissipated."
"All the energy he transformed into after his death has been absorbed by the Golden Tree."
After hearing this, Tang San was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"I have wronged you, Mother."
There was a hint of apology in his tone.
"That Shrek Academy probably will not be of much use for a short while."
The past Pavilion Masters of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion would all inject their energy into the Golden Tree upon their death, and Ah Yin would use this to absorb a portion of the energy while merging with the Golden Tree. Now, talent in Shrek Academy was scarce, and there were almost none with the potential to become a Limit Douluo.
Ah Yin shook her head and said gently.
"There is no grievance to speak of; this is all for the Douluo Continent."
Tang San took a deep breath and continued.
"I am currently thinking of ways to resolve the issue with the Child of Destiny."
His brows furrowed slightly, and his tone became a bit more grave.
"If we cannot win the Child of Destiny over to our side..."
Tang San paused, looked at Ah Yin, and then at Tang Hao.
"For Mother to completely merge with the Golden Tree and transform into the core of life for the Douluo Continent plane, it will take a very, very long time."
"At least... tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand years."
Ah Yin did not speak, simply nodding gently to indicate she understood.
Tang San looked at Tang Hao again.
"For Father to become the Plane Master, it will similarly require a considerably long time."
Tang Hao frowned and said in a deep voice.
"So, what you mean is..."
Tang San continued to elaborate.
"Currently, in the Divine Realm, the God of Destruction is keeping a very close watch on me."
"Every move I make is under his nose."
There was a hint of helplessness in Tang San's tone.
"Therefore, it is inconvenient for me to take direct action."
He raised his head, looked at Tang Hao and Ah Yin, and his expression became serious.
"I hope that Father and Mother can help me out."
"It is also for the Douluo Continent that we love."
Tang Hao and Ah Yin exchanged a glance, then nodded simultaneously.
"That is only natural."
Ah Yin said, her tone gentle and firm.
"However..."
Tang San changed the subject, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"That Sky Shrek Academy is the biggest unexpected variable."
"If it cannot be removed, I fear... it will bring about huge trouble."
After hearing this, Tang Hao raised an eyebrow and asked in a deep voice.
"Do you mean... for me to go and get rid of that Sky Shrek Academy?"
His tone carried a hint of eagerness; Tang Hao had never been afraid of a fight in his entire life.
However, Ah Yin spoke up at this moment. She looked at Tang Hao and said softly.
"That day, when the person named Zang Xin came to Shrek Academy to challenge the various elders, I could feel that the opponent's strength... was quite extraordinary."
There was a hint of gravity in Ah Yin's tone.
"Even Da Ming and Er Ming, or even Mu En in his youth, would have difficulty contending with him."
"That Zang Xin's strength is at least at the Quasi-God level."
Tang San nodded, agreeing with Ah Yin's assessment.
"Father, there is no need to be agitated. Mother is right; that Zang Xin is not easy to deal with."
Tang San paused and continued.
"Father's current strength, while close to a Second-Tier God, has not yet attained a God Position. If you were to take action, I fear you might end up at a disadvantage. The combat power of that Sky Shrek Academy has not yet been fully displayed."
Tang Hao's expression was a bit unpleasant, but he still nodded; he admitted that his son's words made sense.
"Then you tell me, what should we do?"
Tang San smiled slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"Father, Mother, you need not worry."
"I have my own arrangements for what comes next."
He raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the clouds and mist of the Divine Realm, looking toward the distant Void Realm.
"I will introduce the Abyss Plane to test that Sky Shrek Academy..."
Tang Hao and Ah Yin were both stunned.
"The Abyss Plane?"
Ah Yin's brows furrowed slightly.
Tang San nodded, his tone calm.
"Currently, the Abyss Plane has already discovered the location of the Douluo Continent plane."
"Presumably... they will act very soon."
After hearing this, a complex look flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
Ah Yin sighed softly, her tone gentle.
"Since you have already made arrangements, we can rest assured."
"Everything... will be left to you."
"Our proudest son."
Tang Hao also nodded and said in a deep voice.
"It is in your hands."
Tang San looked at his parents, a warmth surging in his heart, and he nodded solemnly.
"Leave it to me."
After saying this, Tang San suddenly remembered something and continued to speak.
"Father, there is one more thing."
Tang Hao was slightly stunned.
"What is it?"
Tang San's expression became serious, his tone carrying a hint of meaningful implication.
"If possible, try to win over Huo Yuhao as much as you can."
Tang Hao frowned slightly, recalling.
"Huo Yuhao? Is that the one..."
"Yes."
Tang San nodded and continued.
"Or... try to bring Huo Yuhao and Xiao Qi together."
Hearing the name Xiao Qi, a complex look flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.
He was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"I understand."
In the distance, the sky of the Divine Realm was faintly shifting with wind and clouds.
