After reshaping the Divine Realm, Huo Yuhao treated all gods equally—whether they were God Kings, First-Class or Second-Class Gods, or even the lowest-ranked ones. He erased their memories, stripped them of their divine power, and cast them down as mortals.
They were all sent into the newly reborn mortal world to play the roles assigned to them. This entire setup was a script written for Tang San—just as Tang San had once manipulated Huo Yuhao's fate, Huo Yuhao now repaid that debt in full.
Killing Tang San outright would've been far too merciful.
It wasn't enough to quell the hatred festering in Huo Yuhao's heart.
["So this is the truth…"]
["Reshaping the Divine Realm—how terrifying!"]
["A realm beyond the God King… So it's called Creator God?!"]
["Power that can so easily overturn the world—truly worthy of the name 'Creator God'!"]
Viewers in the livestream chat were all stunned. They understood that the terrifying one wasn't Huo Yuhao—it was Elder Ye. Or rather, Ye from before his death.
Even the remnants of divine artifacts or mere fragments left behind from his lifetime could grant power strong enough to reshape the world.
Such power rendered the gods of the Divine Realm completely helpless. Their divine power was stripped away, their memories rewritten. They were reduced to mere mortals. This wasn't a battle between equals—it wasn't even close.
The once-lofty gods of the Divine Realm were nothing but ants in the eyes of this man from another world.
Watching this, countless viewers were inflamed with longing. That kind of power, the ability to overturn everything—it ignited something deep within them. Even if it was nearly impossible to obtain, what if—just what if—they could? That slim chance alone was enough to drive them mad with desire.
In the video—
The reshaped Divine Realm was now home to a thriving population.
Aside from a small number who were once gods, most of these people had been casually transferred from minor worlds under the original Divine Realm. Silently, they had achieved the so-called "ascension to the Divine Realm."
Though Huo Yuhao had acquired part of the Creator God's power—capable of overturning worlds and altering the will of all beings—he still couldn't create life from nothing. So he had to "borrow" people from other minor worlds.
And now, the modified Divine Realm—aside from the central zone where Huo Yuhao resided—was devoid of divine energy. It had become a land entirely cut off from magic and cultivation. That was why Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill couldn't be cultivated.
Huo Yuhao wanted Tang San to experience true helplessness. To know what it felt like for his fate to be in the hands of gods, to have his life whimsically arranged.
This was revenge for the pain Tang San had once caused him.
Huo Yuhao had already scripted Tang San's entire new life—he just wanted to see how long the once-revered God King could hold on.
…
Stripped of all his power, Tang San spent three years being exploited by a ruthless boss. Every day, he drifted through life in a daze, slowly forgetting his past glory—wondering if everything from his time as a god had just been a dream.
Then, under "Fate's" (Huo Yuhao's) orchestration—
The Xiao Wu he had searched for so desperately suddenly appeared before him one day.
After finishing a grueling day of hauling bricks, Tang San was headed back to his dormitory when he froze. Ahead, a beautiful woman was about to step into a luxury car. That familiar face—it was unmistakable.
It was Xiao Wu. His beloved. His wife.
"Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu!"
Tang San went wild, sprinting toward her.
But before he could get close, he was kicked to the ground by her bodyguards.
"Where'd this stinking beggar come from? Think you can approach the young lady?" sneered the two suited, sunglasses-wearing bodyguards—none other than Da Ming and Er Ming in cameo roles.
"Xiao Wu! It's me! Don't you recognize me?! I'm Tang San!" Tang San screamed hoarsely, desperate to awaken her memory.
But Xiao Wu didn't even glance his way. She stepped into the car, and the bodyguards shut the door behind her.
As Tang San watched his wife about to be driven away, he struggled frantically to rise, only to receive an even harsher beating. Soon he was left crumpled on the ground, unable to move.
Huo Yuhao had preserved Tang San's memories—but everything else, his bloodline, talents, and powers, had all been utterly erased. He was now a mere mortal in every sense.
And since this was about spiritual torment, Huo Yuhao wouldn't let Tang San's connection with Xiao Wu end just like that. He arranged for them to reconnect and fall in love again.
Thus began a melodrama of a poor boy eloping with a wealthy heiress.
Just when Tang San believed love would conquer all, Xiao Wu's rich father—his future father-in-law—showed up with his men to take his daughter back. The couple resisted with all their might.
The result? Tang San's legs were broken. Then came two bone-chilling snapping sounds that left male viewers cringing in sympathetic pain.
A fallen God King reduced to this… Words failed them.
Meanwhile, the Huo Yuhao in the video was clearly pleased—but it still wasn't enough. Physical pain and a little helplessness? That was nothing compared to what he had suffered.
So under "Fate's" guidance—
Xiao Wu ran away from home again and found Tang San. The two reunited in tears and decided to elope abroad.
But on the way—
A sudden car accident left Xiao Wu in a coma, her life hanging by a thread. Only an enormous sum of money could keep her alive.
Tang San had no money.
He broke down, kneeling and sobbing at the feet of his father-in-law, begging him to save Xiao Wu.
Just as Huo Yuhao had once begged Wang Dong'er's father in the same humiliating fashion.
The father-in-law eventually said that though Xiao Wu was now a vegetable, there was a chance she could recover. Ordinary medicine wouldn't work. Only by finding the mythical Love Querying Valley and passing the trials of the gods could one obtain a miracle herb to heal her.
The moment Tang San heard the name "Love Querying Valley," he trembled. It was a familiar name. He thought he had found a clue to the Divine Realm.
He rushed to ask—but the father-in-law knew nothing more. He only said that the valley was legendary, its existence uncertain.
However, he did have a map that supposedly marked its location.
"If your love for Xiao Wu is true," he said, "go and find this place. Bring back the herb. Prove your love."
"If you succeed, I'll agree to let you be with Xiao Wu."
Though Tang San felt the story was strangely familiar, his desire to save his wife outweighed all doubt. He accepted the mission eagerly, took the map and the travel money, and set out for the Love Querying Valley.
