Chapter 136: The Goodwill of the Plane's Consciousness
It was precisely because the God of Destruction was watching that Tang San couldn't act recklessly. But once the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life turned into seeds, placing their trust in him…
The real Tang San would finally reveal his true colors and take the final step toward completely controlling the Divine Realm.
According to the legends in Divine Realm Chronicles, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life left seeds of their essence in Tang San's care, stating that they would return in ten thousand years.
They never asked Tang San to find successors for their divine positions.
Yet, the moment Soul Land IV began, the benevolent and righteous Tang Buddha took it upon himself to hand over those seeds to Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, directly granting them the divine thrones.
Tang San even justified his actions by claiming he was helping to find suitable successors for the two God Kings.
But in reality, he had taken it upon himself to decide for the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life all to expand the Tang Family's influence.
The ten thousand years that the God of Destruction spoke of was likely in Divine Realm time.
If converted to Douluo Star's time, it would be an astronomically long period.
By the time they returned, it would already be too late and in that span, the Tang Family would have flourished exponentially.
The divine positions originally belonging to the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life would likely become Tang Family heirlooms.
Tang San might even brainwash future generations, declaring:
"Since ancient times, the divine thrones of Destruction and Life have belonged to the Tang Family! The original God of Destruction and Goddess of Life? Never heard of them."
And honestly, this wasn't far fetched at all.
After all, Tang San had already claimed the Xuantian Treasure Record as his own, even declaring himself the founder of the Tang Sect.
By the time the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life returned, Tang San and his family would have grown far too powerful for them to oppose.
At that moment, Huo Yuhao spoke up:
"Elder Yi, I need you, Tianmeng, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress to work together. Di Qiu'er is about to face a crisis."
"I believe, with your wisdom, you must have noticed that she is no ordinary being."
Electrolux sighed. "She is indeed a very unique existence. From a fate perspective, she is strikingly similar to the Fate Beast."
"According to the rules of Douluo Continent, she should be the Fate Beast's human form, correct? But what I'm most curious about is why do you want me to protect her?"
Huo Yuhao answered bluntly:
"My divine foresight tells me that Di Qiu'er is crucial to my return to the Divine Realm. Elder, please help me I will attempt to use the golden light in my mind once more to obscure fate."
Suddenly
A soft voice, indistinguishable as male or female, echoed from within the golden light:
"I will help you conceal your actions... but please, do not let me be replaced... I beg you... help me... I don't want to disappear."
Huo Yuhao's heart shook violently.
This golden light… just spoke?!
Before, according to Elder Yi, this golden light contained a mixture of fate energy and something else.
Now, it was finally revealing its true nature?
Based on what it just said…
Could this actually be the consciousness of Douluo Star itself?
Was this a butterfly effect caused by the fusion of a transmigrator's fate with that of Huo Yuhao, the protagonist?
After all, it was common for transmigrators to have cheats.
And Huo Yuhao was already the son of fate probably the human with the densest fortune on all of Douluo Star.
Seriously, what other kid casually stumbles upon a million year old soul beast?
So this golden light… was that his "cheat" from transmigration?
No, wait…
Then what was that "other energy" mixed inside it?
He tried fishing for more information: "How can I help you? Who exactly are you?"
Because in the original timeline, Tang Hao eventually replaced Douluo Star's plane consciousness, becoming the Plane Lord.
The ultimate way to stop that from happening…
Was to deal with Tang San.
Tang Hao's arrogance and unchecked power came from the fact that Tang San was backing him.
To truly prevent Douluo Star from becoming "Tang Family Star", Tang San had to be eliminated.
The voice trembled:
"A man… is eroding my consciousness… No… I can't keep talking to you… He's coming again… Just remember… I will never harm you… You are the one I cherish most…"
And then
The voice vanished.
It didn't answer his question.
Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed.
That "man" it mentioned… was almost certainly future Plane Lord Tang Hao.
At that moment, he felt strangely confident.
If even the plane consciousness was resisting Tang San's family, then
They had the upper hand.
This was a fated battle.
And Douluo Star's plane consciousness clearly didn't want to be taken over.
It probably didn't even know about the benefits of merging into a higher plane.
And even if it did it wouldn't be the one to enjoy them.
That privilege would belong to Plane Lord Tang Hao.
Just then, Electrolux's voice rang out:
"Very well. I will assist you with all my strength. Yuhao, you are my student. Even though I am merely a remnant of my former self, I will give my all."
"Big Bug, Little Scorpion, Little Snow Girl I may need to borrow your strength. Though my level is higher than yours, my current power is far from my peak."
"Understood, Elder Yi," the three spirits replied in unison.
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly.
Wait Elder Yi didn't hear the voice from the golden light?
So only he could hear it?
Was this… the privilege of being "favored by the plane"?
"Elder Yi, I suggest we construct a divine consciousness reflection barrier similar to Tianmeng's Life Reflection Shield."
"The enemy's attack will be at the divine consciousness level, and only you can block it."
"Oh? A divine consciousness reflection barrier?"
Electrolux nodded approvingly.
"That's a good idea."
"I will create the barrier immediately. My priority is protecting Di Qiu'er but I will also protect you. Even if I must sacrifice the last of my existence, I will shield you first."
Huo Yuhao felt deeply moved.
"Elder…"
Electrolux truly was a great teacher far superior to someone like Yu Xiaogang.
Meanwhile, Wang Dong's mind was in turmoil.
That intrusive consciousness in her mind was growing stronger.
An overwhelming urge to find the Fate Beast was beginning to consume her thoughts.
Truthfully, she hated this presence inside her.
It was forcing her to do things against her will.
Her two fathers had told her it was just an illusion.
But… was it really?
A deep sense of suffocation settled in her chest.
It felt like her entire life was being manipulated.
And the worst part?
After waking up from these "episodes," she had no recollection of what she had done.
So much so that she had even asked Xiao Xiao:
"Why am I suddenly heading out? Wasn't I on my way to the cafeteria?"
Xiao Xiao, confused by the question, had simply explained everything as she saw it.
And when Wang Dong heard the explanation…
She knew.
Something was seriously wrong.
