After returning to godhood, Tang San's eyes turned blood-red, and his breathing became noticeably heavier. His gaze was fixed intently on Shen Hanyu as he spoke with disbelief:
"Could it be…"
"This is impossible… this is impossible! Could it be that you also…"
"No… how could this be…"
Tang San muttered to himself as if he dared not believe it.
But the next moment, Shen Hanyu broke through his final psychological defense with a single sentence.
"Bashu, Tang Sect… I wonder if these still leave any impression on you…"
Shen Hanyu said softly, while gently pinching the hand of Shui Bing'er beside him, whose eyes were flickering with intense curiosity.
In Tang San's eyes, shattered light and shadow continuously evolved into scenes from his previous life. In a short time, his expression fused pain and torment with relief, and finally turned into a kind of resentment.
At last, his gaze fell back onto Shen Hanyu, and he said in a deep voice:
"Exactly which sect or school are you from? And why, when we have no grudge or enmity between us, and we are essentially the same kind of people, should we, by all rights, be the most suitable companions, yet you insist on standing against me as enemies…"
Shen Hanyu took a few slow steps forward, as if reminiscing about the events of his previous life. His expression gradually returned to calm.
"I am different from you. The Tang Sect that raised you only exists in my world as mere words and fragments in books. Perhaps, in essence, we all are… including this world itself…"
Tang San couldn't quite understand what Shen Hanyu meant. A fog seemed to entangle his heart, preventing him from seeing the root of things, from seeing through his own heart, and from guessing Shen Hanyu's intentions.
After a moment of silence, Tang San finally spoke:
"Since you are willing to bring this matter up yourself, does that mean… everything is about to come to an end…"
Shen Hanyu nodded slightly, then said with a touch of emotion:
"Actually, my thoughts on handling these matters have changed quite a bit…"
"But in the end, I discovered that special existences, no matter which plane they are in, only need that one unique instance. If there is more than one, then its essence is no longer special. That is to say, the duplicated existence and the original existence are destined to be unable to coexist in balance…"
"Tang San, I'm not telling you this because I pity you. I'm simply drawing a period at the end of destiny. From today onward, everything will become an entirely new appearance…"
"You may not understand what I'm saying, but I think… this segment of history, and even the entire future, will no longer need your existence…"
Shen Hanyu released Shui Bing'er's hand, then slowly walked up to Tang San. His eyes were extremely calm, without the slightest ripple, as if the Tang San before him did not exist at all.
Tang San looked at Shen Hanyu, who stood as proud as a god, then laughed a few times coldly and said:
"Then what exactly is the purpose of your current behavior? I don't believe you're kindly letting me resolve my regrets in the final moments of my life…"
At this point, Tang San no longer bothered to hide anything. No matter what thoughts he once held, he was now simply Tang San, the son of the Clear Sky Douluo and the Blue Silver Empress. Between life and death, past truths and history had become nothing more than empty words; there was no longer any meaning in delving deeper.
Shen Hanyu gently shook his head. Light and shadow flowed in his eyes as he casually waved his hand. A decrepit figure was thrown out from the void and slid directly to Tang San's feet.
Tang San trembled as he helped up the disheveled figure. The hot tears in his eyes could no longer be held back, mixing with mud and filth to cover his entire face.
"Dad…"
The once peerless Clear Sky Douluo, driven by Qian Renxue's hatred, had been reduced to a state even more filthy and foul-smelling than a beggar. The domineering aura on Tang Hao's body had completely dissipated, replaced by a decaying air, as if his life would scatter from the world at any moment…
In the distance, Qian Renxue and the others were somewhat astonished. The secret chamber where Tang Hao was imprisoned was located underground in the Crown Prince's residence and had been protected with spiritual power isolation. Every inch of the defenses bore unique spiritual imprints. Even so, Shen Hanyu had still effortlessly taken Tang Hao away, which truly surprised them.
Although surprised, they had no intention of intervening. They simply stood quietly to the side and watched the show. Shen Hanyu's recent act of killing the Clear Sky Sect's Title Douluo had indeed intimidated them.
They were also uncertain about Shen Hanyu's current attitude and mood. After all, he was an extremely unpredictable person. One careless move could not only destroy the friendship they had accumulated so far, but might even cause him to view them as enemies…
Tang San's left arm held Tang Hao, who had already lost consciousness or become an idiot, while his right hand protected the Blue Silver Empress's Seed of Life behind him. He kept his head lowered, his expression unreadable, but the surrounding air pressure was affected by the nearly violent emotions surging from his body, becoming noticeably heavier for a moment.
"I, Tang San, swear here on my life: if heaven gives me another chance, then what you have done to my parents today, every single person present who participated, will regret it for the rest of their lives…"
Tang San suddenly raised his head. His eyes were scarlet and bloodthirsty, like a true demon that devoured people.
Shen Hanyu calmly watched his final madness, then said softly:
"Destiny reincarnates, but you don't need to be anxious. I am only one step away from becoming a god. Once I achieve godhood, you will be trapped in the cycle of reincarnation for all eternity, enjoying the most extreme pain and torment in the world…"
"But from another perspective, haven't I reunited your family? No matter how deep your hatred is, this is merely the deepest shackle I have left for you…"
"As for that rabbit, it won't be long before she joins you…"
As the final soft words fell, Shen Hanyu slowly raised his head. A terrifying soul power capable of destroying the world surged upward, transforming into countless brilliant golden lights. In an instant, all the dark clouds were completely dispelled.
Tang San lifted his head in a daze, watching the scene that looked like the descent of a god. The Blue Silver Empress seemed to sense something as well; its leaves, emitting a faint blue glow, trembled slightly before pressing even closer to Tang San and Tang Hao.
In the distance, Qian Renxue, who had been led hundreds of meters away by the Azure Luan Douluo, looked at the dazzling holy light before her and couldn't help but slightly open her mouth. Shock flashed in her eyes, along with a trace of fervent heat.
Using light to pierce all heavy darkness and deliver sacred radiance to every corner of the world, this was the mission and dream of the six-winged angels since the Angel God, almost fused into their blood and bones, was regarded as their supreme honor.
The restrained Tang Xiao was filled with despair and desolation. The Snow Empress gently waved her hand, knocking him unconscious and temporarily disabling his ability to act before tossing him aside. After this, it would be extremely difficult for him to leave alive…
As for the future fate of the Clear Sky Sect, anyone with a brain could probably guess it. Having lost three top powerhouses, including their Sect Master, they had already lost the foundation to contend with the Spirit Hall. Their destruction was now only a matter of time.
Gu Yuena glanced at Xiao Wu, who was still kneeling motionless on the spot like a pile of scrapped machinery, and snorted coldly before appearing beside her, accompanying Bi Ji and Zi Ji.
Bi Ji hesitated for a moment, then said softly:
"My Lord, you…"
Gu Yuena shook her head, then let out a nearly imperceptible sigh and said:
"His power is far stronger than I imagined. At first, after he forged his divine body, I only thought his strength had surpassed the human Limit Douluo level, reaching half-god or slightly stronger…"
"I believed that even if his realm was slightly higher than mine, I could still rely on my superior control over elements and the primitive power of my bloodline, along with my true body, to barely contend with him. But now it seems I overestimated myself at the time…"
"In the end, I underestimated humans…"
After a pause, Gu Yuena continued:
"Or rather, I underestimated him alone. His current power is several times stronger than mine, even when I use my bloodline origin and true body. He has truly reached the absolute pinnacle below the god level. I even suspect that some divine officials are no longer his match… Right now, he only needs an opportunity to effortlessly enter the god level. He doesn't even need the so-called divine examination or to inherit a divine position. The power of destiny on him is also surging wildly. In a short time, the entire plane's destiny may be absorbed by him alone…"
"At that time, even if he doesn't become a god, what difference would there be between him in the Douluo Plane and a true god…"
Bi Ji and Zi Ji exchanged a glance, both showing disbelief.
They knew Shen Hanyu was very strong, but they had never imagined that a youth who wasn't even considered old among humans could grow to such a degree in such a short time, without a divine position, yet possessing power comparable to a god… This was perhaps the true appearance of a Child of Destiny: controlling everything and ultimately standing above everything.
"The die is cast. My chances of defeating him have probably dropped to less than ten percent. The future of the soul beast clan truly rests on his whim."
Gu Yuena said softly.
Although she was very reluctant to admit it, Shen Hanyu's strength forced them to face reality. Gu Yuena suddenly felt somewhat fortunate that her initial intuition had left their current situation relatively favorable, sparing them the direct risk of becoming his enemies.
…
Bathed in the golden light, Shen Hanyu seemed to be waiting for something.
Looking down at the crowd below, who now seemed almost as insignificant as ants, a nearly transparent flame suddenly rose in Shen Hanyu's hand. A huge magic array slowly took shape, and a golden light pillar suddenly descended from above, completely sealing off the area below.
Shen Hanyu took a few steps forward and said:
"Tang San, the current you is so weak that I don't even want to look at you more than once. But considering that you and I are the same kind and both favored by destiny, I will use the strength and method that I consider respectful to you to let you die…"
"Today's events are enough for you to be proud of…"
As he spoke, Shen Hanyu suddenly clenched his fist.
The golden light in the area before him suddenly began to expand, followed by continuous explosions ringing out from the sky to the ground. The firelight made Shen Hanyu's face appear even more mysterious. The terrifying might was almost enough to destroy everything.
After the final explosion passed, the locked area had completely turned into a giant pit hundreds of meters deep. Fierce flames burned, seemingly scorching even space itself, while the original Tang San and the other two had completely vanished without a trace. Not a single remnant of them could be found anywhere in the world.
Within the sea of fire, a faint blue light flickered. With a casual wave of his hand, six soul bones and a blue seed, protected by their own blue barrier, quickly flew into Shen Hanyu's hand.
He gave a faint smile to Shui Bing'er below, then tossed all the items to her and said:
"These soul bones are of decent quality. Distribute them to your companions when you return. Although this Blue Silver Empress's Seed of Life has been reverted to its initial form, it contains the purest and most basic origin substance of the Blue Silver Empress. Give it to Leng Leng when you return; she will have use for it later…"
Shui Bing'er put everything away and nodded gently.
From the conversation just now, she seemed to have learned quite a few things. Besides the shock, her mood was somewhat complicated for some reason, but her feelings toward Shen Hanyu grew even more intense, like a raging fire that made her whole body burn, and her reason teetered on the edge of collapse.
The Snow Empress simply stood quietly to the side. Only when she saw Shen Hanyu look toward her did a momentary ripple appear in her eyes. Other than that, she was terrifyingly calm, as if she had expected this all along…
Or perhaps, she simply didn't care about any of it…
…
Shen Hanyu looked at the completely unrecognizable forest before him. Suddenly, a surge of blood-colored energy erupted from his spiritual sea, causing him to freeze for a moment. But soon, everything returned to calm.
Shui Bing'er spread her wings and leaped up, throwing herself directly into Shen Hanyu's embrace, greedily seizing the aura that brought her peace of mind.
The Snow Empress also flashed and appeared beside Shen Hanyu, similarly throwing herself into his arms.
Shen Hanyu held the two of them, lowered his head to plant a kiss on each of their foreheads, then said with a light smile:
"The road ahead is now completely clear. The future is bright. For a very, very long time to come, we will not be separated…"
"Our affinity took root long ago and has now grown strong enough to replace destiny. From now on, we can peacefully embark on the path to godhood…"
Both of them softly hummed in agreement. In that instant, they felt that the Shen Hanyu before them had suddenly become much lighter. The vitality that had been sealed away returned once more. For a moment, they all seemed to see the genius youth from before…
…
Gu Yuena and the other two had already left first, while the still-dazed Xiao Wu remained kneeling blankly in place. Her tears had long since dried, and her face at this moment seemed to have lost all vitality.
As for the out-of-control and frenzied Tang Xiao, the three Worshippers, including the Azure Luan Douluo, joined forces to send him on his final journey. Their ninth soul skills and full-power Martial Soul Fusion technique were enough to give him face, ensuring he would not die in humiliation.
With Shen Hanyu's permission, Qian Renxue still took Xiao Wu away. Although Shen Hanyu looked down on a soul beast like the Soft Bone Rabbit, Qian Renxue did not mind at all. Although she had no confidence in absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring at the seventh soul ring, ever since she had seen Xiao Wu's sacrifice process, she had come up with a method.
Since she couldn't persuade the other party, she could completely control her on the spiritual level.
The Spirit Hall had a control-type Title Douluo whose martial soul was Nightmare, who was best at toying with and controlling people's hearts. To be safe, she would have her grandfather help that person break through to Title Douluo first before making further plans, striving to completely control Xiao Wu's spirit and even her soul, making her sacrifice herself to Qian Renxue. This was the result Qian Renxue truly wanted…
As for Tang Yuehua, Qian Renxue looked at her current crazed and deranged state, completely devoid of her previous elegance and nobility, and gently sighed. In the end, she personally sent her on her way.
This ambush had caused the Clear Sky Sect to lose three Title Douluo, including their Sect Master, along with several Soul Douluo and disciples. It must have dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Clear Sky Sect. Qian Renxue already had plans: after the coup to seize the throne was completed, a dedicated purge plan targeting the continental sects would be carried out one by one. At that time, the Clear Sky Sect would be placed first…
