Chapter 10 - Hidden in the Past

White World, Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Seeing the comparison heavenly screen, Black World Tang Hao knelt before Tang Zhen's grave, weeping bitterly and repenting for his previous actions.

Tang Chuan's brow furrowed as he recalled the conspiracy theories from the internet in his past life.

In his past life, although he was an orphan, as a youth of the new era, he had read web novels and watched anime.

And he had seen Douluo Continent, whether it was the novel or the anime.

Tang Chuan had seen them all.

Among them, one of the most discussed topics about Douluo Continent online was regarding the sacrifice of his mother, Ah Yin.

Because whether his mother, Ah Yin, was brought back to the Clear Sky Sect by Tang Hao...

Or after they went into hiding, everything had been fine for several years.

Yet, by some sheer coincidence, just as she was pregnant and about to give birth, she was discovered by Spirit Hall.

Then, the Qian Xunji led a group to their door.

This was simply too much of a coincidence!

Therefore, a conspiracy theory emerged online.

That was, Ah Yin's sacrifice was actually deliberately engineered by Tang Hao, with the goal being Ah Yin's hundred thousand year spirit ring and Spirit Bone!

This conspiracy theory still had quite a market on the internet in his past life.

But at that time, Tang Chuan did not agree with it.

Although he was an orphan.

Tang Chuan had grown up healthy in an orphanage with the help of the state and society.

Therefore, the Tang Chuan of that time believed more in the bright side of human nature.

But now, Tang Chuan thought about it carefully.

In his past life, the poster who proposed this conspiracy theory stated two pieces of evidence.

One was that Tang Hao clearly knew his mother's identity and could have taken backroads to bring her back to the Clear Sky Sect.

Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible to be discovered by the people of Spirit Hall.

Because if Spirit Hall had been monitoring Tang Hao in secret all along, they should have discovered his mother's true identity long ago.

And if they hadn't been monitoring him...

Then if Tang Hao took his mother through backroads to return to the Clear Sky Sect, Spirit Hall wouldn't have been able to find the two of them.

The second was that Tang Hao had clearly succeeded in hiding his mother away.

Moreover, they had been hidden for several years without being discovered.

So why was it that just as his mother was pregnant and about to give birth, she was discovered by Spirit Hall?

And the Qian Xunji even led a group to their door.

Some said it was because his mother could not conceal her aura while pregnant.

But if Tang Hao had successfully hidden his mother for several years...

They must have been hiding in the wild, in a place where few people ever went.

In such a case, even if her aura leaked, it shouldn't have been possible for the people of Spirit Hall to discover her.

These two pieces of evidence...

Tang Chuan now realized they were actually completely logical and could explain many issues.

Combined with the sight of Black World Tang Hao weeping and loudly repenting on the comparison heavenly screen...

The truth was already very clear!

This made Tang Chuan instantly furious, and he clenched his fists.

Dammit! That cursed Tang Hao!

I never expected you to be such a beast!

So Mother's sacrifice was all engineered by you!

I was wondering why, even though Mother hadn't died...

Why you always spent all day drinking and completely ignored me.

Now it seems it's clearly because you felt you had angered your father Tang Zhen to death and harmed the Clear Sky Sect; with your heart full of pain and guilt, you drank all day to numb yourself!

In the Blue Silver Forest.

Looking at the comparison heavenly screen, where Black World Tang Hao knelt before Tang Zhen's grave, weeping and loudly repenting...

Ah Yin's heart also trembled, feeling that something was not quite right.

But in her heart, Ah Yin was still somewhat unwilling to believe the truth she had faintly perceived.

"No! It's impossible! I must be overthinking it!"

"Brother Hao loves me so much. When Spirit Hall's Supreme Pontiff, the Qian Xunji, told him to hand me over, he said that if Spirit Hall wanted my spirit ring and Spirit Bone, they would have to step over his corpse."

"How could he harm me!"

Ah Yin shook her head violently in her heart, her face pale as she forced herself to be convinced... Meanwhile, in the Black World.

Because she discovered her true son was already dead.

The current son was Tang San's soul, which had occupied the original son's body.

This left Ah Yin full of rage and madness; she didn't even notice that on the comparison heavenly screen, Tang Hao's words of weeping and loud repentance were a bit off.

But outside the dark stone room where Ah Yin was located.

Discovering that the Sky Canopy actually broadcasted the scene of him returning to the Clear Sky Sect years ago, kneeling before his father's grave, weeping, and loudly repenting.

Tang Hao sat on a patch of grass beneath the waterfall, his fists suddenly clenching. On his sallow and decadent face, his expression was extremely unsightly, his heart filled with fear and anger.

Damned Sky Canopy, hurry up and move past this scene!

Aren't you comparing Little San and that Tang Chuan?

Why are you broadcasting me like this!

[After kneeling before Tang Zhen's grave, weeping bitterly, and loudly repenting.]

[Tang Hao, filled with pain and soul-crushing despair, stood up decadently, picked up the infant Tang San, flew into the air, and left the Clear Sky Sect, which had already been reduced to ruins.]

[After leaving this place, Tang Hao traveled all the way to the border of the Fanos Province in the Heaven Dou Empire.]

[Ultimately, he chose a village called Saint Spirit Village, took the alias of a blacksmith named Tang Hao, and settled into seclusion with Tang San.]

Seeing this, in both the Black World and the White World's Saint Spirit Village.

Village Chief Old Jack couldn't help but widen his eyes, so shocked he was almost speechless.

"That drunkard Tang Hao is... is actually a Titled Douluo?!"

"And a Titled Douluo from the legendary Upper Three Sects' Clear Sky Sect? This is simply..."

"Then that Little San / Xiao Chuan who became the Sea God and Asura God / god of life and god of destruction, isn't that the Little San / Xiao Chuan I know?"

Thinking of this, the two Old Jacks were incredibly excited.

They both thought at the same time that their Saint Spirit Village would probably be renamed Divine Soul Village in the future!

However, if Tang Chuan were here, he would definitely say to the White World's Old Jack:

"Grandpa Old Jack, you're thinking too small! Your vision is too narrow!"

"I, Tang Chuan, am not that Tang San. In the future, our Saint Spirit Village will certainly be more than just a simple name change!"

[After Tang Hao settled in Saint Spirit Village with Tang San.]

[Even though Tang San was still an infant, Tang Hao completely ignored him, spending all day drinking and getting drunk. Only when he remembered would he feed Tang San some porridge or rice paste, then toss him aside.]

[Fortunately, Tang San was no ordinary infant; he could cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish his body, so he didn't starve to death.]

[And after he was over a year old, as Tang San became able to cook for himself.]

[Tang Hao stopped cooking altogether, spending all day drinking. When he got drunk, he would collapse on the bed and fall into a deep sleep; when he woke up, he would demand food from Tang San.]

[Because Tang Hao ignored everything else, even chopping wood and carrying water had to be done by Tang San, a small child.]

[Fortunately, the village chief Old Jack was an upright and warm-hearted old man. Seeing this situation, he was very angry and gave Tang Hao a harsh scolding. Afterward, he helped Tang San with water and wood and often provided rice as relief.]

[Only then could the life of Tang San's family be barely maintained.]
