Chapter 228 Tang San is shocked: Is Liu Yuan's luck even stronger than Huo Yuhao's?
Tang San's gaze remained fixed on the boy reflected in the water mirror.
Liu Yuan stood on the edge of the cliff, his three pupils slightly open and closed, with purple-gold light flowing within them.
He wasn't particularly tall or strong; in fact, he was rather thin. But standing there, he exuded a sense of composure.
It's not a deliberate composure, but a calmness that comes from within.
The more Tang San looked, the more his brows furrowed.
As a god-king, he possessed the ability to see through destiny. This ability was acquired after he became a god, and it was also his most important tool for manipulating events in the mortal realm.
Through luck, he can determine who the protagonist of this era is and who is worth his resources and energy.
Huo Yuhao was chosen by him through this ability.
From the moment Huo Yuhao was born, Tang San saw that the baby was shrouded in a rich golden aura.
That wasn't just ordinary luck; it was a blessing from the entire Douluo Continent plane.
This means that Huo Yuhao is the one chosen by this plane in this era, and the protagonist of this continent.
It is precisely for this reason that Tang San has devoted so much effort to Huo Yuhao.
He made Huo Yuhao's mother suffer, made Huo Yuhao experience cold treatment, and then guided him step by step onto the path of becoming stronger.
All of this was so that when the final battle was about to be won over, Huo Yuhao would willingly become his pawn.
But at that moment, Tang San saw something unexpected in the water mirror.
Liu Yuan's luck was in no way weaker than Huo Yuhao's.
It wasn't the golden aura bestowed by another dimension, but rather a more restrained and profound light.
The light did not come from the outside, but emanated from Liu Yuan himself.
It wasn't as flamboyant as Huo Yuhao, but its sense of weight even surprised Tang San.
"That's impossible," Tang San said in a low voice.
He once again activated his divine power, bringing the image in the water mirror even closer.
Liu Yuan's image was magnified in the mirror, and the aura of fortune emanating from him became clearly visible.
The intensity and purity of that light were indeed comparable to Huo Yuhao's.
Tang San remained silent for a long time.
He began to calculate.
As the God-King, he can not only see destiny, but also trace back to the past.
Although he couldn't possibly know every detail about what happened in the lower realms, he could see the general timeline through the power of divine revelation.
The scene in the water mirror began to change, showing Liu Yuan's experiences over the past few years.
Every single thing went through Tang San's mind.
Tang San's brows went from being tightly furrowed to relaxed, and then from relaxed to solemn.
He overlooked an important person.
This young man, from being driven away by Shrek Academy to his current rise, has only been around for a few years.
Over the years, he went from a level nine waste to a level sixty-two Soul Emperor, condensed his first Soul Core, possessed a 100,000-year Soul Spirit, and completed a second awakening at the Gold level.
This rate of growth is something even Huo Yuhao cannot match.
Tang San tapped his fingers on the armrest twice, the rhythm a little slower than before.
"Interesting," he said.
The previous ease and control were gone from his tone; now there was a hint of scrutiny and consideration.
Titan stood behind him, remaining silent. He saw Liu Yuan's image in the water mirror, then glanced at Tang San's expression, and tentatively asked, "Lord Tang, this young man...should we deal with him?"
Tang San did not answer immediately.
He was thinking.
What to do with Liu Yuan?
How to handle this?
He is a god-king; it's impossible for him to personally descend to the mortal realm to deal with a mere human.
That would violate the rules and attract the attention of other god-kings.
Moreover, even if he wanted to take action, the laws of the lower realm would not allow it.
But if we don't do anything and let this boy grow up, who knows what he might do in the future?
Tang San was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"No rush," he said, his tone regaining its calm. "I need more time to observe him. His luck is special; it doesn't seem to be bestowed by the plane, but rather something he earned himself. It's best to find a way to tame this kind of person."
Titan nodded as if he understood, but didn't ask any more questions.
Tang San continued, "Moreover, our main target right now is Huo Yuhao. I'll deal with Huo Yuhao first, and then I'll have time to deal with him."
Titan replied, "Understood."
Tang San's gaze returned to the water mirror.
In the scene, Liu Yuan and Du Busi are still observing the mist on the edge of the cliff, while Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er stand on the other side. The two groups are separated by a dozen steps, and neither of them makes a move first.
"However…" Tang San pondered for a moment, "This Liu Yuan is indeed a variable. We'll have to come up with a special way to subdue him in the future."
He said this in a very calm tone, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.
But both Titan and Niu Tian knew that anyone whom Tang San could use the word "subdue" was no ordinary person.
Niu Tian stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Lord Tang San, shall I go down to the mortal realm? Let's take this opportunity to test that young man's background?"
Tang San glanced at him and shook his head: "No need. Going down there would make too much noise and attract unnecessary attention. Besides, the poison won't kill you there, so you won't gain anything by going."
Niu Tian did not insist any further.
Tang San withdrew his gaze and leaned back in his chair. He tapped his fingers twice on the armrest, then stopped.
"Let's wait and see," he said. "Let's see how far this Liu Yuan can go."
The image in the water mirror continued to shift.
Meanwhile, in the Sunset Forest.
Liu Yuan and Huo Yuhao have finally reunited!
After both of them entered the Sunset Forest, they walked around a corner and successfully met!
Liu Yuan, Long Aotian, and Du Busi were slightly taken aback when they saw Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er.
However, someone like Long Aotian couldn't poison them to death...
They focused more on Huo Yuhao's body.
After all, Wang Qiu'er is an imperial auspicious beast. Although her cultivation level is not high, due to the special nature of her species, even if she is not poisoned to death, it is impossible to see her true form in a short time.
But Liu Yuan wasn't in pain. He recognized Wang Qiu'er at a glance; after all, she looked exactly like Wang Dong'er, but their demeanor was different. So, who else could it be but Wang Qiu'er?
He began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er were also shocked when they saw Liu Yuan and the others.
However, Huo Yuhao did not harbor much hostility towards Liu Yuan. He only glanced at Liu Yuan with some surprise and a complicated expression.
Wang Qiu'er was different. A hint of killing intent flashed in her eyes when she looked at Liu Yuan, but she quickly realized her current situation and had to suppress it.
