: Acknowledge him as your former master!

At this point, Tang Hao's injuries had deteriorated to an alarming degree.

What was originally a deep wound on his arm that exposed the bone now produced a tiny, teeth-grinding cracking sound beneath the skin—fine, spiderweb-like cracks were quietly spreading across his arm bone.

Tang Hao looked down at his arm, his pupils contracting slightly, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.

He remembered clearly that when he was first injured, the wound was not nearly as severe as it was now.

With his powerful physique and profound soul power as a titled Douluo, he can suppress and heal ordinary poisons and injuries with just a little effort.

But the power currently residing within him was strangely beyond imagination; not only could it not be suppressed, but it was also constantly eroding his life force.

Tang San's senses were far beyond those of ordinary people, and Tang Hao's movements immediately startled him awake. He abruptly looked up at Tang Hao, whose face was deathly pale, and his voice was filled with barely suppressed worry: "Father, how are you? What happened? How did you get so badly injured?"

Tang Hao looked up at Tang San, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, and then said in a deep voice, "My injury is from the hand of the Spirit Hall."

"They not only hurt me, but also stole the belongings left by your mother."

One sentence instantly ignited the hatred and anger in Tang San's heart.

Tang San clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. His teeth clenched, and his eyes surged with overwhelming hatred and determination: "Father, rest assured, I will repay this debt a hundredfold one day! What the Spirit Hall owes us, I will collect it all, one by one!"

Tang Hao looked at his son, whose eyes were sharp as knives and whose aura was beginning to emerge, and finally a faint hint of satisfaction flashed across his face. He slowly nodded.

Tang San possesses innate full soul power and is also endowed with twin martial souls. His talent is unparalleled throughout history, making him destined to be the most dazzling genius of this generation.

With him around, his desire to take revenge on the Spirit Hall had a greater chance of success.

With his anger subsiding slightly, Tang Hao frowned again, his gaze returning to his worsening injuries. He said in a deep voice, "If this injury is left untreated, it will become a serious problem. I plan to go to the Broken Clan to seek treatment."

·······················

He then briefly told Tang San about the origins of the Po clan and its intricate connections with the Clear Sky Sect. The Po clan was originally one of the four major single-attribute families under the Clear Sky Sect, skilled in poison, healing, and alchemy. However, the Clear Sky Sect later closed its gates, and the Po clan was forced to wander to other places.

The more Tang San listened, the brighter his eyes became.

Alchemy, poison making, and healing were the signature skills of the Tang Clan disciples.

In an instant, countless Tang Sect secret techniques flashed through his mind, including those miraculous elixirs that could bring the dead back to life, heal the wounded, and aid in cultivation.

He secretly pondered that since the Broken Clan specialized in this path, they must possess a large collection of rare herbs and elixirs. If he could obtain their assistance, his cultivation and strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds.

Tang Hao gazed out the window, his expression calm, but his heart was already resolute.

In his view, even if they were abandoned by the Haotian Sect, the loyalty ingrained in the bones of the Po clan would never easily disappear.

They will still recognize him as Haotian Douluo, and as their former master!

··························

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by Tang Hao's reckless attack on the main hall of the Spirit Hall, Fang Yuan slightly subsided the pale blue aura around him, completely concealing himself without revealing even a trace of his aura.

He activated the invisibility and aura concealment effects of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, and silently darted out of Martial Soul City amidst the dazzling array of soul skill lights and the panicked Martial Soul Hall soul masters.

As he sped along, Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt.

When did Tang Hao become so fierce?

In the storyline he was familiar with, even if Haotian Douluo hated the Spirit Hall, he would at most vent his anger by attacking some branch halls and strongholds outside. He would never go so far as to directly kill his way to Spirit City and storm the heavily guarded Papal Palace.

Was it due to the previous injury? Or some other unexpected event?

Fang Yuan couldn't figure it out, and didn't have time to think about it in detail.

Right now, there's only one important thing—escape.

Whether it's Bibi Dong or Qian Renxue, neither of these two women can be considered normal in his eyes.

One was so obsessive that he imprisoned him in a secret room; the other wasn't much better.

Even after breaking out of Wuhun City and entering the continuous mountains and forests outside the city, Fang Yuan did not relax his vigilance in the slightest.

Because that feeling of being watched, like a thorn in one's back, never dissipated.

—It's the Rakshasa god!?

Doesn't that guy take a break?

Fang Yuan then made a self-deprecating remark.

That's true, gods don't need to rest and are never tired.

He let out a soft breath, finally able to calmly review the previous simulation.

In this simulation, he swept through everything in his path and finally ascended to godhood, causing quite a stir and earning extremely high scores and rewards.

However, the costs and potential risks should not be ignored.

How many people will be affected by the simulation?

Fang Yuan himself couldn't be sure.

Fortunately, he remained extremely cautious throughout the simulation.

Aside from having to reveal some things to several supreme gods when completing the Rakshasa God Test.

The rest of the time he remained behind the scenes, proceeding cautiously and never easily revealing himself to the public.

Even when dealing with the Golden Dragon King, one must conceal one's identity. Only a handful of people truly understand his ultimate intentions or even witness his destruction of the divine realm.

He has minimized the impact that can be controlled.

··························

Fang Yuan increased his speed again, his figure completely disappearing into the depths of the dense forest. This time, he went into the wild to avoid being followed.

Just as Fang Yuan was using the concealment effect of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover to travel swiftly through the dense forest, Xiao Wu, who had been quietly under his command, suddenly spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly yet unusually firm.

"Fang Yuan..."

She paused, as if making up her mind, and said:

"I can...voluntarily sacrifice myself for you, giving you all my 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone."

Fang Yuan paused slightly and looked down at her.

Xiao Wu bit her lower lip, a trace of sorrow flashing in her eyes, and continued, "But I have one condition—you must help me kill Bibi Dong."

Fang Yuan looked at the pale-faced girl in front of him, who was still trying to hold on, his eyes cold and his tone calm to the point of cruelty: "You were always mine."

Xiao Wu was taken aback.

"What's the point of this deal?" Fang Yuan glanced at her indifferently, speaking with reason and evidence. "Besides, you're asking me to help you kill Bibi Dong... Do you even know her current talent and strength?"

He paused, his tone growing colder: "Your sacrifice alone isn't worth that price."

Xiao Wu lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, her heart feeling icy cold.

She knew all along.

However, her current cultivation level is only that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast that has just transformed into human form. How could she possibly be a match for a Title Douluo?

Moreover, she already knew the deeper rules of this world—soul beasts are ultimately just soul beasts, and are born unable to become gods.

Bibi Dong, on the other hand, has already embarked on the path of divine trials, bearing the inheritance of the Rakshasa godhood, and will surely become a true deity in the future.

She wanted to avenge her mother, to take revenge on the Spirit Hall, and to kill Bibi Dong...

With her own strength, it's simply wishful thinking.

A sense of despair slowly crept up from the bottom of my heart.

Xiao Wu suddenly raised her head, her eyes slightly red, but she stared intently at the perpetually indifferent face in front of her, as if grasping at the last straw.

Her voice trembled: "I can tell you... the secret of the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"Although Da Ming and Er Ming are 100,000-year-old soul beasts, in the true depths, they are nothing more than members of that group of monsters..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fang Yuan interrupted her calmly.

"Feel sorry."

Fang Yuan's eyes were calm, and his tone was indifferent: "The secret you mentioned... I should already know it."

Xiao Wu's words suddenly froze on the tip of her tongue.

impossible……

That's absolutely impossible.

···························

In the lifetime she could remember, although her mother kindly took in Fang Yuan, who had just taken human form, it concerned the most core taboo of the Star Dou Great Forest. Her mother was extremely vigilant from beginning to end and never revealed a single word.

Even she herself only vaguely learned a little bit about it from her mother after she grew up.

How could Fang Yuan possibly know?

Xiao Wu blurted out almost without thinking, her voice sharp and laced with suppressed accusation: "How did you know? Did you... eavesdrop on my conversation with my mother?!"

This was the only possibility she could think of.

Fang Yuan looked at her excited yet wary appearance, but his heart remained cold and undisturbed.

"I not only know."

His tone was calm, yet carried an air of unwavering confidence, "I know far more than you and your mother combined."

Xiao Wu's pupils suddenly contracted.

"You mean beneath the Lake of Life?" Fang Yuan enunciated each word clearly, uttering names that existed only in legends, "There dwell terrifying beasts with cultivation far exceeding 100,000 years: the Emerald Swan, the Bear King, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon... Each one is an existence that neither Da Ming nor Er Ming can contend with."

With each word spoken, Xiao Wu's face paled a little more.

Her initial angry and questioning expression gradually froze, replaced by blankness and deep disbelief.

These were names she had only vaguely heard, and even her mother dared not mention them much, yet Fang Yuan could speak of them so casually.

Xiao Wu finally came to the realization that Fang Yuan wasn't eavesdropping; he genuinely knew these secrets, which even 100,000-year-old soul beasts considered taboo, from the very beginning.

Seeing her distraught appearance, Fang Yuan continued to bargain, saying, "Let's change the terms. As long as it's not too outrageous, maybe I can agree to it."

He even silently gave himself a thumbs up in his mind.

Without any direct deception, his "sincerity" is truly commendable.

But Xiao Wu seemed not to have heard him at all.

The last glimmer of light in her eyes went out completely, and she retreated back into her own closed world, no longer willing to say another word to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan sighed in disappointment.

They then packed their bags and continued their journey.

His target this time is Poseidon Island.

The Sea God Island is located in the middle of the sea, near the west coast of the Heavenly Dou Empire. The best route to Sea God Island is to set sail from Hanhai City.

My strength is now sufficient to begin the Sea God's Trial...

···························

The Divine Realm, Temple of the God of Life

The clouds and mist surge like a vast ocean, and divine light has shrouded the area for millions of years.

Inside the Temple of the God of Life, the God of Life stood atop an endless sea of ​​flowers, his body radiating a warm yet boundless life force. His gaze pierced through the dimensional barrier, silently watching the chaos that had just subsided on the Douluo Continent.

When she saw that Fang Yuan had managed to escape in the chaos, a rare and obvious look of surprise flashed across her eyes.

Fang Yuan actually succeeded?

Moreover, a gentle yet faint aura of a soul beast was following him.

What surprised her even more was that the one who covered Fang Yuan's escape and shielded him from the senses of the gods and the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall was none other than Bibi Dong, the successor of the Rakshasa God.

The god of life was slightly surprised.

The Rakshasa Goddess has always been cold, violent, selfish, and ruthless. How could her successor do good deeds?

They even allowed the other party to leave calmly with the Vast Ocean Universe Cover left behind by the Sea God.

She doesn't believe it!

But before her surprise could dissipate, when her gaze fell upon the petite figure beside Fang Yuan, and she saw clearly the other's soul beast origin and captured the moment the two had just spoken, the gentle face of the God of Life suddenly darkened.

The soft-boned rabbit, which took 100,000 years to transform, took human form.

A soul beast that she considered beneath her notice.

This rabbit actually attempted to use a sacrifice as a bargaining chip to entice Fang Yuan, whom she secretly observed and even regarded as a potential successor, to kill the Rakshasa God Examiner Bibi Dong.

"presumptuous."

The God of Life let out a cold shout in his heart, and even the gentle divine power of life around him was tinged with a chill.

In the current situation of Douluo Continent, humans and soul beasts are inherently opposed.

The divine realm, in particular, is extremely wary of the soul beast lineage.

The war between the dragon gods that swept across the entire world and nearly overturned the foundation of the divine realm remains a lingering shadow in the hearts of the gods.

Since then, the dragon race has been almost wiped out, and the soul beast race has also been feared and ostracized.

Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast that can transform into a human and has the highest talent is still considered an anomaly in the eyes of the gods.

Throughout history, no deity has ever chosen a transformed soul beast as its successor.

This rabbit, not only born a soul beast, dared to bewitch those she valued and instigate a struggle between the two successors to the divine throne.

His intentions are despicable.

The Goddess of Life's eyes turned slightly cold, but fortunately, Fang Yuan's performance satisfied her. She decisively rejected the rabbit's temptation and continued on her way...

what!

She looked in the direction Fang Yuan had fled.

Passing through the Heavenly Dou Empire, continue—to the coast!

In addition, there's the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in Fang Yuan's possession.

The god of life finally adjusted his mindset and started to take things seriously.

This is a successor I have high hopes for, how could the Sea God steal him away?
