After a thousand strikes, Niu Tian’s rugged Face was so swollen that his eyes were squeezed shut.
His robust body swayed, whether from anger or truly being knocked unconscious, as he fell heavily to the ground…
“…”
With a slight exertion of force from his foot, Baili Du stepped on Tai Tan and knocked him unconscious as well.
He let out a long sigh of relief and looked up cheerfully at the snowy sky, as if he could see through it to the man who thought he controlled everything from behind the scenes.
“This is only the beginning.
Wait for me in the God Realm, my dear father-in-Law…”
He quickly adjusted his mindset and walked toward the Haotian Fortress.
It wasn’t easy to come here; it would be a pity not to take a look.
Because in a corner on the third floor of the Haotian Fortress, there was someone who had witnessed everything.
She was an important guest specifically “protected” by Baili Du.
A cold smile played on his lips as he flickered and arrived on the third floor of the Haotian Fortress.
“Clack, clack, clack…”
Baili Du’s figure appeared at the top of the stairs, slowly and with a great sense of oppression walking toward the little girl curled up in the corner, his shadow gradually enveloping her.
The clacking sound of his soles hitting the floor made the little girl tremble with fear.
She instinctively held something in front of her to shield herself.
Her delicate Face was covered in tear stains, but the Blue-Gold Trident Symbol on her forehead remained motionless.
“You…
don’t come over…
don’t come over…
Daddy, save me…
Mommy, save me…”
To a certain “kind” father, the truth he wanted to conceal was probably more important than his daughter’s life.
Baili Du crouched down.
Even while crouching, his tall and slender frame was much larger than the child.
He looked indifferently at the person who, in the script titled [The Unrivaled Tang Sect] held by Tang San, eventually became his “wife.” There wasn’t the slightest ripple in his heart.
A broken mirror is hard to mend, let alone a heart that has already been wounded and riddled with holes.
A stitched-together monster?
A schizophrenic?
A daddy’s girl?
It seemed all of these could describe her.
Wang Dong?
Wang Dong’er?
Tang Wutong?
Xiao Qi?
To be honest, even he, her former husband, didn’t know what name to call her.
But what he did know was that [Wang Qiuer] was definitely not a part of [Tang Wutong]!
[Reading that douluo world extra, it felt like Qiuer had won over Princess Tang.
I originally wanted to set it that way too, but then Snow Empress and Liya would be hard to handle.
So for now, Princess Tang is still Princess Tang, and the Qiuer belonging to God King Yuhao will be resurrected.]
He didn’t want to have any more entanglements with this woman, nor did he want his current self in this era to have any emotional involvement with her.
Although he knew she was just a tool, he was sorry—if Tang Wutong still shamelessly pestered the Huo Yuhao of this timeline, there was no telling what he might do.
For now, he still had principles and wouldn’t be so shameless as to bully a child.
He smiled with extreme contempt, his voice full of mockery as he patted the little girl’s Face without a trace of pity.
“Miss Tang Wutong, what makes you think that I, Huo Yuhao, a dignified God King, would be unworthy of you, a mere Second Class God?”
Naturally, she couldn’t understand these words.
After a scream, she lost control and fainted.
“…”
Looking expressionlessly at the unconscious little girl, he scanned the third floor of the Haotian Fortress.
Tang San really left quite a few good things in the Haotian Fortress.
The Sea God Pillars used to collect Power Of Faith and condense god-bestowed spirit rings, the access point to the Sea God Legacy space, the Evil-Sealing Array of the Asura God…
If he had put this much effort into the Tang Sect, the Tang Sect wouldn’t have declined to its current state.
After some thought, he still felt that they should be completely destroyed.
Without any hesitation, Baili Du made a stomping motion toward the floor of the third floor of the Haotian Fortress.
“Boom!”
In an instant, the entire third floor of the Haotian Fortress was directly stomped into pieces by him.
Looking at the ruins of the Haotian Fortress, a satisfied arc curved at the corner of Baili Du’s mouth.
“!!!
Mmm…”
Before he could even celebrate, a sharp pain from his lower abdomen spread throughout his body.
Even though he had been tormented by Tang San countless times and had long become somewhat immune to pain, he couldn’t help but crouch down and pant heavily.
The Spatial Attribute third Soul Core in his lower abdomen was originally a pure silver color.
But since he escaped from the Reincarnation Hurricane and the Space-Time Turbulence, it seemed to have been tainted by the power of the Space-Time Turbulence and turned into the same silver-gray color.
Baili Du had a feeling that the reason he was still alive was probably because of this thing…
but the power contained within it was truly terrifying!
That was the power of the Space-Time Turbulence generated after the explosion of a Divine Star that was about to take shape.
Although he only had a portion of it in his body, it wasn’t something a mere God King like him could withstand.
“Huff, huff…”
Frowning deeply, he mobilized his Divine Sense to continue strengthening the Seal on the third Soul Core.
It looks like I need to go to the God Realm sooner; four years probably won’t be sustainable…
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but recall the root of all this in his mind.
He didn’t actually care that much about the destruction of the [Great God Circle] and the [Dragon God Realm].
What truly felt suspicious to him was why they were destroyed.
In fact, it wasn’t without reason that Tang San and Lan Xuanyu were confident in establishing a Divine Star.
Even the [God of Heavenly Punishment], the opposite of the Creation God, had become the [Guardian God] and joined the [Great God Circle].
No matter how bad the Laws of the Universe were, they should at least give the brother of the Creation God some Face, right?
But why would that [Giant God of Finality] explode together with the [Guardian God]?
What was the origin of that [Giant God of Finality]?
And why…
was he the only one still alive?
It might be related to the fact that he fled right at the start, unlike the other God Kings who chose to fight.
But Baili Du felt that if someone could blow up a Supreme God King like the Dragon God with one punch, no matter how far a mere Emotion God King like himself ran, he shouldn’t have been able to escape the range of the opponent’s attack…
yet he was the only one who survived…
Lan Xuanyu didn’t count, as he was grabbed on a whim.
To be honest, he still didn’t understand why such a tragedy occurred, but he vaguely felt it might be related to the Tang Family.
This was just his guess.
Perhaps what the Tang Family did was so much that even the Laws of the Universe could no longer tolerate it, so an absolutely irresistible enemy was released to wipe out the [Great God Circle] and the [Dragon God Realm] in one go.
As for why he was still alive, it might be the final chance given by the Laws of the Universe, allowing someone like him who wasn’t surnamed “Tang” to save everything.
He shook his head and stood up.
He could only take it one step at a time.
He always felt that even if he completely defeated Tang San in this era, it wouldn’t be the end.
Estimating that Tang San in the God Realm would soon discover what happened at the Haotian Fortress, Baili Du clutched his stomach, casually tore open a Gate of the Dead, and entered the Undead Plane.
Once here, even if Tang San used the god realm core to dig three feet into the ground of the Douluo Continent, it would be impossible to find him.
