Chapter 24: Tang 3's Plan
God Realm, Poseidon Temple.
Sea God Tang San sat on his throne, the radiance of his divine power forming a hazy yet majestic aura around him.
His eyes were slightly closed, yet his divine sense seemed to encompass the boundless realm of the gods, a subtle hint of contemplation lingering between his brows.
"Third Brother!"
A soft call broke the silence of the temple.
A slender figure seemed to leap lightly out from the light and shadow. Xiao Wu sat affectionately on Tang San's lap, wrapped her arms around his waist, and pressed her little head against his firm chest.
Tang San's solemn expression melted instantly, revealing a doting yet helpless smile as he gently stroked her long, smooth hair with his fingers: "You, even after all these years, you still love to act spoiled as before."
"Now that I am an enforcer of the divine realm and head of the divine council, wouldn't my dignity be completely tarnished if other gods saw me like this?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu not only didn't let go, but instead snuggled closer to him, pouting and saying, "Hmph, I don't care."
"You are the God King, the enforcer of the divine realm, but first and foremost, you are my husband, my third brother!"
Tang San shook his head helplessly and reached out to hug Xiao Wu even tighter.
After a brief moment of tenderness, Xiao Wu rose slightly, her gaze falling on the lingering sorrow between Tang San's brows.
She reached out her finger and gently pressed it against his brow, trying to smooth out the unseen wrinkles.
"Third Brother, don't always work so hard."
Xiao Wu's voice was filled with heartache: "The divine realm isn't just home to you as a god-king, why carry all the burdens on your own shoulders?"
We're spending less and less time together these days.
Tang San sighed softly: "The two god-kings, Good and Evil, abandoned their duties long ago under the pretext of a bet and went to the mortal realm to live a carefree life."
"The God of Destruction... his ideas are too extreme and radical, while the Goddess of Life has always disliked mundane affairs."
"Now, within the Divine Realm Committee, I am the only one capable of overseeing the overall situation, coordinating all parties, and maintaining order and balance."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu snorted irritably, "They're so irresponsible! Just because you're the newcomer, they dumped all the most complicated tasks on you, making it difficult for my husband and me to even have a proper conversation."
Tang San's gaze turned to the outside of the temple, piercing through layers of clouds and divine light.
His voice carried a hint of complexity: "The enforcers of the divine realm may seem high above, holding the fate of all living beings in their hands, but the weight of this responsibility is not something everyone is willing to bear."
He paused, a rare hint of emotion in his voice: "Sometimes I think, if I had stayed in Douluo Continent a little longer back then, perhaps... I could have made more arrangements."
"Now, one day in the God Realm is equivalent to one year in the mortal realm. Due to the violent collision of continental plates four thousand years ago, the Tang Sect, which I founded with my own hands, has now... declined."
Xiao Wu gently comforted him, "Third Brother, this is the choice of the times, not your fault."
Tang San nodded, his expression softening slightly: "Indeed, the changes in continental plates and the succession of civilizations also signify the continuous evolution and reshaping of the lower realm."
Then, his tone shifted, becoming somewhat relaxed, and he said, "However, it's interesting to note that I recently observed the lower realms and discovered that a new star is rising on the Douluo Continent."
"Moreover, his fate... seems to have an intricate connection with my Tang Clan."
"I tried to see his future with divine power, but I was blocked by layers of thick fog of fate."
"This child has an extraordinary destiny. I hope he can truly make the Tang Clan great again."
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and she smiled, "Even you can't see through him? Then he must be a truly remarkable junior!"
She then gracefully removed herself from Tang San's lap, smiling sweetly: "Alright, you, the God King, are very busy, so I won't take up any more of your precious time."
Before she finished speaking, her figure vanished from the temple like a phantom, leaving only a faint fragrance.
Not far away, behind a huge pillar of the sea god, a small figure was hiding silently, listening to every word of his parents' conversation.
She is none other than Tang San and Xiao Wu's beloved daughter, Tang Wutong!
Her bright eyes were wide open, her mind replaying the conversation her parents had just had.
"Douluo Continent sounds really interesting!"
A strong sense of curiosity and longing stirred within her, and she tiptoed away from the temple.
Sitting upright on his throne, Tang San turned his head slightly the instant she disappeared, his gaze seemingly unintentionally sweeping over the direction where his daughter had just hidden.
A thought suddenly occurred to him and lingered in his mind for a long time.
A flicker of struggle and hesitation flashed in Tang San's eyes, but it only lasted for a moment before turning into unwavering determination!
The divine power that had been calm and still around him suddenly surged, and the next moment, an extremely condensed golden beam of light shot out from his fingertip and went straight into the central hub of the divine realm in the temple!
"The chosen one..."
Tang San whispered, his divine sense following the passage established by the central hub of the God Realm, probing towards the Douluo Continent in the lower realm.
"Let me see... just how much you've grown!"
Even as a god-king, holding the central authority of the divine realm and possessing the power to connect all realms.
But for this special "new star" on the Douluo Continent, his view was still like looking at a fire through a veil, making it difficult to see clearly.
The fog that enveloped its fate was unusually thick, as if some extraordinary force was concealing it.
However, with the full infusion of divine power and divine thought, the information flow detected this time was much clearer than before.
However, Tang San's brows furrowed slightly.
Because he keenly sensed that the trajectory of this new star's fate had changed significantly compared to when he last explored it!
"Could it be that our previous investigation was flawed?"
"Or perhaps... during this time, he encountered some kind of 'miracle' that could rewrite the course of his destiny?"
The thought flashed through Tang San's mind, but he did not delve into the root cause of this abnormal change. The variables in the lower realm were infinite, and perhaps he had simply failed to see the whole picture before.
Tang San's lips curled into an intrigued smile. He didn't think much of it and simply chuckled.
"Eight years old, and already a Great Soul Master?"
"The growth rate is much faster than the last prediction... No wonder he is the chosen one."
Tang San's eyes shone brightly; these changes in the other person had piqued his interest.
In any case, he has already "valued" the other party, and they will definitely become an asset to the rise of the Tang Sect in the future.
In that case, the faster they grow, the better!
"It seems..." Tang San withdrew his probing divine sense and muttered to himself, "My original plan needs to be adjusted accordingly."
