Douluo Continent, Dimensional Space
A Yin happily leaned against Tang Hao's shoulder. Over the past twenty thousand years, they had spent most of their time either asleep or battling the Dimensional Will and the Life Core (a relationship somewhat like Gaia and the Arajie). Therefore, moments like these—quietly enjoying time together—were incredibly rare.
"Douluo Continent, the convergence of fate has come again after ten thousand years. In the previous era, we failed to seize control of the dimension's authority, allowing a certain Huo Yuhao, who does not belong to our Tang family, to become the Child of Fate. That was my negligence. Such a mistake will never happen again. From now on, every Child of Fate in the cycle of ten thousand years must be someone from the Tang family," Tang Hao said, sensing the flow of fate through his dimensional authority.
A Yin replied, "The war in the Divine Realm is over. Under Tang San's planning, the two God Kings of Life and Destruction have entrusted their divine seeds to Tang San."
Tang Hao sneered. "Two foolish God Kings who have lived for untold eons—still not even as capable as our Tang San. It's about time they abdicate and make way for new rulers. These two divine seeds will be used to forge two new God Kings for our Tang family."
He continued, "Not long ago, Tang San said he would secretly release the Golden Dragon King, then fight it, and eventually guide it to pass its Golden Dragon King bloodline to our grandson, Tang Wulin. This is the key to our scheme to control the Dragon God's bloodline. How is your progress with Gu Yuena?"
A Yin smiled faintly, "Don't worry. I have already influenced the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena during her slumber with the authority of the Life Core. Only the Soul Beast Overlord Gu Yuena is worthy to be a daughter-in-law of our Tang family. Though in the past she was the overlord of the soul beasts, if she and Wulin become a pair, how will that relationship be defined?"
Tang Hao snorted arrogantly, "Hmph, so what if she's the Soul Beast Overlord? Once she steps through the doors of the Tang family, she'll have to obediently call you 'Grandma'!"
A Yin asked, "What if she doesn't obey?"
Tang Hao's eyes flashed coldly. "Then she'll be tamed—just like we tamed Huo Yuhao back then. We'll make her submissive, obediently bearing children for the Tang family!"
A Yin chuckled softly, as if mocking the inevitable fate awaiting the Silver Dragon King. In the soul beast world, where bloodlines dictate hierarchy strictly, having the Silver Dragon King call her 'Grandma' and Little Wulin call her 'Mom' would be an unimaginable humiliation. Once unthinkable, but now, with the power of the Tang family, even though she is only a secondary god now, her status rivals that of a God King.
Tang Hao's gaze burned intensely. "The next twenty thousand years are critical. Once we bring Gu Yuena into the Tang family and she bears a son with Wulin, we can seize the Dragon God's divine status. Then, our Tang family will add the three God Kings of Life, Destruction, and the Dragon God. Our position will be unshakable."
A malicious voice echoed from the depths of the dimension, "Three God King positions? You're being way too greedy. Aren't you afraid of bursting your own stomach with such a big appetite?"
Immediately, the Dimensional Will and the residual consciousness of the Life Core launched a final revolt. This sudden uprising dealt heavy blows to the unprepared Tang Hao and A Yin.
"Not good! Weren't the Dimensional Will and Life Core already refined by us?" A Yin said in shock.
"I don't know, but one thing is certain: this is their last counterattack. Let's finish them off." Tang Hao's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Inside the dimensional space, A Yin and Tang Hao began to confront the residual powers of the Dimensional Will and Life Core.
"Grandfather, Grandmother," a voice came from behind them while they fought the Dimensional Will and Life Core.
A Yin turned her head to see who it was. It was only the divine consciousness of Huo Yuhao, whose strength had reached the level of a secondary god.
Huo Yuhao's consciousness said, "Grandfather, Grandmother, the Golden Dragon King in the Divine Realm has already been killed. Father sensed changes in the Douluo Continent dimension and specially sent me to assist you."
Tang Hao nodded without suspicion. "Yuhao, you've come just in time. Join us in suppressing these two scoundrels."
"Don't worry, leave it to me. Today, I, Huo Yuhao, will eliminate you two scoundrels." Huo Yuhao immediately unleashed his two signature divine techniques: Fate's Sorrow and Soul Severance.
The two divine techniques split into four beams of light, striking Tang Hao and A Yin directly. Unprepared, they were hit and briefly stripped of the divine seeds of the Dimensional Core and Life Core. The original Dimensional Core and Life Core of the Douluo world seized this chance to reclaim their divine status.
As Tang Hao and A Yin recovered, Tang Hao realized what had just happened. Their twenty thousand year plan to seize the Dimensional Core and Life Core had failed at the last moment.
The situation worsened. After regaining their positions, the Dimensional Will and Life Core ruthlessly sealed the dimensional space, cutting off Tang Hao and A Yin's retreat and launching a full assault on them.
Huo Yuhao's divine sense also aggressively attacked Tang Hao and A Yin. For a time, they were caught in a pincer attack.
Without the authority of the Dimensional Core, Tang Hao couldn't withstand Huo Yuhao's divine sense and was forced to retreat step by step. His eyes reddened, breathing heavily like a bull, and angrily shouted at Huo Yuhao, "Huo Yuhao, do you know what you're doing?"
"You old dog Tang Hao, of course I know what you're scheming, and I know exactly what I must do." Huo Yuhao's divine consciousness ruthlessly attacked Tang Hao. His unstable divine sense was supplemented by the dimension's energy, making it impossible to dissipate for now.
"Have you forgotten the kindness the Tang family showed you?" A Yin said, suppressed by the Life Core, as the countless years of devouring and dominating life's will were finally turned back on her.
"What kindness? The Tang family only trained me to be a loyal dog," Huo Yuhao angrily retorted, never holding back his assault.
"Huo Yuhao, you only became a god because Tang San supported you." Tang Hao's Hao Tian Hammer shattered as he repeatedly retreated.
"What a joke! I, Huo Yuhao, was the Child of Fate in the last era, destined to become a god. The only reason Tang San valued me was to train me into a loyal dog," Huo Yuhao said coldly. "But I clearly know my debts and grievances. I owe the Douluo world my gratitude for my status today. Yet now, your Tang family has seized the will of all living beings with the heart of one family. How can I stand by and watch? It's a pity I was born into your scheme. I've endured for ten thousand years, waiting for this opportunity. If I don't repay this world and free all living beings from captivity, and instead continue to be your dog and aid a tiger, then as the Child of Fate, I would be no better than a beast. Today, I will join forces with the Dimensional Will and Life Core to destroy you two scoundrels!"
