Chapter 227: Already Asking for Death!
To Tang San, who had lived two lifetimes, manipulating people was nothing new. In his past life, he had used Grandfather Tang Lan from the Tang Sect, and in the Douluo Continent, he had taken advantage of Qian Renxue. He understood deeply that reaching his current position had been no easy feat.
He wanted to follow his plan step by step, gradually taking full control of the Divine Realm and turning it into his personal dominion. However, achieving absolute rule over the Divine Realm required two key factors:
First, "Tang Family members" had to occupy important divine positions. This was crucial because a single major god position held far more significance than multiple minor ones.
In Tang San's vision, the ideal scenario was for the Tang family to hold four God King positions. That way, they would have absolute authority in the Divine Realm. At that point, what god would dare oppose him?
Second, his own power had to be elevated further. This was the foundation for the first goal. If his relationship with Xiao Wu deteriorated, it would greatly weaken his strength and hinder his plans for a "Tang Family Continent" and a "Tang Family Divine Realm".
However, at this moment, Tang San also realized that having Xiao Wu as the Asura Sword Scabbard limited him greatly. If another conflict arose between them in the future, wouldn't Xiao Wu be able to use this against him again?
To be honest, Tang San had never considered this issue before.
He had always believed Xiao Wu loved him deeply. After all, she had once sacrificed herself for him a decision that, for a soul beast, was extraordinarily difficult.
But over time, even the deepest emotions could shift.
With this thought, Tang San put on a gentle expression and said, "Xiao Wu, I promise you, from today onward, I will abandon the idea of having Xiao Qi enter the Emotion Inquiry Valley alone.
You are her mother, and when making decisions for Xiao Qi's well being, I should also consider your feelings. From now on, I will discuss her training plans with you."
He spoke sincerely, but in his heart, Tang San had already planned his next move.
Once Da Ming and Er Ming left, he would station a wisp of his divine consciousness at the Divine Realm's entrance to prevent them from ever meeting Xiao Wu again. If they couldn't even get inside, how could they report anything in the future?
Normally, weaker divine officials like Da Ming and Er Ming couldn't enter the Divine Realm freely. They had to follow proper protocol and pass through the Divine Realm's entrance.
The so called Divine Realm entrance was actually a thin section of the Divine Realm's outer barrier. Over the years, the barrier had thickened considerably, making even its "thinnest" part incredibly strong.
The God Kings had allowed the entrance to exist only to welcome newly ascended gods.
Typically, when a new god entered the Divine Realm, they would appear at a fixed location, where a group of divine officials would be waiting. These officials rotated shifts, and their main duty was to escort the newcomers to meet the God Kings and the Enforcers.
Xiao Wu's expression softened slightly.
She thought to herself, Brother San is still the same Brother San. He may have planned something foolish, but in the end, I was able to pull him back.
"I trust you, Brother San," Xiao Wu said.
Da Ming instinctively opened his mouth, wanting to warn Xiao Wu to take precautions against this happening again.
After all, Tang San was someone who often said one thing and did another. What if he pretended to agree now but acted differently behind her back?
But when Da Ming saw the smile on Xiao Wu's face, he hesitated.
He wanted Xiao Wu to be happy. No matter what, she was Tang San's wife, and if he continued speaking, it might seem like he was deliberately stirring trouble between them.
For a moment, Da Ming was torn.
Er Ming, however, was much more straightforward. Without hesitation, he looked at Xiao Wu and bluntly said, "Sister Xiao Wu, I think you should find a way to supervise Brother San to make sure he doesn't break his promise."
Xiao Wu was taken aback, then shook her head confidently. "Er Ming, don't worry. As long as Brother San makes a promise to me, he will always keep it.
Back then, he swore he would never hunt innocent soul beasts he only killed truly evil ones. I believe he has stayed true to that."
Tang San shot a cold, unnoticed glare at Er Ming but quickly masked it with a warm smile.
"Xiao Wu is right," Tang San said. "I only hunt evil soul beasts. I would never harm innocent ones, because they have a right to live in this world."
Er Ming scoffed internally. Since when does Tang San get to decide whether a soul beast is evil or not?
If you want a soul ring or a soul bone, just say so. Why pretend it's about good and evil?
He wanted to argue further, but suddenly, Da Ming tugged on his sleeve and gave him a look.
Although they were divine officials and could communicate through spiritual transmission, it was pointless here.
Their strength was far below Tang San's, so anything they said telepathically would still be overheard.
To prevent Er Ming from saying something too aggressive, Da Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Xiao Wu, why don't you take some time to monitor Xiao Qi's situation?
You can use your Asura God power it's the power of a God King. If you want, it would be incredibly easy to keep an eye on her."
Xiao Wu paused, then smiled brightly. "Yes! That's a great idea, Da Ming. You're much more reliable than Er Ming. I haven't seen Xiao Qi in days! Brother San, what do you think?"
Since she lived in the Divine Realm, she rarely had the opportunity to use Asura God power, especially since she didn't need to fight here.
Tang San forced a smile and said, "Da Ming's idea is indeed a good one. I think it would be great if you occasionally checked on Xiao Qi."
Tang San was furious inside.
His Emotion Inquiry Valley plan had officially failed.
After all, he couldn't exactly stop Xiao Wu from using her divine power to observe Xiao Qi.
At this moment, he was extremely dissatisfied with Da Ming and Er Ming.
Sure, they had once sacrificed themselves for him.
But they had only done so for Xiao Wu's sake.
Besides, he had revived them and granted them many benefits.
In Tang San's mind, Da Ming and Er Ming should have been eternally grateful, worshipping him like a father, instead of sabotaging his plans.
To Tang San, Da Ming and Er Ming had already asked for death.
But for now, he couldn't act against them.
Besides, he had already split Xiao Qi's soul turning it into Wang Dong and the "true Xiao Qi".
Xiao Wu would never notice because he had deepened his control over the Asura God position.
"It seems I need to work harder to get Xiao Wu pregnant with our second child. That way, her attention will be diverted, and I'll have a chance to restart my plan."
Shrek Academy
After finishing a Soul Battle, Wang Dong leaned against the wall, panting.
She looked at Xu Sanshi, who was smiling beside her, and asked, "Senior Xu, do you think we can defeat the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy?
We're improving, but so are they."
Xu Sanshi puffed out his chest. "Of course, we will win! Shrek Academy is the strongest!
"Just watch I'll put on an amazing performance! With my strength, Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy doesn't stand a chance!"
Although he was speaking to Wang Dong, everyone knew he was actually showing off for Jiang Nannan.
Jiang Nannan, however, simply gave him a look of disdain. She still remembered how Xu Sanshi had hurt her in the past she would never give him the satisfaction of a smile.
