Chapter 112: Tang San: Let the Child of Destiny Suffer, I'll Reap the Benefits!
God Realm Central Hub.
Dai Mubai and Zhou Weiqing were currently guarding it. One day in the God Realm equated to one year in the mortal world.
Although so many things had happened on Douluo Star, for the God Realm, only a single day had passed.
Due to mutual restraint and the fact that the two gods were merely acting as proxies, they could not interfere with other authorities beyond ensuring the central hub's normal operation.
What was the purpose of the God Realm Central Hub?
In the hands of a certain scoundrel, it was a Peeping Tom's device for spying on various lower realms. But for Dai Mubai and Zhou Weiqing, it merely served its most basic function: ensuring its normal operation.
They did not possess the authority to oversee God Realm affairs or make judgments, nor did they have the ability to do so. Their Divine Power could not manage energy regulation and conversion, and the central hub's strategic defense and crisis response functions were out of the question.
Therefore, besides using the God Realm Central Hub to maintain order and heritage in the God Realm and observe the dynamics of subordinate planes like Douluo Star, they could do nothing else.
The God Realm Central Hub could gather cosmic energy and convert it into immortal spiritual qi. This energy network covered all planes under the God Realm's jurisdiction. If they wished, the two could naturally perceive the general situation in the lower realms.
Today, Dai Mubai sensed a new star on the Douluo plane, closely related to him, radiating its own unique 'light'.
However, it was very faint, partly because of his reluctance to directly observe the lower planes, and partly due to his limited strength.
If he hadn't left a legacy on Douluo Star ten thousand years ago, and hadn't consciously sensed it just now, he might not have even detected this new star's appearance.
Limited by Zhou Weiqing's presence and his own strength, he didn't have time to perceive it in more detail. Coupled with the constantly changing power of destiny, he couldn't even sense the situation on Douluo Star.
The God Realm could not interfere with the development of the lower realms; this was an ironclad rule that every God had to obey. Even if he could vaguely sense something, he could not use his authority to spy on the lower realms.
However, he had already begun to wonder if it was his own bloodline or a successor suitable for his God Position.
Recalling how Tang San's chaotic power of destiny had caused the God of Destruction to step forward and reclaim the God Realm Central Hub's authority, he seemed to have vaguely guessed something.
Did Tang San's previous disruption of the power of destiny mean he had discovered this new star appearing on Douluo Star and interfered arbitrarily? Why would he do that?
Moreover, this new star was clearly related to him, so why did Tang San hide it from him?
Due to the God of Destruction's interference and the hasty transfer of the God Realm Central Hub's authority, Tang San had not had time to inform Dai Mubai of his arrangements for Douluo Star. There was no unspoken understanding between them.
After so many years of coexisting in the God Realm, Dai Mubai clearly understood what kind of person Tang San, his former brother, had become.
From Boss Dai to Big Brother, and then to Mubai—just looking at the change in address, Lord Asura God, who possessed God King strength, was no longer the Tang San he knew on the Douluo Continent. Everyone has selfish motives, and so do Gods.
When all of the Shrek Seven Devils became gods, they were spirited and ambitious. But now, Ma Hongjun was burdened by self-reproach and regret every day due to Bai Chenxiang's psychological imbalance. Could Tang San not see this?
It was impossible. If he wished, Tang San could completely revive Bai Chenxiang and let her reunite with Ma Hongjun. As a God King, granting Bai Chenxiang an insignificant God Position would be effortless. Yet, Tang San ultimately did not do so.
Was it because he was completely selfless? But why did he interfere with the lower realms? None of this made sense. And now he was hiding his interference with this new star in the lower realms, which might be related to him...
Shaking his head, Dai Mubai decided that regardless of whether Tang San knew, he would keep this matter a secret— not just for himself, but also for the new star on Douluo Star who might be related to him.
"What? Did you notice anything?"
Zhou Weiqing looked at the pensive Dai Mubai and curiously approached him to ask.
"Nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable."
Dai Mubai did not trust Zhou Weiqing, so he did not share his feelings.
The latter didn't care, as they were merely jointly elected representatives. The actual control of the God Realm Central Hub remained in the hands of God Kings like the God of Destruction and the Asura God. They only needed to ensure that the power of destiny would not riot again.
After Zhou Weiqing left, Dai Mubai took a deep look at the Douluo plane, his eyes filled with indescribable complexity.
Tang San, are you scheming against me, or against that new star on Douluo Star? What is your purpose?
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Tang San, whose divine sense had been destroyed and who was still contemplating how to arrange things on Douluo Star, was completely unaware that Dai Mubai already had his own thoughts. However, even if he knew, it would be useless, as he wouldn't be able to interfere with the God Realm Central Hub's authority for a short time.
And as for sending messages to the lower realms—the God of Destruction was constantly watching; it was out of the question.
He now only wanted to exert more influence on Douluo Star, hoping his father, mother, and those two 'good brothers' would notice something. Otherwise, once the new star grew up, there would truly be nothing left for him.
Tang San was currently holding a spear about five meters long, entirely brilliant gold, with dragon-shaped dark patterns on its surface. It was the Golden Dragon Spear, formed from the Golden Dragon King's forty-ninth rib. Due to the great battle, it was currently only a divine artifact.
Because he lacked the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, he could not use this evolving divine artifact.
In addition, the other half of his daughter's soul and divine sense had also been sealed within this divine artifact.
His original plan was to split his daughter into two parts: one part to be linked to that new star on Douluo Star, and the other to be placed within the body of the Emperor Auspicious Beast on Douluo Star, which he had noticed long ago.
(Some say it was noticed when Huo Yuhao and the Emperor Auspicious Beast's attributes connected, allowing Tang San to secretly intervene through Wang Dong's divine sense and inject part of his divine sense into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. This will be changed to follow this book's plot.)
Of course, this required an opportune moment: when the Child of Destiny and the Emperor Auspicious Beast of Douluo Star formed a fated connection.
If he still controlled the God Realm Central Hub before, this would have been no difficulty at all. The Child of Destiny and the Emperor Auspicious Beast would inevitably meet, and he could use this to scheme for the luck of the soul beast clan.
Once the two resonated in destiny, whether it was the Child of Destiny's luck or the luck carried by the Emperor Auspicious Beast, both would become his possessions. The entire Douluo Star's luck would be obtained by him.
And because of the Golden Dragon bloodline possessed by the Emperor Auspicious Beast, he could also guide it to transform into a human form, allowing his daughter's other half of the soul to take its place, achieving bloodline and luck plunder.
Thus, not only could his daughter gain the Golden Dragon bloodline and transfer the Auspicious Beast's luck and the Golden Dragon Spear to his family, but she could also make the Emperor Auspicious Beast a substitute vessel. This would eliminate her fated tribulation and ensure her future status in the God Realm would not be threatened.
Finally, when he schemed for the Emperor Auspicious Beast's sacrifice, allowing his daughter's two souls to merge and return, recreating his daughter, everything could form a logical closed loop.
Whether it was the Child of Destiny or the Emperor Auspicious Beast, both would fulfill their roles as tools, transferring all their luck to the Tang Clan.
Let the Emperor Auspicious Beast and the Child of Destiny suffer a bit, and I will gain the greatest benefits. Ensuring his daughter would have no further tribulations, a rise in bloodline, and a surge in luck.
And if he schemed against his good brother Rong Nianbing, making the Child of Destiny a god and having him become his pawn after ascending to the God Realm, coupled with ownership of the Golden Dragon Spear divine artifact, it would be simply perfect.
It didn't matter if the Child of Destiny didn't obey; he didn't even care about the will of the Douluo Star plane, so he could certainly handle a Child of Destiny.
As long as he personally trained the opponent in the end, the other party would definitely become his aide. No matter how he looked at it, it was a perfectly good deal.
Originally, all of this could have been achieved, but now...
