Upon hearing this, Mu Yang appeared shocked, but inwardly, he wasn't too surprised.
The original work mentioned that the Douluo World had a world consciousness, and Reincarnation Paradise would perfectly replicate all aspects of the derivative world, so it was reasonable for the Douluo consciousness to still exist.
Before entering the derivative world, he had considered cooperating with the world consciousness, but the world consciousness was elusive and difficult to find. The only possible way to contact it was through Huo Yuhao, but Huo Yuhao was closely watched by Tang God King…
So he gave up on this idea and decided to look for other collaborators. He didn't expect the other party to come to him, which somewhat surprised Mu Yang.
"The world consciousness is asking me for help? I'm just an ordinary Title Douluo. Whatever can harm you must be more than just a Title Douluo. How can I save you?"
Mu Yang feigned confusion. Although he could guess, he still needed the world consciousness to state it itself to clearly understand its purpose.
"It's that ingrate Sea God! Ten thousand years ago, I bestowed great fortune and opportunity upon him, helping him achieve a dual god position. Yet, he repaid kindness with enmity! He actually wants his two-star flying god father to replace me and become the world consciousness of the Douluo World!"
The world consciousness gnashed its teeth. It was somewhat surprised that Mu Yang knew about it, but it didn't mind, as it saved it the time of explanation.
It cultivated Huo Yuhao to save its own life, but in the original work, it didn't know that its plan had been exposed by Tang God King, and Huo Yuhao ultimately became a stepping stone for Tang San's further advancement.
Or perhaps it knew, but it had no other choice and could only go all out.
The result was still a defeat to the first law of the love-struck continent—love makes people foolish.
"Am I fighting the Sea God? Is that real? And won't the Sea God discover us talking like this?"
"I've temporarily affected his observation of the Douluo World, so don't worry about him discovering our conversation. And you don't need to confront him directly. As long as I help you become a god, it's possible to attract the attention of other God Kings. At that time, Tang San's scheme might be discovered, and he would also be punished."
"Oh~"
A subtle smile appeared on Mu Yang's face. The plan the world consciousness spoke of was indeed a method, but the only drawback of this plan was that the person who became a god might be sacrificed as a result.
Over the past ten thousand years, there have been countless heroes on the Douluo Continent, but no one has been able to become a god.
Leaving aside others, just speaking of Mu En, the current Sea God Pavilion Master, his talent is absolutely top-notch on the Douluo Continent, not much weaker than Huo Yuhao after his cheats, but he still hasn't received a glance from a god.
Mu Yang didn't believe that Tang God King wasn't the reason for this.
It was precisely because he was afraid that becoming a god would attract the attention of other God Kings, leading to the discovery of his ten-thousand-year plan, that Tang San sealed off the path of advancement for other geniuses, until the Douluo Continent was renamed Tang Family Continent.
And with the help of the world consciousness, Mu Yang's probability of becoming a god was definitely 100%. But even if the ten-thousand-year plan was exposed and Tang San was punished, he wouldn't die, as he was a God King after all.
Therefore, the person who caused the plan to be exposed would suffer greatly. Tang San would inevitably decide that this person "had already found a path to death"! He would make things difficult for him in the God Realm.
"Good idea."
Just as the world consciousness was feeling guilty and worried that Mu Yang would reject its plan, Mu Yang nodded.
"I remember there was an Angel God ten thousand years ago, wasn't there? Her god position was shattered, so there should be fragments left. If I can use these fragments to establish my own god position, it will definitely attract the attention of all God Kings. At that time, even if the Sea God wants to conceal his plan, he won't be able to."
The world consciousness wanted to use him, and Mu Yang likewise wanted to use the world consciousness to facilitate his own plans; it was merely mutual utilization.
What's more, he wasn't a native of Douluo and didn't need to ascend to the God Realm.
"Of course there are! I'll take you to find them right now!"
"Alright."
The conversation went smoothly. The world consciousness detached from Huo Yuhao and prepared to lead Mu Yang to find the god position fragments.
"Where am I…?"
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes in a daze, only to find himself holding a man's leg, and he immediately froze.
He and Tianmeng Iceworm had no memory of what just happened. The world consciousness had affected their judgment, making them think they had accidentally bumped into Mu Yang.
"Quick… quickly apologize! This man in front of you is a Title Douluo!"
Tianmeng Iceworm shouted in the spiritual sea, his voice filled with unconcealed fear.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you!"
Huo Yuhao, hearing the title Title Douluo, quickly bowed and apologized.
"It's alright."
Mu Yang's tone was gentle, and combined with his strong affinity, it greatly relaxed the nervous Huo Yuhao.
"Little brother Yuhao!"
At this moment, Tang Ya and Beibei's shouts came from not far away.
Soon, they discovered Mu Yang and Huo Yuhao and recognized Mu Yang's "identity."
"Lord Lieyang Douluo." * 2
Beibei had learned about Mu Yang from his great-grandfather and had seen his portrait, thus recognizing him, while Tang Ya learned about him from Beibei.
"Mm."
Mu Yang nodded to them, then turned and left.
He had no intention of interfering with what happened next, nor did he care whether Tang Sect existed or not. As long as something happened to a certain Tang, the world consciousness would naturally handle the remaining mess.
"Is that Lord Lieyang Douluo, who has been traveling the continent, seeking an opportunity to become a god? He looks so young."
Tang Ya, seeing Mu Yang leave, lowered her voice and said.
"Yes, it is said that he is the person most likely to break through to that realm within the last thousand years."
Beibei's eyes showed a hint of longing and yearning. His talent was good, but compared to his great-grandfather Mu En, he was still far behind. Becoming a god was just a fantasy for him…
The plan changed, and Mu Yang temporarily left Star Dou Great Forest, following the guidance of the world consciousness.
After a long journey, he finally arrived at a place extremely familiar to Wuhun Hall—Jialing Pass.
Jialing Pass still existed ten thousand years later, but it was more symbolic. A Sea God Memorial Hall was even built there, which housed an antique claimed to be a fragment of the angel holy sword.
After paying for a ticket, Mu Yang followed the crowd into the Sea God Memorial Hall. Inside were undoubtedly story segments praising the Sea God, the Shrek Seven Devils, and disparaging Wuhun Hall.
History is always written by the victors, and the defeated are washed away by the tide of history, leaving only traces of their misdeeds.
Looking at the fragment with a hint of flame and divine light, Mu Yang was certain that this was his target.
This fragment would certainly not be sold to the public. Although it couldn't be proven to be a fragment of the angel holy sword, having been here for so long, even if it wasn't, it had to be.
And Mu Yang had already had the world consciousness conceal his appearance before entering Jialing Pass.
So…
"Bang!"
Mu Yang struck decisively. Under the shocked gazes of onlookers, he shattered the protective barrier, which was said to be able to withstand a full-force attack from a Soul Douluo, grabbed the Holy Sword fragment, and vanished from the spot.
"There's a thief!"
"It must be a remnant of Wuhun Hall! Quickly go to Shrek Academy and invite the Sea God Pavilion Master!"
The scene descended into chaos, but soon someone appeared to take control, guiding the tourists to leave in an orderly fashion and closing the doors of the Sea God Memorial Hall.
