Seeing that their side was falling into crisis, A Yin quickly played the emotional card and said, "Yuhao, don't you care about Wutong's feelings?"
"Wutong? Hahaha…" Hearing this, Huo Yuhao laughed bitterly with anger.
"What are you laughing at?" Tang Hao asked.
"Don't think I don't know you've been trying to use your daughter to manipulate me from the very beginning. I did care about Wang Donger and Wang Qiuer," Huo Yuhao sneered coldly. As a transmigrator, he understood Wang Donger and Wang Qiuer's backgrounds, so he had been cautious from the start. Naturally, his feelings hadn't developed as quickly as the original owner's. But these two women, who were wholeheartedly devoted to him, did touch his heart. Thinking of this, he continued, "But before I could truly love them, they were killed by their 'good' father, leaving behind a Frankenstein's monster."
"Shut up! Wutong is not a Frankenstein's monster. She is Wang Donger and Wang Qiuer!" A Yin angrily retorted.
Huo Yuhao shouted, "Only you would consider a patchwork of soul fragments a granddaughter. But I will never see her as my beloved. Would you love a dog collar around your neck?"
"So, your love for Wutong was a lie? What did you do to her?" A Yin was shocked and enraged.
"Tang San used his daughter to spy on me, so don't blame me for controlling her mind. She turned around to confuse Tang San. In the end, she's just a tool!" Huo Yuhao said coldly.
"No—" A Yin staggered, severely wounded by the Life Core, and then the Plane Will struck again. Her body was destroyed and her soul began to wear down.
"A Yin—" Tang Hao cried out in despair. Ignoring Huo Yuhao's pursuit, he turned to rescue her.
"Brother Hao, don't!" A Yin shouted in her final moments before her soul dissolved.
"Worry about yourself first," Huo Yuhao sneered. Taking advantage of Tang Hao's distraction, he unleashed the move "Black Tiger Heart Extraction," piercing Tang Hao's back and grabbing his still-beating heart.
"Huo Yuhao, Life Core, Plane Will, don't celebrate too soon. Tang San is a God King. He will avenge A Yin and me," Tang Hao spat blood, life slipping away but still defiant.
"The Sea God, Asura God, Butterfly God, Plane Master, Life Core, plus your schemed positions of Destruction God, Life God, and Dragon God—Tang family will build a towering shrine across Douluo Continent and the Divine Realm, hosting a grand feast with guests from all corners. If you survive this disaster, you will rule the Divine Realm and Douluo Continent without challenge," Huo Yuhao toyed with Tang Hao's beating heart, his icy blue eyes filled with mockery. "I'm honored to be your calamity—the one who will tear down this shrine with my own hands."
"What do you mean?" Tang Hao felt a wave of unease.
"A mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Your Tang San is already waiting in Hell for you to join him," Huo Yuhao said, then crushed Tang Hao's heart.
…
"Rebel! The Tang family's son-in-law has turned against his master!"
Tang Hao let out a furious roar and suddenly sat up on the inn bed.
"What? What son-in-law of the Tang family are you talking about, Brother Hao?" Tang Xiao asked from the other bed, confused.
Hearing this, Tang Hao looked at Tang Xiao and hesitated, momentarily unable to recognize him.
"You are… Tang Xiao?"
"Are you stupid? If I'm not Tang Xiao, then who am I?" Tang Xiao said.
Tang Hao pulled his focus back and touched his chest, feeling his beating heart. He was still alive.
Used to the supreme power of the Plane Master, Tang Hao struggled to adjust to his now much weaker self.
Tang Hao recalled: his older brother died twenty thousand years ago. How could he still be here? He guessed.
He asked his brother about the current year, the state of the continent, and so forth. Finally, Tang Hao reached a conclusion—
He had been reborn.
Reborn twenty thousand years earlier, when the Martial Soul Hall had not yet fallen, Tang San was not yet born, and his relationship with A Yin was not yet decided.
At this time, he was as weak as an ant, possessing only the power of a Soul Saint.
But this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Tang San was an extraordinarily clever person. Every step he took pushed the Tang family to the peak of Douluo Continent, making them the top family in the world and even the universe.
However, the one thing Tang San overlooked was Huo Yuhao—a treacherous, ungrateful white-eyed wolf.
The Destiny Child should have belonged to the Tang family. The Tang family had given the position to Huo Yuhao, nurtured and promoted him, and even married their beautiful granddaughter to him, helping him reach First-Level Godhood. But this bastard betrayed them at the crucial moment of Tang family's rise.
Every time Tang Hao recalled the scene of A Yin's fall and the moment Huo Yuhao crushed his heart, he longed to travel ten thousand years forward just to personally kill Huo Yuhao and relieve his hatred.
But now, having been reborn earlier, it didn't matter much.
In his last life, he did not know Tang San had the protection of the Asura God in the Divine Realm, and he fled like a lost dog under Martial Soul Hall's pursuit. After becoming a God, Tang Hao finally understood his past.
Behind their family was the constant support of the Asura God. At critical moments, the Killing God Domain could further unleash Asura God's power, allowing him to challenge higher ranks with ease.
With such a powerful backing, what was there to fear? Martial Soul Hall's Bibi Dong and Qiandouluo were nothing but corpses in a tomb to him. Next time, he would dare to trample on Qiandouluo and Bibi Dong.
Filled with ambition, Tang Hao reviewed his memories and realized that Martial Soul Hall was not a threat in this era. Even if he retraced his past path, Tang San was destined to become a God. When that time comes, the dual Gods combined, Martial Soul Hall would be destroyed at one stroke. The only thing to watch out for was the Huo Yuhao of ten thousand years later.
But by that time, Tang San would already be a high-ranking God King. Calculating a Destiny Child not yet grown was an easy task. He only needed to warn Tang San to beware of Huo Yuhao.
"Such a pity," Tang Hao sighed. "For twenty thousand years, I've been a God and have long scorned the soul-guided weapons of ten thousand years later and the Dou Armor technology of twenty thousand years later, seeing them as mere tricks, never studying them. Otherwise, mastering future technology could have aided Tang San."
"Brother Hao, your behavior today is unusual. Are you feeling unwell?" Tang Xiao's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"It's nothing, just my mind is a little unsettled," Tang Hao shook his head repeatedly.
"That's good. Today, we'll confess to A Yin together!" Tang Xiao said with relief.
Tang Hao nodded. Tang Xiao's words brought back memories from twenty thousand years ago. On this very day, he and Tang Xiao confessed to A Yin together, not expecting that day would become a turning point in their destinies.
