Chapter 427 Tang Wutong: Yuhao, why? But Dong'er has always believed in me.
Chapter 427 Tang Wutong: Yuhao, why? But Dong'er has always believed in me.
Ning Rongrong slapped her forehead again as she spoke, and chuckled, "Oh, I almost forgot."
Those shameless Tang Hao and Ah Yin are now insanely preparing to use the lives of all living beings on Douluo Star as bait for the possibility of resurrecting Tang San.
These people are truly a bunch of unsettling individuals; even in death, they'll still do things that cause unrest.
Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's straightforward explanation, the expressions of the girls present, who were not previously aware of the specifics, changed slightly.
They clearly had no idea that Tang San, who was always hailed as the spiritual leader of Shrek Academy, had parents who were secretly plotting such a despicable and vicious thing that would cost the lives of all living beings on the continent.
So what about Tang San himself, and even the calamity that caused the God Realm to shatter? Are there any unknown secrets behind it?
Ning Rongrong, who originally wanted to seize this rare opportunity to continue mocking Tang Wutong, obediently waved her hand after receiving Huo Yuhao's telepathic instruction.
A sealing force immediately sealed Tang Wutong's mouth shut, preventing her from babbling incessantly and uttering annoying nonsense.
Then Ning Rongrong changed the subject and instructed everyone, "Well, there's no point in talking to this girl now. Let's talk about more things back in the valley."
As for now, Zhuqing, you should immediately take Xiaowu back to Qiankun Wenqing Valley. I will use the special rules within the valley to find a way to stabilize Xiaowu's soul first.
"And you bunch of little girls who were just watching the show, now that Yuanen's matter is perfectly resolved, Yu Lai, you take them back to continue participating in the divine examination. The cleanup here will be entirely handled by you, High Priest."
Ning Rongrong turned to Cao Dezhi and said, "Go to the valley and gather more manpower and resources to restore this damaged site as soon as possible."
"Also, prepare your explanation for any investigators the federal government might send to investigate."
Cao Dezhi, who had remained silent, bowed slightly and replied respectfully along with Leng Yulai, "Yes, we will obey the divine decree of the God of Love."
……
The time simulation in the core area of Qiankun Wenqing Valley is consistent with the outside world, and it is already night.
However, the vast lake was not completely black; instead, it was interwoven with gold and silver colors, as if the sun and moon were nestled together at the bottom of the water.
Amidst the shimmering water, the pavilions and towers scattered across the lake appear even more dreamlike and hazy.
In a room, Huo Yuhao poured a cup of tea and handed it to Tang Wutong, saying gently, "No matter what, have some tea first and calm down."
Your uncles are only temporarily detained; their lives are not in danger, so you can rest assured. However, you wouldn't throw this tea in my face to vent your anger, would you?
On his way here, he naturally learned the whole story of what had happened to them from Zhu Zhuqing.
Although he could understand why Tang Wutong was so indignant, understanding did not mean he would agree with her actions.
Because of her almost humiliating act of venting her anger, Xiao Wu, whose condition had been improving, has now suffered a severe blow and is now facing a life-threatening situation.
Sitting in the chair, Tang Wutong, pale and dazed, subconsciously took the teacup.
Feeling the warmth emanating from the cup, those previously vacant and unfocused eyes finally regained some focus.
But when she forced herself to take a sip of tea, she coughed violently as if she had choked on the tea.
With each cough, glistening tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks, and she sobbed softly and desperately:
"Yuhao, why... tell me, why did everything turn out this way..."
Tang Wutong's heart was already shrouded in deep self-blame and panic.
She never imagined that her reckless and impulsive act of venting her anger would directly lead to Niu Tian and Titan being captured and imprisoned.
She even drove her mother to the brink of death, and it seemed she was about to die and could leave her at any moment.
Now that she's fallen to such a state, who can she rely on?
Just a moment ago, she even harbored a sliver of unrealistic fantasy.
She thought she could find warmth and support again in the man in front of her, the man who had been closest to her in the past and who had been the most tolerant of her.
But reality dealt her a cruel and devastating blow.
Once, his love was so focused and passionate, poured entirely into her alone.
But at this moment, this love may have been divided into many parts.
What suffocated her even more was that she didn't see even the slightest bit of warmth left for her.
Huo Yuhao, who sat down on the other side of the chair, rubbed his slightly swollen temples.
Looking at Tang Wutong's increasingly pitiful appearance, a complex emotion inevitably appeared in his eyes.
Recalling the past, she slowly said, "Just as you once told me, you will try your best to accompany me based on Dong'er's memories."
At the time, I believed it without a doubt. After all, you truly possessed all of Dong'er's past memories.
Later, regarding the matter of Ju Zi and that child, you wouldn't even give me a brief chance to explain, and instead, you followed Tang San recklessly back to the God Realm.
It was at that moment that I perhaps realized that you and Dong'er were ultimately somewhat different.
Hearing this, Tang Wutong anxiously explained, "Yuhao, it's not like that. When I heard that news, I really didn't know what to do. My mind just went completely blank."
My instinctive reaction was to return to my home in the divine realm and seek comfort from my mother. And even after I learned the truth, I didn't blame you.
"But Dong'er will always believe in me, no matter what the circumstances."
Huo Yuhao sighed softly, "Once the seed of doubt is planted in the heart, it can never be eradicated."
Later, as I inherited the position of the God of Emotions, my control over the power of emotions became increasingly refined and proficient. When I could once again unleash the Three Absolute Techniques of Haodong, which should have been unusable, I knew that I could no longer deceive myself.
Upon hearing this confession, Tang Wutong's expression instantly darkened, and she asked with bitterness:
"So, for a period of time after that, you used the excuse of needing to retreat and refine your control over your emotional power, spending all your time cultivating alone in that forbidden land, actually to deliberately avoid me?"
Faced with Tang Wutong's questioning, Huo Yuhao shook his head and explained, "It's not that simple. Along my journey, I've received help from so many people, and because of this, I owe many debts of gratitude that I can never repay."
However, the divine realm is not a paradise where all beings are equal. As divine beasts, the discrimination that Xue Di and the others suffer in the divine realm due to the restrictions of the rules is probably much more severe than it was in the mortal realm.
In fact, most of the time, in order to avoid the criticism of those gods, they couldn't even leave my spiritual sea.
As for that forbidden land of gods, it serves as the last remaining habitat for divine beasts clinging to life in the divine realm. At least there, the divine beasts within are not subject to excessive interference or bullying from other deities.
Huo Yuhao paused, and this time, his eyes revealed an unprecedented look of reminiscence.
"And in that place, it was probably because of the golden dragon bloodline aura that Qiu'er gave me as a sacrifice, plus the fact that Xue Di and the others were by my side."
As long as I don't actively provoke other divine beasts with strong territorial instincts, I, a human deity who should be ostracized, will not be subjected to excessive hostility from them within the Forbidden Land of Gods.
At that time, I was also thinking about how to revive Qiu'er, hoping to reduce my guilt by even the slightest bit.
Even after consulting numerous ancient texts from the divine realm, I sadly discovered that I could not find any truly feasible solutions.
It was at that moment that I inevitably wondered what methods Tang San had used to revive Niu Tian and Titan, who were also sacrificed, in the God Realm.
Driven by that obsession, I set my sights on the central authority of the divine realm.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's frank and almost blunt words, Tang Wutong opened her mouth slightly in shock and asked in disbelief, "So, you are not as my father once told me?"
Was it because it was corrupted and influenced by the evil thoughts of the Golden Dragon King's divine core that it became so deranged as to plot against the central authority of the divine realm, attempting to destroy the entire divine realm?
"Golden Dragon King. If you only believe the stories passed down from the divine realm, the Golden Dragon King, as a subordinate of the Dragon God, was cleaved in two by the Asura God with a single sword strike, leaving behind a pure evil half of his body."
Even I, and anyone else in the divine realm, would probably not think of him as a good person due to preconceived notions.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, not denying it:
"Even when I first met him, the terrifying negative emotions he possessed were probably enough to instantly transform an ordinary deity into a madman who only knew how to kill."
It's not surprising that you'd conclude I'm controlled by evil thoughts.
At this point, Huo Yuhao's expression became more solemn.
"The reason why I was invited by the divine beasts in the forbidden land to secretly meet the Golden Dragon King who was heavily sealed was also very simple."
It's all because the power of the God of Emotions that I inherited is just right to suppress and channel the turbulent negative emotions within the Golden Dragon King's body.
Even when the Golden Dragon King descends into bloodthirsty madness, he remains their lord.
With my help, the Golden Dragon King, having finally regained his sanity, spoke to me through the seal about something. Perhaps this is why he later willingly entrusted his most crucial primordial divine core to me.
Tang Wutong subconsciously held her breath and gripped the teacup tightly.
At this moment, she was once again caught in a state of extreme entanglement and self-contradiction.
She was afraid that once she learned the truth, there would be no chance of winning back her lover, but deep down, she desperately wanted to know the hidden truth.
Then, with her eyes still red and her voice trembling, she asked, "What exactly did you talk about?"
"Mission. The mission, destiny, and even the imposed fate that belonged to the Golden Dragon King. As for the Golden Dragon King, who was forcibly separated, he did not receive any memories of the Dragon God's past and was imprisoned in the dark and sunless forbidden land of the gods."
His only remaining instinct and obsession knew that only by breaking the seal, devouring the other half of the Silver Dragon King, and reborn as the Dragon God could the current situation of beast gods being enslaved and suppressed be changed.
This was a mission he believed he, as their leader, had to be accomplished even at the cost of his life.
Huo Yuhao said softly, "Now that I think about it, perhaps the Golden Dragon King had already realized during his long years of imprisonment that the unfathomable evil thoughts in his body did not simply come from the negative emotions of the Dragon God himself, but were mixed with all kinds of negative resentment."
The evil intent was so immense that even if he had the opportunity to devour the Silver Dragon King in the future, under the influence of that negative emotion, he would ultimately only give birth to a completely insane dragon god.
Under such mad influence, how could one possibly act as a leader to overcome the desperate situation facing the beasts?
At this point, Huo Yuhao sighed again.
In fact, after learning the truth about the war between the gods, even he found it somewhat absurd.
Perhaps even the Golden Dragon King did not expect that the root cause of the current predicament faced by the beasts was actually a small, willful act by the Dragon God.
But if the Golden Dragon King knew the truth, he would probably fall into an extreme state of despair, wanting to destroy everything.
If that were the case, I would never have been able to successfully make a deal with him and obtain his source power in the first place.
Tang Wutong seemed to understand the meaning behind those words immediately. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she was eager to confirm something.
"In other words, Yuhao, you were never affected or controlled by the evil thoughts of the Golden Dragon King's divine core from beginning to end?"
"You, my mother, Aunt Zhuqing, and I did those kinds of things, and now so many young girls are surrounding you—all of this was done out of your own will?"
Tang Wutong simply couldn't believe it. If this were true, how would she face it?
If she has been using this as a psychological comfort, an excuse to "feel at ease" to get close to Huo Yuhao again, and it has been a lie from beginning to end, then what should she do?
This means that Huo Yuhao killed her father out of his own will, and that he and her mother did that thing out of their own will.
He even completely gave up on himself, out of his own will.
Seeing that Tang Wutong was clearly acting strangely, Huo Yuhao naturally knew what she was thinking and said gently:
"It would be impossible to say that I wasn't affected by the evil intent of the Golden Dragon King's divine core. After all, that power was too vast and complex. However, it didn't strip me of my reason."
As for my relationship with Tang San, although it was merely a personal grudge, various factors inevitably affected many people around us. However, I do not regret the decisions I made.
