The story splits into two paths.
The God Realm.
God King Tang was in a miserable state.
Destruction and Life combined were a case of one plus one being greater than two, but! God King Tang and Pendant Wu together were only worth one point five.
Wasn't it inevitable that they would be beaten black and blue?
Destruction didn't hold back.
He truly burned his destruction divine force to blast Tang San; after all, the God King of Destruction had long found Tang San unpleasant to the eye.
Destruction had long felt that a fellow like Tang San was a massive poser, and now, just as he had previously sensed, Tang San was a total hypocrite.
Life didn't hold back either.
Firstly, Life felt she had been deceived, and secondly, she was seeking justice for the child Tang Xiaoqi.
These two were veteran God Kings. When they got serious, even Pendant Wu was sent flying several times, spitting up mouthfuls of blood, let alone the state Tang San was beaten into.
Ning Rongrong and the others were anxious, but as second-class gods, they simply didn't have the qualifications to intervene.
"Not good!"
Oscar suddenly turned his head; in the projection crystal that originally showed the Douluo Continent, not a single person could be seen anymore.
"Third Brother... your mom... your dad..."
Bang!
Hearing Oscar's shout, God King Tang suffered a Divided Soul and was directly blasted into the Asura God Hall by a strike from Destruction, with Pendant Wu being knocked down along with him.
God King Tang couldn't care about any of that now.
He scrambled up from the ground, not even having time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and rushed to the projection crystal to look... by this time, Su Yan's group had already left.
God King Tang hurriedly used his Divine Sense to begin sensing the Douluo Continent.
The next moment.
A wretched cry echoed throughout the entire God Realm.
"Father..."
"Mother..."
God King Tang knelt on the ground, his face filled with agony and despair.
"No!"
"No!!!"
Destruction and Life hadn't finished venting their anger yet. They had just chased him inside to beat him again when they saw Tang San kneeling on the ground, crying "Father" and "Mother" as if begging for mercy, so the two of them immediately stopped in their tracks.
Bah!
Wait, was it that Tang San's parents died?
Destruction and Life also immediately sensed for Tang Hao and Ah Yin on the Douluo Continent, only to find they had vanished completely—one could say they were as dead as dead could be.
Thud!
Ning Rongrong also instantly knelt on the ground, two lines of clear tears flowing from her eyes as she choked out:
"Uncle Tang Hao... Auntie Ah Yin..."
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing also hurriedly started crying, and tears fell from the corners of Oscar's and Dai Mubai's eyes.
These few were really something... Pendant Wu hadn't even reacted to the death of her parents-in-law, yet these clever little rascals started crying first?
Why call the four of them clever little rascals? Because Tang Hao and Ah Yin had basically never spent time with them; this was purely crying for the sake of crying.
"Third Brother."
Pendant Wu ran to God King Tang's side in pain and hugged him tightly.
Scenes from the past replayed in her mind one by one: Tang Hao descending from the sky before the Spirit Hall to rescue them from danger.
Pain!
It was too painful!
"Forget it!"
Destruction sighed and said, "Tang San, for the sake of your parents' death today, we won't hold it against you anymore."
Life also nodded, hesitating for a moment before staying silent.
Oscar and the others were also stunned.
Wait, what?
How could the God King of Destruction's words sound so infuriating?
God King Tang's expression instantly darkened as he roared angrily at Destruction:
"Destruction, this is all your fault!"
"It was you who stopped me from going to the Lower Realm, it was you..."
"Bullshit!"
Destruction wasn't about to take the fall for this, and directly retorted in a furious voice: "Tang San, stop trying to shift the blame. That Divinities cannot descend to the Lower Realm is a rule of the entire God Realm."
"After you became a god, you helped your parents become gods, yet you secretly left them on the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years. It's already enough that I didn't hold you accountable for that, and you still want to blame me for something?"
"All of this is your own fault. If you hadn't played so many schemes and hadn't left your parents in the Lower Realm, today's outcome wouldn't have happened. You killed your parents yourself."
Life said with a serious face:
"Tang San, a person who commits many injustices will eventually bring about their own destruction!"
"Take care of yourself."
With that said,
the two of them turned and left the Asura Hall.
"Damn it!"
God King Tang was truly driven mad with rage.
If he weren't unable to defeat the two of them, he would truly want to kill them!
You have already found your path to death.
Inside the Asura Hall.
This moment fell into a silence that was somewhat terrifyingly quiet.
Ning Rongrong and the others looked at the suffering Tang San, and only after a long silence did they speak up:
"Third Brother, we..."
"My condolences, Third Brother. You must pull yourself together. In the future, we will avenge Uncle and Auntie together!"
"Yes, pull yourself together, Third Brother."
They didn't know how to comfort him anymore.
If Tang Hao and Ah Yin had bodies before them, maybe they could still be resurrected or saved.
In the current situation, Tang Hao and Ah Yin seemed to have evaporated from the world; in such a case, no one could save them.
Pendant Wu held God King Tang's head and comforted him with a trembling voice: "Third Brother, we will always be with you. Father and Mother certainly wouldn't want to see you like this either."
God King Tang knelt on the ground, his face full of rage and pain, unable to pull himself out of it for a long time.
He was truly in pain now. His 'pure and noble' persona had collapsed, which put him in a passive position in the God Realm. Now that everyone knew his true character, no one besides the Shrek Seven Devils would take his side again.
The power structure of the God Realm was already set. Destruction and Life were a solid block; God King Tang couldn't drive a wedge between them, so he could no longer dominate the God Realm.
Even the Douluo Continent in the Lower Realm had completely slipped from his control.
Truly:
Tang San's brilliant plan to settle the world—losing his daughter and sacrificing his parents!
...
Lower Realm.
Shrek Academy.
Ma Xiaotao brought Su Yan's group to the Shrek Academy cafeteria.
Then an awkward thing happened.
Dugu Yan and the group looked at the empty space, seriously doubting if they had come to the wrong place, because this cafeteria didn't have a single table or bench!
The Big Silly Cat Three-Eyed Golden Lion scratched its head with its paw and said with big, confused eyes, "This place seems different from the dining places I've been to before, huh!"
Dugu Yan looked at Ma Xiaotao with a dazed expression and asked, "Are you sure you brought us to a cafeteria and not a classroom... even a classroom should have places to sit?"
Bai Chenxiang also looked at Ma Xiaotao and the other Douluo Continent World Two sisters with a puzzled look: "Xiaotao, could it be that everyone at your Shrek Academy eats while standing?"
"Exactly!"
Ma Xiaotao said with a look of surprise, "Old Ancestor, you're so smart to have guessed it."
"This is a specialty of our Shrek Academy, to maintain a combat-ready state at all times and not develop habits of comfort."
[Group Member Number Nine: 666!]
Zhu Zhuqing said with a weary heart, "To make Number Nine so speechless that he can only send a '6', one can see the 'quality' of your Shrek Academy!"
Ling Luochen finally snapped out of it and looked at Ma Xiaotao, shouting, "Xiaotao, why aren't you calling people to bring over some tables and chairs?"
