"You are… Ancestor Tang San?!"
Elder Mu naturally recognized this young man.
Tang San smiled and nodded. Then he put away the Sea God Trident, and the Sea God divine attire on his body also vanished. The current him looked like a young man in his twenties.
"Mu En, my daughter has received your care before."
Tang San cupped his fists toward Mu En.
"Not at all, not at all. By your daughter, do you mean Wutong?"
Tang San nodded. "Precisely. That girl was spoiled by me. She wasn't diligent in cultivation, so I troubled you to teach her and let her walk her own path in cultivation."
Mu En smiled. "That was her own talent."
Tang San shook his head and chuckled. "That's because she was born in the Divine Realm and received far too many benefits. That girl was a complete little tyrant in the Divine Realm, causing chaos everywhere. She even secretly ran down to the Douluo Continent on her own."
Mu En smiled faintly. "In the end, wasn't she subdued by Yunlin?"
Tang San sighed. "Time truly passes quickly. One day in the Divine Realm is one year in the mortal world. To me, Tongtong has only been gone for a few days, yet now she's already pregnant. As her father, I do feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Originally, I really wanted to beat that brat up, but that boy truly treats Tongtong very well. As his father-in-law, I am also quite satisfied with him in every aspect. Tongtong finding a good home can be considered a good thing."
Mu En stroked his beard. "Yunlin is indeed worthy of entrusting her to."
Tang San nodded. "Let's talk about your matter. With your cultivation, plus the Dragon Pill you obtained before, if you had successfully absorbed that Dragon Pill, you would definitely have attracted the Divine Realm's attention.
"With your attainments in the light attribute, plus that light-attribute Dragon Pill, there is a high chance you would have obtained the inheritance of the God of Light. Of course, that isn't absolute.
"But obtaining the inheritance of a second-level god would have been extremely easy for you. Unfortunately, you were too eager for quick success back then."
Mu En also looked somewhat desolate. "Yes. If I hadn't been so impatient, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
Tang San nodded. "This time, aside from giving thanks, I also came to help you. I can easily heal your injuries. After your injuries are healed, living another 30 years or so won't be a problem. At the very least, you won't be tormented by that violent energy anymore.
"However, I have 2 choices here, and I want to hear your opinion."
Mu En was somewhat surprised. He had not expected the ancestor to help him. "Please speak."
Tang San nodded. "The first is what I just mentioned. I can heal your problem, but for you, it may not be an absolute good thing.
"I can provide you with a method of establishing yourself after destruction. This is a method from another world. You can imagine it as a phoenix's nirvana. After a phoenix undergoes nirvana, it becomes stronger.
"You are now old and near the end, unable to use your full strength. If not for that boy Yunlin using Life Gold to transfer life essence to you, and if not for you using Spiritual Power to lock that life essence inside your body, then maintaining your lifespan during battle by consuming life essence,
"your current body could be described as riddled with holes. Unless a god acts, you are certainly beyond saving. But nothing is absolute. Establishing yourself after destruction is where your opportunity lies.
"Since your body is already ruined, you might as well go all in and seek life from death. You possess that White Dragon Pill, as well as the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng my daughter prepared for you. There is a very high chance that you can establish yourself after destruction.
"If you succeed, not only will your own strength rise once again, your lifespan will also increase. I estimate that you could live another 100 years.
"Most importantly, establishing yourself after destruction will very likely draw the Divine Realm's gaze again, giving you the qualifications to charge toward level 100 and become a god!
"Now, tell me your answer."
Mu En fell into deep thought. Naturally, he understood what Tang San meant. One was a stable method, allowing Tang San to heal him. The other was to establish himself after destruction. There was no doubt that establishing himself after destruction would be extremely dangerous.
However, who was he, Mu En? Although he was old and near the end of his life, that did not mean he would be afraid. It was precisely because he feared nothing that he had been able to create Sovereign's Descent.
"Ancestor, I choose to establish myself after destruction."
Tang San nodded. "Good! You have ambition. I hope you succeed!"
Tang San pointed with his finger, and a beam of light shot into Mu En's brow. A large amount of information instantly appeared in Mu En's mind.
Tang San looked elsewhere. "Time is almost up. I should leave as well. Comprehend it properly. I wish you success."
"Mm."
...
On Su Yunlin's side, they had all passed the first trial, Truth. Immediately afterward, they arrived at the next stage, which was similar to an Adventure trial. Success would bring rewards, while failure would lead to a deeper adventure.
Su Yunlin witnessed some famous scenes, such as Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi almost kissing. This scene reminded him of Sasuke and Naruto's kiss. It was really damned interesting.
Unfortunately, they did not kiss.
As for Su Yunlin, he had no adventure, because the god in charge of the Yin-Yang Love Querying Valley could not afford to provoke him.
Just as Su Yunlin sat down where he was, boredly propping up his chin and watching the show, he suddenly felt a pulling force.
In the next moment, the scenery before Su Yunlin changed. He appeared in a special place that looked somewhat like the seaside. There were even the cries of seagulls around him, and Su Yunlin saw that he seemed to be standing on a beach.
"Su Yunlin."
Hearing the voice, Su Yunlin immediately turned around. Not far away, a blue-robed figure sat by the sea, holding a fishing rod.
"You are?"
The clothing worn by the blue-robed figure looked like the fitted attire of an ancient swordsman. He had black hair tied into a high ponytail, and his voice was exceptionally young.
"This should be our first meeting."
"Oh it's you"
The blue-robed figure stood up and turned around, revealing his handsome face.
The blue-robed youth smiled. "Are you thinking about how to address me? Do you want to call me Little Bastard San? Or God King Tang?"
"Uh…"
Su Yunlin was momentarily speechless. Why did he feel that the God King Tang before him was somewhat different?
Tang San smiled. "Indeed, I am different. I may be somewhat different from the Tang San in your impression. Perhaps because this is a parallel world, I might count as a good Tang San."
Su Yunlin cupped his fists toward Tang San. "Su Yunlin greets Father-in-law."
Tang San walked to Su Yunlin's side, circled him a few times, then went behind him and kicked him in the butt.
Su Yunlin staggered, but he did not fall.
"Hmph! Brat!"
Tang San let out a light laugh. That kick had finally vented the resentment of having his cabbage stolen.
Su Yunlin scratched his head. This Tang San really was different. It seemed his luck was good.
Tang San sighed softly. "A grown daughter cannot be kept at home. Still, you can indeed be considered someone she can be entrusted to. I'll leave Wutong to you. Don't let her suffer any bullying."
"Mm."
Tang San patted Su Yunlin's shoulder. "Very soon, you will undergo the third round of adventure. This will be the difficult trial you fear the most. You must maintain your heart and absolutely must not sink into it."
"I understand."
Su Yunlin understood at once. The pain in his heart that he found hardest to let go of came from his previous life.
In the next moment, Su Yunlin felt his vision blur. He suddenly arrived in a green place, standing on a cement road.
"Su Yun! Su Yun! What are you doing here? Did you skip class again? Hurry up and go back, or your mom will definitely beat you with a rolling pin."
When Su Yunlin heard this familiar voice, he was also startled. "You are… Li Junjie?"
...
"Mm Where is this? A village? No, that's not right What are those tall stone pillars? They look a bit like the lamp posts in Radiant City, but why are there so many black wires wrapped around them?"
Tang Wutong was utterly confused. She was extremely lost in this unfamiliar environment before her.
