Chapter 447: Chapter 447: A Sword Cry Across Time and Space! The Shocked God King Tang San (Side Story)

Huo Yuhao felt rather helpless at Skydream Ice Silkworm’s instinctively cautious attitude.

"Brother Skydream, how can you casually speak of that person like that?"

His tone was serious.

That existence had allowed him to glimpse the future and granted him the chance to be reborn. Such grace was as weighty as Mount Tai—something he could never forget in this lifetime.

"Though he is about my age, if I am fortunate enough to see him again one day, I will surely treat him with the courtesy of a disciple."

"I only wonder whether he would be willing."

Compared to Li Zhexian’s free and unrestrained demeanor,

Huo Yuhao—who had lost his mother young and suffered indifference from his biological father—still harbored an unspoken sensitivity deep within.

Skydream Ice Silkworm asked lazily, "Yuhao, what are you planning to do next?"

Huo Yuhao gathered his thoughts.

"In my previous life, I met Sister Tang Ya and Bei Bei, later joined the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, and thus came to know Tang Wutong, the daughter of the God King..."

At this point, he paused.

"Since this world has already had so many people gathered away by that person... does Wutong still exist?"

Skydream Ice Silkworm folded his crystalline little hands and scoffed.

"You don’t understand what kind of existence Brother Zhexian is."

"Even Tang San in this world—though a God King—cannot sense that his fate has already been rewritten."

"Of course Tang Wutong exists. As for who Tang San had her with... that’s another matter."

The reverence in Huo Yuhao’s spiritual eyes deepened, but soon an irrepressible trace of sorrow surfaced.

"Wutong..."

"Her father is a God King, watching from above as I nearly died for his daughter time and again."

"If that is what they call a ’trial,’ then I would rather not have it."

"If I were still a piece within the game, perhaps I would have accepted it willingly."

"But looking back as an outsider, I now see how tragic my life has been..."

"Perhaps Wutong and I were never meant to belong to the same world."

He took a deep breath.

His gaze gradually hardened.

"Since I have resolved to stay away from conflict, I might as well avoid Shrek Academy entirely."

"The Extreme North is quiet all year round. Perhaps amid its ice and snow, I can clearly sort out the future—and determine where Wutong and I should truly go."

Skydream Ice Silkworm smacked his lips.

"Yuhao, your thinking happens to match mine."

"Although Ice Empress and Snow Empress were gathered into the Divine Star’s True Realm by Brother Zhexian, he left you a second Martial Soul that’s no less extraordinary."

"Your life this time will be even more brilliant."

A trace of anticipation flashed through Huo Yuhao’s eyes. He bowed once more toward the void.

Just as he prepared to depart,

the previously clear sky suddenly darkened, and a thunderous roar shook the vast forest.

Skydream Ice Silkworm froze.

"Ah—almost forgot about you."

As his words fell,

a stream of gray airflow descended from the sky, drilling straight into Huo Yuhao’s brow.

Within his sea of consciousness,

besides Skydream Ice Silkworm’s spiritual form,

there now floated an unstable gray orb.

An aged yet majestic voice slowly echoed:

"With the sun and moon in hand and stars plucked from the sky, in this world—"

"Alright, alright!"

Skydream Ice Silkworm interrupted,

"—there is no one like you in this world!"

"I’ve seen plenty of gods. Other than Brother Zhexian, you’re the most pretentious of them all!"

The gray orb trembled slightly.

"You... how do you know this old man’s incantation?"

Elder Yi (Electrolux), who had intended to lie dormant and recover his remnant soul, could not help but speak in astonishment.

"Elder Yi, please rest assured!"

Huo Yuhao leapt toward the edge of the Star Dou Forest, determination blazing in his eyes.

"In my previous life, you burned away your divine consciousness to save me!"

"In this life, I will help you reforge your divine soul and ascend to godhood together with me!"

"You..."

Electrolux was too shocked for words.

"I know you have many questions. When we reach the Extreme North, I’ll explain everything."

...

Divine Realm

Clouds drifted through the heavens.

Tang San, dressed in a sea-blue robe, suddenly raised his head, a trace of doubt flashing across his eyes.

"How strange..."

"I clearly sensed that a new star was born upon the Douluo Continent, tightly intertwined with the fate of the Tang Sect and Wutong..."

"Why is this faint connection rapidly weakening?"

Even as a God King,

separated by the barrier of the Divine Realm, he could not perceive the full picture of fate.

With his hands clasped behind his back, he paced slowly.

The sleeves of his Sea God robe surged like rolling waves.

"As an enforcer of the Divine Realm, I should not interfere with the workings of the mortal world."

"But if the continent’s destiny is changing, how can I stand by and ignore it?"

Having made his decision,

divine light flared brilliantly around Tang San.

Vast godly power surged like a tidal wave into the light screen before him, attempting to dispel the mist shrouding the fate of the lower realm.

"Just who is this new star?"

At the very instant the mist was about to fully disperse—

Clang!

A sword cry suddenly rang out.

Immediately after,

resplendent sword light split through layers upon layers of clouds. Wherever it passed, time and space froze.

In a single instant, it shattered the light screen reflecting the lower realm.

Its momentum unabated, it slashed straight toward him.

Tang San’s pupils contracted sharply. Sea God armor covered his body, and the Golden Trident answered his call.

Azure divine light roared forth like a raging ocean as he swung the trident with all his might to meet the attack.

Chi!

The super divine weapon met the sword light with a soft sound.

Under Tang San’s disbelieving eyes,

the Golden Trident was cleanly severed in two.

The sword light pierced straight through his divine body, carrying him backward as he crashed through several divine halls in succession.

At last, he was nailed firmly onto a star.

"This... how is this possible?!" Tang San coughed up mouthfuls of divine blood, staining his sea-blue armor crimson.

Since ascending to godhood tens of thousands of years ago, this was the first time he had felt such bone-chilling terror.

Holding dual godly positions.

Commanding the authority of the Divine Realm.

He was already the most powerful deity in this world.

Yet this single streak of sword light had effortlessly cut through a super divine weapon and grievously wounded the body of a God King.

"There is an unknown terror hidden within this world—and it is connected to that new star."

Tang San suppressed the shock in his heart.

"I must lie low and make long-term plans."

However,

no matter how he mobilized his divine power,

the sword qi piercing his chest and abdomen would not budge in the slightest.

Gritting his teeth, he forced himself forward, allowing the sword qi to completely pass through his divine body.

"Hah..."

Tang San staggered to the ground, divine blood soaking into the cosmic dust.

Without looking back, he transformed into a streak of light and fled toward his divine hall. Yet before stepping through its gates, he could not help but glance back.

That streak of sword qi still pinned the star in place, radiating an eternal, undying Dao aura.

A fear he hadn’t felt in ten thousand years surged in his heart as he hurried into the hall.

"Convene a Meeting of the Gods immediately! Investigate whether there is a higher-dimensional world existing above the Divine Realm!"

...

A year passed in the blink of an eye.

By the time Huo Yuhao stepped into the Extreme North, his Spirit Power had reached Level Twenty.

The world was an endless expanse of white. Gale-force winds carried shards of ice and snow that struck his face like knives.

Huo Yuhao trudged across the frozen plains, one step deep, one step shallow.

"Brother Skydream, Ice Empress and Snow Empress were gathered into the True Realm by that person. So who is my second Martial Soul?"

"You’ll know when you get there."

Huo Yuhao asked no further questions. Drawing in a breath of frigid air, he pressed onward.

Moments later—

Rumble!

Without warning, the ice field beneath his feet began to tremble.

It was as if an ancient beast slumbering beneath the glacier had awakened.

In the distance,

a thunderous roar echoed.

The sound rapidly grew louder, approaching with deafening force.

Huo Yuhao looked up—

and saw that on the towering snow-covered mountain range ahead, snow and ice had merged into a colossal white wave, collapsing downward in a roaring avalanche.
