Chapter 385: This Unlucky Kid.
In the video, after losing "Elder Ye," his true pillar of support, Huo Yuhao's life took a sharp downturn under the secret interference of a certain Tang God King. From that moment on, his path became rough and full of hardships.
Through a series of brief clips, the video showcased Huo Yuhao's tragic life, manipulated by Tang God King. In the end, completely broken in spirit, Huo Yuhao, for the sake of his mother, had no choice but to lower his head… and change his name to Dai Yuhao.
At this point, the audience was left in turmoil. If, at the beginning, they had envied Huo Yuhao's apparent good fortune, now that they had witnessed his entire life, all that remained was sympathy.
This poor kid… wasn't his luck just too awful?
Looking back at the story told in the earlier parts of the video, the audience suddenly realized something shocking this so called righteous and benevolent Sea God was actually the real villain all along.
If not for Tang God King's interference, Huo Yuhao's life would have been nothing short of smooth sailing.
First, the million year soul beast, Skydream Iceworm, had given him a soul ring and served as his mentor in spiritual power.
Then, the ultimate ice soul beast, Ice Empress, had provided him with a martial soul and became his teacher in soul techniques.
On top of that, the demi god level powerhouse, Electrolux, became his martial soul and mentor in necromantic magic.
As for Elder Ye's remnant soul, who sacrificed himself to shatter the Abyssal Passage that was an unavoidable tragedy, so there was no point in mentioning it.
But when the audience traced everything back, they were shocked to realize that if Tang God King's daughter hadn't taken Huo Yuhao back to the Haotian Sect and made him sleep on that ice bed, he wouldn't have nearly exploded and been forced to sacrifice Electrolux to save himself.
The Destiny Beast, Wang Qiu'er, was fated to fall in love with Huo Yuhao because Elder Xuan had allowed his Spirit Eyes to connect with her Eye of Destiny, intertwining their fates.
If it weren't for Tang God King making his daughter lose her memory and sending her to Huo Yuhao's side, Electrolux wouldn't have died, and Wang Qiu'er wouldn't have needed to sacrifice herself.
If Wang Qiu'er hadn't died, she could have openly fallen in love with Huo Yuhao. And with her adoptive father, the strongest being on the continent Di Tian he would have been able to protect Huo Yuhao all the way until he became a god.
With both Electrolux and Di Tian as his protectors, what possible threats could Huo Yuhao have faced on the continent?
If Electrolux had survived, destroying the Holy Spirit Cult would have been as easy as flipping a hand. After all, Electrolux was the true master of necromancy! Those evil soul masters in the Holy Spirit Cult wouldn't have even been worth mentioning.
But no Tang God King first orchestrated the death of Huo Yuhao's real benefactor, Electrolux, only to step in himself and force Huo Yuhao to be grateful to him.
Then, he arranged for Wang Qiu'er to die, letting his own daughter take her place, further tightening his control over Huo Yuhao.
Finally, to prevent Huo Yuhao from clinging to the past, he even made him beat his would have been father in law, Di Tian, half to death before he could become a god.
Tang God King… what a ruthless scheme!
The audience was in utter shock. As the video progressed, many of them felt a cold chill run down their spines. All they could feel toward Huo Yuhao now was pity.
After all, considering all the factors laid out in the video, Huo Yuhao should have been practically invincible. With such heaven defying luck, even if he slacked off every day, he probably could have reached godhood without any trouble.
At the very least, his lowest potential was a First Class God. He even had a high chance of becoming a God King. After all, as the video showed, even the God of Destruction from the God Realm admired him and openly stated that he had the potential to be a God King.
Yet, despite his unmatched talent and fortune, Huo Yuhao had the misfortune of being noticed by Tang God King before he could even mature. From that moment on, his life was filled with endless hardships…
And the worst part? After all that suffering, he ended up inheriting only a First Class God position.
He was completely ruined! Absolutely wasted!
Many viewers sighed and shook their heads. At this point, most of them already believed the video's authenticity.
Even though they had no idea where this video had come from, that didn't stop them from thinking it was all real. After all, everything in it was too well connected, too logically sound. There were no inconsistencies, no flaws. It didn't feel fake at all.
God Realm God Realm Committee.
At that moment, the other four God Kings looked at Tang San with strange expressions.
Unlike the mortals who had yet to become gods, these God Kings stood at the peak of existence. They knew far more than the average person and could grasp the finer details in the video.
Because of that, they could tell that everything in the video unless something unexpected occurred was absolutely real and entirely possible.
"Hmph!"
The God of Destruction, who had never been fond of Tang San, let out a cold snort and shook his head. The other three God Kings could only sigh inwardly, astonished at how someone who appeared so righteous on the surface could actually be so despicable behind the scenes.
Was it really necessary to use such underhanded tactics against a young man?
If you wanted a son in law, then just take one!
But this wasn't "recruiting a son in law" this was raising a dog!
At that moment, after watching the video, all four God Kings felt a deep sense of sympathy for Huo Yuhao.
Based on the potential and fate Huo Yuhao had in the video, they were certain that if Tang San had never interfered, Huo Yuhao would have undoubtedly become a God King in the future! There was no question about it.
Even among the countless small worlds under the God Realm, they had never seen anyone with such overwhelming fortune.
Even they, as God Kings, couldn't help but be amazed by Huo Yuhao's extraordinary potential.
If he had been allowed to grow freely, there was no doubt that the God Realm would have gained another God King!
But unfortunately, the Huo Yuhao shown in the video had been constantly suppressed, manipulated, and tormented by Tang San, completely losing himself in the process. His potential had been entirely wasted.
Tang San's expression was dark and stormy.
He didn't care about the strange looks from the other God Kings. After all, while his actions in the video may have seemed despicable, they didn't violate any laws of the God Realm.
Or rather, even if they did, it wasn't a big deal.
What truly concerned him was that not only had the God Kings seen everything he had done, but so had the rest of the gods in the God Realm… and everyone on Douluo Continent.
Most importantly, Huo Yuhao himself had now seen his entire future unfold before him.
This completely ruined all of Tang San's plans.
Because now, Huo Yuhao, knowing what was coming, would never sit back and accept his fate. That meant Tang San would have to change his entire strategy.
From now on, it wouldn't be so easy to secretly manipulate him.
With such immense fortune on his side, if Huo Yuhao became wary, Tang San would find it much harder to set him up.
Just then, the livestream suddenly paused.
At the same time, a question appeared on the screen:
[Question: Will Huo Yuhao submit? Will he obediently become Tang San's loyal dog?]
[Option 1: Yes. He will become Tang San's 'perfect son in law,' working tirelessly like a beast of burden just to please his father in law, yet never truly being accepted… In Tang San's eyes, he will always be an outsider.]
[Option 2: No. He knows that Tang San is too powerful, and that he himself is still too weak. Moreover, his mother's soul is still in Tang San's hands. So, for now, he will pretend to submit, secretly gathering strength and waiting for the day he can strike back!]
[Choose one.]
[Answer in 10 seconds. The first correct response will receive a reward.]
[Incorrect answers will be punished!]
