"Child..."
"What are you doing?!"
Tang San's face was filled with astonishment as he narrowly avoided being struck by the hammer. With a mere wave of his hand, the incoming attack dissipated into nothingness.
What are you doing?!
Child, what are you doing?!
"I already told you I'm your father! What are you trying to do, commit patricide?"
Tang San felt as though his entire worldview was being questioned.
Beside him, Xiao Wu, Tang Wutong, and Dai Yuhao were equally dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events. What in the world was happening?!
"Truly a shameless piece of work."
Tang Wulin, however, didn't seem the least bit surprised that the man before him had blocked his attack. He glared coldly at him, his fury barely contained.
The fact that this person could appear within his consciousness meant his strength far surpassed his own. But that didn't deter Tang Wulin's resolve to kill him.
One day in the future...
He swore he would end this man.
"Child, listen to me."
"Don't act rashly. I know you're agitated, but at least hear me out first, alright?"
Tang San took a deep breath, watching as the look in Tang Wulin's eyes grew increasingly "harmonious"—whether it was the prelude to delivering him a "path to death," he couldn't tell. He hurriedly spoke up first, cutting straight to the point.
As someone who often threw around the phrase "path to death" and acted upon it, he knew the signs all too well.
"Child, let me introduce myself..."
"My name is Tang San. You've heard of Tang San, right?"
Tang San looked at Tang Wulin and laid his cards on the table.
Tang San!
He was certain his name was legendary across the Douluo Continent. There was no way his son hadn't heard of him.
Sure enough, the expression on the young man's face shifted—but what Tang San failed to notice was the unmistakable trace of something strange in that change.
When trust was absent, the more one spoke, the more suspicion grew. Clearly, Tang San hadn't realized this yet.
"My surname is Tang, my given name San—Tang San, leader of the Tang Sect."
"Head of the first-generation Shrek Seven Monsters, Tang San. Deity of the Divine Realm, Tang San. God of the Sea, God of Asura, and now the supreme God King, Tang—"
"Shut up."
"You're too noisy."
Before Tang San could finish, Tang Wulin abruptly summoned another hammer and slammed it down with a resounding thud, his voice icy.
He couldn't take it anymore. This act had gone on long enough. This thing was still pretending? What God King Tang San...
Tang was real, San was real—but this was pure nonsense!
"You..."
"You're calling me noisy?"
Tang San was momentarily at a loss. His son had interrupted him repeatedly, and now he was speaking to him with such hostility, showing not an ounce of respect for his God King father.
Was this really his son?!
"God King? You think you're impressive? You think Tang San is impressive?"
"If you're Tang San, then I'm Tang Hao!"
"Idiot."
With those final two simple words, Tang Wulin completely severed the conversation and withdrew from the mental space.
His brother had once told him that the world was full of idiots—you never knew when one or two would pop up. But there was another saying, too.
A true idiot wouldn't appear just once. And this "Tang San" before him was the greatest proof of that.
Tang Wulin had indeed never encountered an idiot of such staggering intensity before. Today, he had truly broadened his horizons.
"Wu—"
"Wu Lin—!"
Watching the scene before her vanish, Xiao Wu completely broke down, her voice filled with sorrow as she spoke.
But at this moment, no one stepped forward to comfort her.
Tang Wutong and Dai Yuhao were lost in their own thoughts, while Tang San clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white, his gaze fixed on the vanished scene.
Wu Lin, you...
What were you saying?!
At this moment, even he—who held the supreme leadership position in the Douluo God Realm—couldn't help but flush red with anger.
Who was it?! Who exactly was it?!
Who had led his son, the son of the Tang Great God King, astray?
His son, Tang Wulin, had been praised by both Destruction and Life as a boy with the "bearing of a God King" while they were still alive, and he had even received the blessing of the God of Life.
Such a child was already one in a million, a top-tier prodigy, and his character should have been no less than that of his own father.
Yet, how could he act like this in front of his own biological father?!
"San Ge, are you alright?"
"Lin Lin must have just been too emotional, that's why he acted like that just now, that's all..."
Beside him, Xiao Wu gazed deeply at Tang San. Even in her own grief, she still managed to offer words of comfort.
Lin Lin's words just now must have shattered San Ge's heart completely. That child, really...
"It's fine! It's fine!"
"As long as Wu Lin is alive and well, there's still hope for everything. At worst, once the God Realm returns, I'll make sure he properly recognizes me as his father!"
Tang San gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Alright."
Xiao Wu could only nod in response.
"Latest novel updates first released on 69shu8!"
"But Father, given our current situation, I'm afraid Lin Lin won't be willing to communicate with us through Divine Sense in the future..."
Tang Wutong said helplessly. She could sense that, whether intentionally or not, the Divine Sense she had left on Wu Lin had been severed.
Of course, even if it hadn't been severed, she knew full well that Wu Lin would no longer be willing to communicate with them.
"No, it doesn't matter if there's no communication."
"My Sea God Inheritance... just now, through Wu Tong's trace of Divine Sense, I managed to leave a wisp of my own aura on Wu Lin..."
"Poseidon Trident!"
A moment later, Tang San collected his thoughts, forcing a faint smile as he spoke slowly.
The next instant, his gaze turned forward. Without any visible action, the Poseidon Trident in his hand vanished, and most of the God Power within him dissipated once again.
"San Ge, your Sea God Inheritance!"
Seeing this, Xiao Wu's eyes widened in shock. Had San Ge just passed the Sea God Inheritance to little Lin Lin?
But right now, the God Realm was already in turmoil. The remnants left by the God of Life and the God of Destruction—the Seven Original Sin Gods and a group of Secondary Gods—were still present. If San Ge lost one Godhood...
His strength would be greatly diminished!
After all, though he was said to hold dual Godhoods, the God of Asura's position was actually still with her!
"Xiao Wu, passing on one Godhood..."
"Is what will help him the most."
Despite his weakened state, a smile appeared on his face, as if he held all the cards. As long as the Godhood Inheritance was passed on, that was enough.
This way, once he returned to the Douluo Continent, he would surely meet Wu Lin, who would have become the God of the Sea...
At that time, his son would be able to stay, the Douluo Plane would completely become the Tang family's domain, and his Ten-Thousand Year Plan could be perfectly realized.
As for Wu Lin, who was currently being such a "filial son"...
Hmph, it must be his adoptive parents' twisted values that had corrupted him. He would definitely have to correct that in the future...
As he thought this, the scene of Wu Lin hitting him with a hammer involuntarily flashed through his mind, fueling his anger even more.
If necessary, he felt it was acceptable to use physical discipline! It wouldn't be appropriate for a daughter, but for Wu Lin—no problem!
"Douluo Continent, Douluo God Realm, and Wu Lin."
"I, Tang San, will take them all!"
The next moment, he declared with great wisdom in his eyes.
Meanwhile, back on Douluo Continent.

"?"
Hearing the voice resounding in his mind and seeing the suddenly appearing golden trident in his spiritual sea, Tang Luochuan opened his eyes in bewilderment.
"Huh?"
Whose inheritance?
The Sea God's inheritance?
