Chapter 487 - Chapter 482: The Timeline-II

Year XXX3

While the meeting between Emperor Xue Ye and Tang San did not end on good terms, practicality prevailed over personal displeasure. By the end of the year, the Heaven Dou Empire had begun purchasing hidden weapons from the Tang Sect.

What started as a reluctant transaction slowly evolved into a strategic dependency, binding the empire and the sect in a relationship neither fully trusted.

At the same time, another variable quietly entered the stage, Yu Ming emerged from Slaughter City.

During his time there, he had suppressed his inherent perversity in order to survive the brutal environment and secure power. However, after obtaining the inheritance of Eros God, that restraint seemed to shatter completely. The divine inheritence he carried amplified his desire.

It began as isolated incidents in remote villages soon spread like an invisible plague. From villages to towns, Yu Ming moved without restraint. With the subtle influence of his divine energy, he was able to erode the will of others, particularly targeting women.

It was a kind of insidious corruption—one that twisted emotions, loyalty, and morality. Relationships fractured silently, households destabilized, and yet no one could clearly identify the source of this change. It was as if an unseen hand was rewriting human nature itself.

This quiet chaos did not immediately attract the attention of major powers, but its effects were steadily accumulating beneath the surface.

Meanwhile, Tang San moved with a different kind of urgency.

Believing that establishing the Tang Sect ahead of time would secure his future position, he laid down its early foundations with careful planning. After planting his mother's sapling within the Blue Silver Forest—he entrusted its protection to his father. Both father and son duo never caught that even in grass from, Ah Yin did not have any attachment to them.

With that responsibility settled, Tang San made his next decision without hesitation. After leaving Xiao Wu under Er Ming and Da Ming's protection, he set his sights on Slaughter City.

Armed with his knowledge he had from the memories and unwavering confidence in his own path, Tang San went to Slaughter City..

Year XXX4

Destiny seemed intent on recreating fragments of the original timeline. Hu Liena, driven by her desire to prove herself, entered Slaughter City. Her decision appeared almost inevitable, as if guided by an unseen force.

It was as though the manipulator of fate itself was testing whether she would walk the same path as before—whether, under similar circumstances, she would make the same choices and reach the same end.

At the same time, the Star Luo Empire remained trapped in prolonged turmoil. The conflict between Emperor Blood Tiger and the rebel forces led by Dai Mubai showed no signs of resolution. What had once been a swift coup had devolved into a drawn-out struggle. Guerrilla warfare, shifting alliances, and silent betrayals became the norm, leaving the empire in a constant state of instability.

While Star Lou empire burned in open conflict, Heaven Dou Empire started to have their own problems.

The true terror of Yu Ming only began to surface after he stepped into the realm of a Titled Douluo this year.

What had once been subtle manipulation escalated into something far more insidious. The wives and daughters of nobles began to fall under his control, one after another, like pieces in a carefully arranged game.

At first, the changes were too small to notice—slight shifts in behavior, unusual obedience, quiet emotional detachment. But as time passed, the pattern became impossible to ignore.

The most horrifying aspect of Yu Ming's ability was not merely control, but distortion.

Even the noblemen who were affected by his aura found themselves unable to resist. Their sense of dignity and possessiveness eroded under the influence of that twisted power.

Instead of outrage or resistance, many of them displayed an unnatural acceptance, as if their very instincts had been rewritten. Wives and daughters were no longer seen as individuals to protect, but as offerings willingly placed before Yu Ming.

It was a corruption that struck at the foundation of human nature.

For a time, Yu Ming's actions remained concealed as he had operated with caution, ensuring that the incidents drew too much attention. However, unlike Qian Renxue—who could really manipulate someone's subconscious—Yu Ming's method were not that secretive which led to those who noticed.

A handful of perceptive individuals began to piece together the scattered anomalies. Whispers spread quietly among certain circles, and investigations were carried out in secret. Behind the scenes, it was Twilight Hermit Order subtly fanned these flames, ensuring that fragments of truth reached the right ears at the right time.

What was uncovered was not a single crime, but a chain of them.

A pattern emerged—one that pointed directly to Yu Ming.

For a brief period, the nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire felt a fear deeper than anything they had experienced before. Compared to the distant and almost mythical rumors surrounding the Angel Goddess, Yu Ming's threat was immediate, tangible, and personal.

Fear united those who were otherwise divided. The nobles banded together and formally brought their grievances before Emperor Xue Ye.

Under normal circumstances, Xue Ye would have sought to control and utilize Yu Ming. A Titled Douluo was a rare and invaluable asset in this era, and even a dangerous one could be turned into a weapon if handled correctly. That was the logic of a ruler, until it became personal.

He would have realised the grave error the moment his own Queen and daughter showed signs of falling under Yu Ming's influence.

Maybe it was his good luck that such situation did not rise because under the subtle manipulation from Qian Renxue, he declared Yu Ming as a state criminal.

(AN: Well Yu Ming's template is much like the cheap hentai protagonist who think they can reach the top with the power he has. Well pretty much bad luck for him there is one terrifying being who was gazing at everything in this world)
