DD2-Chapter 332: Wang Dong'er Died! Angry Huo Yuhao!
At this moment, in the gap between the planes, facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, Tang San finally gave a reply after some thought. His response was a strategic retreat, using an appeal to sympathy. He reminded all the gods of his contributions over the years, providing a very legitimate reason for his actions—finding a successor! At that moment, all the gods present were at a loss for words.
Because, according to Tang San's explanation, there was truly nothing wrong with his actions! Many gods in their realm had done the same. Tang San's previous statements echoed the sentiments of several gods who were present.
Yes! When they first became gods, they truly believed they were entering a realm of enjoyment. It wasn't until they reached the top that they realized how far from that ideal reality they were. How could this be a good life? This was pure torment!
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Once they became gods, they needed to take on corresponding duties. Initially, they could manage these obligations, but the problem was that many of them had endured for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years. Gradually, they began to resent that responsibility.
At this point, the gods started looking for successors—new beings willing to take on the mantle of divinity. As soon as they found a worthy successor, they would naturally retire. Although their strength would diminish after relinquishing their divine status, the freedom they gained in return was invaluable. And this word, freedom, was exceedingly rare for gods.
Thus, upon hearing what Tang San had said, many gods felt a profound sense of resonance in their hearts. They expressed their opinions:
"So that's how it is."
"Then there's no problem!"
"Yes! Seeking an heir is perfectly normal."
"Everyone does this, so it isn't against the rules."
"Yes! And Huo Yuhao is the son-in-law of the Sea God. Understandably, he'd find an opportunity to test him!"
Suddenly, the consensus around Tang San shifted once again. The God of Destruction grew silent upon hearing this. While he felt discontent and was eager to retaliate fiercely, he couldn't find a suitable angle to counter Tang San's reasoning. Ultimately, he could only snort coldly and continue to watch the screen.
On the other side, Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with guilt. Taking the initiative, she said to him, "Brother San, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you before. I was wondering why you did this, and it turns out it was for this reason."
Tang San felt a surge of pride in his heart. He increasingly believed he was quite clever. However, he was careful not to overindulge in his pride in public. He reached out, gently ruffling Xiao Wu's hair, and smiled, "It's okay. This is something that will happen in the future. Don't mention it. If I didn't think about it carefully, I wouldn't have figured it out either."
"But this is a good thing. I'll take this opportunity to announce my desire to leave the God Realm. Xiao Wu, remember when you said you wanted to visit other places? I've always kept that in mind."
"When we find a successor, we'll go. If Huo Yuhao can pass my test, I'll marry Xiao Qi to him. That way, we won't have to worry about Xiao Qi, and we can explore the universe freely."
Tang San kept conversing with Xiao Wu. After hearing this, Xiao Wu felt deeply moved. What Tang San said reflected a casual remark she had made earlier, but the fact that he remembered it touched her heart.
"Thank you, Brother San. You are so kind."
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu hugged Tang San and kissed him on the cheek.
Tang San smiled and patted her back, saying, "What's the matter? I will keep my promise! Because you are my most treasured one!"
After he finished speaking, he continued to watch the screen, believing he had overcome the difficulties. However, at that moment, the scene on the screen shifted.
[The picture shifted to Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er.]
[Because their strengths were almost identical, and they had never fought to the death, no winner had yet emerged between Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er.]
[However, this seemed to cause dissatisfaction with the mysterious voice.]
[At that moment, the voice reappeared: "You hesitate in battle. In this case, choose another way."]
["Huo Yuhao is now on the brink of death. Whoever is willing to die for him can survive. Remember, if one of you dies for him, he will have the chance to be with another person."]
[In other words, while your death could save him, it also means helping his rival get closer to him. You have three seconds to decide!"]
["Three!"]
Wang Qiu'er was momentarily stunned. She subconsciously glanced at Wang Dong'er, her vertical pupils glowing with her golden dragon martial soul.
[It was a white jade hand that defied the cold and frost.]
[It was a pair of eyes filled with love for life.
]
[It was a touch of sadness and reluctance.]
[It radiated natural, reckless determination.]
Without hesitation, without a moment's pause, she took the irrevocable step to allow Huo Yuhao in the light and shadow a moment's safety.
["Puff!"]
[The white imperial hand pressed against her smooth forehead, and radiant golden light erupted from her forehead like a small sun.]
[The magnificent light from the goddess wings at her back instantly fractured into countless luminous specks, dissipating into nothingness.]
[Wang Dong'er's eyes no longer gazed at the sky but at Wang Qiu'er, who stared vacantly. In Dong'er's eyes, there was a mix of pleading, exhortation, and profound reluctance.]
["Dong'er!" Wang Qiu'er shouted as if struck by lightning.]
At that moment, in the gap between the planes, all the soul masters were stunned upon witnessing this scene.
"How could it be like this?"
"How could it end like this?"
Huo Yuhao's expression changed dramatically as he reached for Wang Dong'er, "No! I absolutely will not accept this future!"
