"Whoa! That really was quite the show."
At this mont, far across millions of miles, Ye Cheng had witnessed the entire "father-and-son conflict" between Tang San and Tang Hao. He honestly didn’t know what to say.
These two had suddenly turned on each other and fought to the death, but it had nothing to do with Ye Cheng. He hadn’t used any underhanded thods to control their minds. Everything they did was driven by the evil within their own hearts. At most, the Abyss rely gave them a reason—an excuse to indulge their inner darkness without guilt. Using the Abyss as justification, they acted as if doing evil was completely reasonable.
So when Tang Hao gave in to greed, it truly reflected what was in his heart. Deep down, he had never considered Tang San his real son. He had only placed his hopes for revenge on him, which was why he forced himself to acknowledge Tang San as his child.
But when that son beca useless—and worse, stood in his way (regarding the divine weapon choosing its master)—he struck without the slightest hesitation.
There was really nothing to slander them for, because they were rotten to begin with. It’s just that until now, there had always been a fig leaf hiding their true natures.
"The human heart... really can’t withstand scrutiny."
Ye Cheng couldn’t help but sigh. No wonder there’s a saying: "It’s a blessing to be muddle-headed." Because once you peel away the surface and confront the truth beneath, you’ll often find things aren’t so beautiful after all.
After killing Tang Hao and removing that unstable factor, Tang San continued to lie low in the Slaughter City, quietly developing his strength—waiting for the day he would reign over the world.
...
Baiyun City.
This city had many gates.
Right now, Ye Cheng was leading the mbers of Spirit Hall, with Qian Renxue at the forefront, to one of those gates.
The high-level officials of Baiyun City, led by the three great clans, had already gathered at the gate to await them.
After all, their own boss was returning with powerful allies—not to ntion one of them was the Angel God. Or perhaps more importantly, the future wife of the City Lord. Even just for her sake, it was only proper for them to welco her at the gates.
The area around this city gate had been cleared in advance, with all unrelated persons kept away. As a result, only the top officials were present, waiting respectfully.
Bathed in golden sunlight, a group of people descended from the sky and landed before the gate.
It was none other than Ye Cheng, leading the Spirit Hall delegation.
Seeing their city lord return, the officials imdiately stepped forward to pay their respects.
Ye Cheng gave a light nod, then instructed them to treat the high-ranking mbers of Spirit Hall with full hospitality. As for the specifics of cooperation, they could decide those themselves.
Afterward, he took Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Little Klee with him and headed to his residence.
During this period of cooperation, Spirit Hall’s people naturally needed a place to stay.
The other high-ranking mbers were arranged elsewhere, while Qian Renxue and the others were accommodated in his City Lord’s Manor. After all, he had many buildings and pavilions—plenty of space to spare. More importantly, in so ways, Qian Renxue and the others could be considered "his own people."
"Wow~ These houses are so pretty!" The architecture of the City Lord’s Manor was full of subtle, graceful charm typical of Chinese aesthetics, which clearly delighted Little Klee. As soon as she entered, she began curiously looking around.
"Do you like it?"
"Little Klee will be living here for a long ti from now on," Ye Cheng said gently, his voice full of warmth.
"Then..."
Little Klee’s excitent slowly turned to hesitation. She asked cautiously, "...Will Mama be living here with Klee too?"
To soone her age, it didn’t really matter where she lived. Ho was simply wherever her mother was. Without her mother’s presence, even the prettiest and most comfortable place wasn’t one she could like.
"Of course. Mama will be living here with Little Klee," Bibi Dong said with a reassuring smile. She wouldn’t say anything that might make the child feel anxious. Besides, she figured she’d be spending a long ti in Baiyun City from now on.
Learning the new system of Divine Ring Masters from scratch was no easy task. Most importantly, she was now at a critical stage—just a step away from becoming a god. If she stayed here, she could ask Ye Cheng—who had long since ascended to godhood—whenever she needed help. That was far more convenient than staying in distant Spirit Hall.
At that mont, as if summoned by instinct, five maidservants of the City Lord’s Manor rushed over after hearing that their master had returned. They were only slightly surprised upon seeing Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, but when they saw Little Klee, their expressions instantly turned to shock. After all, soone from the future was far too inconceivable.
If not for Little Klee standing there alive and well—along with the previous signs of temporal chaos—no one would believe in sothing as absurd as ti travel.
’Are these the quintuplets?’ Qian Renxue studied the five maids, who looked almost identical apart from hairstyle and clothing. She silently wondered whether Ye Cheng, as their master, had shared a bed with them.
Bibi Dong’s focus, however, was different. She was shocked to find that these five maidservants gave her a faint sense of danger.
What did that an?
It ant that the five of them were at least Titled Douluo at the highest level—near demigod status.
This astonished her. She was shocked by the depth of Baiyun City’s foundation. Just five maids wielded such terrifying power—this ant that if Baiyun City wanted to, it could crush Spirit Hall with ease before Qian Renxue beca a god. There was no force under heaven that could stand against Baiyun City.
Thankfully, they were allies now.
Bibi Dong’s desire to beco a Divine Ring Master grew stronger. In her view, Baiyun City was overflowing with experts, and the root of that strength was Ye Cheng’s creation of the Divine Soul Master system through the Ring Condensation thod.
This was a brand-new, limitless system!
The old Soul Master system was gradually falling behind the tis.
Only Baiyun City represented the future of the Douluo Continent!
At this mont, Bibi Dong felt incredibly fortunate that she had connected with Ye Cheng early on. Otherwise, Spirit Hall would eventually have been left far behind by the very clans they once looked down on. Just like in the future video—although it didn’t state outright what happened to Spirit Hall—so glimpses gave the answer.
Spirit Hall had clearly declined in the new era.
Even with the Angel God as a first-class glof, and adding herself as the Rakshasa God—two first-class gods total—in an age where gods erged in droves, they could at best be considered strong, but far from dominant like they once were.
Bibi Dong had every reason to believe: in that future, if Qian Renxue hadn’t gotten involved with Ye Cheng, Spirit Hall’s fate would’ve been even worse!
