Chapter 1938: You Reap What You Sow
Tang San patted Tang Wulin's head as his body gradually began to fade out of existence. "Now that that's over, I can leave with peace of mind. However, you have to continue to work hard. With the abyssal plane's energy as a foundation, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to create a Divine Realm, but make sure to take your time and don't rush things. With your grandfather and grandmother here to look after you, you'll be in good hands."
Tang Hao asked, "How are things going on your end?"
Tang San replied, "After being swept away by space-time turbulence, we also unintentionally entered a black hole. Fortunately, we encountered other Divine Realms that have also been swept up into the same black hole, and we're currently all working together to try and escape. That's the extent of the memory of my soul fragment, but I'm sure everything is heading in a positive direction. My soul fragment is about to fade now. I'll be leaving Wulin to you; rest assured, we'll definitely be back."
Tang San's body was virtually completely transparent now, and he spread open his arms to offer Tang Wulin a hug, but as Tang Wulin made his way toward him, he had already vanished into nothingness.
"Father!" Tang Wulin yelled as tears welled up in his eyes.
Only now did he realize that his father had already planned everything in advance, and that despite all of the hardships he had faced, he had always been under the protection of his grandparents. They had simply left him to fend for himself as a way to train him!
Tang Hao flew over to Tang Wulin before laying an army across his shoulders. "A man should shed blood before he sheds tears. Your father left me when he was six and went off into the world on his own, ultimately becoming a godking through his own efforts. He has faced no less adversity than you, and he had even temporarily suffered the loss of the one he loved most when your mother sacrificed herself for him. In contrast, your situation is much better."
Ah Yin also made her way over to Tang Wulin and aimed a glare at Tang Hao before embracing Tang Wulin with a doting expression. "Don't listen to your grandfather; you've already done extremely well. And please don't blame us for not meeting you sooner; if we had done that, your father's plan would've definitely been leaked, and if the abyssal plane had caught wind of everything, then the entire plan would've failed."
Tang Wulin looked down at the ravaged battlefield down below with a pained expression. "The plan may have succeeded in the end, but we've sacrificed far too much for it."
Indeed, so many people had perished for the sake of this plane, including Chen Xinjie, Long Yeyue, Guan Yue, Dong Zi'an, Yali, Lan Muzi, Wu Zhangkong, Leng Yaozhu, Zang Xin, Cao Dezhi, and so many other powerful beings of Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, the Spirit Pagoda, and the Battle God Hall, as well as countless federal soldiers.
Over two-thirds of the Douluo Continent's most powerful beings had perished in this battle, and to call it a heavy loss would be a severe understatement.
At this point, the sky had already cleared up, and the bright sun had returned, but Tang Wulin couldn't bring himself to feel any excitement or joy.
Ah Yin smiled, and said, "Silly boy, don't forget that your father is the ruler of the Douluo Plane; he wouldn't allow all of those heroes to die. Besides, I'm currently this plane's core of life; we may not have a Divine Realm anymore, but in a sense, we are the guardian deities of this entire plane."
Tang Wulin faltered slightly upon hearing this, and right at this moment, Tang Hao swept a hand through the air, sending rainbows halos surging forth in all directions to undo the restriction on the entire world.
All of a sudden, Shrek's Six Monsters were able to move again, and all of the people on the battlefield also regained their mobility.
Everyone was still quite stunned by what had just taken place; even Gu Yuena was looking on with a dumbstruck expression.
Everyone had been completely paralyzed just now, but they were able to see and hear everything that had just transpired.
The Holy Lord had prepared 6,000 years for this invasion on the Douluo Continent, but who would've thought that he had been walking into Tang San's trap this entire time?
Everything that had just unfolded had been broadcast to every single corner of the continent, and all of the citizens of the Douluo Continent were able to see the god that arose from among them 20,000 years ago.
Gods really did exist in this world, and the gods that protected them had never truly left.
It was the damage that the human race had caused to this world that had necessitated such a painstaking plan from Tang San, luring in the Holy Lord before dealing him a lethal blow right as he combined the abyssal plane with the Douluo Plane.
It was a truly exceptional plan from a truly exceptional godking.
However, intermingled with everyone's relief was a strong sense of grief.
Far too many sacrifices had been made for the fruition of this plan, including the three federal fleets and countless troops, as well as the powerful beings that had sacrificed themselves to protect the federation.
Their friends and family were all overcome by grief, and despite the victory, there was no celebration, only a sense of deep melancholy that lingered in the air.
Right at this moment, a grand voice rang out across the entire world. "Evil-doers will be punished by the heavens."
There was no need for any soul tools to amplify the voice; it was clearly audible to everyone on the entire planet.
Tang Hao stood still in mid-air, and a rainbow halo gradually rose up behind him, releasing a voice that resonates with the entire plane.
"While those who do good will be rewarded."
Everyone's attention was drawn to the voice and its source, which was the planar ruler.
Tang Hao's body then began to expand, and in the blink of an eye, he was already standing like a pillar between heaven and earth.
The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand also began to swell in size.
This was the very same weapon that had put an end to the Holy Lord's life.
Tang Hao was a being of roughly the same caliber as the Holy Lord, but the difference between them was that Tang Hao had once possessed a godseat. Furthermore, the Holy Lord had already previously expended a massive amount of energy, and he had been immobilized by Tang San's Unpredictable, storm, thereby allowing Tang Hao to kill him with a single strike.
At this moment, the aura that Tang Hao was releasing was inspiring awe within everyone's hearts.
Among all of the powerful beings of the battlefield, the most excited ones were the Clear Sky Sect representatives. The Clear Sky Sect had stood for over 20,000 years with a history longer than even the Tang Sect, but it very rarely appeared in the public eye now.
At this moment, the martial soul of their sect, the Clear Sky Hammer, was hovering in the sky, constantly resonating with their own Clear Sky Hammers, filling them with a peculiar sensation. This was their ancestor from over 20,000 years ago!
