He was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts or making a decision.

Finally, he raised his eyes, his gaze slowly sweeping across the faces of the three elders, and in a low but clear voice, he uttered the conjecture he had been pondering for a long time: "Because... this disciple feels that the 'Great Sumeru Hammer' and the 'Great Kunlun Hammer'... their essence may... point directly to the path of the gods."

"A god?!" Xia Qingyun, Chen Xun, and Chen Hong were all moved almost simultaneously.

Chen Hong directly countered with confirmation: "Were these images left to you by your master?"

"Yes." Chen Xiaojun nodded. "That Tang San in later generations used the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul to perform ring detonation, providing the ultimate boost to defense rather than strength."

"Wait!" Xia Qingyun raised her hand to interrupt, her brows furrowed. "What did you say? The future? Tang San? What do you mean by the future? And who is Tang San?"

Her gaze suddenly turned extremely sharp.

Seeing this, Chen Xun quickly explained, "Mother,"

"That's right. According to Xiao Jun's mysterious master, he is probably... a very powerful being of extremely high status, whose realm is very likely to have reached... the 'God King' level."

"And the so-called 'Tang San of the future' should be a key figure in the future fragments that the being allowed Xiao Jun to see through the river of time..."

Chen Xun briefly described the specific details about Master Chen Xiaojun.

Xia Qingyun knew that Chen Xiaojun had a mysterious master because she had practiced the Nine Yang Divine Skill given to her by the Chen family, but only now did she realize that this master's power level was... God King!
They also learned about the existence of the future "Tang San" and his connection with the Haotian Sect.

After receiving Chen Xun's explanation, Chen Xiaojun continued, "Among those fragments of the 'future,' it is clear that 'ring explosion' is not exclusive to the Clear Sky Hammer. It is itself a top-level energy utilization rule that transcends a single martial soul. That's one point."

"Secondly," Chen Xiaojun's gaze became even more profound, "Mount Sumeru, Mount Kunlun... In the information I know, they are ultimate existences far beyond imagination. They are the legendary origin sites of the founders of Buddhism and Taoism, and their level... is difficult to... estimate."

"But these two mountains do not exist on the Douluo Continent."

His tone was filled with strong doubt, "Then, where do the ultimate inheritances called 'Great Sumeru Hammer' and 'Great Kunlun Hammer' come from?"

"What truth is hidden within those so-called 'ruins'?"

But one thing is certain—

He asserted unequivocally: "The upper limit that these two inheritances can bear is terrifyingly high!!"

"We absolutely, absolutely cannot let them fall into the hands of the Haotian Sect intact."

"This is by no means a good thing for our Chen family, or for any family or force that exists on the entire Douluo Continent."

A deeper silence fell over the side hall, and even the lamplight seemed to sense the almost frozen heaviness, its light and shadow flickering with unusual quiet.

The reflection showed the extremely solemn faces of Xia Qingyun, Chen Xun, and Chen Hong.

Chen Xiaojun's assertion that "the two hammers may point directly to the divine path" was like a thunderclap, completely shattering Chen Xun's original assessment framework about the Haotian Sect.

The hall was as silent as ink.

Chen Xiaojun took a deep breath, met the piercing gazes of the three elders, and slowly exhaled: "One thing is very clear, in that so-called 'later life' trajectory, the Haotian Sect did not annex the Xuanhuang Tang Family."

He paused, his tone turning cold and resolute, "I don't know what force intervened, or whether so-called history corrected this 'mistake' on its own... but since it doesn't exist in that trajectory, we will now make it into reality ourselves."

Heavy thoughts swirled and lingered in the air as if they were tangible.

Chen Xun broke the silence first, his voice carrying an unprecedented solemnity: "Mother, Uncle."

"At that top-secret family meeting three years ago... we discussed what attitude we should take towards the Haotian Sect and that Tang Chen."

He recalled, "The final conclusion at the time was to observe carefully and wait and see."

There were two core considerations at that time: First, what if we faced Tang Chen, a peerless Douluo who was bound to rise in the future?
The Chen family's three-step grand strategy is to become a super power (the current goal), to ascend to the Immortal Clan (the medium to long term), and to defend against the God Realm in the future (the ultimate plan). How much weight does a peerless Douluo carry in the face of such a grand plan?
The core logic supporting it once seemed solid: because the two unparalleled talents they were nurturing with all their might—Chen Xiaojun and Xiaoyi—were destined to surpass Tang Chen in their growth trajectory. Even other promising talents within the family, such as Chen Jianjun, Chen Yanwu, and Chen Jianzun, might not be unable to achieve the same.

The Chen family will possess absolute power in the future, firmly suppressing Tang Chen and even the entire Haotian Sect.

This is the source of the Chen family's confidence.

With the majestic mountains they will one day reach the summit, they can easily overlook and suppress the seemingly precipitous but clearly visible peaks opposite them.

Time is a natural ally for the powerful Chen family, and there is no need to take any extreme measures to destroy them or the entire Haotian Sect.

Secondly, regarding the "later Tang San" who might be entangled with the Haotian Sect a hundred years later, and the Sea God and Asura God hidden behind him, the higher-ups at the time judged that the time window was still wide.

The Chen family's senior management at the time judged that the long-term threat assessment of the Haotian Sect, which was in the open and would likely remain within the Chen family's "relatively familiar" range (through continuous suppression and monitoring) for the next hundred years, was probably lower than that of a behemoth whose fate was completely reversed due to an unknown variable (intervention from the divine realm).

"Familiarity" implies predictability, weaknesses, and room for maneuver.

As long as Chen Xiaojun and Xiao Yi, who possess the divine inheritance, grow up as scheduled, suppress the future Haotian Sect and Tang San, and prevent them from going astray, they will at least be inferior to a Tang San, Zhang San, and Li San who have become unrecognizable due to complete loss of control.

Even with the equally powerful Peerless Douluo Poseidon, the Chen family only allied him with Seagod Island and incorporated him into their own system, which was a game within their control.

Bo Xian'er's change of stance is particularly important here, because of the betrayal of that sea god!

Therefore, she naturally chose to align herself with the Chen family, allowing Seagod Island and the Chen family to develop together.

The community of shared interests is expanding.

……

However, Chen Xiaojun's announcement at this moment shattered all the premises.

The key difference between that "future" and "reality" is clearly revealed: the Haotian Sect failed to annex the Xuanhuang Tang family.

Chen Xiaojun's proposal to "make it a reality with his own hands" has a very precise core objective—to prevent the Haotian Sect from absorbing the Xuanhuang Tang Family.

To prevent them from having the opportunity to merge with and delve deeper into those two ultimate hammer techniques that are suspected to have unknown origins with the gods—the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Great Kunlun Hammer!

This is no longer just a simple game of balancing power.

Allowing the fusion to occur is tantamount to opening a vague door to unpredictable power for the Haotian Sect.

The potential connection between those two lineages and the realm of the divine, whether deep or shallow, carries unknown variables and risks that far exceed the scope of a conventionally powerful adversary.

It introduces the seeds of a threat that is completely out of control.

A familiar "trouble" that the Chen family has firmly grasped in their hands is the only "controllable threat" that the Chen family can accept.

Chen Xun's gaze quickly swept over Xia Qingyun's deep, unfathomable eyes and Chen Hong's sharp, lightning-like gaze.

No further words are needed; a silent consensus has been established amidst the thunderous roar.

This ruthless choice was clearly reflected in Chen Xun's suddenly contracting pupils and the unconscious tremor of his dantian soul power.

The high wall called "prudence" crumbled in the face of the overwhelming goal of risk isolation, leaving only the cold, hard reality of necessary intervention.

This struggle has transcended family feuds and points directly to the future destiny of the Chen family and even the entire Douluo Continent.

That silent decision made the air in the side hall freeze as if it were lead.
