Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 1.1. God Realm Huo Yuhao

Divine Realm, Eternal Temple

Huo Yuhao, as usual, activated the Eye of Eternity and surveyed Douluo Continent. Within his divine vision, this vast continent unfolded before him unobstructed: the towering walls of the Spirit Hall, the magnificent Heaven Dou Palace, the soaring War Soul Hammer, the awe-inspiring Haotian Sect, and the world-renowned Seven Treasures Glazed Sect... every detail of the continent was in full view.

At this moment, the Xingluo Empire is hosting its once-in-five-years Continental Spirit Master Competition. The Haotian Sect's twin stars, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, have fought their way through to the finals, where they face off against the Spirit Hall team. If nothing unexpected happens, this competition will be the catalyst for the Haotian Twins' rise to fame.

"There are only a few decades left until Tang San is born. Converted into God Realm time, it's only a few dozen days." Huo Yuhao murmured softly, his eyes deep. He couldn't help but wonder if the future Tang San would also be like him, standing on a high vantage point overlooking the continent, taking in everything?
Only after becoming a god did he realize the absurdity of his initial assumptions upon arriving in the Douluo World. In this world, the gods' authority towered over all beings below. Tang Hao, a mere second-level god, could possess the will of the Douluo plane, let alone the supreme God King. The God King's thoughts were pervasive, controlling virtually everything and everyone in the plane. Unless encountering Dragon Valley, the Divine Test Grounds, or possessing a divine artifact, the beings of Douluo Continent were virtually invisible to the gods. The only true checks and balances on the gods were the rules of the Divine Realm Committee.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel dazed, a hint of self-mockery welling up in his heart: "How ridiculous! At first, I naively thought I could pull off some tricks under the nose of the God King."

Looking back, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel fortunate for his choice. In his previous life, he was called Huo Qiqiang, a time traveler. The moment Huo Yuhao escaped the Duke's Mansion, he took over his original body. As a time traveler, Huo Yuhao knew his situation well. How could he tolerate a little scoundrel pooping and pissing on his head?
Although he did not have a system, Huo Yuhao was full of confidence in the future due to his own opportunities and understanding of the future. He first went to the Star Dou Great Forest and obtained two powerful plug-ins, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, and then refused to join the Tang Sect and went all the way to the Sun Moon Empire.

However, just as he was about to receive the Sun-Moon Empire's green card, a hand as thick as a palm-leaf fan patted his shoulder. Huo Yuhao looked up and saw that the person called himself Titan. The older brother beside him was called Niu Tian. He had also brought a young man with pale blue hair and said he wanted to meet him. Seeing that pale blue hair, Huo Yuhao's heart instantly collapsed—everything seemed to be back on track.

Huo Yuhao was thus forced to enroll in Shrek, and upon Niu Tian's persuasion, he joined the Tang Sect. He underwent a series of Divine King trials, similar to those of Huo Yuhao in the original novel, now even more difficult. During this time, he attempted to resist Divine King Tang's control, but each time he made the slightest move, he was swiftly corrected, leaving him with little room for resistance.

Facing the max-level boss, Tang Shenwang, Huo Yuhao's only advantage is his identity as a time traveler and the Son of Fortune. This status prevents Tang San from arbitrarily modifying his memories or severing his soul like he could with ordinary spirit masters. Even when facing Huo Yuhao in the original novel, Tang San can only influence and control him through other means, such as using his daughter as a bargaining chip, guiding the original owner's soul to the divine realm, modifying his soul to use as a tool, or influencing him through various tests.

(Note: If Tang San could treat Huo Yuhao like an ordinary spirit master, then there would be no need to treat his daughter the way he did in the original novel.)
Huo Yuhao's identity as a time traveler afforded him a crucial "talisman"—his memories were inaccessible to Tang San. This meant that while Tang San could control Huo Yuhao's every move, he could never penetrate his innermost thoughts. Consequently, the only realm where Huo Yuhao could freely roam was his enclosed inner world, where freedom of thought lay.

His relationship with Tang San mirrors the complex and delicate game between the Three-Body Civilization and the Wallfacers in "The Three-Body Problem." After repeated attempts to break free from God-King Tang's control, Huo Yuhao finally grasps a harsh truth: in this world, without godhood, he will never be able to contend with Tang San. Thus, he makes a difficult and painful decision: feign submission while secretly plotting and waiting for an opportunity to backstab him.

However, this path was destined to be fraught with obstacles and dangers. Huo Yuhao's every move was under the close scrutiny of God King Tang. He must constantly demonstrate his deep love for Dong'er. Even the slightest hint of insincerity would instantly bring the God King's test upon him. Through round after round of trials from God King Tang, Huo Yuhao gradually transformed into a brilliant actor, captivated by the "stitched monster" he had stitched together. Huo Yuhao's portrayal of the awkward Haodong Sanjue was more sincere and even more awkward than the original character. His father-in-law later told him that the sight of it had made him shed crocodile tears.

While acting, Huo Yuhao also focused on improving his fundamentals and cultivating his spiritual power. He knew one thing: if the foundation is not solid, the whole world will be shaken. He was forced to accept the fate of his original owner, but he never gave up. Huo Yuhao knew that the turning point of all events lay in the future of the God Realm, not in Douluo Continent. Only by becoming a god could he reverse the course of events and crush Tang San.

Finally, with the permission of the God King, Huo Yuhao was able to become a god, the God of Emotions from the original novel. And so, with a 100-pound body and a 99-pound rebellious streak, Huo Yuhao ascended. Upon ascending to the divine realm, Huo Yuhao immediately went to the Sea God Temple to pay his respects to Tang San, weeping bitterly, "Father-in-law, from now on, I will follow you, no matter what happens." This obeisance filled the God King Tang with joy.

After that, Huo Yuhao steadily gained the trust of the God of Destruction, won his father-in-law's favor, and gradually entered the God of Destruction's core decision-making circle. At the same time, he continuously deepened the conflict between the two major factions of Destruction and Tang San, secretly exposed the identity of the undercover Zhou Weiqing, eliminated the hidden dangers around the God of Destruction, and secretly colluded with the Golden Dragon King.

Afterwards, the war between Tang San and Destruction erupted. Due to Huo Yuhao's presence, the God King Tang suffered repeated defeats. To counter the God of Destruction, Tang San reluctantly relaxed some of his constraints, allowing Huo Yuhao to travel to the core of the Divine Realm to comprehend the laws of the universe and elevate his godhood.

In the process of repeatedly nurturing enemies and pursuing personal gain, Huo Yuhao grew into a God King and became Tang San's most indispensable and trusted right-hand man.

Finally, the crisis of God Realm came. Life was destroyed and he sacrificed himself to save God Realm, and entrusted the two God seeds to Tang San.

The Golden Dragon King was freed from his seal, and Tang San was forced to face the Golden Dragon King alone after his battle with Destruction. His calls for help to Ji Dong and Lie Yan were intercepted by Huo Yuhao's immense mental power, and the two Divine Kings were even led away by Huo Yuhao.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao launched a backup plan on Douluo Continent, wiping out A Yin and Tang Hao who had seized the plane's will and life core, and liberating Douluo Continent.

It was not until Tang San and the Golden Dragon King were both injured in the battle that Huo Yuhao joined the battle, bringing hope to the wounded Tang San.

The old father-in-law said with tears in his eyes: "Yuhao, you are finally here, come with me to take down this evil beast."

Huo Yuhao's face was grim, and he had endured for hundreds of years (Douluo Plane plus God Realm time), just for this moment, to launch a backstab -

The moment Huo Yuhao's claws pierced Tang San's heart, God King Tang was filled with disbelief: "Why, you want to betray me!"

"Old villain Tang San, a real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for long!" After saying that, Huo Yuhao crushed Tang San's heart, snatched his life from Tang San, destroyed the two divine seeds, and escaped into the turbulence of time and space.
