In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

My father's older brother is called "Uncle," my father's younger brother is called "Uncle," my father's sisters are called "Aunt," and my mother's brothers are called "Uncle"...

As a seasoned rocking horse driver, Chen Yu could understand the extremely complicated relationships between the various branches and houses of the Sea God family. The original Shrek Seven Devils only had seven people, and with the two former Forest Kings, there were only nine in total, which was no challenge for her at all.

After some pleasantries, Xiao Wu got down to business. "Yu'er, I heard... you have something important to report to me?"

Chen Yu said with a solemn expression, "Master's wife, this matter is rather complicated, and you may not be able to make the decision. If possible, I would like to report it directly to our teacher."

Looking at the solemn-looking girl in front of her, Xiao Wu rubbed her forehead, pondered for a moment, and finally sent a call invitation to Tang San.

To be honest, she had a very good first impression of Chen Yu. Having seen a spoiled and willful little devil like Ning Rongrong and a silver tiger like Dai Mubai, seeing a normal noble lady was a refreshing surprise.

The perspective shifts to the realm of gods.

In just over an hour, Xiao Wu sent another "voice chat" invitation, which annoyed Tang San.

Frustrated as he was, the affairs of the mortal realm still needed to be handled properly; he couldn't let a trivial matter ruin his grand plan that would last for millennia.

Tang San had no choice but to accept Xiao Wu's invitation to talk.

"Teacher, that chosen one of destiny, Huo Yuhao, is a reincarnated person..."

Chen Yu made no attempt to conceal anything and recounted exactly what Huo Yuhao had confessed to everyone at the Killing Academy, which was roughly some of the important plot points from "The Legend of the Emotional God King".

Tang San was stunned!

As one of the three law enforcement gods in the God Realm, Tang San knows quite a lot. At the very least, he truly understands some of the settings of parallel worlds.

"So... after the destruction of the divine realm in a parallel world, the soul of Huo Yuhao, the God of Emotions, attached itself to... the younger version of Huo Yuhao in this world?"

Tang San murmured something, his face darkening.

This is a bit tricky. He is absolutely confident in controlling Huo Yuhao, the chosen one of destiny, but the problem is... Huo Yuhao is still the same Huo Yuhao, but his soul has been replaced by an old monster who is tens of thousands of years old.

Even a fool would know that Huo Yuhao in this life would never be content to be inferior to anyone. He is a ruthless person who can cultivate to the level of God King with only a first-level godhood. Killing him is not an option, nor is not killing him.

and many more!

Why would Huo Dashenwang, who suffered humiliation at the hands of the Tang family in his previous life, join the Tang Sect in this one? Judging by his demeanor... he seems genuinely interested in reviving the Tang Sect.

Huo Yuhao wanted to use this method to lull the Great Heavenly Venerable Sea God into a false sense of security.

Thinking of this, Tang San frowned and asked, "Yu'er, in your opinion, what is Huo Yuhao's attitude towards our Tang family?"

"What attitude?" Chen Yu pondered. "From the moment he promised us the divine position, it wasn't hard to see that he harbored an ambition to become the ruler of the God Realm. As for the Sea God Pavilion, the Tang Sect, and Tang Ya and Bei Bei, they were more like Huo Yuhao's ideal men. In his previous life, when he left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and had nowhere to go, it was Tang Ya and Bei Bei who brought him back to Shrek City..."

Tang San understood.

So it turns out... Huo Yuhao is plotting to seize power.

But... what should we do next? The original plan is definitely not going to work.

After some thought, Tang San suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Since he couldn't eliminate Huo Yuhao directly, why not... use him as a tool of the Tang Sect first, and when the time was right, have Rong Nianbing pass on the divine position according to the original plot? As for the content of the divine test... humph, that's up to Tang San to decide!

Tang San said coldly, "Yu'er, keep the fact that you are the successor of the Sea God a secret from the other members of the Tang Clan for now. Also... find a way to seize real power in the Tang Clan. The process is not important; I only care about the result."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu stammered, "Teacher, look, Huo Yuhao keeps promising divine positions. I'm afraid that those Tang Sect disciples will be blinded by Huo Yuhao under the temptation of divine positions."

Chen Yu's words made sense, but now... without agreeing to the God of Destruction's expansion of the God Realm, the Sea God and Asura God lineage simply couldn't offer any extra divine positions to win people's hearts. Hmm... this is a bit difficult.

So be it. At worst, I'll just make an empty promise. Once everything settles down, whether or not I keep my promise is entirely up to me, the Great God King Tang.

Thinking of this, Tang San nodded and said calmly, "Yu'er, don't worry about that. The price Huo Yuhao can offer, our family can offer too. However... there's one thing I must remind you: it's best not to promise godhood to more than five people. Godhood isn't something you can just pick up anywhere."

ummm

never mind!

Chen Yu knew Tang San's character well. She knew very well that he was making empty promises. Once everything was settled, this promise would most likely be broken, or he would simply issue a few low-level divine tests to get by.

But... she didn't care. As long as she could become a god and live forever, what did conscience matter?

She wasn't Qian Xunhuan, nor was she a saint who would rather die than betray her conscience. She was just an ordinary person, an utterly vulgar one.

After leaving Xiao Wu's residence, Chen Yu headed towards the Tang Sect base.

The water inside Shrek City had been drained, leaving the streets in a mess. Under the guidance of teachers from various levels at Shrek Academy, students were cleaning up the remaining water stains on the streets with mops.

Chen Yu subconsciously touched the trident mark hidden behind her bangs and couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly. From this moment on, she was separated from these boys and girls by a sad, thick wall.

The scene shifts, and Chen Yu intends to return to her courtyard to try and get some information out of Xu Fengxian. As she passes by the gate of the Huo family mansion, she suddenly hears... the sound of Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu Martial Soul possessing her.

Huh? What are these people up to now?

Chen Yu frowned, then pushed open the gate of the Huo residence, and saw... Huo Yuhao was whipping Xu Sanshi, who was carrying a tortoise shell on his back.

"Xu Sanshi, do you have masochistic tendencies? What are you two doing over there? When are you getting married? I wish you all the best."

Chen Yu stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the two fellow disciples in front of him, his face extremely gloomy.

Ah this...

Huo Yuhao scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "Senior Sister Chen Yu, you've misunderstood. My relationship with Third Senior Brother isn't like that. Well… I've developed a new soul tool, adding a layer of protection to the existing soul tool's array, which greatly reduces the chance of energy fluctuations causing the array to malfunction."
