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

"broken!"

During their escape, Xu Sanshi slapped his thigh and exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something, "Wouldn't the Sun Moon Empire pin the assassination of Xu Tianran on our Sea God Pavilion?"

"Probably... no way?" Huo Yuhao pondered. "They have no evidence, their words are meaningless. We're not stupid enough to let the Sun Moon Empire smear us. If they can't catch the culprit, they can only bark helplessly like they did in my previous life."

Xu Sanshi: "..."

He really didn't know where Huo Yuhao got his confidence from. The past life was the past life, and this life was this life. How could they be the same?

In the previous life, the Sun Moon Empire had no power to fight against the gods. Even when the Sun Moon Empire's army was at the gates of Xingluo City, Ju Zi still ordered Kong Deming not to do anything to harm Xuan Zi.

But what about now? The situation in Douluo Continent is turbulent and unpredictable. Even with the arrival of the Shrek Five Monsters and the Soft Bone Douluo Xiao Wu in the mortal realm, the Sun Moon Empire still refuses to submit to the teachings of the Sea God Pavilion. Under these circumstances, do you still expect them to show mercy to the Sea God Pavilion?

It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Xu Tianran only needs to escort the contestants belonging to the three major empires of the original Douluo Continent to the border of Xingluo and Tianhun Empires for beheading. Those soul masters' elders will not hold a grudge against Xu Tianran. They will only hold a grudge against the Sea God Pavilion, Shrek Academy, and Tang Sect!

The consequences of the Mingdu explosion in their previous life ultimately fell upon them.

But could Xu Sanshi really say these words? Could he?

What's the point of saying anything now that it's already happened?

It's all retribution. Being reborn means that you, Huo Yuhao, the Great God King, will experience all the pain and torment of this world. Want to become a god? Heh, dream on.

At this moment, Xu Sanshi finally saw through the true nature of this world. Zhu Ningyun's death... was probably a play arranged by the real mastermind behind the scenes, so that all kinds of inheritances on Douluo Continent would disappear overnight, allowing Huo Yuhao to return to the peak, building a stage leading to heaven, and then removing the stage at the most glorious moment in Huo Yuhao's life, causing him to fall back to the mortal world once again.

This might have been the mastermind's original plan: to have Huo Yuhao lead the Tang Sect team to win the Soul Master Competition and fuel his ambition. Something unexpected must have happened, leaving him no choice but to forcibly end the Soul Master Competition by blowing up Xu Tianran's palace.

Xu Sanshi didn't intend to say these thoughts aloud; what difference would it make if he did?

If the mastermind behind the scenes can produce one Zhu Ningyun, why can't they produce a second or third Zhu Ningyun?

Xu Sanshi is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of living a life worse than death. People should not block their own way out.

Thinking of this, Xu Sanshi could only suppress his curiosity and pretend to suddenly understand, silently following behind Huo Yuhao.

He was tired and didn't want to cause any more trouble with Huo Yuhao; this was a game he couldn't win anyway.

The group traveled for about twenty minutes until they crossed the pass and entered the heart of the Star Luo Empire, at which point they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're saved."

Huo Yuhao slumped to the ground, finally relaxing his tense mind. With two Limit Douluo, Lin Huiqun and Zi Ying, by his side, no matter how domineering the Sun Moon Empire was, it was impossible for them to enter the heart of the Star Luo Empire to hunt them down.

"Let's exchange information."

Coming to his senses, Huo Yuhao's gaze swept back and forth between Chen Yu and Lu Qingshuang. He then sighed and slowly said, "My name is Huo Yuhao, the reborn God of Emotions. My wife in my previous life was Tang Wutong, the daughter of the Sea God Tang San, a combination of Wang Dong'er and Wang... Gu Yuetong."

A combination?

The Shrek team members were speechless. Huo Yuhao, do you want to listen to what you're saying? A hybrid? Why don't you just call it a Frankenstein's monster?

"At the beginning of my rebirth, I did have some unrealistic ideas, such as dreaming of becoming the master of the God Realm."

"But... I can't do that. I can't just stand by and watch the power of Zhu Ningyun's remnants grow to the point where even the God Realm has to look up to them, and enslave the Douluo World."

"Therefore, for everyone, for the Sea God Pavilion, and for the entire Douluo World, I am willing to give up my obsession and make all of this clear, so that everyone has enough time to prepare."

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in shock and cursed Huo Yuhao a thousand times in their hearts.

Everyone knows that ever since the Soul Master Competition started, one incident after another has been targeting Huo Yuhao.

Are you, Huo Yuhao, thinking of the Douluo World? Hmph! You're clearly afraid. You sensed the crisis and are afraid that the person behind the scenes will seize power in the God Realm, making you, the Great God King Huo, wish you were dead!

How could there be such a shameless person in the world?

……

In the God Realm, in the Poseidon Temple.

The Shrek Seven Devils sat around the table in the secret room, their faces all looking rather grim.

According to the message from Chen Yu, Huo Yuhao, who has lived two lives, suspects that Zhu Ningyun's remaining forces are still active on the Douluo Continent, secretly developing their power and preparing to deal a heavy blow to the Sea God Pavilion.

Tang San wasn't stupid; he could naturally understand the implication behind Chen Yu's words. The implication that Zhu Ningyun's remaining forces were still active on Douluo Continent was clearly a suspicion that Zhu Ningyun was not dead, or that Zhu Ningyun was just a scapegoat pushed out by the real mastermind!

It was just a different way of putting it to save Xiao Wu's face. If it were really that kind of situation, Chen Yu wouldn't have needed to report it to the God Realm.

"Tell me, you've just returned from the lower realm, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Tang San looked at his plastic brothers and sisters in front of him and asked for their opinions in a strong voice.

Ah this...

The five Shrek monsters were completely bewildered.

They were just five minor second-level gods with little say in the divine realm. They always obeyed orders and had no room for promotion, so why would they have the time or inclination to offer advice to Tang San?

Despite her thoughts, Ning Rongrong knew that if she didn't voice her opinion today, Tang San would definitely not let it go.

Left with no other option, Ning Rongrong braced herself and slowly said, "Third Brother, how about... we go to the lower realm under the pretext of searching for the Silver Dragon King's whereabouts and conduct a thorough search?"

"No way." Tang San said expressionlessly, "The Douluo Plane is too big. Let alone the six of you, even if all the gods in the God Realm searched together, they might not be able to search it completely. There are countless small worlds like the Rakshasa Secret Realm and the Angel Secret Realm that exist independently outside the Douluo Plane. This method simply won't work."

"Also, do not mention the Silver Dragon King in the God Realm again. If you do, don't blame me, Tang San, for being ruthless and showing no brotherly affection!" (End of Chapter)
