Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 146 Down Syndrome

Tang San was not surprised that his attack was blocked.

He was just venting his frustration. Tang San was annoyed that Xu Yang had disrupted his plans time and time again.

Even the chosen one, the one of destiny, seems to be on Xu Yang's mind.

"You shouldn't be here."

"This Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is the territory of my Tang Clan."

"Don't say that, senior!"

"What do you mean by 'your Tang Clan's territory'? This place is clearly a treasure land formed after my two good allies, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, perished, influenced by their remains—"

"If we have to be honest, shouldn't you pay me, your good ally, for the immortal herbs you took from here ten thousand years ago?"

"After all, those immortal herbs only grew because of the environment here, so in a sense they are the private property of my ally."

"Taking something without permission is theft —"

Xu Yang's words were utter nonsense in Tang San's eyes. But upon closer examination, they did make some sense.

Tang San remained silent, still thinking of a way to deal with Xu Yang.

"At the very least—I can't let my plans be completely disrupted. The chosen one, I'm determined to have him. The chosen one, I'm determined to have him."

"And there's also the Acacia Heartbreak Red. That thing was originally a backup plan to prevent Xiao Qi's soul from becoming unstable after fusion, but unexpectedly, the Silver Dragon King took it."

He had considered that it might be taken by someone else he had arranged who liked the chosen one, but it turned out to be the Silver Dragon King.

"This Acacia Heartbreak Red is completely ruined. Fortunately, the remaining power from the place where the God of Love fell should be able to condense into another one, so it can't be considered a complete failure."

"But we still need to stop Xu Yang."

"If we continue to let him run wild like this, what kind of thing would it be if his chosen one of destiny didn't even lay a solid foundation for becoming a god?"

"Moreover—Xu Yang has a major backup plan. It's all thanks to his previous hard work—"

Tang San now feels somewhat fortunate when he thinks about it.

"It is true that this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was formed due to the fall of two Dragon Kings, but—the immortal herbs within it were all seeds I personally planted ten thousand years ago."

"Therefore, the ownership of these immortal herbs belongs to my Tang Clan."

"If you want, it's not impossible. Join my Tang Sect, and you can then freely choose any immortal herbs here."

"However, there are a few plants you cannot touch—"

"For example----"

Before Tang San could finish speaking, Xu Yang walked to the middle of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and picked the Qiluo Tulip.

"How dare you—?"

Tang San's eyes were starting to redden, and he was panting heavily.

This is a typical case of Down syndrome.

"Don't be angry, Senior Tang San."

"Look, there are still so many immortal herbs here. There are still many that can be used by the chosen one of destiny."

"Besides, there are other ways to improve one's aptitude besides immortal herbs. Even a little bit of what you slip through your fingers would be enough to feed all the people of Douluo Continent."

Why be so fixated on these things?

Or perhaps—that acacia flower that breaks one's heart?

"The only slightly unusual thing here is that thing."

Could he really be right? Is this thing really related to Tang Wutong after her fusion and sublimation? But since he's already taken it, he can't just give it back.

In order to reassure Tang San, Xu Yang held the Qiluo Tulip in his hand and examined it for a few moments before saying, "Senior Tang San, I can make a concession."

"As long as you give the word, I absolutely won't touch anything that shouldn't be touched. But—only two immortal herbs, please. The rest are the personal property of my good ally, and if he/she doesn't want them, I won't give them to you even if I have to destroy them."

"You are welcome to try and see who is stronger, Miss Gu Yuena or your clone. If a fight breaks out, these fragile immortal herbs will be left unprotected, and their fate will be uncertain—"

Xu Yang's tone revealed a sense of helplessness.

He even acted as if he was thinking of Tang San's best interests.

Xu Yang didn't want to really push Tang Shenwang too far. Tang San, in order to maintain his pure and innocent image, hadn't deliberately targeted him yet. If Tang San were determined to kill him because of this, he wasn't sure if he could survive unscathed.

Destroying life is powerful, but how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?

A little concession is all it takes.

"You can't touch those two things: your eyes are as clear as autumn dew, and your skin is as fair as jade. Give them to me now!"

To prevent any further accidents, Tang San directly seized the two immortal herbs and then used various means to move them away.

After that, Tang San's figure became much dimmer, as if he had overexerted his strength.

With at least these two things, the foundation for the chosen one to become a god has been laid.

At worst, he can just try to get something from other places, which will surely help the chosen one rise to a higher level.

There are also treasures similar to the Gold of Life in the realm of gods, which can be used together with these two immortal herbs as rewards for testing the chosen ones.

After a brief moment of thought, Tang San came to his senses.

"Although the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is now useless, he still possesses one of the three great treasure basins. He can then legitimately intervene in some affairs."

"Alright, it's decided then. Senior Tang San is really straightforward. I like working with people like Senior Tang San."

Xu Yang kept calling him "senior," but Tang San found it all very unpleasant to hear.

In the end, Tang San didn't do anything further; making things worse would be bad for everyone.

Once the chosen one of destiny is nurtured, the格局 (geju, a concept encompassing power, structure, and overall situation) of the God Realm will naturally change. Without a divine position, the God King of Destruction will undoubtedly be significantly weaker. Furthermore, with a newly born God of Destruction like Xu Yang, even if he were to wield the position, how much power could he possibly exert?

He could also fulfill Rong Nianbing's wish by passing on the position of the God of Emotions to Huo Yuhao.

At that time, the divine realm will still hold the advantage for him!

The secret to Tang San's success lies in his ability to endure what ordinary people cannot.

Tang San's figure disappeared.

Xu Yang was quite surprised to see Tang San disappear so readily.

"Is my great God King Tang San off planning some kind of heaven-defying scheme again? This doesn't quite fit Xu Yang's understanding of Tang San."

However, Xu Yang didn't think too much about it.

Anyway, his current goal is to become stronger.

The plan to fuse warriors can now proceed further.

After obtaining the Qiluo Tulip, Xu Yang had a new idea.

There are no Honkai Beasts like Vishnu in Douluo Continent that can devour everything indefinitely, but there is something similar—the Taotie.

Xu Yang once asked Di Tian if there were any purebred Taotie soul beasts still existing on the Douluo Continent, but Di Tian's answer was that he hadn't seen a Taotie for a long time, except when he was in the Divine Dragon Realm.

That goes back to his childhood.

That Taotie was a good friend his parents made when they were conquering other realms of gods, and he recognized it as his uncle.

In the Douluo Continent today, let alone Taotie, even the Behemoth race is practically extinct. Only a few soul beasts with Behemoth bloodlines, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears, remain.

Xu Yang had no choice but to follow this line of thought and set his sights on an old acquaintance.

Xuanzi holds multiple positions, including head of the Shrek Academy's inspection team, deputy head of the Sea God Pavilion, and supreme venerable of the Holy Spirit Cult.
