Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

From some point onward, the course of the lower realm completely slipped out of Tang San's control.

When did it start?

From the moment Huo Yutong stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chose to sacrifice itself for her, the divine water mirror reflecting the lower realm in front of Tang San was suddenly obscured by a vast white mist.

The fog was so thick it wouldn't dissipate; even with his god-king level cultivation, he couldn't penetrate it even a fraction. He could only vaguely make out a blurry humanoid silhouette through the churning fog…

The aura emanating from that humanoid figure made Tang San tremble deep within his soul.

That was the aura of a god.

Moreover, it is extremely powerful—most likely, it is a being at the level of a god-king.

Tang San made a quick decision and decided to stop passively watching.

He wanted to bypass the white mist and cut in from another path to secretly guide Huo Yun'er's soul, which was still wandering in the Duke's mansion as a "bound spirit," to the realm of gods.

Once Huo Yun'er's soul reaches the realm of gods, he can use the guise of "protection" to completely control Huo Yutong.

However, the moment his divine sense crossed the barrier of the interface and tried to touch Huo Yun'er's soul, a vast and boundless spatial power suddenly descended, like an invisible wall, forcefully repelling all his power!

Tang San's divine sense trembled violently. After retreating back to the God Realm, he immediately re-locked onto the direction of the Duke's Mansion. Huo Yun'er's grave had been "cut off" from the real world by an extremely mysterious force at some point.

The space surrounding the tomb transformed into a completely independent miniature world, connected to the lower realm yet belonging to no faction within it.

No external force can reach it anymore.

"This is... the power of space..."

Tang San sat in the main seat of the Sea God Temple, his pupils suddenly contracting.

As one of the five great god-kings of the God Realm Council, with both the Asura God and the Sea God coexisting, and as the enforcer of the God Realm, he has the authority to access the highest-level confidential files in the central hub of the God Realm.

This includes those long-forgotten secrets about the Divine Dragon Realm.

Before the battle of the Dragon Gods, the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King were swept into the spacetime turbulence along with the Dragon Prince.

According to the records, the Dragon Prince died from the impact of the turbulent currents, while the Dragon King of Time and the Dragon King of Space—their whereabouts are unknown, and their fates are uncertain.

The Dragon God went completely mad because of the death of the Dragon Prince, which triggered the world-destroying war that swept through the Dragon God Realm...

"Could it be... they're still alive?!"

Tang San's fingers unconsciously clenched the armrests of the throne, his knuckles turning white.

If the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King are really still alive, and if the God-King level being in that white mist is one of them, then the person standing behind Huo Yutong is not just some reclusive god, but the two Dragon Kings under the Dragon God back then!

This thought sent a cold sweat down Tang San's back.

But he could not say it to the God of Destruction.

Once Destruction discovers that he is secretly plotting in the lower realm—smuggling souls, interfering with the inheritance of gods, and manipulating the fortune of the lower realm—all of Tang San's foundations in the God Realm Committee will crumble.

Moreover, he had no idea what Destruction's attitude was toward the Silver Dragon King.

What if Destruction sides with the Silver Dragon King...?

We can't take the risk. This matter must remain unresolved.

Tang San slowly closed his eyes, suppressing his turbulent emotions.

Just then, a soft voice rang out from behind, "Third Brother."

"Someone is coming in," Ning Rongrong said softly.

The Valley of Love and Destiny has opened.

"Okay." Tang San's voice was calm, without any hint of emotion.

Late at night during the Soul Master Competition, numerous figures quietly climbed out of the windows of the Mingdu Hotel's back alley, disappearing like ghosts in the night into the intricate streets and alleys of Mingdu.

Following the pre-arranged strategy, Huo Yutong and the others split up in the back alley of the hotel and headed to their designated meeting points.

Huo Yutong's path was the most unique.

Alone, she walked through the bustling streets of Mingdu, exited the west gate, and headed west until she arrived at the deserted wasteland outside the west gate of Mingdu.

The night wind howled, causing her clothes to flutter. In the distance, the outline of the Sun and Moon Mountains resembled a lurking beast under the moonlight.

Huo Yutong's steps quickened, and her heartbeat grew louder and louder, thump, thump, thump.

Under the moonlight, a tall figure stood silently in the center of the wasteland.

Di Tian's black robe fluttered in the wind, his face was cold and deep, and his golden vertical pupils were like two miniature blazing suns in the night.

Huo Yutong strode up to him and, without hesitation, reached out and took his hand.

Di Tian was slightly taken aback, then a faint smile flashed in his golden vertical pupils. He clenched his fist in the back, interlocking his fingers.

"Let's go."

Di Tian raised his other hand, his fingertips tracing the air.

"laugh--"

A pitch-black crack appeared out of thin air, like a torn opening, its edges shimmering with dark golden spatial ripples.

Di Tian, ​​holding Huo Yutong's hand, stepped inside.

Light swirled, and space distorted.

When the two were back on solid ground, they found themselves in a dense forest deep within the Sun and Moon Mountains.

The moonlight overhead was cut into fragments by the dense foliage, sprinkling onto their clasped hands.

With a thought, Di Tian felt a surge of soul power erupt from his body and seep into the ground beneath his feet.

"Buzz—"

The earth trembled slightly, and a dark golden dragon scale that had long been buried in the soil by the Evil Emperor slowly rose from the soil and hovered in front of the two.

That was a blessing bestowed by the God of Time and Space; each of Emperor Tian's dragon scales was imbued with a one-time spatial power.

As long as the holder has his dragon scale, he can teleport to the dragon scale no matter where he is, but it can only be used once.

Only those who have a grievance against the Emperor can be teleported without limit.

Huo Yutong immediately took out a crystal-clear bead from the undead demiplane—the Ice God Bead.

"Aunt Bing, Electrolux," Di Tian said, "I'm entrusting Yu Tong to you."

Within the bead, a shadowy, icy blue dragon slowly emerged.

"Don't worry, nephew Di Tian. I will protect your Yu Tong."

Huo Yutong's face flushed red instantly, down to her ears, and even her neck turned pink. She wished she could bury her face in her collar.

Di Tian remained expressionless, only a slight smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Electrolux's phantom appeared beside Huo Yutong.

The necromancer was still dressed in a gray robe, his face was old and kind, but his eyes revealed an unprecedented solemnity and vigilance.

Beside the phantom, an ancient little tower floated silently—that was his natal artifact, the Tower of Eternity.

Although Electrolux failed to complete the final forging of the tower during his lifetime, it still reached the level of a pseudo-divine artifact, enough to protect Huo Yutong's soul from destruction at critical moments.

"Thank you both for your trouble." Di Tian nodded slightly.

Huo Yutong took a deep breath, trying to suppress the blush on her face, and stood up straight again.

She could feel that the presence of the Ice Dragon King and Ilex was like two invisible barriers, firmly protecting her in the center.

Di Tian still held her hand, their fingers intertwined once more.

The two stood there in the dense forest, waiting quietly.

There's no need to search deep within the Sun and Moon Mountains; the Valley of Love and Destiny will come to you on its own.

Huo Yutong gripped Di Tian's hand tightly, closed her eyes, and felt the warmth emanating from her palm.

Come on. Whatever it is, I'm ready.
