"Failed?"

Shui Bing'er felt a slight twinge of surprise but quickly realized that Wang Dong'er had misunderstood her. As a soul master, she couldn't possibly eliminate the Sea God; her aim was merely to sever the Sea God's legacy.

"Where has Shui Wuyā gone?"

Wang Dong'er glanced around, not seeing Shui Wuyā, and recalled his words from the previous day. Shui Wuyā intended to kill Tang San, and she feared that if Tang San from the past were killed, she too would cease to exist.

"This has nothing to do with you. What is your relationship with him?"

Shui Bing'er didn't answer Wang Dong'er's question. With a look of disdain, she instead asked about Wang Dong'er's connection to Shui Wuyā.

"He's my mortal enemy, he killed Huo Yuhao..."

Under immense mental pressure, Wang Dong'er recounted her encounters with Shui Wuyā in the future.

"In any case, I will kill him and make him pay in blood!"

Wang Dong'er, filled with resentment, planned to contact the Tang Sect and her father as soon as she escaped.

Hearing this, Shui Bing'er sneered coldly, her beautiful eyes gleaming with icy killing intent. She was curious about Shui Wuyā's life and had hoped Wang Dong'er would divulge more information. But since Wang Dong'er intended to kill Shui Wuyā, Shui Bing'er couldn't let her escape alive.

Not long after, Shui Bing'er left the prison. Before leaving, she used her Ice God powers to freeze the entire prison, cutting off all contact between Wang Dong'er and the outside world.

"Without my and Shui Wuyā's permission, no one is allowed near the prison," Shui Bing'er ordered as she stepped out.

"Understood!"

Several figures in ice-blue armor immediately knelt and responded respectfully.

...

Ten thousand years later, in the Divine Realm.

Outside the Asura God's palace, a man and a woman floated in midair, gazing at the ice-sealed Douluo Star.

These two were none other than the Asura God Tang San and his wife, Xiao Wu.

"San-ge, can't you break the seal on Douluo Star?" Xiao Wu asked, leaning close to Tang San, her face showing unmistakable worry.

"Breaking the seal isn't difficult, but with that woman obstructing, it's nearly impossible," Tang San replied grimly, his gaze shifting towards the Ice God's palace.

Previously, he had convened a trial as the Enforcer God King to temporarily imprison the Ice God. However, this time, his usually foolproof methods had unexpectedly failed. Due to the chaos during the trial, the judgment was canceled, and his plan to imprison the Ice God fell through.

"Is there really no other way?" Xiao Wu shook her head helplessly, deeply concerned for their daughter's safety.

Just then, Tang San suddenly felt a pang of dread, and his expression turned deathly pale.

"We've lost contact with Dong'er!"

Tang San spoke with difficulty, his dark eyes brimming with murderous intent. At that moment, he could no longer sense Wang Dong'er's presence. Their mental link had been abruptly severed, as if cut by a sharp blade.

"Dong'er must be in danger! I need to go to Douluo Star and find her!" Xiao Wu, as a mother, was immediately thrown into panic. She desperately wanted to ensure Wang Dong'er's safety herself.

Unexpectedly, Tang San swept Xiao Wu into his arms, holding her tightly.

"Calm down. I'm currently injured. If I fight Shui Bing'er again, the outcome will be the same as before," Tang San said, stopping Xiao Wu.

The seal Shui Bing'er had placed on Douluo Star was peculiar. Although Tang San could break it, it would take at least two to three hours. Approaching the seal would immediately provoke a confrontation with Shui Bing'er.

After a few moments, Xiao Wu reluctantly agreed to Tang San's plan and did not rush towards Douluo Star. The two exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.

However, what happened next in the chaotic sky left both of them even more shocked and bewildered.

A dilapidated, dark meteor streaked across the sky, its once brilliant purple light fading visibly.

"It's that alien star!" Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise, knowing the significance of the rapidly falling star.

Tang San felt the same, though his expression was even grimmer. At the Golden Dragon King's seal, he hadn't realized the star was in such a state of disrepair, now even falling from the sky.

The fall of the alien star meant Huo Yuhao's death. How could this be?

Tang San couldn't understand. To win over that alien star, he had even given up his own daughter. But now, not only had the star fallen, but he had also lost contact with Dong'er. It was all for nothing.

"It's all because of Shui Bing'er and that damned guy! They are the reason things are out of control!" Tang San's eyes filled with hatred, blaming Shui Bing'er and the mysterious figure behind her.

Whenever he thought of the person behind Shui Bing'er, his resentment grew even stronger.

"If it hadn't been for him, Shui Bing'er would have been just an ordinary student at Tianshui Academy, not qualified to oppose me!" Tang San silently cursed, recalling many past events. His hatred for that person far exceeded his hatred for Shui Bing'er.

"Huo Yuhao is dead. Doesn't that mean our daughter has even less hope?" Xiao Wu's face grew tense and worried again.

"Don't worry. She's my daughter. The heavens will protect her," Tang San reassured Xiao Wu while feeling a sense of relief. He was grateful for his foresight in splitting Wu Tong's soul into two parts. Even if something happened to Wang Dong'er, the other part would still be safe.

...

Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu.

Several days had passed since the Mingdu Conference began, with participating teams from various factions taking turns to compete.

Representing the Tang Sect, Wang Qiu'er had been the most impressive, sweeping through all opponents and gaining much admiration.

In contrast, Shrek Academy, having lost both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, had not performed well so far.

However, more concerning to Elder Xuan and the others than the team's poor performance was Shui Wuyā's sudden disappearance!

As the young master of the Shui family, Shui Wuyā had been staying at Shrek Academy's inn upon arriving in Mingdu. But the day before the conference began, he and his entourage mysteriously vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated into thin air.
