Chapter 603 When the Story Ends (4k)

On Douluo Continent, twenty years have passed since the Sun-Moon Empire launched the war.

During these twenty years, the entire continent was incredibly peaceful. Except for the fact that nearly twenty years ago, the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao of the Xingluo Empire was suddenly exposed to a huge scandal, all countries chose to recuperate at the same time.

We can have such a peaceful time thanks to the current leader of the Sea God Pavilion, Tang Wulin, and the current leader of the Tang Sect, Huo Yutong.

They disappeared nearly twenty years ago and only returned to Douluo Continent half a year ago.

When they came back, they also brought a great fortune to the Douluo Continent.

The new Dragon God Tang Wulin used the God Realm Center as a reward for the eighth test of the Dragon God Assessment to directly evolve the entire Douluo Continent into a new God Realm. While opening the upper limit of 100 levels, he also evolved the heaven and earth energy of the entire continent into fairy spirit energy. Although the concentration and quality cannot be compared with the previous God Realm for the time being, it is always much stronger than the original Douluo plane.

All of a sudden, the cultivation speed of soul masters across the continent soared, and even the soul power awakening rate increased from less than one-tenth to nearly 100%.

A month ago, Moon En, the former leader of Dragon God Pavilion, successfully broke through the 100-level barrier and became the third person to become a god in this era after Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong.

His success brought new hope to the entire continent. For a while, scenes related to Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong were popular all over the continent, and they were worshipped by the people as a new belief.

At this moment, these two people who were worshipped as gods by the whole continent were arguing about something.

“So that’s what I said!”

Huo Yutong, whose lower abdomen was already bulging, said to Tang Wulin in dissatisfaction:
“I want to go out more often. Don’t keep me in this room all the time!”

Tang Wulin advised earnestly:

“Yutong, Her Excellency the Goddess of Life said that a fetus needs to be nurtured in a place with strong vitality. This room is the most suitable place.”

“But the Goddess of Life also said that I should try my best to meet my needs.”

Huo Yutong puffed up her cheeks and stared suspiciously into Tang Wulin’s eyes.

“Wulin, are you hiding something from me?”

“Absolutely not!”

Tang Wulin quickly raised his hand and said.

“Humph–“

However, Huo Yutong still looked unconvinced.

Tang Wulin broke out in a cold sweat.

As expected, Huo Yutong knew him too well.

Just as Huo Yutong said, he was hiding something from her.

Since the God Realm has the rule of “one day in heaven is one year on earth”, in the more than half a month since he inherited the throne of Dragon God, nearly twenty years have passed on Douluo Continent.

After learning about this, he quickly dealt with everything that needed to be dealt with and returned to Douluo Continent.

As a result, shortly after returning to Douluo Continent, he received bad news.

“I see, the Dragon Queen is already pregnant…”

In the Dragon Valley, the Light Dragon King groaned in distress in front of Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

After upgrading Douluo Continent to a new divine realm, he came to Dragon Valley to resurrect all the dragons and upgraded Dragon Valley to a new plane.

Afterwards, he told the newly resurrected Light Dragon King the happy news of Huo Yutong’s pregnancy.

He originally thought that the Dragon King of Light should be happy that the heir to the dragon clan had been found, but looking at his expression, something seemed to be wrong.

The Bright Dragon King also noticed Tang Wulin’s uneasiness. He sighed and explained:
“Although I really want to tell you that there is no problem and you don’t need to worry, hiding the truth will lead to irreversible consequences, so I will tell you directly, my lord.”

He clenched his fist and said in a heavy tone:
“It is much more difficult for a dragon god to give birth to a mate than for ordinary creatures. The last generation of dragon gods lost their beloved one for this reason.”

“……what?”

Tang Wulin suddenly felt his heart tighten, and his originally excited mood instantly cooled down.

The Light Dragon King sighed.

“I don’t want to pour cold water on you, but this is the fact. What’s more, the Dragon Queen is pregnant with twins this time. The pain you will face will be dozens or even hundreds of times more severe than the previous Dragon Queen. I hope you can be prepared in advance.”

Tang Wulin was silent for a long time and asked:
“Then what do I do next?”

He was so confused at the moment that he had no idea what to say.

“Two choices.”

The Light Dragon King raised two fingers and said seriously:

“First, don’t have these two children. In this way, no matter what, the life of your loved one can still be saved. But if you want to choose this path, I hope it can be done as soon as possible. The sooner you make this decision, the less harm it will cause to the mother.”

“As for the other option, of course, it is to give birth to them. However, if you want to choose this option, I suggest you act now and try every possible way to increase the success rate.”

Tang Wulin asked bitterly:

“Is there no third rule?”

He didn’t want to choose either of these.

He had just learned that he was going to be a father, and if possible, he didn’t want to give up these two lives.

But if he had to risk losing Yutong, he would rather choose the first option.

However, the biggest problem was that he suspected that Huo Yutong himself would choose the second option without hesitation after learning about this.

The Light Dragon King sighed again and shook his head.

“I’m sorry, my lord, no. If there had been, the previous Dragon God wouldn’t have ended up like that.”

“…”

Tang Wulin fell silent.

The two of them just stood together in silence. Tang Wulin didn’t say anything, and the Light Dragon King didn’t interrupt to disturb his thoughts.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Wulin finally said in a dry voice:
“This is not something I can decide on my own. I need to ask Yu Tong.”

After saying this, he was ready to turn around and leave Dragon Valley.

Seeing this, the Light Dragon King quickly stopped him.

“Wait a moment!”

Facing Tang Wulin’s puzzled gaze, he said anxiously:

“My Lord, I hope you won’t let your lover know about this. As far as I know, the success rate in this regard is also linked to the mother’s psychology. If your lover wants to give birth to the child even at the cost of her own life, then everything will be over.”

“Then tell me what I should do!”

Tang Wulin finally got angry.

He was seldom so upset.

As a husband and prospective father, he had absolutely no choice.

The Light Dragon King came in front of him, placed his hand on his shoulder, and said softly:
“My Lord, please calm down. All of us dragons will help you. You can try to ask the Dragon Queen for her opinion in a more obscure way and then decide what to do. No matter what decision you make, we will definitely stand by your side.”

“……I see.”

Tang Wulin gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, looked him straight in the eyes and said:
“I hope you can prepare for the birth first, and then think of a solution based on this. I guess Yutong will never give up the child.” And things turned out just as he thought.

After leaving Dragon Valley, Tang Wulin tried to ask Huo Yutong indirect questions using different methods.

As a result, Huo Yutong’s intention was very clear. She would never give up the child.

After learning the answer, Tang Wulin felt very complicated, not knowing whether to be sad or relieved.

But no matter what, what to do next has been determined.

From then on, Tang Wulin began to make preparations secretly without telling Huo Yutong.

It is said that the Dragon God’s newly born child will absorb the mother’s vitality and soul power, so he specifically sought out two experts in this field.

“Hmm… So there is such a thing? Please allow me to spend some time to study it, and I will definitely give you an answer later.”

After hearing the whole story from Tang Wulin, the newly resurrected Alex agreed to prepare for a smooth delivery without telling Huo Yutong.

The other goddess of life who was sought out by Tang Wulin provided him with many treasures to enhance his vitality.

Thanks to these two people, he finally had some control in the two most critical areas.

But this is far from enough. According to the Light Dragon King, even if this is achieved, Huo Yutong’s probability of death is still higher than the probability of survival.

Tang Wulin had no choice but to try his best to keep Huo Yutong in the room engraved with various magic arrays, while looking for a way to break the impasse outside.

But doing this all the time would obviously cause Huo Yutong’s dissatisfaction, so during this period she suggested going out to play more and more frequently.

Time went back to the present. Tang Wulin suppressed the hesitation in his heart while continuing to maintain eye contact with Huo Yutong.

This behavior lasted for more than a minute. Finally, Huo Yutong sighed and looked away.

“Hey, Wulin, I know you’re doing this for my own good, so how about this? I’ll just go out for once, and we’ll go out and play for a day, and then I’ll stay in this room the whole time, okay?”

After saying this, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Tang Wulin without blinking.

Her pleading look immediately distressed Tang Wulin. He hesitated for a while, but finally gave in and sighed:

“Okay, then it’s a deal. Just one day.”

“it is good!”

Huo Yutong suddenly jumped up and jumped into Tang Wulin’s arms, smiling cheerfully:

“I knew you were the best, Wulin!”

Listening to her bell-like laughter, Tang Wulin felt a mixture of strong feelings of pity and heartache. He smiled and stroked her hair, and asked softly:
“You keep saying you want to go out and play, have you decided where to go?”

“Ok!”

Huo Yutong chuckled.

“I only had one choice from the beginning, Wulin, just follow me!”

After she finished speaking, she jumped off Tang Wulin without waiting for his reply and walked out of the room first.

Tang Wulin shook his head helplessly and followed her out.

Perhaps because he didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere of this rare trip, Huo Yutong did not choose to use space to move, but instead walked towards the destination with Tang Wulin on foot.

Fortunately, with their level of cultivation, they are not slow even when walking. While ensuring the speed of travel, they can also enjoy the fun of traveling.

Huo Yutong was chattering all the way, like a kid who was extremely excited after getting a new toy. It was obvious that she was suffocated by being locked up in the room for half a year.

However, the more excited she was, the more heartbroken Tang Wulin felt.

He understood with a deep pain in his heart that he could never accept such a smile disappearing from his side.

As they got closer to their destination, Tang Wulin gradually understood where Huo Yutong was taking him.

“It’s really here.”

After arriving at the destination, Tang Wulin looked at the big tree in front of him and said with emotion:
“I remember this was the tree where we first met, right?”

“Ah.”

Huo Yutong walked forward and touched the tree. His eyes became blurry and he was obviously lost in his memories.

“The turning point of my entire life was meeting you under this tree, so I will never forget it in my life.”

After saying this, she suddenly turned around and gave Tang Wulin a brilliant smile.

“Wulin, do you remember when we last came here?”

“Ah.”

Her smile was so dazzling that Tang Wulin couldn’t help but shift his gaze away from her face, not daring to look directly at her.

“It was when I just came back from Dragon Valley.”

“Yes, at that time we had just made significant progress.”

Although Tang Wulin did not look at Huo Yutong’s face, he could tell from her voice that she was extremely happy.

“We came here three times. The first time was when we met, the second time was when we were completely together, and the third time was when we were about to give birth to a new life. Don’t you think it’s a ritual to come here at this time?”

“……really.”

Tang Wulin clenched his hands unconsciously.

The happier Huo Yutong’s voice was, the more hurt it was to him.

His mind couldn’t help but replay every moment they had spent together.

A strong desire suddenly arose in his heart, and he wanted to tell Huo Yutong that he didn’t want the child anymore.

However, when he thought of her happy voice just now, Tang Wulin couldn’t help but think about it again.

The Dragon King of Light had told him that if he aborted the two children against the mother’s wishes, the harm would be greater.

There was no way she would agree to such a request when she made such a happy sound.

He tried hard to suppress the sadness in his heart and asked dryly:

“So this is why you, Yutong, wanted to bring me here to play today? Do you want to experience this sense of ritual?”

“Well… yes, but not completely.”

Huo Yutong’s voice suddenly became a little bit distressed amidst the happiness.

She murmured:

“I’m afraid that if I don’t come, I’ll never have the chance to come here again.”

“!”

Hearing this, Tang Wulin suddenly raised his head and happened to meet Huo Yutong’s half-smile.

Facing Tang Wulin, who seemed to be struck by lightning, Huo Yutong showed a smile as bright as a flower.

“I’m going to die in childbirth, right?”

she asked.
