*Divine Realm, Asura God's Palace.*
Deep within the hall, Tang San's eyes were gloomy, and his unease grew stronger by the day.
For some time now, he had been plagued by a persistent feeling that something bad was about to happen, a feeling that began after the fall of an alien star.
No, it wasn't just that. It all started when he erased the Shui family from the Douluo Continent. The feeling had flashed by then, but he hadn't paid it much attention. Now, thinking back, it had to be related to that wretched Shui Bing'er!
"Shui Bing'er, Shui Bing'er, why are you everywhere!" he seethed. "I was the most outstanding one, born with full soul power, possessing twin martial souls, a Tang Sect disciple! I should have been the first to become a god, not a beggar relying on the charity of others."
Tang San's words were filled with resentment.
As he spoke, his thoughts shifted to another person—the one who had killed him in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Though he still didn't know the person's identity, he had a gut feeling that this person was the mastermind behind all his misfortunes, the one responsible for his repeated humiliations.
His intuition was unwavering.
"Soon, I will find you. As long as you are on the Douluo Continent, you cannot escape me! A mere mortal, I can crush you with a flick of my hand," Tang San's voice was as cold as ice.
*A Thousand Years Ago, on a Remote Island.*
Shui Wuya and his companions had rested for half a day, their soul power almost fully restored.
It was time to return.
After bidding farewell to the two deans of Tianshui Academy, Shui Wuya activated the time-space travel, taking Shui Bing'er back to the Douluo World of a ten thousand years later.
His mental power flowed like water from his mind, using up about a fifth of it to successfully travel through time.
"We are in... the primeval secret realm of the Extreme North!"
Upon their reappearance in the primeval secret realm of the Extreme North, Shui Bing'er looked around in astonishment.
The vast primeval secret realm was filled with grand palace complexes and countless luxurious buildings, exuding a sense of ancient history.
Amid these palatial structures, towering hundred-foot trees flourished.
"This is the Shui family of a ten thousand years later," Shui Wuya explained with a smile, seeing Shui Bing'er's surprise.
Shui Bing'er realized that she had once led the eight deans to the Extreme North, discovering this primeval secret realm. Over the thousands of year, the Shui family descendants had used this secret realm as a foundation to build a grand and magnificent family.
"Clan leader!"
Suddenly, a shout came from nearby. A burly figure waved joyfully at Shui Wuya.
"Han Feng."
Shui Wuya nodded at the burly figure.
Since Han Feng became the head of the Shui Family's Soul Tool Hall, he had mostly stayed within the family, seldom venturing out with Shui Wuya.
"Clan leader, during your absence these past two days, we searched everywhere for you. We thought you had gone missing," Han Feng explained when he reached Shui Wuya. It turned out that with the day of the Shui family's emergence approaching, Shui Wuya's sudden disappearance had caused considerable panic among the clan members.
"To accomplish great things, one must remain calm even in the face of catastrophe. Why panic?"
Shui Wuya raised an eyebrow and advised Han Feng.
"I understand, Clan Leader," Han Feng nodded immediately, showing a contemplative expression as if mulling over Shui Wuya's words.
However, his gaze soon shifted to Shui Bing'er, standing nearby.
"Clan Leader, who is this?" Han Feng asked, his eyes filled with curiosity. He had never seen this young woman in the Shui family before.
"This is a friend of mine. She has come to the Shui family specifically to attend our ceremony," Shui Wuya replied, having already prepared his explanation.
"I see," Han Feng nodded again and then looked towards the direction of the Shui Family's Clan Leader Hall.
"Clan Leader, Shui Yanjun is waiting for you in the Clan Leader Hall. There are some matters that require your personal decision," Han Feng continued.
"Alright, I'll head there immediately," Shui Wuya nodded and prepared to go to the Clan Leader Hall.
Just then, a strange spatial fluctuation appeared in the sky, followed by a spatial vortex materializing out of thin air.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the vortex, Shui Wuya's face initially showed hostility. However, when a terrifying killing intent emanated from the vortex, his expression immediately changed.
Moments later, a figure emerged from the spatial vortex.
It was none other than Shui Yuanchen, a demigod powerhouse of the Shui family!
"Shui Yuanchen greets the Clan Leader," Shui Yuanchen said as he descended from mid-air and bowed in front of Shui Wuya.
"No need for formalities, Uncle," Shui Wuya waved his hand with a warm smile.
With Shui Yuanchen's breakthrough to the demigod level, the Shui family had undoubtedly risen to become a top-tier force on the continent, far surpassing even those with Ultimate Douluo guardians.
As Shui Yuanchen looked at Shui Bing'er, his face showed a moment of shock.
"This appearance... she looks so much like the ancestral founder of the Shui family!"
Time seemed to stand still as Shui Yuanchen's gaze remained fixed on Shui Bing'er, his slightly bloodshot eyes exuding a compelling aura.
"Uncle, is there something wrong?" Shui Wuya asked, noticing Shui Yuanchen's intense stare. He felt a twinge of unease, fearing that Shui Yuanchen might discern Shui Bing'er's true identity.
He really didn't know how to explain it if he did.
"Nothing," Shui Yuanchen finally shook his head, feeling embarrassed by his earlier thoughts.
After all, the Shui family's first ancestor had attained godhood. Even if she were to descend to the continent, she couldn't possibly be a girl of less than twenty.
Moreover, from his perception, although Shui Bing'er was exceptionally talented, she was only a Soul Douluo, far from reaching godhood.
Soon after, Shui Yuanchen was settled into a specially arranged palace for rest.
As the Lord of the Slaughter Hell and a member of the Shui family, a dedicated palace had long been built for Shui Yuanchen during the family's reconstruction.
Shui Wuya then went directly to the Shui family's Soul Spirit Sanctuary to find Xue Di.
During this period, Xue Di had been staying in the underwater Soul Spirit Sanctuary, always with the Ice Turtle Ancestor.
When he finally found Xue Di, he was surprised to discover that she had already reached the Soul Douluo level!
