Chapter 1833: You Have to Take Care

However, she could only communicate with her son through this projection, and it was a very bittersweet experience for her.

Tang San stood off to the side as he appraised his wife in silence. In this recording, he was also unable to see his son, and his eyes were filled with worry and a hint of concern.

He gently rubbed his wife’s back to try and soothe her emotions, but Xiao Wu was completely unable to rein her current emotions.

Tang Wulin was also completely immersed in his own emotional fluctuations, and his yearning to see his parents had reached an extreme peak.

After a long while, Xiao Wu’s sobs faded into sniffles, and she said, “I’m so, so sorry, Linlin. I wasn’t able to protect you or stay by your side; I miss you more than you can imagine. I want to return to your side right away, to hug you, to kiss you, to caress you; I want to be together with you and never separate ever again.”

Xiao Wu’s tears overflowed once again, and she was unable to go on.

“Mother!” Tang Wulin was also unable to form a coherent sentence through his tears.

Tears also began to well up in Tang San’s eyes, and he turned his head slightly to the side as he gently embraced Xiao Wu, using the warmth of his body to assuage her sorrow.

Only after a long while was Xiao Wu just barely able to control her own emotions, and she sighed, “Linlin, you have to take care. I wish nothing more than for you to be happy and healthy. Also, you have to work hard on your cultivation and strive to attain godhood as soon as possible; only then will you be able to live until we return. Once we come back, our family will be reunited. Your father says that the Golden Dragon King bloodline will extend your lifespan for a very, very long time, but the Golden Dragon King’s power is deranged and destructive; you must guard your heart from the Golden Dragon King’s insanity at all times.

“You’ve never been an orphan; you have us, and we’ll always be protecting you from where we are. Even though I’m not by your side, I can feel it when you’re happy, so you have to be happy every day. I’ve fallen ill because I miss you so much, but if you can be happy every day, I’ll be able to sense your happiness and get better. My son, I love you so very much. Wait for me; I’ll be sure to come back for you.”

Xiao Wu made an embracing gesture once again as she spoke, wanting to hug her son, but as she did so, her face paled even further, and his body had been trembling this entire time.

“I’ll definitely be happy, Mother! Don’t be sick; you have to get better so we can have a happy reunion!” Tang Wulin yelled with all his might, frantically trying to hold onto Xiao Wu, but her projection was slowly fading away before his eyes.

He could never forgive the look in her eyes the instant before she disappeared; they were filled with boundless yearning and concern.

Tang San stood still on the spot, looking up into the sky to reverse the flow of his tears. Due to her constantly negative emotional state, Xiao Wu’s condition was constantly worsening, and he had recorded this footage to instill her with hope.historical

Only after a long while did Tang Wulin and Tang San slowly recompose themselves.

“Linlin, there’s not much time left in this recording, so listen carefully to what I’m about to say next; it’ll be the key to whether our family can reunite,” Tang San said.

Tang Wulin raised his head to look at his father through teary eyes.

Tang San continued, “The Sea God’s Trident is a transcendent divine weapon, and even in the Divine Realm, it’s an extremely powerful weapon that can rank alongside the Asura Sword. The Sea God is only a first-rank god, yet its godseat is just as powerful as a godking’s, and the main contributing factor to that is the Sea God’s Trident. I once also undertook the Nine Trials of the Sea God, and only enduring many hardships was I finally able to gain the acknowledgment of the Sea God’s Trident. Hence, you must also undertake the Nine Trials of the Sea God.

“Even though the trials you undertake will be different from mine, I’m confident that you’ll be able to pass the trials one after another and arrive here to meet me. The eighth trial was set up for you by me as the current Sea God, and its name is ‘Battle Between Father and Son’. You’ll be facing me in my most powerful form before I became the Sea God, and only after defeating me will you attain the acknowledgment of the Sea God’s Trident. There’s another important reason why I left the Sea God’s Trident with you: it’s so that it can act as a set of coordinates for me to find you in the future.

“Hence, you must protect it, and it’s extremely important that you truly gain its acknowledgment. According to the rules of the Nine Trials of the Sea God, each trial you complete will increase your affinity with the Sea God’s Trident slightly, thereby allowing you to obtain more of its power. Once you complete all of the trials, you’ll inherit the Sea God’s godseat and become the Sea God. I once went through the very same experience, but unfortunately, I can’t pass the godseat onto you as there is no longer any Divine Realm presiding over the Douluo Continent, and I’m too far away to pass down my godseat through the Sea God’s Trident.

“Hence, all I can do is weaken my brand on the Sea God’s Trident so that you’ll also be able to use it and obtain its power. Hence, after you complete the Nine Trials of the Sea God, you’ll be able to master this transcendent divine weapon, but you won’t be able to use it to attain godhood; you’ll have to become a god through your own effort and power. Even the planar ruler of the Douluo Continent won’t be able to help you achieve this, but I’m confident that my son will forge his own path. Also, as your mother just said, your Golden Dragon King bloodline will infinitely extend your lifespan, so you won’t have to worry about age even if you don’t attain godhood.

“Hence, do not force yourself and recklessly attempt to make a breakthrough to godhood until you’re ready. Absolutely do not touch the final two seals before you become a god. Otherwise, there’s a very high chance that the Golden Dragon King will devour your will. Back when I slew the Golden Dragon King, it injected all of its essence into your body both to get back at me, and to give itself a chance at reincarnation through you. If the final two seals are broken before you attain godhood, there’s a very good chance it’ll possess you, and that’ll be a very tragic fate for you, so do not let it happen.

“Make sure to practice the Unpredictable Storm that I passed onto you until it’s second nature to you; it’ll assist you greatly in your times of need. Do not fear in the face of any enemy; trust me when I say that I will always be by your side. My son, you must become stronger; only then will you be able to hold out longer and last until our reunion. Alright, brace yourself now; you are about to face me in my most powerful pre-god form. Only by defeating me will you gain the acknowledgment of the Sea God’s Trident. Do your best; I’m confident that you’ll succeed.”

Tang San’s message concluded here, and he continued to look in Tang Wulin’s direction with a warm smile.

Through the words of his father, Tang Wulin was able to sense many things.
