Tang Wulin gasped, suppressing the turmoil in his chest, and continued reading, calming his unease.
"This...this is impossible..."
"Wasn't she long dead?"
When Tang San, who was hiding deep within Tang Wulin's spiritual world, saw the appearance of the "Goddess of Light," his pupils suddenly contracted and his voice trembled unusually.
As the mastermind behind the substitution back then, even if the person in front of him turned to ashes, Tang San would still remember him.
"Wu Lin, can you look up the martial soul and name of this Goddess of Light?"
Tang San took a deep breath and tried his best to keep his tone calm as he spoke.
Although Tang San tried his best to keep his tone calm, Tang Wulin still noticed something was off about Tang San's tone.
"What's wrong, Lao Tang? Your voice sounds a bit off."
Faced with Tang Wulin's concern, Tang San lied without thinking, "It's nothing, it's just that looking at this Goddess of Light reminded me of an old friend."
Without a second thought, Tang Wulin quietly relayed the information about the Goddess of Light to Tang San, word by word.
"Di Qiu'er... her martial soul is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!!!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San felt a sudden shock, his pupils contracted sharply, and he even held his breath for a moment.
Based on these two pieces of information alone, Tang San could be 100% certain that the so-called Goddess of Light was none other than the Imperial Beast from the Star Dou Forest ten thousand years ago!
But there was one thing Tang San couldn't understand: how exactly did Di Qiu'er's soul escape from the depths of the underworld and even reincarnate in the Douluo Continent?
Back then, in order to avoid Huo Yuhao noticing anything unusual.
After Wang Qiu'er made her sacrifice, he personally went to the underworld and imprisoned the part of the soul belonging to the Emperor Beast in the abyss of the underworld.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't have had the chance to reappear in the world, but now she has reappeared.
"Is it an accident or..."
A look of unprecedented seriousness flashed in Tang San's eyes, and a faint sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
If this is just a coincidence, then all is well.
The turbulent flow of spacetime can even sweep away the realm of gods, so it's quite normal for the underworld to be impacted as well.
If the soul of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion accidentally escaped during that great calamity and happened to be reborn in the Douluo Continent, then everything before our eyes can be explained.
But what if this isn't a coincidence?
Tang San felt a tightness in his chest. If someone had really deliberately "fished" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soul out of the underworld, then things would be very complicated.

Chapter 28 The Hall of Heroes of the Sugar Gate
"Old Tang? Old Tang?"
Tang Wulin called out repeatedly in his mental world, but Tang San seemed to have gone offline and no longer responded.
Left with no other choice, Tang Wulin had to withdraw from the spiritual world.
The bus sped along and soon entered the outskirts of Donghai City.
When Su Mo saw the metal plaque for the "Donghai Soul Guidance Technology Park" through the car window, he immediately guessed Wu Changkong's purpose.
If nothing unexpected happens, the place Wu Changkong is taking them to should be the Tang Clan's branch in Donghai City.
As one of the three top powers in the Sun Moon Federation, the Tang Clan has its own branch halls in various cities of the Federation.
Tang Wulin looked around the park with curiosity, his eyes full of wonder.
Although the Donghai Soul Guide Technology Park is located on the outskirts of Donghai City, its prosperity is in no way inferior to that of the Donghai urban area.
The only difference is that the tall buildings on both sides of the road are slightly more spacious and less cramped, but the streets are just as bustling with traffic and crowds as the city center.
This place is also known as the "heart of Donghai City," bringing together all of Donghai City's high-tech enterprises. There are even rumors that there is a factory here that specializes in producing mechs.
Just as Su Mo had expected, after a series of turns, the bus finally came to a steady stop in front of a dark blue building.
The entire exterior of the building is covered with deep blue glass, which gleams slightly in the sunlight, like a tranquil sapphire set in a jungle of steel and concrete.
Compared to the towering and imposing skyscrapers in the park, this small building seems insignificant.
But upon closer inspection, one will find that every line on its walls exudes an indescribable sense of refinement.
"Teacher Wu, where is this place? Why is no one here?"
Looking at the empty gate, Tang Wulin curiously looked at Wu Changkong.
Wu Changkong did not answer, but instead took a step forward and placed his hand on the glass.
With a flash of bright blue light, a projection suddenly lit up, and a voice with a hint of mockery spoke, "Yo! Long time no see! Donghai Xiaochangkong."
Wu Changkong ignored the other party's teasing and coldly said, "Open the door quickly!"
"Little Changkong, you're still as boring as ever after all this time."
Before Wu Changkong could react, a soft "ding" sounded, and the glass door slowly slid open to both sides.
"The name 'Little Sky Over the East China Sea' is so adorable!"
Xie Xie, who was following behind Wu Changkong, was complaining to Tang Wulin in a low voice.
Suddenly Xie Xie felt a chill on his neck. When he looked up, he saw Wu Changkong staring at him with an unfriendly gaze.
Faced with Wu Changkong's death stare, Xie Xie shuddered and quickly straightened up. "Teacher Wu, I didn't say anything just now."
Wu Changkong glanced coldly at Xie Xie without saying a word.
Stepping through the glass door, you enter a huge, empty room. The pure white floor and deep blue walls complement each other perfectly, two colors that seem completely mismatched yet harmonize beautifully at this moment.
With a wave of his hand, Wu Changkong sent a floating metal platform flying over, supporting four metal bracelets.
"Put it on!"
Wu Changkong glanced at Su Mo and gave the order, sparing with words.
Unusually, Su Mo didn't contradict Wu Changkong and simply put on the bracelet.
Seeing Su Mo put on the bracelet without hesitation, Xie Xie looked at Wu Changkong curiously, "Teacher Wu, what is this?"
Before Wu Changkong could speak, Su Mo had already answered for him, "This is an identity verification bracelet. Without this bracelet, you will be treated as an intruder and eliminated by the building's defense system."
Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong glanced at Su Mo in surprise, then nodded in agreement with Su Mo's statement.
Xie Xie exclaimed in amazement, "It feels incredibly impressive, though I don't fully understand it!"
After everyone put on their wristbands, Wu Changkong said, "Stay close," and led Su Mo and the others deeper into the room.
Deep inside the room was a winding passageway. After several turns and passing through a glass door, a flash of white light appeared, and Wu Changkong, who was walking at the front, suddenly disappeared.
Wu Changkong's sudden disappearance caused Tang Wulin and the other two to instinctively stop in their tracks.
Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie, all acting like country bumpkins who had never seen the world, left Su Mo speechless.
It's understandable that Tang Wulin and Xie Xie didn't know, given their limited knowledge.
But Gu Yueming, as Leng Yaozhu's disciple, didn't even know this? He's simply inhuman.
"This is Tang Sect's space technology. I think our next exam will be related to the Hall of Heroes, which Tang Sect developed independently."
"Space technology, I remember it wasn't mature yet, was it?"
"And what the heck is this Hall of Heroes?"
Xie Xie blurted out his doubts in a rapid-fire manner, but as he spoke, he realized something was amiss.
"Wait, you're saying this is the Tang Clan?"
"The Tang Sect, which, along with Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda, is known as the Iron Triangle of the continent."
Xie Xie's voice suddenly rose several octaves.
Before Su Mo could speak, Wu Changkong's voice came from all directions, "Alright, now is not the time for you to chat. We can talk about anything after the assessment. You guys step forward."
At the control panel, Wu Changkong frowned slightly as he looked at Su Mo on the screen.
Originally, he planned to first use the Hall of Heroes to arouse Tang Wulin and the others' interest, and then bring up the existence of the Tang Sect in order to win over Tang Wulin and the others to join the Tang Sect.
But now, with Su Mo's explanation, all his careful preparations have vanished.
At this moment, Wu Changkong regretted bringing Su Mo here.
Originally, Wu Changkong did not plan to bring Su Mo along, since judging from Su Mo's performance and knowledge, he would definitely not join the Tang Sect.
But considering that Su Mo's origins were still shrouded in mystery, Wu Changkong reluctantly brought Su Mo along.
Here, Wu Changkong was able to record every detail of Su Mo's battle in the Hall of Heroes.
When the time comes, all that's needed is to upload the footage of Su Mo's battle to the Tang Sect headquarters' server. With the Tang Sect headquarters' resources, it will be an easy task to investigate the forces behind Su Mo.
The Hall of Heroes is a technology independently developed by the Tang Clan. It uses various data to simulate members of the Tang Clan throughout history, thus providing Tang Clan members with practical combat experience.
However, because the Tang Sect members mindlessly mythologized their ancestors, they increased the simulated Soul Master power several times over, yet stubbornly claimed that they had only reproduced 70% of their ancestors' power.
Therefore, the Tang Clan's Hall of Heroes is jokingly referred to by people from other organizations as the "Sugar Clan's Hall of Heroes!"
"Hopefully this won't affect Tang Wulin and the others joining the Tang Sect."
Wu Changkong muttered something to himself.
As soon as Su Mo took a step forward into the area where Wu Changkong had disappeared, he was immediately enveloped by a strange energy.
Su Mo was not unfamiliar with this strange energy; on the contrary, he was quite familiar with it. He felt the same way when he first used the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Enveloped in this strange energy, a white light flashed and Su Mo's figure vanished instantly.
Tang Wulin and the others looked at Su Mo, who had suddenly disappeared, and then mustered their courage to walk up to him one by one.
"Is this the space that the Tang Sect created for the Hall of Heroes?"
Upon being teleported here, Su Mo stared at the deep blue ceiling and floor before her, a hint of amazement flashing across her face.
The development of space in the Douluo Continent region has far exceeded their expectations.
