Had it been before, when this Shrek Academy in the sky had not yet appeared, Tang San naturally would not have actively exposed the planar coordinates of the Douluo Continent to the Abyss Plane.
Setting aside whether the Abyssal Sage King, the ruler of the Abyss Plane, would even have the courage to lead abyssal creatures across the Universe to invade after sensing the supreme and terrifying aura of the divinities from the Douluo Divine Realm.
Just the internal resistance within the Divine Realm alone would be enough to make Tang San hesitate for fear of unintended consequences!
The God-King of Destruction! That fellow, who spent all day draped in a purple-black cloak and possessed a radical and extremely arrogant personality, had been keeping a death grip on Tang San's every move within the God Realm Committee!
Tang San knew better than anyone that the God-King of Destruction had long found him an eyesore in secret; if he were to proactively expose a weakness, the other would definitely take the opportunity to strike at him.
At that time, he might even end up with his reputation utterly ruined.
But times have changed. Now, a bizarre phenomenon has appeared on the Douluo Continent: the connection between the Douluo Divine Realm and the Douluo Continent is being influenced by a mysterious power, gradually obscuring the Divine Realm's perception of the Douluo Continent's plane.
Not long ago, Tang San had Xiao Wu (using her power as the Asura God's scabbard) try to sense the Douluo Continent, only to find that she couldn't perceive what was happening there due to a layer of mist.
This change could be said to be quite rapid; if Tang San hadn't been constantly paying attention to the Douluo Continent, he wouldn't have discovered it.
Now, Tang San could observe the Douluo Continent through Da Ming, Tai Tan, and his parents living in seclusion there. Although the scope was much more limited, it was a good thing for Tang San's current operations.
After all, the mist only existed between the Douluo Continent and the Douluo Divine Realm; it wasn't present elsewhere, so exposing the planar coordinates of the Douluo Continent wouldn't be hindered.
The God-King of Destruction is an extremely arrogant fellow. As long as Tang San didn't say anything and the mist remained, that guy would likely never know what happened on the Douluo Continent until the very end.
Once all other connections between the Douluo Divine Realm and the Douluo Continent are severed, the Abyss Plane, which covets the life energy of the Douluo Continent's plane, will surely stop holding back.
In Tang San's deep blue eyes, a calculating light flickered.
The reason the Abyssal Sage King never dared to invade on a large scale was simply for fear of drawing a thunderous, dimension-reducing strike from a God King of the Divine Realm. Once the Divine Realm's pressure vanished, the Abyss Plane would definitely pounce on the Douluo Continent like a hungry wolf smelling blood, regardless of the cost!
And what Tang San intended to do was to stealthily throw the precise coordinates of that damned "Shrek Academy in the sky" on the Douluo Continent to the Abyss Plane at that moment!
"Let those monsters from the abyss test the background and depth of this Shrek Academy in the sky for me first!"
Tang San calculated in his heart.
If the Abyss Plane could completely raze that pirated academy and tear to pieces those fellows who dared to humiliate him by producing the complete Mysterious Heaven Skill, that would naturally be for the best!
Tang San could then remove this thorn in his side without shedding a drop of blood, and afterwards, he could descend in the guise of a savior to clean up the mess and, in passing, devour the energy of the Abyss Plane!
And if the foundation of that Shrek Academy in the sky was truly unfathomable and they repelled the Abyss Plane... then Tang San would suffer absolutely no loss!
He could also use the opportunity to thoroughly uncover the academy's trump cards!
As for how many innocent commoners on the Douluo Continent would lose their homes and families or perish in misery due to the abyssal invasion during this process?
That was simply not within Tang San's scope of consideration!
In his view, as the mastermind and a chess player controlling the global situation, he would never easily place himself in any unknown danger!
"I am now a high-and-mighty god! I am no longer that Mortal who needed to fight for his life on the Douluo Continent!"
Tang San arrogantly stroked the armrest of his divine throne.
"For a god, planning naturally comes first, and martial force second! A man of wealth does not sit under the eaves; this kind of dirty, exhausting work of fighting to the death to probe someone's depth is most suitable for those brainless fools from the abyss!"
Thinking of this, Tang San's mood, which had been furious upon discovering that his version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill was a castrated one, finally calmed down a bit.
His gaze once again fell upon Wang Dong'er through the perspective of Da Ming and Tai Tan.
Watching Wang Dong'er circulate the Mysterious Heaven Skill, it had to be said that Tang San felt a touch of jealousy in his heart; such a top-tier Cultivation Technique was actually not learned by him.
Especially when comparing Wang Dong'er's experience to his own time tempering himself on the Douluo Continent, the jealousy in Tang San's heart almost became tangible.
Wang Dong'er could obtain four ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings in her early teens, while him? He was still listening to a two-ring Spirit Master teach him how to train, and all his resources had to be acquired by himself through life-and-death struggles.
Fortunately, Tang San's jealousy didn't last long. Wang Dong'er was his daughter after all—even if she was only one-third (one being Wang Dong'er, one being Tang Wutong who lived in the Divine Realm, and one part remaining on the Emperor Auspicious Beast)—she was still his daughter.
Thinking of this, Tang San's mood improved considerably. Xiao Qi was his own flesh and blood; whatever she learned or obtained would eventually become his.
It was all just making a wedding dress for someone else. Tang San had used this reasoning before, but... seeing Wang Dong'er so easily obtain the complete Cultivation Technique that he couldn't get even after fighting with his life, he could only continue to rely on this thought to suppress the jealousy in his heart.
The Heavenly Dao is unfair!
Tang San quickly calmed down and formed another plan in his heart.
"Let this damned academy exhaust all their resources and effort to properly teach my daughter!"
"Once that girl Xiao Qi has proficiently learned and mastered the full set of Tang Sect techniques there—the enhanced Mysterious Jade Hand, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Purple Demon Eye, and so on!"
"As my daughter, she will return to the Divine Realm and to her father's side sooner or later!"
When the time comes, everything Wang Dong'er learned at that Shrek Academy in the sky—whether Tang Sect techniques or anything else—will all be given to him, to be compiled into volumes and establish his orthodoxy.
The copyright of the Tang Sect techniques in this World can only belong to him and no one else. If the Abyss Plane can take down this Shrek Academy in the sky, then... who would dare to stand up and say otherwise?
Of course, the Tang Sect techniques studied on the Douluo Continent in the future will still only be the castrated versions he passed down; Tang San would not allow anyone more powerful than himself to appear on the Douluo Continent.
In the historical records of the Douluo Continent, he must remain a legendary figure! Everyone wants to become like him, but absolutely no one can surpass him!
