As for the Ma Hongjun from Douluo Dalu 2, his heart was currently filled with shock and could not find peace.
Although he had caught a general glimpse of the people around Leon from the Divine Realm earlier, that was only a projection after all.
Now that he was seeing this group of people around Leon in person, Ma Hongjun felt it was incredible—it was simply too inconceivable.
He didn't recognize Leon.
But Leon's side actually included Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Liu Erlong, Tang Yuehua, Bo Saixi, as well as Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
One must know that among these people, some he was familiar with, some he recognized, some had been killed by Tang San, some had already ascended to the Divine Realm, and even more were Soul Masters who had died naturally on the Douluo Continent.
Among them, Bai Chenxiang looked much younger than when he had first met her.
At this moment, seeing so many familiar faces, Ma Hongjun felt as if he were dreaming of the past. Although not that many years might have passed in the Divine Realm, ten thousand years had already gone by on the Douluo Continent.
Ten thousand years—the world had changed beyond recognition.
Ma Hongjun's heart was filled with complex emotions. He even felt a bit of regret; if he had known this day would come, he would rather not have become the Phoenix God and instead lived out his Life with Bai Chenxiang in the Lower Realm, through birth, aging, sickness, and death.
Over here.
Leon looked back and shouted to Wang Donger, "Hey... Wang Donger, go pick up some more firewood from the surrounding area."
"Huh?"
Wang Donger looked bewildered. Why did they still need to pick up firewood?
Ma Xiaotao stood up at this time and said, "Donger, I'll go with you."
Wang Donger was also completely confused, but seeing Ma Xiaotao coming to accompany her, they walked together into the nearby woods.
"Sister Xiao Tao, why did Leon want me to pick up firewood out of the blue?"
[Ma Xiaotao: You'll find out soon. Someone is looking for you.]
Eh?
Seeing Ma Xiaotao specifically reply to her in the group chat, Wang Donger became even more curious.
[Bibi Dong: I've sensed it.]
[Gu Yuena 1: There is a God around us; I discovered it this afternoon.]
[Number Nine: Shrek Seven Devils?]
[Ning Rongrong: It's the Phoenix God Ma Hongjun. He should have come down from the Divine Realm, planning to secretly take Wang Donger back to the Divine Realm.]
[Wang Donger: What?]
Seeing the messages in the group, Wang Donger looked at Ma Xiaotao with an even more dazed expression.
Ma Xiaotao gave a slight nod.
[Dugu Yan: It's truly a pity that Yu Xiaogang didn't become a god!]
[Number Nine: Become a f*cking god!]
[Zhu Zhuqing: Let me explain to Everyone, Number Nine means Yu Xiaogang can become a "fart god", not that becoming a god is a "fart".]
[Everyone: OMG!]
At the same time.
Divine Realm of Douluo World 2.
The group including God King Tang San and Xiao Wu were all watching all of this through a special projection.
Except... God King Tang San's current state was a bit injured. Helping Ma Hongjun descend to the Lower Realm had caused him to be beaten half to death by Destruction.
Ning Rongrong from Douluo Dalu 2 glanced at the nervous Xiao Wu and comforted her softly, "Xiao Wu, don't worry! Fatty will definitely be able to bring Little Wutong back."
Xiao Wu nodded gently.
God King Tang San said with a dark expression, "Bring Little Wutong back first. We'll settle these scores with that bastard slowly later."
Oscar from Douluo Dalu 2 said with a conflicted face, "Third Brother, what do you think is going on with this Leon and the people around him?"
"They are impersonating Xiao Wu, Rongrong, and the others, and now they're even impersonating people like Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Bo Saixi. Could it be that Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue didn't actually die back then?"
Hearing this, God King Tang San's brow furrowed instantly.
Zhu Zhuqing from Douluo Dalu 2 pondered:
"Didn't die?"
"Could it be that Qian Renxue resurrected Bibi Dong back then? Or perhaps they received help from the First Generation Angel God and the Rakshasa God, and after being resurrected, they've been hiding on the Douluo Continent or in another world?"
Dai Mubai from Douluo Dalu 2 also analyzed, "So that Leon isn't the key; the person behind them is Bibi Dong?"
Ning Rongrong from Douluo Dalu 2 shook her head slightly, "No, they must all be fakes. Otherwise, even if Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue didn't die, why would they arrange for people to impersonate us?"
"And then there's Bo Saixi and Ah Yin..."
Suddenly, the several of them fell into silence, becoming confused as well.
However.
God King Tang San and the others thought that helping Ma Hongjun descend to the Lower Realm this time had gone quite smoothly.
Little did they know.
At this moment, Destruction and Life were also staring at the Douluo Continent and had discovered Ma Hongjun in the Lower Realm.
"Hmph!"
Destruction gave a cold laugh. "This Tang San, I was wondering why he suddenly went crazy and picked a fight with me. So this was his plan."
Life remained silent for a moment before replying in a low voice, "Let's ignore them for now. Let's wait until Ma Hongjun brings Little Wutong back first."
Destruction nodded. "Then once Ma Hongjun brings Little Wutong back, we'll go and judge them!"
By this time.
Wang Donger and Ma Xiaotao had already entered the nearby woods.
Ma Hongjun had originally thought he would have to find an opportunity to speak with Wang Donger, so seeing her come out alone, he breathed a great sigh of relief.
"Little Wutong."
Hearing the voice, Wang Donger and Ma Xiaotao looked toward the sound and saw a red-haired man.
It was precisely the Phoenix God Ma Hongjun.
Ma Xiaotao called out with a somewhat complex expression:
"An... Ancestor."
Wang Donger's brow was tightly furrowed.
Hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, the Ma Hongjun from Douluo Dalu 2 was stunned for a moment. He looked at her and asked:
"You... are you my descendant?"
Ma Xiaotao nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, my name is Ma Xiaotao."
"Ma Xiaotao?"
The Ma Hongjun from Douluo Dalu 2's expression softened, and a smile appeared on his face as he said, "You are very impressive, more impressive than I was back then."
Having said that.
The Ma Hongjun from Douluo Dalu 2 fixed his gaze on Wang Donger and asked, "Little Wutong, do you... do you know your own identity?"
Wang Donger replied with a cold face, "My name is Wang Donger, not some Little Wutong or Tang Wutong. I know you've come to the Lower Realm to take me back, but I will not go with you."
"No."
Ma Hongjun hurriedly shook his head and explained, "Little Wutong, I've come to the Lower Realm to take you back, and you should go back. Your father Tang San and mother Xiao Wu are both very worried about you."
"You've been deceived by that Leon and that fake Xiao Wu. I don't know what they've told you, but your mom and dad love you very much. Come back with me!"
"Haha."
Wang Donger couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"In the end, is it me who's been deceived, or you?"
"Ten thousand years ago when you ascended to the Divine Realm, didn't Tang San tell you that the rules of the Divine Realm cannot be broken?"
"How is it that you've broken the rules of the Divine Realm now and descended? And Tang San has repeatedly broken the rules of the Divine Realm, interfering in the matters of the Douluo Continent?"
Hearing Wang Donger's words, the Ma Hongjun from Douluo Dalu 2's face instantly tightened, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes.
[Leon: Wang Donger, there is a First-Class God of Emotion in the Divine Realm named Rong Nianbing. When Rong Nianbing became a god, he not only brought all eight of his wives to the Divine Realm, but he also brought his Master there.]
Seeing Leon's words, the smile on Wang Donger's face grew even wider. "I didn't finish what I was saying just now. Ma Hongjun, do you know the God of Emotion, Rong Nianbing?"
"Rong Nianbing brought eight wives and one Master to the Divine Realm."
Crack crack~
Instantly, Ma Hongjun clenched his fists. This time, it truly pierced his heart.
Rong Nianbing: Danger!!
