A long, long time passed.
Fu Ye gently stroked Liu Erlong's slightly swollen, bluish belly, his eyes filled with pity.
'Why is this girl yelling at me?'
'I'm an Ultimate Douluo, and she's just a Soul King. Yet in the end, she's the one who got hurt.'
"Brother Fu Ye….
Liu Erlong was murmuring weakly at this point, her words trailing off.
'Well, now I've fed her completely.'
[Liu Erlong's current favorability: 100%—Favorability locked!]
'Sigh… In this world, it's hard to be human but easy to be an animal. So, of course, I'll choose the easier path—find more wives, crush more people, and live an endlessly happy life.'
Over the next half-year, Fu Ye stayed in the area and acquired five wife and concubines in total:
Ah Yin, Ah Wu, Tang Yuehua, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong.
During this time, he also gifted them full sets of ferocious beast soul bones, immortal herbs, and future god-given soul rings—after all, Titled Douluo could retain their youth forever.
Once everything was settled, he prepared for the next phase of his plan: ensuring Tang Hao would kill Qian Xunji ten years later, then finding him a wife.

A radiant light enveloped Fu Ye's body as faint spatial distortions rippled around him. In a flash of white light, he vanished.
A moment later, the glow faded—he stood in the same spot, yet the world around him seemed subtly altered.
'This must be the world ten years later.'
[System, use the Tracking Talisman to locate Tang Hao.]
[Ding! Tracking Talisman activated—exclusive positioning radar engaged!]
An illusory electronic screen materialized before Fu Ye's eyes, a red dot marking Tang Hao's location. Surprisingly, the distance between them wasn't far.
Meanwhile, deep within the Pope's Palace, Qian Xunji—as if deranged—suddenly charged toward Tang Hao's position.
…
Due to Fu Ye's earlier interference—tearing apart Qian Xunji's martial soul—Tang Hao and his brother, Tang Xiao, had fallen behind in cultivation.
Fortunately, their innate talent was formidable, and they had recently broken through to Level 90, venturing out to hunt for soul rings.
At this moment, Tang Hao was calmly absorbing a 90,000-year-old Furious Diamond Ape's soul ring.
This colossal beast stood 19 meters tall, with a ghastly green face, jagged fangs, and proficiency in mental attacks. It was a top-tier soul ring, one he'd expended considerable effort to obtain.
After all, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast is too troublesome to deal with, but a ninety-thousand-year one is much more manageable.
As his absorption neared completion, Fu Ye decided it was time to stir the pot.
Just as Tang Hao finished absorbing the soul ring, Fu Ye struck.
"Charm of Ecstasy—go!"
Anything from the system was of the highest quality. Even a ''Titled Douluo'' like Tang Hao couldn't resist its mind control.
"Hah… Finally absorbed it. I wonder what kind of soul bone this beast will give me."
Before he could finish speaking, his consciousness plunged into chaos.
Fu Ye stepped out from the bushes behind him, smirking.
Glancing at the miserably killed Furious Diamond Ape, Fu Ye sighed theatrically.
"Brother, you died so tragically."
He casually pocketed the 90,000-year right arm bone. Though useless to him, it'd make decent dog food for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
'Humans killing soul beasts for cultivation is a flaw in this world's system—but that's not my problem. As long as my wives are safe, the rest can perish for all I care.'
He had already embedded nine Black Armor Puppets (Ultimate Douluo-tier) into his wives' shadows, allowing him to monitor their exact locations at all times.
With everything secured, Fu Ye turned his attention to Tang Hao's future.
Qian Xunji's death was merely a catalyst. Fu Ye had already instructed Bibi Dong to publicly pressure the Clear Sky Sect over the incident—but to take no covert action.
'After all, in the original story, Bibi Dong claimed to hate Tang Hao—yet as the Pope, did she really not know where he was hiding?'
'The moment Tang San awakened his martial soul, she likely knew.'
'Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power? Impossible.'
Fifteen minutes later, Qian Xunji arrived.
(1,000 Words skip)
"Explosion Ring! Great Sumeru Hammer!"
''BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!''
Snap— It was over in an instant.
Under Fu Ye's control, Tang Hao unleashed three hammer strikes, obliterating the fragile Qian Xunji. The latter fled, burning his life force to return to the Spirit Hall.
Fu Ye smirked. 'This seals Tang Hao's fate.'
Noticing Tang Hao was still in decent shape, Fu Ye decided to rough him up a little more.
"BOOM!"
After beating him senseless, Fu Ye carried him away.
[System, use the Time-Space Teleportation Talisman to jump one year ahead.]
Another flash of white light—Fu Ye arrived at the new timeline.
Standing atop the clouds, he observed the world below.
The Charm of Ecstasy had worn off, and Tang Hao slowly regained his senses.
Staring at the baby in his arms, he felt an urge to strangle it.
Nearby, Caihua (Cuihua's mother in the original story) was planting vegetables. Tang Hao was utterly confused.
'How did I kill Qian Xunji with the Great Sumeru Hammer? And how did I end up with this ordinary woman?!'
Fu Ye had long implanted false memories—Qian Xunji had tried to steal his soul bone, was defeated, and Tang Hao, injured, was taken in by this widow.
Looking at the child, Tang Hao's emotions churned.
"Fine… I'll spare you for now, you little bastard."
He carried the baby away, unaware of the flicker of light in the infant's eyes.
Just like in the original story, Tang Hao retreated to Holy Soul Village. With his sect disowning him and soul masters pursuing him, he had no choice but to live in obscurity.
However…
At the village gate, he picked up another child.
Fu Ye, watching from the shadows, was baffled.
'Another kid?'
Then, the system's prompt left him stunned.
