Chapter 229: Three Consecutive Negations of the System
The perspective shifts to the Douluo God Realm in the Peerless Tang Sect timeline.
Tang San sat by his wife Xiao Wu's side, her unconscious form resting on the bed. She had been in this state for five days, and Tang San's heart was heavy with despair.
His daughter, Tang Wutong, had vanished without a trace. For the past five days, Tang San had used every means at his disposal to find her, scouring both the Douluo God Realm and the mortal world with the help of Dai Mubai, Oscar, and others.
But no matter how many times they searched, they could not detect even the faintest trace of her presence.
"What happened? How did my daughter disappear as if she never existed?" Tang San wondered, sighing heavily. His carefully laid plans were now in ruins.
He had originally intended for Tang Wutong to train in the Douluo mortal world, hoping she could grow stronger and eventually meet the emerging "new star" that seemed destined to intertwine with the Tang Sect. His goal was to secure a divine path for his daughter.
But now, her disappearance had upended everything. Tang San sighed once more before stepping out of the room.

Shortly after Tang San left, Xiao Wu stirred from her slumber. A mysterious voice echoed in her ears, startling her awake.
"Hey, little rabbit, I know where your daughter is. Do you want to know?"
Her eyes widened as she sat up abruptly. "Who are you? What do you mean? Is what you're saying true?"
The voice replied calmly, "Who I am doesn't matter. The real question is: Do you want to see your daughter again?"
"Yes! Of course I do! Please, tell me where she is!" Xiao Wu pleaded, afraid that the voice might disappear if she said the wrong thing.
"She accidentally fell into a space-time turbulence and traveled to the Douluo World over 10,000 years ago," the voice explained.
Xiao Wu froze, her face paling. "More than 10,000 years ago?!"
Her heart sank. She knew the dangers of that era, particularly with the Spirit Hall dominating the world.
"How can I find her? You must know a way!" Xiao Wu urged desperately.
The voice responded with a solution: "I can send you back 10,000 years, but there's a catch. Since your past self already exists in that timeline, you will have to merge your soul with her. This will bind you to that body and timeline, with no way to return to the present."
Xiao Wu fell silent. The price was steep. Merging her soul with her past self meant abandoning her current life with Tang San.
But as a mother, her love for her daughter outweighed all else. And perhaps going back could also grant her a chance to see her own mother again—and maybe even change her fate.
Finally, Xiao Wu nodded firmly. "I'm willing to go back. Please, help me!"
As she spoke, a black vortex materialized in front of her bed. Gritting her teeth, Xiao Wu climbed out of bed and stepped into the vortex.
The moment her figure disappeared, the vortex closed, and her aura vanished completely from the Douluo God Realm.

When Tang San sensed his wife's sudden disappearance, his heart dropped. Abandoning his duties, he rushed to her room, only to find the bed empty.
"What's going on?" he thought, panic setting in.
First his daughter, now his wife—both gone without explanation. Overcome with rage and despair, Tang San flipped a nearby table, sending it crashing to the ground.
"Whoever did this, you'll pay! I swear, I'll make you pay!" Tang San roared, his eyes burning red with fury.
Hearing the commotion, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others rushed to his side.
"Xiao San, calm down. We'll help you find Xiao Wu," Oscar said, trying to reassure him.
"Yes, we'll search for her together. Wait... where's Xiao Wu?" Dai Mubai added, noticing her absence.
"Hasn't she been resting here?" Ma Hongjun asked, looking around.
Their questions only fueled Tang San's frustration. Taking a deep breath, he explained what had happened, leaving his friends speechless.
"Xiao Wu... disappeared too?!" they exclaimed, exchanging worried glances.

The perspective shifts to Zhao Ling's timeline in the Douluo mortal world.
After five days of relentless "training" in Tang Wutong's room, Zhao Ling finally emerged, his face smug with triumph.
"Tsk, these girls thought they could handle me? With my advanced barbaric combat body, they didn't stand a chance. They threatened to 'punish' me—hah! I don't submit to anyone except the wall now!"
Grinning, Zhao Ling strolled to the courtyard's stone table and sat down. But before he could relax, the system panel popped up with a warning:
[Warning: A god-level powerhouse has entered the host's timeline from a parallel universe. The individual is identified as Xiao Wu. Please decide how to handle the situation.]
Zhao Ling froze. "What?! A god-level Xiao Wu? From another timeline?"
His eyes narrowed as he processed the information. According to the original story, even Tang San lacked the ability to cross timelines. How could Xiao Wu possibly manage such a feat?
Suspicious, Zhao Ling addressed the system.
"Hey, dog system, is this your doing? Who else could pull something like this?"
The system responded firmly:
[It wasn't me. Don't accuse me of things I didn't do. Please focus on resolving the issue.]
