Dragon King Of Apocalypse (Douluo Dalu 3) - Chapter 457

“Come on San, we’re going to be late!”

“I am coming.”

Tang San replied with a chuckle as he came down the stairs of the apartment that they were staying for the time.

Until after their son and his friend’s wedding before all of them had to go up. The decision to have it down here was made by them, with Gu Yuena suggesting they do it in Star Luo Forest.

Wrapping an arm around Xiao Wu, he began making his way out the door. As they were moving, Tang San saw the faint smile on Xiao Wu causing him to speak up.

“You seem happy?”

“Hehe, how can I not be happy? I actually get the chance to see Wulin get married.”

After their separation and being stuck in the black hole for days, Xiao Wu had gradually begun to give up.

Not on seeing her son, she would never give up on that. But on being able to send him off for his wedding, being there to give her blessing and above all.

Seeing her little boy with the love or in this case, lovers of his life.

“Yeah, all thanks to our boy. Haha, even though I promise to come to look for him, he does it himself. He really does live up to his word.”

Tang San still recalled the first time he saw his little Wulin.

It was their first official meeting between the two after the separation, yet it felt like he knew Wulin for years.

He still recalls Wulin words back then.

‘I will help you with getting out of the space you are.’

And low and behold, his son did it. He dragged them out of the black hole, keeping them safe from the black-hole reaction.

“…”

“Don’t tell me you’re still upset about his path? You know he had no choice. It was the only way to keep himself and everyone safe.”

Tang San lightly said.

When they inquire of Tang Wulin on how he was able to become a 7th-dimensional God. The white-black cat that was laying on Tang Wulin’s head, which they found out was the Universal Law.

Something that shocked not only them but everyone to the core.

Just who was the Universal Law?

The ruler of this whole universe, yet there it was laying down on his son’s head.

Making the others suspicious about the reason.

But when Tang San spoke and said that Tang Wulin was at the 10th-dimensional level, everyone fell silent.

Not out of shock, disbelief, or surprise.

But because all of their brains literally went blank for a moment.

But what made the situation even odder was how relaxed the Universal Law was around Tang Wulin.

As if he didn’t care or minded he was at the same level as it. It was then his wife spoke out, her tone was shaking as she asked how.

And then with a sigh, Tang San began to tell them.

Not just about the path he treads but how everything happened and how he became a 10th-dimensional god.

To all of them who were inside the garden, all of them could only summarize a sentence.

The story truly was an epic that would resound through all of history, till the end of the universe itself.

That was amazing, astonishing, and disbelieving the story was.

“I know, I know… But… He had to suffer so much to reach that level. His mind shattered San! He was stuffed with an infinite number of memories! For peace’s sake, he had to be sealed in the rivers of time to suffer for eternity! And even underwent that broken path!”

Xiao Wu couldn’t keep her calm, her hand was squeezing down on Tang San’s own but he didn’t show any pain.

He simply began to stroke her back while she trembled.

Xiao Wu made sure to hear everything Tang Wulin had to say. She took note of every instance where he went through unspeakable pain, misery, and hell itself.

All for what?

When she asked this question later, he simply replied with something that shocked her to the core.

“I wanted to grasp this ending… It’s as simple as that.”

What could she say to that?

Wasn’t she and her third brother the same?

Didn’t they fight a whole war just to keep each other and everyone safe, because that was their happy ending?

“I just wish he didn’t have to-,”

“Suffer? I know but look at it on the bright side. We can spend the time we have now to erase all of that suffering, don’t you think?”

“… Your right, we can… Not only that but it will also extend to all of the Wulins as well!”

Xiao Wu learned that every Tang Wulin in existence and this universe is a part of him. It wasn’t wrong to say, he was the only Tang Wulin to exist now.

Meaning she would be able to dote on every single Wulin ever! She knew all of them must have suffered, so she wanted to help them.

Just as any mother would do!

“Right, not only that. This also makes it, so our family will be safe in the future as well, no?”

Blinking her eyes, Xiao Wu had to admit Tang San was right. With Tang Wulin at the 10th-dimensional level, alongside him partnering with the Universal Law.

Just who could threaten them?

Who could break apart their home and family?

“Besides, don’t you have an eternity to dote on him?”

“Tsk, don’t get jealous when I give him more attention than you!”

“Hehe, I won’t. I know you will always come back.”

Before Xiao Wu could reply, they heard someone shouting.

“Third Brother, there you are!”

Both Tang San and Xiao Wu looked down from the path they were walking and saw their sworn brothers and sisters.

Dai Mubai stood beside Zhu Zhuqing, the former sporting a grin while the latter had a faint smile.

Oscar with Ning Rongrong, both of them smiling, and Ma Hongjun waving at him.

“You guys waited for us?”

“Of course, aren’t we all family?”

Dai Mubai said with a laugh causing Tang San to shake his head with a smile.

“Still, brother San… Isn’t your kid a bit too rude? No matter how long I tried, he wouldn’t call me uncle.”

“Sorry brother Mu, that is just how my little Wulin is. He won’t accept you instantly. He did that for Xiao Wu and he did that for his grandparents.”

Tang San’s words caused Dai Mubai to sigh while the others just laughed.

“He took after sister Wu in that aspect.”

Oscar said with a laugh causing Xiao Wu to pout.

“Can you not talk so much crap? When was I ever like that?”

They all burst into laughter while Xiao Wu huffed, not liking how they laughed as if they found something funny.

Tang San’s smile only grew more, as he saw this. He wouldn’t say out loud, but he would be ever grateful to his son, for allowing this happy ending for all of them.

#

It didn’t take long for everyone to gather at the center of the Star Dou Forest. There weren’t many people who came, only those who Tang Wulin and the others considered close.

The area itself may have been cramped.

But they were able to make it work, making a platform on the lovely lake, where some of the chairs would be placed on.

Not only that but it was lushly decorated with beautiful decorations. There were dazzling arrays of lanterns lighting up the area, forming a line on both sides of the pathway of the lake.

It gave off a colorful glow, each coming in various colors, some bright pink, others bright red or bright yellow.

Alongside that was nature around, all of them were swaying back and forth, coming alive for this special occasion.

There were also the sweet fragrance and smell of food that was behind the rows of chairs. Each of these dishes was visually captivating, even in the light, all of them attracted anyone who walks past.

Some of the guests would have glanced back at the dishes, but all of their attention was placed on the people at the front.

“He looks so handsome.”

Lang Yue whispered to Tang Ziran who was smiling as he held her. He could see her nose was red, with bits of tears leaking, at the sight of her children getting married.

Tang Ziran had to hold in a chuckle, as he looked up at the front.

Seeing his little boy getting married was one of the greatest blessings in his life.

He recalled it all, that baby we found in the snow, crying and wailing with teary eyes.

The baby grew up into a little kid who was so quiet and stoic, yet so observant to everything around him.

But was all alone, with an expression that was screaming he was expecting it.

Then that little kid grew up, turning into a man who was surrounded by countless people.

Friends he could rely on, lovers who could share his burden, and family that he can be at peace with.

“He is all grown up now…”

“Nonsense, he is still our baby boy.” Lang Yue pouted while jabbing her finger in Tang Ziran’s waist.

“Haha, of course… Even if he is all grown up or the strongest, he will always be our little boy.”

Tang Ziran smiled at Lang Yue who also smiled at him, both of them staring ahead.

Everyone had their eyes on the couple in front, all of them taking in this scene. Each with their own thoughts, yet all of them had smiles on their faces as they watched.

At the altar in front of them, were multiple figures on both sides of the altar. All of them produced smiles on their face, as they stared at each other.

On one side was Tang Wulin, dressed the same as he always was. While on the other side were his six lovers, each of them dressed in a particular wedding dress.

That matches their unique characteristic.

Tang San was in the middle, he was secretly thrilled Wulin asked him to the amusement of Xiao Wu.

As countless scenes were passing by around them, it was only showing between the seven of them.

Like a video player, it played each of his meetings with the girls.

Each special moment they shared.

Each time date they went on.

Each time they held each other.

None of them spoke during this time. They simply watched it all play between both of them. It was strange to them, how only a few years have gone by since the day they met.

Yet so many things happened, so many adventures, life, and death experiences.

And so many more, yet they all made it through all of that together.

Through all the ups and down, they relied on each other.

Through the sorrow and the misery, they place their faith in each other.

Through the good and bad, they constantly persevere for this happy ending, they all wanted it.

While one of them may have not had a happy beginning, they could now finally have their happy ending.

Unbeknownst to all of them, every one of them became something more than a girlfriend and boyfriend to each other.

They were willing to sacrifice their wellbeing and happiness for each other without a word. They were the pillar of each other’s world, that supported and kept it afloat.

Tang Wulin didn’t say anything as he moved towards the girls, each of them raising their hands with a gentle smile on their faces.

None of them said anything. What else was there to say?

How many times have they said I love you?

How many times have they proclaimed their love for each other?

Just the fact they were with each other was enough.

He placed the ring on each of their fingers. It was a ring with twelve wings and symbols inside, that shimmer with a pale light.

Xu Xiaoyan’s eyes widened at its beauty while Na’er giggled at it. Ye Xinglan blushed, as she never thought about a scene like this before yet she had a radiant smile on her face.

Mu Xi was grinning delightedly as she stared at the ring on her finger, alongside Wu Siduo who was calmly looking at it.

Gu Yuena was staring at it in a daze as if she thought before a day like this would never come. A day where she could wear the ring of the man she passionately loved with all of her beings.

Without another word, Gu Yuena pulled out one ring.

It was a ring all of them made together, each of them placing their unique characteristic on the ring.

The ring was adorned with sacred symbols of their martial spirit. While also shimmering in colorful lights, that seemed too wrapped around Tang Wulin’s hand.

He smiled gently at the ring, staring at it in both wonder and relief.

Never thinking there would be a day where he would get married.

Or able to achieve the happiness that he wanted, after everything that he did.

They looked towards each other, still not saying anything to each other.

Since words were unneeded, the oath was already made between them.

At that moment, when they willingly exchanged rings.

They gave their eternal blessing to each other, one that encompasses the seven of them.

To become eternal partners for life, inseparable through time.

They knew their marriage wasn’t traditional, but they didn’t care. All that mattered was the seven of them as they all opened their mouths.

“Do you accept,-”

Without even waiting for Tang San to finish, all of them said those two simple words, that they knew in their heart.

“I do.”
