When Mu Ye saw Snow Empress, his mind went blank.
Universe, brain, formula JPG.
The brain of the Sect Master of the Body Sect crashed.
Why is Snow Empress here? Has she become Yuhao's spirit soul?
How is that possible!
The concept of a spirit soul flashed through Mu Ye's mind but was quickly dismissed.
Although Snow Empress's current form is indeed an energy body, it's different from a spirit soul, it seems to be condensed from spiritual power.
Has her spiritual power already reached the Divine Origin Realm? Is this what's called divine consciousness?
Mu Ye swallowed hard, his heart uneasy as he looked at Snow Empress.
No, that's not the important part. The most crucial thing is, what would she think of him after seeing him torment Huo Yuhao in front of her?
Would the legendary Three Absolute Techniques of Snow Empress be used on him?
Seeing Snow Empress's faintly amused gaze, Mu Ye felt a cold sweat break out, a chill rising in his heart.
"Sect Master Mu Ye, I asked Yuhao to take this item," Snow Empress said with a smile. "Could you give me some time to study it?"
"Of course."
Mu Ye was stunned for a moment, then felt as if he'd been granted a pardon. He quickly turned and left the area, only letting out a long breath of relief once he was out of Snow Empress's sight, wiping away the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead.
Snow Empress is really good to Yuhao, leaving a trace of divine consciousness to protect him. But it's also quite terrifying.
However, upon further thought, Mu Ye couldn't help but laugh.
This is good too. He won't have to worry too much about Yuhao's safety.
---
Watching Mu Ye leave, Snow Empress turned her gaze to the blue crystal Huo Yuhao had placed on the ground, her brows slightly furrowed.
But she didn't say anything, silently standing guard beside Huo Yuhao, waiting for him to recover.
Huo Yuhao consumed the dishes Mu Ye had prepared in advance, such as the Purple Crystal Dragon Pearl, and began meditating using his innate secret technique. The accumulated energy from recent times burst forth, and his aura rose once again, reaching level 38.
Huo Yuhao didn't pay attention to the breakthrough in his soul power. After recovering, he used his domain to interfere with the environment, and the figures of Elder Yi and the others appeared outside, all looking at the blue crystal.
After a while, Elder Yi spoke:
"It's both an opportunity and a calamity."
Snow Empress and Huo Yuhao nodded in unison, "Indeed."
Seeing that the three of them seemed to have understood something, Tianmeng and Bing Bing exchanged glances.
It felt so uncomfortable being the only ones whose realms couldn't keep up.
At this moment, Elder Yi took the initiative to explain, "This can be considered a fragment of a god's seat, or a fragment of a divine core. The reason it appears ordinary is simply because it hasn't been activated by divine power. To uncover its true nature, it requires a strong individual who understands the laws of the sea to come into contact with it, or someone with Divine Origin Realm power or divine power."
It's not a fragment of divine power, but a fragment of a god's seat.
Just like the Golden Dragon King's divine core, which contains the destructive divine core, this crystal is a fragment of the Sea God's divine core.
Huo Yuhao had initially wondered if Tang San had lost his mind and thrown a treasure of the Sea God Pavilion here, but that clearly wasn't the case.
"A god's seat? A divine core?"
Tianmeng's eyes lit up, "If Yuhao collects all these fragments, could he become the Sea God?"
Sea God Huo Yuhao vs. Asura God Tang San, Tianmeng felt like he'd wake up laughing every day from such a dream.
"Theoretically, yes, but in practice, it's unnecessary."
Elder Yi shook his head, "After all, it's already broken. Repairing a god's seat you don't fully understand might not be much easier than creating a new one."
The authority over the sea in Douluo has already returned. As long as one can gain the recognition of the sea and the faith of the sea soul beasts, it's theoretically possible to reshape the Sea God's seat.
But Yuhao has been preparing for so long. There's no need to abandon his current plans for something so laborious and unrewarding.
"Oh, alright."
Tianmeng reluctantly retracted his fantasy and asked curiously, "Then why did you say it's a calamity?"
Huo Yuhao took over the conversation, "These fragments belong to Tang San, but he's still alive. Right now, he's the one who understands the Sea God's divine core the most. If he still retains some connection to the Sea God, then these fragments are anchors connecting him to the Douluo plane. The more complete the collection, the stronger the effect."
Perhaps he was overthinking it, but while fragments of divine power falling to Douluo Continent were one thing, fragments of a god's seat falling as well made Huo Yuhao suspect that this was a deliberate move by that person.
After all, he's the God of Wisdom. He can't be underestimated.
Caution is necessary.
"Anchors?" Tianmeng took a step back, pointing at the blue crystal, "Yuhao, are you saying this thing can connect to Tang San in the God Realm?"
Snow Empress glanced at him and explained, "I can use spatial power to communicate with Yuhao remotely. If a god has an anchor, it's not impossible for them to establish a connection with Douluo. Not to mention, this is a fragment of a divine core, nothing connects to a god more strongly than this."
She also suspected that this was Tang San's doing. Since he's lost his god's seat, it must serve some purpose.
People tend to make the most of what they have.
Caution is necessary.
Hearing this, Tianmeng's expression turned serious as he looked toward the depths of the ocean, "Should we leave this place immediately?"
Earlier, they had been too focused on the good news, almost forgetting that the owner of the god's seat wasn't dead. If his things fell to Douluo Continent, there might indeed be some backup plan.
Learn from Yuhao, caution is necessary.
"…"
Elder Yi spoke up, somewhat exasperated, "There's no need to worry so much. The connection is bidirectional. This side would also need to provide sufficient power to establish the connection. Moreover, it's a broken god's seat that no longer contains the Sea God's divine power. Its effects are limited, it would only be useful if all the fragments were gathered."
Even if someone collected these fragments, since Tang San has already abandoned his god's seat, his true body is likely very weak. He might not have the strength to do something like this in the short term.
Besides, the Sea God's seat is a faith-based god, born from Douluo, with authority derived from the Douluo Continent. After its destruction, it's possible for the authority to return to the Douluo Continent.
These guys have been spending too much time with Yuhao, they've become overly cautious.
Hearing this, Tianmeng and Bing Bing immediately relaxed. The former complained, "Don't scare me like that. So, for Yuhao, this thing is just a useless burden? No benefits, only drawbacks?"
"No," Elder Yi shook his head and smiled, "Your Douluo god's seats are like inherited knowledge, the divine core contains a lot of information. Even if we don't reassemble it into the Sea God's seat, I can still make it benefit Yuhao."
As Elder Yi spoke, a strand of divine consciousness instantly landed on the blue crystal, and a faint light began to glow from it.
Then, an image appeared before everyone.
In the endless ocean, a phantom stood on the water's surface, holding the Sea God's Trident. He began to demonstrate a unique trident technique, and for a moment, the trident in his hand seemed to disappear, replaced by an indescribable sense of ethereality and intangibility.
A faint mist of light spread, and within that mist, every point seemed to have its own story, its own time and space.
An ethereal ripple swept through in an instant, even affecting the space-time outside the image. Huo Yuhao felt as if he had experienced a thousand years of baptism, vanishing in the river of time… There was no pain, no sensation of the trident, only time flowing quietly like a gentle stream.
