Six years passed. Under the mental power support of the Divine Realm, the Douluo Continent gradually stabilized. The doomsday scenes no longer existed, as if restoring its past tranquility.
In the center of the Yin-Yang Love Questioning Valley ruins, a spatial exit tore open. Huo Yuhao stepped out with his family in tow.
Returning to the continent again, Huo Yuhao and his wives all felt as if a lifetime had passed. The rich life aura made them unable to help but moan softly.
Huo Yuhao's children looked timidly at everything around them. The sudden change in cognition made it a bit difficult for them to adapt for a moment.
Huo Yunhan bravely stood in front of his younger siblings. He had already awakened his martial soul; on the outside, he definitely had to protect his younger siblings well.
"Huo Yuhao, how is your situation now?" As soon as the group came out of the Dragon Realm, the projection of the God of Destruction descended onto the Douluo plane at the first moment, suddenly appearing in front of everyone.
"Thank you for your concern, God King. I no longer have any major issues," Huo Yuhao bowed to him and replied.
"You kid are quite the romantic." The Destruction God King quickly noticed the wives and children behind Huo Yuhao and couldn't help but tease, "In six years' time, you directly produced a whole family."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Destruction God King thought these women would cast resentful little glances at Huo Yuhao, but they surprisingly had no reaction at all.
Joke's on him, the current Huo Yuhao was simply not someone one or two women could handle...
"Lord God King, let's get back to the main topic." Huo Yuhao was in no mood to joke with him. Not to mention that the Douluo Continent was currently facing a crisis, Gu Yuena was also still waiting to absorb energy to initiate the Dragon God inheritance.
"I can give you the accurate interstellar coordinates right now. How do you plan to get there?" The God of Destruction frowned and said, "On the current Douluo Continent, there doesn't seem to be any interstellar vehicle capable of carrying humans to complete travel over such a distance."
Indeed, with the technological research capabilities of the Douluo natives, even after another ten thousand years, they would only just develop things like battle armors and mechas. To manufacture interstellar travel vehicles, it would take at least twenty thousand years.
Even if Huo Yuhao had ten thousand Kong Demings to help, he could not build a sci-fi vehicle like an interstellar spaceship in this era.
"Hehe, far away on the horizon, yet right before your eyes," Huo Yuhao said, pretending to be mysterious.
However, the God of Destruction was no fool either. He immediately guessed Huo Yuhao's intention: "You plan to separate the Dragon Graveyard from the Douluo Continent?"
The group of wives were somewhat puzzled. In their view, Huo Yuhao was originally supposed to rely on the power of the Divine Realm for interstellar travel.
"This small world of the Dragon Graveyard is the best spaceship," Huo Yuhao answered.
That's right. In the original timeline during the Dragon King Legend era, Gu Yuena took away the Dragon God Core, one of the two great Super Divine Tools of the Dragon Graveyard, causing the Dragon Realm to become unstable. It independently traveled through the starry sky to the Longma Galaxy, descended onto Draco Star, integrated with Draco Star, and absorbed enough life energy from Draco Star through the Dragon Ascension Pillar.
The result was that the Dragon Clan had their tombs directly dug up by the local natives, rendering Tang Wulin's thousand days of painstaking effort a waste. Even the other Super Divine Tool, the Dragon Ascension Pillar, was dug out by a group of dragon-mutated creatures to be used as a ceremonial altar.
Now, not only was the Silver Dragon King holding down the fort in the Dragon Realm, but the two great Super Divine Tools were also gathered together. As long as he had the accurate cosmic coordinates, Huo Yuhao could pilot the Dragon Realm to the Longma twin stars and devour the Abyssal Plane there.
Draco Star's environment was excellent, completely suitable for human survival. The oxygen content in the air was a hundred times higher than that of the current Douluo Continent, and the life energy level was extremely strong. The rich life aura was not inferior in the slightest to the bottom of the Lake of Life. That is to say, it could perfectly become an administrative planet for humanity in the future.
As for how long it would take for a small world like the Dragon Graveyard to travel from the Douluo star system to the Longma Galaxy, Huo Yuhao couldn't guarantee it. But with the Divine Realm lending a hand, this time could be infinitely shortened.
This interstellar voyage was similarly fraught with crises, so Huo Yuhao did not intend to bring any relatives or friends along.
"As you said, I did indeed discover that so-called Crimson Mother in the Longma Galaxy. She is very cunning. The moment she sensed this seat's aura, she concealed her tracks." The God of Destruction continued, "The Longma Galaxy is extremely far from the Douluo star system. With the mental power stored by the Divine Realm to date, we can only allocate the quota for your one-way trip; otherwise, we will be powerless to deal with the future space-time turbulence."
"In that case, thank you very much, Lord God King." Huo Yuhao thanked him repeatedly. For the God of Destruction to do this was already a huge favor. Originally, he had even prepared to spend a hundred years completing the interstellar voyage.
"When do you plan to depart?" the God of Destruction asked.
"Give me three days to prepare." Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and made his decision.
"Alright, then handle it as you see fit." The God of Destruction stopped wasting words. After throwing two clusters of light to Huo Yuhao, he withdrew his projection.
"Let's go. We'll head back to Heaven Dou first to take a look." Huo Yuhao took out the Plane Core. His application of spatial shifting was already quite mature now. With just one spatial jump, he could accurately arrive at any location on the continent.
Huo Yunhan and the group of children were all very curious about the Plane Core in Huo Yuhao's hand. For a time, dozens of pairs of small eyes filled with the desire to explore fixed uniformly on the flickering Plane Core.
"Destination, Heaven Dou City. Let's go!"
Silver light, symbolizing the spatial element, enveloped the entire group—
The former Heavenly Soul Empire, the Heavenly Soul Republic, Heaven Dou City.
Marshal Evil Dragon had just returned to his home base with his son and daughter-in-law when he received the news of the arrival of Huo Yuhao and his group.
"So fast?" Xie Huanyue was stunned. After the banquet ended, they had traveled overnight to return to Heaven Dou. As a result, the moment their front feet stepped into Heaven Dou City, Huo Yuhao and his wives and children arrived at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace right on their heels.
However, he quickly guessed something and took the lead, rushing towards the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Huo Yuhao was already waiting there with his wives and children. Seeing Xie Huanyue flying over, the two brothers merely exchanged a look to understand the message each other was expressing.
"When are you leaving?" Xie Huanyue asked aloud as soon as he landed.
"In three days." Huo Yuhao did not hide it.
"Do you want me to go?" Xie Huanyue asked.
Huo Yuhao shook his head. For some reason, he had always had an ominous premonition these past few years. This premonition came from the destiny perception he obtained through his contract with Die Qiu. It was very likely that something major would happen after he left the continent.
This couldn't help but remind him of the words Tang San said when he killed him six years ago—
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you.
"Don't worry. With me here on the Douluo Continent, nothing will happen," Jialin said. As long as deities didn't appear, as the Fire Dragon King, she was naturally the number one powerhouse on the continent.
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and still took out the several god position inheritances he had previously collected from the original Shrek Seven Devils. In addition to these, there were also the Emotion God inheritance and the God of Destruction inheritance given to him by the God of Destruction.
After the turmoil in the Divine Realm ended, Rong Nianbing and Zhou Weiqing, who had openly stood on Tang San's side, were purged by the God of Destruction and forced to surrender their god positions. Meanwhile, the Seven Elemental Gods switched sides at the speed of light and became subordinates of the Goddess of Life.
"The Emotion God, God of Destruction, Sea God, God of War, God of Speed, Food God, and the Nine-Color Goddess, plus Dong'er's God of Love, and Xiao Tao's Phoenix God." Huo Yuhao looked at the several clusters of light in his hands and said in a deep voice, "As long as your cultivation is sufficient, when a crisis arrives, do not hesitate. Immediately choose a suitable person to inherit the god position."
The current Douluo Continent was connected to the Douluo Divine Realm through the mental power channel, meaning it was protected by several God Kings. Even so, that uneasy premonition still existed.
"How about we go with you?" Zhongli Yu said reluctantly. "That way, you perhaps won't have to worry about our safety."
"I just had that idea as well, but if we do that, that uneasy premonition becomes even stronger." Huo Yuhao shook his head and rejected this idea. "Yu'er, your martial soul is suitable to inherit the Asura God. If a crisis arrives, do not have any hesitation. Find the Destruction God King immediately and ask him to hand over the Seed of Asura and the Super Divine Tool Asura Sword to you."
"The Asura God..." Zhongli Yu opened her rosy little mouth. "But once we become gods, we will have to ascend to the Divine Realm..."
Among them, Ma Xiaotao, who had already become a god, had the most say in this. After she left the Dragon Realm and returned to the continent, that sense of repulsion from the universe grew stronger and stronger.
If a deity stayed in the mortal realm for a long time, their divine power could not be replenished, and they would eventually perish.
"Therefore, unless it is a last resort, do not become a god." Bibi Dong took over the conversation. "Including the God of Love inheritance I accepted, it has also reached the final step."
"Anyway, let's leave it at this for now. I will use these three days to condense a divine thought clone equivalent to my true body's spiritual realm, just in case." Huo Yuhao interrupted everyone's words. "I am not sure what exactly will happen next. It's also possible that the space-time turbulence will arrive early and sweep away the Douluo Continent along with it. You all need to cooperate with the Divine Realm and make ample preparations to respond."
"In that case, I really have to take a trip to the Divine Realm," Ma Xiaotao sighed emotionally.
"Alright. Leave the control of the continental situation to me. It's also time to clean up the chaotic situation. An absolutely obedient army is necessary," Ju Zi suggested.
"That's great! I'll go with you to slaughter cities!" Zhongli Yu moved closer with a grin.
Wu Feng also raised her hand: "Then Yun'er and I will follow Sister Ju Zi to oversee the supply lines. After Yun'er's martial soul evolved into the Emerald Qingluan, her speed is unmatched in the world!"
"If there really is a major crisis next, the entire continent must twist into a single rope. I will take on the role of leader for your Heavenly Soul Republic." With a single sentence, Bibi Dong directly completed the transfer of power for the Heavenly Soul Republic. They completely had this ability now.
"No problem. I'll have my father pass the throne to you shortly," Xie Huanyue said casually.
"Then I will continue to be responsible for the administrative management of this country," Xian Lin'er smiled.
"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and I will handle the finances," Ning Tian volunteered.
Zhang Lexuan: "I will continue to handle ideological propaganda. Some inner courtyard graduates who are on good terms with me will also support me."
Meng Hongchen: "Then I'll call my brother, my grandpa, Elder Kong, and the others over to vigorously develop the soul tool industry."
Cui Yajie smiled: "As for the environment and climate, it looks like my natural energy will have to make a move."
Die Qiu: "Qiu'er can enhance the destiny of the nation!"
Ghost Nana: "Leave the war intelligence sector to me."
Nan Shuishui: "The Earth Dragon Gate will unite with the Body Sect to recruit as many sects with powerful foundations as possible."
Shangguan Wei'er smiled beautifully: "In that case, the integration of the underground forces sector will surely fall to my Ordinary Alliance."
Ye Guyi and Yu Mengdi exchanged a glance: "We of the Angel lineage will operate the law enforcement side."
"..."
Watching the women complete the governance distribution of a nation in an instant, Huo Yuhao finally reacted. Good heavens, his women could actually rule a country all by themselves!
Every single one of them was a talent...
"Mom and the others are so amazing!" Huo Yunhan was somewhat excited, his small face flushed red, and he clenched his tiny fists.
Huo Yuhao looked at his son and immediately made a major decision.
That was to transfer the Plane Core and the Douluo destiny blessing to his son.
The plane's destiny blessing, which Tang San had once snatched from him, had long been taken back by Die Qiu using Gungnir. Now, it was time to pass it on to his own descendant.
Possessing the plane's blessing, Huo Yunhan, as the eldest legitimate son, would definitely be able to improve his cultivation at the fastest speed.
"Yunhan, Dad is going on a long journey. I'm leaving Mom and your aunties to you to protect, can you do that?" Huo Yuhao patted Huo Yunhan's small head and transferred the destiny blessing onto his son.
"Don't worry, Dad. Yunhan will protect Mom and the aunties well." Huo Yunhan nodded vigorously. "Not just Mom and the aunties, I will take good care of my younger siblings too!"
"Good boy, Yunhan." Huo Yuhao kissed his son on the forehead, then took out the Dragon Clan Law Knife, the Dragon Slaying Knife.
"Use this knife to protect everyone you care about..."
The news of a massive reshuffle of officials at all levels in the Heavenly Soul Republic quickly spread. There was only one person capable of doing such a thing, and that was Huo Yuhao, who supported this nation.
When Marshal Evil Dragon transferred supreme power to Bibi Dong, there was even a hint of relief.
He was originally a military commander. Managing a country was not his specialty at all; otherwise, the Republic wouldn't have shown zero signs of improvement over these years.
As the saying goes, conquering an empire is easy, but defending it is hard. Many years ago, when he raised an army against the Heavenly Soul Empire, he probably didn't expect that he would actually be able to completely overthrow the Heavenly Soul regime.
That very night, those partners who had once shared trials and tribulations with Huo Yuhao all set off one by one, traveling overnight to Heavenly Soul. They had a premonition that Huo Yuhao needed their help now.
By the second night, the Heavenly Soul Republic had gained the accession of several massive forces. After Bibi Dong and Marshal Evil Dragon firmly rejected all dissenting views, they established the first major national alliance on the Douluo Continent centered around the common people, in order to commemorate that great kingdom from six million years ago.
—The Eden People's Governing Alliance.
The newly drafted flag of the alliance impressively used Huo Yuhao's two artifacts as its symbol: the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe and the Angelic Holy Sword crossed together.
On the third day, when Huo Yuhao ended his seclusion and saw these designs, he was completely dumbfounded.
Good heavens! Good job, Qiu'er... Huo Yuhao was instantly somewhat exasperated and amused.
"How are your preparations going?" The Snow Empress also arrived with Beast God Di Tian and a group of fierce beasts.
After Huo Yuhao's true body left, in order to guarantee the safety of his wives, children, and group of partners, an absolutely powerful alliance had to be established. At this time, the stance of the soul beast lineage led by Beast God Di Tian would also be crucial.
In the room, two Huo Yuhaos stood side by side. One of them was naturally the divine thought clone he had just condensed, used to constantly keep an eye on the upcoming major changes on the Douluo Continent.
"The divine thought clone has already been condensed." Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded. He stood up and cupped his fists towards Di Tian and the other fierce beasts: "Senior Di Tian, after Yuena and I leave Douluo, I ask that you please take good care of my wives and children."
"That is a given." Di Tian waved his hand. "Also, the few of us have thought it over."
"Hmm?" Huo Yuhao was puzzled.
"I, along with Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Xiong Jun, and Chi Wang, all plan to form Soul Spirit contracts with your people. Perhaps only this can allow us to take another step forward." Di Tian sighed and looked somewhat enviously at the Snow Empress beside him.
Now, he was completely no match for the Snow Empress anymore, even if he used the Dragon God Claw...
The Soul Spirit system co-developed by Electrolux and Huo Yuhao held an almost fatal attraction for soul beasts.
Not only did they not have to sacrifice their lives, but they could also progress and grow together with humans, incidentally solving the problem of soul rings and soul bones required for human soul masters' advancement.
The perfected Soul Spirit contract could be said to be a gospel for the entire Douluo Continent. The contributions Huo Yuhao made to this were enough for his name to be remembered for a hundred generations.
"This is all due to Teacher's merit." Huo Yuhao scratched his head. He merely provided Electrolux with enough research costs. The specific architecture of the Soul Spirit system was basically completed independently by Elder Yi alone.
"In a while, the few of us will hold down the fort for your alliance. When the time comes, don't forget to treat this old bear to some wine!" Xiong Jun didn't treat himself as an outsider in the slightest, speaking carelessly.
"That is a given," Huo Yuhao chuckled.
"Then let's go out. Everyone should be getting anxious from waiting," the Snow Empress smiled and took Huo Yuhao's hand.
"Mmhmm." Huo Yuhao knew well that he was about to embark on his journey, and it was absolutely necessary for him to personally make an appearance to intimidate the continent one last time.
Just as Huo Yuhao walked out of his seclusion room, the melodious anthem of the new national alliance echoed continuously above Heaven Dou—
"Our alliance is unbreakable, all living beings are equal, and the Great Demon King shall stand tall and unyielding! Celebrate the free and powerful Eden Alliance, born relying on the common people..."
