The Yin-Yang Complement Three Soul Cores, this could be described as a unique existence in the history of the Douluo Continent. Huo Yuhao clearly knew that these three soul cores condensed his countless sweat, hardships, and fortuitous encounters. They were like three dazzling stars, emitting endless light and power within his body.
Power slowly flowed within his body, from his limbs and bones to every inch of his skin, every cell seemed to be cheering and jumping for joy, heartily absorbing this powerful energy. He could clearly feel his body becoming increasingly tough, his bones as hard as refined steel, his muscles full of infinite explosive power, and his meridians becoming broader and unobstructed, able to accommodate and transmit even more majestic soul power.
Feeling the immense power brought by the Yin-Yang Complement Three Soul Cores, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but let out a moan. No wonder Di Tian could rely on his own strength to rival Niu Tian who had become a divine beast; the gap was perhaps reflected right here.
Glancing at the dragon cocoon glowing with nine-colored light, Huo Yuhao had mixed feelings. Gu Yuena had helped him too, too much...
No matter what, he had to help her complete the inheritance of the Dragon God.
Even without using those special methods, Huo Yuhao was confident in contending with some Divine Officers of the Divine Realm. This was the confidence brought by the three soul cores!
Even before Tang San became a god, he probably ascended as a Co-resonance Double Soul Core Ultimate Douluo. Otherwise, he wouldn't have struggled so much in the Battle of Twin Gods against Twin Gods.
His gains from this closed-door cultivation were not small at all. Not only did he complete the fusion of two divine tools and god positions, but he also successfully formed the Yin-Yang Complement Three Soul Cores.
Of course, the time spent on this was also quite lengthy...
After an unknown amount of time, a shocking cosmic painting slowly appeared in his field of vision—
"This, this is..."
The first thing to catch his eye was the massive stellar system of the galaxy.
A huge orange star acted like the ruler of the universe, emitting a scorching and dazzling light. Its mass was extremely massive, and its gravity was like an invisible giant hand, firmly controlling the surrounding planets.
Around the star, planets orbited orderly along their respective paths. Among them, a planet covered by blue oceans and green vegetation was particularly eye-catching. On the surface of the planet, huge mountain ranges coiled like giant dragons. Between the mountain ranges were vast plains and deep canyons. In the ocean, huge sea beasts occasionally leaped out of the water. Their bodies were even larger than the dragons in the Dragon Valley, flashing with mysterious lights, seemingly containing endless power.
Not far away, another planet emitted a dark red light, its surface covered with scorching magma rivers. Huge craters continuously erupted with flames and thick smoke, dyeing the entire sky of the planet a fiery red. At the edges of the magma rivers grew a peculiar red crystal plant. They survived tenaciously in the high temperatures, absorbing the energy in the magma, providing unique resources for the Tianma race.
Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly became excited...
The Longma Galaxy, or rather, the Tianma Galaxy, had arrived!
—
Compared to the Ultimate Douluo era twenty thousand years later, the Tianma Twin Stars, which had not yet undergone the Dragon Mutation, were still in their primitive stage.
Perhaps precisely because it was in its primitive stage, the life force of this planet was astonishingly massive. Even that large piece of Life Gold that Gu Yuena used to heal her injuries could not compare to it.
No wonder the Dragon Valley minor world in the original timeline chose this place as its development ground. No wonder it later possessed that large group of Super God-tier Dragon Knights.
A planet's energy foundation determines the upper limit of the strength of the living beings born on it.
"Brother Hao, this planet is too wonderful!" The Demon Tree King Soul Spirit poked its head out from Huo Yuhao's shoulder, exclaiming sincerely.
"How about it, this place is not bad, right? I didn't lie to you," Huo Yuhao chuckled. "Now it's time for you to exert your greatest effect."
"You mean..." The Demon Tree King's eyes lit up, immediately understanding Huo Yuhao's intention.
"Right, you will become the Seed of Life for these Twin Stars," Huo Yuhao nodded. "It just so happens that these Twin Stars have yet to birth any highly intelligent lifeforms, so naturally, we won't have the psychological burden of plundering resources."
"The laws of the universe are fundamentally survival of the fittest and might makes right," the Ice Empress said proudly.
"Alright! Then I will stay on this planet from now on!" The Demon Tree King appeared extremely excited. The Tianma Twin Stars possessed such massive life energy, enough to support it in becoming a plant-type Soul Spirit above the God level in one fell swoop.
Moreover, through the nutrient-absorbing characteristics of plant types, most of the life energy would enter the Dragon Valley through the bond between it and Huo Yuhao.
Under Huo Yuhao's control, the Dragon Valley minor world broke through the atmosphere of the Twin Stars and slowly landed in a canyon.
Just after stepping out of the Dragon Realm, Huo Yuhao could feel a life aura that was almost condensed into substance rushing against his face, making him let out an involuntary moan.
"Leave the life core to me," the Demon Tree King darted out from Huo Yuhao's body and bowed slightly to Huo Yuhao.
"Remember to force Tian Yang out," Huo Yuhao smiled.
All along, whether it was the characteristics of a martial soul or a plant-type soul beast, the help the Demon Tree King brought to Huo Yuhao had been immense.
The Demon Tree King had once harmed Huo Yuhao's woman, Zhongli Yu, and it had made massive compensations for this. Huo Yuhao was never a petty person, so the two had become close friends to this day.
The Demon Tree King Soul Spirit taking its origin into the Tianma Twin Stars meant that it would leave Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness and be reborn here.
All of the Demon Tree King's abilities had already been replaced by the World Tree. As Huo Yuhao gradually became stronger, it also felt its role diminishing. Here was the last place it could exert its use.
"Brother Hao, take care," the Demon Tree King's eyes dimmed slightly as it suddenly said.
"You too."
"Alright, what are you two grown men dawdling here for?" the Ice Empress interrupted crossly.
"Hehe, Ice Empress, we part ways here," the Demon Tree King chuckled, and carrying its seed of origin, it plunged headfirst into the ground and disappeared.
With the departure of the Demon Tree King, both Huo Yuhao and the Ice Empress fell into silence at the first moment.
Once upon a time, Bibi Dong, Electrolux, the Demon Tree King, the Ice Empress, and the deceased Skydream Iceworm crowded together in Huo Yuhao's weak sea of consciousness, following this prophetic boy step by step to the peak.
Later, Skydream Iceworm burned itself, Bibi Dong was reborn, and only the three of them were left in that sea of consciousness. Electrolux spent most of his time slumbering. It could be said that in the vast sea of consciousness, only the Ice Empress was left now.
Huo Yuhao could understand the Ice Empress's feelings. The rapidly advancing Thunder Hell Vine did not possess much intelligence. From now on, the Ice Empress would probably be lonely for quite a while.
"Get ready. If Tian Yang comes out in a bit, we might have to go through a fierce battle."
Tian Yang was also close to the level of a Half-Step God King, just not adept at combat. In the original timeline, due to her powers being sealed jointly by the Super God-tier powerhouses of the Longma Twin Stars, her hard-earned accumulations were destroyed, leading to a certain degree of regression.
As the life core and the Lord of the Plane, she possessed a special power, able to naturally absorb various energies in the universe.
Any energy could be absorbed by Tian Yang and converted into a part of herself. The energy converted out was pure life energy, capable of creating life.
Now, without the so-called Super God-tier Dragon Knights, Long Tianyang was naturally just called Tian Yang. Her overall strength was definitely at its peak as well...
Huo Yuhao returned to the Dragon Realm, secured the Dragon Ascension Pillar, and then controlled the roots of the World Tree to pierce through the land of the Dragon Realm and take root on the Tianma Twin Stars.
After doing all this, Huo Yuhao set the cosmic coordinates of the Tianma Twin Stars and began to initiate communication with the Douluo Divine Realm, which was hundreds of millions of light-years away.
The reason he was able to smoothly arrive at the Tianma Twin Stars was actually due to the help of the Divine Realm. As long as multiple spatial wormholes were opened, the return trip would naturally not take as long.
At this time, the Dragon Realm began to absorb the massive nutrients of the Tianma Twin Stars, feeding them back to the light cocoon formed by Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena. This caused her aura to begin to fluctuate, and nine-colored light flowed over the light cocoon.
Of course, Huo Yuhao couldn't drain the pond to catch the fish. The massive energy required by the Dragon God could indeed be entirely provided by the Tianma Twin Stars, but if that happened, the Tianma Twin Stars would inevitably become dead stars due to excessive depletion, which was not what Huo Yuhao wanted.
The Tianma Twin Stars were interconnected and mutually dependent, capable of forming a four-dimensional space. If the four-dimensional space was further upgraded, it could reach a five-dimensional space, thereby transforming into a Divine Realm.
A Divine Realm requires continuous accumulation. Normally speaking, it is not something that a single generation can achieve. If the higher lifeforms of a plane choose to help with the accumulation, they might die upon reaching the end of their lifespan. Dimensional ascension is too difficult, and doing it peacefully is even harder.
There are peaceful ways to ascend dimensions, and there are non-peaceful ways, such as devouring lower-dimensional spaces. This is what the Crimson Mother did; she specialized in devouring to evolve a four-dimensional space. Currently, the Crimson Mother's four-dimensional space lacked a physical body and was merely an energy body, making such a dimension highly unstable. However, they possessed a stronger devouring ability and could fully control their own four-dimensional space.
The Crimson Mother was between four-dimensional and five-dimensional space, which meant she was a Half-Step God King. In terms of level, Tian Yang was very similar to her, but she was unstable, just with stronger destructive power. Once she devoured Tian Yang, the Crimson Mother might successfully ascend dimensions and create a Divine Realm.
However, the Crimson Mother didn't dare to do it easily because it was unstable. During her materialization process, she could potentially be assimilated by Tian Yang, making Tian Yang a God King.
Of course, the thought of wanting to devour Tian Yang had never changed for the Crimson Mother. But as the Crimson Mother grew stronger and stronger, her plane also became increasingly unstable, and she even had to split off a part of her body.
In the original timeline, a part of the Crimson Mother's body disappeared, leading to a silence of twenty thousand years, which roughly matched the timeline of Peerless Tang Sect. Making a comeback twenty thousand years later, her first priority was to devour Tian Yang, or at least a part of Tian Yang.

In the radiant city of technology of the Douluo Federation, the Tang Sect's research base was like a mysterious fortress of the future, hidden in the core area of the city. Here, the wisdom crystals of the top technology and soul power fusion on the Douluo Continent were gathered. And at this moment, the entire base was operating busily and orderly around an invention capable of shocking the universe—the Tang Sect Time Machine.
Lan Xuanyu stood in front of the massive cabin of the time machine, feeling mixed emotions. The shape of this time machine was like a giant water drop emitting a soft blue light. Countless flashing runes were inlaid on the streamlined shell, marks of the intertwining of soul power and technological power. The runes flashed rhythmically like breathing, as if recounting the mysteries of time. The cabin door of the time machine slowly opened, revealing the futuristic control room inside. Various complex instruments and flashing screens were arranged within, faintly emitting powerful and mysterious energy fluctuations.
"Xuanyu, this time-space travel mission is arduous. The enemy we have to face is not only deceitful but also has a profound understanding of the timeline process. But we are the guardians of this space-time, and we absolutely cannot let the timeline be destroyed wantonly." Tang San's voice was calm and powerful, echoing in the spacious base like a loud bell.
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, I understand. We will definitely be able to successfully defeat the enemy and restore the stability of the timeline."
After the crowd gave a few brief exhortations, Lan Xuanyu and his wife, Tang San and Xiao Wu, Tang Wulin and his wife, Dai Yuhao and his wife, and the original Shrek Seven Devils stepped into the cabin of the time machine together. The cabin door slowly closed, emitting a slight hissing sound, isolating them from the outside world. Lan Xuanyu walked towards the control console, his fingers sliding gently across the screen, skillfully entering various commands. As the commands were entered, the energy core inside the time machine began to operate violently. The lights in the cabin instantly dimmed, leaving only the indicator lights of various instruments flashing in the darkness.
"Preparing to initiate the time travel program." Lan Xuanyu's voice rang out in the cabin through the internal communication system. Tang San and Dai Yuhao stood on either side of Lan Xuanyu respectively. They concentrated their minds, their divine power slowly circulating around them, ready at any time to respond to any unexpected situations during the travel process.
The cabin of the time machine began to vibrate violently, and the surrounding space seemed to be twisted and torn by an invisible giant hand. A huge, multi-colored time vortex slowly formed in front of the time machine. Countless lights and shadows flashed in the vortex, as if fragments of the past and future were flashing alternately. Lan Xuanyu gritted his teeth, his hands tightly gripping the control stick, and pushed it forward fiercely.
"Depart!"
The time machine rushed into the time vortex like a meteor and instantly disappeared from its spot. Within the time vortex, Lan Xuanyu and the others felt an unprecedented, wondrous sensation. Time and space seemed to have lost their original concepts; their bodies seemed to exist simultaneously in countless time nodes and spatial locations.
The surrounding lights and shadows surged past like a tide. There was the ancient Douluo Continent, with soul beasts galloping in the forest; there were the bustling cities of the Douluo Federation, with interstellar warships shuttling through space; and there were also bizarre world scenes they had never seen before.
"Stay calm, do not let the power of time interfere with your minds," Dai Yuhao shouted loudly. His voice acted like a sea-calming divine needle, allowing everyone to quickly steady their minds. They concentrated their spirits, relying on their powerful divine power and divine thought to resist the erosion of the time vortex.
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath, readjusted his condition, and continued to pilot the time machine, advancing arduously through the time vortex, marching firmly towards the target timeline...
