"What happened? My head is spinning."
The dizzying sensation kept hitting him, and Huo Yuhao struggled to open his eyes, then plopped down onto the ground.
Gradually, the dizziness subsided. Huo Yuhao then widened his eyes and looked around. But he may as well not have looked, because the sight before him left him stunned.
With a "whoosh," he stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
The world before him was no longer the roof of the bakery, nor was it the myriad buildings of Shrek City.
Countless sky-blue light points floated in the air like fireflies, resembling a vast sea of stars. Beneath him was a surface of water as calm as the ocean, with a gentle, azure glow.
Above, a thick layer of clouds was impenetrable. Countless beams of light, like raindrops, fell and merged into the ground, rippling the water's surface.
In front of Huo Yuhao, a layer of mist suddenly appeared, obscuring everything, much like what one might see in a forest during the daytime.
"This is… my Sea of Consciousness?" From a god's-eye view, Huo Yuhao easily guessed where he was. Moreover, he could clearly feel the close connection between this world and himself.
But according to the established timeline, the Sea of Consciousness should have only opened after the fusion with the giant worm. How was this possible?
What was that rumbling sound before, when he was on the roof? Why did he suddenly pass out?
And what was this mist? The original story didn't mention any obscuring mist within the Sea of Consciousness.
Huo Yuhao looked at the beautiful scenery around him, a multitude of questions filling his mind.
But these questions were quickly set aside.
Because just as he was pondering, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst forth from his brow, splitting it open directly, and shooting into the mist that concealed everything.
Huo Yuhao's expression shifted. He instinctively touched his Heavenly Eye, which had once again activated on its own.
"Swish."
Just then, within the mist struck by the golden light, a hazy golden radiance rose up directly in front of Huo Yuhao.
He quickly looked over.
Before long, the mist began to dissipate, finally revealing an entrance that resembled a tunnel.
Huo Yuhao frowned. As the mist cleared, a sense of unease welled up within him, as if something was beckoning him to enter.
After a moment of silence, Huo Yuhao chose to enter. Perhaps, all his doubts would be answered soon.
Stepping into the mist, nothing unusual happened. Huo Yuhao just kept walking and walking. Finally, according to his own estimation, he had advanced nearly a thousand meters. At last, the end of the tunnel within the mist arrived.
About ten meters from the exit, golden light was already reflected in Huo Yuhao's eyes. Outside the tunnel, something seemed to be emitting a radiant glow.
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao hastened his pace and rushed out.
After stepping out of the mist, Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly froze, staring fixedly ahead. Hundreds of meters away, a pillar that was over a hundred meters tall stood there.
The pillar was perfectly straight, reaching towards the sky. It was a pale gold color, and somewhat transparent, with light swirling within, like a precious jade. If one looked closely, they could see numerous mysterious light patterns on the surface of the pillar, patterns that seemed familiar.
At the very top of the pillar, a faint, illusory circular light and shadow hovered, though it was too indistinct for even Huo Yuhao to see clearly.
In addition to this, there were four rings outside the pillar, starting at a height of twenty meters, with another one roughly every twenty meters after that.
But unlike the pale gold of the pillar itself, these rings were gray, like the Star Rings that orbit planets.
"What is this?" Huo Yuhao mumbled to himself in confusion. He jogged forward. Perhaps because this was his Sea of Consciousness, with a thought, he crossed the hundreds of meters and arrived directly beneath the giant pillar.
The faint light shimmering on the pillar's surface reflected onto Huo Yuhao, a gentle presence. The incredibly profound light patterns within made one's mind wander.
Buzz
Suddenly, a buzzing sound rang out, and Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. The Heavenly Eye seemed to be urging him forward, to touch the pillar.
After a moment of hesitation, Huo Yuhao ultimately made his choice. He strode forward and reached out his hands to touch the pillar.
At that very instant, a powerful vibration spread from his Sea of Consciousness. The ground rippled continuously, but the pillar remained standing firm. The golden light within it brightened considerably, and an existence imbued with strange power began to spread outwards.
Strands of light followed the pillar, then clung to Huo Yuhao's hands, flowing into his body without end.
During this process, although Huo Yuhao was worried, he didn't feel any discomfort.
A few seconds later, the light ceased flowing towards him, and Huo Yuhao successfully withdrew his hands.
He took a few steps back, his expression unreadable, and murmured, "Sun God Pillar?"
Yes, what the light had conveyed to him was a simple description.
No wonder he was unharmed when he looked at the sun. It turned out that the Heavenly Eye was related to the sun.
This massive pillar was a Sun God Pillar used to gather the Power of Faith. The four Star Rings represented the different stages of the pillar's function.
However, the Star Rings were currently unactivated. Before the third stage, he could use the Power of Faith and other energies to activate them. But from the third stage onward, only the Power of Faith could be used.
Each time he activated a Star Ring, he would gain the power of that stage of the Sun God Pillar. However, the specific effects of each stage were unclear.
The Sun God Pillar was playing a riddle game with him.
There was also no information about what would happen after all four stages were completed.
Wait a minute.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao thought of something. He immediately closed his eyes, remembering that this was his world; he could control everything.
Suddenly, a strong mental fluctuation swept through his Sea of Consciousness, but it wasn't directed at the Sun God Pillar. Instead, it was directed at his own body.
If someone were outside, they would definitely see a special energy emanating from Huo Yuhao, who was currently in a state of unconsciousness.
These fluctuations moved from his entire body towards his head…
Inside his Sea of Consciousness, Huo Yuhao's eyes snapped open. Beside him, two flames spontaneously materialized with a "whoosh."
"Buzz!"
As if sensing something, a suction force instantly erupted from the Sun God Pillar, and, like two large hands, forcibly drew the two flames into its interior.
Huo Yuhao gazed intently, observing a visible flicker within the transparent interior of the Sun God Pillar, but it was only for a moment.
The next instant, Huo Yuhao quickly looked up at his first Star Ring, his eyes immediately lighting up.
He saw strands of energy circling the Star Ring, then vanishing. The Star Ring's color hadn't changed, but Huo Yuhao could sense that it was definitely different from before, even if only slightly.
"No wonder this thing didn't work when I absorbed it. So that's what it's for."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly understood.
Those two flames were none other than Chai San and Chai Wu's Flame of Life.
But suddenly, Huo Yuhao's expression became strange.
He definitely couldn't get Power of Faith, so if he relied on Flame of Life, what was the difference between that and being an Evil Soul Master? Evil Soul Master...
Huo Yuhao's gaze grew deep.
But fortunately, besides Power of Faith and Flame of Life, he should be able to use other energies.
However, it was obvious that he had been forced onto the path of creating his own godhood.
At this moment, there was no time to consider how the Heavenly Eye had appeared.
