After leaving Star Dou Great Forest, Jin Li returned directly to Star Luo City.
Shortly after returning to Spirit Pagoda, a staff member came to her door and told her that Huo Yuhao was waiting for her in the top-floor office.
When she pushed open the familiar office door, she saw Huo Yuhao sitting behind his desk, not working, seemingly waiting for her.
The moment Jin Li's gaze fell on him, the words that Zi Ji had said to her involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
This made her pause slightly as she stepped through the door, and her face unconsciously flushed slightly.
Huo Yuhao looked up and was slightly taken aback when he saw her like this.
He was a little confused. It had only been a few days since they last met, so why did Jin Li blush when she saw him? This was not like her at all.
Huo Yuhao stood up from behind his desk, walked over to Jin Li, and pulled her to sit down on the sofa.
The two faced each other in silence for a moment, and a subtle quiet seemed to flow in the air.
Immediately, the two spoke almost simultaneously, saying in unison, "I have something to tell you!"
They both paused for a moment, then simultaneously said, "You go first."
As soon as the words were spoken, the coincidence made both of them burst into laughter, and the slightly awkward atmosphere from before was somewhat dispelled.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Then I'll go first."
His smile faded, and his expression turned serious as he looked at Jin Li and asked Dao, " Jin Li, have you noticed anything unusual about your Spiritual Sea?"
Jin Li frowned slightly upon hearing this, somewhat puzzled as to why Huo Yuhao would suddenly ask such a question.
She thought for a moment, then shook her head: "No, why?"
Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, a conflicted expression lingering on his face as if he were considering how to begin.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Jin Li couldn't help but speak first: "Just say what you have to say, why are you hesitating?"
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and looked into Jin Li's golden eyes. He said seriously, " Jin Li, Dong'er's body has a problem. Her Soul is incomplete, and the missing part of her Soul is deep in your Spiritual Sea."
"How could it possibly be in my Spiritual Sea?!"
Jin Li gasped, sitting bolt upright, his golden eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Huo Yuhao's voice remained calm as he said to Dao, "This matter is very complicated; the spirits of the Divine Realm are involved."
Jin Li remained silent for a long time, his golden pupils slightly lowered, as if he was trying to process the impact of this information.
She never doubted Huo Yuhao's words.
After a long while, she slowly raised her head and said to Dao, "You're telling me all this because you want to take away her Soul, right?"
Huo Yuhao didn't shy away from the question and nodded: "That's right, with an incomplete soul, Dong'er's life will be in danger."
Upon hearing this, Jin Li's gaze flickered slightly.
Her voice trembled slightly, as if she were trying to suppress some emotion: "So... all you've been thinking about is Wang Donger."
Huo Yuhao's heart tightened upon hearing these words.
He realized that his expression had been too direct, only thinking about explaining the ins and outs of Dragon, but neglecting Jin Li's feelings.
He quickly spoke, his voice tinged with urgency: "No! You are just as important to me!"
If God of Destruction hadn't appeared in time, Jin Li would have had to sacrifice himself for him.
From that moment on, not only did Jin Li confront his feelings, but Huo Yuhao also realized that his feelings for Jin Li were no longer just guilt, but also love that had grown from it.
Seeing Jin Li's once bright golden pupils now appear veiled in mist, losing their usual liveliness and brilliance, Huo Yuhao's heart tightened slightly.
He took a deep breath and slowed his speech: " Jin Li, the part of Dong'er's soul appearing in you is a secret arrangement by a deity, and that deity's ultimate target is actually me."
Upon hearing this, Jin Li slowly raised his head, his golden eyes falling on Huo Yuhao's face with a particularly serious expression.
Huo Yuhao met her gaze and continued, "Your sacrifice for me was also secretly arranged by that god; it was the inevitable end in your original destiny."
"So from the beginning I have kept my distance from you, not wanting you to have too much involvement with me, and I wanted to try to change your fate of sacrifice."
"But in the end, in Qiankun Asking Love Valley, you almost fell victim to his Dao. If it weren't for the timely intervention of the God of Destruction, you would have already sacrificed yourself for me."
Jin Li listened attentively, and the slight sense of grievance and disappointment in her heart was gradually being replaced by a deeper curiosity.
She couldn't help but ask, "How do you know my original destiny?"
Huo Yuhao looked at her with a serious and earnest expression: "Because I have been to the world ten thousand years later, and our story is recorded in the history books."
" The world ten thousand years from now? How is that possible!"
Jin Li couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. What Huo Yuhao said was simply too unbelievable and beyond her comprehension.
Huo Yuhao's words carried an unprecedented seriousness: "Nothing is impossible. Would you like to experience it for yourself? "
He asked this question because just now, through the Kunlun Mirror, he had clearly sensed the time of the next Transmigration, which was one hour away.
The haze that had clouded Jin Li's eyes was gradually dissipating, restoring their former clarity.
She looked at Huo Yuhao and nodded instinctively.
...
Although the Abyss's attack was repelled, the Douluo Continent did not return to peace.
If it weren't for Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master colluding with those inside and outside the Abyss, the Abyss plane might not have been able to breach the defenses that Dao had protected for six thousand years so easily.
In an instant, a full-scale crackdown on Holy Spirit Cults swept across the continent once again. The Federal Army, War God Hall, Spirit Pagoda, Tang Sect, and other major forces all took action to hunt down the Evil Soul Masters hiding in the shadows.
For a time, it seemed as if the Evil Soul Master had truly vanished.
Spirit Pagoda Inside the cultivation room, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes.
He was already used to such transmigration.
He sat up straight, stretched his slightly stiff shoulders and neck, and then gestured a few times in the Void Realm.
OneDao Golden magical runes flew from Dao's fingertips, swirling and intertwining in the air, as if drawn by an invisible pen tip, and finally coalesced on the ground into a complete hexagram array.
A flash of light appeared, and Jin Li's figure appeared in the very center of the magic circle.
As soon as she appeared, she couldn't help but shake her head and look around.
The color of the walls, the style of the soul-guiding lamps, the atmosphere permeating the air —everything was so unfamiliar.
An hour earlier, she was standing in the top-floor office of Spirit Pagoda in Star Luo City, and then she was taken into the Small World called Undead Plane.
And now, she found herself in this completely unfamiliar room, and the seed of "curiosity" in her heart was growing rapidly.
Huo Yuhao stood up, walked to the door of the cultivation room, pushed it open, and turned to Jin Li behind him, saying, " Come with me."
Jin Li didn't ask any more questions, and just quickly followed after him.
As the Emperor Auspicious Beast of Star Dou Great Forest, her perception of the Origin Qi of Heaven and Earth is far more acute than that of ordinary Spirit Masters.
When she first appeared in this cultivation room, she immediately noticed that the world here, Origin Qi, had changed dramatically compared to before.
Is it really true that transmigration has continued for over 10,000 years?
Filled with questions, she followed Huo Yuhao out of the cultivation room.
