"You're asking about Yuhao? He and Wulin are both at the Spirit Soul Research Institute."
Luo Yanglu looked at Gu Yuena, who had come looking for him, while inwardly marveling at the progress between the two. He said: "Jinxi encountered a small bloodline issue that requires Wulin's help to solve..."
After listening, Gu Yuena's gaze condensed. She quickly turned and headed to the Spirit Soul Research Institute.
To cope with the contingency Tang San might have left behind, she had recently been reading a lot about Tang San's past deeds on the soul tool network. Stories of a human defeating the Angel God, the boundless divine power of the Sea God, the legend that Tang Sect hidden weapons could slay gods — they were endless.
The more she read, the heavier Gu Yuena's heart became. Extracting the Golden Dragon King's bloodline would very likely offend the Sea God's nerves and draw out his contingency. Although she trusted Yuhao's strength, with her there, it was clearly moreSure and safe.
Yes — shield herself with Yuhao, support from behind. That should work.
"Elder Electrolux, hide well!"
In Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit, Skydream Iceworm's expression was excited as he said to Elder Electrolux: "You absolutely must not be discovered by that Sea God outside!"
With that, Skydream Iceworm observed the outside world, wanting to see if he could detect that wisp of divine consciousness.
The contingency Huo Yuhao was using was rooted in the souls of Spirit Souls and humans. Once activated, if the Sea God's divine consciousness had the ability to observe the outside world, it would certainly perceive to it.
Electrolux: "..."
Smiling helplessly, Elder Electrolux did not use his own power. He simply observed the outside world through Huo Yuhao's field of vision, preparing for battle at any time.
Back when Huo Yuhao had faked his death, he and Yuhao had put on a show together, using his divine consciousness power to assist Huo Yuhao in creating a divine seat making it look as if he had exhausted his power, his divine consciousness exhausted, and disappeared along with Yuhao.
At the time, he hadn't understood why Huo Yuhao had been so cautious. After hearing Yuhao explain some things recently, he finally understood.
A God King...
Elder Electrolux's gaze became deep.
You may be stronger than me. But a mere wisp of divine consciousness — how does it compare to me?
While the beings in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit were filled with various thoughts, Tang San's divine consciousness was somewhat dazed. A string of memories flashed through his mind.
The lonely figure in the Extreme North, the spirit master wandering outside the human world...finally freezes on a corpse full of death aura.
Huo Yuhao was already dead. The Son of Fate from ten thousand years ago had long since dissipated. Even his true body had once gazed down upon the mortal world.
How could he still be alive?
Tang San felt his scalp go numb as his divine consciousness trembled. His heart pounded violently, as if it might burst from his chest.
There was no surprise—only fear.
Ontology, Ontology… aren't you the God of Wisdom? How could you keep miscalculating like this?
The appearance of the Spirit Transmission Tower's First Generation Tower Master would bring endless variables to the ten-thousand-year grand plan!
Tang San's divine consciousness's brow furrowed deeply. Then, remembering something, he began to explore the fortune Huo Yuhao possessed.
"It's not him?"
After some probing, Tang San's divine consciousness found that Huo Yuhao had not recovered the status of Son of Fate. He was somewhat confused.
He had thought that Huo Yuhao was the mastermind behind everything — the one who had stolen Wulin's fortune. But after checking, he found no at all.
Then what was going on?
Tang San's expression within his divine consciousness darkened, then flickered with light. As he watched Huo Yuhao extract the Golden Dragon King's bloodline power from the Spirit Soul, a trace of killing intent mixed with hesitation—flashed through his eyes.
Huo Yuhao had founded the Spirit Transmission Tower, rejected the position of the Emotion God, and was now seeking the Golden Dragon King's bloodline any one of these paths could lead to death. Whether or not he was connected to the mastermind behind the scenes, he deserved to die.
Should he eliminate this hidden threat now? Did Huo Yuhao have any means to deal with this mere wisp of divine consciousness?
Did he need to waste divine consciousness power on a Limit Douluo who couldn't become a god?
Tang San's divine consciousness's expression flickered uncertainly. The Blood Sword forged from Asura Divine Power in his hand flickered in and out of visibility.
"Yuhao, how's it going?" Gu Yuena pushed open the door and walked in.
The killing intent that had been rising in his heart vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed. Tang San's divine consciousness looked at this girl, who seemed ordinary but had all the elemental forces around her expressing submission to her. His expression completely froze.
Ha, haha!
The Golden Dragon King's bloodline power was also boiling. Someone inside the Golden Dragon King's seal seemed to be loudly mocking him.
Tang San's divine consciousness ignored it. He just looked at Gu Yuena in shock. "The power to control elements, and a connection to the Golden Dragon King... could she be the Silver Dragon King?!"
Seeing Gu Yuena arrive, Huo Yuhao's brow furrowed slightly. He exchanged a glance with her.
Why are you here?
"..."
Gu Yuena avoided Huo Yuhao's gaze. She looked at the Golden Dragon King's bloodline being extracted from Jinyu, her tone low. "So it's truly His power... How much bloodline power can you extract?"
Although she was looking at the bloodline power, her eyes were Huo Yuhao. Her distracted state was noticed by him.
Clearly, she hadn't come for the bloodline power at all.
Looking at Gu Yuena quietly for a moment, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow.
Weren't you the one who wanted to shield herself with me just before? Why are are you here now?
After a moment of silence, Huo Yuhao said in a plain tone:
"Not much can be extracted. To obtain more of the Golden Dragon King's power, we cannot touch him for the time being."
Last time, when he had set up the Spiritual Beacon, Tang San's divine consciousness had observed the outside world and directly acted to erase it. Now, he was extracting the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, revealing a major hidden danger on Wulin's body. Yet, after so long, Tang San's divine consciousness still hadn't acted directly.
Clearly, the other was weighing the pros and cons.
Adding the two instances together, Huo Yuhao could basically be certain that this was not some amnesiac "Old Tang," but a Tang San's divine consciousness with full memories.
He had obtained the information he needed to confirm. And Gu Yuena had come — she was probably also seen by Tang San's divine consciousness. Now, he had to stabilize Tang San's divine consciousness, to prevent the other, because of Gu Yuena's appearance and a loss of emotional balance, from attacking her.
This Miss Great Yayoi-sensei was a bit ditzy. He would cope with Tang San's contingency himself. He just hoped she would live quietly and not cause trouble...
Gu Yuena was startled by this. She looked up and exchanged a glance with Huo Yuhao. She suddenly understood his thinking. After a moment, she said: "Then we'll do as you say. Let him continue to grow for now, see if we can strengthen this bloodline power, and then fuse the Dragon God's power."
"It seems a very tragic battle took place in the Divine Realm — even the divine artifacts of chief gods have fallen on the Douluo Continent. Now the Divine Realm itself has disappeared. I'm afraid it won't return anytime soon. I can wait."
Hearing unexpected news, Huo Yuhao was inwardly surprised.
Had chief gods died in the original Divine Realm war? With only him missing, had there been so many changes?
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao quickly extracted a few key pieces of information.
No matter how tragic the internal war in the Divine Realm had been, Destruction and Tang San would never have allowed their subordinate chief gods to die in battle, nor would they have allowed divine artifacts to drift down to the Douluo Continent.
Those gods who died in battle were killed by the Golden Dragon King...
And the fact that chief gods had died fighting the Golden Dragon King indicated that when it first faced him, the Divine Realm had been very empty. It was the same as in the original only Tang San, a God King, had been present.
Tang San's condition when fighting the Golden Dragon King was not very good. Was it because of the internal Divine Realm war because he had been beaten by Destruction or because... of the pressure of guarding the Divine Realm's central hub?
If it was the latter, Huo Yuhao could solve this problem. After all, there was a formula for it.
"Golden Dragon King, come and try if you dare. Even if I have to face temporal chaos and hold up the Divine Realm with one hand, I, Sea God Tang San, am still invincible in the world!"
The next line would be that one, right?
"Good God King, Evil God King — save me!"
Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head inwardly. He looked toward Tang Wulin.
Alright, Old Gold. If it's as I suspect, you really kicked some ass this time. You suppressed Sea God Tang San and dragged a chief god down with you.
What a pity. From the current situation, it seems Tang San himself is fine. But I'll still erect a monument for you.
