Chapter 165: Forces Stir, Root Group
A day had already passed since the Dragon King Funeral.
Last evening, Huo Yuhao’s spiritual power did not detect Gu Yue Na’s arrival and departure.
But he was clear that Gu Yue Na must have come, because this was the Dragon King’s funeral, and she, as the Silver Dragon King, had no reason not to come.
Since she had come, she must know the truth about the deaths of the nine great Dragon Kings and the prohibitions on the Soul Beast Clan.
Huo Yuhao was very curious about what choice Gu Yue Na would make in the future: continue pursuing to become the new Dragon God? Or find a new path for the Soul Beasts?
But he did not care. Since Gu Yue Na and Di Tian could not save the Soul Beasts, it was better to let Huo Yuhao do it personally.
Let him arrange a brand new path for the Soul Beast Clan. In the future envisioned by Huo Yuhao, Soul Beasts would integrate into human civilization in the form of Soul Spirits.
Until the two races were indistinguishable from each other, thoroughly becoming a brand new civilization.
To achieve this goal, Soul Spirit Technology must be sufficiently perfected, without the slightest flaw.
Because this technology is like surgical sutures; once an error occurs, the rejection reaction might take the life of the entire civilization.
“Soul Spirits cannot completely depend on humans; they must have a certain degree of autonomy.”
“The contracts of Soul Spirits must also be equal; it is absolutely unacceptable for one side to have higher authority than the other.”
In the building of Enthusiasm Headquarters, Huo Yuhao was buried in hard work, using the computing power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and part of the Magic Net’s computing power to deduce every technical detail of Soul Spirit Technology.
Striving to obtain the most perfected plan.
The entire Soul Spirit Technology is based on contracts and contract dissolution. After a Soul Spirit’s contract is dissolved, it will not dissipate quickly like a Soul Ring, but can continue to exist relying on the Magic Net’s spiritual power.
It can also be considered a form of cyber life.
However, based on the composition of Soul Spirits, spiritual power alone is far from enough, just like humans cannot survive on water alone without food.
With only spiritual power supply, a Hundred Thousand Year level Soul Spirit can last at most two hundred years. Once it reaches the limit, it must contract with a human, or it will return to heaven and earth.
After pondering the Soul Spirit Technology perfection plan for a while, Huo Yuhao took out the Space Crown from the Dream Space and examined it carefully in his hand.
Silvery-white material like fine glass, not luxurious overall, but extremely noble and sacred.
The crown emitted a misty faint light under the sunlight shining through the window.
Dyeing Huo Yuhao’s black eyes silver-white.
Huo Yuhao’s gaze penetrated the gorgeous glass around the crown’s exterior, clearly seeing a power that was hard to describe flowing within it.
If that power had to be described in words, it should be like conceptualized authority, a kind of authority that can wield space rules.
Just as the Space Dragon King said, the Space Crown is an alternative divine position, a divine position belonging to the Dragon King.
This was the first time Huo Yuhao had come into such close contact with a divine position. Even the Thunder God divine position, the closest one, had not been toyed with in his hand like the Space Crown.
Moreover, this was not an ordinary divine position; it was a God King level divine position, the ultimate goal pursued by countless beings in this universe.
The Space Crown lived up to being one of the Dragon God’s nine great achievements. Merely gazing at this crown, a large amount of space-related insights surged in his mind, and Huo Yuhao’s understanding of the space domain deepened greatly.
“Phase, space, and energy actually have this kind of relationship?”
“There are natural axioms among the three.”
“It seems I can further perfect the Infinite Void Technique later.”
Merely looking at the crown for a while, Huo Yuhao already knew how to improve the Infinite Void Technique, with various novel inspirations bursting in his mind.
In the future, he was confident he could greatly reduce the inscription difficulty of the Infinite Void Technique, even attempt to weaken it to see if it could be arranged on Soul Beast bones, disguised as a Soul Bone.
If the experiment succeeded, these disguised Soul Bones could be left to Enthusiasm as the organization’s foundation, allowing members to exchange them with contribution points.
Huo Yuhao quietly held the Space Crown, carefully sensing the knowledge automatically emanating from the authority of space.
While the Space Crown had not yet been absorbed by Ti Bao, he planned to study the knowledge of the space domain thoroughly. Among the nine great elements, space was the most unique and hardest to access, second only to time.
Space attribute Martial Souls were also rarely seen on the Douluo Continent.
Through this Space Crown, Huo Yuhao might find a method to change the demi-plane, achieving expansion and alteration of the Kamui Space.
For the Kamui Space, Huo Yuhao had always been at a loss on how to proceed. Clearly he was the master of the demi-plane, yet unable to alter the Kamui Space at will.
In the end, it was because he did not understand the mechanisms of the demi-plane. Even Ilex had forgotten this part of the knowledge, so he could only explore it slowly himself.
In a few days, Huo Yuhao would hand the Space Crown to Ti Bao, helping her become the heir of the Space Dragon Clan.
Although this title was useless—the Space Dragon Clan had long been extinct, and she had no subjects at all.
Even Ti Bao herself was Huo Yuhao’s Technology and Ruthlessness.
But the divine position was real.
In the God Realm, remnants of the Dragon God Realm like the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life were still alive and would not block Ti Bao from entering the God Realm in the future.
Even because of Bai E, he should be very willing to see the second-generation Space Dragon King return to the God Realm, adding God King level combat power to the Destruction faction.
During the process of studying the authority of space, Huo Yuhao’s body suddenly trembled slightly, a hint of helplessness appeared on his face, and his black eyes looked outside the window.
The bright and gentle sunlight dispersed the silver-white light in his eyes.
He put the Space Crown back into the Dream Space, then stood up, put on the black trench coat hanging behind the chair, and came to the side of a window.
Spiritual Eye opened, black eyes blooming with colors from the starry sky, as if an entire starry sky was hidden in the eyes, vast and gorgeous.
He leaned against the window, looking toward the Green Soil direction outside Xilu City, where ripples appeared in the air beside him.
Adam’s figure slowly emerged from the ripples, speaking to Huo Yuhao in a tone without the slightest ripple:
“A super expert has appeared on the Green Soil side.”
“It’s a Limit Douluo. According to the image, it’s Dragon God Douluo Mu En.”
“Do we need to deploy countermeasures?”
“Using Xilu City as the main field, guide Level Eight Fixed Soul Tool Cannonballs and Level Nine Disintegration Soul Tool Cannons through the Magic Net, and forcibly interfere with the opponent’s will using the Dream Space.”
“There is a forty percent chance of a First Encounter Kill on the Dragon God Douluo.”
“Space Teleportation array is ready; we can evacuate half of Xilu City to the Extreme North at any time.”
“However, my suggestion is to negotiate with the other party; this is the optimal solution.”
“Ahem.”
“No need for such a big commotion.”
“I’ll go negotiate; Shrek Academy is not our enemy at present.”
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao felt a bit embarrassed and hurriedly waved his hand at Adam.
Seeing this, Adam nodded slightly and said:
“Mm, I’ll go continue monitoring around Xilu City. According to Magic Net surveillance, a total of one hundred thirty-one organizations have ideas about us.”
“Among them, fifteen organizations have Titled Douluo level powerhouses.”
“Most of the fifteen organizations are observing; a few have chosen to act directly.”
“Among them, Profound Nether Sect dispatched a Titled Douluo Xu Zhou, Martial Soul is Mysterious Nether Turtle, Level 93.”
“Average strength; I can handle it.”
“Body Sect dispatched two Soul Douluos, Lang Ya and Yu Tao, to investigate.”
“According to the information from Sukuna, this sect has a total of eleven Titled Douluos, five of whom are Super Douluos.”
“Extremely protective; not recommended to kill those two.”
“Recommend direct expulsion via spiritual power.”
“Clear Sky School also sent a Titled Douluo, Tang Feng, Level 91.”
“Should be an order from the Sea God.”
“Because the Magic Net shows Niu Tian and Titan disappeared for about an hour; only divine power can achieve this.”
“Heaven Soul Empire also sent a Soul Douluo; no need to worry about him, the Root Group has gone to handle it.”
The Root Group is the secret action team Huo Yuhao established for Enthusiasm.
The members inside are all elites carefully selected by Adam.
The cultivation levels of everyone in the Root Group vary, but all are above Soul Sect.
Adam selects Root Group members mainly based on their Martial Souls.
Their Martial Souls are each more bizarre than the last, focusing on mechanism weirdness and First Encounter Kill.
For example, one Soul King’s Martial Soul is named “Strange Mirror.”
It is an extremely rare space type Martial Soul that can pull opponents into the mirror undetected.
For the fifth Soul Ring, Adam specifically chose a ten thousand year Barrier Beast.
Giving its Martial Soul extremely strong sealing characteristics, capable of suppressing the opponent’s Martial Soul and soul power.
Because some Root Group members’ strength can’t keep up with their mechanisms, Adam can supplement their spiritual power and soul power during battle via Magic Net permissions.
Directly compensating their stats.
Under Adam’s coordination and command, the Root Group can make soul masters below Level 90 completely disappear undetected, without leaving any traces.
Even for a Level 91 Titled Douluo, as long as their Martial Soul isn’t particularly strong, the Root Group has a chance for First Encounter Kill.
Hearing Adam’s words, Huo Yuhao became interested and said:
“Yo, Profound Nether Sect, Body Sect, Clear Sky School—these people coming is not surprising.”
“Why is Heaven Soul Empire joining the fun? They dare to stretch their hands to Heaven Dou Plain?”
“Truly, immortals and such are as numerous as flax.”
“Alright, leave it to the Root Group to handle.”
“Later I’ll give you permission; go to Thunderclap Hellvine Canyon to select some spirit grass and distribute it to Root Group members.”
“Further enhance their strength.”
“Their later Soul Rings will be up to you to decide.”
“By the way, where’s Amon? I haven’t seen that kid for a long time.”
Adam nodded slightly, then said:
“Amon joined the Root Group.”
“His cultivation speed is very fast; for the Time Worm Martial Soul, he chose to develop it himself.”
“First Soul Skill chose Parasite.”
“Second Soul Skill chose Split.”
“Third Soul Skill chose Twist.”
“For the Fourth Soul Skill, Amon wants a Fate Type Soul Beast; I’m searching for one for him.”
Huo Yuhao smiled as he looked at him and said:
“Truly, like a father to an elder brother.”
“Cultivating so fast, looks like you haven’t skimped on giving him drugs.”
