Chapter 229: Huo Yuhao: “on The Douluo Continent, Anyone Surnamed Dai Is No Good!”
Huo Yuhao looked at Adam’s pair of clear golden eyes, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
“New guests?”
“You’ve even started learning to tease.”
“Let’s talk over there.”
Adam nodded slightly and followed Huo Yuhao outside the spacious canyon. Huo Yuhao leaned against the damp rock wall, blowing the salty sea breeze as he said to Adam:
“Tell me, what kind of two new guests have come to Douluo Continent?”
Adam waved his finger, and the Magic Net’s light screen floated in front of Huo Yuhao. The light screen split into two parts, and after a brief black screen, two completely different scenes appeared on it.
The two light screens respectively showed a boy and a girl. The boy was gesticulating animatedly while negotiating with an inn boss, probably wanting to stay at the inn.
The girl was on the road, following a route that Huo Yuhao was extremely familiar with—the very path he had taken when he fled from the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion. It seemed she wanted to meet up with the little boy.
The ability Adam was using right now was the Magic Net’s built-in surveillance function, a backdoor added by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm from the very beginning of its design.
As long as the other party connected to the Magic Net, Huo Yuhao and anyone with Magic Net management permissions could peep on them at any time.
However, Huo Yuhao generally didn’t use this thing; he didn’t have that habit. It was basically the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm secretly recording major external meetings.
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, moved his finger in the air, and the two light screens began to enlarge and adjust the viewing angle to the front of the two people.
He carefully examined the boy and girl’s appearances, then leaned forward slightly and said:
“Interesting.”
“Someone cloned me?”
“Or something else?”
Adam looked at the teenager on the screen who was frantically thanking the inn boss, and his tone unexpectedly carried a hint of fluctuation.
“That boy is called Huo Zhanji, human.”
“He just connected to the Magic Net today.”
“But he already has Soul Elder strength.”
“Martial Soul is Spiritual Eye.”
Huo Yuhao smiled and said:
“I understand.”
“Soul Elder strength and just connected to the Magic Net—this kid appeared out of thin air.”
“Huo Zhanji…”
“What a name.”
“And this appearance and Martial Soul.”
“I know his identity: time traveler.”
“Just don’t know if it’s the future of our world or another world’s future.”
“Most likely another world’s future, parallel world.”
“It’s impossible on a single timeline for someone to travel freely between past and future—at least in my current understanding, this can’t happen.”
“There are a bunch of paradoxes in this.”
“Unless someone can transcend the universe’s underlying logic.”
“What’s that girl’s name? She’s really pretty.”
Adam hesitated slightly, then said the girl’s name.
“Called Dai Ying.”
“Current strength is level eighty.”
“According to her description, she was once a first-level god, but all her power was worn away by space-time turbulence and plane rejection.”
This girl’s name left Huo Yuhao silently stunned. He slapped his forehead and was silent for a long time before speaking.
“I take back my words.”
“This little girl doesn’t look like me at all—not as cute as my Die Bao!”
Adam on the side silently nodded imperceptibly.
“But this also confirms my guess.”
“These two are time travelers from another world.”
“From a parallel timeline unrelated to ours.”
“During this time, you and Audrey keep a close eye on them—record every move in the Magic Net.”
“Especially that little girl called Dai Ying. I could tell at a glance she has eight hundred schemes. Daring to have the surname Dai! Definitely not a good person!”
Adam’s mouth twitched faintly, his figure gradually fading into the air, his voice flat.
“I understand, Father.”
Once the space in front of him was completely empty, Huo Yuhao looked at the vast sea and shook his head slightly.
Regarding the Time Domain, he was completely clueless—or rather, no one on the entire Douluo Star was proficient in time.
The Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler could only slightly interfere with time using spiritual power; Di Tian went without saying.
His dear secretary Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na also had no time attribute. The time attribute was on the Golden Dragon King, who was practically mad and probably only knew how to use it without understanding why.
“A Shui, A Xue, come over here. I have something to ask you.”
Huo Yuhao went to the spacious canyon and found the Water Dragon King and Snow Empress assisting A Tai, the Extreme North soul beasts, and the Extreme North Shipyard workers in moving giant shipbuilding equipment.
The two women exchanged a glance and came to Huo Yuhao’s side. The Water Dragon King’s voice was still gentle as water.
“What’s wrong?”
Huo Yuhao looked at this former God King-level Dragon King and said:
“Do you know under what circumstances time travel can occur?”
Snow Empress’s sky-blue eyes flashed with doubt as she said:
“Yu Hao, have you encountered something related to time travel?”
Huo Yuhao didn’t conceal it and nodded, saying:
“Heh, Adam just came to tell me two guests from another spacetime have arrived on Douluo Continent.”
“They look like this.”
Huo Yuhao pulled up the surveillance video through his permissions. Huo Zhanji was tidying the bed in the inn room; he had just exchanged a lot of dream coins, or else he wouldn’t even have money to stay at the inn.
Dai Ying was still on the road and would probably arrive at Star Luo City today.
Snow Empress looked at the screen, tilted her head, and said:
“They look like you, Yu Hao.”
“Are they your future children?”
Huo Yuhao held out his palm to Snow Empress and said:
“They are ‘Huo Yuhao’s’ children, but not mine.”
“Parallel timeline. I remember Elder Ilex taught you about this.”
“You didn’t forget, right? Elder Ilex even asked me to give you a spot check test in a few days.”
Snow Empress’s body trembled suddenly, her clear sky-blue eyes showing fear.
“Yu Hao, you’re really putting me in a tough spot.”
“Let me off the hook.”
“Bing’er is about to come out of seclusion. When she arrives in your sea of consciousness, let Tian Meng and Elder Ilex teach her.”
“Bing’er is much smarter than me.”
Huo Yuhao looked at Snow Empress tenderly and said no more.
Snow Empress waved her hand in front of her, hurriedly changing the subject:
“That said, I’m really clueless about the Time Domain.”
“The Extreme North has never produced a soul beast of that attribute.”
The Water Dragon King looked at the screen, her deep blue eyes flashing with contemplation. Just from her posture, it was clear A Shui was far more reliable than A Xue! As expected of a former God King!
“Yu Hao, can this video display their aura?”
“I might have some guesses.”
A smile appeared on Huo Yuhao’s face as he lightly tapped his finger in the air and said:
“What’s so difficult about that?”
“It’s just a small permission thing.”
“Done.”
The Magic Net’s light screen rippled, as if something had been added. The video quality became clearer, and the screen now acted like a spatial passage directly showing their scenes and auras.
The Water Dragon King closed her eyes and gently sensed the auras on Huo Zhanji and Dai Ying.
Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress stood aside, not daring to disturb the Water Dragon King’s thinking.
Only when they noticed the Water Dragon King’s mouth curve up slightly and she reopened her lake-like clear eyes did they slowly approach.
“Yu Hao, I know what’s going on.”
“It’s the lingering influence of an old friend.”
Huo Yuhao had a faint guess upon hearing this and said:
“Time Dragon King?”
“Didn’t he die completely? And there’s still residue?”
The Water Dragon King’s eyes flashed with sadness as she said:
“Father had no reason in his madness and didn’t reclaim the nine great Dragon Kings’ crowns.”
“Each crown is the Dragon God’s supreme achievement, equivalent to a divine position. How could they be easily destroyed?”
“After Time’s death, the Crown of Time should have drifted to some other space.”
“Those two children carry the aura of the Crown of Time.”
Huo Yuhao was somewhat baffled and said:
“Why would the Crown of Time suddenly appear now?”
“Did someone trigger it?”
The Water Dragon King smiled faintly, looked at Huo Yuhao, and said:
“Yeah.”
“You triggered it.”
Without waiting for Huo Yuhao to ask, she explained proactively:
“The nine great crowns are all the Dragon God’s achievements.”
“The nine kings’ crowns were originally one, naturally linked to each other.”
“Crowns with owners aren’t affected by this link, but ownerless crowns lack self-reason, so this influence amplifies infinitely.”
“Yu Hao, you should have five crowns, right?”
“Earth, wind, water, fire, space.”
Huo Yuhao now understood why the time travel phenomenon occurred—it was because of him.
“I see.”
“It’s really the so-called butterfly effect.”
“But I currently only have four crowns; the Space Crown has been given to the second-generation Space Dragon King.”
“A Shui, can we find the Crown of Time through those two children?”
The Water Dragon King thought for a moment, blinked her deep blue eyes, and said:
“Yes.”
“We have four crowns on hand, combined with the time aura on those two children, I can absolutely pinpoint the Crown of Time’s location.”
Huo Yuhao nodded. Among all the crowns, the Crown of Time was the one he wanted most.
Time was the only power he had zero understanding of—well, not completely; at most he knew it was related to space-time and gravity.
Suddenly, Snow Empress’s body moved slightly, her eyes lighting up with surprise as she looked at Huo Yuhao and said:
“Yu Hao, Sister Shui!”
“Bing’er is about to undergo her tribulation.”
“Want to go watch together?”
Huo Yuhao ended his thoughts and nodded to Snow Empress.
