Chapter 52: Gift
For Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent, daily life consists of a few things: eating, cultivation, fighting, love, love, love, love…
They are just a group of muscle-brained love brains, and you can’t expect them to think about the pros and cons of the foundation.
There might be some strong persons who can realize the drawbacks of the foundation and then refuse to use it.
Huo Yuhao doesn’t care whether they use it or not; one more like him isn’t too many, one less isn’t too few.
If you don’t use it, there are plenty of others who will!
Moreover, even if you don’t use it, you’ll still unconsciously inject spiritual power into the dream space in the end.
As long as the vast majority of Soul Masters and ordinary people are willing to embrace the foundation, it can fulfill Huo Yuhao’s purpose of promoting alchemy and stabilizing the divine kingdom.
Those old things clinging to the past glory of Soul Masters will sooner or later be crushed by the torrent of the times as a drag on progress.
The foundation can also help Huo Yuhao gather faith, although currently Huo Yuhao isn’t too clear on whether faith helps him in any way.
But having it is always better than not having it; faith seems related to the composition of the God Realm and should be able to help the plane ascend.
Maybe he can even use these faiths through the foundation to create some cyber deities and cosplay as a cyber God himself.
Ruthlessly punish those bastards who like to make hell jokes.
Huo Yuhao stood on the gorgeous Glazed Road and slowly raised his head, looking toward the pure white heaven and earth around him.
He now already had a specific idea for controlling this divine kingdom; this would be a massive project.
With his current abilities, it was fundamentally impossible, but fortunately, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Ilex both had considerable expertise in spiritual power.
With the three brothers working together, who could stand against them? Steam!
The Little Planet Spirit’s bright eyes saw Huo Yuhao raise his head, and the corners of her mouth revealed a smile as her ethereal and holy voice resounded on the road:
“It seems you already know how to control this divine kingdom.”
Huo Yuhao nodded to her, his eyes confidently saying:
“Yeah, thanks to your reminder.”
Then, Huo Yuhao explained his plan to establish the alchemy foundation, stabilize the miscellaneous spiritual power through the foundation, and promote alchemy to the others.
The red-clothed little girl’s obsidian-like eyes curved into crescents; she was very happy that Huo Yuhao had found his own path.
After hearing Huo Yuhao’s explanation, Ilex nodded from time to time, the gray airflows around him constantly oscillating; he thought this method had very high feasibility.
At least, it was absolutely feasible in terms of the idea.
Ilex’s aged voice resounded in the Sea of Consciousness.
“Hahaha!”
“Good plan! This old man hasn’t been this interested in something for a long time!”
“Alchemy foundation, embodying myriad mysteries in one…”
“If this idea can really be realized, what will the future of this world look like? Everyone like dragons? Boundless hell?”
“Yu Hao, your foundation will ignite a fire in this world; this fire might incinerate the entire world or let the world be reborn in the fire!”
“But it doesn’t matter; this old man doesn’t care what the future holds!”
“Yu Hao, rest assured, this old man will do his utmost to help you realize this alchemy foundation!”
Among the residents of the Sea of Consciousness, the Golden Tortoise had no particular thoughts about this.
As the rice bucket and freeloader in Huo Yuhao’s team.
It only thought it was awesome.
No way around it; as a luck Soul Beast clan member, it just needed to eat until full and sleep, sleep until full and eat to grow stronger every day.
Luck granted their clan extremely long lifespans, even if few Golden Tortoises could break through two hundred thousand years.
Mainly because luck doesn’t provide breakthrough opportunities.
But basically, all of them could grind to hundred thousand year through time.
As for survival pressure?
That’s like checking your wallet at the end of the month—nonexistent!
No Soul Beast would suddenly decide to hunt luck Soul Beasts.
Although the Golden Tortoise, unlike the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, couldn’t significantly speed up Soul Beast cultivation speed.
It still had many benefits for Soul Beasts; staying near their clan could significantly increase the chances of surviving Heavenly Tribulation.
Even if there were any, it would be like eating too many red beans and getting lovesick.
Not to mention whether the opponent could break through the Golden Tortoise’s tortoise shell defense, you should know that Golden Tortoises usually have guardian Soul Beasts nearby.
Those Soul Beasts still hoping to break through relying on the Golden Tortoise would tear the enemy into fragments first.
It was just that Huo Yuhao’s Golden Tortoise courted death itself, unluckily going to touch Di Tian’s treasure basket.
Even the Life Gold that could help the Silver Dragon King recover might seem more important to Di Tian than his own basket.
Fortunately, luck didn’t abandon its good son; at the last moment of life, it pointed it to Huo Yuhao as the bright path.
The Golden Tortoise was now even a bit complaining why it wasn’t a spiritual attribute Soul Beast; maybe it could help Huo Yuhao.
It had some understanding of water elements, luck, and light elements, but was completely clueless about spiritual power.
So the Golden Tortoise silently retreated behind the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Ilex, its gaze clear like a fresh college graduate entering society.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was initially quite happy; after all, if the foundation could be born, it would only bring benefits and no drawbacks for their group.
Just like Qin Shi Huang touching a live wire—winning big.
He secretly resolved to study alchemy well and contribute to Huo Yuhao’s foundation great undertaking.
But soon, carefully recalling Huo Yuhao’s specific idea, he felt something was off.
“What do you mean Tian Meng server?”
“Using my brain as the core processor?!”
At this moment, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm discovered one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.
The good news was that he was indispensable in Yu Hao’s plan, a key link.
The bad news was that he was too key, and it might occupy a large amount of his thinking capacity.
“Gua!”
“Yu Hao, you can’t do this!”
“I’ve contributed to you! I want to see mama! I want to report!”
The Golden Tortoise watched as Tian Meng quickly deployed the Face-Changing Soul Skill, going from ecstatic joy to terror, then starting to call for mama again.
It sighed; life is hard, turtle sighs.
Then it pressed the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm under its tortoise shell again, ruthlessly correcting.
“Tian Meng Ge, relax, it’ll be fine soon.”
Watching the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm wailing in the Sea of Consciousness, the Little Planet Spirit chuckled lightly, then slowly walked in front of Huo Yuhao.
“Next, the time should be about right.”
“I’m going to return to the inner side of the planet.”
“This isn’t my domain; I can’t stay here long; this space has already started repelling me.”
“Next time we meet, I hope you can grow a bit taller.”
“You’re a bit short now.”
“Next, let me give you some final gifts.”
The red-clothed little girl waved her hand, beckoning Huo Yuhao to squat down.
Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn’t refuse and followed her instruction to squat in front of her, his eyes level with hers.
The Little Planet Spirit did something unexpected to everyone present; she gently kissed Huo Yuhao’s forehead.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm giggled foolishly under the Golden Tortoise’s tortoise shell: “Hehe, mama kissed me.”
Ilex’s gray airflows stiffened, then formed a palm covering the entire ball, expressing speechlessness.
“This worm is beyond saving!”
“Little turtle, keep up the intensity; this worm seems to be enjoying it a bit.”
Hearing this, the Golden Tortoise increased the correction intensity, vowing to bring back the former Tian Meng Ge!
And Huo Yuhao finally knew what the Little Planet Spirit meant by her final gift.
“[Understanding] reaches 10%, Martial Soul Furnace unlocks.”
“[Imagination] reaches 5%, preliminary imagination construction unlocks.”
“[Dream] reaches 10%, dream shuttle unlocks.”
The red-clothed little girl gently stepped back a few steps, her toes pointing to the ground, legs crossed, bowing her head and saying:
“This is the final gift.”
“This is the most I can do currently.”
“But you must remember, the core of [Understanding] is not replication but omniscience.”
“[Imagination] cannot exceed understanding; you cannot materialize things you fundamentally can’t imagine.”
“[Dream] is the safest, yet also the most dangerous; it is the cornerstone of the spirit.”
“If you want to imagine life, don’t worry about the past; I can help you resolve the history of life.”
“Well then, goodbye.”
Gradually, the red-clothed little girl’s figure disappeared from the pure white heaven and earth, and Huo Yuhao’s vision returned to pure white.
The heaven and earth were cleaner than white paper erased with an eraser.
Only occasionally could the sounds of the black giant dragon and teddy bear fighting be heard from afar.
Alright, that’s the current setup for alchemy and the three authorities; next is heading to the far north to get the Ice Empress.
Thank you, dear readers, for your support; butt up, OrZ
