Chapter 59: This Douluo Continent Might As Well Bear The Huo Surname
Huo Yuhao paused his fingers, the corners of his mouth gently curving up as he said to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm:
“Why would you think that?”
Tian Meng put his hood back on, straightened his clothes, and slid down from the Golden Tortoise’s tortoise shell, saying:
“Because Extreme Ice holds no meaning for you.”
“You don’t need a second Martial Soul at all.”
“Spiritual Eye is powerful enough, and Extreme Ice would only hinder your cultivation speed.”
“You can clearly achieve control of elements through Alchemy as well.”
“Extreme Ice isn’t any kind of challenge for you.”
“Maybe Alchemy made me a bit smarter. I seriously reviewed the plan to head to the Extreme North, and it seems like you won’t get anything useful out of it.”
Huo Yuhao smiled, glanced at the distant world’s number one city—Shrek—then pulled the window shut, returned to his seat, poured a cup of tea, and said:
“Of course it’s useful!”
“I didn’t expect the one trying to dissuade me from going to the Extreme North would be you, the proposer of the plan.”
“Instead, I have to persuade you to go.”
“I’ll show you something, and you’ll understand.”
With that, Huo Yuhao stood up and walked to the archive management room.
This place held resident information for the entire Xilu City, collected by Huo Yuhao through Enthusiasm Members.
Huo Yuhao gently flipped through the document bags until he paused on two archives for a moment, then took them out.
Back at his seat, he gently opened the archives, revealing two identity documents inside.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm read the two files in front of him using his spiritual power.
“Name: Sukuna”
“Age: 10 years old”
“Identity Information: Member of Xilu City Orphanage. At one year old, his family was killed by Evil Soul Masters while out, and after becoming an orphan, Sukuna grew up in Xilu City Orphanage.”
“Personality: Arrogant and cold, loves freedom.”
“Martial Soul not awakened.”
“Detailed Information: At one year old, he contracted a finger mutation disease.
At two years old, his fingers increased, and every year after, the number of fingers grew.”
“At three years old………”
“Name: Bai E”
“Age: 10 years old”
“Identity Information: Born in a small village next to Xilu City, later the village was massacred by Evil Soul Masters.”
“Rescued back to the city by Xilu City guards, grew up in the orphanage.”
“Personality: Sunny and cheerful, likes making friends, has a sense of responsibility, dares to resist, and mutually despises Sukuna.”
“Martial Soul not awakened.”
“Note: Can be developed into an Enthusiasm Member in the future.”
“At three years old, by helping a little girl, he befriended a gold-and-red-haired child named Mademos…………”
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was a bit confused and asked Huo Yuhao in doubt:
“Yu Hao, what does this mean?”
“Do these two children have anything special about them?”
Huo Yuhao slowly put away the two archives, carefully tucked them into the drawer below, and said with a smile:
“Tian Meng Ge, these two children aren’t real natural humans.”
“Do you remember my [Imagination] Authority?”
“They are humans I imagined into existence.”
“Memory, life, soul, body, spirit—their everything was imagined by me.”
“The hardest part of imagining a life has never been making it appear.”
“It’s making it continue.”
“This requires imagining the records of the other party when imagining a life.”
“Simply put, imagining a true history and possible future.”
“Normally, with my current [Imagination] Authority Control Level, I couldn’t do this at all.”
“But the Planet Will helped me.”
“She proactively helped me resolve the life’s history.”
“Little Planet Spirit directly used her own authority to add these imagined characters’ pasts to the planet records.”
“So they aren’t rootless weeds and can continue here!”
“These imagined characters are my retainers.”
“Just like the retainers of the [Dream] Authority, the retainers derived from the [Imagination] Authority are also under my control.”
“I can grant them power or revoke their existence, making them vanish instantly.”
“Their only difference from real humans is that they must depend on me.”
Tian Meng was shocked at this moment; he had never imagined Huo Yuhao could forcibly imagine a life into existence.
The [Imagination] Authority could achieve this level—what could Yu Hao do if he fully controlled the [Imagination] Authority?
Imagine a world? A future? A fate?
Just thinking about it made Tian Meng’s scalp tingle, an inexplicable excitement rising from his heart.
He eagerly anticipated how powerful Huo Yuhao would be with full Authority control!
Huo Yuhao sat in the office seat, adding another fish to the Shadow Cat and feeding it some rare fruits.
“Alright, Tian Meng Ge.”
“The current imagination still has a flaw: I still can’t imagine Martial Souls.”
“These imagined humans have no Martial Souls or bloodlines in their bodies.”
“If I want to understand the mysteries of Martial Souls, I must personally experience the entire process of a Martial Soul’s birth!”
“Ice Empress is a perfect opportunity.”
“I don’t care what the second Martial Soul is—even if it’s a pig, I can lead it to become a God!”
“So, to grant them Martial Souls now, I can only rely on the [Understanding] Authority’s Martial Soul Forge.”
“The Martial Soul Forge can grant them brand-new Martial Souls.”
“And the information generated by the Martial Soul Forge needs a carrier!”
“I’ve already found that carrier: the Ice Demon Worms of the Extreme North!”
“So, I must make this trip to the Extreme North.”
Tian Meng fell silent, then removed his hood and said to Huo Yuhao:
“Yu Hao, no matter what you do, I’ll support you!”
“Don’t worry, once we’re in the Extreme North, it’s my home turf.”
“Not to mention Ice Empress—even facing Snow Empress, I’m confident I can persuade her to become your second Martial Soul.”
Huo Yuhao took a gentle sip of water and said: “Of course, I believe you, Tian Meng Ge.”
Tian Meng was now in tears; he felt Huo Yuhao’s unconditional trust.
“Right, Yu Hao, I noticed you kept looking toward Shrek.”
“Do you have some idea?”
For Shrek, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had no goodwill, because in the location sent by the Planet Will, one of the guys who hurt his mother was at Shrek.
Huo Yuhao looked at the misty steam on the tea cup and softly said:
“I’m thinking this Shrek doesn’t have to stay as Shrek—it could take the surname Huo.”
“Heh, it might be impossible in other eras, but in this period, there’s high maneuverability on that front!”
“Do you know what Shrek’s biggest problem is right now?”
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm scratched his head; he didn’t know much about Shrek and wasn’t sure what problems this behemoth had.
Huo Yuhao continued:
“A generational gap!”
“Shrek can’t find the next Limit Douluo.”
“Gluttonous Douluo Xuan Zi loves mischief, has gotten a bunch of Inner Court disciples killed, and refuses to change despite knowing he’s wrong.”
“He’ll probably keep causing trouble later.”
“Bright Phoenix Douluo Yan Shaozhe is short-sighted, his cultivation stuck at level ninety-five with no progress.”
“The surviving Dragon God Douluo won’t last much longer either.”
“After he dies, Shrek will have to be handed to Xuan Zi—Mu En probably has a thousand and one reasons not to want that.”
“And Shrek’s young generation doesn’t have anyone who can carry the banner of the era.”
“My teacher Mu En, whom I’ve never met, is probably headache over this.”
“And for me, talent is the thing I have the most of.”
“Shrek loves monster geniuses, so I’ll send them some.”
“I’ll personally shape someone perfect as the next Sea God Pavilion Master in Mu En’s mind.”
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm seemed to think of something.
“Is it that child named Bai E?”
Huo Yuhao nodded, looking out the window: “Yes, he’s the next-generation successor I carefully selected for Mu En.”
“My teacher whom I’ve never met—if he knew I was helping him like this, he’d probably be moved to death.”
“Who told me to have such a kind heart.”
“I already have an idea for Bai E’s Martial Soul.”
“As for Sukuna, I plan to send him to the Body Sect.”
“And other forces—I’ll slowly insert some people into them.”
“Imagination plus Planet Will—no one will suspect!”
“This Douluo Continent, given time, could well take the surname Huo!”
There’s another chapter during the day, dear readers, don’t be anxious. Begging for monthly tickets, I’ve got my butt ready, OrZ.
Someone said it’s watered down and not pushing the plot. Well, this is the lone wolf route. Current Huo Yuhao wouldn’t go compete—a bunch of level forty or fifty small fries would all collapse under a burst of spiritual power; Spirit Abyss Realm is the Titled Douluo level of spiritual power.
So he personally can’t participate in competitions, but the imagined characters can.
