Chapter 39: Bewitching
Although Huo Yuhao was somewhat disappointed to learn that he could no longer easily use the Guardian of Life, he was still somewhat relieved to know that he had already comprehended the laws.
The long-standing responsibility on his shoulders has suddenly become much lighter, and Huo Yuhao is now free from the bottleneck of level 99 to 100.
The promises made to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the Two Emperors of Ice and Snow have been largely fulfilled, and there is no need to worry about how to handle the position of the God of Emotions anymore.
On the Douluo Continent, a Soul Master can only possess one Godhood, meaning that a person can only comprehend one law. The Godhood of Emotions is no longer relevant to him.
However, the Divine Abyss greatly shocked Huo Yuhao. What was the origin of this divine artifact that had accompanied him through his transmigration, that it could help him condense the laws?
In addition, looking at the fragments of divine positions left by the phantom of the Grim Reaper in his hand, Huo Yuhao had some new ideas. He remembered that this thing seemed to be the core of the future Spirit Ascension Platform.
In the God Realm, Tang San's plans were disrupted once again, as Huo Yuhao's self-completion of godhood shocked him once more.
The original plan was for Rong Nianbing to pass on the position of God of Emotions to Huo Yuhao.
On the one hand, it would make Rong Nianbing, who was eager to leave the God Realm, feel indebted to him, and on the other hand, it would make Huo Yuhao feel grateful to him.
Now that the plan has failed again, they can't very well let Huo Yuhao inherit the alternative dual godhood like themselves, and besides, there are no soul beasts to sacrifice for him.
Thinking of this, Tang San suddenly glanced at the auspicious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, and another plan arose in his mind.
Little did they know that it was this plan that gave the future Soul Beast race a new lease on life, and that Tang Shenwang thus completely lost control of the Douluo Continent.
On Huo Yuhao's way back to the camp, Dai Hao somewhat nervously approached the tent where Xuanzi and Yan Shaozhe were temporarily resting.
"I apologize for disturbing your rest, seniors. May I ask if you could reveal some information about the Mingdou Mountains? If I'm not mistaken, that level of fluctuation just now must have been the result of a divine battle."
Xuanzi and Yan Shaozhe had only recently recovered from their shock. Xuanzi had regained his senses and realized something was wrong when they returned to the Xingluo camp.
Just as Xuanzi had awakened Yan Shaozhe, he saw two enormous figures radiating divine power clashing in the distance.
As a level 98 Super Douluo, he had a much deeper understanding of the god-level than Dai Hao, knowing that it was a battle he could never participate in.
Even though she knew the identity of the white-clad figure, she was still very worried about Huo Yuhao's safety.
"Your title of Duke is well-deserved; you do have some insight, being able to discern that the battle just now was at the god-level."
Seeing the white phantom win, Xuanzi relaxed a lot and returned to his carefree self. After taking a bite of a chicken leg, he casually replied.
"After all, my ancestors also reached that level, and there are some records of it in the books. However, I have noticed that Pavilion Master Huo has not returned. I wonder if it has anything to do with him."
Seeing Dai Hao's somewhat tentative response, Yan Shaozhe, knowing that Xuanzi was not good at these things, immediately chimed in.
"The Duke's deductions are quite accurate, but it's not wise to speculate on a conflict of this caliber. I've already contacted Elder Mu, and we'll wait for him to ascertain the situation before coordinating with the Star Luo Royal Family."
Upon hearing that Yan Shaozhe had elevated the message to the level of direct communication with the royal family, Dai Hao refrained from asking any further questions.
Silently elevating Huo Yuhao's importance to another level in his heart, he temporarily returned to his own tent.
But in a corner where no one was paying attention, a black phantom, no bigger than a squirrel, flashed by.
"Damn it, during the battle just now, some fragments of the law must have fallen into that kid's hands. If we can't get those fragments back, it will take at least five thousand years to repair the original godhood."
This black phantom was an extremely small portion of the Death God's divine consciousness that Huo Yuhao temporarily separated before he went to the cave, having detected the fluctuations in his divine sense.
Huo Yuhao had been concealing his divine sense, and by the time the Death God's clone discovered him, it was too late to make any further preparations.
Before Huo Yuhao returned to the camp, the tiny divine sense explored the surrounding camp and finally selected Dai Yueheng, who was resting in a tent.
"Since you hate that kid so much, you'll be the next Grim Reaper. If your divine sense hadn't been so severely damaged, you wouldn't be in that situation. Your martial soul doesn't even have a trace of death attribute."
With no other choice, the phantom of death swiftly entered Dai Yueheng's body.
This time, it was no longer a simple possession like that of a death messenger, but a true integration into the depths of Dai Yueheng's spiritual sea.
This part of the divine consciousness was too small, and it would probably dissipate if it didn't possess someone else. Knowing that Huo Yuhao possessed divine consciousness, the Death God phantom could only choose this method of fusion that would not be detected.
"Dai Yueheng, Huo Yuhao destroyed everything you had, took away your position as Duke of the White Tiger, killed your brother, and is now on the verge of your mother's death. Do you want revenge?"
Upon learning that the boy who destroyed his clone's consciousness was named Huo Yuhao, the Death God clone immediately called out to Dai Yueheng in his spiritual sea.
The voice suddenly appeared in Dai Yueheng's mind, and then his consciousness entered the sea of his mind.
Hearing the seductive whispers of the Grim Reaper and thinking of everything he had lost, Dai Yueheng instantly regained his spirits, and his heart began to pound violently.
The moment he saw the phantom of Death, his initial excitement instantly subsided, and the ripples in his mind gradually calmed down.
Having just witnessed Huo Yuhao's battle with him, Dai Yueheng naturally knew what kind of person he was; he was the culprit who had killed tens of thousands of Xingluo people.
Dai Yueheng was immediately caught in a great internal struggle.
On one hand, there is the successful revenge and the acquisition of the White Tiger Duke's position; on the other hand, there is the father he has admired since childhood and the education he has received over the years.
Seeing Dai Yueheng hesitate, the phantom of the Grim Reaper, who had seen her memories, tempted her again:
"What are you still hesitating for? Your father has already given up on you. Do you want to die one day at the hands of some powerful person who wants to curry favor with Huo Yuhao?"
"Think about how much you've sacrificed for the position of Duke over the years. You've been cultivating so diligently every day, yet you're not as highly regarded by the family as Dai Huabin for his single Martial Soul Fusion Technique."
"You finally reached level 60, but because of that good-for-nothing Dai Huabin, your future was ruined. In order to curry favor with Huo Yuhao, the family even regarded you as a jinx."
"In what way do you lack compared to Dai Luoli? He's just an illegitimate son, yet he's trying to steal your position. Are you truly content with this kind of life?"
Seeing that Dai Yueheng remained silent, the Death Clone decided to add fuel to the fire.
"Once you start to use my power, all you need are the corpses of your enemies who have offended you, and I can help you increase the age of your first few spirit rings."
"You will gain power surpassing everyone else and reclaim everything you once had."
"It's not impossible, if you want, to become a god like your ancestor."
