Chapter 213 Gu Yuena: There's one more thing.
Chapter 213 Gu Yuena: There's one more thing.
Chapter 213 Gu Yuena: There's one more thing.
Huo Yuhao adjusted his posture to make it easier for Xu Jiujiu before responding.
"You go back with them first. I need to go to another place. Once we get there, I'll have Sister Xiaoya give you specific instructions on what to do."
Upon hearing the seemingly random "Sister Xiaoya" come out of Huo Yuhao's mouth again, Xu Jiujiu's gentle massage paused slightly, and he subconsciously ground his back teeth.
However, she still wore a gentle smile on her face, nodded slightly, and said softly:
"Okay, whatever you say."
Before Xu Jiujiu could say anything more, the door, which had been locked, suddenly made a crisp click as the key turned, followed by a clear, ethereal voice.
"Yuhao, before you do anything else, there's something even more important that needs to be addressed first."
Gu Yuena walked slowly into the room. After her gaze swept over the scene on the sofa, her eyebrows subconsciously twitched slightly.
But when he thought about what he and Zhang Lexuan had done yesterday, which was even more outrageous, he forcibly suppressed the slight dissatisfaction that had just risen in his heart.
After all, I did something so outrageous yesterday, so I need to be more magnanimous now.
"Is there anything else?"
Huo Yuhao subconsciously sat up straight, temporarily pulling himself out of that intoxicating comfort, and for a moment did not understand the true meaning of Gu Yuena's words.
Recently, apart from stabilizing the dragon souls of the sisters Gu Xiyue and Gu Moxin, there shouldn't be anything else of great importance.
Gu Yuena glanced at Xu Jiujiu without leaving a trace.
The astute Xu Jiujiu immediately understood the meaning in the other person's eyes.
Clearly, the conversation that followed was beyond her control and understanding.
But when he thought that the other party might be the legendary ruler of the soul beasts, he naturally couldn't muster any anger.
She gently pinched Huo Yuhao's cheek and then spoke in a perfectly timed tone:
"Since you have important matters to discuss, I'll take my leave now. I'll go back and prepare the things I need to take with me tomorrow."
"I estimate we'll be staying in your Spirit Pagoda for several years now, so we'll have plenty of time to explore later."
The rest of his words were spoken very softly, his warm breath like a feather gently brushing past Huo Yuhao's ear, carrying an unusually alluring meaning.
Huo Yuhao's body stiffened slightly, and he could only nod blankly, unsure whether he was responding to her earlier words or accepting the suggestive invitation that followed.
After a long while, she changed back into her original dress and left the room with a graceful sway, as if the transition had been seamless.
Gu Yuena smoothly took over the position that had been occupied by Xu Jiujiu, gently pressing Huo Yuhao's shoulders to make him lie down again.
A slightly amused voice rang out above his head.
"How is it? I just took a close look, and mine is a little bit bigger than that one. Isn't it more comfortable to lie down with than hers?"
Feeling the equally soft and even larger ball of dough resting on the back of his head, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly, wisely avoiding this extremely dangerous topic.
"So what exactly is this matter you mentioned that needs to be resolved immediately? Has something gone wrong with Gu Moxin and her sister?"
"No, it was that wisp of Tang San's consciousness within Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea that caused a violent disturbance."
Gu Yuena shook her head, lowered her eyes slightly, the playfulness on her face disappeared, and her voice became more serious.
"Just now, I sensed that the fluctuation of that divine sense was unusually intense. If I hadn't acted in time to reinforce the barrier, it probably would have broken free directly."
"Didn't you once tell me that Tang San once split Wang Dong'er's soul again and placed it into the auspicious beast?"
Only after undergoing attribute transference with you did the auspicious beast's fate fluctuate greatly, allowing Tang San's contingency plan left in the lower realm to successfully achieve this.
Gu Yuena paused for a moment, then added.
"I speculate that it is because Wang Dong'er and the auspicious beast have been staying in the same small space, and the auspicious beast has already completed the attribute connection with you, that the trajectory of their fate has been fundamentally changed."
Under this chain reaction, the wisp of divine consciousness that Tang San left in Wang Dong'er's body reacted so violently.
Upon hearing that this matter was related to Dong'er, Qiu'er, and Di Ruiqiu, Huo Yuhao's face instantly darkened, and he subconsciously tried to get up.
"Initially, I only asked you and Elder Yi to seal Tang San's consciousness, mainly to avoid alerting him and making his physical body aware of the situation. But now it seems that this decision has done more harm than good."
This was a divine consciousness that Tang San from the God Realm had specially separated and left in Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea.
This can be said to bypass the restrictions of the rules of the God Realm, and it is one of the few ways that Tang San of the God Realm can directly intervene in the lower realm.
At the very beginning, after Yi Laosu woke up, Huo Yuhao immediately asked him to make corresponding arrangements for that wisp of Tang San's divine consciousness.
The layers of seals laid down by Gu Yuena's power can not only eliminate the subtle influence of Tang San's divine consciousness on Wang Dong'er.
More importantly, it can cause that wisp of divine consciousness to have a false perception, mistakenly believing that everything in the outside world is normal as before.
In most cases, Tang San from the God Realm would not take the initiative to contact this wisp of divine consciousness left in the lower realm.
Without relying on the central hub of the divine realm, this proactive connection across planes would undoubtedly consume a large amount of the already limited energy remaining in the divine consciousness.
At that time, unless Wang Dong'er is brought back to the God Realm or replenished through the God Realm's central hub, Tang San will not have a good way to replenish the energy of this wisp of divine consciousness.
In addition, considering the time difference between one year in the lower realm and one day in the divine realm, Huo Yuhao did not initially intend to directly erase that wisp of divine consciousness, but instead chose this more reliable sealing method.
However, Tang San's consciousness has already gone berserk.
Whether or not Tang San's main body sensed it, continuing to retain that wisp of divine consciousness would undoubtedly be a huge disaster.
Just as Gu Yuena said, it must be completely eliminated as soon as possible.
This can be considered an important means of eliminating Tang San's interference in the mortal realm from the divine realm in advance.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's solemn expression as he was about to get up, Gu Yuena gently tightened her grip on his shoulder, making him lie back down comfortably, and continued speaking in a steady voice.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry. I just contacted Elder Yi about this matter, and with his methods and some of my ideas, we should be able to find a better way to handle it than simply erasing that wisp of divine consciousness."
Huo Yuhao's furrowed brows did not completely relax, and a hint of inquiry remained in his eyes as he pressed on:
"Your idea? Is there any better way than to completely eliminate this hidden danger?"
"Of course there are."
Gu Yuena didn't answer immediately. She gathered her thoughts before explaining softly.
"You should know that ever since the Sea God successfully condensed his divine position and ascended to the God Realm, the control of the entire ocean in the Douluo Plane has been entirely in the Sea God's hands. Even the plane's consciousness itself can no longer mobilize the energy of the ocean."
"As long as the divine realm still exists and still governs its subordinate planes, it will not cause any major problems."
According to what you said before, in your original destiny line, the God Realm encountered an irresistible spacetime turbulence.
I strongly suspect that in the subsequent developments, the realm of gods may have disappeared altogether, or completely lost contact with the lower realms.
"So what you mean is?"
Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely grasped something, causing his brows to furrow even deeper.
As if anticipating his inner thoughts, Gu Yuena's calm voice continued.
"Simply relying on that wisp of the Sea God's consciousness is naturally insufficient to unleash the power of the ocean in this plane. However, under the premise of the disappearance of the divine realm and the fall of the Sea God, it is undoubtedly a key of sufficient importance."
At this point, Gu Yuena paused, then changed the subject and added:
"After you became the God of Emotions in your previous life, the fortune of the Douluo plane that you carried will return to the plane again."
We must prepare for the worst: that once you return to your original destiny line, the dimensional consciousness will no longer favor you.
"And if you want to revive Qiu'er, then the destiny of the original Douluo plane is an absolutely indispensable part. And the most important point..."
Gu Yuena hugged Huo Yuhao even tighter, and her originally calm tone became slightly turbulent.
"In my other destiny, her creation godhood and your destruction godhood merged to become a complete dragon god. Therefore, she will definitely try every means to devour you."
"As for my injuries, according to my own estimation, it will only take about ten thousand years to fully recover. Without the favor of this plane, it would be extremely dangerous for you to encounter her when she has fully recovered."
Gu Yuena's voice became even lower.
"To be honest, if I had a choice, I wouldn't want you to go back. But the stronger you are, the more energy you need to traverse time and space, and the more difficult it will be to return to your original destiny line."
As the inheritor of the Dragon God's wisdom, Gu Yuena naturally understood what it meant for the Supreme God King to take another step forward, and she also understood why the old Dragon God chose to retreat after seeing the River of Destiny.
That is true dimensional transcendence, which means completely breaking free from all the fate lines of the lower dimensions. Naturally, there is no possibility that the transcendent can continue to interfere in the affairs of the lower dimensions.
If Huo Yuhao wants to return to his original destiny, he naturally cannot be too strong. Otherwise, the energy required to cross time and space would be difficult to obtain even if the entire Douluo Continent were emptied.
Aside from Huo Yuhao's desire to completely revive Qiu'er, Gu Yuena also supported Huo Yuhao's return to another destiny line.
It also lies in the fact that another version of her wants to devour Huo Yuhao. Can't Huo Yuhao turn the tables and devour her instead?
The Destruction Godhead within Huo Yuhao's body has undergone unpredictable changes after being affected by the spatial-temporal turbulence.
After devouring the original Godhead of Creation on the original timeline, Gu Yuena was also curious about how far Huo Yuhao would ultimately go with it.
"..."
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say in response.
After a long while, he finally raised the corners of his lips and revealed a gentle smile.
"Don't let Qiu'er know about this yet, otherwise, knowing her personality, she'll worry about me all the time. As for the other matter concerning you, I'll be extremely careful when the time comes."
Seeing his feigned nonchalance, Gu Yuena lowered her head slightly, subconsciously taking his hand at her side, interlocking their fingers, and slowly spoke:
"Zhang Lexuan is right. You just like to shoulder all the difficult things by yourself."
It wouldn't matter if it were anyone else, but given our relationship, even if I can't go with you, I will still leave you with enough means to protect your life.
However, you still need to remember that everything should be done within your capabilities. Neither I nor anyone else wants anything to happen to you.
"But Qiu'er should be able to keep an eye on you and won't let you do anything too dangerous."
Rewinding slightly to half an hour earlier, to Shrek Academy's exclusive restaurant inside the Star Emperor Hotel.
The air was filled with the rich aroma of food. Various delicacies, carefully prepared by the top chefs of the Xingluo Royal Family, filled the entire table, gleaming with an enticing sheen that made one's mouth water.
Even though everyone had been staying here for a month because of the Soul Master Competition, the hotel kitchen still managed to offer almost no repetition of the daily menu, fully demonstrating the Star Luo royal family's wealth and hospitality.
Sitting on either side of Xianlin'er at this moment are two blonde girls who look extremely similar.
Faced with the delicious food on the table, their attitudes were completely different.
Compared to Qiu'er's refined and elegant eating manners, Di Ruiqiu's behavior was much more exaggerated.
In front of her, an empty plate piled up like a small mountain.
It's fair to say that most of the food on the table ended up in her stomach.
Qiu'er wiped the oil stains from the corner of her lips with a napkin, her golden eyes gleaming slightly, her tone carrying a hint of mockery.
"Can't you be a little more mindful of your image? Eating so fast, like a starving ghost reincarnated, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
With her mouth stuffed full of food, Dira could only let out muffled whimpers as she struggled to chew. Finally managing to swallow, she retorted with a sense of righteous indignation:
"It's all because their food was so delicious, and completely different from yesterday's dishes. Compared to that, I don't even know what kind of hard life I had before."
No wonder Sister Gu Yuena didn't want to go back. If it were me, I wouldn't want to go back either!
