He reached out with his right hand and touched it.
Huo Yuhao's pupils widened instantly. Countless voices, countless memories echoed through his mind. This white world seemed to have suddenly been struck by raging waves, beginning to tremble violently.
"What is that? How could this happen?"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice was somewhat panicked. Clearly, he had no idea what was happening.
The gray ball of light, meanwhile, fell silent.
Buzz—
Huo Yuhao seemed to return to that dream from long ago: his battle against Sea God Tang San, his clashes with the gods of the Divine Realm, the friends closest to him dying one after another, the betrayal of his beloved...
Everything he had experienced, everything he had borne, everything he had lost—all of it came flooding back!
"The despair and agony of becoming no longer myself, and the sorrowful sigh after finding myself again."
Even if Time Reversal had erased his memories, they would never truly vanish. Those things, all of them, had been carved deep into his soul.
"Even if everything else disappears completely, I will never forget this pain."
Huo Yuhao raised his head, crying and laughing at once as tears slid from the corners of his eyes.
He was Huo Yuhao. He was the God of Emotions. He was an avenger who had returned from the endless river of time!
He remembered everything!
After the Divine Realm underwent the Chaos Transformation[1], many gods benefited from that crisis.
Huo Yuhao was among them.
Using chaotic energy, he created the Divine Tool Eye of Eternity.
But during its creation, due to the Eye of Eternity's unique nature, Huo Yuhao's soul was drawn into another world known as Blue Star. There, his soul was cleansed, allowing him to recover his original consciousness.
Afterward, Huo Yuhao concealed himself. On one hand, he continued pretending that he had not recovered, deceiving everyone. On the other, he secretly developed the Eye of Eternity's ultimate ability.
Finally, when a rare opportunity arose, Huo Yuhao raised the banner of rebellion and brazenly confronted Tang San.
However, he stood alone. Even Tang Wutong resolutely sided with Tang San without the slightest hesitation.
Two fists could not defeat four hands, and Huo Yuhao was ultimately defeated.
But Huo Yuhao's true goal had never been to resist Tang San. It was... restoration.
To restore the entire world to its very beginning—this was the Eye of Eternity's ultimate ability, his final trump card.
He succeeded.
With the Eye of Eternity, the core of the God Realm Core, and every hidden move he had arranged, the restoration was finally achieved.
But the price was that the Eye of Eternity would fall dormant, while he himself would lose all his memories and begin again from scratch.
Yet Huo Yuhao did not care about that price.
Just as he had muttered to himself before, even if everything else vanished completely, he would never forget this pain.
And now... Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes.
A blazing fire of vengeance ignited in the avenger's eyes.
The face of what had once been a simple, honest youth twisted into the hideous visage of a demon.
Having recovered his memories, Huo Yuhao also knew who the two residents within his Spiritual Sea were.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux.
One was his friend, while the other was his teacher.
But now, he had something else to do.
As everyone knew, silkworms had sexes as well.
Yet the Ice Silkworm clan that lived in the Extreme North was an exception. They had no distinction between sexes at all.
Remembering what Tian Meng had said before his death in his previous life, Huo Yuhao now understood.
Among the hidden arrangements Tang San had made was Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
It was simply that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm himself did not know it.
Although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had gained intelligence, because Ice Silkworms differed from ordinary silkworms, he had never possessed any awareness of his own sex. When Huo Yuhao first met him in his previous life, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had already referred to himself as "bro."
Because the Eye of Eternity's reversal of time had caused an imbalance in Time and Space between the Douluo Plane and the Divine Realm, Tang San was absolutely unable to observe Douluo Continent at present.
But this imbalance in Time and Space would not last long. Before the Douluo Plane and the Divine Realm reestablished their connection, Huo Yuhao had to arrange everything. Only then could he accumulate strength and take revenge on Tang San.
During this time, if he could not completely cut away Tang San's wings, he at least had to remove those closest to himself.
For example, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Three-Eyed Golden Lion. And... himself.
From the very beginning, Tang San had been unable to accurately detect his existence.
It was only when he had tried to probe Wang Dong'er's Spiritual Sea of Consciousness in his previous life that he had been detected by the Divine Sense Tang San had left behind within her Spiritual Sea of Consciousness.
That was also when Tang San began secretly planting influences within him, causing him to become no longer himself.
Or rather, no longer purely himself.
Huo Yuhao now knew just how many bastardly things he had done.
But in this life, what he intended to do was not some so-called compensation.
He would live only for himself. For revenge, for himself, and to make up for every regret, he would make use of everything.
Nothing was beyond being used. That was how he would survive in this life.
Strictly speaking, after Huo Yuhao successfully refined the Eye of Eternity, this Transcendent Divine Tool, and combined it with the energy of the entire Divine Realm, its rank had already surpassed the level of a Transcendent Divine Tool.
The reason a portion of the Soul Power he cultivated after awakening his Martial Soul disappeared like a muddy bull entering the sea was also to unseal part of the Eye of Eternity's seals.
The Eye of Eternity had twelve seals in total. The first was unsealed when he awakened his Martial Soul, while the second, unsealed through absorbing Soul Power, brought him cultivation methods such as the Mysterious Heaven Skill, allowing him to catch up in the early stages.
And he would not need to become entangled with the Tang Sect. That was the most important thing.
Although the Tang Sect's decline was historically inevitable, it was also the result of the underhanded schemes of Tang San, that so-called founding ancestor.
His travels through that mysterious world had made Huo Yuhao realize even more clearly that Tang San was not originally from this world.
Huo Yuhao's thoughts drifted far away, but he had not forgotten his current circumstances.
He had successfully encountered Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and obtained a Soul Ring.
Because of the imbalance in Time and Space, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had not yet become fixed in the way he had in Huo Yuhao's previous life. He was highly malleable, a completely natural Ice Silkworm without any additives.
Just as in his previous life, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm still gave him four spiritual skills, along with an unfinished Ice Attribute Second Martial Soul.
Now that he had secured the most basic stakes, it was time to begin laying out his plans.
To contend against a god, he naturally needed god-level strength. With the Divine Tool Eye of Eternity, Huo Yuhao did not need to worry about the lack of an available divine position.
