Reborn as the Holy Spirit Cult's Holy Son

A Level Ten Soul Engineer, as well as the complete Battle Armor that would appear ten thousand years later—those were his goals in the field of Soul Tools.

Because he had not paid much attention to the Douluo Continent after ascending to the Divine Realm, and Douluo Star had always been under Tang San's control, leaving him unable to intervene, Huo Yuhao had continued studying Ye Xishui's Death God Pagoda even while in the Divine Realm.

It was precisely through researching the Death God Pagoda that he created the two divine artifacts, the Death Ray Pagoda and the Spirit Transmission Pagoda.

At that thought, Huo Yuhao's emotions could not help but stir.

But Huo Yuhao quickly regained his composure.

Scorpion Tiger Douluo emerged from inside at that moment.

Huo Yuhao had already withdrawn his Spiritual Detection, so Scorpion Tiger Douluo did not sense his Spiritual Power.

He looked at Huo Yuhao and, after a brief hesitation, said, "In a moment, I'll take you to meet someone. Whatever he asks you, answer truthfully. Otherwise, I can't guarantee I'll be able to keep you safe."

Huo Yuhao still did not know why Scorpion Tiger Douluo had brought him back, but there were only three people Scorpion Tiger Douluo could be taking him to meet.

The Holy Spirit Cult's Grand Supreme Leader, Death God Douluo Ye Xishui; Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao; and Ye Xishui's son, Zhongli Wu, the Holy Spirit Cult's Cult Leader, who also bore the title Death God.

Which one was Scorpion Tiger Douluo taking him to see?

Logically, it should be Zhongli Wu. Given Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao's strength and seniority, it should not have come to them to meet someone like him.

Even with Huo Yuhao's mind, he could not imagine why Scorpion Tiger Douluo would introduce him to Zhongli Wu.

In Scorpion Tiger Douluo's eyes, he should have been nothing more than an ordinary one-ring Soul Master.

Even if he wanted to recruit Huo Yuhao into the Holy Spirit Cult, it would have been a trivial matter for someone of Scorpion Tiger Douluo's status.

With such doubts in mind, Huo Yuhao slowly followed Scorpion Tiger Douluo deeper inside.

Upon entering the enormous hall, all he could see was darkness.

Seated high above on a throne ahead was a middle-aged man in black, his posture somewhat indolent.

His short silver hair was composed of fine strands that looked as hard as steel needles.

He was actually rather handsome. Judging by his appearance alone, one could not sense the aura of an Evil Soul Master from him.

Huo Yuhao had met Zhongli Wu in his previous life and recognized him at a glance.

Scorpion Tiger Douluo bowed to Zhongli Wu, then said, "Reporting to the Cult Leader, this is the youth I mentioned."

"Oh? If Scorpion Tiger Attendant finds him extraordinary, he must possess some special ability." Zhongli Wu looked casually toward Huo Yuhao as an indescribable pressure descended.

Huo Yuhao had only glanced at Zhongli Wu when he first entered before quickly lowering his head, pretending to be frightened.

As Zhongli Wu released his pressure, the gray orb within Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea of Consciousness trembled, wisps of aura escaping from it.

"This aura... is it the fluctuation of the Undead?"

An aged voice came from within the gray orb, but it echoed only through the Spiritual Sea of Consciousness.

At the same time, Zhongli Wu abruptly rose to his feet, his expression excited.

"This... is the aura of Holy Power. He... he is the Holy Son?"

Scorpion Tiger Douluo beside Huo Yuhao was startled as well.

The legends of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Son were known to nearly everyone in the Holy Spirit Cult, for they were part of its doctrine.

The power used by Evil Soul Masters was what the Holy Spirit Cult called Holy Power.

But in truth, only the upper ranks knew that the Holy Emperor and Holy Son were merely legends, while Holy Power was simply a term used to distinguish them from ordinary Soul Masters.

Yet just now, though it had vanished in an instant, they had clearly sensed a power from Huo Yuhao capable of destroying souls.

According to the legends, the Holy Emperor had founded the Holy Spirit Cult and left behind a prophecy: the Holy Son would appear and lead the Holy Spirit Cult.

Huo Yuhao did know about this.

Ten thousand years later, Tang San's son, Tang Wulin, came to Douluo to gild his résumé. Tang Wulin, who had inherited Tang San's temperament, had actually always been under the protection of Tang Hao, who had already become the Plane Master.

Meanwhile, the Holy Spirit Cult's Underworld Emperor, Ha Luosa, was the Son of the Plane ten thousand years later.

Tang Hao was the Plane Master, Ha Luosa was the Son of the Plane, and most importantly, everyone in the Holy Spirit Cult could use Ring Detonation. Their connection was obvious at a glance.

The so-called Holy Emperor had originally been Tang Hao, while Ha Luosa was the true Holy Son.

In his previous life, the Holy Spirit Cult had regarded him as the Holy Son only because of Electrolux's power.

But upon hearing Zhongli Wu mention the Holy Son now, Huo Yuhao immediately understood. It was Electrolux's power that had made Scorpion Tiger Douluo believe he possessed some special trait.

That was why he had brought him to the Holy Spirit Cult.

But why Scorpion Tiger Douluo had appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest was still a question.

Now that Zhongli Wu knew he was the so-called "Holy Son," however, it would likely become even harder for him to leave the Holy Spirit Cult.

In his previous life, Zhongli Wu had wanted to turn him into a puppet. In this life, he was only a one-ring Soul Master; Zhongli Wu definitely would not let him go.

Just as Huo Yuhao was considering the perfect way to escape, Zhongli Wu shifted his gaze away from him, looked at Scorpion Tiger Douluo, and nodded slightly.

"Scorpion Tiger Attendant, you handled this very well. You found the Holy Son for our cult, a tremendous contribution. Have another attendant complete your previous mission in your place."

"Thank you, Cult Leader!" Scorpion Tiger Douluo bowed to Zhongli Wu.

Huo Yuhao's heart stirred.

It seemed Scorpion Tiger Douluo had appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest because Zhongli Wu had sent him on some mission. But Huo Yuhao's leaking aura had drawn Scorpion Tiger Douluo over, which was why he had been brought back.

He just did not know what sort of mission would require a Super Douluo like Scorpion Tiger Douluo to carry it out.

But he had no way to investigate such matters now, and they had nothing to do with him anyway.

His most urgent priority was to find a way to leave the Holy Spirit Cult as soon as possible, lest Zhongli Wu control him.

At that moment, a tall old man slowly emerged from the depths of the darkness.

The instant Huo Yuhao saw the old man, his spirits lifted.

The old man was hale and vigorous, tall in stature, with silver hair combed flawlessly into place. Long eyebrows hung down along both sides of his face, and his hands rested behind his back. He released not the slightest fluctuation of Soul Power, appearing no different from an ordinary old man.

But to Huo Yuhao, this might be an opportunity to avoid using his trump card!

This old man was the Holy Spirit Cult's Grand Elder, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao.

Long Xiaoyao was also almost the only person in the Holy Spirit Cult who did not participate in its affairs, was not counted among the Evil Soul Masters, and possessed an upright character and principles in his actions.

In his previous life, Huo Yuhao had been deceived by Shrek Academy and Mu En, and had always harbored prejudice against Long Xiaoyao.

Only after recovering his true self in the end did he discover the lies.
