"Mom!"

"Mom!"

In the end, unfortunately, Huo Yuhao failed to suppress the sense of closeness welling up from his heart.

He couldn't help becoming Wa Xuedi.

The Red-clad Little Girl stood in the middle of the Glazed Path, the brightest color in this world. Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, a puzzled expression appeared on her delicate face.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Golden Tortoise in the Sea of Consciousness hurriedly covered their mouths as well.

Because neither of them had been able to hold back just now, crying out and becoming obedient little balls.

In truth, no matter who it was, as long as they were a life born on Douluo Star, seeing the girl before them would make them instinctively call out, "Mom."

It was an impulse born from the soul, life's pursuit and love for its origin.

Electrolux, however, felt nothing of the sort. He merely found the little girl before him sacred.

That was mainly because Electrolux counted as a harmless foreign species.

Of course, there was also another kind of harmful invasive foreign species.

The Red-clad Little Girl looked gently at Huo Yuhao with eyes like obsidian.

It was the gaze of an entire world. Huo Yuhao felt that none of his secrets could remain hidden.

Or rather, he instinctively had not put up any guard against her, just as a child would not maliciously deceive his mother.

That gaze was exceptionally clear, seeing straight through Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness. Yet it was not sharp; instead, it made the Sea of Consciousness feel especially comfortable.

Her gaze paused in turn upon Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Golden Tortoise.

Tian Meng, that useless Ice Silkworm, immediately shed Little Pearls.

Golden Tortoise trembled all over and remained motionless. It instinctively wanted to pull its head back in, but its brain stopped it.

Its brain—and even fate itself—forcefully held Golden Tortoise's body in place, making it bathe under the Planet Will's gaze.

Soon, the little girl's gaze shifted to Electrolux.

This time, it was no longer so gentle. Her sharp gaze carefully scanned every part of the Gray Sphere.

Electrolux was, after all, only a remnant soul. Facing a Planet Will directly placed him under immense pressure.

The air currents around the Gray Sphere instinctively concealed its body, and the two spheres remained locked in silent stalemate.

But soon, the Red-clad Little Girl revealed a smile and stopped examining Electrolux.

Ever since that harmful invasive foreign species Ten Thousand Years Ago had taught her a brutal lesson—

She had remained wary of outsiders and would no longer casually let anyone in.

Of course, if they were foreign refugees who would not endanger the Plane itself, she was still willing to accept them after determining they were safe.

Thus, after confirming that Electrolux would not harm Huo Yuhao or this Plane, she chose to accept him.

The little girl lightly stepped forward, stretched out her hand, then pushed off with her toes, wanting to stroke Huo Yuhao's head.

But she discovered that she was not tall enough, and a regretful expression appeared on her delicate face.

Huo Yuhao looked at her gently, took the initiative to crouch down, and placed her hand on his head.

A clearly delighted smile appeared on Loli Planet Will's face as she rubbed Huo Yuhao's tousled black hair.

"Good child."

The incomparably ethereal and gentle voice filled Huo Yuhao's spirit with joy.

However, at that moment, because the ball and the person were so close, Huo Yuhao clearly saw that the otherwise flawless dress was covered in dense black spots!

The black spots spread upward from the hem of her skirt, leaking ominous and profane auras.

An inexplicable rage rose within Huo Yuhao's heart.

It was not just Huo Yuhao. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Golden Tortoise also saw the black spots on the Planet Will through Spiritual Power.

The two of them were equally furious!

It was like children personally witnessing someone bully their mother, desperately wanting to tear that person apart, humiliate them, rape them!

Even Electrolux, an outsider, could barely restrain himself. His divine consciousness could clearly sense that those ominous black spots were an erosion of the Planet Will.

Someone—or some existence—was slowly attempting to possess an entire world.

"Quack! Who hurt my mom?!"

"Brother's going to burst him to death with Spiritual Power!!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm clutched his hair, unable to bear seeing such a scene.

Their Ice Silkworm clan was like America's Black Buddy—once born, they never got to see their parents.

This was the first time Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had truly experienced a gaze that carried a mother's concern.

At this moment, he finally understood why he had been so obsessed with Ice Empress.

It was because he lacked love and yearned for someone to care about him.

After being hunted by Ice Empress for years, just as Yuhao had once explained with Stockholm Syndrome and the Bridge Effect, he had mistaken Ice Empress's strength for love!

Only now that he had truly felt a mother's love did he realize how absurdly wrong he had been.

And now, seeing that mother-like figure being harmed, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was utterly enraged!

"Brother Sky Dream, calm down. Let's see what Yuhao says."

Golden Tortoise hurriedly pressed down on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm with its body, preventing him from having an episode at a time like this.

Outside, Huo Yuhao looked gravely at the black spots on the Planet Will's body.

He asked seriously, "Who is it?"

"Where are they now?"

In truth, Huo Yuhao knew who was treating Douluo Star's Plane Consciousness this way.

Other than Buddha Tang, he could not find a second person capable of doing such a thing.

The Red-clad Little Girl gently stroked Huo Yuhao's cheek and said softly:

"Not yet."

"It's still too dangerous."

Huo Yuhao looked into her bright, watery eyes and said sternly:

"I'm not stupid. Of course I won't go now."

"At least let me know where the enemy is!"

After hesitating for a moment, the little girl gently leaned closer. The forehead of the person and the ball lightly touched.

The image of all Douluo Star instantly flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind, until two locations slowly emerged.

One was Sea God Island at Shrek Academy, where a Golden Ancient Tree stood tall.

The other was also in the Heaven Dou Empire, not far from Heaven Dou City. At the heart of a mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist stood an ancient castle—Clear Sky Fortress, or rather, Clear Sky Sect.

These places did not surprise Huo Yuhao.

After all, Tang Shenwang's main methods had all been arranged in these two places.

No, Qiankun Love Valley should be added as well.

Damn it, Tang San had ascended to the God Realm from Douluo Continent. Forget repaying Douluo Star—why were all his dirty tricks aimed at Douluo Star?

Especially when he had that utterly ridiculous ten-thousand-year plan.

The first lesson after getting ashore—forget your roots, huh.

Huo Yuhao continued asking her, "How many people are currently eroding you?"

The little girl twisted her fingers together. "One at present. Another is preparing."

"They want to obtain the Life Essence first."

Huo Yuhao nodded, roughly understanding Douluo Star's current situation.

The Golden Ancient Tree was likely being used by Tang San to slowly bore into the treasury of Douluo Star's Life Essence.

Ah Yin, once the Blue Silver Emperor, probably still did not dare to openly possess the Life Core.

With the God of Destruction around, Tang San still could not cover the heavens with one hand in the God Realm.

Tang Hao was likely in the preparation stage, waiting for Tang San's orders.

Afterward, Huo Yuhao hesitated slightly, unsure whether he should ask the doubt in his heart.

He did not understand why the Planet Will treated him so well.

Clearly, he should have been an outsider much like Electrolux.

The Red-clad Little Girl seemed to see through Huo Yuhao's confusion. Cupping his cheeks in her little hands, she whispered:

"Because you gave me form and gave me consciousness."

"Lord of Spirits—who is now, who was before, and who will be forever."
