"Sect Master, she... Her innate soul power is only Rank 1..."
A Body Sect elder reminded him cautiously.
"This is what confuses me most."
"By rights, with the potential of this Spirit Eye, she should have at least Rank 8 Innate Soul Power, if not Innate Full Soul Power."
Du Busi rubbed his chin and muttered in puzzlement:
"But in the thousand-year history of our Body Sect, we've never seen a Spirit Attribute Mutated Body Martial Soul. I can't say for sure what's going on!"
"Innate Soul Power is simply the energy one is born with..."
Suddenly, Du Busi's eyes lit up. "The Spirit Eye is essentially a combination of the eyes and the brain, and their shared trait is Spiritual Power!"
"Sect Master, you mean that most of the little girl's innate energy was converted into pure Spiritual Power, which is why her Innate Soul Power is only Rank 1?"
A tall, mature woman with a pair of long legs furrowed her brows slightly and asked slowly.
Her title was Bow Waist, and she was the only female elder in the Body Sect.
"That's one possibility."
Du Busi wasn't confident enough to guarantee it.
"I once heard that malnutrition could cause blocked meridians and lower Innate Soul Power. I wonder if that's true?"
Golden Body Douluo pondered for a moment before speaking uncertainly.
"Whatever the reason, with the secret techniques of our Body Sect, I can make her one of the continent's top geniuses even if she has no Soul Power at all!"
Unable to figure it out, Du Busi simply stopped thinking about it. He beat his chest in anguish and said, "Why did she have to be born in the Star Luo Empire!"
Long Aotian was the leading talent of the Body Sect's younger generation and the sect master's foremost successor. He was excellent in every way, but no faction ever complained about having too many outstanding disciples.
And compared to Huo Yutong, who possessed the Spirit Eye Martial Soul, Long Aotian, whose martial soul was his skin, was far inferior.
"Sect Master, that little girl is the Daughter of Destiny. She was already an unparalleled genius, unique in this world."
The Body Sect elder who had spoken earlier reminded him again.
"With the full support of our Body Sect, won't she become even more of a genius?"
Du Busi's expression froze. He glared viciously at the elder.
At the same time, Du Busi silently resolved to find an opportunity to throw this tactless fellow out. It would save him from constantly undermining him.
"Sect Master, should we go and snatch her..."
A rough-looking elder suggested, "No, I mean take her in as a disciple."
"That's right. All Body Martial Souls under heaven belong to one family."
Beside him, another elder nodded and solemnly agreed. "We should bring our family home."
"You think I don't want to? That little girl named Huo Yutong is in Star Luo Imperial City."
Du Busi rolled his eyes in exasperation. "By the time we get there, the opportunity will be gone."
"Hmph. If the Star Luo Royal Family gets to her first, we can just make them hand her over," Golden Body Douluo said with a cold snort.
"If it were only the Star Luo Royal Family, I wouldn't be afraid of them."
At this, Du Busi's expression suddenly grew grave. "But the problem is that place..."
High above, the scene changed once more.
The little girl curled up in a corner while several children nearby laughed and threw clods of dirt and stones at her.
At that moment, a black-haired, black-eyed boy stepped in front of the little girl and chased the brats away.
"Th-thank you, big brother."
The little girl thanked him timidly.
"Don't mention it. What's your name, and why were they bullying you?" the boy asked with a gentle smile.
"I... I'm Dai Yutong," the little girl said softly.
"Dai Yutong? Do you know a little boy named Dai Yuhao?"
Hearing that, obvious surprise crossed the boy's face, and he hurriedly pressed her for an answer.
"I-I don't... I don't know... any Dai Yuhao!"
At the boy's questioning, the little girl took a step back and curled up instinctively.
"Don't worry! I won't bully you."
He seemed to realize that his tone had been too intense. After taking a deep breath, the boy calmed himself and gently reassured the little girl.
"R-really?" the little girl asked cautiously.
"Of course. I keep my word."
As if he had thought of something, the boy asked gently, "Can you tell big brother whether your mother was Huo Yun'er?"
"Mm."
The little girl nodded firmly, then tears welled up in her eyes against her will. "Mom is already dead!"
"She's already dead?"
Surprise was plain in the boy's eyes. "How could that be..."
At that moment, everyone realized that this was Gu Tian's first meeting with the Daughter of Destiny, Huo Yutong.
Star Luo Imperial Palace.
Looking up at the scene of the two meeting, Gu Tian knitted his brows.
If Gu Tian's guess was right, this was the timeline before the Sky Curtain appeared—the experiences he had gone through.
How should he put it?
From the very beginning, Gu Tian had wanted to visit the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and meet Huo Yuhao, the protagonist of the Original Work, ahead of time to prepare for what lay ahead.
After all, both Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux were closely connected to him.
The best way to secure those two opportunities was to stay by his side.
Setting Sky Dream Ice Silkworm aside, Electrolux's appearance had been far too coincidental.
Considering that Huo Yuhao's identity as the Child of Destiny had already been made explicit in the Original Work...
Whether it was Sky Dream Ice Silkworm or Electrolux, there was an eighty-percent chance that the Douluo World Consciousness had given these cheats to its own favored son, Huo Yuhao.
The purpose was probably to stand against Tang San, who had ulterior motives.
Unfortunately, Tang San had turned the tables on him in the end.
From then on, the Child of Destiny, who had been entrusted with such high hopes, became a dog of the Tang Family.
Actually, Huo Yuhao wasn't entirely to blame. Before he had even grown strong, he had already been targeted by a lofty Deity who wanted to seize his destiny and fortune and train him into a dog.
Even across all the worlds, how many people could defy fate in such a desperate situation without knowing what was really going on?
If that was truly the case, Gu Tian suspected the Douluo World Consciousness had wanted Huo Yuhao to create his own divine position and build an entirely new Divine Realm to oppose Tang San.
After all, at that time, the First Generation Asura God had retired, while the new Gods of Goodness and Evil were incomplete in strength and little more than figureheads.
As for the other two God Kings, God of Destruction cared only about expanding the Divine Realm.
Goddess of Life had always remained neutral and didn't get involved in anything.
In such circumstances, even if Tang San hadn't arranged everything for Huo Yuhao, ascending to the Divine Realm would still have been like a lamb walking into a tiger's den.
That was precisely why the Douluo World Consciousness had gone to such lengths to bring Electrolux, the demigod who had built the Undead Demiplane with his own hands, from another world to serve as Huo Yuhao's guide and teacher.
Unfortunately, under Tang San's manipulation, the Huo Yuhao of the Original Work had gone completely astray.
