"But why had she still inherited the God of Emotion's divine position?"

At the thought, a question rose in Gu Tian's heart.

Gu Tian was never stingy with his own people, let alone with Huo Yutong, who was destined to be his woman in the future.

Compared to inheriting the God of Emotion's divine position, forging her own divine position would undoubtedly have suited Huo Yutong better.

After all, Huo Yuhao had proven his talent in the Original Work.

With only the status of a First-Class God—the God of Emotion—he had nearly threatened the life of God of Destruction, a God King.

It went without saying that a First-Class God and a God King weren't even in the same league.

This wasn't a gap that could be bridged simply by numbers.

To give an example, the difference between a Titled Douluo and a Deity was enormous—and the gap here could be even greater.

Even God of Destruction, arrogant as he was, had praised Huo Yuhao highly, saying he was very likely to ascend to a higher rank and become the Divine Realm's next Supreme God.

Knowing himself, Gu Tian would certainly have explained the advantages and disadvantages of both paths to Huo Yutong in advance.

Unless it had been her own choice.

"That White Tiger Duchess is awful!"

Beside him, Xu Jiujiu knitted her slender brows.

How could she not tell that someone had ordered those brats to bully Huo Yutong?

And in the entire White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the only person with both the motive and the power to do so was the White Tiger Duchess.

"Exactly. If you ask me, the White Tiger Duke is the worst of all."

Xu Yun nodded indignantly. "He's the source of all these problems. If it weren't for him, none of this would have happened!"

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Gu Tian.

Catching Xu Yun's gaze, Gu Tian—who had been lost in thought with his head bowed—could only give a helpless look.

It was true that he wanted a harem, but he wasn't the sort of scumbag who walked away after having his fun, like Dai Hao.

No, calling Dai Hao a scumbag might even be an insult to scumbags.

The right word for him was human garbage.

Gu Tian didn't consider himself human garbage. At worst, he was a scumbag.

So, with a clear conscience, he simply ignored this sister-in-law who was trying to stir up trouble.

"The scenes shown on the Sky Curtain this time will probably make quite a few people suspicious."

Gu Tian turned his gaze back to the Sky Curtain, raising his brows slightly.

The world was vast, and someone was bound to notice something.

To be honest, Gu Tian wasn't particularly worried.

After all, no matter how clever the people of this world were, they couldn't possibly guess that he was a Transmigrator who knew the general course of the future and the many secrets of this world.

Things would have been entirely different if this had happened in the modern world he'd come from.

Shrek Academy.

"Dai Yuhao, Dai Yutong... They differ by only one character..."

Mu En looked thoughtful. "Judging by his actions, he went to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to look for a child named Dai Yuhao."

"In his mind, Dai Yuhao should have been Huo Yun'er's child."

"However, Huo Yun'er had only one child: Huo Yutong."

At that, Yan Shaozhe joined in with his analysis. "That must be why he was so surprised and pressed her with such emotion."

"Dai Yuhao is clearly a boy's name," Elder Song said, her brows furrowed. Her voice was full of confusion. "What could the two have to do with each other?"

"Could it be that he learned through some channel that there was a child named Huo Yuhao in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion who was a Child of Destiny?"

A tall, middle-aged man spoke uncertainly. "And so he came here, hoping to win the child over?"

His name was Shi Xing. He was a Rank 94 Control System Titled Douluo, titled Time.

He was also the current lord of Shrek City and its defense chief, responsible for the city's entire defense.

Just as his title suggested, Shi Xing's martial soul, the Time-Space Silver Disk, was a tool martial soul that straddled time and space, and it had some ability with both.

Time reigns supreme; space reigns as king!

That wasn't an exaggeration.

Not even the Divine Realm had a Deity who controlled such power.

Unfortunately, Shi Xing's development of time power was far too rudimentary, while his grasp of space power was practically nonexistent.

Otherwise, Shrek's strongest might have been someone else.

And Mu En wouldn't have had to worry so much over having no suitable successor after his death.

"Old Shi, that doesn't make sense."

Qian Duoduo shook his head and shared his view. "Without the Sky Curtain revealing it, how could anyone have known that the little fellow with only one level of Innate Soul Power was a Daughter of Destiny, a figure who existed only in legends?"

"Then how do you explain him going to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to look for a boy who doesn't exist?"

Xian Lin'er raised her brows slightly and weighed in as well. "There must be a reason!"

"Wild guesses won't help, and this isn't even important to Shrek."

Just then, Mu En's voice rang out, low and distant. "After all, we've already made our choice. There's no turning back now."

"..."

The Shrek Academy elders exchanged silent looks.

"Rumble—"

Beneath the gaze of countless people,

the scene on the Sky Curtain slowly faded.

In its place appeared golden characters, dazzling just like before.

[After that, with Gu Tian's help, she obtained an unprecedented Million Year Soul Ring ahead of time.]

The girl named Huo Yutong appeared on the screen once again.

An indescribably brilliant ring of light slowly rose from beneath her feet!

It wasn't white, yellow, purple, black, or even red.

It was a dazzling golden color so radiant that no one could ignore it!

The golden Soul Ring gradually dimmed, transforming into a pale, silvery-white ring of light.

At a glance, it looked no different from an ordinary ten-year Soul Ring.

In that moment, it was as though the entire world had fallen silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"This... How could this be?!"

The Old Sun Moon Emperor stared fixedly at the Million Year Soul Ring on the screen. He didn't even notice when the priceless teacup in his hand fell to the ground, his eyes brimming with greed.

"A Golden Soul Ring... A million years..."

Inside the Body Sect, Du Busi abruptly shot to his feet.

He had already sent people to Star Luo Imperial City to investigate Huo Yutong and see if there was a chance to lure her into the Body Sect.

Now, Du Busi planned to go there himself!

Whatever it took, he would bring Huo Yutong back to the Body Sect.

A Spirit Eye Martial Soul with the Spirit Attribute already had limitless potential.

And with a Million Year Soul Ring as her first Soul Ring!

She was practically the Body Sect's chosen successor!

"A million years... A Soul Ring!"

Dai Hao, who was piloting a Flying Soul Tool toward Star Luo City in the Star Luo Empire, stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. "I have to make Yutong understand her father's reasons!"

"Oh no. I hope that bitch doesn't do anything else stupid."

Just then, Dai Hao seemed to remember something. Soul Power poured into the Flying Soul Tool as if it cost him nothing, making it speed up even more.
