Eternal and Creation Divine Throne!

After taking a car back to the vicinity of the Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao saw several families emerging from the Spirit Pagoda with their children, each holding a Soul Spirit Ball. Suddenly, he spoke within his Sea of Consciousness:

"I'm human, but the ones who have helped me the most have been you Soul Beasts, Brother Sky Dream. Everyone in the Extreme North has also taken great care of me."

"Can this era become what you wish for? This is the best I can do..."

As long as Soul Masters still needed Soul Rings, the conflict between Soul Beasts and Soul Masters could never completely disappear. Using the Soul Spirit Contract as a breakthrough would give both sides the possibility of taking another path. It was the only way he could think of for them to possibly coexist in harmony.

"Yuhao..."

Ice Empress and Tian Meng were both stunned, then smiled at the same time.

"You've already done everything you could. Ten Thousand Years Ago, who could have imagined that Soul Beasts and Soul Masters would be able to coexist in relative harmony? Don't overthink it."

Ice Empress said gently with a smile.

"Thank you."

Huo Yuhao smiled at her words and was about to look away when he saw two children holding Soul Spirit Balls suddenly begin competing with each other.

"My Soul Spirit is the strongest!"

"My Soul Spirit is the strongest!"

"Hmph, then let's have a Soul Spirit duel and see whose Soul Spirit is stronger!"

One of the children picked up his Soul Spirit Ball and made a throwing motion.

The other child refused to be outdone, raising his Soul Spirit Ball as he said:

"Bring it on! Who's afraid of who? My Blazing Lion is definitely stronger than your Soul Spirit!"

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Ice Empress: "..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "..."

Stop it already, Soul Spirits aren't used like that!

Fortunately, the two children's parents stopped them in time. Otherwise, a delightful Soul Spirit Pokémon battle would have unfolded in front of the Spirit Pagoda.

Inside the Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao looked at the whale rubber that had been processed by a high-level Soul Master and was now a golden gelatinous substance, sighing inwardly.

He hadn't gotten to enjoy this stuff Ten Thousand Years Ago, yet now he had the chance to try it. Fate truly played strange tricks.

"Absorb it as soon as possible. It takes time for whale rubber to cool and harden, and this is also the best time to absorb it."

The male Soul Master beside him, who wore glasses and a white uniform, reminded him gently.

"Mm, thank you for the trouble, Senior Luo." Huo Yuhao thanked him and began consuming the whale rubber.

Luo Yanglu, a Six-Ring Soul Emperor and Fire Attribute Soul Master, was also the... chef of this Spirit Pagoda branch.

That's right, a chef—though he was Hua Yichen's personal chef. The ingredients he handled were all extremely precious, and the two seemed to have known each other for a long time and shared a close relationship.

The piece of whale rubber Huo Yuhao was eating now had been prepared by him.

According to Hua Yichen, he would also supply Huo Yuhao with "nutritious meals" made from all kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the future, so Huo Yuhao was asked to look forward to them.

Seeing Huo Yuhao finish the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber and sit down cross-legged to cultivate and absorb its medicinal power, Luo Yanglu's eyes flickered. He left the room and looked toward a nearby corner.

"This child is neither arrogant nor impatient, and his temperament is excellent. His talent is even the greatest I've seen in my life. But don't you think he's too quiet?"

"So you think so too." Hua Yichen stepped out from the corner and sighed as he looked at the tightly shut door.

He had witnessed Huo Yuhao's conversation with Mu Xi. At such a young age, Huo Yuhao possessed the calmness of someone who had seen it all, and Hua Yichen did not consider that a good thing.

A person who remained placid as water could certainly face anything calmly, but experiencing all kinds of circumstances and feeling the rise and fall of one's emotions was also a necessary form of growth.

Moreover, if he lost his edge, he would lose the fierce spirit needed to take a gamble when it mattered.

"Perhaps his complicated family experiences shaped his personality."

Hua Yichen frowned. "Do you have a good solution?"

Luo Yanglu shook his head. "Personality isn't something that can be changed overnight. What could I do? But in this state, we can't let him remain quietly cultivating in the tower forever. He needs experience and stimulation."

As he spoke, his eyes flashed as though he had thought of something. "How about putting him on the Youth Genius List three years from now? A genius's pride and edge are forged through battle. Entering the list would also motivate him."

"The Youth Genius List?"

Hua Yichen frowned.

The Youth Genius List was a subsidiary list of the Continental Storm List, founded by the Spirit Pagoda and aimed at Soul Masters.

Its stated purpose was to promote the development of the Soul Master World and encourage Soul Masters to improve themselves, though its true purpose was certainly not just that.

The Continental Storm List had one hundred rankings in total, recording the one hundred most powerful Battle Armor Masters. As its subsidiary list, the Youth Genius List listed young geniuses under the age of eighteen and was also known as the reserve list for the Storm List.

Besides these two lists, there were also rankings for forging, mecha manufacturing, and more.

The Youth Storm List evaluated those under eighteen from multiple aspects, including talent, strength, sub-profession, and Soul Power Level. There were only thirty spots in total.

Even if a genius who entered it could initially remain calm, as their talent gradually came to fruition and their ranking rose, their pride and edge would be stirred as well. Thinking about it that way, putting Huo Yuhao on the list truly was a solution...

At the same time, Huo Yuhao, in the room, felt his physical condition improve. He opened his eyes as well, his expression shifting slightly.

The two of them had not concealed their conversation. They had deliberately let him hear it, likely hoping that he would notice the issue himself.

However, although Huo Yuhao appreciated their concern for his psychological state, in truth... he merely had a clear understanding of himself.

From a player's perspective, he could at most be considered someone who had spent money on the game. That salted fish Dou Si was the true player with cheats enabled.

As everyone knew, those who spent money could not beat those using cheats—unless the cheater's account was banned. But that still could not change the fact that they had been unable to win from the start.

In terms of talent, there were people stronger than him.

As for willpower, he had nearly passed out when he fused with the Ice Empress. Even as someone reincarnated, he was not much stronger than the original Huo Yuhao.

Under such circumstances, Huo Yuhao naturally would not take pride in the talent he had received as a gift from others.

But neither would Huo Yuhao belittle himself because of it.

He had broader knowledge than the original Huo Yuhao, a more mature outlook on life and values, the advantage of knowing the plot, and awareness of more opportunities.

And most importantly... he was not a Love-Obsessed Mind. He would resist!

Only by seeing himself clearly could he go farther.

"I won't claim to be stronger than Long Haochen. As your master, I may not be qualified."

"But since you have not chosen to leave over these ten thousand years, could you lend me your strength?"

Huo Yuhao's consciousness passed through the mark at the deepest part of the Sea of Consciousness, where he saw a void-like expanse.

Merely looking at it made one feel endless darkness and silence, as though standing at the edge of the universe, where the very concepts of time and space had lost all meaning.

Yet a radiant throne subtly changed everything, bringing vitality to that space.

It was entirely black. Its towering backrest was ancient and steady, faintly emanating a majestic aura. The Sun, Moon, and Stars, flowers, birds, fish, insects, and all kinds of plants were engraved upon it.

Huo Yuhao knew its origin.

A Super Divine Artifact, the throne of the Creation God—the Eternal and Creation Divine Throne!
