The First Cheat Went Offline, So Let's Bring Out the Second!

Just then, Huo Yuhao was suddenly pulled into his own spiritual world. This was the second time he had come to this place.

In the center of the ocean, the giant Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was still sound asleep. Its plump body trembled with each breath, as if the sky falling down had nothing to do with it.

Huo Yuhao's gaze passed over the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and landed on another corner of the Sea of Consciousness.

There, a small gray ball of light floated quietly.

It looked unremarkable, lacking the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's massive size or its heart-palpitating spiritual fluctuations. Yet, for some reason, as Huo Yuhao gazed at it, he felt an inexplicable tremor deep within his soul.

"Who are you?"

Huo Yuhao tentatively sent out a spiritual thought.

As if responding to his call, the small gray ball trembled slightly.

Immediately after, the gray light intensified.

As the light dissipated, a figure slowly emerged.

It was an elderly man with a wizened face, clad in an extremely luxurious black robe. Golden runes, ancient and mysterious, shone on the robe, as if containing the most profound truths of heaven and earth.

Over the robe was a wide white cloak, its hood pulled low, obscuring most of his face.

In his Right Hand, he held an exaggerated staff.

The staff was more than two meters longer than his height, woven from black, white, and gold. At its tip was embedded a huge gray gem, emitting a chilling aura of deathly stillness.

Huo Yuhao stared in shock at this uninvited guest who had suddenly appeared before him.

He never knew that such a being resided within his spiritual world.

"Who... are you? Why are you here?"

Huo Yuhao asked cautiously, his voice tinged with undisguised nervousness.

The old man slightly raised his head and looked at Huo Yuhao.

"Old Man... Electrolux."

His voice was hoarse and deep, carrying an ancient rhythm.

"Just a Remnant Soul."

"Electrolux...?"

Huo Yuhao quickly searched his mind for the name but found nothing.

"No need to think about it. Old Man is not from this world."

Electrolux seemed to see through Huo Yuhao's thoughts and said faintly.

"Because of an accident, I came to this world. Originally... my Spiritual Sense fragments fell into a strange Small River. In there, I felt an extremely special power, a power... that even surpassed the divine realm I had once touched."

Mentioning That River, Electrolux's tone also carried a hint of solemnity.

"But after that, for some reason, I suddenly appeared in your Sea of Consciousness."

He looked at Huo Yuhao, the corners of his mouth curving into a very faint smile.

"Perhaps, this is fate."

"You can just call me Old Ilai."

Huo Yuhao was a little stunned.

A Small River?

Could it be the river in the Star Dou Great Forest that had fished him out?

This Old Ilai, had he also come from that river?

"Then... Old Ilai, what do you plan to do?"

Huo Yuhao asked the most crucial question, very afraid that this unknown existence before him would cause him harm.

"Heh heh..."

Electrolux chuckled and shook his head.

"I only have a Remnant Soul left now. If I weren't residing in your Sea of Consciousness, I would have long since dissipated into the heavens and earth. So you don't need to worry about me harming you."

"On the contrary... as repayment for lodging, once my soul stabilizes a bit, I will teach you some methods to become stronger."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's heart settled slightly.

Although this Old Ilai seemed a bit eerie, he didn't feel evil. Instead, he exuded a kind of... peace after experiencing vicissitudes.

"Um... Old Ilai, I have another question."

Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but ask.

"I have two other Brothers. I want to tell them about your existence, is that okay?"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of surprise flashed in Electrolux's deep eyes.

He closed his eyes, as if sensing something.

A moment later, he opened them again and slowly said.

"It's fine to tell them."

"After all... I sensed an aura extremely similar to my own in those two little guys."

"Wh-what?!"

Huo Yuhao was truly shocked this time.

A similar aura?

Could it be...

When the River God split himself into three, he also split this old grandpa Electrolux into three parts?!

Thinking of the "Evil Qi Xuan Zi" from before, who was sinister and only knew how to kill, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but shiver.

What if the Electrolux in the other two brothers' spiritual worlds were not as easy to get along with as the Electrolux in his own spiritual world...

"Knock knock knock!"

Just as Huo Yuhao was lost in thought, a rapid knocking sound suddenly rang out, instantly pulling his consciousness back to reality.

Huo Yuhao's eyes snapped open, he got out of bed, and opened the door.

Standing outside the door were Huo Hao and Yu, their expressions strange.

Before Huo Yuhao could speak, Huo Hao said first:

"Yuhao, I have something to tell you... It seems like there's an extra person in my spiritual world."

Huo Yu nodded in agreement beside him.

"Me too."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

As expected!

The three closed the door and sat around the living room sofa, beginning to exchange information.

"Mine... calls himself King Ilai."

Huo Hao took a deep breath, describing the old man who had appeared in his spiritual world.

"He wore a set of dazzling golden armor, a crown on his head, and held a Golden Holy Sword in his hand. He looked majestic and domineering, like an emperor commanding an army of ten thousand."

After speaking, Huo Hao looked at Huo Yu.

Huo Yu chuckled lightly, his eyes showing no fear or nervousness towards the unknown old man who had suddenly appeared in his spiritual world. Instead, he wore a look of considerable interest.

"My name is Venerable Ilai. I wear a scholar's robe, a square cap, and hold a scroll. I look refined and speak in a scholarly manner, like an old academic."

Huo Yuhao also revealed the information about Electrolux in his spiritual world.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They didn't seem to have any ill intentions. That was great.

"Hey, you group of Imps, isn't your strength a bit too weak?"

Suddenly, a deep voice echoed in the spiritual worlds of the three simultaneously.

"King Ilai?"

Huo Hao was very familiar with this voice. He had just communicated with King Ilai.

"What's going on?"

Huo Yuhao and Huo Yu were both stunned. Wasn't King Ilai in Huo Hao's spiritual world? How could they also hear King Ilai's voice?

"Heh heh, then this Old Man will help too. You three little fellows are quite lucky."

Venerable Ilai's voice also sounded in their minds.

It's directly connected?

"Then... I'll have to trouble both of you for now."

Electrolux's aged voice rang out. His condition was the worst among the three.

"Now, I'll give you a choice: join the training, or intend to waste your lives, drifting through this life aimlessly. Of course, if you decide to join the training, I will not allow anyone to withdraw midway. Once you withdraw, I will kill the quitter without hesitation!"

King Ilai's voice was irrefutable. No one could contradict his decisions. The killing intent in his tone was not fake, and the terrifying aura was not fake. The aura emanating from this Guy was far more powerful than the combined aura of three million-year-old Tian Meng Ice Silkworms.

And this was just a Remnant Soul!

Huo Yuhao and the other two exchanged glances and made up their minds.

"We join!"

With such a powerful expert, no, it should be three powerful experts assisting the three brothers, how could the three brothers not become strong?

"Good, then... training begins tomorrow!"

King Ilai's supremely domineering voice rang out again.

"Um... King Ilai, I'd like to ask, how are Brother Tianmeng and the others?"

Huo Yuhao spoke, his eyes full of worry. After all, the three Tian Meng Ice Silkworms had fallen into slumber for their sake.

"Those three little bugs are fine. They can recover after sleeping for a few months."

Venerable Ilai said softly with a smile.

Upon receiving this response, the three couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
