As the audience was shocked by the time spell cast by Huo Yuhao in the Heavenly Screen and discussed it vigorously, some people discovered a problem.

The youth in the Heavenly Screen was still studying various magic knowledge every day, but he seemed to have lost a certain sharpness and striving spirit.

He no longer studied day and night but slept peacefully at night, just like other mages in the Sacred Hall.

This seemed like nothing, but some people with keen senses found that Huo Yuhao's determination to save his mother seemed to have dissipated.

Everything was because of the scene that happened in the library.

If you think about it carefully, it's easy to find the reason.

Huo Yuhao's mother had been dead for more than three years. Even if Huo Yuhao had become a Magic Master, he was powerless to retrieve his mother's soul from the Underworld.

Under these circumstances, Huo Yun'er had only one hope for revival, and that was the sentence Huo Yuhao whispered when he held the Eye of Agamotto: Time Travel.

The Eye of Agamotto, combined with time magic, could reverse time, so it might also be possible to traverse time back to the past! Back to the time point when Huo Yun'er's soul had not yet dissipated, or even when she was not yet dead!

This way, saving Huo Yun'er would no longer be an impossible task.

However, judging from Master Ryze's attitude, the Sacred Hall strongly disapproved of interfering with Time's Flow by using time spells! It might even be strictly forbidden!

Although people couldn't fully understand this, judging from the actions of the Sacred Hall, they strictly adhered to this rule.

Even when Master Kailan was killed, they did not use time magic to revive him.

Venerable Gu Yi said they were guardians of natural rules, not destroyers. This is what the people of the Sacred Hall said, and this is what they did.

But this led to the ruthless shattering of Huo Yuhao's last glimmer of hope for reviving his mother!

It was even as if they first showed him hope, and then ruthlessly extinguished it!

The hope of reviving Huo Yun'er was right there. As long as he acted, Huo Yun'er could be revived! Huo Yuhao's years of struggle would have yielded perfect results.

But the people of the Sacred Hall told him: You can't do this! Reviving your mother would violate the Cosmic Rules!

When the old mage Ryze was lecturing Huo Yuhao, he mentioned: Manipulating time would create Time Branches! Unstable Dimensional Rifts, and what about Spatial Paradoxes and Time Loops!

Although he didn't understand what these situations were specifically, they were clearly quite serious consequences.

And although Huo Yuhao in the Heavenly Screen seemed very obsessive, even crazy, he had never actively harmed anyone.

He was a kind person... and such a person would not disregard the safety of others to revive his mother.

To revive his mother, he had to manipulate time, and it would be a significant interference with time. The result would be the violation of Natural Rules, triggering all sorts of unpredictable disasters, which would then affect innocent people.

This dilemma was placed before Huo Yuhao. The examples of mages dying in battles to Guard Universe without using time spells to retrieve tragedies were also placed before him.

If he were a selfish person, he might choose to ignore everything and accomplish what he wanted first.

But Huo Yuhao was not that kind of person, so his spirit had dissipated.

From the moment Venerable Gu Yi took away the Eye of Agamotto, he knew he had no chance to revive his mother and had completely accepted Reality.

As Time passed bit by bit, more and more Douluo Continent audiences understood this point, or understood Huo Yuhao's situation in the Heavenly Screen through others' explanations. Sighs of pity echoed from all over the continent:

"Sighed... This child is truly suffering."

"He struggled desperately for four years for a goal, only for it to be in vain. Sighed..."

"The hope of reviving his mother was right before his eyes, but he couldn't touch it. This is the most painful thing for this youth!"

"To be honest, it's all Huo Yun'er's fault! When Yuhao was young, she refused to leave the Duke Mansion. When Yuhao went to Shrek Academy, she still wanted to return to that damned Duke Mansion, which caused the child to live in suffering from childhood to adulthood!"

"It's not entirely Huo Yun'er's fault. She was brave in the end and actively sought death so as not to become the child's weakness. It can only be said that her vision was too limited..."

"Damn it, why are those people in the Sacred Hall so rigid? Letting Yuhao use time magic once to save his mother, what's the big deal? Yuhao's talent is clearly that of a future pillar of the Sacred Hall, why doesn't he have any special privileges?!"

"Hmph, Huo Yuhao is still too indecisive. If it were me, I would revive my mother first, and then compensate for any problems that arise. Isn't contributing to the Sacred Hall by guarding the Cosmic Safety for a lifetime enough to atone for my mistakes?"

"Hahaha, you all speak so easily. You put personal matters above Cosmic Safety. This is why Huo Yuhao can enter the Sacred Hall and you can't!"

"Indeed, this kind of precedent cannot be set. Once Huo Yun'er is revived, should other mages who died fighting for the Sacred Hall be revived? Should Master Kailan, who was killed, be revived? Should the Lifespan lost due to borrowing the power of a Dimensional Demon God to cast spells be replenished?"

"Yes, it's better to have less than to have unequal distribution. If Huo Yun'er is revived, then others must be revived, and then it will truly be out of control!"

"Time is not a Kitten or a Dog that you can play with however you want. If you arbitrarily modify time, even if it's fine once or twice, it will inevitably cause problems if done too often!"

"If only Huo Yun'er is revived and others are not, then people's hearts will be scattered. What's the point of talking about guarding the Cosmic Safety? I'm afraid the Sacred Hall itself will fall into chaos!"

"But the Sacred Hall is already in chaos, isn't it? Didn't that Kaecilius take a group of people and defect? Have you forgotten?"

"Here's the problem: Kaecilius tore two pages from the library before he ran away. Then why didn't he take the Eye of Agamotto with him?"

"Because he doesn't know how to use it!"

"What trash, calling himself a master. Yuhao can learn it with just a glance, but he can't. He's lived his old age like a Dog!"

"Keep your voice down! Be careful that the Sacred Hall Mages following Kaecilius hear you and come to serve you with Illusion Space!"

"Yes, and then they'll use the Sacred Sword of Vishanti to cut your little sausage and roast it with the Sacred Flames of Vishanti to feed it to you!"

"You're finished. Master Kaecilius's Mind's Eye is smaller than a Horse's Eye. How dare you insult a master? Tonight, someone will come and arrest you and throw you into the lair of Outer Dimension monsters, making you contribute your little life to guarding the Cosmic Safety!"

Just as the audience on the continent was discussing vigorously, in the Heavenly Screen, Huo Yuhao, who had been dispirited for a while, finally made a new move.
