"May I ask what Senior Golden Dragon King wants me to do? No matter what it is, I'll definitely help!" Huo Yuhao asked as he looked at the Golden-Haired Woman before him.
"Yes, Senior Golden Dragon King. You helped Yuhao and me escape our predicament, so you are our benefactor. If there is anything you need help with, please just say the word," Wang Dong'er said, holding Huo Yuhao's arm.
After all, without Gu Yuexi, he could never have rescued Wang Dong'er and his mother, much less completely escaped Tang San's control as he had now.
"Is that so? Let me think about it first."
Hearing this, Gu Yuexi began pondering what she should get from Huo Yuhao.
After all, although Huo Yuhao had defected from the God Realm and no longer held the Emotion God's God Position, his cultivation was still intact. He was equivalent to a First-Level God without a God Position.
And Wang Dong'er at his side, while not particularly strong, was likewise equivalent to a Second-Level God without a God Position.
More importantly, Huo Yuhao was a Divine Soul Engineer—a research talent. That was precisely what the Soul Beast Clan lacked most at present, so she had to think this through carefully.
"Then, Senior Golden Dragon King, please take your time thinking. We won't disturb you for now."
At this moment, the two of them looked at Gu Yuexi with eyes utterly free of any impurity, holding only sincerity and hatred for Tang San, who had wantonly controlled their fates.
Huo Yuhao was no fool. After ascending to the God Realm, he had carefully reflected on his life and easily discovered all the things Tang San had done to him.
After his mother Huo Yun'er died, Tang San guided her soul to the God Realm. Then there were his encounters with Tian Meng and Tang Ya in the Star Dou Great Forest, followed by joining Shrek and the Tang Sect.
The death of his teacher Electrolux, everything that happened in Qiankun Asking Love Valley, the relationship among Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er, and Tang Wutong...
All of it had been arranged for him by Tang San. From the moment he walked out of the Duke's Estate, his fate had already been completely controlled by Tang San.
After all, his and Wang Dong'er's Martial Souls should have had absolutely nothing to do with each other, yet they possessed so many Martial Soul Fusion Skills, with an astonishingly rare compatibility rate of 100%.
They could even fuse with a noble bloodline like the Emperor Auspicious Beast's. That alone was extremely abnormal!
Other than deliberate arrangements and modifications by Gods, such a thing could never have occurred naturally on the Douluo Continent!
After becoming a God, Huo Yuhao had been even more constrained by Tang San. Tang San would not even let him touch his own wife, and he had gone through tremendous effort just to undo that damned lock!
At the same time, under Tang San's suppression, Huo Yuhao could not even collect soul fragments for his teacher, Electrolux.
After all, Electrolux was tremendously powerful. Once he became a God, he would inevitably reach God King Level, which would threaten Tang San's position!
During this time, it was not as though Huo Yuhao had never considered resisting. But he was merely a First-Level God and simply had no ability to resist Tang San, who possessed the united positions of two God Kings.
It was not until Gu Yuexi had crippled Tang San, severed Tang Wutong's soul, and separated Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er once more that Huo Yuhao saw a glimmer of hope for resistance.
So, he gathered Wang Dong'er's soul and crudely made a body for her. He intended to take advantage of the chaos in the God Realm to bring his mother away and completely escape Tang San's control.
In the process, Huo Yuhao had not only slaughtered Dai Hao, but also casually slashed Xiao Wu with his sword, doing Gu Yuexi a small favor.
"Mommy, Mommy, how about this? Huo Yuhao is a Divine Soul Engineer, and Soul Guidance Technology is also what we lack most right now. Why not have him develop Soul Tools suitable for Soul Beasts?"
At some point, Little Auspicious Beast had climbed onto Gu Yuexi's shoulder.
Ever since being rescued, the little fellow seemed to have decided that Gu Yuexi was her mother. No matter what, she would not change how she addressed her, and had even given herself the name Gu Xingling.
After a while, Gu Yuexi could no longer be bothered to correct her. Mommy was fine, then.
After all, as the Emperor Auspicious Beast, this little fellow was the Soul Beast Clan's little princess. The Golden Dragon Bloodline within her had also come from Gu Yuexi, the Golden Dragon King.
Looking at it that way, it did not seem like a big deal for her to be Gu Yuexi's daughter.
"Mm, designing Soul Tools suitable for the Soul Beast Clan... That's not a bad idea. What do you think, Huo Yuhao?" Gu Yuexi asked the man before her.
"However, what I want is not as simple as one or two Soul Tools. I want an entire, complete technological system suited to the Soul Beast Clan's development!"
Gu Yuexi had no intention of letting the Soul Beast Clan remain as it had been in the past, needing nothing more than a suitable place to live and reproduce. She wanted to establish a civilization belonging to Soul Beasts.
Only then could they ensure that, once the Soul Beast God Realm was established in the future, they would have enough strength to face the threats of other civilizations in the universe, as well as the battle against the Great God Circle ten thousand years later.
"To establish a complete system of Soul Guidance Technology suited to the Soul Beast Clan's development... This..."
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. That would mean starting the research from scratch, and the difficulty would be no small matter. Yet at the same time, it stirred the pride within him that belonged to a Divine Soul Engineer.
Thus, he raised his head, looked at the Golden-Haired Woman before him, and said, "Senior Golden Dragon King, I accept. I want to give this unprecedented research project a try as well."
Then, he glanced at Wang Dong'er beside him and continued:
"However, Senior Golden Dragon King, Dong'er and I have one small request before that. We hope you can grant it."
"What request?"
"You will likely establish the Soul Beast God Realm. The Douluo God Realm has now been swept into an unknown place by the Space-Time Turbulence, but given Tang San's nature, he will definitely return with the God Realm in the future."
"When that time comes, he will inevitably wage war against the God Realm you create."
"So, when that happens, I hope you will leave the chance to personally kill Tang San to Dong'er and me."
"You want to personally kill Tang San? But considering what that fellow did to you, that is indeed only natural. Fine, I grant your request." Gu Yuexi nodded.
"Also, once you have completed this matter, go search for your teacher's soul fragments."
"Then thank you, Senior Golden Dragon King."
Upon hearing that, Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment before immediately bowing to Gu Yuexi.
Senior Golden Dragon King seemed far, far better than that bastard Tang San.
"Alright, alright. Now that everything has been discussed, we should hurry back to Douluo Star."
After saying that, Gu Yuexi transformed directly into a golden dragon and sped toward the starfield where Douluo Star was located. Huo Yuhao pulled Wang Dong'er and Huo Yun'er along behind her.
