Huo Yuhao: Gu Yue, I Think I Saw Your Mother

After entering the Lake of Life, Huo Yuhao discovered that he didn't need to hold his breath or use his Soul Power to ensure he could breathe.

The surrounding lake water seemed to possess a spirit, automatically parting to both sides.

He could breathe freely and move without hindrance, as if walking on land.

He glanced at Di Tian ahead and knew that Di Tian had made his move.

Huo Yuhao could sense that Di Tian didn't seem to like him.

Judging from his behavior, he should keep his promise and not endanger his Life God.

Huo Yuhao followed behind Di Tian and quickly dived towards the center of the lake.

His Spirit Eyes gleamed with golden light, taking in everything around him.

Soon, Huo Yuhao saw the scene at the bottom of the center of the Lake of Life.

A huge Lotus Platform floats silently on the bottom of the lake.

The Life God force emanating from it was so intense, almost tangible, that simply looking at it brought a sense of peace and tranquility.

On that enormous Lotus Platform, he saw a figure.

It was clearly a woman, who was facing away from him at the moment.

She was tall and graceful with beautiful curves, and her long, silvery-white hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, gently swaying in the lake water.

She wore a long white dress, the hem of which slowly unfurled in the water, like a blooming lotus flower.

Upon witnessing this scene, Di Tian's heart skipped a beat.

He hadn't expected that his Lord would take human form, but he quickly understood why.

His Lord appeared in human form, so that even if he met Huo Yuhao, the latter would not be able to determine his Lord's true identity.

Thinking of this, Di Tian finally felt relieved that his Lord "knew what was going on".

Huo Yuhao landed at the bottom of the lake with Di Tian Di Tian, who then bowed to the figure on the Lotus Platform and said, "My Lord, Huo Yuhao has arrived."

Gu Yuena slowly turned around, her gaze falling on the figure behind Di Tian, a scrutinizing glint in her purple eyes.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao, seemingly unaware of any "fear," scrutinized the Lord that Di Tian had mentioned.

He was surprised to learn from her back view that this "Lord" was actually a woman.

But now, after just one glance, Huo Yuhao was stunned!

The other person's appearance was absolutely stunning, even breathtakingly beautiful.

Huo Yuhao had traveled between two worlds and had seen many beautiful women, but none of them could compare to the "Lord" before him.

However, what truly surprised Huo Yuhao was not the other person's beauty, but rather their purple eyes and aloof demeanor.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao always felt that the other person gave him a sense of déjà vu.

He had experienced this feeling before from Di Tian.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's slightly dazed expression, Gu Yuena felt a surge of smugness.

She stretched out her right hand, and the Reverse Scale, which was fused with Huo Yuhao's bloodline, appeared in her hand, radiating a silvery-white light.

She then asked, "I heard that this ' Reverse Scale ' was given to you by a friend. I wonder who this friend is?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao recovered from his surprise.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and his Spirit Eyes regained their clarity and calm.

He quickly organized his thoughts and said in a steady voice, "She comes from a reclusive family, and her name is Gu Yue."

Huo Yuhao still adhered to his previous viewpoint: try not to lie.

Anyway, Gu Yue is from ten thousand years in the future, so even if Di Tian and this "Lord" are very powerful, they definitely won't be able to find her.

Just as Huo Yuhao was thinking this, he noticed that the pupils of the "Lord" on the Lotus Platform opposite him contracted slightly.

A barely perceptible ripple flickered in those purple eyes.

The aura emanating from Di Tian in front of them also changed for a fleeting moment.

It seems that... the name "Gu Yue" is not unfamiliar to them.

If the name "Gu Yue" didn't hold a special meaning and connection for them, powerful individuals like them wouldn't have experienced such emotional fluctuations.

How could that be?

Gu Yue is a person from ten thousand years in the future, how could these two "Soul Beast" possibly know that?!

A storm raged within Huo Yuhao's heart.

Countless thoughts collided, intertwined, and split in his mind, but none of them yielded a reasonable answer.

Huo Yuhao pondered various possibilities, while Di Tian and Gu Yuena were equally unsettled.

Di Tian looked at Gu Yuena, a hint of questioning in his golden vertical pupils.

The person who defied Huo Yuhao's Reverse Scale was called "Gu Yue," which differed from the Lord's name by only one character.

This is probably no coincidence.

Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

Even she, who always considered herself to possess extraordinary wisdom, couldn't understand what was going on at this moment.

Her mind was blank; all her thoughts seemed to be jumbled up by an invisible hand, and she couldn't make sense of them.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yuena transmitted her voice to Di Tian: "This human wasn't lying. What do you think we should do next?"

Compared to Gu Yuena, who has been in a deep sleep, Di Tian, who has been dealing with Star Dou affairs and conflicts with humans for many years, is obviously more insightful.

He thought for a moment and replied, "I've thought of another idea; perhaps we can give it a try."

After saying that, seeing the Silver Dragon King's "you might as well give it a try" expression, Di Tian turned around.

He looked at Huo Yuhao, his gaze calm and profound, and slowly said, "You must have always been wondering why we value this scale you obtained so much."

Huo Yuhao looked at Di Tian, waiting for Di Tian to continue.

Di Tian then said, "Because there is another one of these scales in Star Dou. It is the Reverse Scale of my Dragon Clan King and is the most precious treasure of Star Dou."

He paused, his golden vertical pupils fixed intently on Huo Yuhao: "Normally, there should only be one scale, but now, two identical Reverse Scale have appeared."

His voice softened, emphasizing each word. "You... should understand what I mean, right?"

Huo Yuhao naturally understood. He really hadn't expected that the True Dragon Reverse Scale that Gu Yue gave him would actually come from the Star Dou Great Forest.

According to Gu Yue, this Reverse Scale is a family heirloom.

Could it be that Gu Yue's ancestors stole it from the Star Dou?

That doesn't make sense either. Judging from how much Di Tian values this Reverse Scale, even Quasi-God probably couldn't snatch it from Di Tian's hands.

Moreover, he now knows that there is someone even more powerful than Di Tian in the Core Circle of Star Dou!

Snatching something from these two? That's simply a pipe dream.

Huo Yuhao is able to travel between two worlds, and his thinking has long surpassed the boundaries of ordinary people.

Those possibilities that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to imagine were, for him, just one of countless choices.

After eliminating all impossible options, his thoughts finally converged on one point: he saw a possibility that even he found hard to believe.

Since it couldn't have been stolen from Star Dou, it must have been given to us by the Ferocious Beast of Star Dou themselves.

Given the relationship between Star Dou and humanity, such a precious treasure would obviously not be easily given to humans.

That leaves only one conclusion: this Reverse Scale is not for humans, but for Soul Beast!

As we all know, Soul Beast can also transform into human form!

Thinking about this, Huo Yuhao felt as if he had suddenly had an epiphany, and many things that he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.

Like a lightning bolt cleaving through the fog, like a thread connecting all the beads.

For example, the sense of familiarity he felt from this "Lord" Di Tian before was none other than that from Gu Yue and his father, Uncle Gu, ten thousand years later!

The reclusive family to which Gu Yue belongs likely has close ties with the Core Circle of Star Dou.

That family might not be a reclusive family at all, but rather a family founded by a transformed Soul Beast.

It's highly likely that Gu Yue has the bloodline of Soul Beast flowing through his veins!

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's gaze involuntarily turned to Gu Yuena on the Lotus Platform.

And that face, the contours of its features, the curves of its eyebrows and eyes—the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed to him.

Her purple eyes, her expression, her aura...

Huo Yuhao increasingly felt that Gu Yue and this "Lord" were remarkably similar.

Could it be... that Gu Yue carries her bloodline?

Is it a daughter?

Is she a granddaughter?

Or a descendant from a more distant generation?
