Plane Master and Life Core

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming shook his head, feeling that Long Yeyue's thoughts were too dark.

Although the Spirit Pagoda is a competitor of the Shrek Academy, it wouldn't stoop to such a despicable act.

He transmitted his voice, "It shouldn't be. Let's see how he goes next."

Long Yeyue frowned, and opened her mouth as if to say something.

But seeing Yun Ming's confident expression, he ultimately remained silent.

Her gaze fell again, landing on the figure of the young man below.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt a warm sensation all over his body, which spread from his chest to his limbs, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

As the Golden Heart throbbed within his chest, he felt as if he had entered a special space.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and found himself in a separate space. The space wasn't large, and everything around him was golden.

The gold was rich and pure, like liquid gold flowing, radiating a warm and sacred light.

Standing before Huo Yuhao was an elderly man dressed in white robes.

His face was old, his beard and hair were all white, and his hair was so long that it reached his heels.

His face was covered with wrinkles, each one telling a story of the vicissitudes of time.

Looking at his face, it was indeed exactly the same as the "Elder Jin" I had seen ten thousand years ago.

Huo Yuhao remained calm and called out, "Elder Jin!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes. He looked at Huo Yuhao with a hint of doubt. "You... know me?"

Looking at the familiar stranger opposite him, Huo Yuhao said, "I met Elder Jin ten thousand years ago, and it was Elder Jin who gave me the Golden Heart."

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful expression appeared on Elder Jin's aged face.

His brows furrowed slightly, and a glint flashed in his cloudy old eyes, as if he were trying to recall something.

After a moment, his voice held a hint of confusion. "Child, in my memory, I have never seen you ten thousand years ago."

His memory spans tens of thousands of years; he remembers every single event and every single person clearly.

But he searched through his memories and couldn't find any trace of the boy.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "That's because the ten thousand years ago I mentioned was ten thousand years ago in another world."

Seeing the confusion on Elder Jin's face, Huo Yuhao continued to explain, "Simply put, I possess the ability to travel from the present to ten thousand years ago."

"However, that ten thousand years ago was in another world. What happened ten thousand years ago will not affect this ten thousand years from now."

The fewer people who know about my ability to travel through ten thousand years, the better.

This is his biggest secret, and also his deepest trump card.

However, Elder Jin was one of the "people" that Huo Yuhao trusted relatively.

After all, Elder Jin wouldn't actively contact Shrek Academy because of Tang San's mother's situation, and people outside could hardly ever see Elder Jin.

So even if Elder Jin knew this secret, he probably wouldn't reveal it.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, Elder Jin's pupils contracted slightly, clearly indicating that he was quite shocked.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't easily believe it even if Huo Yuhao said it to their face.

Traveling through time and space—that's perhaps a realm only God can reach.

But Elder Jin believed it; his Golden Heart was not to be faked.

If it weren't for this reason, how could there possibly be two Golden Heart in the world?

He then exclaimed with admiration, "Truly Child of Luck, to have such an opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

Elder Jin, ten thousand years ago, saw that he was the Child of Luck, and Elder Jin, ten thousand years later, indeed saw it at a glance as well.

He observed Elder Jin opposite him; his aura was noticeably weaker than when he had met him "last time."

A hint of worry flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he asked, "Elder Jin, how have you been these past ten thousand years? Is the Blue Silver Emperor still devouring your Life God?"

Elder Jin looked at Huo Yuhao, a hint of tenderness flashing in his cloudy old eyes.

He sighed, a sigh filled with weariness and helplessness.

"It seems I was really lucky in the other world to meet you ten thousand years earlier."

After saying that, he shook his head and gave a bitter smile, lamenting, "Now I am already 'twilight of my life,' and it won't be long before I am completely consumed by it."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression changed.

He held the old man who had given him the Golden Heart ten thousand years ago in the highest esteem.

Unexpectedly, Elder Jin ultimately could not escape his fate of being devoured, and Tang San's plan was about to succeed.

Looking at Huo Yuhao's expression, Elder Jin smiled with a touch of magnanimity and said, "There's no need to feel sorry for me. At least now I know that I have a self in another world, and I have the possibility of changing my destiny."

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, wanting to say that he could help him too, but in the end he didn't say it.

Because he knew he was facing not an ordinary person, but a god!

The Sea God revered by everyone on the mainland!

Although his current strength far surpasses that of his peers, he still feels a deep sense of powerlessness when facing a God!

Seeing Huo Yuhao's silence, Elder Jin smiled with relief, "Good child, don't be sad for me. Your appearance has already shown that things have begun to change."

As he spoke, Elder Jin's kind face suddenly changed, becoming serious.

The smile faded from that aged face, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

He said, "Child, every word I'm about to say is very important; you must remember it clearly."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious.

Although he didn't know what Elder Jin was going to say next, he nodded solemnly.

Elder Jin then said, "There's something I didn't tell you about my counterpart in another world ten thousand years ago, because it's something I only realized three thousand years ago."

"Now, not only am I, as the Life Core, facing a problem in the Douluo Continent, but even the Plane Master are facing a crisis."

Huo Yuhao frowned even more deeply, and asked with a puzzled look, "Elder Jin, what is Plane Master?"

He had never heard the term "Plane Master" in his previous studies.

Therefore, he had no concrete idea what the name represented.

Elder Jin explained, "The Life Core is the core of the plane's vitality, representing gestation and nourishment."

"The Plane Master is the embodiment of the plane's will, representing rules and balance."

"The Plane Master and the Life Core are the two core elements that support the operation of the Douluo Plane. They complement each other and are indispensable."

"And three thousand years ago, I received a distress message from the Plane Master, so clearly it also had a problem."

Looking at Huo Yuhao, Elder Jin's cloudy eyes revealed a solemn expression. "Its situation is perhaps the same as mine!"

Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had thought of something.

"Elder Jin, are you saying that the problem with the Plane Master was also caused by Tang San?!"
