Scepter of Destruction
Compared to the God of Destruction's appearance and aura, which instinctively instilled wariness in people, the Goddess of Life felt much more approachable to Huo Yuhao.
The rich Life God force emanating from her is gentle and inclusive, like a warm breeze on a spring day, making people unconsciously lower their guard.
Huo Yuhao couldn't be 100% sure whether what the other party said was true or false, but then he thought that as the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction, even if only a wisp of her soul remained, she was still someone who once stood at the very top.
Such a person would surely not stoop to lying to a junior like him.
Thinking of this, the troubled look between Huo Yuhao's brows gradually faded.
He raised his head, his eyes, now clear and resolute again, meeting the gentle gaze of the Goddess of Life.
He then slowly began to speak, "My name is Huo Yuhao. In a sense, I am the Huo Yuhao you're talking about, but in another sense, I am not that Huo Yuhao either."
Upon hearing this, both the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life on the opposite side were momentarily stunned.
Huo Yuhao's contradictory statement left the two of them momentarily speechless.
It is or it isn't; what does "it is and it isn't" even mean?
Huo Yuhao noticed the two God King ' confusion and then explained, "I am Huo Yuhao from ten thousand years ago, before the God of Emotions, as remembered by you two seniors, became a god."
Ten thousand years ago?
The God of Destruction's brow furrowed even more beneath his hood, and he subconsciously repeated those three words, his tone full of confusion and bewilderment.
Huo Yuhao let out a long breath and said, "I am indeed Huo Yuhao, but I am not the God of Emotions who became a god ten thousand years later."
"I come from ten thousand years ago. In that timeline, I had not yet inherited the God Position; I was just a Soul Master who had just graduated from the Shrek Academy."
"It was all because of a chance encounter that I gained the ability to travel through time, to go back and forth between ten thousand years ago and ten thousand years in the future."
"That's why I'm standing here now, standing before these two seniors."
After these words were spoken, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life on the opposite side both changed their expressions.
The two former God King had lived for countless millennia, witnessing countless geniuses and hearing countless strange and wonderful opportunities, but the ability to travel through ten thousand years was something even they had never heard of.
The God of Destruction couldn't help but take a step forward, his scarlet eyes beneath his cloak shooting out two breathtaking beams of light.
His voice rose several decibels in shock, echoing through the void. "How is this possible? Traversing ten thousand years of time—this is an ability even God King doesn't possess!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing through his mind.
Leng Yaozhu had remarked more than once that only true God could possess the ability to travel through time.
But now it seems that even the God King, who stands at the very top of the Divine Realm, cannot do this.
This realization filled Huo Yuhao with an indescribable excitement. It seemed that the significance of his opportunity far exceeded his previous boldest estimates.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and calmly met the two pairs of eyes of the two God King opposite him, eyes filled with shock.
He said calmly, "I don't know the specifics, but every word I just said is true. I do indeed come from ten thousand years ago."
The God of Destruction's crimson eyes trembled violently in the shadows of his cloak, clearly still reeling from this earth-shattering news.
Space can be torn apart, and time can be distorted, but those are realms that only God King level can barely touch, and at a great cost with many restrictions.
The fact that Huo Yuhao could travel safely across ten thousand years without any Divine Power and solely on his own was simply beyond his comprehension.
The God of Destruction remained silent for a long time, but the Goddess of Life beside him was the first to accept this fact.
She looked at Huo Yuhao and said gently, "I believe what you've said. With such an opportunity, you will definitely go further and stand higher than you ever have before."
At this point, the Goddess of Life suddenly paused.
Her emerald green eyes flickered slightly, as if trying to capture a fleeting glimpse of inspiration.
A moment later, her gentle eyes suddenly lit up.
She turned her head sharply to look at the God of Destruction was still standing there beside her. Her tone was less gentle than usual and more filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Little Purple, this is an opportunity."
The God of Destruction was taken aback by her sudden excitement. His crimson eyes, hidden beneath his hood, blinked, and he asked, somewhat bewildered, "What opportunity?"
The Goddess of Life took a deep breath and uttered a few words, one by one. "An opportunity to change your destiny."
Before the God of Destruction could react, she turned her gaze back to Huo Yuhao.
Those gentle, watery eyes of hers had suddenly turned fiery as she asked, "Xiao Yuhao, you just said you can travel through ten thousand years of time and space. Can you go back ten thousand years? Back to the era you originally belonged to?"
Looking into the hopeful eyes of the Goddess of Life, Huo Yuhao did not hide anything and nodded honestly.
"Yes, every so often, I can travel through ten thousand years of time."
"However, this power is not under my control, and the timing of its arrival is unpredictable, making it impossible to foresee when it will come."
"So I can only wait passively until that power appears before I can complete the crossing."
After Huo Yuhao recounted the details of his time travel, the Goddess of Life's emerald green eyes suddenly lit up like ignited stars.
She turned around abruptly, her slender fingers trembling slightly with excitement, and grabbed the arm of the God of Destruction, which was shrouded in a purple-black cloak.
"Little Purple, our fate is sealed, but the us of ten thousand years ago hadn't reached this point yet!"
"If Xiao Yuhao could bring our message back ten thousand years, back to the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life in that time and space."
"Then we can completely change our inevitable fate of death, and completely steer the history of that timeline down a completely different path!"
At this point, the God of Destruction's crimson eyes, hidden in the shadows of his cloak, flashed intensely.
Yes, this is indeed an opportunity.
The God of Destruction remained silent for a moment, suppressing the surging emotions within him, before solemnly fixing his gaze on Huo Yuhao.
His voice was still deep and authoritative, but it had lost some of the aloofness that had kept people at arm's length before, and had become more sincere and frank.
"Boy, since you have such an extraordinary opportunity, I won't hide it from you."
"Back then, the Divine Realm encountered an unprecedented Space-Time Turbulence. In order to protect the Divine Realm from being completely destroyed, the Goddess of Life and I almost exhausted our own primordial divine Divine Power to stabilize the Divine Realm's barrier."
"That is why we perished, and now our remaining strength is almost gone."
To put it bluntly, we cannot pass on your divine God Position.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's heart sank slightly, realizing that his chance to become a god was indeed not here.
The God of Destruction said nothing more, then raised his arm, his wide, purplish-black cloak sleeves waving in the void.
As he moved, a scepter appeared out of thin air in front of Huo Yuhao.
The scepter was very long; when it stood upright, it was even longer than his own height.
The staff's entire body exhibits a solidified purplish-black color, unlike the texture of ordinary metal, as if a real bolt of lightning from the heavens had been solidified and shaped.
The staff is long and slender, with each curve subtly reflecting the mysterious trajectory of some kind of law.
At the very top of the staff was a huge, pale purple jewel, about the size of an adult's fist. Inside, it churned with a thick, almost liquid, purplish-black light, radiating an intense aura of Destruction God.
However, Huo Yuhao's gaze was drawn to a shocking gaping hole on the top of the staff.
The edges of the gash were clean, as if it had been cleaved apart by some unimaginable divine weapon.
The notch, while still exuding a terrifying aura, subtly conveyed a sense of incompleteness.
At this moment, the God of Destruction slowly spoke, his tone tinged with undisguised sorrow.
"This is my Super Divine Tool, the Scepter of Destruction. However, the staff is now severely damaged and has fallen from its Super Divine Tool artifact rank. It can only unleash the power of an ordinary artifact now."
