Yun Ming's Plan to Infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult
The primordial energy between heaven and earth was distinctly different from what he had previously sensed. The architectural style of the entire city was rugged and simple, exuding an ancient charm that could only be seen in historical illustrations.
There were no products of Soul Guidance Technology on the streets; there were no Soul Guidance Car, no Mecha, and no Battle Armor.
A huge plaque hanging outside the city wall prominently displayed the three characters "Star Luo City," but this was clearly not the Star Luo Continent he knew.
Moreover, from the conversations of the people in the city, it was clear that this was not the place he originally belonged to!
The more he investigated, the more alarmed he became; the more he confirmed, the more unbelievable it seemed.
An absurd idea gradually took shape in Yun Ming's mind: this seemed to be a world from ten thousand years ago.
But... how could that be?
Could it be an illusion?
With his Divine Power, what level of illusion could possibly deceive his senses?
Just as Yun Ming was completely baffled, and the two clusters of golden Soul Fire flickered violently in his eye sockets, Huo Yuhao had been standing quietly to the side, finally spoke.
His voice wasn't loud, and his tone was as calm as stating a perfectly ordinary fact, but every word he uttered struck Yun Ming like a thunderclap. "Elder Yun, welcome to the world of ten thousand years ago."
Yun Ming looked at Huo Yuhao, the two clusters of golden Soul Fire pulsating violently in his eye sockets, and his usually calm and steady tone carried a hint of disbelief that even he himself could not completely suppress.
His voice trembled slightly as he asked, "Is this... really the Douluo Continent from ten thousand years ago?"
Huo Yuhao nodded seriously. "That's right, this is the Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago. I accidentally gained the ability to travel through time and space, and can travel between the two worlds ten thousand years ago and ten thousand years later."
Based on Yun Ming's understanding of Huo Yuhao, this young man was meticulous and composed, and there was no reason for him to lie to him about such an absurd matter.
Moreover, the surrounding scenery seemed to confirm Huo Yuhao's words.
He forcibly suppressed the turbulent emotions surging within him and slowly floated to the huge French windows, looking down through the clear glass at the ancient Star Luo City from ten thousand years ago.
After a moment, Yun Ming finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his tone filled with awe and shock. "Traversing ten thousand years of time, moving between two worlds, this is probably a power that only a true God could wield."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao secretly scoffed to himself, "Even God King couldn't do that; this was said by the Destruction God King himself."
However, after a moment of silence, Yun Ming suddenly froze, as if he had suddenly thought of something.
He slowly turned around to look at Huo Yuhao, and asked, word by word, "You... you wouldn't happen to be the Huo Yuhao from ten thousand years ago, would you?"
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting Yun Ming to have thought of this so quickly.
He met Yun Ming's extremely complicated gaze and nodded slightly. "That's right, I am Huo Yuhao of this world, the Spirit Ice recorded in the history books ten thousand years later."
The two clusters of golden Soul Fire in Yun Ming's eye sockets flickered violently twice; this shock was no less than when he had just confirmed that he was in a world ten thousand years ago.
Spirit Ice Douluo is one of the most legendary figures in the history of the Shrek Academy, an ancestor-level figure whose name all the younger generation of Shrek grew up hearing.
Now, this legendary ancestor was standing right in front of him, a boy he had known for a long time and always regarded as a junior.
The office became much quieter, and Yun Ming was now unsure how to face Huo Yuhao.
Finally, Huo Yuhao broke the silence first. "Elder Yun, in this world ten thousand years ago, no one knew you. As long as the soul's origin remains, Lich can live Undying."
"If you wish, you can live here, stand in the sunlight again, and feel the wind, the rain, and the vibrant life of this world once more."
Hearing Huo Yuhao still address him as "Elder Yun," Yun Ming was slightly taken aback, and then the complex and unspeakable unease in his heart quietly dissipated.
He readily accepted the title and refocused his attention on Huo Yuhao's suggestion.
He was indeed stirred with an irrepressible excitement at the suggestion.
He said he would stay in the Undead Plane, but who would truly be willing to stay in a desolate, dark, and uninhabited place?
He lost his physical body, but he still longed to see living flowers, trees, and plants, to hear people talking and laughing, and to live in a real world with the changing seasons and the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death.
"Do we live in this world?"
Yun Ming murmured to himself, gazing at the bustling streets and rows of buildings of Star Luo City below, a faint longing flickering deep within his Soul Fire.
Seeing that he was interested, Huo Yuhao pressed his advantage and continued, "If Elder Yun is willing, he might as well join the Spirit Pagoda, which was newly established ten thousand years ago."
His earlier statement to Gongyang Mo that "it was all planned in advance" included Yun Ming.
Although Yun Ming has lost his physical body and his strength is far from his peak, he is still comparable to a Super Douluo.
With him overseeing the Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao could feel more at ease.
However, to his surprise, after hearing these words, Yun Ming remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
He turned around and floated in front of Huo Yuhao, his voice even deeper than before. "Yuhao, the era you live in should also be the era of the rise of the Holy Spirit Cult, right?"
According to historical records, on the Douluo Continent, after the Sea God Tang San became a god 20,000 years ago, Evil Soul Master gradually began to appear.
These Evil Soul Master revel in killing and feed on resentment, causing devastation wherever they go and committing countless crimes throughout the continent.
However, most of those Evil Soul Master were scattered individuals, fighting independently without any unified command.
Even if a few Evil Soul Master occasionally cultivate to the level of Titled Douluo, they are all lone wolves who go their own way. Although they are ferocious, they can never amount to much.
However, ten thousand years ago, in the era in which Huo Yuhao is now, those Evil Soul Master were originally fighting separately were suddenly brought together as if by an invisible hand, uniting like never before and establishing the so-called Holy Spirit Cult.
From then on, the shadow of the Holy Spirit Cult loomed over the entire continent like a malignant tumor for ten thousand years!
Huo Yuhao sensed the hatred for the Holy Spirit Cult in Yun Ming's tone. Although he was unwilling to get involved in the reconstruction of the Shrek Academy, it did not mean that he had given up his hatred for the Holy Spirit Cult.
Huo Yuhao guessed Yun Ming's thoughts and asked, "Elder Yun intend to infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Yun Ming slowly opened his arms, displaying his illusory body.
A self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips, his tone tinged with bitterness yet unusually frank. "Look at me now, am I not a born Evil Soul Master?"
"No need for disguise. If I just stand there, who would doubt that I'm not Evil Soul Master?"
"I'm afraid the Holy Spirit Cult members will think I'm some Old Demon's been in seclusion for years has finally come out of hiding."
After speaking, he slowly lowered his hands, his expression turned serious, and the light in his Soul Fire suddenly sharpened. "According to the records of the Shrek Academy's internal secret texts, ten thousand years ago... in this very era, the Holy Spirit Cult was once besieged and nearly wiped out."
"However, later events proved that the encirclement and suppression operation failed to completely eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult, and some members still managed to escape and remain hidden."
"Perhaps only by infiltrating the Holy Spirit Cult can we truly understand the entire network of this organization and eradicate it completely."
Hearing Yun Ming's resolute tone, Huo Yuhao knew that he had made his decision, so he didn't try to stop him.
He simply sighed softly, "With Elder Yun personally taking action, I believe the Holy Spirit Cult will be completely annihilated this time. Ten thousand years from now, perhaps we will no longer hear news of Evil Soul Master running rampant on the continent."
He paused, then said, "However, Elder Yun, there's no need to rush. You can first learn the methods of a Lich from your teacher, which will help you better disguise yourself as Evil Soul Master."
Yun Ming remained silent for a moment after hearing this, then slowly nodded, accepting Huo Yuhao's suggestion.
Electrolux is a master of Necromancy, a being even closer to God Level than he is.
If he could learn some of the true skills of the Lich from Electrolux, his strength would be further enhanced, and his chances of destroying the Holy Spirit Cult would be even greater.
