Huo Yuhao: What Right Did Dai Hao Have to Ascend to the God Realm?!

Seeing Huo Yuhao's surprised expression, Dai Tianling smiled and said, "It should be true. This notebook is a secret manual passed down through generations of the White Tiger Lineage. It only circulates among emperors throughout history, and outsiders have no idea of its existence."

"There's no point in making up lies in this kind of thing; after all, it's something reserved for our own people."

Huo Yuhao, however, secretly thought to himself, "That's not necessarily true."

The preceding content regarding the father-son relationship was clearly Dai Hao's attempt to whitewash himself.

However, on the other hand, Dai Hao really had no reason to lie about the fact that Xu Yunhan was the Spirit Ice Douluo.

Huo Yuhao frowned inwardly. In this timeline, had he really had such a deep connection with the legendary Empress War God Ju Zi of the Sun Moon Empire? So deep that they even had a child together!

According to historical records, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, should have met Ju Zi when he went to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy as an exchange student.

However, ten thousand years ago, he wouldn't go to the Sun Moon Empire as an exchange student as in the original historical trajectory.

However, not long afterward, in order to Spirit Pagoda within the Sun Moon Empire, he would personally make a trip to Ming Capital.

Previously, he hadn't been particularly interested in this Empress War God, but now, after reading this notebook, he really wanted to see this woman named Ju Zi in person.

Huo Yuhao suppressed his subtle emotions for the time being and turned his attention back to the diary in his hand.

The rest of the content consisted mostly of daily records, but when Huo Yuhao turned to the last page, his gaze suddenly sharpened once again.

He almost instinctively held his breath, brought the page closer and looked at it repeatedly, making sure he hadn't misread a single word before suddenly looking up.

He looked at Dai Tianling and asked, "Spirit Ice Douluo's... father, he also went to the Divine Realm?!"

Huo Yuhao asked this question because on the last page of this yellowed notebook, there was a passage written in bold.

The record states that Spirit Ice Douluo, who had already ascended to the Divine Realm, quietly returned to the Douluo Continent after becoming a god and guided Dai Hao, the White Tiger Duke who had already ascended to the throne as the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, to the Divine Realm.

Before leaving, Dai Hao weighed his options and ultimately passed the throne to his youngest son, Dai Luoli.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's question, Dai Tianling couldn't help but reveal an undisguised look of pride.

He straightened his back and said matter-of-factly, "According to the records in this ancestral book, that is indeed the case."

"After all, our ancestor Dai Hao was the biological father of Spirit Ice Douluo. It's only natural that his son, who had become a god, would take him to the Divine Realm to share eternal life."

Huo Yuhao's face showed no emotion, but inwardly he roared, "Normal my ass!"

He knew himself too well. Even if he was deceived by Dai Hao's sweet talk in this timeline, his mother's death was an unresolved knot in his heart.

Even if he hadn't fought Dai Hao, he would never have been able to bring him to the Divine Realm.

Therefore, something must have happened during this period that you are completely unaware of at the moment!

Huo Yuhao exhaled a long breath, forcibly suppressing the complex emotions surging in his heart. He then gently closed the yellowed notebook and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.

He stood up and bowed slightly to Dai Tianling: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for allowing me to see these hidden records. Today's trip to the palace has been very beneficial."

Dai Tianling also stood up, looked at Huo Yuhao, waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite. As I just said, we're not exactly outsiders."

Huo Yuhao's mind was filled with questions about "what happened to the person he was in history," so he didn't have the energy to chat with Dai Tianling about everyday matters.

He then bowed again and said, "Thank you again for your hospitality, Your Majesty. If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."

Having seen countless people, Dai Tianling could naturally tell that Huo Yuhao truly wanted to leave, so she didn't try to stop him any further.

He escorted Huo Yuhao to the study door, then specifically instructed Dai Yueyan, "Yueyan, you personally escort Yuhao back to the Star Luo Grand Hotel."

Dai Yueyan nodded and replied, "Yes, Father."

The Soul Guidance Car smoothly drove out of the Star Luo Imperial Palace and merged into the wide and clean main road of Star Luo City.

Dai Yueyan sat in the passenger seat and glanced at the silent boy in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

After getting into the car, Huo Yuhao leaned back in his seat, his brows furrowed, his gaze deep, and he was immersed in some complex thoughts.

Although Dai Yueyan was curious about what Huo Yuhao was thinking, she didn't interrupt. The carriage remained quiet the entire way, with only the faint hum of the soul-guided engine remaining.

The distance from the Star Luo Imperial Palace to Star Luo Grand Hotel wasn't far; a dozen minutes later, the Soul Guidance Car stopped in front of the hotel's huge revolving door.

After politely bidding farewell to Dai Yueyan, Huo Yuhao got out of the car and stepped onto the hotel's red carpet.

He's not one to dwell on things; if he can't figure something out, he simply lets it go.

The course of history from ten thousand years ago has already been greatly altered because of him, and the fate of Huo Yuhao on another timeline may no longer offer any guidance to him.

As he rode the elevator upwards, the doors opened and he bumped into a middle-aged man standing at the elevator entrance.

The man was dressed in a sharp suit and wore gold-rimmed glasses; he possessed a refined and composed demeanor.

He clearly hadn't expected to run into Huo Yuhao here. He paused for a moment, then nodded to him as a greeting before stepping into the elevator.

Huo Yuhao recognized this person; he was also a member of the Federation Inspection Delegation, and his status was quite high—he was Sima Lanxiao, the Federation Minister of Foreign Affairs. However, he remembered that the other party did not stay at the Star Luo Grand Hotel.

Huo Yuhao turned right along the corridor and walked to the door of the presidential suite at the end of the corridor, then pushed the door open.

The living room was spacious and bright, and Han Tianyi and Gu Yue were sitting on the sofa.

Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over the sofa to the side of the two people. There were still obvious creases on it, and a teacup with faint steam was on the coffee table next to it, obviously someone had just sat there.

A glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Han Tianyi and asked, "Was Sima Lanxiao here just now?"

Han Tianyi nodded and said directly, "He said that the Star Luo Empire is holding a youth Soul Master competition, which is of a high standard. All the young people of the Star Luo Continent are participating. He came here to invite you and Gu Yue to participate."

"The Youth Soul Master Tournament?" Huo Yuhao walked to the sofa and sat down. "I have no interest in participating in this kind of competition."

With his current strength, let alone his peers, even geniuses who are ten or twenty years older than him would be no match for him.

Participating in this competition was no different from bullying noobs for him; it was meaningless.

Han Tianyi seemed to have anticipated his response, and slowly added, "Really not participating? I've heard that the grand prize for this competition is a Soul Bone."

"The Star Luo Empire is quite generous; they're even willing to offer Soul Bone as prizes."

Huo Yuhao didn't even lift his eyelids, shaking his head without hesitation. "It probably can't be Soul Bone of particularly high age; it wouldn't be of any real use to me."

Han Tianyi finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I knew you would say that. Don't worry, I already turned Sima Lanxiao down for you when she came over earlier."

Huo Yuhao smiled upon hearing this, then turned his gaze to Gu Yue, who was sitting unusually quietly on the opposite sofa, and asked, "What about you? Aren't you planning to participate either?"

Gu Yue gently shook her head. "I don't have time to participate. I happen to have something to tell you; I might have to leave for a while in a few days."

"Leave for a while?"

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Gu Yue nodded and explained, "Yes, some people from the family have also come to the Star Luo Continent. There are some things I need to take care of. It won't be long; I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

Both Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue harbor shocking secrets, a fact they are both fully aware of.

After that previous "confession," the two developed a tacit understanding in their interactions: neither would pry into the other's secrets until the other had taken the initiative to speak.

Therefore, although Gu Yue did not say it explicitly, Huo Yuhao did not ask a single question.

He simply reached out and grasped Gu Yue's slightly cool hand resting on the sofa armrest, saying, "Okay, call me anytime if you need anything."

Gu Yue's hands clenched slightly as she looked at Huo Yuhao and nodded with a smile.
