Jin Li: Had They Really Traveled Ten Thousand Years into the Future?!

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Jin Li returned directly to Star Luo City.

Not long after returning to the Spirit Pagoda, a staff member came to her door and told her that Huo Yuhao was waiting for her in his office on the top floor.

When she pushed open that familiar office door, she saw Huo Yuhao sitting behind his desk, not working, seemingly waiting for her.

The moment Jin Li's gaze fell upon him, the words Zi JI had spoken to her involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

This made her pause slightly as she stepped through the door, and her face unconsciously flushed slightly.

Huo Yuhao looked up and saw her like this, and couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

He was a little confused. It had only been a few days since they last met, so why did Jin Li blush when she saw him? This wasn't like her at all.

Huo Yuhao stood up from behind his desk, walked over to Jin Li, and pulled her to sit down on the sofa.

The two faced each other in silence for a moment, a subtle stillness seemingly flowing in the air.

Immediately, the two spoke almost simultaneously, saying in unison, "I have something to tell you!"

They both paused for a moment, then said simultaneously, "You go first."

As soon as the words were spoken, the coincidence made both of them burst into laughter, and the slightly awkward atmosphere from before was somewhat dispelled.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. "Then I'll go first."

His smile slowly faded, and his expression became more serious as he looked at Jin Li and asked, "Jin Li, have you noticed anything unusual about your Spirit Sea?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Li frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled as to why Huo Yuhao would suddenly ask such a question.

She thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No, why?"

Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, a conflicted expression lingering on his face as if he were considering how to begin.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Jin Li couldn't help but speak first, "Just say what you want to say, why are you hesitating?"

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, looked into Jin Li's golden eyes, and said seriously, "Jin Li, Dong'er's body has a problem. Her soul is incomplete, and that missing part of her soul is deep within your Spirit Sea."

"How could it possibly be in my Spirit Sea?!"

Jin Li gasped, sitting bolt upright, her golden eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Huo Yuhao's voice remained calm as he said, "This matter is very complicated; God from the Divine Realm are involved."

Jin Li remained silent for a long time, her golden pupils slightly lowered, as if she was trying to process the impact of this information.

She never doubted Huo Yuhao's words.

After a long while, she slowly raised her head and said, "You're telling me all this because you want to take her soul away, isn't that right?"

Huo Yuhao didn't shy away from the question and nodded, "That's right, with an incomplete soul, Dong'er's Life God will be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Jin Li's gaze flickered slightly.

Her voice trembled slightly, as if she were trying to suppress some emotion. "So... all you've been thinking about is Wang Dong'er."

Huo Yuhao's heart tightened upon hearing these words.

He realized that his expression had been too direct, only thinking about explaining the ins and outs of the matter, but neglecting Jin Li's feelings.

He quickly spoke, his voice urgent. "No! You are just as important to me!"

If the God of Destruction hadn't intervened in time, Jin Li would have had to Sacrifice for him.

From that moment on, not only did Jin Li confront her feelings, but Huo Yuhao also realized that his feelings for Jin Li were no longer simply guilt, but also love that had grown from it.

Seeing that Jin Li's once bright golden pupils were now shrouded in mist, losing their usual liveliness and brilliance, Huo Yuhao's heart tightened slightly.

He took a deep breath and slowed his speech. "Jin Li, the part of Dong'er's soul appearing in your body is a scheme secretly orchestrated by a God, and that God's ultimate target is actually me."

Upon hearing this, Jin Li slowly raised her head, her golden eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao's face with a particularly serious expression.

Huo Yuhao met her gaze and continued, "Your Sacrifice for me was also secretly arranged by that God; it was the inevitable ending in your original destiny."

"So from the very beginning I've kept my distance from you, not wanting you to have too much to do with me, and trying to change your fate of Sacrifice."

"But in the end, in the Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love's Questions, you almost fell for his trick. If the Destruction God King hadn't intervened in time, you would have already Sacrifice for me."

Jin Li listened attentively, and the slight sense of grievance and disappointment in her heart was gradually being replaced by a deeper curiosity.

She couldn't help but ask, "How do you know my original destiny?"

Huo Yuhao looked at her, his expression serious and earnest. "Because I have been to the World Ten Thousand Years Later, and our story is recorded in the history books."

"The World Ten Thousand Years Later? How is that possible!"

Jin Li couldn't help but gasp in surprise. What Huo Yuhao said was simply too unbelievable and beyond her comprehension.

Huo Yuhao's tone was more serious than ever before. "Nothing is impossible. Would you like to experience it for yourself?"

He asked this because just now, through the Kunlun Mirror, he had clearly sensed the time of his next time travel: one hour from now.

The layer of dim mist in Jin Li's eyes was gradually dissipating, restoring its former clarity.

She looked at Huo Yuhao and nodded instinctively.

Although the Abyss's attack was repelled, the Douluo Continent did not return to peace.

If it weren't for the collusion between the Evil Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Cult and those inside and outside the Abyss, the Abyss Plane might not have been able to break through that defensive line that had been guarded for six thousand years so easily.

In an instant, a full-scale siege against the Holy Spirit Cult was launched once again across the continent. The Federation Army, the War God Temple, the Spirit Pagoda, the Tang Sect, and other major forces all took action to hunt down those Evil Soul Master hiding in the shadows.

For a time, it seemed as if the Evil Soul Master had truly vanished.

Inside the Spirit Pagoda 'Cultivation Room, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes.

He was already used to such time travel.

He sat up straight, stretched his slightly stiff shoulders and neck, and then raised his hand to make a few gestures in the air.

Golden Magic Rune flew from his fingertips, crisscrossing and swirling in the air, as if drawn by an invisible pen, and finally coalesced on the ground into a complete Hexagram Array.

A flash of light, and Jin Li's figure appeared in the very center of the Magic Circle.

As soon as she appeared, she couldn't help but shake her head and look around.

The color of the walls, the style of the Soul Guidance Lamp, the atmosphere in the air—everything was so unfamiliar.

An hour ago, she was standing in the top-floor office of the Spirit Pagoda in Star Luo City, and then she was taken into a small world called the Undead Plane.

And now, she found herself in this completely unfamiliar room, and the seed of "curiosity" within her was rapidly expanding.

Huo Yuhao stood up, walked to the door of the Cultivation Room, pushed it open, and turned to Jin Li behind him, saying, "Come with me."

Jin Li didn't ask any further questions, but quickly followed after him.

As the Emperor Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, her perception of the Heaven and Earth Vitality is far more acute than that of ordinary Soul Master.

When she first appeared in this Cultivation Room, she immediately sensed a significant change in the Heaven and Earth Vitality and earth compared to before.

Could it be... that I've really traveled to ten thousand years in the future?

Filled with questions, she followed Huo Yuhao out of the Cultivation Room.
