Gu Yuena: "You Became a God?!"
Because Huo Yuhao didn't try to hide it, the news of his ascension to godhood spread like wildfire.
The next day, a long queue formed in front of the Spirit Pagoda. Representatives from various forces, Soul Master who came upon hearing the news, and even Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Emperor personally came to pay a visit.
However, without exception, all of them were turned away, because Huo Yuhao was no longer at the Spirit Pagoda.
He took Jin Li with him and left Star Luo City early in the morning, their destination being the Star Dou Great Forest.
Unlike usual, Huo Yuhao, now a God Level, could tear through space with a thought and bring Jin Li directly to the Lake of Life in the Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest.
A breeze swept across the lake, creating ripples, while sunlight filtered through the layers of tree canopy, scattering across the water's surface in flowing golden dappled patterns.
Di Tian, who was sitting on the shore of the Lake of Life, suddenly opened his eyes. Just a moment ago, an aura that even he felt palpitate about appeared in his perception range without warning.
He suddenly raised his head and glanced at the scene, just in time to see Huo Yuhao holding Jin Li's waist as they slowly descended from mid-air to the shore.
Di Tian frowned slightly. In the past, he would have simply said, "Let go of my hand."
Although he had already agreed to Huo Yuhao and Jin Li being together, seeing the two so close still made him feel a pang of sadness, like an old father.
But he didn't say those words today, because his attention was completely drawn to the subtle aura emanating from Huo Yuhao.
He felt that Huo Yuhao was different from before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.
Before Di Tian could speak, a silver figure suddenly appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.
Her long, silver-white hair swayed gently in the wind with her movements, her silver dress accentuated her perfect curves, and her purple eyes were fixed intently on Huo Yuhao.
The figure that suddenly appeared was none other than the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena. She had not fallen into a deep sleep for a long time since Huo Yuhao last visited.
Standing before Huo Yuhao, her purple pupils trembled slightly, and her voice held a complex emotion she herself was unaware of. "You... you've become a god?!"
Although the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena is still recovering from her injuries, her essence remains that of God Level.
She had already keenly sensed the completely different aura within Huo Yuhao's body compared to before. It wasn't a further accumulation of Soul Power, but a transformation that occurred from the very source.
As soon as she finished speaking, Di Tian, who was standing to the side, suddenly came back to his senses. His heart skipped a beat, and his golden vertical pupils stared straight at Huo Yuhao, waiting for his answer.
Huo Yuhao met their gazes and smiled, saying, "That's right, I have completed the Divine Examination and inherited the Destruction God Position."
Upon hearing this, both Gu Yuena Di Tian's eyes trembled slightly.
Even though Gu Yuena had already determined that Huo Yuhao was the successor of the God, she never expected that he would complete this path so quickly.
Di Tian sighed with a complex expression, his sigh carrying an indescribable emotion, "Humans are indeed favored by heaven and earth, while my Soul Beast Clan is trapped by the curse that prevents us from becoming gods."
He was filled with resentment; with his cultivation and talent, he shouldn't have been kept out of that door.
However, it was precisely because of that "rule of heaven and earth" hanging above the Soul Beast's head that he was unable to move forward and was trapped to death on this Douluo Continent.
Gu Yuena clearly had a better understanding of the rules of the Divine Realm. Unlike Di Tian, she didn't indulge in sentimentality but instead asked directly, "Now that you've become a god, you won't be able to stay on the continent for much longer."
Huo Yuhao nodded. "I will ascend to the Divine Realm in half a month."
Looking at Gu Yuena's familiar face this time, Huo Yuhao felt a strange feeling that he couldn't quite explain.
After all, in the World Ten Thousand Years Later, after Gu Yue and Na'er merged, they were walking around in front of him with this very face.
Jin Li noticed the strange look that flashed across Huo Yuhao's eyes and knew why. A faint smile appeared on her lips, but she didn't say anything.
Huo Yuhao quickly regained his composure, his expression returning to normal, and continued, "I've come here mainly for two matters."
His gaze first turned to Di Tian, and he spoke calmly, "Senior Di Tian should know that I will soon step down as the Tower Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, and Gongyang Mo will become the next Tower Master. After that, you can communicate with him about anything in Xingdou."
Di Tian had some impression of Gongyang Mo, and upon hearing this, he nodded slightly without saying anything more.
Then Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to Gu Yuena, his tone becoming more serious. "After I ascend, Jin Li will remain in the Spirit Pagoda."
Before Gu Yuena could even speak, Di Tian, who was standing to the side, became displeased.
He frowned, his tone carrying undisguised displeasure. "What do you mean? Now that you've become a god, you look down on us Soul Beast?"
Huo Yuhao wasn't angry upon hearing this, but before he could explain, Jin Li interjected, "That's not how it is. Yuhao said that even if I ascended directly to the Divine Realm with him, I would only be a low-ranking God Official. He wants me to stay on the continent so he can secure God Position for me."
Hearing Jin Li's words, Gu Yuena Di Tian were both slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Huo Yuhao to make such an arrangement.
After transforming into human form, the Auspicious Beast is essentially human and is indeed no longer bound by the restriction that Soul Beast cannot become gods.
Di Tian's golden vertical pupils stared directly at Huo Yuhao, his tone unusually serious. "Are you really willing to seek God Position for Jin Li?"
Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly. "Of course, the Divine Realm is currently expanding, so finding a suitable God Position for Jin Li shouldn't be difficult."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian's eyes flickered slightly. He remained silent for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice, "If you truly succeed, then Jin Li was right about you."
Gu Yuena, who was standing to the side, spoke up at this moment. Her tone was much calmer than Di Tian's. "You are very different from the humans I remember. But no matter what, I have to thank you for this."
Huo Yuhao looked at her familiar face and smiled slightly. "It's what I should do."
After saying that, he paused slightly, as if he had thought of something, and then added, "When we reach the Divine Realm, I will inquire about why Soul Beast cannot become gods."
Gu Yuena's gaze turned slightly cold upon hearing this, and she snorted, "What other reason could there be? Naturally, it's because the gods of the Divine Realm don't allow it."
In her understanding, the Dragon God's fall was due to the siege of the gods, and the rule that Soul Beast are not allowed to become gods was naturally set by those God King.
However, during his interactions with the God of Destruction, Huo Yuhao sensed that the God of Destruction was not the kind of arrogant, self-centered God King who couldn't stand seeing Soul Beast become gods.
He always felt that there might be some hidden story behind this matter that had not yet been revealed, but he did not comment too much on Gu Yuena's words. He just kept the thought in mind and prepared to investigate it carefully after ascending to the Divine Realm.
