Actively Traversing Through Time
After finishing his journey in the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao did not delay any longer. With a thought, he took Jin Li directly back to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters in Star Luo City.
The next morning, Huo Yuhao formally convened Spirit Pagoda High-Level Meeting.
He sat in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over the familiar faces on both sides of the long table. When he spoke, his tone was steady but carried an unquestionable air.
"I hereby announce that I am stepping down from my position as the head of the Spirit Pagoda, effective immediately."
"The second Tower Master the Spirit Pagoda was Gongyang Mo."
The Spirit Pagoda was relatively new ten thousand years ago, and there were no complex factions and conflicts of interest like they would be ten thousand years later. Therefore, Huo Yuhao's proposal was passed smoothly with almost no resistance.
Upon hearing this, Gongyang Mo straightened his back slightly, then nodded solemnly. Without further hesitation or statement, he simply replied, "I will do my best."
The transfer of power at the Spirit Pagoda was completed just like that.
In the following days, visitors continued to flock to the Spirit Pagoda.
Huo Yuhao no longer avoided them as before, but instead received each of the visitors who came to pay their respects.
There were representatives from the Shrek Academy, envoys from the Three Empires, and people sent by various sects and aristocratic families.
Their purpose for this trip was almost identical: to confirm whether Huo Yuhao had truly become a god.
Huo Yuhao did not disappoint them. Whenever someone asked a probing question, he only needed to release a wisp of his aura. The power of that aura, far exceeding that of Limit Douluo, was enough to dispel any doubts in the hearts of everyone present.
However, he did not show any arrogance when facing these forces. His tone was calm and his attitude was natural. He even took the initiative to leave a few polite words for future cooperation with the Spirit Pagoda.
He believed that even after his ascension, these people would still give the God Spirit Pagoda.
One more thing worth mentioning is that people from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy also came.
Jing Hongchen personally brought his grandson and granddaughter to visit, his expression carrying a subtle complexity.
The fact that a high-ranking official of the Sun Moon Empire appeared in front of the Spirit Pagoda while the Sun Moon Empire and the original Three Douluo Kingdoms were still at war was itself an extremely sensitive matter.
Out of consideration for their cooperative relationship with the Sun Moon Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao still received them.
Jing Hongchen didn't mention the war or the Holy Spirit Cult; he simply offered a few polite words under the guise of "congratulations" before taking his leave with his entourage.
But Huo Yuhao knew that after he returned, some information would soon be on the desk of Sun Moon Emperor Xu Tianran.
With the Sun Moon Empire's frontline war stalled and public discontent boiling over, a series of bad news reached Xu Tianran's ears.
But he never expected that Huo Yuhao would become a god, after all, no God had appeared on the continent for ten thousand years!
But now this thing, which should never have happened in Xu Tianran's plan, has actually happened. Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, Xu Tianran has no choice but to abandon his invasion plan.
Xu Tianran felt an indescribable fear rising in his heart when he thought about how he had once sent Long Xiaoyao of the Holy Spirit Cult to deal with Huo Yuhao.
He feared that Huo Yuhao would hold a grudge, and that this newly ascended God might personally intervene in his anger.
Xu Tianran had seriously studied the history of the Douluo Continent. He knew how powerful the Spirit Hall Empire was 20,000 years ago, yet it was ultimately wiped out by a divine war.
The Sun and Sun Moon Empire, however, has no God to oversee it.
If Huo Yuhao held a grudge and helped the original Three Douluo Kingdoms, the Sun Moon Empire might not even exist anymore.
At that time, Xu Tianran would naturally become the last emperor of the Sun Moon Empire.
As a ruthless and ambitious man, Xu Tianran would absolutely not allow himself to bear this title.
Therefore, the Sun Moon Empire suddenly began a large-scale withdrawal of troops, and then the news of Xu Tianran's abdication spread throughout the continent.
Subsequently, a descendant of a collateral branch of the royal family ascended the throne, and the first edict he issued was an unconditional ceasefire. He even took the initiative to cede territory and pay reparations in order to seek a quick peace.
When the message arrived, even the high-ranking officials who originally belonged to the Three Douluo Kingdoms were stunned for quite a while.
Then they realized that they were afraid of Huo Yuhao, this God!
Thus, this war, which swept across the entire continent, came to an end in an unexpected way.
Huo Yuhao did not personally take action from beginning to end, nor did he even utter a single word.
But the moment he became a god, he had already influenced the situation on the continent.
Therefore, it can be said that he single-handedly ended this war!
The past ten days or so passed by in the blink of an eye. Huo Yuhao had barely stopped during this time, meeting with guests from all sides and handling the handover of the Spirit Pagoda...
Now that everything that needed to be dealt with was finally done, he stood by the window on the top floor of the Spirit Pagoda, looking down at the city that was gradually quieting down in the twilight. The long-standing sense of urgency in his heart was slowly dissipating.
Jin Li sat on the sofa, her hands clutching the hem of her dress on her knees, her gaze fixed on his back. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Are you... going to the Divine Realm?"
Huo Yuhao turned around and nodded. "Yes, but before that, there's one more thing we need to try."
A hint of curiosity flashed in Jin Li's eyes. "Try what?"
Huo Yuhao didn't rush to answer; he simply closed his eyes briefly, his mind sinking into the Spirit Sea.
In that emerald green space, he casually waved his hand, and an ancient Bronze Mirror appeared out of thin air in his palm.
This is precisely what he relies on to traverse ten thousand years of time and space: the Super Divine Tool Kunlun Mirror.
Now that he has broken through to the God Level, he should be able to truly unleash the power of this divine artifact.
He slowly injected a wisp of Divine Power of Destruction into the mirror. The originally dim bronze light lit up slightly the moment the Divine Power touched it. The cracks on the mirror were still clearly visible, but they had an added layer of flowing luster, as if they were alive.
Then, that familiar feeling surged back into my heart; space was silently folding, and time was quietly bending.
When his vision cleared again, the scene before him had subtly changed. He was lying in his familiar bedroom, and the sky outside the window was just beginning to brighten. He had returned to ten thousand years in the future.
This was the first time he had actively traveled through time and space. His previous perception was correct; after becoming a god, he was indeed able to control the time it took for him to travel between the two worlds, and no longer needed to wait passively.
At the same time, he also vaguely sensed that he might be able to travel to other points in time.
However, a stable connection has been established between the two timelines now and ten thousand years ago, so he can travel back and forth at will.
Traveling to other points in time would likely consume a great deal of power and place a considerable burden on the Kunlun Mirror.
He looked down at the Bronze Mirror in his palm; the cracks running through the mirror were still clearly visible, like old wounds that had not yet healed.
Clearly, this Super Divine Tool is not in its "full-fledged" state. Rushing it to other Super Divine Tool in time might place a tremendous burden on it.
In order to protect this miraculous Super Divine Tool, Huo Yuhao decided not to easily dabble in other time periods.
If the Kunlun Mirror were to shatter completely as a result, it would be an irreparable loss for him.
