Seeing Na'er Again
Since Huo Yuhao became a god, his control over the Kunlun Mirror has become increasingly proficient, and he has initially grasped the core power of this Super Divine Tool.
The days of uncontrollable, random time travel are long gone; now, time travel is entirely at his command.
This time, because he was to receive the inheritance of the Goddess of Life, he stayed in the Divine Realm ten thousand years ago for a longer period of time than ever before.
However, for him, this was no longer a concern. After becoming a god, his Life God was already intertwined with eternity, and the passage of time was merely a measuring scale for him.
Moreover, no matter how long he stayed ten thousand years ago, when he returns to that point ten thousand years later, time will precisely fall on the moment he left.
Therefore, when Huo Yuhao returned to ten thousand years later, it happened to be a time when the Holy Spirit Cult had just been destroyed.
In recent years, the Holy Spirit Cult has been active all over the mainland, launching countless terrorist attacks, from border towns to bustling capitals, with countless ordinary people suffering as a result.
That oppressive feeling, intertwined with fear and anger, has long been deeply etched into the hearts of every ordinary person.
That is why, when the Federation officially announced the complete eradication of the Holy Spirit Cult and the execution of all the high-ranking Evil Soul Master, cheers erupted across the entire continent almost simultaneously.
The gloom that had been suppressed for years was finally dispelled by the sunlight at this moment.
However, at this very moment of jubilation, another message began to quietly circulate among the Federation leadership.
Huo Yuhao's true combat strength is no longer a secret.
The feat of single-handedly killing Demon Empress who had reached the level of True God is an achievement that cannot be concealed.
Soon, the news that "the master of the Spirit Pagoda has become a god" spread like wildfire among the high-ranking officials of the continent.
The people at the Spirit Pagoda had mixed feelings upon hearing this news.
The fact that the Tower Master became a god—a momentous event worthy of being recorded in history—was something they, the members of the Spirit Pagoda, only learned about last.
In recent days, the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters has become the busiest place on the entire continent.
The tower's higher-ups took turns running to Huo Yuhao's office, some under the guise of reporting on their work, others under the pretense of asking questions, all subtly trying to find out what level of cultivation their Tower Master had reached.
Huo Yuhao was fully aware of this, but he wasn't annoyed. He told everyone who came that he had already become a god.
Now, he holds the God King Position and is virtually invincible on the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later.
Even if Na'er and Gu Yue combined their powers and regained the full strength of the Silver Dragon King at his peak, they would still be far from being his match.
This level of understanding no longer needs to be concealed, nor is there anything to hide.
The news spread among the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda, and within a few days, the entire continent knew that after ten thousand years, another Deity had finally emerged on the Douluo Continent.
After the news spread, Shrek City became several times more bustling.
Powerful figures from all directions flocked to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, all wanting to pay homage to Huo Yuhao, the only God in ten thousand years.
Their purposes for this trip were similar: first, to confirm with their own eyes whether the master of the Spirit Pagoda had truly become a god.
Secondly, and more importantly, they wanted to find out the "secret" to becoming a god from him.
After all, the Divine Realm has been lost, and no one has ascended to godhood for ten thousand years. How did Huo Yuhao manage to do it?
If this problem isn't understood, every powerful individual who stands at the peak but is unable to break through will likely be unable to sleep peacefully.
Huo Yuhao didn't put on any airs of God King when receiving these guests; he warmly greeted them all with a friendly attitude.
When someone requested to witness his divine power firsthand, he cooperated by releasing a wisp of God aura. The overwhelming pressure, as vast as a galaxy and as deep as an abyss, was enough to convince any Titled Douluo.
When someone subtly inquired about the method to become a god, Huo Yuhao simply smiled and gave a few perfunctory replies before brushing it off.
After all, in this era ten thousand years later, the Divine Realm no longer exists, and even God Position are nowhere to be found. How could he possibly guide them on a path?
To others, this was seen as Huo Yuhao being unwilling to share the secret to becoming a god, but they dared not show the slightest anger because of it.
After all, this is only human nature, and they wouldn't dare to show the slightest disrespect to a true God.
After several busy days, Huo Yuhao's office finally regained a moment of peace and quiet as the guests gradually dispersed.
He leaned back in his chair, picked up his teacup, and enjoyed a rare moment of leisure.
Just then, two figures walked in side by side, one after the other.
Standing before Huo Yuhao at this moment were two strikingly different yet equally captivating beautiful girls.
One person had jet-black hair, while the other had snow-white hair, both gleaming softly in the sunlight streaming through the window.
The two hair colors, one black and one silver, complement each other beautifully, each with its own unique charm.
The two had completely different expressions; one had a faint smile on his lips, while the other's gaze was unfocused, and his face showed a hint of awkwardness that he was trying to hide.
Those who appeared here at this moment were naturally Gu Yue and Na'er.
Since the incident at the Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao hadn't seen Na'er for several months. Upon seeing her again, he couldn't help but tease her, "What's wrong? Our King Na'er seems a little shy today?"
Upon hearing this, Na'er's cheeks flushed red instantly, as if something she was hiding had been touched. She immediately widened her eyes and shouted at Huo Yuhao, "Who... who's shy?!"
Her anxious and annoyed expression only made her more endearing.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh out loud upon seeing this, and Gu Yue, who was standing next to him, also covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
The two laughed, Na'er's cheeks turned even redder to her ears. She stomped her foot and shouted angrily, "Hey! You two, don't go too far!"
Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue laughed for a while before they managed to suppress their laughter, and the office fell silent again.
Huo Yuhao cleared his throat, looked at the two of them, and softened his tone. "You two came together, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Na'er turned her head away, gave a soft hum, and looked like she didn't want to talk to her.
Finally, Gu Yue spoke, her tone calm yet solemn. "Now that you've become a god, shouldn't we start resolving that matter we agreed on before?"
Huo Yuhao knew exactly what Gu Yue was referring to. He nodded, his expression serious. "It is indeed time."
However, after saying that, he changed the subject, his gaze turning mischievously to Na'er beside him. A slight smile played on his lips as he deliberately drew out his words: "I just don't know... whether King Na'er supports my decision?"
Upon hearing this, Na'er's blush, which had not yet completely faded, immediately flared up again.
She had already learned from Gu Yue that Huo Yuhao knew her and Gu Yue's true identities all along, so when he said "King Na'er" at this moment, she naturally knew that he was still teasing her about what happened before.
She bit her lip, feeling both angry and helpless. Now that Huo Yuhao had become God King, she no longer had the ability to "deal with" him.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao is indeed genuinely willing to help the Soul Beast Clan, just as Gu Yue said.
Therefore, at this moment, Na'er's views had already quietly changed.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's smug look, she simply raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, her tone carrying a hint of resigned helplessness. "Please, stop talking. I support your decision, okay?"
Seeing her like this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle again before saying seriously, "Then let's go deal with Da Ming and Er Ming's matter first."
As he spoke, he stood up, walked around the desk, and looked as if he was about to leave right away.
