Huo Yuhao: It Means Exactly What It Says
Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "Yuhao, can he... be taken away?"
Huo Yuhao understood what she meant; she was worried that Tang Hao might have become one with the plane, inseparable from it, like Ah Yin.
He smiled and said, "He's different from Ah Yin. Ah Yin has completely merged with the Life Core, like roots embedded in the earth, inseparable."
"Although Tang Hao suppressed the Plane Consciousness, he has not yet truly become the Plane Master; he has merely seized control by force."
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao's expression changed drastically. He struggled violently, his voice filled with anxiety and anger. "What did you do to Ah Yin?!"
Huo Yuhao glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't worry, she is now the Life Core of the Douluo Continent, so naturally we won't harm her."
"But from now on, she will only be the Life Core."
"The name Ah Yin will no longer exist, nor will she have her own will."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao didn't give Tang Hao a chance to speak again. With a casual wave of his hand, an invisible force probed into Tang Hao's body.
Tang Hao groaned, feeling a tearing sensation as if he were being forcibly ripped away from the depths of his soul. Immediately afterward, a white mist slowly overflowed from his body, floating in mid-air and breaking free from Tang Hao's restraints.
That was the original Plane Master in the Douluo Continent, an existence that had been suppressed and devoured by Tang Hao for ten thousand years.
The original Plane Master had not taken form, nor did he have any Autonomous Consciousness; he simply operated instinctively according to the rules.
However, over the past ten thousand years, due to Tang Hao's continuous "devouring" and suppression, it has actually developed its own will in the process of constantly resisting, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.
After escaping Tang Hao's control, the "white mist" floated blankly for a moment before slowly drifting towards Huo Yuhao. It gently circled his shoulder and rubbed against his cheek twice, its movements carrying a childlike affection and tenderness.
This is not only because Huo Yuhao had just "rescued" it from Tang Hao, but also because Huo Yuhao was the Child of Luck of the Douluo Continent, and naturally had an affinity with the will of the plane.
Huo Yuhao looked down at it, his gaze softening slightly.
He stretched out his finger and gently tapped the wisp of white mist, then smiled and said, "You're free now."
The will of the plane gently brushed against Huo Yuhao's cheek twice more before reluctantly drifting away into the distance.
Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze, glanced at Tang Hao beside him who looked utterly dejected and ashen-faced, and uttered two words indifferently. "Let's go."
For Huo Yuhao now, he can reach any point on Douluo Planet with a single thought, no matter where it is in the world.
With a slight thought, he gently swirled the spatial power around him, and the three figures instantly vanished from their original spot.
The next moment, a biting wind, carrying a chilling cold, rushed towards us, making our robes flutter and stirring up the snow on the mountain peaks, which reflected a crystalline light in the midday sun.
Looking out, one sees a continuous range of snow-capped mountains, all covered in silver, with layer upon layer of peaks, leaving only a vast expanse of white between heaven and earth.
This place is the Endless Mountains in the Far Western Lands of the Douluo Continent, with an average altitude of over 6,000 meters. It is covered with snow all year round and is rarely visited by people.
At this moment, directly below Huo Yuhao, a military camp was nestled among the mountains, its layout meticulous, its tents neatly arranged, exuding an aura of iron-blooded ruthlessness.
The most mysterious legion on the continent is stationed here— the Blood God Legion.
They are unknown, yet they have silently guarded this border region for thousands of years; nameless, yet truly great.
Huo Yuhao did not deliberately conceal his aura, so as soon as he appeared in this airspace, he was keenly detected by the experts of the Blood God Legion.
Below, from within the military camp, powerful auras erupted one after another, followed by more than a dozen figures soaring into the sky and standing in mid-air, subtly surrounding Huo Yuhao and his two companions. These were all powerful experts at the Titled Douluo level.
"Tower Master, what brings you here?"
A steady voice came from afar, and at the same time, two figures appeared suddenly opposite Huo Yuhao as if tearing through space.
The two men were dressed in standard military uniforms, with upright figures and faces that looked no more than thirty or forty years old, but they were probably over a hundred years old, because they both exuded the aura of Limit Douluo.
Although he had never met these two people, he had already read the information about the Blood God Legion and could immediately identify them.
The general on the left with three stars on his shoulder insignia should be Cao Dezhi, the Blood God Legion's Blood One and Douluo of Ruthlessness.
The lieutenant general on the right is Zhang Huanyun, the commander of the Blood God Legion and the Mirror Douluo.
The two of them have been stationed at the forefront of the Endless Mountains for many years, guarding against the movements of the Abyss Plane day and night. Therefore, they had never left their posts to visit Huo Yuhao at the Spirit Pagoda before.
Although they were in a remote area, they were not isolated from information; they had already heard about Huo Yuhao's ascension to godhood.
However, when faced with a suddenly arriving God Level expert, Cao Dezhi and Zhang Huanyun felt more wariness than awe.
After all, they didn't know whether Huo Yuhao, after becoming a god, would still retain his original nature.
If he truly harbors the idea of ruling the continent, with the power of God, there is probably no one on the entire Douluo Planet who could restrain him.
This uncertainty made their expressions exceptionally serious, and they secretly gathered their Soul Power, preparing to deal with any unexpected changes at any time.
Huo Yuhao noticed the subtle wariness in their eyes, but he didn't care. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "You two don't need to be nervous. I have no ill intentions in coming here."
As he spoke, his gaze swept past the two men and landed on the military camp below, looking at the figures standing solemnly in the cold wind. His voice carried a hint of respect. "The Blood God Legion guards this place, their merits are immense, they are heroes of the entire continent, however..."
He paused, then changed the subject. "You no longer need to guard this place."
Upon hearing this, the Blood God Legion experts around them were all taken aback, exchanging puzzled glances, clearly not understanding what this statement meant.
Cao Dezhi frowned slightly, a thought suddenly popping into his mind, yet he was somewhat unsure, and asked in a deep voice, "What does Tower Master mean by that?"
Huo Yuhao didn't beat around the bush; his tone was crisp and clear. "It means exactly what it says."
He then suppressed his smile and became serious, "I will venture into the Abyss, and after that, there will be no more Abyss invasions."
Before the words were even finished, Huo Yuhao and the other two figures vanished from sight like afterimages scattered by the wind, leaving only ripples in the space and a moment of silence.
In mid-air, the powerful members of the Blood God Legion exchanged bewildered glances. After a long while, one of them finally came to his senses and asked uncertainly, "What... exactly did he mean by that?"
Cao Dezhi and Zhang Huanyun exchanged a glance, both with barely concealed excitement in their eyes, clearly having gleaned the deeper meaning from Huo Yuhao's words.
Zhang Huanyun took a deep breath, turned her gaze to the bottomless Abyss below, and a slow smile appeared on her lips, "It means exactly what it says."
He paused, his voice filled with a relieved excitement. "He intends to single-handedly eliminate the scourge of the Abyss."
