Past Life Experiences

According to the memories of Wang Teng, in the "original work":

At eleven years old, Huo Yuhao not only encountered the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, but also met Tang Ya and Beibei first. They introduced him to the Tang Sect, which granted him the qualifications to enter Shrek Academy.

He studied and grew at Shrek Academy, made friends, and fell in love with a girl named Wang Dong'er. Under the protection and "cultivation" of Shrek, he eventually inherited the throne of the God of Emotions, ascended to the God Realm with Tang Wutong, and even... brought his past-life enemy Dai Hao to the God Realm, where the family lived "happily ever after"?

"Absurd..." Huo Yuhao whispered, his voice as cold as ice.

His past life was nothing like that!

The true trajectory of his past life emerged clearly in his mind:

At eleven, he left the White Tiger Duke Mansion filled with hatred and entered the Star Dou Great Forest alone.

He never met Tang Ya or Beibei, nor did he ever join the Tang Sect.

His only "miraculous encounter" was meeting the million-year soul beast, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, amidst the cold and despair.

It was Tian Meng who chose him, bestowing upon him a wisdom soul ring and the starting point for entering the world of soul masters.

Because he only had eleven levels of soul power and failed to meet the strict fifteen-level requirement for Shrek Academy, and as an illegitimate son who had defected from the Duke Mansion, he could not obtain a recommendation letter from any city lord or noble, so he missed his chance at Shrek Academy.

Fortunately, near the place where he fused with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he discovered an inconspicuous soul tool ring.

Tian Meng weakly told him that the original owner of the ring was an unlucky Titled Douluo who had exploded from overexertion during the time Tian Meng was controlling the fusion. At the time, Tian Meng could barely save itself and had no time to care for such "external possessions."

Huo Yuhao picked up the ring; the lingering aura of the Titled Douluo made his heart palpitate, but it became his greatest reliance in his early days.

It was precisely by relying on the resources and knowledge left behind by that Titled Douluo in the ring, combined with Tian Meng's guidance, that he was able to break through to level twenty at the age of twelve. In the Far North, he used a near-suicidal method to persuade the Ice Empress to fuse with him, gaining his second martial soul.

Those six months of solitary training—sleeping in the open, battling soul beasts, and struggling at the bottom of human society—allowed him to quickly recognize reality.

The object of his revenge was the pillar of the Star Luo Empire, the high and mighty White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao.

As a neutral holy land for soul masters, Shrek Academy would never support a student in overthrowing a high-ranking imperial official.

Therefore, the enemy of his enemy was his friend.

He thought of the Sun Moon Empire, which had long-standing friction with the Star Luo Empire and the White Tiger Legion under the White Tiger Duke.

Thus, he chose the Sun Moon Empire.

Relying on the exceptional talent of his twin martial souls, the four soul skills brought by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year soul ring, the Ultimate Ice granted by the Ice Empress, and the wisdom and resilience far beyond his peers honed in desperate situations.

He successfully passed the assessment, entered the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy, and quickly stood out, gaining the appreciation and focused cultivation of the then-master of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen.

At twelve and a half, with the help of high-quality medicinal pills provided by the academy and his own accumulation, he broke through to level thirty and successfully absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring (publicly disguised as a five-thousand-year ring through his simulation soul skill).

That same year, he was selected for the reserve team of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, and he appeared on the stage in the final.

He worked closely with Sun Moon geniuses like Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, and by relying on exquisite soul tool coordination and his own powerful control and combat ability, he defeated the Shrek Academy representative team, known as the "Undefeated Kings," in one fell swoop, winning the long-awaited glory for the Sun Moon Empire.

However, Shrek Academy's hot-tempered team leader, Xuan Zi, was so humiliated that he disregarded the tournament rules and his own reputation, attempting to use force to kidnap him and take him back to Shrek.

At the critical moment, the father of Sun Moon Empire soul tools, the ninety-fourth-level Titled Douluo Kong Deming, intervened in time to protect him.

At thirteen, through a twist of fate, he completed an attribute connection with the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, from the Star Dou Great Forest, forging a deep bond of destiny. He went to Shrek as an exchange student.

There, with the cultivation of a level forty soul ancestor, he defeated multiple soul emperors in succession, including top inner court disciples Han Ruoruo and Zhang Lexuan, who had suppressed their soul power to level sixty. This shook both academies, not only making a name for himself for the Sun Moon Empire but also causing the upper echelons of Shrek Academy to view him with deep wariness.

At fifteen, having finished his exchange and returned to the Sun Moon Empire, Huo Yuhao cultivated diligently, and his soul power broke through to level fifty.

Relying on his formidable physique, spiritual power, and profound understanding of the laws of ice, he made a shocking decision—to attempt to absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and he succeeded!

He became the first soul master in recorded history to possess a hundred-thousand-year soul ring at the soul king stage.

At the same time, because there was no Myriad-Year Mysterious Ice Bed to trigger the Snow Empress's rampage, Electrolux did not burn his divine consciousness, yet he still created the initial version of the Soul Spirit Contract. Due to her unstable origin, the Snow Empress became the first test subject of the Soul Spirit Contract.

Huo Yuhao signed the contract with the Snow Empress, and with her conscious consent, added a second seven-hundred-thousand-year soul ring to his Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.

That same year, he reunited with the Emperor Auspicious Beast—Di Qiu'er—who had transformed into human form and joined the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy. The two shared a mutual understanding and soon became a couple.

Knowing that working behind closed doors made it difficult to break through bottlenecks, Huo Yuhao and Di Qiu'er traveled the continent together.

In the Sunset Forest, they discovered one of the legendary three great treasure basins—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Although many immortal herbs and soul beasts there spoke in human tongues, uttering strange things about "Children of Destiny" and "Tang San" that they did not understand at the time, after sensing the vast, ultimate icy aura of the Snow Empress within Huo Yuhao, these immortal herbs and soul beasts wisely chose to "cooperate."

After harvesting a large number of rare immortal herbs, the strength of both soared, and they successively broke through to level sixty.

Afterward, they headed to the deep seas of the Far North. With the assistance of Di Qiu'er's auspicious beast aura and Huo Yuhao's sincere communication, they successfully persuaded the Sea Princess clan, leading the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the Mermaid Princess Li Ya, to voluntarily sacrifice herself to become Huo Yuhao's soul ring and soul spirit.

From sixteen to seventeen, the Body Sect came knocking.

The sect master, Du Busi, was amazed by the purity and power of Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye martial soul and personally invited him to serve as the young sect master of the Body Sect.

Huo Yuhao did not hesitate and refused directly.

However, he turned the tables; relying on his profound analysis of the continental situation and the predicament of the Body Sect, he successfully persuaded Du Busi, ultimately prompting the entire Body Sect to join the increasingly powerful Sun Moon Empire, adding a powerful high-level combat force to the empire.

At eighteen, Huo Yuhao broke through to level seventy.

This time, he was in no rush to find a new soul beast to absorb a soul ring.

Witnessing many of his close friends being soul beasts and having benefited deeply from them, he began to reflect on the "Soul Spirit Contract" he had participated in researching and promoting.

He keenly sensed that although the existing Soul Spirit Contract reduced the death of soul beasts, it was essentially still a plunder and binding of the potential of the soul beast race. In the long run, if this contract became mainstream, the autonomy and future of soul beasts would remain worrying, and it might even accelerate the decline of certain clans.
