Perhaps many people thought of Huo Yuhao as a despicable, lecherous, and debauched minister who controlled the court and had effectively usurped the Star Crown Clan's empire.
But Huo Yuhao's strength, and how he had repeatedly used his power to ease disasters and fought back against the sweeping tsunamis with power like that of an ice-and-snow deity—those scenes were etched deeply in the hearts of countless people across the Star Luo Empire!
And in the final moment, the sight of Huo Yuhao blasting open the Heavenly Gate and charging alone toward the Divine Realm had become the greatest legend in the history of the Star Luo Empire.
That scene had far surpassed the moment Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing ascended to godhood together and followed Tang San into the Divine Realm, trailing behind him like servants and lackeys.
As long as there were people left in the Star Luo Empire, people recording history, creating paintings, and singing epics, the splendor of that scene was destined to be passed down from generation to generation!
The scene on the Sky Screen finally froze at that moment, then ended. The people outside it were left with a deep, hard-to-shake shock—one far greater than what they had felt in the previous two worlds!
[Multiverse Huo Yuhao Top 7: Star Luo Yuhao. Assessment complete. Although he had suffered countless humiliations and hardships in childhood, and had nearly fallen into ruin in the White Tiger Duke Mansion, he seized his chance under the favor of fate, successfully turned the tables, and ultimately became the master of the White Tiger Duke Mansion.]
[In this world, even his cultivation and strength had not yet fulfilled the true promise of his fortune and talent. He had fallen not long after reaching godhood. Yet he had wielded the first sword of defiance against fate, and his spirit deserved commendation.]
[Overall evaluation: A man above all others!]
Everyone was shaken. This time, the Sky Screen's assessment had risen another level from the previous world. Huo Yuhao had progressed from an NPC to a man above all others.
On closer comparison, although Huo Yuhao in this world had also been suppressed—and even enslaved—for a long time by the Duchess, his spirit had never been crushed or conquered. In the end, he had not only broken through the boundary of godhood, but had also protected his children and his people.
Huo Yuhao in this world might indeed have been somewhat debauched and shameless, but in the end, he really was incredible!
In the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Xu Jiawei nodded slightly. He had no sons or younger brothers to begin with, only several younger sisters. What worried him most was that the White Tiger Duke might rise to power again and eventually force the Star Crown imperial family to return its authority.
If a powerful man like Huo Yuhao could protect the Star Luo Empire, and the children he had with Xu Jiawei's sisters inherited the empire, then, deep down, Xu Jiawei could accept that completely. He might even call it a good outcome!
At least it was far more palatable than returning the empire to the Dai Family.
When everything was over, the only person driven to the brink of collapse was Dai Hao himself. Riding a Soul Beast-blooded warhorse, he raced back to the White Tiger Duke Mansion at full speed, his eyes already bloodshot.
"Pfft!"
The more Dai Hao thought about it on the road, the angrier he became. In the end, he even spat out a mouthful of blood, leaving his guards and adjutants completely at a loss.
"Your Grace!"
"General!"
"Are you all right...?"
"Hmph, I'm fine! Are you all laughing at me, too?"
Dai Hao suddenly turned a cold gaze on the people crowding around him and roared as if he'd lost control. For some reason, every look he saw on their faces seemed wrong to him.
It was as if the eyes of his loyal White Tiger Personal Guards, once filled with nothing but sincere devotion, now held a trace of pity!
"Your Grace, how could you say that? I never imagined Madam would actually..."
Dai Hao's adjutant offered a bitter smile. But his words only made Dai Hao tremble with rage once more. Dai Hao flung away the hand supporting him, clutched at his chest, and sank to the ground.
"Your Grace!"
"Get away! All of you, get away from me! Damn it, damn it! Xu Feiyan! When I get back, I'll settle the score with you, you wretch! Aaaaaagh..."
[Assessment rewards: Star Luo Dragon Qi x1, wealth x5,000,000,000 Gold Soul Coins, Star Luo Royal Auction House Black Gold Membership Card x1, Star Luo Empire Treasury Key x1, White Tiger Duke Mansion Treasury Key x1.]
After the rewards appeared on the Sky Screen, a faint wisp of dragon qi instantly slipped into Huo Yuhao's body. In an instant, Bei Bei and Tang Ya, standing beside him, felt that the young man before them had suddenly acquired an indescribable air of nobility.
As for Huo Yuhao himself, he could feel his mind becoming clearer in an instant, and the world before his eyes seemed sharper. His Soul Power Level also began rising rapidly under the influence of that miraculous force.
"So this is the Star Luo Empire's Dragon Qi... It's astonishingly miraculous."
Huo Yuhao was secretly amazed.
No wonder so many emperors and people in power on the Douluo Continent devoted much of their energy to matters outside cultivation, yet still became Soul Masters of considerable rank. Aside from having abundant cultivation resources, they probably benefited from some other form of compensation as well.
Along with the Star Luo Dragon Qi, a storage bracelet dropped down, and Huo Yuhao caught it. He inspected it and found that its interior space was enormous, and it was practically piled high with Gold Soul Coins, mountains upon mountains of them. There were so many he couldn't even begin to count them.
Beside it lay a black card, a pale-gold key engraved with a Star Crown pattern, and a silver key marked with a White Tiger design.
By the time the rapid increase in his Soul Power slowed, Huo Yuhao had already reached the bottleneck at level twenty. He estimated that his actual Soul Power Level had likely exceeded twenty.
He wouldn't know exactly what level he had reached until he absorbed his Second Soul Ring.
However, another question left Huo Yuhao deep in thought. What use were this auction house's Black Gold Membership Card and the treasury keys to the Star Luo Empire and the White Tiger Duke Mansion?
"But come to think of it, I really am rich now. If I go to the auction house, I might actually be able to buy quite a lot."
Huo Yuhao shook his head, putting those thoughts aside. The Sky Screen should have plenty more rewards to give, and it looked like they would keep getting better.
[Multiverse Yuhao Rank 6: Body Sect Yuhao!]
At that moment, new words finally appeared on the Sky Screen.
Everyone in the Body Sect instantly turned their eyes toward it. Du Busi stared intently at the words on the Sky Screen, took a deep breath, and then let it out.
"I want to see whether, with the Body Sect's guidance, this child can change that desperate fate. Sea God, huh? Heh, Sea God!"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions grew solemn.
This child truly had boundless fortune. But waiting for him at the end was also the most terrifying darkness...
