Beside a small stream still some distance away from the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Bye-bye, little brother Huo Yuhao! Thanks for the treat, see you around!"

With a lingering attachment to the delicious grilled fish and grease still coating her lips, Tang Ya, already a young beauty despite her tender age, waved a reluctant goodbye to Huo Yuhao.

Beside her, Bei Bei shook his head with a look that was thirty percent helpless and seventy percent doting, then offered a polite nod to Huo Yuhao.

The two of them walked away together, chatting and laughing.

"Whew..."

"Finally sent those two off."

"I'm exhausted!"

Huo Yuhao wiped the sweat from his forehead—a result of his grilling efforts—and let out a long sigh.

He glanced sideways at the pile of fish bones on the ground and couldn't help but think viciously, That Tang Ya can really eat! Why didn't you turn into a big, chubby girl from all that food!

After venting his frustration, Huo Yuhao leaned back against a large tree and slumped down, sprawling out in a relaxed posture as he stared up at the sky.

Honestly.

His head was still spinning.

"I can't believe I actually transmigrated."

"But why Douluo Continent II? Why did it have to be Huo Yuhao!"

He felt like crying but had no tears.

His original name was Huo Gua, and perhaps because his name was too abstract, the heavens rewarded him by transmigrating him into the plot of Douluo Continent II: Peerless Tang Sect.

He had become the veritable "Huo Gua."

But he didn't have the essential, universally beloved transmigrator's system, nor did he have some invincible golden finger that would let him hear a 'ding,' press a button, and kick the "beloved" God King Tang three miles away.

He had simply awakened his memories—or rather, his past-life wisdom—the moment Huo Yuhao left the Duke Mansion, and along with them, he recalled the entire plot of the second installment.

But remembering it all was worse than not knowing at all!

Logically speaking, transmigrating into the protagonist and knowing the entire future plot should mean taking advantage of that edge to seize opportunities and reach the pinnacle of life!!

But, you are Huo Yuhao.

How the hell are you supposed to operate with that!!

There's no room for maneuvering here!!

Isn't everything under the control of God King Tang??

As everyone knows, the entire Peerless Tang Sect is just a story of dog training meticulously orchestrated by God King Tang.

Not to mention anything else.

Look at the end: the original body didn't even keep the surname of the mother he swore to protect; he ended up returning to his ancestors, becoming 'Dai Yuhao,' and turning completely into a loyal divine hound under the God King's throne.

And this story tells us one thing.

You can only take what God King Tang gives you.

If he doesn't give it to you, don't even think about it.

If you want to resist, just look at the Valley of Love Inquiry.

So what if you're the Son of Luck?

It's far too easy for a God King to toy with a small character like you.

Although, as a Law Enforcer of the God Realm, God King Tang is nominally forbidden from interfering with the lower realms.

But the reality is, Even if he really does interfere, What can you say about it?

Go complain to the God Realm Law Enforcers?

Don't make me laugh.

Or go fight him?

Alright then, your opponent is Lord Tang San, who wields two super divine artifacts, holds the dual god positions of Sea God and Asura, and was already capable of defeating the combined might of the Angel and Rakshasa gods ten thousand years ago.

And you, in your hand, have an incredibly sharp Level 5 Soul Tool!!

The White Tiger Dagger!!

Go on! The chance to solo a God King is right before your eyes!!

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao actually amused himself.

The White Tiger Dagger?

What kind of sick sense of humor is this?!!

It wasn't as if he hadn't considered skipping Shrek entirely after receiving his starting gift package and simply running away.

For instance, he could head to the Sun Moon Empire or the Body Sect to cultivate in seclusion, keep his head down, develop quietly for a while, and eventually ascend to godhood on his own terms—punching that little punk, kicking that stinking Sea God, dominating the God Realm, marrying a wealthy beauty, and reaching the pinnacle of life!

But how could that ever be possible?

Do you really think the eyes and ears God King Tang has planted in the lower realm are just there to eat for free?

He feared that before Huo Yuhao could even make it halfway, two burly men from some hidden sect, who preferred to remain anonymous, would pat him on the shoulder and say with a "nuclear-friendly" smile:

"Young friend, we hit it off the moment we met. Since you're leaving so soon, why don't I send you..."

"A wife!"

And then they would toss out Tang Wutong from behind them.

No, wait, it should still be Wang Dong right now.

Whatever, it's all the same.

He couldn't fight it.

It was completely unwinnable.

The gap in strength was simply too vast.

Forget it, he might as well just lie flat.

After much deliberation, Huo Yuhao decisively abandoned any thoughts of struggling.

The world was vast, but he just wanted to be a salted fish.

At the very least, a godhood was guaranteed, so things couldn't turn out too badly.

He might as well honestly follow God King Tang's plan; perhaps that way, he'd get whipped a few times less.

So, the first thing to do now was to find the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and absorb its million-year soul ring.

Then, he could incidentally unlock the plot route for Electrolux, grind up some favorability, and strive to have him drop a bit more loot for him in the end.

Of course, if possible, Huo Yuhao still didn't want Electrolux to sacrifice himself.

After all, the man's charisma was truly beyond reproach.

Especially that line from back in the day, "Holding the sun, moon, and stars in my hand, there is no one in this world like me," which had him absolutely mesmerized.

His sense of style was leagues above that of God King Tang.

It was just a pity that he was ultimately schemed against, becoming the catalyst for the original body to fuse with the soul of the Snow Empress.

But regardless, the current Huo Yuhao didn't even have the qualifications to sit at the table, let alone save anyone under the machinations of God King Tang.

He could only say, take it one step at a time.

Endure for now, and plan slowly.

The immediate problem was how he was going to beat that ten-year Wind Baboon.

Although he knew God King Tang wouldn't let him die so carelessly right here, Huo Yuhao was still a bit worried.

It was better to suffer as little injury as possible.

A few days later, after passing the warning sign indicating he was about to enter the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao encountered his nemesis, just as expected.

A ten-year Wind Baboon.

It was a Wind Baboon about a meter tall, covered in brownish-yellow fur with brown eyes. Its arms were exceptionally long, its claws were sharp, and its canine teeth were exposed at the lips, with a fierce glint radiating from its eyes.

Because he had anticipated this, Huo Yuhao successfully dodged its first sneak attack.

What followed was a brilliant, intense battle comparable to the war between the two gods.

Regarding this exchange, one could only say:

The battle of wits and strategy between the two sides was no less than Zhongli's faked death.

Relying on the terrifying power of the level-five Soul Tool, the White Tiger Dagger, Huo Yuhao ultimately won the victory despite a very difficult process, and he didn't sustain any serious injuries.

The ten-year Wind Baboon lay on the ground with a white halo above its head, dying with its eyes wide open in resentment.

The God Slayer had ultimately failed to save the future of the entire soul beast clan in this lifetime.

Oh, infatuated God Slayer.

Please wait for another lifetime.

Huo Yuhao let out a cold snort and kicked the corpse of the Wind Baboon.

Feel honored, you bastard.

You almost killed me.

According to our "theoretically invincible" logic, you almost killed a god!!

Huo Yuhao sat down, pretending to absorb the soul ring of the ten-year Wind Baboon while observing his surroundings.

Where is my cheat?

Why hasn't it arrived yet?

What kind of service is this?!

I'm going to the God Realm to file a complaint against you!!

Just as he was feeling puzzled, a joyful voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"I've finally encountered a human with a spiritual attribute! It's a pity I can't shed tears, otherwise, I'd surely be weeping with joy!!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

Huo Yuhao felt a surge of joy; the first cheat had arrived.

Following the script, Huo Yuhao began to go through the motions with practiced ease.

"Wow, a million-year soul beast? That's amazing!"

"Huh? Really? Fusing with me won't cause any harm to you, brother, will it?"

"Is that so? Then hurry up. This is my first time, so please be gentle..."

Tian Meng: "..."

It felt like something was off.

Was this kid just brushing him off?

But it couldn't worry about that now; if it hesitated any longer, it would be dragged back to the dark room.

So, after some prodding from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, they finally began the fusion.

It was at this very moment that the bright sky suddenly turned gloomy, a thunderous roar erupted, and a massive pressure descended from above.

Huo Yuhao felt a surge of joy; the second cheat was about to arrive.

He opened his mind.

Come on! I can handle even two of you at once!

Bring it on!

However, he failed to notice that the gray energy belonging to Electrolux, which should have descended, encountered a much more powerful Black Cyclone halfway, and was swallowed up in the blink of an eye.

After a brief, human-like moment of hesitation, the Black Cyclone chose the same path as the gray energy and dove straight into Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.

Huo Yuhao suddenly felt his head swelling.

Wow, is this the divine sense of Elder Yi? It feels like I'm about to be stuffed full.

Next comes the poetry and the posturing, right?

Huo Yuhao wore a smile, feeling immensely proud.

Am I finally embarking on the path of cheating, ready to start living the dream?

I'm so excited!

The Black Cyclone did not disappoint his expectations and spoke up.

"Soul-stirring dreams, winds and clouds sway..."

The smile on Huo Yuhao's face froze.

Bu Dui!!!
