Ghostly Inheritance, God King Save Me!!

"Are you willing to take me as your master?"

As the words of Ghost Demon Venerable fell, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but gasp, shocked to the core.

Only one thought echoed in his mind.

What the hell is this guy playing at??

Before he could overthink it, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm let out a furious roar, possessing the valor of Lu Bu Fengxian, and shouted directly at Ghost Demon Venerable.

"Damn it! You bastard, you really came here to snatch my person!!"

"Get the hell out of here!!"

He then exhausted every ounce of his strength to condense an even larger and purer mental attack, launching it toward Ghost Demon Venerable.

But the result was entirely predictable.

It still didn't stir up a single ripple.

Only then did Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finally realize something was wrong.

The opponent's soul integrity was clearly lower than his own, yet his two attacks hadn't been able to inflict any damage at all.

There was only one scenario that could explain the current situation.

That was that the opponent's level of mental power far exceeded his own.

And he was the one and only million-year soul beast on the Douluo Continent.

Although he might be lacking a little bit in terms of combat power—just a tiny bit—he was still very confident in his mental power.

To be able to surpass him in mental aspects, there was only one possibility.

This was a sliver of divine consciousness!!

The opponent was an unknown god!!

At the thought of this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt his scalp go numb.

He had actually provoked a god just now?!

And twice in a row?!!

Without any hesitation, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately turned and fled, scurrying to Huo Yuhao's side and huddling with him in the corner of the Sea of Consciousness, looking like a pair of brothers in distress.

Watching Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's performance, Ghost Demon Venerable let out a scoff and spoke.

"Guessed it?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm trembled, not daring to speak.

Huo Yuhao made a prompt decision. With a look of perfectly measured curiosity and caution, he cupped his hands in a salute toward the black vortex where Ghost Demon Venerable resided and asked very respectfully.

"To be favored by a senior is an honor for this junior."

"But I do not yet know your esteemed name, Senior. Might you be willing to tell me?"

"Kid! Don't go looking for death!!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao walk over so foolishly, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm pulled him back instantly, clearly quite anxious.

It was evident that, at the very least, he held genuine feelings for Huo Yuhao.

After all, in his current state, if Huo Yuhao died, he wouldn't survive either.

After pulling Huo Yuhao to his side, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm kept his guard up against Ghost Demon Venerable while secretly transmitting his voice to Huo Yuhao using his mental power.

"Kid, that is a sliver of divine consciousness! Even in my prime, I wouldn't be worth a single hair on his head! It would be as easy as flipping his hand to kill you!!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's seemingly heartwarming gesture made Huo Yuhao roll his eyes in his heart.

No kidding, I even know that's Ghost Demon Venerable!

You know he's stronger than you, yet you're whispering your schemes so loudly—you bug, have you not woken up yet!!

But even though he understood, Huo Yuhao still had to pretend he knew nothing, looking at Ghost Demon Venerable with great surprise.

If you're going to act, you have to do it completely. At the very least, he couldn't show any sign of knowing the truth right now, or Ghost Demon Venerable would definitely kill him.

Hearing Tian Meng's words, Ghost Demon Venerable seemed to enter a certain state. His tone was completely different from when he was reciting poetry earlier, sounding somewhat sentimental.

"It doesn't count as divine consciousness. After all, this old man failed to truly create a God Realm back then, which is why I ended up dead and dissipated."

"Now, it is merely a sliver of a remnant soul; I don't have any real power."

"As for who I am, it is not yet time to reveal that."

"..."

Hearing Ghost Demon's words, Huo Yuhao was speechless and even felt a little like laughing.

So, a classic question arises:

In the words of someone from the Gu World, which sentence can actually be trusted??

What a joke!!

Not a single word of this can be trusted, okay?!!

Good grief, this shameless guy actually swapped Elder Yi's backstory with his own.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't read the original plot, he almost would have believed it.

But clearly, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, standing to the side, did not possess such cheat-like knowledge.

He was completely bluffed.

After all, while other things could be faked, that wisp of divine consciousness could not.

Even though he was currently in the state of a spiritual body, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt cold sweat breaking out all over him.

Founding a new Douluo God Realm??

This was even more terrifying than a god coming directly from the Douluo God Realm!!

But fortunately... the other party seemed relatively friendly?

After pondering for a long while, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finally used his not-so-bright little brain to reach this conclusion.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained indifferent after being provoked twice.

So, he hurriedly scooted forward and urged Huo Yuhao via telepathy.

"Kid, your luck is simply off the charts!"

"Besides Brother, there's actually such an existence wanting to take you as a disciple!!"

"Brother is starting to suspect you're some kind of Child of Destiny!!"

"Hurry and agree! Don't worry about who he is, just agree!! If you miss an opportunity like this, there won't be a second time!!"

Unlike the excited Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao was on the verge of tears.

Where is the luck? This is a total disaster, okay??

"Don't worry about who he is," he says.

If you knew who he was, you wouldn't be saying that.

Big Brother, you are pushing me into a pit of fire!!

However, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's performance was seen by Ghost Demon Venerable, and his supposedly hidden telepathy was likely heard in its entirety by Ghost Demon Venerable. Huo Yuhao even clearly sensed Ghost Demon Venerable's gaze shift onto him.

If he didn't agree now, his identity would likely be suspected.

Regardless of anything else, his greatest secret was his identity as a transmigrator.

In other words, a Demon from Beyond.

Unlike in Douluo Continent, a Demon from Beyond was not something unknown in the Gu World. If one didn't know how to hide it, one wouldn't even need to deduce it; it could be inferred from the slightest clues.

Especially since the other party was a Venerable.

One could not underestimate the other party's sensitivity in this regard.

So, following Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's telepathy, Huo Yuhao could only bite the bullet, look resolutely at Ghost Demon Venerable, and say with feigned pleasant surprise.

"Junior Huo Yuhao is willing to take Senior as my master!"

"Good."

Within the black vortex, Ghost Demon Venerable looked at the Child of Destiny before him and gave his consent, his eyes dark and inscrutable.

Then, under the gaze of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao, a black book manifested within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.

"Since you have taken me as your master, there must be a gift for the apprenticeship."

"This manual is called the Ghost Killing Art. In this world, it should be considered a superior method. It will be of help to your cultivation. There might be some minor side effects, but they are of no consequence. Take it and cultivate."

"..."

Huo Yuhao fell silent.

He looked at this manual that was constantly emitting black mist, ten thousand alpacas stampeding through his heart.

Huo Yuhao only had one thing he wanted to say right now.

"Are you sure this technique is ripe??"

Damn it!!

Are you sure it's only a "minor" side effect??

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this was a rare, peerless secret technique, but Huo Yuhao knew clearly that this thing was definitely a trap!!

If he were to truly throw himself into it wholeheartedly, he probably wouldn't even know how he died!!

But things had reached this point, and Huo Yuhao had no other choice. To avoid suspicion, he could only bite the bullet and step forward to accept this so-called secret manual under the envious gaze of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Thank you, Master."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't show any signs of abnormality, Ghost Demon Venerable within the black vortex nodded, looking quite satisfied, and continued.

"I am only a wisp of divine consciousness here and cannot maintain it for long. You must cultivate diligently; if there is anything you do not understand, come and summon me again."

"Disciple obeys."

Although Huo Yuhao did not believe a single word coming from the Ghost Demon Venerable, he could only bow respectfully for now.

Beside him, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also lowered its head comically, as if bowing at the waist.

As the black vortex noticeably quieted down, both the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had just narrowly escaped death.

With the suppression of the Ghost Demon Venerable gone, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm instantly became arrogant again in front of Huo Yuhao. It used its mental power to mimic a pair of hands, patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, and said earnestly.

"My eye for talent is truly not bad; it seems you kid really can make something of yourself on this continent."

"I'm also a bit tired. I could have chatted for a while longer, but unfortunately, those two blasts from earlier have completely drained me."

Having said that, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly realized what it had said, abruptly covered its mouth, and glanced stealthily in the direction of the Ghost Demon Venerable.

After confirming that the other party had not paid attention to its words, it breathed a sigh of relief again and continued to drape its arm around Huo Yuhao's shoulder.

"In any case, I am now your first soul ring, so the two of us will share life and death from here on out."

"I'm going to sleep now. When I wake up, we'll have a good chat about my grand plan!"

"As for the soul ring skills and such, you'll have to study them yourself, haha."

"Don't call me unless it's important."

With that, its body curled up, and it actually fell directly into a dormant state.

Huo Yuhao looked at his quieted Sea of Consciousness, feeling that the pressure on him was immense.

For a moment, he didn't even know if he was dreaming.

How did his perfectly fine, laid-back life turn into a battle for survival?

But in the current situation, he could not afford to harbor any delusions.

Huo Yuhao left the Sea of Consciousness, his consciousness returning to his physical body, and took a deep breath.

Given the current circumstances, there were only four words that came to mind.

God King, save me!!!!
