Huo Yuhao's Past, the Illegitimate Son of Duke White Tiger?

The moment the Heavenly Voice fell,

the entire continent erupted once more.

"Why is it another student from Shrek Academy on the rankings?!"

"Huo Yuhao? Who is that? Why have I never heard of him?"

"Fifth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking! How is he ranked even higher than the Daughter of the Sea God?!"

"Just who is this Huo Yuhao?"

"..."

Shrek Academy,

inside the Sea God Lake lounge.

Huo Yuhao stared at himself on the Sky Screen, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"I... I made the rankings too?"

His voice trembled slightly, carrying a barely restrained excitement.

Ma Xiaotao, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others all widened their eyes as they stared at Huo Yuhao in disbelief.

"Xiao Yuhao, you..."

Ma Xiaotao opened her mouth, a trace of shock flashing through her eyes as well.

Fifth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking!

Huo Yuhao's talent was actually above Tang Wutong's!

Could he also have a chance of becoming a god?

Under the gaze of countless living beings,

golden light flowed across the golden scroll, making Huo Yuhao's figure exceptionally clear.

The youth looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

His frame was somewhat slender, and his expression calm.

His bright eyes were as clear as ice, while his restrained bearing concealed an indescribable sharpness.

All Living Beings were in an uproar.

Everyone wanted to know

just what kind of heaven-defying talent this youth, ranked above Tang Wutong, possessed!

The mighty Heavenly Voice rang out, shaking the world:

[Standing before you now is the Child of Destiny, a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years on the Douluo Continent; a core disciple of Shrek Academy, a core disciple of the Tang Sect, wielder of the Ultimate Ice martial soul, the subject of a million-year Soul Beast's god-creation plan, and the chosen one of the Necromancer Saint—Huo Yuhao!]

[He possesses the Body Martial Soul—Spirit Eye! Beast martial soul: Ice Jade Empress Scorpion!]

The moment the Heavenly Voice fell,

countless living beings widened their eyes, their gazes toward the Sky Screen filled with astonishment!

"What?! Did I hear that right? A prodigy seen only once in ten thousand years?"

"He's the Child of Destiny the Sea God spoke of?"

"The subject of a million-year Soul Beast's god-creation plan? How could there possibly still be a million-year Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent? Even Di Tian doesn't have a million years of cultivation!"

"And what kind of god is this Necromancer Saint? Why have we never heard of them?"

"A god from another world? Just from that title, they don't sound like a good god at all!!"

The discussions of All Living Beings swept across the entire continent like a tsunami.

Voices of shock, doubt, and fear tangled together.

Shrek Academy,

inside the Sea God Lake lounge.

Everyone looked at Huo Yuhao with sheer horror in their eyes.

They were no strangers to the fact that Huo Yuhao possessed an Ultimate Ice martial soul.

But the million-year Soul Beast's god-creation plan, along with the title of Necromancer Saint, was simply too unimaginable.

After the Sea God Tang San slew a million-year Soul Beast ten thousand years ago,

no Soul Beast of that level had ever appeared again on the Douluo Continent.

If a million-year Soul Beast could truly create a god, why would the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King have needed to seek death by trying to seize the Sea God's inheritance back then?

"Xiao Yuhao, what... what exactly is going on?"

Ma Xiaotao was the first to speak.

Her phoenix eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

"You really encountered a million-year Soul Beast? And you agreed to some god-creation plan??"

The others said nothing, but the curiosity in their eyes was no weaker than Ma Xiaotao's.

Especially Ling Luochen.

She had guessed that Huo Yuhao might be hiding secrets, but she had never expected there to be so many.

Huo Yuhao looked at the companions who cared about him, warmth and guilt rising in his heart.

He took a deep breath and said to them,

"Sister Xiaotao, everyone..."

"This is complicated. Let's keep watching the Sky Screen."

"After all, everything shown on the Sky Screen is more direct."

Having said that,

Huo Yuhao's gaze settled on Dai Yueheng.

He knew that

if the Sky Screen truly revealed everything, then the fact that he came from the White Tiger Duke Mansion would become known to all.

Hearing this,

everyone exchanged glances before turning back to the Sky Screen.

Rather than press him for answers, they might as well wait for the Sky Screen to give them one directly.

Within the Sea of Spirit,

both Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Empress were filled with worry.

"Tian Meng, if this Sky Screen exposes our plan, will it affect Yuhao?"

The Ice Empress frowned tightly, a hint of gravity in her voice.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm let out a long sigh, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his honest face.

"Perhaps..."

He shook his head, a complicated look flashing through his eyes.

"The road to godhood was never easy. Moreover, not a single god has appeared on the current Douluo Continent for ten thousand years."

"All Living Beings harbor evil thoughts. How could they just stand by and watch someone else become a god?"

"Besides..."

He paused, his voice turning more bitter.

"Yuhao's identity is already special. Now that the Sky Screen has exposed him, even if those humans don't move to stop him, Di Tian and the others will never allow a human to become a god."

"..."

He did not continue,

but the Ice Empress already understood what he meant. Huo Yuhao's future was unlikely to be very peaceful.

Under the gaze of countless living beings, the scene on the Sky Screen continued to change.

Within the scene,

a frail boy curled up in a cold woodshed, his eyes full of stubbornness and unwillingness.

At dawn, he quietly slipped out of the woodshed and walked through a manor.

Though the image was dim, quite a few people still recognized that manor as the White Tiger Duke Mansion of the Star Luo Empire.

"This is my home?"

Dai Yueheng recognized it at a glance as well, his hands unconsciously clenching tight.

At the same time,

that Heavenly Voice, which shook the ages, rang out once more:

[Huo Yuhao was born in the White Tiger Duke Mansion of the Star Luo Empire. He was the son of Duke White Tiger Dai Hao and a commoner woman. He followed his mother from a young age. Although Duke White Tiger brought him back to the mansion, he was never accepted by the Duchess and suffered constant bullying!]

[His mother was persecuted to death by the Duchess. Huo Yuhao swore to avenge her, fled the Duke Mansion, and vowed to repay this hatred in full!]

The Huo Yuhao in the scene immediately broke into a run after escaping the Duke Mansion.

He arrived at the mountain behind the Duke Mansion,

then stopped before a crude grave.

"Mother, from today onward, I will take your surname. My surname is Huo, and my name is Huo Yuhao!"

"I will cut off the inheritance of Duke White Tiger's line!"

"I will make those people pay the price!"

The youth's eyes were filled with resolve. Even through the Sky Screen, one could feel the killing intent radiating from him.

Shrek Academy,

inside the Sea God Lake lounge.

Dai Yueheng's expression turned exceedingly ugly.

He had never imagined that Huo Yuhao was the son of his father and Aunt Yun!

No wonder his younger brother had been so hostile toward Huo Yuhao.

He had even sent out deathsworn retainers trained by the family.

And no wonder Huo Yuhao's gaze toward him had always carried a measure of wariness and hostility.

So he had long since come to hate the White Tiger Duke Mansion to the bone and even wanted to sever the inheritance of their line!

Star Luo Empire,

Mingdou Mountain Range,

Western Army Camp.

Duke White Tiger Dai Hao shot to his feet.

He stared at the frail figure on the Sky Screen, his pupils trembling violently.

"That is... that is Yun'er's and my son?!"
