Wang Dong'er's hands trembled uncontrollably, and her large pink-blue eyes were filled with terror. She opened the diary and found that every line was about devouring people.
Tragically, she was merely an appetizer. The true main course was Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny!
And the one who regarded them as food was none other than her biological father, whom she had never met!
Wang Dong'er understood. She finally understood why she had no memories of her childhood, why whenever she asked Niu Tian and Titan about her parents, the two of them would always stammer and evade the question before changing the subject.
It was not that they did not know where her parents were. They simply could not say it. Once they did, they might ruin her biological father's so-called Millennium Plan!
How could someone like her, a "fake person" created by splitting off a soul, possibly be more important to Niu Tian and Titan than the Millennium Plan of her father, a god?
"So, I'm just a substitute? A false person created out of nothing? First Father and Second Father's love for me was all fake too, wasn't it?"
Wang Dong'er stared at the diary before her as sorrowful tears spilled uncontrollably from her eyes.
Star Dou Great Forest.
Scarlet King, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, watched the Auspicious Beast stand still for a long time and could not help appearing to ask her.
"What's wrong, Auspicious Beast? Didn't you say you were going to find food?"
The Auspicious Beast, Three-Eyed Golden Lion, did not answer Scarlet King's question. She simply focused intently on the contents of the Diary Copy that had suddenly appeared in her mind.
When she first saw the diary claim that Huo Yuhao was the Child of Destiny of Douluo Continent, the Auspicious Beast had dismissed it with scorn.
She was merely an Auspicious Beast who boosted the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest, yet the Ferocious Beasts of the forest valued her so highly that even when she went out to find food, Scarlet King accompanied her.
Though she had only lived for over fifteen thousand years, her cultivation was barely comparable to that of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, enough for her to contend with an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
If Huo Yuhao truly was the Child of Destiny, how could he have only become a Soul Master at the age of twelve?
Yet the more she read, the more unsettled and suspicious she became.
She knew of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, that Million-Year Soul Beast. Di Tian had captured him and imprisoned him within the Lake of Life, allowing the Ferocious Beasts to absorb his origin energy.
This was a secret only Ferocious Beasts were qualified to know. Humans could never possibly know it!
As she gradually began to believe the things written in the diary, she suddenly saw a passage concerning herself.
It said that if events followed their predetermined course, she would sacrifice herself to Huo Yuhao in the future. Even her soul had apparently been tampered with by some god at some unknown time. The soft golden fur on Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body instantly stood on end, her pupils contracted, and terror filled her heart.
Three-Eyed Golden Lion could no longer care about anything else. She bolted toward the Lake of Life, desperate for Di Tian to check whether something had truly gone wrong with her soul!
Far North. When Ice Empress saw the diary say that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had become Huo Yuhao's first Soul Ring, she flew into a rage. A surging aura erupted from her body and swept through her territory in the blink of an eye.
Snowflakes whirled through the sky, while ice crystals danced in the air, glittering with breathtaking light beneath the sun.
"Tian Meng! You bastard! You'd rather become a human's first Soul Ring than become my food!"
Ice Empress was furious. She was now nearing four hundred thousand years of cultivation, and in less than a century, she would have to undergo the Four-Hundred-Thousand-Year Tribulation. Based on her understanding of herself, her chances of surviving it were infinitesimal.
That was precisely why, after learning that Tian Meng had consumed countless pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow and become a Million-Year Soul Beast, Ice Empress had desperately wanted to eat him and use that method to survive the coming tribulation.
Yet Tian Meng had repeatedly escaped her pursuit, even fleeing the Far North. Now, he had actually become the first Soul Ring of a young human, and Ice Empress's heart was instantly filled with despair.
The later contents of the diary sent Ice Empress's emotions soaring and plunging. Before she could become angry over Huo Yuhao saying that she would become his Second Martial Soul and Soul Ring, she saw that Huo Yuhao would become the God of Emotion in the future.
Just as she saw that she might gain eternal life alongside him because of it, she then saw that Huo Yuhao had decided not to follow that path and would give up Ascension to godhood. Ice Empress could not help but go nearly mad.
The final line of the diary, which made one's blood boil at a glance, made Ice Empress realize that Huo Yuhao might not be abandoning Ascension to godhood at all. Rather, he would no longer become that obedient lapdog of a God of Emotion!
This human child's ambition was beyond anything she could imagine!
He wanted to overthrow the lofty God Realm!
Once she realized that, Ice Empress's heart pounded wildly, and she developed immense curiosity toward the human named Huo Yuhao.
"He gave up becoming a god according to the original path, and Tian Meng that bastard's soul was absorbed by the diary too. I probably won't become his Martial Soul anymore either. So what should I do now?"
Ice Empress irritably flicked her tail hook, which gleamed with sharp light. Her heart was filled with frustration. She felt that it would have been better if she had never received this Diary Copy. At least then, she would not have had to worry about losing the chance to attain eternal life alongside Huo Yuhao after he became a god.
But now, she had lost her chance at eternal life, and with the great tribulation less than a century away, Ice Empress felt increasingly stifled.
Just then, a new sentence appeared in the diary. Ice Empress immediately cast aside her troubles and looked at it.
Here they come, here they come! Thunderbolt Bei Bei has arrived with his Blue Silver Saintess!
Tang God King's path of brainwashing me probably began right now! But unfortunately, I'm not that Huo Cheater who meekly accepted everything. Trying to bind me to the Tang Sect is pure wishful thinking!
Tang Ya glanced regretfully at the Wind Baboon's corpse beside her and asked Huo Yuhao.
"Little Yuhao, have you already absorbed this Wind Baboon's Soul Ring?"
Huo Yuhao grinned at Tang Ya and nodded.
"Yes. I'm a Soul Master now too."
Upon hearing that, even Bei Bei could not help feeling somewhat regretful. Becoming a Soul Master at twelve was already quite late, yet Huo Yuhao's first Soul Ring was only from a ten-year Wind Baboon. It seemed he truly had no chance of becoming a powerhouse.
While Bei Bei was secretly lamenting this, Tang Ya suddenly gave him a meaningful look. Bei Bei nodded at her and asked, "Little Brother Huo, who else is in your family?"
Though Bei Bei believed that Huo Yuhao's talent doomed him to never become a powerhouse, the Tang Sect's current state meant that if they wanted to recruit members, only people like Huo Yuhao might be willing to join.
After all, not everyone was a genius like Bei Bei, who had joined the Tang Sect solely for Tang Ya. And even if there were someone like that, he could not exactly give Tang Ya away, could he?
Bei Bei did not have any peculiar fetishes!
After hearing Bei Bei's question, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate in the slightest and shook his head directly.
"No one. It's just me."
Tang Ya was overjoyed when she heard that and blurted out, "That's wonderful!"
