A Life Controlled by Others

In the chat group.

[Lu Qingshan: I assume you two have already read about your own experiences in the novels. What are your thoughts? @Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, @Xiao Yan!]

[Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: Hahaha, my plan to create a god really succeeded!]

[Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: @Lu Qingshan, thank you for telling me this good news. Once Yuhao becomes a god, I'll definitely have him look after you!]

Thunder Star, inside a cultivation chamber.

After seeing Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's words, Lu Qingshan could not help but freeze.

Have Huo Yuhao look after him?

What kind of joke was that?

Not to mention that Huo Yuhao had yet to become a god, even if he truly did, his strength would still be far inferior to Lu Qingshan's current strength.

Besides, Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was focusing on entirely the wrong thing!

It was true that it followed Huo Yuhao to godhood, but did it not care at all that Huo Yuhao's life had been manipulated?

However, on second thought, Lu Qingshan realized that this was quite normal for the current Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

After all, the first half of Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's life had consisted of eating and sleeping, then sleeping and eating. As for the latter half, it had either been chased by the Ice Empress or had its origin devoured by the many powerful soul beasts within the Star Dou Great Forest...

It had probably only seen that its plan to create a god had succeeded and had not realized at all that Huo Yuhao's entire life had been controlled by someone else!

[Lu Qingshan: @Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, don't you think there's something strange about Huo Yuhao's life?]

[Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: Is there? Didn't Yuhao become a god in the end? What could be wrong?]

[Lu Qingshan: This... @Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, how about opening the viewing permissions for The Unrivaled Tang Clan so everyone else can take a look too?]

[Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: You can do that? How do I open the permissions?]

For Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, it could not wait for others to see its great god-creating plan!

As for so-called privacy, it was simply not worth mentioning to a soul beast like it.

[Lu Qingshan: As long as you want to, just follow the chat group's prompts.]

[System Notification: Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has changed the viewing permissions for The Unrivaled Tang Clan. All group members may now view it!]

[Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: Everyone, take a look. My plan to create a god is simply perfect!]

A short while later, everyone in the group had finished reading The Unrivaled Tang Clan.

[Cao Cao: This young man named Huo Yuhao truly had an exceedingly difficult life!]

[Yue Buqun: Indeed! From the very beginning, that Wang Dong'er he encountered must have been arranged by that God King. Even Wang Qiu'er, and later Tang Wutong, as well as how they used his mother in the end to make him acknowledge his ancestry and return to his clan... Such experiences truly cannot help but make one sigh!]

[Pang Bo: That Tang God King went too far! Not only did he control Huo Yuhao's life, he did not even spare his own daughter! In order to control Huo Yuhao, he actually attached a fragment of his daughter's consciousness to that Three-Eyed Golden Lion. He's absolutely despicable!]

The world of A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, within Yellow Maple Valley.

As Han Li watched everyone in the chat group condemn that Tang God King, he could not help but secretly feel fortunate.

Originally, he had thought it was already excessive for the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace to inject Gan Rushuang's memories into Nangong Wan, but what that Tang God King had done was entirely beyond his imagination.

In the original world of A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace possessed strength that could completely crush him and could easily erase Nangong Wan's memories. Yet he had not chosen to do so, merely sending the memories of his wife, Gan Rushuang, into Nangong Wan's body.

Even after learning of this matter, Han Li had wanted Nangong Wan to make her own choice rather than arbitrarily deprive her of her memories according to his own wishes.

But what about that Tang God King?

One Wang Dong'er was not enough. There had to be a Wang Qiu'er as well, and then Tang Wutong appeared in the end...

Especially what happened in Heavenly Love Inquiry Valley—it was simply too horrifying to hear about!

[Cao Cao: Exactly! With the strength of a God King, he still resorted to such vile methods. He's truly too despicable!]

[Pang Bo: If his strength were not far beyond mine, I would definitely teach him a proper lesson!]

In Pang Bo's eyes, although that Tang God King was somewhat unscrupulous in his actions, anyone capable of becoming a God King of one realm had to be extremely powerful!

What he did not know was that the Tang God King was not nearly as powerful as he imagined.

Before long, he would likely be able to suppress that man with ease!

[Pang Bo: @Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, how is Huo Yuhao doing now? Have you already become his soul ring?]

[Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: Yes, I had just become Yuhao's soul ring when I was pulled into this chat group!]

Seeing everyone in the chat grow increasingly indignant, Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm also began to come to its senses.

That was right!

The main reason Yuhao could eventually become a god was because of its help, with Electrolux deserving at most a tiny bit of credit. What did that Tang God King have to do with it?

[Pang Bo: Don't let Huo Yuhao join the Tang Sect, and don't let him go to Shrek Academy either. Send him directly to the Sun Moon Empire!]

[Cao Cao: That really is a good idea! Huo Yuhao's abilities are indeed well suited for becoming a soul engineer. If he goes to the Sun Moon Empire, he should receive special attention. He definitely won't be treated like he was at Shrek Academy!]

[Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: This...]

[Pang Bo: @Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, what are you hesitating for? Do you really want to follow Huo Yuhao and have even your lives controlled by that God King?]

[Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: Of course not! I'm just worried about that Tang God King. What if he directly intervenes because Yuhao changes?]

After seeing Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's words, everyone in the chat group fell silent.

That was right!

He was a God King!

A moment later...

[Pang Bo: @Lu Qingshan, Group Leader, do you have any way to help that boy Huo Yuhao? His experiences make me feel terrible just reading about them! If there's anything you need me for, just say the word!]

[Lu Qingshan: This...]

[Lu Qingshan: Actually, you're all overestimating that Tang God King. He isn't all that strong and may not notice anything. Besides, it's very difficult for the God Realm to interfere in the affairs of the lower realm. Even a God King would find it hard to do so!]

[Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: Is that true?]

[Lu Qingshan: Don't worry, there definitely won't be a problem!]

While Lu Qingshan and the others chatted in the chat group...

The outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Mm..."

The boy leaning against a large tree let out a muffled groan before slowly waking up.

"Little Yuhao, you're finally awake. I was worried sick." A somewhat anxious voice rang beside Huo Yuhao's ear.

He opened his eyes and quickly saw Tang Ya and Bei Bei, whom he had met earlier.

"Sister Xiaoya, why are you two here?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion.

Because Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had joined the chat group immediately after becoming his soul ring, it had not explained anything to him at all. He even thought that everything he had seen earlier had been an illusion.

"You really have some nerve, coming to the Star Dou Great Forest alone."

Tang Ya smiled. "If we'd arrived any later, I'm afraid you would've already become a soul beast's meal!"

Huo Yuhao scratched his head awkwardly. Only after encountering that Wind Baboon had he truly realized how weak he was.

Feeling the pain in his body, he could not help but circulate his soul power.

Then...

Buzz!

A circle of lustrous white soul ring rose from beneath his feet, slowly moving upward. After reaching his head, it began to descend again.

Seeing that he had successfully fused his first soul ring, Huo Yuhao could not help but shout, "I really succeeded!"

Tang Ya and Bei Bei, standing nearby, instinctively assumed that Huo Yuhao had absorbed the soul ring from the Wind Baboon beside him.

However, after sensing the spiritual fluctuations coming from Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei could not help but ask, "Yuhao, is your martial soul a spiritual attribute?"

By then, Huo Yuhao had calmed down from his excitement. Somewhat embarrassed, he said, "Yes! My martial soul is Spirit Eyes, a mutated martial soul with a spiritual attribute!"

At the same time, Huo Yuhao began circulating his soul power, wanting to try out the soul skill he had just obtained.

But suddenly, he froze completely...

Because he could actually sense the fluctuations of four soul skills!

One soul ring could only provide a soul master with one soul skill. Only a hundred-thousand-year soul ring could provide two soul skills!

Although Huo Yuhao was weak, he had spent some time in the Duke's Estate and naturally knew this basic fact.

But now...

Could it be that what I saw before wasn't an illusion? Huo Yuhao could not help but wonder inwardly.

At this moment, after Tang Ya and Bei Bei learned that Huo Yuhao possessed a body martial soul, their eyes lit up, and they began asking about his basic circumstances.

After learning about Huo Yuhao's situation, Tang Ya could not help but say, "Little Yuhao, since you don't have any plans for the future, why not join our Tang Sect?"

"Our Tang Sect was once the number one sect on the continent! If you're willing to join, you definitely won't lose out! Not only is there an ultimate art within the sect that suits you extremely well, but you can also enter the continent's number one Shrek Academy through an exemption admission slot!"

"However, whether you can remain at Shrek Academy will depend on your own efforts afterward! Those are all the conditions I can offer. But if you choose to join the Tang Sect and wish to leave in the future, you'll have to return all of the Tang Sect's ultimate arts."

The Tang Sect? Shrek Academy?

Listening to Tang Ya's introduction, Huo Yuhao's eyes grew brighter and brighter. "Sister Xiaoya, I'm will—"

"Cough, cough..."
