Then Merge the Planes!

"No!" Huo Yuhao shouted! His boundless divine sense, like an invisible giant wave, swept out instantly, precisely brushing over each lost soul, forcibly suppressing and extinguishing the ignited Soul Fire!

"Why won't you—" the leading ghost cried out in anguish, "The world is dead, what use are we, these last souls, to remain?"

"Why not give it all to you? If the opportunity arises in the future, please eliminate the Blood Evil Clan and help us take revenge!"

"Although your world is dead—" Huo Yuhao's gaze slowly swept across this gray world. "Then merge your plane into the Battle Qi Continent!"

"What?!"

The Guardian Mirror nearly fell again in shock! The soul light of countless departed spirits instantly froze! A fusion of planes?! This—is this even possible? It's utterly unheard of!

Huo Yuhao's eyes, however, were unusually firm. "Merging worlds—I've seen it before! I have a way!"

"Therefore, you must live on!" Huo Yuhao gazed at all the departed souls. "Your world, your heritage, your civilization, must be continued by yourselves!"

His resolute words, like thunder in the darkness, exploded in the silent hearts of the departed! After a brief moment of shock and disbelief, glimmers of hope, like scattered sparks, slowly burned in their hearts.

Swish!

A silent will reached a consensus at this moment! All the dead souls, whether human, orc, or any other form of being, performed the same action in unison—

The humanoid ghosts knelt on one knee, while the beast-like ghosts prostrated themselves with their heads bowed! Countless thoughts converged into a torrent, resounding deep within Huo Yuhao's soul. "We are willing to serve you as our master! Please lead us to save this world!"

Huo Yuhao picked up the Guardian Mirror, and a spatial vortex gradually formed in front of him.

"I will definitely return within two years! During this time, I'll trouble you to survive in lich form," Huo Yuhao instructed. "Remember to hide; the Blood Demon will certainly have ways to destroy your souls."

"Yes!" countless figures clad in black robes responded in unison.

Huo Yuhao used the bones and flesh of the giant beast to reconstruct their bodies. If it weren't for the fact that there wasn't a trace of life in their bodies, they would almost believe they had been reborn!

Huo Yuhao nodded, and with a light tap of his finger, the spatial vortex instantly opened, becoming a Spatial Passage.

The spatial fluctuations subsided, Huo Yuhao's figure quietly appeared on the back mountain of the Jia Nan Academy. The sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze blew, bringing...

The fresh scent of grass and trees was completely different from the desolate plane they had just passed through.

"How did you find the coordinates of the Battle Qi Continent?" The voice of the Guardian Mirror rang in Huo Yuhao's mind, utterly unbelievable.

"Perhaps it's because—" Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, then smiled, "I am a being from the Battle Qi Continent!"

"How strange!" The Guardian Mirror fell silent, seemingly pondering this incomprehensible matter.

Looking around, Huo Yuhao immediately spotted Lin Xiuya sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff. At this moment, Lin Xiuya was concentrating with his eyes closed, his fighting Dou Qi constantly flowing around him, faintly resonating with the sword intent left by Huo Yuhao on the cliff face, clearly having comprehended some profound mysteries.

"Six- Dou Ling? That's quite a rapid increase in strength!" After Lin Xiuya finished his comprehension, Huo Yuhao spoke, his voice tinged with approval, breaking the silence of the cliff. "I didn't expect you could actually gain some insight here!"

Lin Xiuya opened his eyes upon hearing the voice. Seeing that it was Huo Yuhao, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face. He scoffed, "Who can compare to you, you monster! I've been fighting tooth and nail for over two months just to break through from one star to six stars!"

While complaining, Lin Xiuya stood up, walked to Huo Yuhao's side, and prepared to pat Huo Yuhao's shoulder hard, just like Yan Hao did, to let Huo Yuhao know his dissatisfaction with leaving without saying goodbye.

"By the way, you've been acting all mysterious lately, where have you been? Your current strength—Dou, Dou Wang?!" As Lin Xiuya's hand was about to touch Huo Yuhao's shoulder, he sensed the undisguised, powerful aura of Peak Dou Wang emanating from Huo Yuhao.

He was struck dumb, as if by lightning! Shocked, his Dou Qi suddenly veered off course, causing his outstretched hand to lose its power and his body to immediately lose balance.

"Plop"

Lin Xiuya's cold, stern face made intimate contact with the ground, plunging solidly into the mud and getting a mouthful of grass.

Huo Yuhao looked at the figure on the ground, his butt sticking out and lost in deep self-doubt, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

He slowly squatted down next to Lin Xiuya's head. With a flick of his wrist, as if by magic, a rounded ice crystal cross emanating a faint chill appeared in his palm.

"Snap."

He casually stuck the ice cross into the soil in front of Lin Xiuya's head, the tip of the cross pressed against Lin Xiuya's crown, and Sisi cold air rose up from it.

"----" Lin Xiuya slowly raised his stiff neck, his nose almost touching the cross. He looked at Huo Yuhao's face, so close to his own, with a hint of mockery in it, and after a long while, he finally uttered a single word. "----Damn!"

After exchanging pleasantries with Lin Xiuya for a while and learning about the academy, Huo Yuhao got up and walked towards the center of the academy.

As he walked, he took out his Communication Spirit Device and dialed Xiao Yi Xian's number. "Xian'er, where are you now?"

The Spirit Artifact quickly connected, Xiao Yi Xian's clear voice rang out like a machine gun. "Brother Huo Yuhao! I went back to Wutan City to visit my father, and it just so happens that Teacher and Xiao Yan have successfully found the Heavenly Flames! We've met up in Jia Ma Imperial City now, and we're heading to the Misty Cloud Sect! You'll never guess! That guy Xiao Yan— "

"Shut up! Don't say it!" Xiao Yan's furious roar could be clearly heard even through the Spirit Artifact, indicating that he was near Xiao Yi Xian.

Unfortunately, he was a step too late!

"----I'm getting ready to propose to the Misty Cloud Sect Master!" Xiao Yi Xian spoke rapidly, her voice brimming with the excitement of watching a good show.

"Pfft—" Huo Yuhao almost burst out laughing, then said to the Spirit Artifact with a straight face, "Oh? This must be the legendary older woman-younger man relationship! By the way, I remember Nalan Yanran is one of them—"

"Yes! Yes!" Xiao Yi Xian's voice was even more excited, "That'll be interesting! I heard from our teacher that Xiao Yan hasn't confessed to Sister Yun Yun yet that he's the one engaged to her disciple!"

"Brother Huo Yuhao, this is such a wonderful scene, wouldn't you like to come and take a look?" Xiao Yi Xian invited.

Huo Yuhao suppressed a laugh, "No, I still have some things to take care of at the academy." After saying that, he decisively cut off the communication.

As expected, the Communication Spirit Device vibrated again after only a few breaths. Huo Yuhao answered, a teasing smile already on his face, "Xiao Yan, what's going on?"
