Mother Awakens, the Truth

Compared to the wildly excited Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao remained as calm as ever.

"Alright, what good does getting angry do now? It's not like you can go up to the God Realm and hang up that Tang San Dog for a beating, can you?"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand.

But Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's anger still would not subside, so he used his spiritual power to create a Tang San doll. However, the doll had a human head and a dog's body.

It was Tang San Dog in the flesh.

"Tang San Dog! Take my Heavenly Dream Eighteen Palms!"

"Heavenly Dream Shadowless Kick!"

"Tian Meng's Spit!"

"..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm treated the doll as Tang San Dog and used everything he had ever learned to beat the hell out of it!

Huo Yuhao spread his hands beside him, utterly speechless.

Before he could make a sarcastic remark, surprise suddenly appeared on his face, only to be swallowed by joy.

"Mom?"

Huo Yuhao quickly removed his Eyepatch, revealing Six Eyes as azure and brilliant as a river of stars.

Looking into the depths of the Spiritual World, he saw a gentle, beautiful woman push open the courtyard gate and slowly walk toward him.

Huo Yuhao strode toward her.

After beating the Tang San doll until not even scraps remained, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm came back to his senses and saw Huo Yuhao sprinting away.

He looked utterly delighted.

It was the first time Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had seen such obvious emotional turmoil on this guy's face.

"Hey! Where are you going? Wait for your Brother Sky Dream!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm followed curiously.

Huo Yuhao ran all the way there and soon arrived before Huo Yun'er.

Seeing her son after such a long time, Huo Yun'er's expression shifted slightly, revealing a trace of longing. "Yuhao!"

Huo Yuhao rushed forward and held Huo Yun'er tightly.

The Huo Yuhao who looked down upon the world outside, invincible beneath the heavens.

At this moment, he was like a child, nestling against Huo Yun'er in her embrace.

Huo Yun'er stroked Huo Yuhao's head, her face full of kindness.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm followed over and stood at a distance, puzzled.

"There are other people in this Spiritual World?"

"Looks like Yuhao's mom? Didn't his mother, in that memory, become... Tang San Dog's trump card?"

Though Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was confused, he did not step forward to interrupt the beautiful scene of mother and son reuniting.

He silently left to find Elder Yi and tell him of Tang San Dog's crimes.

Elder Yi: Get lost!

After leaning against each other for a while, Huo Yuhao looked up at his mother's kind and gentle face and smiled.

"Mom, I missed you so much!"

Huo Yun'er smiled gently. "Yuhao, I missed you too."

"..."

After chatting about everyday matters for a while, Huo Yuhao asked:

"Mom, how did you wake up?"

"I thought... you would never wake up for the rest of your life."

After Huo Yun'er died and her soul was taken into Huo Yuhao's Six Eyes.

She had lost consciousness, like a soul without awareness.

Huo Yuhao had thought that he would need to find heavenly treasures related to souls, or wait until he became a god, before his mother could regain consciousness.

Yet now, his mother had suddenly recovered.

It was inevitable that Huo Yuhao felt confused.

Huo Yun'er said gently, "Originally, I shouldn't have told you the truth, but this is the last time I will see you."

"So, I chose to tell you everything."

The truth?

The last time they would meet?

Huo Yuhao's heart was filled with confusion and doubt.

But Huo Yuhao did not ask. He chose to listen.

Seeing this, Huo Yun'er smiled faintly. "You are still the same as before, still so obedient."

"Of course."

Huo Yuhao smiled.

Though he had lived three lives, the virtues of loyalty and filial piety from the Great Foodie Empire were engraved upon his soul.

With an invincible heart, he would never be loyal to anyone. Thus, of loyalty and filial piety.

Loyalty was gone, leaving only filial piety.

The grace of giving birth to him, the grace of raising him.

No matter how strong or wealthy Huo Yuhao became, this meant that before his mother, he was still a child.

Willing to offer every bit of his tenderness to her.

Huo Yun'er gently stroked Huo Yuhao's head. "Having a child like you is my honor."

"Having a mom like you is also my honor."

Huo Yuhao said with a happy smile.

"Alright, I do not have much time left."

Huo Yun'er said seriously, "You may be confused by everything I tell you, but you must believe me."

"Perhaps you will blame me, perhaps you will hate me, but I hope you will listen until the end."

Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly. "Alright."

Huo Yun'er began speaking as though telling a story.

"Countless ages ago, chaos first opened, and innumerable stars and planes were born."

"No one knew how long passed before one plane, insignificant as a grain of sand, began to develop consciousness."

"It developed the plane's ecosystem and expanded its own body."

"But one day, it fell ill. An unknown evil from beyond chaos invaded it."

"To resist and purge this unknown force, it dispersed most of its own power and transformed it into Divine Seats, allowing the living beings within its body to obtain its power."

"In the end, the unknown evil was driven from its body, and everything returned to peace."

"But tens of thousands of years later, those living beings who had gained its power—the gods—began to grow dissatisfied with the status quo."

"Those gods wanted more authority and more power."

"Relying on its power, those gods destroyed and plundered everything within its body."

"It awakened once more and gathered fate upon a Soul Beast, making it the messenger of its destiny."

"As expected, that Soul Beast paid the price of its life to isolate one realm. That realm came to be called the God Realm."

"Taking this opportunity, it used supreme power to condense laws and shackle the God Realm, preventing the gods from interfering with the lower realms."

"This caused all the gods to hate the Soul Beast Clan deeply. Not only did they kill and drive out every Soul Beast that possessed a Divine Seat, they also gathered the power of the Gods and condensed the power of Heavenly Tribulation."

"They made it impossible for Soul Beasts to become gods for all eternity. Even becoming a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, or every hundred-thousand-year increase in cultivation, would bring down Heavenly Tribulation, each tribulation more terrifying than the last."

"They increased the difficulty of the Soul Beast path of cultivation by more than ten thousandfold."

"For tens of thousands of years, the God Realm and Mortal Realm remained peaceful, until several gods in the God Realm acquired the unknown evil power from beyond chaos through a special ritual."

"These gods broke through the shackles and spread evil into the Mortal Realm, intending to use it to break the God Realm's restraints, allowing the gods to once again destroy and plunder in order to obtain more of its power."

"It sensed the presence of the unknown evil and awakened once more. With the path for Soul Beasts to become gods already cut off, it could only place its fate upon humanity."

"It guided an otherworldly soul over and made it the vessel of fate."

"Everything was once again as before. The otherworldly soul drove out the unknown evil, and everything should have returned to peace."

"But that otherworldly soul was monstrously ambitious, its greed surpassing that of every living being within it. After the otherworldly soul became a God King of the God Realm."

"It began using the remaining, undestroyed unknown evil power to break through the shackles and invade the continent."

"It even found the place where its consciousness resided and sent his two parents to invade its consciousness day and night with the unknown evil power."

"They wanted its consciousness to sleep forever, so that the otherworldly soul could become the true master of the plane rather than merely its administrator."

"It never expected that the greatest danger since its birth would not be the unknown evil beyond chaos, nor the gods within its body who were dissatisfied with the status quo, but an otherworldly soul it had guided here."
