The Plane Consciousness, His Biological Mother

"So, it once again mobilized the Power of Destiny of the plane. This time, it used all its strength. After what happened in the previous life, it no longer dared to use an otherworldly soul and instead concentrated the Power of Destiny upon a native lifeform."

"Once it had done all that, it should have fallen asleep again, waiting for a messenger favored by destiny to resolve the hidden danger, just as the previous messengers had."

"But for some reason, it glimpsed a fragment of the future. Its future messenger not only failed to eliminate the hidden danger, but instead became the pet dog of that otherworldly soul, allowing himself to be commanded and accelerating the otherworldly soul's scheme."

"As a result, it remained asleep forever, and the plane completely fell under the control of that otherworldly soul."

"But just as it was struggling with this, an otherworldly soul appeared within the chaos. It saw hope in him and wanted to make him its messenger of destiny."

"To have him walk the path of fate it had arranged."

At this point, Huo Yuhao remained silent for a long while before speaking.

"That otherworldly soul was me?"

"And you! My mother was the incarnation of the Plane Consciousness?"

Huo Yun'er—not the Plane Consciousness—smiled.

"You're as clever as ever. It only makes me more certain that my choice back then was not wrong."

Huo Yuhao stroked his chin.

The Plane Consciousness's words had practically covered the entire birth of the plane and the disasters it had encountered.

Simply put, planes could fall ill, while the Gods, the Dragon God, Tang San, and Huo Yuhao were all doctors who helped the plane cure its disease.

But the previous doctor, Tang San, was just like the first generation of doctors, the Gods.

The youth who had once slaughtered dragons eventually became an evil dragon himself.

Huo Yuhao's mission was to eliminate Fishfork God King Tang San, this hidden danger, and restore the plane's health.

But Huo Yuhao in the original story had been too immature. Even though the Plane Consciousness had practically spoon-fed him everything,

he still could not withstand Fishfork God King Tang San's schemes and was ultimately trained into a pet dog.

He helped Fishfork God King Tang San rule the God Realm, plunging the Plane Consciousness into complete slumber.

No wonder all the protagonists after Soul Land 2 were Tang Clan Members.

So by then, the continent had already fallen under Fishfork God King Tang San's control. Naturally, the messengers of destiny had to be his descendants.

They continuously weakened the plane's power while producing one God King-level descendant after another.

"Come here."

With a wave of Huo Yun'er's hand, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Elder Yi appeared before them.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm kept waving his tiny hands. "Who are you? How dare you capture Brother Sky Dream? Take my Heavenly Dream Eighteen Palms!"

Slap!

An invisible slap suddenly struck out, leaving the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm utterly dazed.

Then another series of relentless slaps came crashing down.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could only cry out in surrender.

"I was wrong! Stop hitting me! Save me, Yuhao!"

Huo Yuhao covered his face to hide his embarrassment.

At that moment, Elder Yi transformed into human form. His skin, hair, and pupils were grayish-white. He wore a loose mage robe, and his icy eyes were as cold as frost.

Judging by his appearance, he perfectly matched the image of a necromancer.

Elder Yi slowly opened his eyes and gave Huo Yun'er a deep bow.

"Holy Necromancer Electrolux pays respects to the great Creator, the God of Creation!"

Huo Yun'er smiled faintly. "Not bad. You have far better manners than that bug."

"Thank you for your praise. Electrolux is deeply honored."

Electrolux said this expressionlessly.

Huo Yun'er smiled. "What I said just now was not only for Yuhao to hear, but for the two of you as well."

"I hope you will not blame my selfishness for changing your fates and tying them together."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly understood. "So it was you!"

"I thought that bastard Tang San had plotted against me!"

Slap! Slap!

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was whipped again.

Electrolux respectfully said, "Great Creator, I should have died long ago. Since you granted me new life, I am naturally willing to offer everything to you."

Huo Yun'er said with a smile, "If you kill Tang San or drive him away, all of you may attain the position of God King, gain eternal life, and rule the God Realm."

"Are you willing?"

Huo Yun'er presented an offer that no one could refuse.

Kill Tang San, or drag him down from his divine altar.

Then they would all attain the position of God King and become the gods with the greatest authority and strongest power in this plane.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hurriedly nodded. "Willing, willing! I, Tian Meng, am willing!"

Electrolux gave a slight bow. "I am willing to serve you."

"No, I refuse!"

Huo Yuhao's voice of refusal echoed through the silent Spiritual World.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm moved closer and tried to persuade him. "Yuhao, are you stupid? According to the original memories, even if you became a god, you would at most become a First-Level God. But now, as long as you defeat Tang San Dog, you can become a God King. Why would you refuse?"

Electrolux said nothing, his face remaining expressionless.

Huo Yun'er seemed to have expected this and was not surprised.

Huo Yuhao looked at Huo Yun'er. "Mom, you know what kind of person I am."

"I like freedom. I don't like giving up my freedom just to do one thing, or certain things."

"That isn't what I want. Forget God King—even if you offered me the position of Plane Master as a reward,"

"I still wouldn't do it."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was stunned again.

How could such a person exist in this world?

He would give up even the position of God King for freedom?

Besides, wouldn't he still be free after becoming a God King?

He would only lose some freedom during the process.

Huo Yun'er asked, "Then what would it take for you to help me?"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and smiled. "Very simple."

"If you ask me and instruct me to do it as a mother, then I'll do it."

"As for whether the outcome will be as you wish, I cannot say. I can only promise to do my best."

Huo Yuhao spoke his mind.

If someone else tried to use immense wealth, overwhelming authority, or supreme power to demand that he give up his freedom and do something,

he would refuse without hesitation.

But if it was his mother's instruction or request,

then he would have no reason to refuse.

While preserving his freedom, he would do everything he could to fulfill his mother's request.

That was what a child ought to do.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was stunned once more.

Huo Yuhao's personality was truly strange.

He did not want the position of God King.

Yet a request from his mother could make him give his all to fulfill it.

Strange. Truly too strange.

Huo Yun'er smiled gently. "Yuhao, you are still as carefree as ever. But that is good. It will keep you from falling into Tang San's schemes."

"Yuhao, Mom is asking you here: I hope you can kill Tang San or drive him out of the God Realm."

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly. "Mom, it would be my honor."

"By the way, let me ask something. Are you really my mother?"

Huo Yun'er explained, "Yes. In the original fate, you should not have been my child. You should have been born to Huo Yun'er and Dai Hao, but your soul was wrapped and protected by a pair of eyes."

"If you were to be born, a body matching those eyes had to be nurtured."

"Mortals could not do it. Not even gods could."

"So I became Huo Yun'er and used my own origin to nurture you, accompanying you at your side according to fate."

"Until Tang San's scheme was carried out, my consciousness returned, leaving behind only this shell of a soul."
