First Trial of the Fate God King

On the already repaired Shrek Square,

Wang Dong wore weighted iron armor and ran in circles while panting heavily.

In the middle of the square, Huo Yuhao lay on a lounge chair soaking up the sun, with a glass of iced Vile Old Third Tang and a pile of high-end desserts.

That was truly comfortable, and that was truly cozy.

Seeing this, Wang Dong gritted her teeth and said,

"Detestable guy! You agreed to accompany me on my laps, but you ended up going over there to enjoy a sunbath!"

"Hmph! I'll never call you Dad again in the future!"

At this moment, Huo Yuhao stroked the black ring on his right index finger.

This black ring was the World Ring given by the Plane Consciousness.

After he took it out of his Spiritual World, it merged into one with the White Tiger Ring.

With a thought, his consciousness entered the World Ring.

Inside the ring's world,

the sun shone brightly, piercing through the lush leaves to form a beautiful Tyndall effect.

Huo Yuhao's consciousness manifested a figure.

His azure-blue, star-river-brilliant six eyes looked far out into the distance.

The lush primeval forest was boundless, yet the scale of the forest was not as vast as the Star Dou Great Forest.

It was probably about a tenth of the size, while the other regions were either eternally sunny, desolate deserts or eternally dark, bone-chilling glaciers.

Only this forest area maintained a normal ecological environment, complete with sunsets and moonrises.

It was practically no different from the outside world.

Moreover, aside from trees and plants, there were almost no other living creatures inside.

"Not bad at all. This place can serve as my base camp, and I won't have to fear anyone discovering any secrets."

Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"Furthermore, I can also take the three great treasure-gathering grounds—the Icefire Yin Yang Well, the Dragon Valley, and the Heaven-and-Earth Love-Seeking Valley—and incorporate them within it."

"By that time, my World Ring will become the number one treasure-gathering land in the world."

Huo Yuhao daydreamed.

"Eh? Why are Brother Sky Dream and the others here too?"

Huo Yuhao controlled his consciousness to fly swiftly, and before long, he arrived at the very core of the forest within the ring.

Here lay a patch of sparkling lake water. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was building a house by the lakeside, while Elder Yi watched from the side as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finished reading Douluo Continent.

"Yuhao, you're here? Come help me build the house!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shouted in excitement upon seeing Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, "How did you guys run over here?"

Elder Yi said with a blank expression, "Your Spiritual World is connected to this world, so naturally we can enter it."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded. "I didn't expect it could also link to the Spiritual World. Not bad."

"This lake is a bit strange, isn't it?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stepped forward and explained,

"This lake is just like the Lake of Life belonging to those bad guys like Di Tian. If you get injured, you can come here to heal, and it guarantees you won't have a single ailment by the next day."

"Your mother really is generous. Not only did she gift you a small world, but she also threw in a healing holy land comparable to the Lake of Life."

"I'm so envious I could die!"

Huo Yuhao just smiled and said nothing.

Elder Yi spoke up from the side:

"The more precious something is, the more disastrous the price paid for it."

"You fellow are as naive as ever!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said angrily, "What are you saying, you old codger?"

"Your Brother Sky Dream here is a million-year soul beast, how could I possibly be naive—"

Slap!

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was sent flying with a vicious strike.

"You bastard! Haven't you ever heard that a gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands?!"

"I'll fight you to the death! Take my Tian Meng's Spit!"

Slap, slap, slap!

"Stop! Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! Yuhao, save me!"

Huo Yuhao chuckled at that.

Just like in the original work, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was still as fond of complaining and talking a lot.

Yet Elder Yi was different; whenever he felt Tian Meng was being annoying, it meant a round of whipping.

Still, one could not blame Elder Yi either, as Tian Meng's mouth was simply too fragmented and irritating.

Huo Yuhao walked over to the lakeside and sat on a clean patch of lawn.

He took out a glowing sphere radiating seven-color light.

"Should I really use this God Trial of the Fate God King or not?"

Huo Yuhao still held some dread in his heart.

He wondered if the Plane Consciousness had hidden any backdoors within it.

If it were the previous Plane Consciousness, he would have dared to absorb it directly.

Yet the Plane Consciousness, having experienced the incident with Fishfork God King Tang San...

was definitely filled with vigilance toward otherworldly souls.

Who was to say whether some backdoor was hidden inside this God Trial?

"Being indecisive is certainly not my style."

"What is there to be afraid of? Transmigration was arranged by the Plane Consciousness anyway; if it wanted to leave a back door, it would have done so long ago. Why the hell am I worrying about these things?"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao slapped the seven-color light sphere against the center of his brow.

Immediately, a seven-color pillar of light rose up, shooting straight into the clouds.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Elder Yi looked toward that seven-color pillar of light at the same time.

"Is this the might of a God Trial? Can this small world withstand it, oh?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said with some worry.

If the barrier of the small world was broken open, it would definitely be detected by Fishfork God King Tang San.

By then, it would certainly invite even more schemes and plots.

Elder Yi said coldly, "This matter is not up to you or me to worry about; the great Creator must have prepared long ago."

Just as Elder Yi's voice fell, the seven-color pillar of light rapidly descended.

All the seven-color light merged into Huo Yuhao's brow, and shortly after, a seven-color pattern emerged at the center of his brow.

Countless lines of fate intertwined together to form a pattern of a heavenly eye.

That heavenly eye seemed capable of peeking into the origin of fate and seemed capable of peeking into the end of fate.

Until all the seven-color light was completely absorbed by fate.

Huo Yuhao slowly landed back down, and the content of the first trial rang out in his mind.

[First Trial: Fateful Turning Point]
[Change the fate of martial soul fusion with Tang Wutong, and choose another person to conduct martial soul fusion]

Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin. "This first trial really is a plot targeting Fishfork God King Tang San."

"Yet my Six Eyes can't even look favorably upon the martial soul specially prepared for it by Tang San."

"Let alone other martial souls; isn't this a bit difficult?"

Changing the original fate was simple after all; his martial soul hadn't taken a fancy to Wang Dong's martial soul anyway.

The main issue was the second condition: choosing another person to conduct martial soul fusion.

Who should he find?

Whose martial soul could match the Six Eyes?

Even a Divinely Granted Martial Soul was definitely not worthy of the Six Eyes.

This left Huo Yuhao somewhat troubled.

"Forget it, as long as my thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. I'll think about it slowly; there's no rush."

The end-of-class bell rang.

On the plaza.

Xiao Xiao leaned against the armrest of a sun lounger, cupping her cheeks with both hands, looking at Huo Yuhao with a starstruck expression.

"Brother Yuhao! Even when sleeping, you're the handsomest!"

Xiao Xiao looked around to the left and right, discovering there were no other people nearby.

"If I just give Brother Yuhao a tiny little kiss, it shouldn't be discovered, right?"

"Then I'll just kiss him once."

With a red face and flushed ears, Xiao Xiao pursed her small lips, about to press them against Huo Yuhao's face.

"Hey, hey, hey! What do you little pervert think you're doing?!"

Wang Dong shouted loudly.

Xiao Xiao said in a fluster, "I, I... I'm helping Brother Yuhao cool off, afraid he'll get too hot."

Wang Dong looked completely unconvinced. "You little pervert have malicious intentions. If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid you really would have succeeded!"

Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips and retorted angrily, "We're a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven. Is it your turn to object, you creepy guy?"
