"Holy Necromancer, Undead Calamity." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm mulled over the title and felt that it sounded more impressive than his own Million-Year Soul Beast. He began pondering what title he should give himself. God of Soul Beasts was far too pretentious, while Ice Silkworm Calamity did not sound domineering enough.

"Bingbing, how about I call myself the Ice Dream Saint Beast from now on? Ice comes from you, Dream comes from me. This title symbolizes the beginning of our journey of love. One day, I'll make the name Ice Dream Saint Beast resound throughout the entire Douluo Continent!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked Ice Empress for her opinion.

Ice Empress sneered, then immediately unleashed a full set of Invincible Scorpion Fists and began viciously beating Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Stop hitting me, Bingbing, stop! I'm not afraid of pain, but I'm afraid your pincers will hurt when you hit me! If your pincers hurt, my heart will ache for you!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said.

"Shut up! Don't say such things in front of Elder Yi." Ice Empress flew into a rage. After sensing Electrolux's level, she instinctively addressed him as "Elder Yi" to show her respect.

Huo Yuhao could barely hold it together. Tian Meng was truly shameless when it came to fawning.

If Tian Meng had been an ordinary modern man, his bootlicking nature would definitely have made him spend plenty of money on love. Tian Meng truly deserved to be one of Douluo's foremost simps. Of course, compared to a failed simp like Bibi Dong, Tian Meng could indeed be considered a successful man.

However, his spiritual body had now appeared in the Sea of Consciousness as well. Looking at the gray figure floating in midair, he felt a trace of joy.

Elder Yi! You're finally awake!

To be honest, throughout the entirety of Peerless Tang Sect, Electrolux was undoubtedly a trustworthy and good teacher, as well as one of the few normal people on the Tang Family Continent.

Electrolux had truly given Huo Yuhao everything he had. Of course, not in the literal sense of tearing out his heart and lungs.

If the original Huo Gua had not gone to the Clear Sky Sect and absorbed some of the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Jade Marrow Bed, causing the Snow Empress's sealed power within him to erupt, Electrolux's fragment of divine consciousness would never have needed to sacrifice itself.

Even though Douluo's first soul spirit was born that day, the destruction of Electrolux's fragment of divine consciousness was still an enormous blow to the original Huo Gua.

He had always believed that if Electrolux had not died, Huo Gua would undoubtedly have had a trustworthy elder with rich life experience by his side. Perhaps the original Huo Gua's personality would have been better afterward, and he might not have suddenly turned into a complete slave to love.

Whenever he read about Huo Gua expressing his love for Tang Wutong, he always felt somewhat uncomfortable. After all, Dong'er and Qiu'er had left far too deep an impression on him. Both Dong'er and Qiu'er were characters he liked, yet they had been stitched together into the unfamiliar Tang Wutong, whom Huo Gua loved to death.

Of course, no matter whose fault it was, it was all Tang Buddha's fault.

After all, Tang Buddha seemed to dislike Electrolux greatly. Back in Qiankun Love Questioning Valley, Tang Buddha had even deliberately destroyed the relic Electrolux left behind.

That relic had been a small tower. It had probably wanted to take Huo Gua away after seeing him nearly collapse from Tang San's beating, only to be directly shattered by Tang Buddha at the height of his power. It was utterly ridiculous.

"Now Ice Empress, Tian Meng, and Electrolux are all in my Sea of Consciousness. With my spiritual body added in, we could almost make up a table of mahjong. Too bad there's no mahjong table." Huo Yuhao's thoughts churned.

He then looked at the gray figure. "Hello, Elder Yi."

Electrolux was someone worthy of respect, so he directly addressed him as Elder Yi.

"Hello, Yuhao. Ever since I entered your Sea of Consciousness, I have been observing you. You are a good child, but your identity should be anything but ordinary," Electrolux said.

"My identity isn't ordinary?" Huo Yuhao froze. Could he have seen through my identity as a transmigrator?

Electrolux continued on his own, "I can sense that an immensely powerful force lies dormant in your Sea of Consciousness. This force possesses no consciousness, yet it has been protecting you all along."

Huo Yuhao was stunned, then immediately thought of the golden light in his Sea of Consciousness. To be honest, he only knew that the golden light could help seal away parts of his memories and prevent others from discovering his identity as a transmigrator. Beyond that, it seemed to have no other function.

Back at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, he had studied that golden light as well. He had only discovered that feeding it Spiritual Power could make it grow larger. However, in order to cultivate Soul Power and craft Soul Tools, he naturally could not pour too much Spiritual Power into it.

For a moment, even Ice Empress, who had been beating Tian Meng nearby, froze. If someone of Elder Yi's level said Yuhao's identity was extraordinary, then what exactly was Yuhao's identity?

Tian Meng was also uneasy. "Yuhao, could it be that you've been hiding something from us? No, that can't be right. Based on the memories I checked back then, I should know every single thing about you!"

This is bad. There's a crisis of trust. I need to find a reason to explain things, resolve this trust crisis, and make Ice Empress and Tian Meng trust and acknowledge me even more.

With that in mind, Huo Yuhao immediately said, "I'm not very clear on any other identities I might have either. But over the years, I've always had the same dream. In that dream, there was a place called the Divine Realm.

"One day there was equal to one year in the Lower Realm. Standing atop the clouds of the Divine Realm, I could see the changes on the Douluo Continent. I saw a streak of silver light pass through the sky. I saw countless soul beasts multiply and thrive. I also saw humanity gradually rise."

"The Divine Realm!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was delighted, and his voice involuntarily rose. "Logically speaking, even if it was a dream you had, I should have known all about it!

"Could you be a god reincarnated to cultivate anew? You must have lost a great deal of your memories. That should be the only possibility. Otherwise, with my Spiritual Power, there was no way you could have hidden it from me when you only had the cultivation of a soul master!"

Ice Empress was equally astonished. "If you're a god reincarnated to cultivate anew... doesn't that mean you're destined to become a god?"

Damn it, I've turned into the reincarnated Tang San!

If a God King could reincarnate and cultivate anew, then gods should be able to do so as well.

However, Tang San had reincarnated across an enormous distance. Comparatively speaking, the distance between the Divine Realm and Douluo Star was much closer than the world Xiao Wu had reincarnated into. So it was perfectly reasonable for a god to reincarnate, right?

Huo Yuhao sighed. "I don't know whether I'm a god reincarnated to cultivate anew. However, I can be certain that I have always had a feeling that one day, I will return to the world from that dream.

"Sometimes, I can sense things that will benefit me or harm me. My intuition has saved me many times. Whether at Duke's Mansion or on the way to the Star Dou Great Forest, my intuition has guided my actions."

Since neither Tian Meng nor Ice Empress had ever been gods and had no idea how powerful gods truly were, Huo Yuhao spun a tale about the intuition of a god reincarnated to cultivate anew, laying the groundwork for taking the initiative in the future.

After all, he would need to go to certain places to obtain opportunities in the future. He could not just suddenly decide to go without explanation, since he would have no way to account for it to Tian Meng and Ice Empress. So he came up with this intuition as an excuse.

But honestly, although divine intuition was not explicitly stated in the setting, it really did exist—and it was incredibly uncanny.

Take Tang San in the Divine Realm, for example. As the God King who controlled the Divine Realm Central Hub, Tang San had always sensed that something ominous would happen to the Divine Realm, so he opposed the God of Destruction's expansion of the Divine Realm. In the end, the Divine Realm truly encountered an enormously powerful Space-Time Turbulence, which undoubtedly proved Tang San's intuition correct.

"So that's why. I was wondering why, after being unlucky for so long, my fortunes suddenly changed and I encountered a soul master with a spiritual attribute. So that's what happened. Yuhao, your intuition is too powerful. You truly are a god reincarnated to cultivate anew!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly understood.

To be honest, his life as a silkworm could currently be divided into two stages: before encountering Di Tian, and after encountering Di Tian. Before encountering Di Tian, he had been one of the luckiest soul beasts in the world. All he had to do was eat and sleep to grow stronger. If that got out, it would undoubtedly draw the envy of countless soul beasts.

But after meeting Di Tian, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had been unlucky for a very long time, even nearly being drained dry.

"So that's how it is!" Ice Empress was delighted as well. She felt that her and Tian Meng's decision to create a god was unquestionably correct. Huo Yuhao before her had been certified by Elder Yi as someone with an extraordinary identity. Did that not mean she could follow Huo Yuhao and live forever in the future?

Electrolux also sighed with emotion. "I do not understand the gods of your world. But if you can truly become a god in the future, that would be a good thing. From what you have said, the gods of your world seem capable of eternal life while retaining their own consciousness.

"Alright. This wisp of my divine consciousness is too weak. I must continue sleeping."

After saying that, Electrolux fell silent.

Huo Yuhao began considering going to the auction house later to obtain the Life Spirit Gold. That way, Elder Yi's fragment of divine consciousness would no longer be rootless duckweed.

"Of course, I still need to study and develop this golden light more. I wonder what other functions it has!"

Huo Yuhao felt helpless. He then bypassed the corpse slaves and flew toward Mingdu.

Sun Moon Empire.

Mingdu.

A youth with pink-blue hair was walking down the road alongside a tall man with green hair.

Wang Dong looked around at the nearby buildings and muttered, "Eldest Father, this place is completely different from the Clear Sky Sect and Shrek Academy. I've never seen buildings like these before. The Soul Tools here seem excessively advanced. Shrek Academy's Soul Tools can't compare to the ones here.

"But you should tell me now, shouldn't you? Why did you bring me around the Douluo Continent after the end of the term? Usually, you and Second Father stay in the sect and never travel far."

Da Ming sighed helplessly. "Xiao Dong, I only thought you should get out and get some fresh air sometimes, so you don't become too stifled. You're at such a lively age. It wouldn't be good to have you cooped up in the rigid Clear Sky Sect every time you go on break.

"Of course, visiting other empires can also let you witness the rapidly changing world outside."

For Da Ming, the main reason he had come here was Tang San's request.

Several days ago, Wang Dong had returned to the Clear Sky Sect and officially begun her holiday. Then a wisp of Tang San's divine consciousness appeared and told him and Er Ming that a Rising Star would appear on the Douluo Continent. He also ordered Da Ming to take Wang Dong to the Sun Moon Empire.

The reason they were going to the Sun Moon Empire was mainly because, after Tang San's tireless efforts day and night, he had finally faintly pierced through the mist obscuring the Rising Star's destiny and learned that the Rising Star had spent some time in the Sun Moon Empire recently.

In order to carry out the plan to tame the Rising Star, God King Tang San issued an order for Da Ming to leave the mountains and assist Wang Dong with the plan.

Once they found the Rising Star, no matter who possessed it, they were to immediately begin a battle to seize it. Since Da Ming had no divine position, as long as Tang San concealed things a little, certain rules of the Divine Realm would not be able to restrain Da Ming, and the other gods would not discover his actions.

Moreover, in the Sun Moon Empire, there truly was no one who could defeat the Da Ming Tang San had revived. In a sense, Da Ming was invincible.

Of course, Er Ming had not been assigned because Da Ming was smarter than Er Ming and knew what should and should not be done. With Er Ming's personality, he was not suited for overly meticulous work.

According to Tang San's demands, during this battle to seize the Rising Star, they absolutely had to create an opportunity for the Rising Star and Xiao Dong to meet and get acquainted, thereby tying their fates together.

Da Ming still remembered that when he had asked Tang San why he would not act personally, Tang San had said righteously, "Gods must not interfere in worldly affairs. As a God King, and one of the Divine Realm's three great Law Enforcers, I must lead by example and serve as a good model for the other gods!

"Of course, this is also to prevent Destruction from finding something to hold against me, so he cannot keep harping on it during meetings! Therefore, unless it concerns my daughter, I have no justification to act!"

"Eldest Father, Mingdu is so extravagant." Wang Dong sighed. "Is this the place where Soul Guidance Technology is the most advanced? What a shame. I simply can't use any Soul Tools that aren't the same model used by Tang Sect Ancestor Tang San. I have no idea why."

Hearing this, a trace of heartache appeared in Da Ming's eyes. He had always treated Wang Dong as his goddaughter.

After all, she was Little Wu-jie's only child.

He knew that Wang Dong's inability to use Soul Tools was still Tang San's doing. Tang San wanted Wang Dong to undergo tests set by a loving father. According to Tang San, how could one see a rainbow without weathering storms? Even he, a God King, had gone through countless trials before reaching where he was today.

Therefore, even his own biological daughter had to undergo some trials!

"Forget it. Tang San is Xiao Qi's biological father, after all. Everything he does is ultimately for Xiao Qi's sake. I can only keep it hidden from Little Wu-jie with him. Otherwise, given Little Wu-jie's temper, Tang San would definitely get scolded."

Da Ming felt somewhat troubled. Suddenly, he saw Wang Dong's body walk uncontrollably in a certain direction.

"Hm? Could she have found the Rising Star?" Da Ming was delighted and immediately followed her.

Wang Dong was also confused. She felt that a desire to search for something had suddenly arisen within her heart. The feeling was urgent and utterly inexplicable, as if something dormant inside her body had suddenly awakened.

For a moment, she felt an inexplicable sense of panic.
