Shi Hao Was Actually the Wild Heavenly Emperor from the Future, Beyond Sacrificial Dao, Willow Deity Had Already Seen Through Everything (2)
Willow Deity glanced back, her deep, star-like beautiful eyes fixed steadily on Shi Hao. Her gaze seemed to contain endless vicissitudes and wisdom. Her voice was distant and ethereal, as though it came from another time and space.
"Alright, I should leave. Little Shi Hao, I have already vaguely seen my future in your eyes. But perhaps the future of both myself and the entire heavens will change because of your arrival. Your birth is reshaping this ancient history."
Hearing this, Shi Hao could not help but stir inwardly.
Could I really be the reincarnation of the Wild Heavenly Emperor?
But on second thought, he felt that it was not impossible.
After all, the Wild Heavenly Emperor's strength had reached Beyond Sacrificial Dao. According to the novel's description, Beyond Sacrificial Dao had already transcended the bounds of time and space, possessing omnipotent power that stood above everything.
Within the worldview of the entire novel, there was no realm higher than Beyond Sacrificial Dao.
If the Wild Heavenly Emperor had reached Beyond Sacrificial Dao and still wished to advance further, then he could only break free from the original worldview and enter the real world that had created the novel.
But if I am the Wild Heavenly Emperor's reincarnation, why don't I have the memories of ruling over eternity alone? Then again, perhaps after entering the real world, the Wild Heavenly Emperor went through countless reincarnations, which is why I cannot remember. Or perhaps I am merely an avatar created by the Wild Heavenly Emperor, not his true body...
Unable to make sense of it, Shi Hao immediately set those thoughts aside. Avatar or true body, as long as he confirmed that he was the Wild Heavenly Emperor from the future, he would have nothing to fear.
With that said, Willow Deity gently turned around. Her pale green moon robe fluttered softly through the void, like a cloud about to drift away with the wind.
Yet just as she was about to vanish into the void, Shi Hao suddenly stepped forward and tightly seized her jade-like hand.
Shi Hao's gaze burned with determination. Looking into Willow Deity's eyes, he spoke with a trace of reluctance and pleading. "Willow Deity, are you leaving so soon? I have already become the Stone Emperor, and I was planning to change the Tiandou Empire's name to the Stone Kingdom. Why not stay and keep me company? There are still many things I wish to ask you, and many mysteries remain unresolved. Don't you want to see whether I can truly become the person you spoke of?"
Seeing the persistence in Shi Hao's eyes, Willow Deity's heart trembled slightly. She gently pressed her lips together, as though she wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not speak. She merely looked quietly at Shi Hao, complex light flickering in her beautiful eyes.
She knew that Shi Hao's path of growth was destined to be filled with hardship and challenges. Though she was powerful, she could not remain by his side forever.
Thus, Willow Deity gently withdrew her hand, her gaze turning soft and profound. She lightly caressed Shi Hao's face. Her slender jade-like hand carried a faint chill, making Shi Hao feel refreshed and tranquil.
"Little Shi Hao, you must face this calamity seriously if you are to grow. The one who once created this plane has now entered the Upper Realm and become a Heavenly God. The owner of this Dao Flower has reached a realm beyond your imagination. So, when it is time for me to act, I will naturally act. You need not worry."
Willow Deity's voice was gentle yet resolute, as if it carried a magical power that made Shi Hao feel utterly reassured and trusting. He knew she was right. He had to learn to face everything alone before he could truly grow stronger.
At that moment, Willow Deity's figure suddenly became illusory. Her gaze rested on Shi Hao and Fairy Yuechan, and the corners of her lips rose slightly into a mysterious, profound smile.
"Remember what I said, Little Shi Hao. You must seek the answers to every mystery surrounding your birth yourself..."
After saying this, Willow Deity's figure completely disappeared into the void, and her voice gradually faded from the air, leaving only Shi Hao and Fairy Yuechan standing above the great hall.
"Heavenly God..."
After Willow Deity vanished, Shi Hao's heart stirred. He could not help murmuring to himself, his gaze becoming deep and distant, as if it had pierced through layers of void to see the unknown shore beyond.
"Could the person Willow Deity mentioned, the one who created this plane, be the Creator God who originally created the entire Douluo God Realm and the Dragon God? But who is the owner of the Dao Flower?"
Shi Hao's heart was filled with doubt and curiosity.
But now it seemed that after cultivating to the pinnacle in the universe where Douluo Continent was located, surpassing the Supreme God King and reaching an entirely new realm, one would break free from the Dao Flower's restraints and ascend into the Three Thousand Provinces of the Upper Realm.
On the vast bluestone square before the Tiandou Empire's imperial palace, soldiers stood in armor with spears in hand. They had once been iron-blooded warriors, yet at this moment, they could not conceal the shock and wild joy in their hearts.
Their gazes converged high in the sky. Although Willow Deity's figure had already disappeared, the air seemed to retain her majestic and mysterious aura.
"So His Majesty the Stone Emperor is truly the Son of Heaven, and there are even deities aiding him from behind..." one soldier muttered, worship and reverence gleaming in his eyes.
"That Willow Deity from earlier was actually His Majesty the Stone Emperor's teacher..." another soldier added, his voice filled with envy and longing.
These soldiers were accustomed to life and death, but at this moment, they were deeply shaken. Having a deity as one's teacher was something they had never even dared to imagine.
As the soldiers' discussions grew louder, the atmosphere across the square became increasingly fervent. In the eyes of these ordinary people, who did not even qualify as soul masters, deities above level one hundred were legendary beings. Thus, they naturally regarded Willow Deity as a deity who had descended from the God Realm.
Among the impassioned soldiers, a middle-aged man clad in golden armor stood out in particular. He was tall and imposing, with a steady, dignified face and a pair of sharp, bright tiger eyes.
He was Marshal Ge Long, hailed as the foremost figure in the Tiandou Empire's military.
Marshal Ge Long's heart was also in turmoil. As the Tiandou Empire's highest military commander, he naturally possessed exceptional insight and experience. He understood what Willow Deity's appearance signified. It was not merely the descent of a deity, but a symbol of the Tiandou Empire's boundless future potential.
That Willow Deity truly seemed to be a deity whose soul power had surpassed level one hundred... Marshal Ge Long secretly marveled. He knew that on this Douluo Continent, where strength was revered above all else, soul power rank meant everything. Deities above level one hundred were the existence every soul master dreamed of.
Thinking of this, Marshal Ge Long could not help feeling stirred. He knew that his soul power had remained stuck at level eighty-nine for many years. Though he was already considered one of the Tiandou Empire's top experts, he was still one step away from becoming a true Title Douluo.
Yet that one step was an insurmountable chasm that he could not cross no matter what he did.
But things were different now. With a deity like Willow Deity as His Majesty the Stone Emperor's teacher, the Tiandou Empire's future was limitless. As one of His Majesty the Stone Emperor's most loyal subjects, perhaps he would have a chance to receive Willow Deity's guidance and assistance.
If that happened, then breaking through the bottleneck at level eighty-nine and becoming a true Title Douluo would not be impossible.
The more he thought about it, the more unable he was to contain his excitement. Marshal Ge Long took a deep breath and tried to calm himself before shouting, "His Majesty the Stone Emperor bears Heaven's mandate. He is the Son of Heaven sent by the God Realm to save our Tiandou Empire. Everyone, quickly kneel with me..."
At Marshal Ge Long's command, the soldiers throughout the square dropped to their knees in unison. Their foreheads pressed against the bluestone, their hands braced on the ground, as they worshipped the void high above with the utmost reverence.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Stone Emperor! Greetings, Lord Willow Deity..."
The soldiers' voices rang out in perfect unison, deafening as they soared into the heavens.
