You Aren't One Now, but You Will Be in the Future

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena's expression, stroked his chin, and asked, "Do you truly understand, or are you just pretending? Or are you only half-believing?"

Or perhaps, I'm imagining something strange?

"Of course..." Gu Yuena glanced at Huo Yuhao with dissatisfaction, met his gaze, and ultimately looked away somewhat hesitantly, muttering:

"You've hinted at this to me indirectly many times. Every time we talk about identity, Yuhao, you emphasize that we'll treat you like an ordinary Soul Master."

"You were overly cautious when it came to the Sea God's Divine Sense. Or rather, after that extraction of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, you stopped trying to hide anything and have been intentionally or unintentionally revealing flaws."

"I had a vague feeling that you didn't want me to treat you as a reincarnated deity, so I sometimes had doubts... though only a little. It wasn't until the Snow Empress emerged from your Spiritual Sea that I realized something was amiss."

At this point, Gu Yuena's expression became somewhat complicated as she looked at Huo Yuhao again.

"In both meetings, your relationship with Snow Empress was too equal; she didn't treat you like a deity, and her protective attitude towards you was far too obvious."

How vast is the difference between the Lord of the Extreme North and the God King?

Vastly different.

However, from their interactions, she couldn't see any difference in their social status. Snow Empress treated Huo Yuhao as family, protector, and even confidant...

A reincarnated God King and a Snow Woman whose path to godhood is essentially severed become confidants? This isn't a fairy tale.

Since Yuhao's return, how many people know his true situation?

Yuhao has tried hard to integrate into this era, but his level and strength are insufficient; some people don't even have the right to know the truth. If the Snow Empress had faced Huo Yuhao, the reincarnation of God King, Ten Thousand Years Ago, the two might have become ordinary friends, but that would have been the end of it...

"But that was just a doubt and intuition. If you hadn't told me, I would still have believed you were a god."

Gu Yuena's tone was complicated, "Even if you tell me the truth now, I still don't quite believe it. I only believe it because you told me."

After all, who would mistake a human with Super Divine Tool and knowledge of the Divine Realm for an ordinary person?

Even now that Huo Yuhao is clear that he is not a god, she still feels it's unreal. A human knows more about the Divine Realm than she does and can even guide her cultivation; she might as well believe that the other person is a god... Yuhao's act is too convincing.

"..."

Huo Yuhao smiled with relief, "You must have had many questions in your mind, but because of trust, you didn't ask."

"I must apologize to you. As I said before, I am neither a god nor God King; I am merely a lucky one."

"When I first signed the contract with you, I actually had ulterior motives. I wanted your Bloodline Power, and even wanted to use it..."

Gu Yuena placed her delicate white fingers against Huo Yuhao's lips, stopping him from saying anything more.

She looked up at him, her eyes seemingly sparkling. "In this world, who can say they've never had selfish desires? Even gods are no exception."

"When we first met, I was the one who tested them, and being countered was the result I deserved. Besides, when it comes to using someone, wasn't I also hoping to gain the assistance of a deity?"

She paused, her voice lowering, "Our relationship hasn't hurt either of us; on the contrary, I'm very happy, so there's no need to apologize. The most important thing now is... that you're willing to tell me all this."

A burst of silver light erupted, and her figure stretched out in the light. Her waist-length silver hair cascaded like a galaxy, and her violet eyes were clearer than the purest crystal, their gaze seemingly able to see through everything in the world.

She stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Huo Yuhao's waist, and pressed her face against his chest. Her silver hair shimmered softly under the light, and a cool, subtle fragrance wafted from it.

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, his body instinctively stiffening, but soon, feeling the warmth of the person in his arms, his tense nerves relaxed. He slowly raised his hand and finally gently stroked her back.

"Even if you don't tell me the truth, it doesn't really make a difference. You've lived for tens of thousands of years, and you have the recognition of that mysterious Super Divine Tool, and a whole host of other advantages. All you lack is time."

Gu Yuena closed her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips. "You aren't now, but you will be in the future, so it's not lying to me."

She wasn't angry. Yuhao had never hurt her, and Jun Yicheng treated her with sincerity. Why should she be angry?

Moreover, the value of some things varies greatly between those given by deities and those given by those who have not yet attained divinity...

Huo Yuhao paused, then smiled slightly, "Okay, I will be."

One minute, two minutes, three minutes... The two embraced for a long time. Huo Yuhao sensed that Gu Yuena had no intention of letting go and pursed his lips.

"Na'er, shouldn't we...?"

"I only said you don't need to apologize for lying to me, but that doesn't mean I'm not angry. You only explained things knowing I could accept it, so I'm angry. This is compensation."

This reason... is unsolvable.

But the expression on your face doesn't look like you're angry.

Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly.

After a long while, Gu Yuena stepped back with a blush on her face, looked up at him, and changed the subject back to what she had been talking about.

"Yuhao, where do you think we should start in extracting the Divine Core and its Divine Consciousness?"

Have you made up your mind?

Seeing Gu Yuena nod, Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and said:

"There should be some connection issues between the different Divine Power seals. The sixth to seventh layers, as well as the twelfth and thirteenth layers, are probably the loopholes in the seals; these are the two best opportunities. As for the Golden Dragon King Seal energy, which involves God Rank power, it should be on the fifteenth layer and beyond—that's the true core..."

"..."

Seeing the strange expression on Gu Yuena's face, Huo Yuhao stopped talking.

"What's wrong?"

"I still feel it's better to treat you as God King," Gu Yuena whispered.

Or rather, someone who is almost omniscient.

Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head. "It's best not to have too high hopes for my strength."

"Getting back to the main point, we can wait and see how things develop. Our strength is still recovering, so there's no need to rush."

We also need to give Wulin some time.

It's too cruel to make him experience things at the age of ten. Let him follow his own path first...

As if recalling something, Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly, drawing Gu Yuena's attention.

"Yuhao, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Huo Yuhao composed himself and smiled slightly.

He was quite proud that he hadn't gone astray.

"Wulin, what do you want to do?"

Within the Sealed Space, Tang San's Divine Sense, awakened once again by Tang Wulin, looked at him with a helpless expression.

Your Tenten visits prevent me from sleeping and deplete my Divine Consciousness power.

"I don't think the Golden Dragon King's Remnant Soul is necessarily a bad person. We can teach it some ideas first and see if we can get along with it."

Tang Wulin looked at Tang San's Divine Sense, "It should be able to hear us, right?"

If he were alone, he might have been fooled by "Old Tang" before, but now he has many people to talk to. After listening to Teacher Xiong Jun and Yuhao's analysis, he understands that Old Tang was deceiving him before.

In other words, that mysterious voice was Old Tang, and his thinking was based on the Shrek Academy's ideology.

He claims to be teaching the Golden Dragon King, but what he really wants to do is teach Old Tang.

Could this be considered a different kind of "fighting fire with fire"?

Although Teacher Xiong Jun agreed, he told him not to have too high hopes.

"Yes, that's possible."

Tang San's Divine Sense's lips twitched. "But I don't think he'd listen to your reasoning."

Giving a lecture to the Golden Dragon King?

Wulin, you're being far too unrealistic.

"Maybe," Tang Wulin said. "But I'm now Teacher Xiong Jun's disciple, a core disciple of the Spirit Pagoda. I can read ' The First Generation Tower Master's Teachings,' which contains the thoughts of the First Generation Tower Master and has many valuable lessons. I think it will be useful."

Tang San's eye twitched when he heard the name of the book.

The First Generation Tower Master's Teachings?

Is this Huo Yuhao's thought?

Wanla, Wulin is going to be completely corrupted by Huo Yuhao...

Moreover, Wulin is now required to output the other party's thoughts within the Sealed Space, which means he is also forced to listen to the lecture.

He's going to be taught by Huo Yuhao? What Nightmare!
