Shielding the Silver Dragon King in Front of Him

Stepping out of the room, Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered faintly. He silently reviewed his own performance and the changes in Gu Yuena's expression, and he had a sense of where things stood.

Compared with the Silver Dragon King, where did his own advantages lie?

Some intelligence involving the Divine Realm and the Gods, Old Yi's knowledge, the mark of the Throne of Seal, the steady temperament he had developed over ten thousand years... It was not much, but it was enough.

Use his strengths to make up for his weaknesses, and wager small against great odds!

Using the aura of the Throne of Seal's mark and a little intelligence to obtain the identity of a Deity who could converse on equal footing was not bad at all.

As for why he, the reincarnation of a Deity, looked so ordinary? Let us take a look at the reincarnated Tang God King. Did it not suddenly seem reasonable?

There were many problems he could not solve, but the current situation was not enough to drive him into a dead end.

And the Silver Dragon King was different from Tang San's Divine Sense. Huo Yuhao could not determine her condition, and could not gamble on whether she could recover god-level power after paying a price.

After all, even he, if it truly came to a desperate fight, could bring out all the origin he had from ten thousand years ago and maintain Quasi-God combat strength and Divine Origin Realm-level Spiritual Power for a period of time.

And according to Di Tian, Gu Yuena's strength was above the Plane Master's and would not be suppressed. If she paid a price and brought out the strength of a First Rank God... the consequences were obvious. So he could only adopt deterrence as his method.

The benefits were also obvious. From now on, as long as he did not expose himself, Gu Yuena would never carry out the plan from the original plot no matter what. It could be considered one layer of insurance.

However, there was a price for making Gu Yuena misunderstand that he was a Deity. Once he was exposed, she would probably kill him outright.

But there was no such thing as having the best of both worlds. Being able to gain the Silver Dragon King's respect while in a human body naturally came with such a price.

"The pressure's a little heavy."

Huo Yuhao shook his head inwardly, then smiled again.

Compared with ten thousand years ago, when a God King of the Divine Realm personally watched him, what did this bit of pressure now count for?

Only, it was time to explain things to them.

In the Spiritual Sea, the moment Huo Yuhao's spiritual avatar appeared there, the three existences had already turned somewhat complicated gazes toward him.

This was not strange. After all, he had never brought up his greatest secret with them, and because of the mark of the Throne of Seal, Tian Meng had never seen his memories either.

"Yuhao, you..."

The Ice Empress hesitated slightly.

"Bing Bing, don't ask."

Before the Ice Empress could speak, Tian Meng solemnly said first, "I believe Yuhao had his reasons for hiding it from us."

The Ice Empress shot him a sideways look. "Hmph. Are you saying I don't believe Yuhao?"

At this point, she paused, then turned her gaze back to Huo Yuhao and sighed. "I just don't want him to carry everything by himself whenever something happens."

Huo Yuhao had not exchanged much with Gu Yuena, but it was still enough for the others to guess many things, such as that the other party might know about Deities, or might even be the reincarnation of a Deity.

And there was also the mark deep within the Spiritual Sea. They knew it was not simple, but they had never imagined its origin would be so great, great enough to make a god feel wary.

Thinking about it now, the fact that Yuhao had never considered becoming a god back then might have been because he knew that becoming a god... was a disaster for him.

"Because it involved Deities, you could not help him, and he also did not want us to worry."

Electrolux cast his gaze toward the mark of the Throne of Seal deep within, then looked at Huo Yuhao. His tone rarely carried a trace of reproach.

"But why did you not tell me? Now that you've grown, you think your teacher is no good anymore?"

He knew very well that Huo Yuhao might have something special about him, but he could not possibly be a Deity. That information might have been given to him by the Throne of Seal.

"Old Yi, I've never thought that. I'm still hoping that after you revive, you'll be able to take on a hundred by yourself."

Huo Yuhao revealed a gentle smile. "Besides, when people grow up, they always have privacy of their own."

"But since I've come here, I don't intend to keep hiding things from you. I won't explain the specific source of the information, but are you prepared? Our enemies are Deities."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm chuckled. "If you're the reincarnation of a Deity, Yuhao, then of course we aren't afraid. If you aren't, then there's even less need to be afraid. You, in a human body, managed to fool a Deity. This god doesn't look all that impressive."

"She is the Silver Dragon King, a dragon Deity, and the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "..."

Oh no. He had mocked the wrong god. It felt like he had cursed himself too.

The Ice Empress frowned. "I once heard Xue'er say that the true ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest was not Di Tian. Is it her?"

"That's right."

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. He slowly spoke, telling everyone about the abyss, Tang San's Divine Sense, the Plane Master, the Two Great Dragon Kings, the Dragon God, and the other existences.

As for the Great God Circle, that was still too far away. If he was confident he could handle it, he could speak of it later. If, in the end, he had no ability to deal with it, he would make arrangements for Old Yi and the others.

"In other words, they're all restricted?"

Tian Meng, who had thought all their enemies were max-level, unrestricted Deities, completely let out a breath of relief.

He had worried for nothing. Aside from the Abyssal Sage King, was this not just a bunch of cripples?

They could fight. They could fight.

"Mm. I even strongly suspect that Tang San's Divine Sense's state is inferior to Old Yi's." Huo Yuhao glanced at Electrolux's solid spiritual body.

After ten thousand years of accumulation, the current Electrolux could sense the outside world at any time, had accumulated quite a bit of divine sense power, and remained conscious at all times. Compared with Tang San's Divine Sense, his condition was much better.

Most likely, the Golden Dragon King God Core had restrained most of Tang San's Divine Sense's power. After all, every time Tang Wulin undid a seal, it would make Tang San's Divine Sense feel as if facing a great enemy.

Ice Empress asked in confusion, "Yuhao, why do you want to go before the Sea God's Divine Sense? If he happens to observe the outside world, or learns of your existence from Tang Wulin, won't that cause trouble?"

"Tang Wulin is on the verge of breaking through the seal, so that wisp of Divine Sense won't dare divide its attention. Besides, with the trump cards Old Yi and I have prepared, nothing will happen to me. As for the purpose..."

Huo Yuhao asked in return, "Ice Empress, who do you think is the greater threat, me or the Silver Dragon King? And for me, between the Silver Dragon King and Tang San's Divine Sense, who is more dangerous?"

"Of course it's the Silver Dragon King in both cases. She's in better condition than anyone else. If she's dissatisfied with the current situation and goes to extremes, the Spirit Pagoda might be destroyed because of her."

At this point, Ice Empress frowned. "You want to expose the Silver Dragon King's existence in front of Tang San's Divine Sense?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. "Exactly. Even if the Silver Dragon King hadn't come to Eastsea, I would still have taken advantage of the fact that this wisp of Divine Sense isn't much of a threat right now to let her show her face in front of Tang San's Divine Sense."

Shielding himself with the Silver Dragon King and letting her draw attention, while at the same time using Tang San and the Plane Master's existence to restrain the Silver Dragon King, preventing Gu Yuena from flipping the board outright—this was an idea he had formed the moment he learned Gu Yuena was in the Spirit Pagoda.

In this life, he could not possibly hide away and cultivate as he had in his previous life. If Tang San's Divine Sense underwent some change because he had not gone to the Divine Realm and gained the ability to observe the outside world, the other party would sooner or later learn of his existence. Rather than passively wait for that moment, he might as well take the initiative and keep the risk to a minimum.

"Besides, now that she's come on her own initiative, it's even more necessary to make a trip to Eastsea Academy."

Huo Yuhao smiled. "If that one really is conscious, and I appear before him together with the Silver Dragon King, then based on my understanding of him, he'll probably overthink things."

Without Huo Yuhao needing to say more, Ice Empress and Tian Meng could both imagine that scene.

Huo Yuhao had gotten mixed up with the Silver Dragon King, and the former was not yet a Deity, so he had clearly been recruited by the latter. Perhaps in Tang San's eyes, even the Spirit Pagoda had been built by Huo Yuhao at the Silver Dragon King's behest, all to help Soul Beasts preserve their foundation so they could rule the world ten thousand years later!

But when they thought about how, in the Silver Dragon King's eyes, Huo Yuhao was a reincarnated Deity... the two of them could barely keep it together.
