The aftermath of their identities (four thousand words)

What are you talking about?

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena entered the private room. The former looked speechless, while the latter raised an eyebrow with a playful smile.

"Cough cough!"

Xie Xie nearly choked on his water and quickly sat up straight. "Nothing, nothing! We were just—uh, discussing the diversity of folk literature!"

Gu Yuena laughed and said, "Alright, no need to hide it anymore. We heard everything outside. Tell me, what happened?"

"Uh--" Xie Xie scratched his head, exchanged glances with the others, and honestly began to explain.

After Xie Xie finished recounting what had happened, and because the others knew Zhao Yao, an unusual celebrity within the Spirit Pagoda, who casually mentioned it, Huo Yuhao instantly understood the whole story and looked up at the heavens speechlessly.

Zhao Yao, you are truly a talented person, and you and Er Ming are equally brilliant!

"No, speaking of couples—"

After explaining what had happened, Xie Xie looked at Huo Yuhao, then at Gu Yuena, his eyes filled with a strange expression.

"Could it be that Sister Na is the Spirit Ice Douluo?"

It is known that Spirit Ice Douluo and Boss Yuhao are husband and wife, and Boss Yuhao and Sister Na are definitely a couple.

What does this mean? It means that Sister Na is the Spirit Ice Douluo, the ancestor of their Spirit Pagoda!

Gu Yuena rolled her eyes. "You actually believe that? Don't listen to these unfounded guesses anymore."

Listen to less Unofficial History, lest you go down the path of becoming a comedian and never turn back.

"Okay."

Xie Xie had always thought this guess was unreliable, so he nodded as heeded the advice. Then, he looked at the two of them with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

The other people had similar expressions.

The sudden transformation of two companions from peers with astonishing potential into legendary, unattainable reincarnations of gods is a bewildering leap in status, even if it's just a rumor and hasn't been confirmed by the individuals themselves.

The private room fell silent for a moment, with only the faint sounds of the bustling city outside the window.

Finally, Tang Wulin took a deep breath and asked first, "Are you... truly the legendary reincarnations of gods?"

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance and a look.

The question has finally come to light.

Huo Yuhao didn't directly answer "yes" or "no," but instead asked, "Does it really matter whether someone is a reincarnation of a god?"

"Of course it's important!"

Xie Xie took a breath, composed his complicated expression, and said with shining eyes, "If Boss Yuhao and you guys are reincarnations of gods, then we're the gods' best friends in this life! Hehe, how prestigious will that be! Once this reputation is established, who would dare not give us face?"

"Moreover, you are gods. In the future, when you regain your divine status, you can guide us and give us a position among the gods."

Xie Xie's words immediately broke the somewhat dull atmosphere. The awkwardness and helplessness that might have been caused by the difference in their status were completely disrupted by his half-joking and half-shameless imagination.

"You think you can become a god? Dream on."

Xu Xiaoyan chuckled, stood up, and jogged over to Gu Yuena's side.

"Of course I'm the one who'll become a god! Na'er will definitely take me with her, right?"

"Become a god? That's possible."

Gu Yuena smiled and pinched Xu Xiaoyan's cheek, "As long as you strive to reach the Limit, I will help you become a god."

"? Limit?"

Xu Xiaoyan immediately made a bitter face, "That's too difficult."

Seeing Xu Xiaoyan's crestfallen face, a burst of good-natured laughter immediately filled the private room.

The last trace of solemnity brought about by the topic of "gods" completely vanished at this moment.

As long as Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena remain friends, that's enough.

Relaxed, Tang Wulin looked at Huo Yuhao curiously, "Yuhao, what is the Divine Realm like?"

Seeing everyone's curious gazes, Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and said, "Nothing special. The Divine Realm God Realm Committee, headed by the Five Great God Kings— "

Huo Yuhao gave a general overview of the basic information he knew about the Divine Realm. After listening, the curiosity on the faces of the group of people who were initially very curious disappeared considerably, as they felt that the Divine Realm was not quite what they had imagined.

"The Divine Realm doesn't seem to be anything special."

Xie Xie rested his chin on his hand and clicked his tongue. "Just like the Human World."

Huo Yuhao: "Gods are just stronger people in the end; there's no real difference."

Xie Xie glanced at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, thinking that the two were the best proof, accepted this statement, and changed the subject.

"I heard that you fought with True God belonging to the Sea God at the Shrek Academy, boss. Why was that? Was it because they wanted to protect Shrek, or do you have a grudge against them?"

"Yes, both." Huo Yuhao poured himself a glass of water and said calmly, "They wanted to cover the Shrek Academy teachers and students' evacuation, so naturally I had to stop them. As for my grudge with them—strictly speaking, it's a grudge between me and the Sea God; we both blocked each other's path."

Huo Yuhao stopped there, not saying much, and didn't mention anything about the Golden Tree or Old Yi.

"A grudge against the Sea God?" Tang Wulin had seen similar comments online, but he was still somewhat surprised to hear the person in question say this. However, he immediately asserted, "The Sea God must be wrong!"

Yuhao and the Sea God are at odds, then it must be the Sea God's fault!

Even though Yuhao described the Sea God as the God King of the Divine Realm, he firmly believed it. Who says the God King is always right?

Huo Yuhao:

Wulin, you are so filial. It wasn't for nothing that we loved you so much.

"Sea God Tang San —According to historical records, he was a hero who ended the era of the Spirit Hall Ten Thousand Years Ago, bringing peace to the continent, establishing the Tang Sect, and leading Shrek Academy to glory. However, any record is inevitably limited by its own perspective and the era in which it was written."

Zhang Yangzi pondered, "What kind of person is he really?"

Judging from the fact that the True God now under the Sea God saved Shrek Academy, which betrayed the Federation, and the Sea God's inexplicable divine descent ten Ten Thousand Years Ago, one can imagine the other party's style.

"Boss, you must have met the Sea God in the Divine Realm, right? What is he like in the eyes of the Divine Realm?"

"The Divine Realm's view—" Huo Yuhao inexplicably thought of four words, and said with a strange expression, "The God of Wisdom?"

This answer surprised everyone.

Gu Yuena also subconsciously looked at Huo Yuhao.

She felt that on Yuhao's side, wisdom had become a derogatory term. So how did they view her wisdom as the Dragon God?

"The God of Wisdom?" Xie Xie repeated, scratching his head. "This—sounds like praising his intelligence? No, boss, your tone is off."

Zhang Yangzi didn't rush to speak. He and Wang Jinxi searched for historical information online, and then remained silent for a moment.

He revealed his identity as Tang Hao's son Spirit Master Competition, brought Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to participate in the competition at the Spirit Hall, and ultimately left safely, stealing supplies...

Well, to them, the Sea God's enemies' experiences were somewhat subtle. They couldn't discern their wisdom, but they could see their profound luck. It just gave them a feeling of "I could do that too." However, they couldn't match the Sea God's ruthlessness in slaughtering entire cities.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall, as the enemy of the Sea God, is clearly extremely powerful, yet their performance was far too weak.

No wonder the teachers made them use the Spirit Hall as a negative example— the Angel God Qian Renxue, the Spirit Hall Holy Daughter Hu Liena, and the Spirit Hall Pope Bibi Dong are all incredibly "wise."

"Cough cough--"

Huo Yuhao coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention. "That was just a subconscious thought of mine, don't overthink it. Opinions about the Sea God within the Divine Realm can be roughly divided into two factions. One faction is very convinced of the Sea God's rule, while the other is very hostile towards him."

As for neutrality? The Seven Elements were ostensibly neutral, but they still ended up helping Tang San.

Those who trusted him did so partly because of his power and partly because of his control over the Divine Realm.

Huo Yuhao's voice was calm, offering a relatively objective assessment without his own emotions. "Those who oppose him, besides ideological differences, are mostly dissatisfied with him—for frequently skirting the rules, even using 'special circumstances' as an excuse to break the ironclad laws set by the Divine Realm itself, especially his interference in matters of the lower realm."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood.

It turns out that the ironclad rules of the Divine Realm explicitly prohibit arbitrary interference in the lower realms—the Sea God not only dispatched subordinate True God to descend upon Douluo, but even personally descended Ten Thousand Years Ago. Such actions indeed seriously transgressed the rules of the Divine Realm.

"Just listen to these things, don't believe everything you hear. You'll likely encounter things related to the Sea God in the future, so think it through carefully and consider what kind of person he is. I won't elaborate on my opinion."

As Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Tang Wulin felt as if the other person had glanced at him, but when he looked over, he found that Huo Yuhao had already looked away.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao seemed unwilling to discuss these matters further, Gu Yuena opportunely took over the conversation, lightly changing the subject. "Alright, we're here for a get-together today, why keep talking about these things?"

"Right, right, right!" Xie Xie immediately realized and perked up again, starting to order food. "Boss, you've all become Spirit Envoy, today we have to make you bleed!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin temporarily set aside his questions, including those concerning the Golden Dragon King God Core, and prepared to order food—a lavish meal. There would be plenty of time later; for now, filling his stomach and enjoying this rare moment of relaxation was more important.

After the battle at Shrek, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena naturally ousted the original two Spirit Envoy and were promoted from candidates to official Spirit Envoy. Not only did their status soar, but their authority and resource allocation also increased significantly. Even disregarding their status as reincarnations of gods, they were still highly sought-after new talents within the Spirit Pagoda.

As for whether giving the position of reincarnation of two gods is a bit too low -- the Spirit Transmission Envoy is already an existence of the same level as the Eighteen Heavenly Pillar Tower Master, and his status is not low. Above him are only the Tower Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower and the three Deputy Tower Masters.

Among them, Di Tian and Snow Empress are listed as Deputy Pagoda Master, but that was promised to them by Huo Yuhao back then, to ensure the interests of the Soul Beast and to maintain a balance. This was to prevent a situation like the Spirit Pagoda, where humans became powerful and kicked out the Soul Beast to go it alone.

These two positions are unchangeable within the Spirit Pagoda, leaving only the current Qian Gu Pagoda Master and Deputy Pagoda Master Leng. However, it is clear that neither of them will immediately step down and hand over their positions to Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.

Even now, the two of them are still somewhat bewildered: how did Huo Yuhao (Gu Yuena) suddenly become a reincarnated god?

At the Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu sat in her office, her eyes vacant, seemingly lost in thought.

She was pondering a very important question—why had the "daughter" she had raised for over a decade become a reincarnation of a goddess?

Because of this issue, she didn't even bother with Yun Ming's trial. Since he wasn't dead, it didn't matter.

"My Na'er is older than me. I'm even teaching an Elemental God how to use the elements—"

Shocking! A Super Douluo is actually teaching a god—this could easily be listed as one of the top ten most absurd events of the year in the Douluo Continent.

Just thinking about these things made Heavenly Phoenix Douluo feel that his worldview had been shocked like never before, and he felt a bit dumbfounded and embarrassed—an embarrassment that went deep into his bones.

Looking back now, was Gu Yuena silently sighing, or perhaps struggling to suppress her laughter?

"What kind of mess is this?"

Leng Yaozhu rubbed her forehead, only feeling a little better after she took out her Soul Tool Communicator and saw the message on it.

A short message appeared on the Soul Tool Communicator screen, from "Na'er":

[Teacher Leng, thank you for your continued guidance. No matter what happened in the past, you will always be an important teacher to me. I will explain the matter of my identity to you in detail later. Also, I ordered some calming tea from that old-established shop on East Street for you; please remember to pick it up.]

Leng Yaozhu looked at the message and read it several times, dispelling the "sense of distance" and "sense of being deceived" that made her most uneasy.

Since the other party acknowledges her as their teacher, it can't be considered deception; at most, they've simply concealed more information.

Compared to the more emotionally sensitive Leng Yaozhu, the reactions of those who had closer relationships with Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, such as Carefree Douluo, Zhen Hua, and Muyue, after their initial shock upon learning of these events were strikingly similar.

When the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua first saw the overwhelming news about "reincarnation of a god" on his Communicator, he was also taken aback. However, after seeing the greetings from Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao, he burst into laughter.

"That girl, it turns out she not only has an extraordinary talent for forging, but her background is also incredibly extraordinary. A reincarnation of a god, tsk tsk, I actually taught a god forging!"

"And that kid, no wonder his understanding of metals and energy is so bizarre, now I know the root of it."

He not only did not feel alienated, but also felt a sense of pride and honor.

And Muyue beside him was no less beaming, with a wide smile on his face.

Having taken in a reincarnated deity into the Body Sect, and judging from Huo Yuhao's greetings, the other party still acknowledges this identity, the future of their Body Sect is predictable.

The Body Sect will once again usher in glory!

As for Hua Yichen, since he didn't actually teach Huo Yuhao much, he naturally wouldn't be as embarrassed as Leng Yaozhu. Regarding this matter—he only had one thing to say: one look and he knew that this was the candidate he had chosen for the Spirit Pagoda; this was his vision!

Who can choose a god who remembers their roots and knows how to repay kindness to be reincarnated as the next successor of the Spirit Pagoda?

Only him!

Seeing Hua Yichen's still beaming face, Luo Yanglu's eyelids twitched, and he sighed helplessly.

"Today is the day of the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters' meeting. Yuhao and the others are now Spirit Envoy and will be attending. Don't even think about showing off these things and embarrassing our East Sea Spirit Pagoda."
