Heading to Devil Island (4,000 words)

Lan Fozi took a deep breath and obediently nodded.

Although Huo Yuhao being the Fire God doesn't quite match her previous guesses, the fact that he's been certified by True God makes it undeniable.

In order to rescue her mother, she would naturally work even harder.

Go for it, Lan Fozi! For your mother's sake, pledge your loyalty to Lord Huo Yuhao!

"My lord, the Holy Spirit Cult is currently very interested in the Fallen Angel Martial Soul," Lan Fozi brought up another important matter, "They want information about Yehui."

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly. "I'll reveal it to you little by little later. Just convey this information as I instruct. Is there anything else?"

"The Holy Spirit Cult wants to use me to establish a new intelligence network—"

Lan Fozi sold out the Holy Spirit Cult completely, and only left after a long while.

Only then did Snow Empress quietly appear beside Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, did you inform the Holy Spirit Cult about Yehui's whereabouts in order to buy time?"

For them, more time is always better, and having the Demon Plane to keep the Holy Spirit Cult's energy occupied can buy them more time.

After all, in the eyes of the Holy Spirit Cult, there are only two living Fallen Angel Martial Soul possessors. Whether it's Yuanen growing to the level of Titled Douluo or finding Yehui, the Holy Spirit Cult needs time.

"Since they are interested in this Martial Soul, we should naturally make use of it. One way is to buy time and postpone the final battle as much as possible."

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Secondly, the complete elimination of the Possession Demon within the Federation was definitely outside the Holy Spirit Cult's plan. If they feel their strength is insufficient because of this, they might seek other assistance or do something even more outrageous. Rather than that, why don't we offer them a seemingly tempting but actually controllable option!"

Even Huo Yuhao himself wouldn't dare say he fully understands the current Douluo Continent.

Not to mention the distant places, Devil Island, which he is about to visit, the Abyss of the Deep Sea, and the Blood Sea Trench, which he has been to before, are all among the so-called Six Great Forbidden Lands.

Devil Island and Blood Sea Trench are places that existed in the original novel. The former was caused by the power of Life and Destruction Divine Power falling on the Douluo Continent, while the latter seems to have no connection with gods in the original work. The Abyss of the Deep Sea was created by the Sea God Divine Power. What about the other three forbidden lands? What is the situation there? Are they related to gods? Are there any Divine Consciousness within them?

Although it might seem like an overreaction, Huo Yuhao felt it was unlikely that only the God of God of Slaughter had managed to reach the Douluo Continent.

After all, the Divine Tool -Soul Capture Tablet, a divine artifact of the Qian Gu family in the original novel, contained a wisp of the remnant soul of the God of Sin. Now, with so many more divine Divine Tool in the Douluo Continent, it's illogical that none of the corresponding divine Divine Consciousness have descended. It's impossible that those Divine Consciousness are just inactive, learning the God of Sin's methods and hiding within the Divine Tool, right? And if they weren't hidden within Divine Tool, where are they?

In Huo Yuhao's view, these unknowns were all variables and risks.

Although he didn't feel he could control everything, since he had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to guide the Holy Spirit Cult toward the known.

The original novel didn't explain the situation inside the Demon Plane clearly, but Huo Yuhao knew how to sever the connection between the Demon Plane and Douluo Continent, and he could do it. Therefore, it wasn't very risky to have the Holy Spirit Cult focus its attention on the Demon Plane.

Not to mention—all the owners of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul are in the Federation, so they hold the reins!

Snow Empress looked at Huo Yuhao with her bright eyes and smiled, "Ten Thousand Years Ago ago, you probably never imagined that a simple explanation would develop like this, did you?"

Ten Thousand Years Ago, Huo Yuhao told her to be wary of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul, as this bloodline had a potential connection with a plane that wanted to invade Douluo. Anyone who awakened this Martial Soul must pay attention to its movements.

If the time is approaching Ten Thousand Years, we can win over those who have awakened this Martial Soul and take them to the Extreme North Spirit Pagoda. We can then use the methods left there to restrict their use of the Ninth Soul Skill, and once Huo Yuhao returns, we can plan for the Demon Plane.

This was one of the few times Huo Yuhao had asked Snow Empress to do something over the years, and the information revealed in it once made Snow Empress suspect that Huo Yuhao might have awakened a precognitive ability.

Coming to his senses, Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Ten Thousand Years Ago, I only hoped that there would be Fallen Angel Martial Soul possessor inside the Spirit Pagoda, making it easier to plot against the Demon Plane. I never intended to use it to scheme against the Holy Spirit Cult. It was just a coincidence. But speaking of this—you can be confused sometimes, can you?"

If he hadn't discussed the plan to attack the Demon Plane with Snow Empress earlier, Snow Empress would have almost forgotten about the Fallen Angel Martial Soul holder who was "suppressed" in the Extreme North.

A rare hint of embarrassment appeared on Snow Empress's face, but it quickly turned into a confident and self-assured expression.

"At the time, I was focused on Re-Cultivation, so I left some matters involving Fallen Angel to Xiao Bai, and I wasn't familiar with them enough. In addition, we've been dealing with one thing after another over the years, so it's easy to overlook them if you don't ask."

That's right, the Spirit Pagoda now has more than one Fallen Angel. Besides Yuanen Yehui's mother, there is another one - a Fallen Heaven Douluo, Ye Weiyang, Level 97 Super Douluo, Three-Word Battle Armor Master!

It can only be said that the Demon Plane is truly courting death, as if they're afraid Douluo won't find a way to invade them, so they sent over quite a few Fallen Angel.

Of the two, Ye Weiyang is a legitimate member of the Spirit Pagoda, trained by Huo Yuhao at the behest of the Extreme North Spirit Pagoda. Due to the uncontrollable nature of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul, she is in a semi-secluded state and belongs to the hidden combat force of the Extreme North. Apart from the Extreme North Snow Empress, Xiao Bai, and others who know the inside story, no one else in the Spirit Pagoda knows about her situation.

As for Yuanen Yehui's mother, Yehui, she became a nun later in life. It was Ye Weiyang who knew about her situation and couldn't bear to see her "kind" suffer, so she took the initiative to contact Yehui and eventually brought her back to the Extreme North. The story is very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words.

Huo Yuhao was also surprised when he first learned about these things, not because he was surprised that his arrangement had saved Yuanen Yehui's mother, but because of the somewhat unfamiliar Ye Weiyang.

Even after cultivating to level ninety-seven, the Fallen Angel could maintain a certain level of rationality and not be controlled by his Martial Soul, even after leaving the Extreme North. This willpower and strength were very similar to that of an Evil Spirit Master from the Holy Spirit Cult in the original novel, as remembered by Huo Yuhao.

It's said that those who possess the Fallen Angel Martial Soul lose control of themselves at the Titled Douluo Realm, but there's one exception. In the original Holy Spirit Cult, there's a Fallen Angel Martial Soul user who can not only control himself from opening the Demon Gate but also maintain his rationality in battle. Huo Yuhao always felt that Ye Weiyang was related to this person.

(Note: In the Dragon King's Legend, this character appeared before the Demon Plane. At that time, the Fallen Angel Martial Soul was supposed to have nothing to do with the Demon Plane. After the Demon Plane appeared, this character disappeared. Otherwise, the Holy Spirit Cult would not have let go of this power.)

Is the Holy Spirit Cult's orthodox teachings really being Spirit Pagoda?

How much have they skimmed off the Holy Spirit Cult?

Upon hearing Snow Empress mention those two people, some past thoughts flooded back to Huo Yuhao. He chuckled and shook his head, changing the subject.

"Old Yi wanted to experience life in the Douluo Continent, so I arranged a suitable identity for him. I also asked him to look after Yuanen Yehui to prevent the Holy Spirit Cult from harming her. As for the Fallen Heaven Douluo, now is not the time to deal with the Demon Plane; we should let her remain silent for a while longer. As for Yuanen's mother—"

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then said, "Have Xiao Bai convey my message that I will help her completely resolve the issue of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul. Once she has come to her senses, let her meet with Yuanen."

Using Yehui's identity to set a trap for the Holy Spirit Cult, one must first help them resolve their Martial Soul issue.

Moreover, a mother who has faked her death for so many years should at least see her daughter.

Upon hearing this Snow Empress nodded.

Having Yuhao, this "reincarnation of a god," explain things is the best option at present.

Back then, Yehui had actually contemplated suicide. Even Yun Ming, the number one expert, said he couldn't resolve the connection between the Fallen Angel Martial Soul and the Demon Plane, which drove her to despair. If it weren't for Ye Weiyang, who also possessed the Fallen Angel Martial Soul, intervening to persuade her, Yehui might have already committed suicide.

Even after she went to the Extreme North, without any hope in her heart, she left the Yuanen Family a farewell letter that was almost like a will, which led the Yuanen Family to misunderstand and build her a cenotaph—which shows her state of mind at the time.

However, this despair is actually caused by information asymmetry.

Snow Empress wasn't sure if she could sever the connection between her Martial Soul and the Demon Plane, since she hadn't tried it before, but she was certain that with her strength, she could prevent the Demon Plane from invading!

The information Huo Yuhao left her made her realize that the Demon Plane was far weaker than the Douluo Continent.

The key issue is that most people in the Douluo don't know that the Demon Plane is weaker than the Douluo!

Yun Ming cannot resolve the connection between the two, but in reality, the Limit of the Demon Plane are no match for Yun Ming.

But in Yehui's and the others' eyes, it was a plane. A plane that dared to invade Douluo Continent must be an incredibly powerful and insurmountable existence, and its threat was magnified infinitely. This kind of despair in perception was the last straw that broke Yehui's back.

In reality, he was just a Little Scumbag trying to take advantage of the situation.

Now that Yun Ming has become the first True God of this era, the weight of his words has only increased.

Snow Empress had not communicated the plan with Yehui, this "outsider." Although she corrected Ye Hui's views on the Demon Plane, Yehui dared not go home until his own problems were completely resolved.

Unless someone appears who can make Yehui unconditionally believe in his abilities. Clearly, Huo Yuhao falls into this category.

"The Soul Tool Airplane heading to the Northern Sea has been arranged. Are you ready?"

After finishing discussing one matter, Snow Empress brought up another.

"Actually, there's nothing to prepare." Huo Yuhao shook his head and walked towards the door. "We can leave now."

The God-King of Life and Destruction God King was trying to resist the Space-Time Turbulence; his power was exhausted, and he turned into a seed, not that he died in battle.

The Divine Position and Divine Tool are all in the Divine Realm, and are most likely still in Tang San's hands.

Devil Island is merely Forbidden Land created by the Divine Power of two God King; its main opportunity lies in comprehending the two Laws of Life and Destruction.

However, Huo Yuhao would not underestimate this opportunity.

Judging from Douluo 4, the positions of God of Life and Destruction God Position were once part of the Divine Power.

The God of Destruction wields the Power of Destruction, while the Goddess of Life wields the power of Life and creation—in other words, the Power of Creation. (The fact that the Goddess of Life wields the Life and creation was mentioned in the side stories of the Divine Realm.)

Does it look familiar?

The Golden Dragon King wields the power of Destruction, which is the Destruction Divinity, while the Silver Dragon King possesses the Creation Divinity.

The power wielded by Life and Destruction is the same as that of the two divine Divine Spark, the Dragon God, and is also a power at the level of the Universe Origin, only differing in strength.

The Divine Spark of both the God of Divine Retribution and the Dragon God contains the power to Destruction the very Universe Origin, demonstrating their immense strength.

Huo Yuhao didn't know how the Dragon God comprehended the origin of Destruction before becoming a god (it seems the Dragon God's Creation Divinity was stolen), but no matter how outrageous the opportunities the Dragon God encountered were, compared to that, the power left behind by the God King before his fall couldn't be weak.

Not to mention that the Power of Destruction and Power of Creation of Devil Island are outwardly manifest, and can not only be sensed but even directly absorbed.

Moreover, Destruction and Creation are also a Reincarnation.

For Huo Yuhao, going there would definitely be valuable for his future ascension to godhood.

Without delay, Huo Yuhao bid farewell to Snow Empress, Gu Yuena, and the others, and boarded the Soul Tool Airplane bound for the Northern Sea.

Huo Yuhao didn't plan to bring anyone else. Having recovered to this level, the old demon on Devil Island couldn't do anything to him.

Moreover, Snow Empress has chosen to go all the way down the path of ice. Gu Yuena possesses the Creation Divinity, and if she wants to Destruction Divinity, she still has the option of the Golden Dragon King God Core. Going to Devil Island won't yield much, so it's better not to waste time with her.

Several hours later, at the Northern Sea Legion Base.

Shen Yuncheng had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, he immediately greeted him, "Your Majesty, welcome to the Northern Sea. Where do you wish to go? I have already arranged ships and Soul Tool Airplane, ready to set sail at any time."

"I'm sorry to bother you."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, accepting the Northern Sea Legion commander's offer. "I plan to go to Devil Island. There's Anti-Air Domain there; I can take a soul-guided ship. Thank you for your help."

With Shrek destroyed and the Dove Faction now completely suppressed by the Hawk Faction, it's only natural for the Shen Family to want to stabilize the situation and even seek their future by befriending him. Huo Yuhao doesn't intend to refuse this goodwill.

A force cannot be too extreme; even the Dove Faction have their place. He doesn't want the Federation to one day become a complete "war machine."

Shen Yuncheng initially happy that Huo Yuhao had accepted his friendship, but he was somewhat surprised when he heard where Huo Yuhao planned to go.

However, Shen Yuncheng did not ask rashly, but instead led Huo Yuhao in the direction of the ship.

Upon arriving at the port, Huo Yuhao was taken to a small soul-guided ship, about ten meters long, with a sleek, silver-gray exterior and sharp lines.

There were several other people on the ship, responsible for operating it. Huo Yuhao recognized some of them.

Shen Yue, Shen Xing.

This was clearly arranged by Shen Yuncheng.

The former is the future pillar of the Shen Family, and the latter knows Huo Yuhao. Shen Yuncheng arranged for them to travel together, and his intention was self-evident: to show goodwill to Huo Yuhao and demonstrate the sincerity and importance of the Shen Family, and also to give the most outstanding young generation of the family the opportunity to work with the "reincarnation of a god" and forge some kinship.

Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, Shen Yue immediately stepped forward and saluted at a standard military posture, her tone both capable and respectful. "Your Excellency Huo Yuhao, I am Shen Yue from the Northern Sea Legion, ordered to provide full assistance and escort for your mission."

Shen Xing followed suit and bowed, but compared to her sister's composure, she was extremely nervous.

In her eyes before, Huo Yuhao was just Xu Xiaoyan's classmate, a genius of the Spirit Pagoda, someone she could chat with for a few minutes.

But now Huo Yuhao is one of the Four Great Spirit Envoys of the Spirit Pagoda, and is also a so-called "reincarnation of a god". The change in identity left Shen Xing at a loss, not knowing what to do with her hands and feet. She could only try to imitate her sister's composure, but she could not hide the restraint and a trace of awe in her eyes.

Their social status created a sad barrier between them.

Huo Yuhao nodded to Shen Yue, then looked at Shen Xing with a gentle smile, "Shen Xing, it's been a long time. What brings you to the Northern Sea Legion?"

Shen Xing chuckled dryly, "I got this internship through family connections, and I plan to work for the Northern Sea Legion in the future."

Huo Yuhao understood. Seeing that she was as nervous as if she had been called on in class, he let her off the hook and turned to Shen Yue, saying, "Let's set sail. Destination: Devil Island."

There's no need to steal the Soul Tool Airplane to get to Devil Island from the Spirit Pagoda; just smooth things over. I hope Little Wulin, Xie Xie, and the others will keep this in mind.
