Nothing New from the Holy Spirit Cult

With the unanimous approval, Huo Yuhao, who had obtained two Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell, nodded secretly. Then, he dropped another bombshell, causing everyone's emotions, which had just calmed down, to surge up again.

"Speaking of Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell, one thing must be mentioned: the Eternal Heaven Kingdom is now in my hands."

Now that our identities have been revealed, it's best to also be frank about the Eternal Heaven Kingdom.

No secrets stay hidden forever, especially since we'll be using Eternal Heaven Kingdom in the future. It's best to be honest with the Federation now.

After all, now is the best time.

The moment Huo Yuhao uttered those words, the conference room fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone felt that the impact of this single day was greater than the total impact of their entire previous lives.

"Your Spirit Ice Crown —what did you say?" The Speaker stood up abruptly, his voice trembling slightly, "The Eternal Heaven Kingdom —is in your hands?"

Wasn't the Eternal Heaven Kingdom stolen by the Holy Spirit Cult? When did it fall into Huo Yuhao's hands?

They had mentally prepared themselves for the Holy Spirit Cult to use this "nuclear weapon" to bomb the Federation, but it turns out their worries were unfounded?

"That's right. I knew in advance that the Eternal Heaven Kingdom was the target of the Holy Spirit Cult, but I didn't know when they would make their move, so I made some preparations just in case."

Huo Yuhao said in a calm tone, half-jokingly, "The Eternal Heaven Kingdom that the Holy Spirit Cult ultimately took away was a fake."

Yu Guanzhi, Zhang Huanyun, and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

Does this mean that the Eternal Heaven Kingdom was switched by Spirit Ice Douluo before it was taken over by the Holy Spirit Cult?

But when? This person before me had never been to the War God Temple, and he was still on the Star Luo Continent when the Holy Spirit Cult made its move. He didn't have much of a relationship with the powerhouses of the War God Temple before. Who helped him switch the Eternal Heaven Kingdom?

Don't tell them that the Heaven Blessed Douluo, who was clearly controlled by Possession Demon, was actually an ally.

Wang Hongchen seemed to recall something, "Her Spirit Ice Crown was very interested in the Fire Host Clan when she was in the Ming De Hall. She conducted research related to the Fire Host Clan and even met with the Fire Host Clan chief."

"At the time, I didn't think much of it, but now that I think about it, you made contact with the Fire Host Clan Chief around that time and made plans for the Holy Spirit Cult to steal the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, right?"

This wasn't just a random guess. Before the Eternal Heaven Kingdom was stolen, the only people who had come into contact with it besides the controlled Fire Host Clan Heaven Blessed Douluo were Skyfire, the patriarch of the Fire Li Clan. In fact, Skyfire entered the Eighteenth Level of Hell even earlier than the Heaven Blessed Douluo.

Skyfire did indeed meet Huo Yuhao at the Ming De Hall.

Therefore, there is only one conclusion— the Skyfire is Huo Yuhao's backup plan!

Huo Yuhao nodded. "I do have a relationship with Clan Chief Skyfire."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao did not deny it, the others also realized what was going on.

The Fire Host Clan resides in the Seventeenth Level of Hell, and to reach the eighteenth level, one must pass through there. Skyfire is indeed the best backup option!

For a moment, many people's gazes toward Huo Yuhao changed, and Na Nali even secretly gasped.

They only knew that this senior from the Douluo Continent had outstanding achievements and unparalleled strength, but now they realized that he was also a first-rate figure in planning and strategy.

The Holy Spirit Cult had been plotting for years, painstakingly infiltrating the Federation and stealing the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, believing their scheme to be flawless. Little did they know, from beginning to end, they were merely playing on Huo Yuhao's chessboard. They had stolen a counterfeit; the moment they thought they had succeeded, they had already lost.

Na Nali swallowed hard, only one thought remaining in her mind: thank goodness this person is one of us. If it were an enemy—she dared not think further.

The speaker remained silent for a long time before calming down and finally letting out a bitter laugh, "Your Spirit Ice Crown, you planned this all along."

"Not really, it was just a precautionary measure. After all, I'm not omniscient or omnipotent, and I didn't know beforehand that a Possession Demon had infiltrated the Douluo Continent and caused such a huge disturbance."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, paused, and continued, "As the guardian of the Seventeenth Level of Hell in the War God Temple Skyfire, Chief Tianhuo has been dutiful and dutiful. His agreement with me was only to resort to a desperate measure—a switcheroo—in case of unforeseen circumstances, entrusting the Eternal Heaven Kingdom to my care. The primary responsibility lies with me, and I hope the Federation will not blame the Fire Host Clan for this."

The Speaker quickly waved his hand. "Your Majesty, you flatter me. The Fire Host Clan has guarded the War God Temple for generations. If it weren't for Chief Skyfire's cooperation with you, the Holy Spirit Cult would probably have already obtained the Eternal Heaven Kingdom. He has made a great contribution, and the Federation is too grateful to blame him."

This was merely a stopgap measure. It was fortunate enough that the Eternal Heaven Kingdom could be preserved and prevented from becoming a tool for the Holy Spirit Cult to attack the Federation. There was nothing to criticize about it.

If we really have to assign blame, it's the Federation's own responsibility for failing to safeguard the Eternal Heaven Kingdom.

Not to mention, the theft of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom was a disgrace to their Federation, and it was shameful enough that even their ancestor, Spirit Ice Douluo, had to clean up the mess.

Now things are better. Although the plan to steal the sky and change the sun was initiated by Spirit Ice Douluo, the executor was ultimately a member of the War God Temple, which can be considered as saving face for the Federation.

How dare they hold them accountable for this?

It's better to just let it go.

The speaker thought to himself, then looked at Huo Yuhao, feeling a surge of emotion.

Taking responsibility at this time shows that Spirit Ice Douluo is a loyal and righteous person. It's just unclear what his relationship with the Skyfire Clan Chief is.

"Your Spirit Ice Crown, please rest assured, the Fire Host Clan has done nothing wrong. The Federation will certainly reward them after this matter."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and said no more.

The matter concerning the Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell has come to an end.

After a moment of silence, everyone began to discuss the details of the plan for the Abyss Plane.

Although the strategy of luring the enemy into a trap and eliminating them completely has been decided, how to execute it is a problem.

"Whether the Abyssal Sage King enters the Douluo Plane is no longer in our hands; it basically depends entirely on the Holy Spirit Cult's actions. To turn the tables, we can only start from other angles."

Zhang Huanyun pondered for a moment, then looked at Huo Yuhao.

"Your Spirit Ice Crown, with the Abyssal Sage King's immense power and the Holy Spirit Cult acting as an inside agent, you should be able to open dimensional portals in other parts of the Douluo Plane, right?"

He and the Federation personnel present still believed that Huo Yuhao was a reincarnation of a god.

Is there a conflict between Huo Yuhao being the Spirit Ice Douluo and Huo Yuhao being a reincarnation of a god?

There's no contradiction at all. In fact, it would be more reasonable to say that Spirit Ice Douluo is a reincarnation of a god.

Only Spirit Ice Douluo is a god can it explain why he was able to live for over Ten Thousand Years and return now in Re-Cultivation form. And only if Huo Yuhao is a god can it explain why he knows so many God Rank secrets.

It's safe to say that if someone were to claim that Spirit Ice Douluo wasn't a god, no one would believe them.

For knowledge involving God Rank, one should naturally consult this professional.

Huo Yuhao did not correct this.

After all, given the current situation, such a misunderstanding is more advantageous.

He'll become a god sooner or later anyway.

You get on the train first and buy the ticket later.

"You should know about the Demon Plane. That dimension is far weaker than the Douluo Plane. Yet they still have ways to continuously open dimensional portals. Given the Abyss Plane's superior strength, opening other portals is absolutely possible, but it would come at a price. So don't harbor any illusions."

Huo Yuhao's words caused a stir among the crowd, especially the Speaker and Yu Guanzhi.

Because they thought of the missing Yehui.

No one knows what will happen if the Fallen Angel Martial Soul holder falls into the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult. The Holy Spirit Cult will not ally with the Demon Plane. (Original author Ye Weiyang: Actually, it might not happen. I'm just a minor character.)

Huo Yuhao noticed this, but did not explain the meaning of the corresponding plan.

After Old Yi goes to work as a spy for the Holy Spirit Cult, the fewer people who know about Yehui, the better.

Always keep something in reserve.

"But just like the Abyss Passage over the Endless Mountain Range, the more powerful the Abyss Creatures, the heavier the dimensional suppression it suffers, and the more difficult it is to descend through the dimensional passage, requiring more and greater energy to support the passage."

Huo Yuhao paused at this point.

This characteristic inexplicably reminds me of Tianyuan.

"With the strength of the Abyssal Sage King, even with the help of the God of Slaughter and the Holy Spirit Cult, it would be very difficult for him to overcome the plane rejection of the Douluo Plane and enter the Douluo Plane." Huo Yuhao intentionally guided the conversation with these words.

"In other words, while the Holy Spirit Cult and the Abyss Plane can certainly open other Abyss Passage, opening new passages, deploying sufficient combat power, and even bringing the Abyssal Sage King to the Douluo Plane will all come at a considerable cost?"

Zhang Huanyun pondered, "The Holy Spirit Cult must have made considerable preparations for this. If we disrupt Holy Spirit Cult preparations, could we force them to wage war in the Abyss Passage of the Endless Mountain Range? Could we then lure them into a trap and pit them against the Abyssal Sage King there?"

If possible, we can gain some initiative.

Fighting on one's own home turf is always better than the enemy opening a new route in a distant land and amassing a large army for a full-scale war.

"Theoretically feasible. If the Holy Spirit Cult's preparations fail, they might instead attempt to destroy the Abyss seal of the Endless Mountain Range, potentially leading to a fight to the death between us."

Yu Guanzhi nodded, "But we must figure out what the Holy Spirit Cult's preparations are."

"They are the Holy Spirit Cult, Evil Spirit Master." Ha Luosa, who had been silent until now, spoke indifferently, "What preparations could they possibly have made?"

It's nothing more than using evil methods that exploit Life and soul.

There's no need to discuss this at all; just think about the Holy Spirit Cult's practices and you can imagine what kind of preparations they've made.

As the Dark Department Head, Ha Luosa was all too familiar with the methods of Evil Spirit Master.

Throughout the Douluo Calendar, whenever Evil Spirit Master start to make big moves, they are basically associated with things like blood sacrifice and the dead, forming a path dependency.

For the Holy Spirit Cult, things like blood and living souls are the cheapest resources.

If you see the Holy Spirit Cult trying to make a big splash, think about it from this angle first; you can't go wrong.

Could it be that those mentally unstable Evil Spirit Master have some kind of ingenious plan?

Even if such resources did exist, when it comes to resources, the Holy Spirit Cult would definitely shift its focus to Life and soul; it's impossible for them to go looking for rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Upon hearing this, Yu Guanzhi was speechless and unable to refute it.

Evil Spirit Master – that's how it is.

The gameplay is nothing new.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

It can only be said that the method of using Evil Spirit Master to deal with Evil Spirit Master is far too authoritative.

Without him needing to say more, Ha Luosa grasped the key point.

The Blood River God-Slaying Grand Array is based on living souls and blood, and consists entirely of the skills that Evil Spirit Master excel at.

It's safe to say that this was something the Abyssal Sage King tailored specifically for the Holy Spirit Cult.

"If that's the case, then the Holy Spirit Cult's preparations for opening the Abyss Passage are probably made by the residents of Dou Ling and Star Luo Empire."

This should be the main reason why the Holy Spirit Cult dominates Dou Ling and Star Luo Empire. Dou Ling has a population of around 26 million, while Star Luo Empire's population is three times that of Dou Ling. If such a large population were to undergo blood sacrifice using evil methods, the power contained within would be—"

Zhang Huanyun stopped halfway through her sentence, her face extremely gloomy.

Even if that person wasn't a resident of the Douluo Federation, he couldn't possibly ignore it.

Wang Hongchen's face was also grim. He took a deep breath and explained meticulously, "The Star Luo Empire military force is stronger than the Dou Ling force, and it also has Divine Realm Douluo, Limit existence. The probability of the Holy Spirit Cult conducting bloody sacrifices there is low, and it's easy for them to clash with the Star Luo Empire. It's better to keep the Star Luo Empire around to cause us some trouble."

"In comparison, the Dou Ling Empire is very weak and has no ability to resist the Holy Spirit Cult. It is highly likely that it will be used as a pawn to open the Abyss Passage —if that God of Slaughter doesn't care about his followers."

Dou Ling Continent has no Limit. If a war with them really starts, Douluo Continent only needs to send a mothership battle group and some top experts to resolve the battle in a very short time.

With such national strength, even if the Holy Spirit Cult did something that would incur divine and popular wrath, the Dou Ling Empire would have no power to resist.

"Then we need to pay close attention to Dou Ling ----"

Rong Tianling listened silently, clenching his fists, forcing himself to focus, and joined the meeting, offering various opinions.

Watching this scene, Gu Yuena transmitted her voice to Huo Yuhao beside her, "Yuhao, do you also agree to disrupt the Holy Spirit Cult's original plan and send them to the Endless Mountain Range to break the seal there?"

Huo Yuhao sighed, "The Holy Spirit Cult's original plan required the slaughter of millions to complete."

The sacrifice required to simply open the Abyss Passage might not be that many, but the Blood River God-Slaying Grand Array requires the sacrifice of tens of millions of souls.

In the original novel, the Holy Spirit Cult dropped two Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell on Shrek City, one of their purposes being to obtain the souls of the millions of humans in Shrek City.

Since the Holy Spirit Cult failed to wreak havoc on the Douluo Continent, they will definitely shift their focus to the Star Luo Empire and Dou Ling.

Huo Yuhao still wanted to save them if he could; he couldn't bring himself to ignore it.

In any case, all he needs is for the Abyssal Sage King to descend upon the Douluo Continent, but that doesn't mean the Blood River God-Slaying Grand Array has to be completed.

For the Abyssal Sage King, the purpose of establishing the Blood River God-Slaying Grand Array was merely to provide him with a divine vessel of God Rank- level descent, and there were plenty of ways to solve that.

After all, there are quite a few bodies in the Douluo Plane that can serve as vessels for the Abyssal Sage King's divine descent.

Moreover, he had promised Lan Fozi to save her mother.

Then it's even less likely that they would sit idly by and watch the Blood River God-Slaying Grand Array be completed, letting the Demon Empress fall into the trap.

Upon hearing that it would require millions of people to complete the plan, Gu Yuena understood Huo Yuhao's intentions and stopped asking questions.

The meeting lasted for several hours, and finally finalized a general strategic plan and details regarding the Abyss and the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, some things are guesses obtained through Huo Yuhao's information and guidance. Even if everyone thinks they are highly likely, they cannot be guaranteed to be absolutely correct, so they still need to be verified.

However, everyone felt that they had gained a lot from this meeting.

The chronic problem that has plagued the Douluo Plane six thousand years may finally have a solution.
