Spirit Ice Douluo... Was a Man with Warmth

As the formal meeting came to a close, the relaxed crowd couldn't help but turn their gazes to Huo Yuhao, their hearts filled with emotion.

If it weren't for the return of this legendary figure from Ten Thousand Years Ago, who provided much assistance and information, they would never have been able to formulate a strategy so quickly, let alone have the confidence to face the Abyssal Sage King.

The Federation Speaker solemnly said, "Your Spirit Ice Crown, thank you very much for your help."

"There's no need for that."

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, "The safety of the continent is my duty."

As the two began to talk, some people started to have their own ideas.

We were in a meeting just now, and our minds were mainly focused on those important matters. Now that things have settled down, everyone has time to think about other things.

The person before them was a legend from Ten Thousand Years Ago — the Spirit Ice Douluo, a reincarnation of a god. They had so many things they wanted to ask each other and learn from each other, and now seemed like an opportunity.

Finally, Huo Yuhao Wang Hongchen second only to Na Nali, coughed lightly and spoke first, "Your Spirit Ice Crown, I have some questions. May I ask you for your answers? Of course, if Your Majesty has other matters to attend to, then there is no need."

"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hongchen was somewhat delighted. He had originally intended to ask about Soul Tool —after all, the person before him was a soul tool master from Ten Thousand Years Ago, capable of modifying God Rank -slaying cannonballs with ease.

But as the words were about to come out, he felt it was inappropriate to ask about technical details in this setting; it would be too time-consuming. He hesitated for a moment, glanced at the gazes of his colleagues around him, and then changed his approach to something that might interest everyone. "Spirit Ice Douluo, why did you Re-Cultivation and start cultivating again? What happened in the Divine Realm? Why did you disappear? Is there still hope for us to become gods through the Divine Realm?"

"The Divine Realm encountered Space-Time Turbulence and a war, and thus left this star system—"

Huo Yuhao briefly stated, "In short, the previous Divine Realm cannot return anytime soon."

These words caused Ha Luosa, Rong Tianling, and the others to frown and sigh inwardly.

It seems impossible for them to become gods by using the Divine Realm.

However, the group were all perceptive and quickly noticed a detail in Huo Yuhao's words.

What does "the previous Divine Realm" mean?

If there's only one Divine Realm, then there's no need to add "before" before "Divine Realm," right?

Wang Hongchen also noticed this, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and tentatively asked, "You mean— Divine Realm will be born here in the future? Does Your Spirit Ice Crown intend to create Divine Realm after you become a god?"

To become a god and create Divine Realm —you really think highly of me.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was reminded of the Sage King and the Demon Empress from the original novel.

The Abyssal Sage King and the Demon Empress each had their own perspectives. One believed that devouring Douluo Star would allow him to establish Divine Realm, while the other believed that becoming a god would enable him to use the Blood River God-Slaying Grand Array to forge the prototype of the Divine Realm.

Watching Douluo 3 alone isn't so bad, but if you've seen Douluo 4 and know how difficult it was to establish the Divine Realm, then looking back, the confidence of these two is simply astonishing.

There's a strange sense of self-confidence about him.

Of course, if the Divine Realm they are referring to is the Demigod Realm, then their idea cannot be said to be wrong.

Thinking this, Huo Yuhao smiled at Wang Hongchen, but did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "What you all seek is to become gods. Do your duty well, and you will have your chance."

The Divine Realm is not so easy to establish; some of the Limit beings here may not be able to survive until then, but it's a different story in the Demigod Realm.

Regarding the Abyss Plane, he would definitely let the Douluo Plane digest the majority of the energy, while he himself would only absorb a portion of the Abyss energy.

Of course, the problems with Tang Hao and Ah Yin need to be dealt with first.

Perhaps it would be more beneficial for him personally to let the Undead Plane devour the entire Abyss Plane, or even for him to devour all the Abyss energy.

However, if he chooses the former, given the current state of the Undead Plane, it may not be able to transform into the Demigod Realm; if he chooses the latter, he will not be able to ascend to the God King realm in one step, let alone establish Divine Realm.

The result would be that the powerful figures of this era would be trapped at their current limitations, unable to make any further progress. Are we to seal them all away in their prime, only to unseal them when they become God King?

That's unrealistic, and it would be a waste of the talent and time of those promising young players.

Moreover, the Douluo Plane has given him so much, he should give back. The Douluo Federation has been resisting the Abyss for so many years, and the better living environment, more resources, and higher cultivation limits after the plane's sublimation are what the people of the Douluo Continent deserve.

One must eat one bite at a time. First, give the Douluo Plane a good meal, transform it into the Demigod Realm, and raise the ceiling for everyone. Then, it would be even better if he plotted to become God King or Divine Realm.

Huo Yuhao's words were quite meaningful, prompting some people to speculate.

Does this mean they truly have a chance to become gods in the future? But what exactly does "doing one's duty well" mean?

Damn it, why does Her Spirit Ice Crown also like to be a riddle teller?!

Wang Hongchen sighed helplessly, but wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

Since His Spirit Ice Crown has said so, he must have his reasons. We should just do as he says.

He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty."

The others followed suit, bowing in greeting, but secretly pondered how to do their part well—a task that encompassed a vast range of responsibilities.

However, their primary task at present is to defeat the Holy Spirit Cult and the Abyss Plane. Is this related to that?

Some people pondered this in secret, while others raised questions about cultivation or other aspects, which Huo Yuhao answered one by one, greatly benefiting everyone.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was still so easy to get along with, Na Nali mustered her courage and, after one of them left, asked, "Huo----"

Your Spirit Ice Crown, why is your divine title the Fire God? Isn't your Martial Soul the Ultimate Ice?

She couldn't address him by his name directly; she had to use a respectful title. Ultimately, a pitiful, thick barrier separated her from Huo Yuhao.

"Why would you care about this?" Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by Na Nali's question.

Na Nali scratched her head and said, "I'm just curious. After all, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul's essence is Ultimate Ice, but its divine role is that of Fire God. The contrast is too great, isn't it?"

She'd already asked all the serious questions, so now she wanted to ask mostly unserious ones.

What she most wanted to ask was about the Unofficial History accounts surrounding Huo Yuhao. She wanted to know if those Unofficial History were true and how he viewed Unofficial History.

But she didn't dare!

But it would be a shame not to ask anything during this rare opportunity, so Na Nali chose this relatively normal question, one that she was genuinely curious about.

Let's just treat this as casual conversation and see if Huo Yuhao is willing to answer.

Huo Yuhao didn't hide anything from this, and frankly said, "Because I'm not the Fire God, that Titan Giant Ape made a mistake."

Ling Bing's disguise has been exposed, so denying that she is the Fire God is no big deal.

Anyway, a restriction will be set up soon, and this information cannot be leaked casually. Even if something unexpected happens and the information is leaked, it doesn't matter.

After all, Ah Yin definitely knows whether Spirit Ice Douluo has become a god or not, and whether he is the Fire God. Knowing that he is Spirit Ice Douluo, she knows that he is not the Fire God.

As for the God of Slaughter —if the other side realizes he seems to be exaggerating and therefore underestimates him, it will actually be advantageous for them.

Huo Yuhao's words shocked everyone.

"True God... admitted his mistake?" Na Nali's lips twitched.

Although Spirit Ice Douluo is not the Fire God, which is more in line with their understanding, the Fire God is a powerful deity in the Divine Realm.

To be able to mistake this, what kind of astonishing wisdom does that Titan Giant Ape True God possess!

Huo Yuhao shook his head and smiled, "It's understandable that he mistook me for someone else. I do have some things related to the Fire God, and he may not have Divine Realm for Ten Thousand Years Ago, so it's normal for him to mistake me for someone else."

"I see, I understand now."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Na Nali's surprise subsided slightly. Then she glanced at Gu Yuena, whose expression was cold, and decided it was inappropriate to ask questions. So she looked back at Huo Yuhao.

"Your Spirit Ice Crown, Your Majesty Gu Yuena should have become Titled Douluo by now, right?"

"Na'er has already reached the Titled Douluo level, is there a problem?"

"I was just wondering if Her Majesty Gu Yuena was also an ancestor of the Douluo Continent. If so, what was her Titled Douluo in the past? If not, should she follow local customs and give herself a Titled Douluo?" Na Nali gave her answer, her eyes clearly filled with curiosity.

After Huo Yuhao's identity was revealed, she was certain that everyone had guessed Gu Yuena's identity, but no one had the answer.

"That's a question we'll see if Na'er is willing to answer," Huo Yuhao said with a smile, looking at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena blinked and said calmly, "I was already in the Douluo Continent Ten Thousand Years Ago."

After Gu Yuena finished speaking, the conference room fell noticeably quiet for a moment.

The statement "Ten Thousand Years Ago, it was already in the Douluo Continent" was incredibly revealing. Everyone exchanged bewildered glances, countless speculations flashing through their minds:

Who is she? Which legend from back then? Who else could have become a god Ten Thousand Years Ago?

The Butterfly God? Shrek has a portrait of her, but she doesn't resemble Her Majesty Gu Yuena at all.

Seeing everyone deep in thought because of Gu Yuena's words, Huo Yuhao glanced at Gu Yuena, whose eyes were filled with a smile, and smiled helplessly.

It's true that Gu Yuena was in the Douluo Continent Ten Thousand Years Ago, but she was healing in the Star Dou Great Forest. How could anyone possibly recognize her?

It won't be recorded in history books.

Unable to come up with an answer after much deliberation, Na Nali finally asked, "What was your previous Titled Douluo?"

Gu Yuena paused, then shook her head and said, "I've never used Titled Douluo before."

While that's the truth, it's also related to the fact that she hadn't decided on the Titled Douluo banning.

Gu Yuena realized that choosing Titled Douluo was indeed difficult, and she couldn't think of a good Titled Douluo for the time being. She inexplicably understood Gu Ruiqiu's dilemma.

You really need to think carefully about what kind of Titled Douluo you want that sounds good and is related to your own characteristics.

Titled Douluo are usually related to Martial Soul, personal characteristics, and name. The first titles that came to her mind were Silver Dragon Douluo and Silver Moon Douluo.

The former is too straightforward, while the latter—to be honest, if no one has used it before, Gu Yuena thinks it's acceptable.

However, the fact that the old woman from Shrek had used this Titled Douluo for a period of time made her feel that the Titled Douluo had lost its appeal.

Secondly, she just mentioned that she was in the Douluo Continent Ten Thousand Years Ago, and that her Titled Douluo is Silver Moon, which will definitely remind some people of Kong Deming from back then.

Gu Yuena certainly didn't want anyone to come up with any outrageous ideas because of this!

Excluding those two Titled Douluo, she couldn't think of anything suitable for the time being, so she decided to think about it some more.

Perhaps we could add Yuhao's Martial Soul and characteristics.

While Gu Yuena was secretly calculating, the group of Federation personnel who received her answer were completely dumbfounded.

A powerful figure without Titled Douluo has become a god? Could it be that, like the original Spirit Ice Douluo, he was an unknown, reclusive powerhouse? (Gu Yuena: In a sense, you guessed right----)

No wonder she could become Spirit Ice Douluo's partner; feelings are a kind of existence indeed.

Finally, after Na Nali satisfied her curiosity, Huo Yuhao used his Divine Origin Realm Divine Power to set up a restriction on everyone.

The meeting then adjourned, and everyone left the conference room contentedly, carrying with them the guidance and joy they had gained from their predecessors.

Satisfied, they departed.

Once only the Federation Speaker and Yu Guanzhi remained in the conference room, the former looked towards the door and suddenly asked Yu Guanzhi, "What kind of person do you think that is?"

Yu Guanzhi remained silent for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts, before finally speaking slowly, "Unfathomable."

The speaker did not respond, waiting for him to continue.

"It's not just about strength."

Yu Guanzhi added, "His planning, strategies, and judgment of the situation far surpass ours. He says he's not omniscient or omnipotent, but what he knows far exceeds our imagination. Even though we are the people of this era, our understanding of the mainland is far less than his."

"Regarding the Eternal Heaven Kingdom incident, while we were still racking our brains over the Holy Spirit Cult stealing the cannonballs, he had already swapped them for the real ones. While we were still worried about the threat of the Abyss, he seemed to have already made all sorts of preparations, almost like a prophet."

--

The speaker nodded. "Anything else?"

"Besides----"

Yu Guanzhi considered for a moment, "He could have been high above, but he was willing to patiently answer those questions. Wang Hongchen asked about matters of the Divine Realm, Ha Luosa asked for guidance on the path ahead, and Na Nali asked him gossipy questions, he answered them all. Other gods might not have done so."

Do you think this is good or bad?

"That's a good thing."

Yu Guanzhi said confidently, "This shows he's not the kind of person who looks down on everyone. He has ability, methods, and also—warmth! That last point is very important!"

The Federation Speaker sighed, recalling the story of the Sun Moon Empire encountering the descent of the Sea God in history.

"They are warm-hearted people, not aloof gods—that's truly important."

The two exchanged a glance, understanding each other without saying a word.

They are not fools; this era is about to witness an unprecedented transformation.

With Spirit Ice Douluo returning at this time, he might become a leader.

Fortunately, he is a person who can be communicated with, not an unattainable god.

Composing himself, the speaker suddenly laughed and said, "You forgot to mention one thing - that person who never forgot his original aspiration."

Yu Guanzhi was taken aback. "What?"

"When he revealed his Martial Soul before, his aura was even stronger than yours, and his cultivation had clearly reached its Limit —exactly the same as it was Ten Thousand Years Ago."

The speaker's eyes held a hint of emotion. "Ten Thousand Years Ago, he cultivated to his Limit before emerging into the world and establishing the Spirit Pagoda. Ten Thousand Years later, he cultivated to his Limit again before truly revealing his identity. This caution—"

He didn't say the last few words, but Yu Guanzhi already understood, and his expression became somewhat strange.

Although it may be disrespectful to say this, to only emerge and reveal one's identity after reaching the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent —that's truly cunning.

It conforms to the tradition of the Spirit Pagoda and also to everyone's impression of Her Spirit Ice Crown.
