People Identical to the Ancestors?

After a brief conversation, the Sea Princess glanced in the direction of the Titan Snow Demon King and asked, "You need blood for research? Then do you need the blood of our race?"

"No need, with Li Ya here. I've already figured out the power of your clan." Huo Yuhao shook his head.

The Sea Princess nodded, then asked with a puzzled look, "By the way, where's Li Ya?"

Where is her daughter? Why isn't she coming out?

"She wasn't used to that kind of scene before, so she didn't come out with Ice Empress and the others. But she came out after you arrived." Huo Yuhao looked behind the Sea Princess and smiled slightly.

"What?" The Sea Princess was startled. Just as she turned around, a stunningly beautiful figure who looked just like her rushed over and crashed into her arms.

"Mom, it's been so long." Li Ya's voice was filled with longing.

"Li Ya ----"

The Sea Princess was jolted by the impact, but she quickly regained her balance and instinctively hugged her daughter in her arms, her eyes slightly red. "Yes, it's been a long time."

The two embraced for a moment before the Sea Princess released her, carefully examining Li Ya's illusory figure. She exclaimed in surprise, "Li Ya —how did you manage to evade my senses? I didn't even notice you!"

Li Ya blinked, a sly smile playing on her lips. "Hehe, the feedback from Yuhao's improvement has been tremendous, and being with Yuhao allows me to learn a lot. I'm no longer just an ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Soul Spirit. Besides, I can also borrow Yuhao's power, so of course you wouldn't notice, Mom."

When Huo Yuhao was researching various Laws, he would often involve them in the research, pooling their wisdom and efforts. Under such influence, she also developed a good grasp of Power of Space.

The Sea Princess was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"Yes, Your Spirit Ice Crown is already a deity on par with the Sea God. With him as your backer, I naturally wouldn't notice—"

How have you been these past few years?

"I am Yuhao's Soul Spirit. He treats me very well and doesn't restrict me. Whenever he has time, he lets us leave the Spiritual Sea to do what we like." As Li Ya said this, she secretly glanced at Huo Yuhao, her cheeks puffing out slightly.

It was this Re-Cultivation that finally woke her up, causing her to miss out on many things.

Huo Yuhao stood aside, watching the mother and daughter reminisce. Once they had finished pouring out their pent-up feelings accumulated over Ten Thousand Years, he spoke up, "Sea Princess, is the Spirit Pagoda going to launch an attack on the Dou Ling Holy Spirit Cult, using this as a pretext for its first battle after its emergence into the world?"

The Sea Princess straightened her expression, released her daughter's shoulder, and turned to Huo Yuhao.

"I have already made it clear that we will follow your lead. If there are any orders, our clan will not be absent. Your Spirit Ice Crown the instructions on how to deploy us."

Huo Yuhao's lips curved slightly. "Then come with us to Mingdu."

This gathering of the Extreme North Soul Beast is also preparation for the upcoming battles; he will take some combat power with him through the Undead Plane.

Sea Princess: "Okay."

After finishing his business with the Sea Princess, Huo Yuhao completely put aside his worries and immersed himself in this once-in-a- Ten Thousand Years "reunion."

Several days later, in Mingdu.

Gu Yuena sat cross-legged in the meditation room, the four elements of time, space, light, and darkness silently merging at her fingertips in her palm.

Thanks to Huo Yuhao's reminder, she had already stepped into the realm of Power of Time before her Divine Power recovered to the Spirit Domain Realm.

Admittedly, the Power of Time is somewhat mysterious and unpredictable. Among God Rank powerhouses, many are involved in space, but those who can touch time are extremely rare. However, with her comprehension and foundation, once she found the direction, it was as natural as water flowing into a channel, and she did not have to go through too many troubles.

Because of her understanding of the Power of Time, her Spiritual Domain underwent a qualitative transformation, evolving from Spatial Lockdown Domain that was originally capable of awakening into a more powerful Spacetime Stasis Domain, surpassing the past.

Now, she will use her mastery of the Power of Time, along with the three Elemental Power she already possesses, to fuse the Light and Dark Divine Thunder.

In his palm, four forces were slowly converging and colliding.

The void trembled, and a faint wisp of lightning appeared. The lightning was not ostentatious, yet it carried an aura of Heaven Destroying Earth Annihilating power, appearing and disappearing in the shimmering light of intertwined elements, as if asleep, or perhaps waiting to be awakened.

"It's finished."

A hint of joy appeared in Gu Yuena's eyes.

"Now I have another method—when Yuhao comes back, I can teach him this trick."

Light and Dark Divine Thunder is considered a superior Thunder Method among the Four Element Divine Lightning of earth, wind, water, and fire, because it contains four higher-level powers: time, space, darkness, and light.

To master the Seven Colors Divine Lightning, it's a good approach to first master the Light and Dark Divine Thunder – after all, this allows you to explore how to balance the three forces of space, light, and darkness in advance.

However, mastering the Light and Dark Divine Thunder is not a necessary prerequisite for mastering the Seven Colors Divine Lightning. After all, the Seven Colors Divine Lightning does not contain the Power of Time; it only contains the seven powers of earth, wind, water, fire, space, darkness, and light. The Law of Time are not included in it, so the two are not strictly a prerequisite and advancement relationship.

This is precisely why, although Huo Yuhao directly mastered the Seven Colors Divine Lightning due to his status Plane Master, and did not study the Light and Dark Divine Thunder much, it does not mean that the Light and Dark Divine Thunder was worthless to him.

The Light and Dark Divine Thunder possesses the power of time, space, light, and darkness, and can also break through any power of time, space, light, or darkness. In other words, it has a certain restraining effect on the Power of Time. This is an ability that the Seven Colors Divine Lightning does not have, as time is not among the attributes that the Seven Colors Divine Lightning can break through.

(Note: This concept of divine lightning does exist in Douluo 4, but it was only mentioned briefly during the Four Element Divine Lightning, Lan Xuanyu basically never used it.)

Although the Reincarnation Domain can be used as a means to deal with most time-related abilities for Huo Yuhao, having an additional means of dealing with such situations is also a kind of foundation.

"Now, we could try to incorporate the Light and Dark Divine Thunder into our bodies—no, let's wait until Yuhao returns to discuss this; that would be safer."

Inspired by Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, who was now more cautious, thought for a moment and decided to abandon the idea of condensing the Light and Dark Divine Thunder within her body. Instead, she began to study the Seven Colors Divine Lightning.

Having experience in condensing the Four Element Divine Lightning and the Light and Dark Divine Thunder, the research on the Seven Colors Divine Lightning went much more smoothly and progressed quickly.

Gu Yuena felt that if she learned from Huo Yuhao, she should be able to master it quickly.

It must be said that having a partner on a similar path to mutually reinforce and learn from is far better than groping your way alone.

After practicing for a while, she was about to get up to teach Jia Lin and practice the Heavenly Forging when suddenly, the feedback from the contract made Gu Yuena pause, and then her eyes lit up.

A flash of silver light surrounded her, and she was already at the door.

On the previously empty square, a spatial ripple suddenly spread out, and several figures emerged from it.

Standing beside Huo Yuhao was Snow Empress, followed by Ye Guyi, Su Tong, the Sea Princess, Ji Juechen, and the Titan Snow Demon King and Xiao Bai, who had transformed into human form.

"Na'er." Huo Yuhao spotted Gu Yuena standing on the steps at a glance, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Yuhao."

Gu Yuena walked down the steps and looked at the somewhat unfamiliar figures behind Huo Yuhao. "Are these your former companions?"

"That's right, let me introduce you."

Huo Yuhao stepped aside and first introduced Gu Yuena, then introduced Ye Guyi, Su Tong, and Ji Juechen, including the Sea Princess who had not appeared in public, to Gu Yuena one by one.

Xiao Bai, Titan Snow Demon King, and Gu Yuena all know each other, so I won't go into detail.

As Gu Yuena listened to his introduction, she also sized up the group of people.

She knew a little about the first generation of members of the Spirit Pagoda, so she quickly matched the names with the information she remembered.

Her gaze swept over Ji Juechen and the Sea Princess, and quickly settled on Ye Guyi and Su Tong, two women with stunning looks and unique charm.

Who told her to have read the Unofficial History between these two and Huo Yuhao? She couldn't help but care.

Of the two, she looked at Ye Guyi more often.

After all, Su Tong was Huo Yuhao's disciple, and given their relationship, there wasn't much to think about. But Ye Guyi, a woman who had never married and had a deep relationship with Huo Yuhao, was someone Huo Yuhao cared about somewhat.

While Gu Yuena was sizing them up, Su Tong and Ye Guyi were also secretly observing her.

Although she had seen Gu Yuena's photos, Su Tong was still somewhat amazed when she saw her in person.

The woman before him was tall and slender, with silver hair cascading like moonlight, deep purple eyes that seemed to hold a galaxy, and skin as white as snow. She stood there quietly, aloof and ethereal, yet naturally exuding nobility and gentleness.

Wearing a simple long dress, her elegance shines through with every gesture.

"Her temperament and appearance are unparalleled throughout history; no one would dare claim to surpass her. She truly deserves the title of goddess."

Su Tong glanced at Gu Yuena, then at Snow Empress, and thought to herself: These two are indeed quite similar; the teacher's preferences are really obvious.

Ye Guyi didn't pay attention to that. After noticing Gu Yuena looking her over, she smiled and extended her hand, "Hello, I'm Ye Guyi, Yuhao's companion."

With Gu Yuena's help, Yuhao and the others will have an easier time in the future. Naturally, she wouldn't hold a grudge against Gu Yuena because of that little thing in her heart.

Gu Yuena paused slightly, then reached out to shake her hand, a sincere smile curving her lips, "Hello."

The group exchanged greetings. Since Huo Yuhao had already informed everyone about Gu Yuena's situation beforehand, their first meeting proceeded smoothly and the atmosphere was peaceful.

"Na'er, have Di Tian and the others arrived?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"They've arrived; after all, the meeting was scheduled for today." Gu Yuena nodded. "They're currently at the Spirit Pagoda, waiting for the meeting to begin."

This meeting differed from the previous one Possession Demon; it was transformed from an online event into a more formal offline meeting. Not only would the current Eighteen Heavenly Pillars masters of the Spirit Pagoda Tower Master and the Four Great Spirit Envoys be present, but some retired powerhouses were also invited.

After all, today is destined to be a day that will be recorded in history for the Spirit Pagoda.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, "Then let's go straight to the Spirit Pagoda."

97

Gu Yuena thought about what would happen next, and a slight smile curved her lips. "Okay."

Without further delay, the group headed straight for the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.

They had just arrived near the headquarters building when two figures walked out towards them.

The two men noticed them and froze in their tracks.

"Your Majesty Huo Yuhao, Your Majesty Gu Yuena, Snow Emperor Tower Master, Titan Tower Master----"

A middle-aged man rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating. "Hiss, why are so many Spirit Pagoda figures from the Spirit Pagoda here? What happened? Is something big about to happen?"

"Don't you know?"

A person nearby said, "I heard that the current Qian Gu Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda has stepped down, and today is the big day for the new Tower Master to Spirit Pagoda office, so many high-ranking members of the Spirit Pagoda will be coming from all over the country."

"The Tower Master? Could it be—" The middle-aged man's eyes widened as he subconsciously looked at the departing figure.

"Who else could it be but that person?"

The young man beside him watched Huo Yuhao and the others enter the Spirit Pagoda with a sigh, then frowned slightly.

"Speaking of which, who are those people next to them?"

He was naturally referring to Ji Juechen and his group.

"I don't know. If even someone as well-informed as you doesn't recognize him, how could I possibly know him?"

The middle-aged man shook his head. "He must be a big shot in the Spirit Pagoda."

"I think so too, and those guys look kind of familiar, but I don't recall them being among the current high-ranking members of the Spirit Pagoda."

The young man scratched his head, thought for a long time, but couldn't recall why it felt familiar. So he stopped thinking about it and decided to leave.

Just then, he noticed three more figures approaching from a distance.

"Those are—the former Master of the Spirit Pagoda, the Master of the Carefree Pagoda, and His Majesty the Soul Suppressor?"

Hua Yichen went straight to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters as soon as he got off the Soul Tool Airplane.

From afar, he spotted two familiar figures.

"Senior Ji, Your Soul Suppressing Crown." Hua Yichen quickened his pace, arrived beside the two, and greeted them.

--

The Soul Suppressing Douluo nodded.

Ji Xuanqiu smiled and said, "It's Xiao Yao. We haven't seen each other in a long time."

"You've retired, and I'm usually in the Eastsea, so naturally we haven't had a chance to meet."

Hua Yichen remarked with emotion, "If it weren't for this meeting, we probably wouldn't have had the chance to meet."

Ji Xuanqiu laughed and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that the handover ceremony of the Tower Master would actually call an old man like me here—"

Perhaps it's because the next Tower Master is too special.

Upon hearing this, Hua Yichen immediately thought of Huo Yuhao's situation and nodded in agreement, "Indeed, for a True God to inherit the position of Tower Master is a momentous event worthy of being recorded in history."

Moreover, the thought that he had formed a good relationship with this True God made Hua Yichen's lips curl into a smile.

If we were to name the happiest person when Huo Yuhao succeeds to the position of Tower Master, he would definitely be one of them.

Hua Yichen calmed himself down and said, "However, besides the handover of the Tower Master, this meeting also has matters to discuss regarding the attack on the Dou Ling Holy Spirit Cult. I imagine your presence here, Senior, is primarily related to this."

Ji Xuanqiu nodded. "I heard there's been a big commotion in the Extreme North. It seems the Snow Empress has summoned the Extreme North Soul Beast and is mobilizing her forces. This hasn't happened for many years, so it must be related to this."

Upon hearing this, the Soul Suppressing Douluo, who had remained silent until now, looked at Ji Xuanqiu.

"Speaking of this, I have other news: three figures identical to our ancestors from Ten Thousand Years Ago have appeared in the Extreme North."

Hua Yichen looked at him in surprise, "Exactly the same as our ancestor from Ten Thousand Years Ago? Really?"

"Are you doubting our Execution Department's ability to verify information?" Soul Suppressing Douluo said calmly, "There were indeed figures like Tower Master Su Tong, Tower Master Ye Guyi, and Tower Master Ji Juechen appearing in the Extreme North, and they were with His Majesty Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress Pagoda Master. Many people in the Extreme North branch saw them."

No, that's not what I meant.

Hua Yichen frowned and said, "I mean, could they be disguised using some kind of Soul Skill, or perhaps descendants of our ancestors—"

He stopped halfway through his sentence.

Disguise? Who would dare to impersonate a predecessor of the Spirit Pagoda on its Spirit Pagoda territory, especially beside the Snow Empress? As for three descendants who look exactly like their predecessors from Ten Thousand Years Ago —such a coincidence is too outrageous.

His gaze shifted to Ji Xuanqiu, wanting to know what the man was thinking.

After all, one of the three figures that appeared was an ancestor of the Ji Clan.

Ji Xuanqiu was silent for a moment before saying, "No one in our Ji Clan looks exactly like our ancestor. However, according to family records, our ancestor Sword Fanatic, like our ancestor Su Tong, did indeed disappear in the Extreme North!"

"You're not suggesting those three are really our ancestors, are you?" Hua Yichen's eyelids twitched, and he said incredulously, "Ten Thousand Years —you can't live that long without becoming a god."

The Soul Suppressing Douluo nodded as well.

To be honest, he was completely stunned when he heard the news. He almost thought he was dreaming and couldn't believe it either.

"For details, why don't we ask the Snow Empress Pagoda Master?" Ji Xuanqiu's gaze turned to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters in front of him, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

After eliminating all conceivable possibilities, the remaining one, no matter how bizarre, may be the truth.

But—if those three are truly the ancestors of the Spirit Pagoda, then why would His Majesty Huo Yuhao happen to appear in the Extreme North?

If the ancestors were still alive, it would be understandable for the Snow Empress to meet with her past companions. However, why would Huo Yuhao, who is about to succeed as the master of the Spirit Pagoda, appear there with the Snow Empress and meet with the three ancestors?

Who is he?
