Xuan Zi made his promise with absolute confidence.

Electrolux remained cautious:

"Yuhao, to be safe, I suggest you withdraw from the Soul Master Tournament finals."

"Everyone's eyes are on you now."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was even more rattled, darting around the Sea of Consciousness:

"It's over, it's over! I only just escaped the Star Dou Great Forest. They're not going to catch me and drag me back, are they?"

Huo Yuhao watched Brother Sky Dream panic, his face darkening. That was Brother Sky Dream for you.

The Ice Empress scoffed:

"And you call yourself a Million-Year Soul Beast with courage like that?"

"If I had your cultivation, I'd have slaughtered my way across the whole continent by now."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hurried to defend himself:

"Bingbing, you've got me wrong. I'm just worried about Yuhao!"

Huo Yuhao knew Brother Sky Dream was trying to save face, but he couldn't help smiling.

"No matter what, I'm going to keep going."

"Until I have my revenge."

"Brother Sky Dream, I'll protect you!"

The world of Douluo I.

The Star Dou Great Forest.

Good news: his future self had actually escaped.

Bad news: he had become a Soul Ring?

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm groaned.

"Ten thousand years from now, Bingbing becomes the Child of Destiny Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul too?"

"And I'm the one who makes it happen?"

"What?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could hardly believe it.

But before he could brood for long,

several glares swung his way.

"Oh, so you're still up to no good. You actually dare to escape ten thousand years from now?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm thought:

I'm doomed.

That Sky Curtain has ruined me.

At that moment, Di Tian frowned as well.

The Sky Curtain had exposed the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's existence.

And Di Tian had sent many Soul Beasts out to kill Tang San.

Would humans attack the Star Dou Forest when the time came?

He wasn't afraid, but he worried they might disturb the Master's slumber.

Heaven Dou City.

Phainon's Clothing Store.

Wang Dong was stunned.

"That Yuhao actually has a Million-Year Soul Beast, and there's even a god living inside him."

Her brother had pulled up in a luxury ride. Wang Dong couldn't help feeling envious.

But she was worried too:

Now that those secrets were exposed, Huo Yuhao's safety would surely become a problem.

After all, he was still near the Soul Master Tournament finals venue.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue was equally shaken.

"What do you mean his First Soul Ring is a Million-Year Soul Ring?" Even her innate level-twenty Soul Power felt a little lackluster now.

Qian Renxue glanced at Phainon.

He still looked perfectly calm.

Qian Renxue thought:

Is a god and a Million-Year Soul Beast together not enough to shock Phainon?

Phainon wasn't shocked.

More than anything, he was looking forward to what came next.

Maybe Aha had pulled too many stunts on him.

Now that he saw Aha exposing the people of the Douluo Continent, he figured their fates would take a very different course.

Phainon found it rather entertaining himself.

He thought:

No wonder Aha loves stirring things up. It really is interesting.

If Huo Yuhao really travels back ten thousand years,

what will happen to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Empress in this world?

What happens when the same person or Soul Beast exists in the same time and place as their counterpart?

Just as Phainon and Black Calamity had once coexisted.

Phainon was curious.

[Huo Yuhao gained resources countless people coveted.] [But his path was fraught with hardship.] [His teacher Electrolux died after researching a method to create Soul Spirits in order to save him.] [Wang Dong, the girl he loved, merged with a trace of the Emperor Auspicious Beast's Divine Sense and became Tang Wutong.] [In Qiankun Asking Love Valley, his father-in-law Tang San personally tormented him, calling it a test.] [Tang San even placed a Restriction on Tang Wutong. Whenever Huo Yuhao approached her and tried to be intimate, he was flung away.] [Under God King Tang's influence, Huo Yuhao drifted farther and farther from the person he had once been.] [Later, as war raged, he was forced to protect the White Tiger Duke for the greater good, saving the father he had wanted to kill with his own hands.] [Ironically, he even awakened the Twin Pupils of the White Tiger Duke lineage.] [The bloodline Huo Yuhao had fought so hard to cast off had long since seeped into his flesh and bones. This was his fate, a fate he had been born with and could not escape.] [The boy with Spirit Eyes had long since lost all his sharp edges.] [In the end, he became Spirit Ice Douluo, a name that resounded across the continent!] [He became the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy!] [And the master of the Spirit Pagoda, which advanced the coexistence of Soul Beasts and humans!] [After ascending to the Divine Realm,] [he became the God of Emotion, a First-Level God who governed the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.] [He became God King Tang San's son-in-law, just as he had wished.] [Huo Yuhao's mother, Huo Yun'er, was brought back to life.] [Huo Yuhao changed his name to Dai Yuhao and reunited with Dai Mubai's family as one of their own.] [Everything seemed so perfect.] [But Huo Yuhao could have achieved all of it on his own. He carried the fortune of Douluo Star and had the makings of a God King.] [Under God King Tang's guiding hand, that fortune was transferred away bit by bit. Huo Yuhao believed he had gained everything, unaware that he had lost far more.] [The boy named Huo Yuhao died on the road away from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.]

When the Sky Curtain revealed all this,

everyone in the world of Douluo II was stunned.

Huo Yuhao truly was a Child of Destiny.

Spirit Ice Douluo, Sea God Pavilion Master, First-Level God...

There wasn't room to fit all those titles here.

But everyone understood: Huo Yuhao's life should have been that of a Child of Destiny.

He had the makings of a God King, yet in the end he submitted to Tang San's plans.

Tang San was truly sinister.

At the front lines.

Dai Hao stared at the Sky Curtain in shock.

"That child is actually a Child of Destiny."

Yet such an outstanding child had been cast out of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Dai Hao felt a twinge of regret.

He had paid far too little attention to his household.

Sun Moon Royal Academy.

Meng Hongchen, her brother, and Ma Rulong were dumbfounded.

"The Sky Curtain is saying Huo Yuhao had the makings of a God King, but ended up a First-Level God."

"I fought a future First-Level God?"

Shrek Academy.

Beating him was a test?

He would take the Dai surname in the end?

His teacher Electrolux would die?

Each glimpse of the future made Huo Yuhao clench his fists tighter.

He laughed bitterly at himself.

"Dai Yuhao?"

"What a joke!"

He could never have imagined that he would become someone like that.

Yes, everything seemed wonderful.

He and Dai Hao played at being one big happy family.

His mother looked happy too.

But Huo Yuhao knew it was all false.

Because the suffering he and his mother had endured had been real.

Those wounds could not be erased.

In the end, he simply wasn't strong enough.

He could only become God King Tang's subordinate: a First-Level God, the God of Emotion.

His past had taught Huo Yuhao that someone living under another's roof could not decide his own fate.

That had been true of the boy Huo Yuhao.

It would be true of the future Dai Yuhao too.

But if he were strong enough to become a God King,

he could bring his mother back himself, without Tang San!

He could even revive his teacher Electrolux, who might die in the future!

He believed that if God King Tang San had the power to revive his mother, there was no reason he could not revive his teacher as well.

The only possible explanation was that God King Tang San feared the support Huo Yuhao would have with a teacher like Electrolux at his side.
