"Uh."
"Put your ten-thousand-year grand plan on hold for a moment. I've already given you the plane, so you ought to tell me what happened to me!"
Huo Yuhao questioned Seven-Color, who was still laughing triumphantly.
"Your situation is rather complicated!" Seven-Color pressed a finger to her chin and pondered adorably before continuing, "I've already become one with your Martial Soul, so you've now become a plane will, too."
"Well? Surprised? Didn't see that coming, did you? Since I merged with you willingly, you now possess all my authority. It's only a tiny, tiny fraction of my original self's, but you're still the Plane Master of Douluo Star."
"Just like that? I wasn't ready! Couldn't you have given me a little time to prepare myself?"
His earlier suspicions had become established fact. Although Huo Yuhao hadn't expected much, he was still pleasantly surprised.
"Hmph, don't pocket the bargain and then play innocent. It's all because of that bizarre Martial Soul of yours. I couldn't even sense that it was your Martial Soul, and that's how I ended up bound to you by a ridiculous twist of fate. You've infuriated me! Tell me honestly, where did that Martial Soul of yours come from?"
As if I could tell you it's something from another universe, Huo Yuhao grumbled inwardly.
"Then what are those two golden currents in my eyes?" Huo Yuhao asked the question that concerned him most.
"Those? They're part of Douluo Star's destiny power-the two great strands of destiny power belonging to the Human Race and the Beast Race, at that. After the Children of Destiny were born, the remaining traces of destiny power were all absorbed by you, the new Plane Master.
"It's nothing much right now, but in a few years, once the destiny power inside you fully takes shape, Tang San up in the heavens will notice it. Hmph, my original self created the Children of Destiny to guard against the Abyss. The plan was to nurture a Beast God and a God King, who would join Tang San, the Child of Destiny who became a god ten thousand years ago, in resisting the Abyss's invasion. But my original self never expected Tang San to be a traitor working for the Abyss. Otherwise, nothing he's done makes any sense."
Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched after hearing that. It seemed Tang San's ten-thousand-year plan was entirely about obstructing Douluo Star's plane will from saving itself: destroying Wang Qiu'er, the Emperor Auspicious Beast who might have become the Beast God, enslaving the Child of Destiny to fight for power and profit on his behalf, and even stabbing the plane will in the back outright by having his own father take its place.
Tang San, oh, Tang San. You really are something.
"Seven-Color, what authority do you actually have? I'm completely in the dark here," Huo Yuhao asked next.
Seven-Color thought that in a few years, Tang San would discover and kill the Huo Yuhao standing before her. Then the Bright Half-Plane would belong entirely to her. The very thought excited her, so she told him everything without holding anything back.
"I have three powers. The first is teleporting freely to any location on Douluo Star. All it costs is soul power," Seven-Color declared proudly.
"Then how did Tang San capture and imprison your original self?" Huo Yuhao doused her enthusiasm with a bucket of cold water.
Seven-Color: "..."
Are we going to have a conversation or not?
"He ambushed my original self. My original self got careless and didn't dodge. His Unfixed Wind Wave bound my original self, and then... there was no 'then.'" Seven-Color looked indignant, as though Tang San had committed some utterly unforgivable crime.
"Oh, I see. What about the second power?"
"Heh-heh, the second is even more impressive. You can draw on the power of heaven and earth to replenish whatever you've expended, whether it's soul power or life force. But I only have partial authority, so you can't draw on very much. It probably won't even be as fast as recovering on your own."
"Then why the hell did you bother mentioning it? What a waste of my excitement!" Huo Yuhao was immediately speechless. He hated people who dragged out their words like that.
"You dare speak to me like that? Hmph, then I won't tell you my most powerful ability!" Seven-Color folded her arms over her chest and stuck her lips out in an enormous pout. "Then don't. I'm not curious in the slightest." With that, Huo Yuhao walked ahead, admiring his own bright half-world.
Seeing that, Seven-Color hurried after him on her little feet and said fiercely, "You are curious!"
"No, I'm not!"
"Yes, you are!"
"No, I'm not!" Huo Yuhao pushed Seven-Color aside again and kept walking on his own.
"Then I'm telling you anyway! My final power is that as long as I don't die and Douluo Star isn't destroyed, you can't die. Well? Isn't that insanely powerful?"
Seven-Color's eyes brimmed with smug delight. She apparently hadn't noticed that what she was saying now contradicted her earlier thoughts. She couldn't wait to see Huo Yuhao's shocked expression.
She was smiling, and so was Huo Yuhao. A few words were all it had taken for him to coax this foolish little girl into revealing everything, right down to her underwear.
And Seven-Color's answer put Huo Yuhao in a wonderful mood. He had become a pseudo-Plane Master and gained three heaven-defying powers over Douluo Star. His soul power had risen to level seventy, his physical attributes had reached level ninety, and he had even collected destiny power inside his body? After all those twists and turns, had he ended up right back where he started?
Still, the river flows east for thirty years and west for thirty more. Don't scorn a poor live-in son-in-law.
Tang San, never mind the few years Seven-Color says you'll need to discover me. Even if you find out in a few days, I'm no longer afraid of you. I'd love to see how many of my flying knives your Sea God Trident can stop.
In the Core Area of the Star Dou Great Forest, on the battlefield where the White Tiger had just fought.
The fighting had only just stopped, and the ground hadn't even cooled, yet a second terrifying battle had already erupted.
Dark clouds blanketed the sky, and three enormous figures blotted out the sun.
One was over five meters long, powerfully built, and somewhat lionlike, but it had three identical enormous heads. Each head was over a meter in diameter, and its terrifying fangs gleamed scarlet-gold. (Respecting the original text: three hundred thousand years, over five meters. The author is trying not to stray from the established setting here.)
Compared with the hundred-meter Hell Demon Dragon King beside him, whose entire body was covered in purple-black scales, the Three-Headed Scarlet King did indeed look like a little toy. Yet the Scarlet King, who had survived three heavenly tribulations and possessed three hundred thousand years of cultivation, radiated an aura far stronger than hers. The black-red hellfire rising from his body alone was enough to strike terror into anyone. It was close to ultimate fire.
He was a perfect example of how the finest essence came in a concentrated package.
The Scarlet King only showed Zi JI so much respect because of Di Tian's prestige. After all, Zi JI and Di Tian had that sort of relationship. Ahem. The Scarlet King thought to himself that he not only had to babysit every day, but also had to let Di Tian's woman order him around. What an unfortunate dog's life!
Both Ferocious Beasts radiated overwhelming ferocity, yet even their combined presence fell short of that of the lone human opposite them. The Godly Taotie Bull Martial Soul Avatar, hundreds of meters tall, pressed down on the two beast kings until they could hardly breathe.
"Xuan Zi, calm down. This was all an accident. We'll definitely give you an explanation."
"Be reasonable? How do you expect me to be reasonable? Today, I'm going to catch that White Tiger, skin him, and rip out his tendons!"
Xuan Zi threw back his head and roared furiously. The enormous chicken drumstick in his hand struck with sudden force, and the three colossal figures clashed violently once again.
"Damn it, Zi JI! We came here to demand answers, and now we're the ones in the wrong!" the Scarlet King snapped in frustration.
"Hmph, that White Tiger came from your territory, too. How are you so useless that you couldn't even control a hundred-thousand-year subordinate and let him eat eight of this mad bull's disciples?"
Yes, Zhang Lexuan had lied. For the sake of an outsider, she had lied for the first time. She told Xuan Zi that all eight had been eaten by the White Tiger, with not even their bones left behind. Otherwise, she truly didn't know how to explain Huo Yuhao's existence.
"Xuan Zi, stop for now. We'll help you find this White Tiger. Once we've questioned him and gotten to the bottom of things, we can decide what to do." The Scarlet King felt aggrieved, too. Since when did Soul Beasts need to explain themselves for eating humans?
Ultimately, strength still did the talking in this world. If any other faction dared come demanding answers, they would simply swallow them in one bite. But Shrek Academy clearly had that right. After all, Xuan Zi's strength was right there for all to see.
"Don't even think about taking this hundred-thousand-year Dragon-Horned Crystal Python away. And as for this towering rage inside me, I'm going to vent it properly on the two of you!"
