The transmigrator

After buying some supplies with the two girls and taking a stroll around the academy, evening arrived, and the three parted ways downstairs from their dormitories.

Huo Yuhao went straight to Dorm 108. To him, it was nothing more than a temporary place to rest. He knocked on the door.

"You?" Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise. "Didn't you say you were going to change rooms?"

"There weren't any spare rooms." That was all Huo Yuhao offered by way of explanation before walking straight to his bed and sitting cross-legged to cultivate.

Huo Yuhao did not look at Wang Dong again, merely continuing with his eyes closed. "Of your rules, I'm only willing to follow the first, second, and fourth. The third depends on a person's constitution, though I don't snore in my sleep anyway. As for the fifth, I'll only clean my own area."

Wang Dong stared blankly at Huo Yuhao. Only after a long while did she slowly speak. "Um, about what happened earlier today, I was in the wrong first. Please bear with me."

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and looked at Wang Dong with some surprise. "An ancient sage once said: there is no greater good than recognizing one's faults and correcting them."

Wang Dong taking the initiative to apologize improved Huo Yuhao's impression of her somewhat. She was a little princess who had been spoiled by her family since childhood, and since she had gotten into Shrek Academy, her talent was probably quite good too. A little arrogance was normal. Recognizing her mistake and apologizing so quickly was already quite commendable.

"Uh, well, my name's Wang Dong. What's yours?"

"Huo Yuhao."

"Then we're roommates from now on. I was among the earliest to register, so I'm in Freshman Class One. Which class are you in? Oh, right, how come I've never heard of that sage you just mentioned?"

"I'm in Class Nine. That sage wasn't very famous. It's normal that you haven't heard of him." After all, he was a sage from Ancient Terra. It was only natural that people on Douluo Star did not know him. Huo Yuhao did not reveal anything more. He casually brushed the matter aside and resumed cultivating.

Seeing Huo Yuhao resume his cultivation, Wang Dong did not disturb him. She was sleepy herself, so she went to bed.

Dorm 408.

"What are you thinking about, my lord?"

Gu Yuena came back to herself.

"Are you thinking about what Yuhao said?"

While they were strolling around Shrek Academy, they had passed the statues of the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils and heard the story of how they had all become gods. Everyone else had looked admiring, and even Gu Yuena had expressed amazement. But when the girls looked at Huo Yuhao, all they saw was his gloomy expression, reminding Gu Yuena of that scene at the Lake of Life.

Huo Yuhao had spoken with great solemnity, his words still audible only to the three of them. "Gods are not inherently greater than us. Only the weak submit to their false promises of fame and power. There is someone, a great being, who hopes we will embrace the same view: humanity is greater than any creator. We are the greatest species in the world."

"I told you, you don't have to call me your lord. Just call me big sister.

"Huo Yuhao truly shocked me. I've never had that kind of thought. I was even wondering whether Huo Yuhao was a madman.

"Originally, I thought Huo Yuhao could become a god in the future. With his aptitude, becoming a First-Level God should be no problem. He even has a chance of becoming a God King. At the very least, that would let him put in a few words for our Soul Beast Clan.

"But now, I fully realize that he truly intends to destroy the Divine Realm and deny the existence of gods."

"Then, big sister, what do you think? Are you going to do something to him?" Gu Qiu'er was a little frightened.

"You trust him a great deal, don't you?"

"Yes."

"There's something about him that makes people want to believe in him. I feel it too.

"His ideas may be mad, but I actually admire him all the more for them.

"Because of the Divine Realm's restrictions, Soul Beasts cannot become gods. And as one side waxes and the other wanes over these long years, our Soul Beast Clan will sooner or later be exterminated by humanity. There is no chance of revival at all.

"For the Soul Beast Clan, unless a human god is willing to establish a Divine Realm that accepts Soul Beast gods, our kind cannot become gods. And doing that would take at least a God King. That is also why I was willing to ally with Huo Yuhao.

"But now, Huo Yuhao has offered an entirely new line of thought. Since Soul Beasts cannot become gods, why not simply have no human gods either? When the Douluo Plane devours the Divine Realm and ascends to a higher plane, the upper limits of its living beings will rise too. Soul Beasts will also be able to attain god-level cultivation.

"As for whether Huo Yuhao can defeat the Divine Realm, I have a premonition. What do you think?"

"I believe in him!"

"So do I."

Unlike Gu Qiu'er's blind faith, Gu Yuena's belief was more a matter of rational trust. She knew Huo Yuhao must have some sort of trump card. Besides, given the Soul Beasts' current circumstances, they had no possibility of standing against humanity-the Divine Realm. Rather than have their flesh sliced away with a dull knife, they might as well take a gamble!

Meanwhile, in Dorm 233.

Xu Yang had also returned to his dorm.

"I'm back, Tang Yin. I noticed you hadn't had dinner either, so I brought you a portion." As he spoke, he set the dinner in his hand on the desk on the boy's side.

"Thank you." The boy, who had been cultivating, slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

The boy had ordinary features and a head of blue hair.

"When I was at the academy with Brother Bei Bei and Sister Tang Ya today, we ran into a friend of theirs. His name was Huo Yuhao." Xu Yang seemed to be casually sharing his day, but his attention remained fixed on Tang Yin's expression. Tang Yin froze slightly for a second, his hand unconsciously clenching.

Just as I thought. You're Tang San, and a Tang San reborn from the future at that, Xu Yang thought to himself. Then Huo Yuhao definitely isn't a transmigrator either. If he could make Tang San be reborn, Huo Yuhao must also be a reborn God King! Weren't you the Tang family's good little dog? How did you end up clashing with Tang San?! Damn it, why have all these unexpected changes happened?

Xu Yang had a secret: he was a transmigrator. Before transmigrating, he had read the Douluo Continent series of novels. Even if he had forgotten some details, he still knew the general plot.

A few years earlier, when he discovered that he had transmigrated into Peerless Tang Sect, heaven knew how excited he had been. Especially after his Martial Soul Awakening revealed that he possessed Twin Martial Souls: a mutated spiritual-type Golden Eyes Martial Soul, and a mutated Sun Martial Soul with Ultimate Light!

Wasn't this the perfect protagonist setup?! Knowing the plot of Peerless Tang Sect, Xu Yang believed he was nothing like that useless Huo Yuhao from the original story! He would seize all of Huo Yuhao's opportunities, expose his worthless nature to the world, trample him beneath his feet, and make him a dog! He would defeat God King Tang and save both the Divine Realm and the Soul Beasts.

However, because he had been born into the Sun Moon Imperium's imperial family and had displayed excessive talent, he had aroused the jealousy of other members of the imperial family, and his branch had been targeted for extermination. Fortunately, the old steward had been utterly loyal and had hidden him well before dying. Over the years, he had cultivated while evading his pursuers, and only in the past two years had he shaken them off completely.

Xu Yang had also wanted to intercept the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm ahead of time, but for some reason, he had never encountered him. Before Huo Yuhao went to the Star Dou Great Forest a few days earlier, he had even observed Huo Yuhao outside the White Tiger Duke's Mansion for a while.

But what he had never expected was that someone suspected to be Tang San would actually appear here just a few days earlier. Tang Yin, an alias Tang San had once used, who also possessed a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and cultivated at an extraordinary speed. Who besides God King Tang would bring all those elements together?!

And Huo Yuhao-he's actually been reborn too! It definitely happened within the past two days. To think these unexpected changes would occur. Without obtaining the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he actually went straight to beguiling Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena. This has completely disrupted my plans!

But I still have advantages. The others aren't reborn, and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux chose me. Without his second Martial Soul, the Far North will definitely be mine too. So what if Huo Yuhao has been reborn? I'm a transmigrator! Besides, with Tang San here, I can easily let those dogs bite each other.

The most urgent task now is to awaken Electrolux. Otherwise, once Huo Yuhao has enough Soul Power to form a Soul Spirit Contract, I won't have any way to persuade Gu Yuena!

I can't have too much contact with Huo Yuhao right now. Hmph, once I've seized all his opportunities, I'll have his companions from his previous life humiliate him. Haha, that will definitely be spectacular!

However, when Xu Yang had seen Huo Yuhao that afternoon, the little gray ball in his spiritual world had trembled almost imperceptibly amid his violent emotional fluctuations.
