"Wait wait wait----"
Huo Yuhao was completely confused. He raised his hand and made a pause gesture, frowning.
"First, what does taking your Soul Clone mean? What is Soul Clone? How to take it? Do you drink it? Or swallow it? Why can't I understand what you are saying at all?"
Lu Ren No explanation.
He just raised his right hand, and then, under the shocked eyes of Huo Yuhao and Ye Guyi, he stretched out two fingers to pinch the index finger of his left hand.
Then, break it off hard.
There was a crisp click sound.
Lu Ren without changing his expression, he pried off his index finger.
There was no blood spurting out from the fracture, only a layer of light flowing, like a solid solidified from some kind of liquid.
He raised the finger in front of Huo Yuhao and said in a calm tone, "Eat my finger."
Huo Yuhao's face turned extremely pale instantly. "Eat----eat your fingers?!"
"I have ten." Lu Ren shook the severed finger in his hand, "Then you need to take my ten fingers."
"These ten fingers are the carrier of me Soul Clone. Each one contains a ray of my soul origin."
"When you take them all, my Soul Clone will become one with you in your body."
"When the time comes, you Ascension to the Divine Realm, and my Soul Clone will also follow you into the Divine Realm."
Huo Yuhao's lips trembled.
He looked at the finger in Lu Ren's hand and felt his stomach churn.
Finger eating?
Or ten?!
Although he has experienced many bizarre things over the years, being fed by someone's fingers into his mouth is something he has never dreamed of.
Huo Yuhao even wondered if Lu Ren was deliberately trying to trick him.
"What about the second one?"
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the discomfort in his stomach.
"What the hell is Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? I don't even know where this place is!"
"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well----has been hidden by the gods in the sky." A look of regret appeared on Lu Ren's face.
He does have reason to regret.
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, that is no ordinary place.
It is a natural treasure land that brings together the world's most extreme ice and Lie Yan power, and breeds countless rare Immortal Herb elixirs.
Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot----If you take out any one of them, they are all treasures that are enough to make everyone grab their heads.
Lu Ren is so greedy for the Immortal Herb inside.
He had long been thinking about that treasure land, and planned to catch all those Immortal Herbs once he settled down. Whether he took them himself or used them to make elixirs, they would be priceless gains.
Maybe Tang San in the Divine Realm is alert.
After Lu Ren completely destroyed Shrek, Tang San took action.
Although Lu Ren knows the address of the original Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it is in the central basin of Sunset Forest, and there is Jade-Scale Seven-Extremity Flower guarding the periphery.
However, when Lu Ren sent a large number of Cursed Spirit to search for Sunset Forest, they found that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was completely missing.
Can't even find it outside.
Lu Ren, who does not believe in evil, even went there personally, but found nothing.
The basin is still there, but where Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well should have been, there is only a piece of ordinary soil left, as if that treasure land had never existed.
Who else can do this on the Douluo Continent except those Deity of the Divine Realm?
The person who is most motivated and capable in this matter is undoubtedly Tang San.
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is the treasure of Tang San.
He never wanted to see Lu Ren get involved in that precious land.
So after Lu Ren destroyed Shrek, Tang San probably used some method to move Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well away entirely, or used a higher-level method to completely hide it.
If anyone can find Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well on the Douluo Continent, then only Huo Yuhao can do it.
Lu Ren looked at Huo Yuhao: "With your talent and Fortune, as long as you are willing to look for it, you can find the hidden treasure land."
"So, I need you to help me get this done."
Huo Yuhao was silent.
He looked directly at Lu Ren, and then sighed for a long time, with a deep helplessness in his tone. "----I feel that I have been involved in a whirlpool that I can't even imagine."
"You mean, the God in heaven hid Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well just to be wary of you, so you need me to help you find it?"
"Not bad."
"Then I want to eat your fingers again----" Huo Yuhao said, his face turned a little whiter, "There are still ten of them!"
"Yes."
"The more important thing is the third one." Huo Yuhao's voice rose a little higher, "Why do you want me to forget everything about this transaction?"
"If I forget, how do I know what I'm supposed to do?"
"Am I going to eat your finger in a daze, look for something Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in a daze, and then forget all about it? What on earth are you planning?
66
Lu Ren looked at him with calm eyes and said slowly, "You seem to have forgotten your identity, Huo Yuhao."
"What identity?"
"Divine Nature Seed inside you."
Lu Ren's tone had a hint of reminder.
"Its owner is First-Level God, God of Emotion of the Divine Realm."
"And that God of Emotion's position is on the Deity team that is hostile to me."
"So I have to be wary of him. Once you know my plan, know my God Position, and know my layout, that God of Emotion may snoop on this information through Divine Nature Seed."
"I don't want my secret to be discovered by them in advance."
"Is this your Chaos Godhood?
Huo Yuhao said in surprise.
He finally understood why Lu Ren rushed to block the Divine Nature Seed as soon as he came in.
It turns out that all his trump cards and all his plans were to guard against the prying eyes of the Divine Realm.
Lu Ren nodded. "Not bad."
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, and then asked another key question, "So about me Ascension to the Divine Realm - how do I ascend?"
"Don't forget, the condition for my ascension is to become the strongest person in the Douluo Continent."
He looked at Lu Ren with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
"As long as you are still here, I will never be able to achieve this condition, and naturally I will not be able to ascend!"
"This condition cannot be solved by shielding one Divine Nature Seed for me."
"It's very simple." Lu Ren said with a relaxed expression, "Isn't it enough that I die on the Douluo Continent in an honorable manner?"
Huo Yuhao's pupils shrank suddenly. "What did you say?!"
"As long as I die, you will automatically meet the conditions for ascension." Lu Ren said indifferently, "Douluo Continent, the title of the strongest will naturally fall on you."
"At that time, the Divine Nature Seed in your body will sense that the conditions are met, and the call of the Divine Realm will come accordingly, and you will be able to the Ascension to the Divine Realm naturally.
Huo Yuhao looked at him in shock. After a while, he squeezed out a few words from his throat. "You mean Feigning Death, lied to them?!"
"Hmm.
Huo Yuhao was silent for a long time, with his head lowered, his fingers unconsciously clenching the corners of his clothes, and his mind was racing.
Feigning Death----
Deceived Divine Realm----
Let everyone think Lu Ren is dead----
Then he Huo Yuhao achieved the conditions for ascension----
This plan sounds crazy, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
With the capabilities of Lu Ren, it is easy to create a seamless Feigning Death scene.
Moreover, this plane of his is bound to the origin. As long as he wants, he can continue to exist in another form at any time.
After a long while, Huo Yuhao finally spoke cautiously, "You said this was a transaction, right?"
"I can help you, but can you help me with anything?"
"Help me ascend smoothly?"
"But my ascension conditions have been solved by your Feigning Death plan, so besides that, what else can I get from you?"
"You can't let me eat ten of your fingers in vain and have to work hard for you to find something Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, right?"
Lu Ren looked at him and suddenly showed a meaningful smile.
"I can help your mother come back to life.
66
The air froze at this moment.
Huo Yuhao seemed to be struck by thunder.
The whole person froze in place, his pupils shrank violently, his lips trembled, and it took him several breaths before he uttered a sound, "What did you say?!"
He looked at Lu Ren in disbelief, and his voice changed tone. "You fart! My mother has been dead for many years, how can she be resurrected?!"
"You told me she can be resurrected? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?!"
He was shaking with excitement, and his eyes turned red for a moment.
His mother's death was the deepest scar in his life and the source of all the pain in his childhood.
He had prayed countless times in his inner fantasy world that his mother was still alive.
Now what Lu Ren said was like a knife, piercing the deepest wound in his heart.
"Your mother is not completely dead." Lu Ren said calmly.
Huo Yuhao's breathing suddenly stopped.
"Because your mother's soul has been taken up to the Divine Realm by a Deity in heaven."
"Her soul is still alive, but trapped in the Divine Realm."
"The other party will use your mother's soul as a threat to blackmail you."
"Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. The god's idea is to take this opportunity to win over you and make you his right-hand man."
"After all, with your talent and Fortune, it's worth his effort."
Huo Yuhao stood there, his hands shaking violently.
There was a roar in his mind, his mother's voice and smile, his heart-rending despair when he looked at his mother's cold body——
All the memories came up like a flood, drowning him.
Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with monstrous murderous intent, almost turning into real flames spurting out. "A Deity in the sky threatens me with my mother's soul----who is it?!"
Lu Ren looked at him and said, "God King, Tang San."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's whole figure was like a tiger that was set on fire, and the momentum all over his body exploded violently at that moment.
The emotions surging in his chest almost burned through his sanity.
Tang San.
How could you not know this name, Huo Yuhao?
That is the most dazzling genius in the Douluo Continent's tens of thousands of years of history, one of the first Shrek Seven Monsters in the Shrek Academy, the successor of the legendary Sea God and Asura God Dual Godhood, and the supreme totem of faith in the hearts of countless Soul Master.
Huo Yuhao was also a student of the Shrek Academy.
Although that memory has now been crushed to ashes by Lu Ren himself, deep in his heart, that name still has a heavy weight.
But now, Lu Ren told him that God King of the Divine Realm, the being who was regarded as a god by countless people, actually detained his mother's soul in the Divine Realm, using it as a chess piece, a bargaining chip, and a tool to blackmail him?
"Why would he do this?" Huo Yuhao's voice was hoarse. "My mother is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who has not even awakened Martial Soul! Why did Tang San target her? Why?!"
Lu Ren looked at his appearance, his tone was still calm. "Because of you."
"Me?"
Lu Ren said, "Because you Huo Yuhao are the Child of Luck of this continent."
"Your talent, your potential, and the ray of karma in you that is favored by heaven and earth have made those beings in the Divine Realm notice you early."
"Tang San connected Huo Yun'er's soul to the Divine Realm just to have a trump card that can manipulate you before you grow up."
"Of course, this may not all be malicious."
"With Tang San's temperament, he is more inclined to win over you."
"And you happen to be the one he likes. Connecting your mother's soul is both a threat and a gift."
"When he throws out the bargaining chip of "your mother is fine with me" in the future, can you still refuse his solicitation?"
Huo Yuhao's lips trembled.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it, as if he was using this breath to suppress the killing intent and hatred surging in his chest.
After a long time, he opened his eyes. The madness in his eyes had receded, replaced by a kind of cold indifference. "Deal——I took it."
He raised his head and looked directly into Lu Ren's eyes. "When you go to the Divine Realm in the future, you must help me save my mother's soul!"
"She is the most important person in my life. If you can really resurrect her, I can do anything you want!"
"This is part of the deal." Lu Ren nodded, his tone calm and determined, "I will resurrect your mother, and you will do things for me."
"Fair and just, no child or old man should be bullied."
"Now that you agree, our transaction Binding Vow is established."
"Whoever tries to cheat will do so at their own risk."
Huo Yuhao was silent.
Because just when Lu Ren said these words, Huo Yuhao could feel that there was a cursed power in Mei Mei, binding him to Lu Ren.
And after listening to what Lu Ren said, the power of this curse deepened.
This is the Binding Vow established between the two parties.
Lu Ren revealed the information of Binding Vow, which is a type of public information and deepens the power of Binding Vow.
This is also a pit previously set by Lu Ren for Xuan Zi, who was too dead to die.
Huo Yuhao He stretched out his right hand and opened his palm. "Come on, I'm ready."
Lu Ren looked at him, didn't say anything, just raised his hand again.
This time, Lu Ren held his five fingers empty, and with a crisp sound of bone dislocation, nine fingers fell off from the base of his palm one by one. Together with the one that was broken off before, ten fingers were suspended in front of him, lined up in a row.
"Eat it," Lu Ren said, "Take it one piece at a time, don't choke."
Huo Yuhao's face turned a little pale again, but he gritted his teeth, reached out and took the first finger, closed his eyes, and swallowed it in one gulp.
The moment the finger entered the mouth, there was no fishy smell of flesh and blood as expected, but instead a warm current flowed down the throat and into the abdomen.
Immediately afterwards, a huge force exploded from his stomach, pouring into his limbs and bones like a flood, his Meridians, his Sea of Consciousness.
He groaned, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, but he quickly gritted his teeth and held on.
Although the power was turbulent, it was not violent. Instead, it seemed as if it had found its home and meekly integrated into the origin of his soul.
The second root, the third root, the fourth root——
One after another.
Huo Yuhao Every time he swallowed one, the aura on his body became stronger. When the tenth finger was swallowed into his belly, his whole body was covered with a faint halo.
The halo circulated erratically, intertwined with the Asura's Eye, Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul and the three Soul Core in his body, but there was no conflict at all. Instead, there was a strange sense of harmony.
It was as if that power had quietly integrated into his soul and became a part of him.
"How do you feel?" Lu Ren asked.
Huo Yuhao moved his hands and feet, feeling the new power in his body, with a complicated expression on his face. "----I can't tell."
"It seems like there's something extra, but it seems like nothing has changed."
"That's right." Lu Ren nodded.
"Now, for number three, I need you to forget the entirety of this deal."
Huo Yuhao was startled. "But if I forget everything, how can I do anything? I don't even know where Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is, and I can't even remember your plan, I----"
"You don't need to remember." Lu Ren interrupted him, "You just need to know. When you get out, you will naturally know what to do."
"As for now----"
Lu Ren raised his hand and pressed it on Huo Yuhao's face.
"Let me keep this memory for you."
"Wait----"
Huo Yuhao What else wanted to say, but the next moment, I just felt a "buzzing" sound in my head, the scene in front of me shook a few times, and then everything returned to normal.
Then a gate opened, sending Huo Yuhao directly out of this plane.
Douluo Continent.
Huo Yuhao was lying on the grass somewhere, looking at everything around him blankly.
"I--why am I here? What is this place?"
"Am I already dead?"
Huo Yuhao scratched his head, feeling like he had forgotten something very important, but he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried.
He looked up at the sky, and then used Spiritual Detection to cover the surrounding area----
But it still failed to remind him of where this place was.
"What a strange place. I remember I was killed by Lu Ren in Star Luo City----"
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just muttered, "That's weird."
After complaining, Huo Yuhao left.
It's just that the direction he left, for some reason, happened to be the location of Sunset Forest----
