Huo Yuhao accompanied Huo Yun'er through a courtyard full of Netherworld Flower flowers, and his steps unconsciously became lighter.
"Mom, do you feel comfortable living here?" He tilted his head and said with caution in his voice, "If you feel uncomfortable, I will have someone change it for you."
Huo Yun'er smiled and stretched out his hand to straighten his untidy collar, "It's comfortable, how can it be uncomfortable? There are flowers and water here, and there are so many well-behaved little guys guarding it. It's more stable than when we lived in the Duke's Mansion."
She paused and then added softly, "The most important thing is that you are still with me now."
Huo Yuhao felt a sore nose and quickly lowered his head to hide the emotion in his eyes.
I can't just lose my temper in front of my mother, because next I have to help Lu Ren expand the territory of the Divine Realm.
What's more, he is now First-Level God of the Divine Realm, God of Emotion, and a being that countless people look up to.
But in front of this woman, he was always the child who wanted to protect his mother.
"Mom, don't worry, I will come back to see you often." He whispered.
Huo Yun'er nodded and didn't ask too much.
She has suffered too much in her life and has long since learned not to ask questions that she shouldn't ask.
As long as her son is safe and her life is stable, she is content.
Huo Yuhao supported his mother through a White Bone Corridor, and was about to take her to the residence arranged by Electrolux, when his footsteps suddenly stopped.
Not far ahead, a figure was facing away from them, squatting by the flower bed, carefully cultivating the soil for a faint blue flower.
The man was wearing an old robe that had been washed white, and he was tall but exuding an indescribable desolation.
He moved very slowly, as if he was doing something that required all his concentration, or as if he was using it to make himself forget something.
Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly shrank.
This back view was too familiar to him.
Even though so many years have passed, and even though he has died long ago, Huo Yuhao still recognizes him at a glance.
"----Dai Hao?"
As soon as the words came out, the figure suddenly froze.
He slowly turned around, revealing a much weathered face.
The once high-spirited White Tiger Duke who was in charge of the Star Luo Empire's iron-blooded army now seems to have aged twenty years.
The corners of his eyes were covered with fine wrinkles, and his temples were stained white with frost.
When he saw Huo Yuhao, his lips moved, and extremely complex emotions surged in his eyes.
Guilt, regret, pain, and a hint of cautious hope.
After a long time, he finally said in a hoarse voice, "Yuhao----I'm sorry."
This sentence of apology seemed to have been brewing in his heart for a long, long time.
Huo Yuhao stood there, looking at him expressionlessly.
"Weren't you already killed by Ju Zi?"
"Why are you alive again now?"
Dai Hao did not avoid his gaze, and shook his head with a wry smile, "It was Lu Ren who saved me."
"After Ju Zi killed me with his own hands, my body fell into his hands. He revived me and placed me here, saying that my only role now is to accompany your mother and take care of your mother."
After Dai Hao finished speaking, his voice became a little lower. "As for my punishment, I will witness the destruction of the Star Luo Empire with my own eyes."
"The things I have worked hard and protected all my life are all gone."
Dai Hao's bitter smile grew thicker, "My soldiers, my people—the country I was loyal to, are all gone."
"This is my punishment."
He stood by the flower bed, obviously still tall, but like a dead tree that had been drained of all its vitality.
Huo Yuhao was silent.
He looked at the man in front of him, and his heart was filled with indescribable emotions.
Hate?
Hateful.
He hated Dai Hao for his unfeeling towards his mother, he hated that as a husband he never fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband, and he hated that as a father he made himself and his mother suffer so much.
But the man in front of him is his biological father after all.
And Huo Yuhao can also see that although her mother said that the living environment in Undead Plane is very good, in such a big place, there are so many Undead Creatures wandering outside, and living alone will be lonely after all.
If Dai Hao can stay here with her, at least----she won't be so lonely anymore.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao suddenly understood.
Lu Ren destroyed everything Dai Hao cherished throughout his life, turning him from the aloof White Tiger Duke into a useless man who could only be trapped in this small place and accompany one woman.
For Dai Hao, this is a crueler punishment than death.
But at the same time, Lu Ren also gave Huo Yuhao a gift.
A person who can accompany his mother for him.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao felt a complex warmth in his heart.
That man is obviously so ruthless in what he does that makes people scared, but he always manages to do things in the most unexpected places, making people feel that he is actually very considerate.
It's just that Shrek's senior brothers and sisters, those comrades who once fought alongside him, all died at the hands of Lu Ren.
Huo Yuhao's eyes darkened.
He sighed and suppressed those complicated thoughts.
Now that things have happened, there is no use worrying about these things.
He has chosen this path and can only continue walking on it.
He raised his head, looked at Dai Hao, and said in a calm but firm tone, "I admit, you are a good general."
Dai Hao trembled, raised his head and looked squarely at his biological son, whom he had not met many times.
"But you are definitely not a qualified husband, nor a qualified father." Huo Yuhao continued, "From now on, the only thing you can do to atone is to accompany my mother well."
Dai Hao was silent for a long time, and finally nodded numbly. "----Okay."
Huo Yuhao didn't look at him again.
He turned around and walked up to Huo Yun'er, tidied her hair on the temples, and said in a very soft voice, "Mom, I'm leaving first. I have to go and help Lu Ren. You remember to take care of yourself. If you need anything, just ask Elder Yi, or Lu Ren who is lying here."
"I believe they will take good care of you."
Huo Yun'er took his hand and shook it hard. "Go, don't worry about me, and - you must ensure your own safety."
Huo Yuhao nodded, glanced at Dai Hao standing in the distance, and did not say a second sentence after all.
The next second, behind Huo Yuhao, a door slowly opened.
This made Huo Yuhao take a deep breath.
One second he had just thought of leaving, and the next second the door opened behind him.
What a mysterious method, Lu Ren.
"----Don't forget, my power is still in your body. Not only has it become a part of you Soul Spirit, but it has also helped you bear the emotional power of evil and hatred among the seven emotions." Lu Ren couldn't help but said silently.
"To a certain extent, my authority is higher than yours, so I can hear your inner thoughts."
Huo Yuhao:"???"
"Sometimes I really can't tell whether you are Lu Ren himself or his spiritual clone Soul Power."
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but said.
"Is this important?" Lu Ren sounded nonchalant, "You can understand it as multitasking. There is no such thing as a clone."
"Because part of my consciousness remains in my true body to cultivate my health, and part of my consciousness is in you."
"It's like a person can look at two computer screens in front of him at the same time, and also always pay attention to the messages on the mobile phone next to him----"
"What is a computer phone?" Huo Yuhao was even more confused.
"----Sorry, you just think I'm talking nonsense." Lu Ren sighed, realizing that what he just said was a bit of a drama, "To put it simply, I am resting while fighting you, do you understand?"
"Got it."
After getting the answer, Huo Yuhao turned around and stepped out of Undead Plane's door.
The light flows and the heaven and earth change.
When his body solidified again, he had returned to the Divine Realm.
But now Divine Realm is in chaos.
Far more messy than when Huo Yuhao left.
On the distant skyline, the golden Sea God's Power and the purple-black Power of Destruction intertwined and collided, tearing the entire Divine Realm Sky Manipulation into pieces.
The war between Tang San and Destruction God King has completely broken out.
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power swept across the battlefield, observing the situation, and frowned slightly for a moment.
On the Tang San side, Seven Elemental Gods have gathered together, their bodies are connected with divine light, and they are ready to support at any time.
The previous predecessor God of Emotion Rong Nianbing also stood beside Tang San with a solemn expression.
But over there at Destruction God King, it seemed much deserted.
None of the original sin gods who were supposed to help in the battle could appear on the battlefield because Lu Ren had drained them of their divine power.
God of Devastation and other Deity also seem to not be gathered together for some reason.
Under the circumstances, the battle situation turned strangely towards Tang San.
Huo Yuhao watched for a while, then whispered to Lu Ren inside his body, "What should we do next? It seems that the people on Tang San's side have the upper hand.
,"If this continues, Destruction God King might be defeated."
The next second, a chuckle came from Huo Yuhao's mind.
Lu Ren's voice was lazy. "You underestimate Destruction God King."
"Huh?" Huo Yuhao was stunned.
"Let them beat them." Lu Ren said calmly, "On our side, make our own preparations."
"What preparations?" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask.
Lu Ren said with a hint of long-suppressed edge, "Open Undead Gate."
"I want to officially invade Divine Realm."
Huo Yuhao is in a state of shock.
Hack Divine Realm?
Is it right here?
He subconsciously wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he heard Lu Ren add another sentence, "Give me your body."
"Next, you can only be a bystander."
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but did not refuse after all.
"----Okay."
He closed his eyes and handed over the initiative of his body.
The next second, he felt a familiar and overbearing force welling up from the depths of his consciousness, instantly taking over his limbs.
When he opened his eyes again, a pair of eyes had changed.
The black Cursed Seal spread from the cheeks, covering half of the face like a living creature.
The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, creating a Evil Qi awe-inspiring arc.
Lu Ren felt the abundant power in this First-Level God body, and instantly escaped and came to a hidden forest in the huge Divine Realm.
After feeling that there weren't many God Official around looking at this area, he slowly raised his right hand.
"Turn it on."
"Undead Gate!"
The moment he finished speaking, a huge gray-white Rift suddenly exploded in front of Lu Ren.
Rift expanded crazily and instantly turned into a majestic gate spanning the sky.
From inside the door came the roar of the Undead Legion, the roar of Bone Dragon, and the boundless breath of death.
Lu Ren smiled evilly, "Hahaha, Undead Army, which I have been preparing for a long time, now it is finally your turn to play a role!"
"Undead Army obeys the order, offers your strength, crushes Divine Realm Gate with me!"
"After today, all Divine Realm and Divine Power are in my hands!"
