"Me, the Child of Destiny?!"
Huo Yuhao pointed to himself with a bewildered expression, his incredulous look, combined with his current state, made him look somewhat adorable.
He quickly swallowed, looked at Lin Mo, and tried to confirm again, "Master, are you sure you're not mistaken? How could I possibly be the Child of Destiny?"
Lin Mo just looked at him calmly.
A sense of unease rose in his heart, and he immediately shifted his gaze to the other side, to the woman whom Lin Mo referred to as the Plane Master.
The woman nodded back at him.
Huo Yuhao's voice grew softer and softer until he fell silent. He slowly lowered his head, his gaze fixed on his toes, his hands clenching the hem of his clothes tightly.
After a long while, he finally raised his head, met Lin Mo's gaze, took a deep breath, and asked, "Master, I've been reflecting on my experiences lately. If there's anything about me that truly fits the identity of the Child of Destiny, it's meeting you and Brother Sky Dream after the Star Dou Great Forest— "
Before this, my mother and I depended on each other for survival, and life was extremely difficult. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we experienced every kind of hardship imaginable.
At this point, Huo Yuhao's face was filled with bitterness. "How could there be Child of Destiny like me in this world?"
Shouldn't Child of Destiny be someone born with exceptionally strong talent for cultivation?
"Just like those storytellers say, how could a top genius who has just awakened his Martial Soul, with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls configuration, possibly be like me, a piece of trash with innate level one Soul Power?" Huo Yuhao murmured.
"Don't you already know the reason behind this?" Lin Mo smiled slightly.
At this point, Huo Yuhao's body suddenly froze, then he raised his head, his voice trembling. "It's the Sea God Tang San!"
Lin Mo nodded.
"Call----"
Huo Yuhao breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a knot in his heart had finally been untied.
However, the cracking sound of his clenched fist betrayed his current mood, which was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Gu Yuena, who had been listening silently to everything and had roughly figured out what was going on, couldn't help but let out a cold snort, her tone full of sarcasm.
"This Sea God Tang San's ambition is truly immense."
She said, "Ten thousand years ago, I was lucky enough to be chosen by the plane Child of Destiny, carrying the power of heaven and earth, and achieved the Dual Godhood of the Sea God and the Asura God. If I'm still not satisfied, then so be it."
Ultimately, he walked the line between the rules and single-handedly brought all his family and friends to the Divine Realm!
In this situation, he was still so greedy as to plot to seize the Life Core of the Douluo Continent and the Plane Master.
Isn't that a bit too ungrateful and lacking in gratitude?
"Now they actually dare to try and control the development of the Douluo Continent plane?! Do they really think Douluo Continent is their own backyard?!"
They see a promising talent and want to snatch him away and keep him for themselves.
"With such a huge appetite, aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth!"
Lin Mo ignored Gu Yuena's complaints and waited silently, giving his little apprentice Huo Yuhao some time to process what was happening.
Just a moment later, the extremely familiar, flirtatious voice of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm rang in Huo Yuhao's mind once again.
At this moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could no longer care about Gu Yuena beside her. That extremely peculiar voice slowly echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind, "Fool, still don't you understand?"
Huo Yuhao's spiritual body hovered above his own Sea of Consciousness, his youthful face still showing some confusion.
After being nourished by the Spiritual Origin of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, his Sea of Consciousness was already several times wider than that of other Soul Master of the same level.
At this moment, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in the Sea of Consciousness twisted its round body and said with exasperation, " Yuhao, Yuhao, it seems that not only you, but even your Brother Sky Dream has been completely dealt with by that God King Tang San!"
"Otherwise, why do you think you had such a difficult childhood?"
In the end, even your mother, who was your only support, left you. Think carefully about your journey so far. If your master hadn't interfered, you would have met those two humans named Bei Bei and Tang Ya in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Given your personality, once you receive their goodwill towards you, you will inevitably choose to join their sect, the Tang Sect.
"There's a high probability that you'll eventually choose to the Shrek Academy because of their invitation."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's tone grew increasingly impatient. "Both the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy are forces passed down from Tang San."
"Given your personality, if you really join the Tang Sect or Shrek Academy, you'll definitely be branded as belonging to them in the future."
Their tags.
From now on, there's a very high probability you'll "voluntarily" get on Tang San's chariot.
"Don't forget, with my brother and his God-Creation Plan, even without Bing'er's involvement, I'm at least 30% confident I can guide you to godhood!"
At this point, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's tone carried a hint of smugness, and the entire worm seemed to beam with pride. "Like now, if any deities take notice of your situation later, then the chances of us two ascending to the Divine Realm are almost one hundred percent."
"With just a few tricks, you can bring a future god under your control. If I were in that situation, I'd be tempted too!"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was still a little confused, and subconsciously nodded.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm flicked its tail and continued, "Even now, don't you understand?"
If your master hadn't intervened, taking you away from the vortex of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy and sending you to the Body Sect...
If you really continue to cultivate in the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, you're afraid that old cunning Tang San will completely take care of you."
"Later on, he'll probably sell you out, and you'll still have to count the money for him. In the end, your status with Tang San will be about the same as that of a urinating boy, right?"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao glared at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm with annoyance.
What kind of "urinating boy" is this? Brother Sky Dream is spouting nonsense again.
Although this was his Sea of Consciousness, Huo Yuhao did not believe that his seemingly secret communication with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could be hidden from the outside world.
However, after being disturbed by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao's thoughts became much clearer.
Things that were previously unclear suddenly became clear at this moment.
Everything can be strung together.
If it weren't for the fact that I awakened the Mutated Martial Soul Spirit Eyes, and that malnutrition resulted in my Innate Soul Power being only level one, then...
He and his mother wouldn't have lived such a miserable life in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
If my talent were stronger, I might not have been able to meet Brother Bei and Sister Xiao Ya in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Naturally, it would be impossible for him to choose to join the Tang Sect.
At most, like other students, he would study at the Shrek Academy for several years, graduate successfully, and then leave Shrek Academy to travel the continent.
Just like he had promised his mother.
But now, everything has changed. If it weren't for his master's intervention, he would probably be just as Brother Sky Dream said, with Tang San controlling not only his past but also his future.
If that's the case, then what's the difference between me and a puppet?
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao subconsciously gritted his teeth, Sheer Force calming his agitated emotions.
A moment later, he looked up at his master, who still had a smile on his face, and asked the question that concerned him most, "Master, is Tang San so sure that I will become a dutiful puppet in his hands?"
"Isn't he worried that I'll turn against him after I find out the truth?"
Hearing Huo Yuhao's indignant words, Lin Mo smiled. "Worry? Why should he worry?"
"With God King Tang San's abilities and cunning, arranging things for a mere Soul Master like you is an extremely simple matter."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao clenched his fists again, his face filled with Rage.
The feeling of being treated as a puppet and manipulated at will was absolutely terrible for him.
The glorious and majestic image of the Sea God that his mother had instilled in him had now completely collapsed in his eyes.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sneer inwardly, filled with disdain.
Even the most loyal followers of the Sea God at the Shrek Academy probably don't know that the Sea God they worship is actually such a ruthless and unscrupulous person in private!
" Tang Wutong, or Wang Dong, or Wang Dong'er, you should have seen her at the Shrek Academy before, right?" Lin Mo suddenly asked.
Huo Yuhao was taken aback, then shook his head violently.
Soon, Lin Mo raised his hand and waved it, and a light screen appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.
The screen displayed two remarkably similar figures, with strikingly similar hair color and appearance, resembling siblings.
"This is----"
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and began to search through his memories, trying to find where he had seen this figure before.
In a short while, Huo Yuhao had found the answer, and he exclaimed in surprise, "She's actually a woman?"
"Master, when I killed Dai Huabin at the Shrek Academy, I think I saw her once among the students watching the battle."
At the time, I thought it was my imagination, but I sensed an aura from her that resonated with my Martial Soul.
"I initially thought it was just my imagination, that I was mistaken. After all, my Second Martial Soul is quite special."
It was only after fusing the ice Martial Soul aura given to me by Brother Sky Dream, and with the help of Master Xue, that the Ultimate Ice element Martial Soul was born—"
"Under these circumstances, how could anyone possibly possess a soul fusion technique with me?"
Moreover, they were quite compatible, Huo Yuhao silently added in his mind.
At this point, Huo Yuhao looked at Lin Mo again, his face once more filled with confusion.
You are not mistaken.
Lin Mo nodded, " Wang Dong, or rather Tang Wutong who goes by the alias Wang Dong, does indeed possess Martial Soul Fusion Skill with you."
Moreover, the compatibility of your Martial Soul Fusion Skill is extremely high, reaching 100%!
Moreover, both of your Martial Soul can complete Martial Soul Fusion, and Tang Wutong also possesses Twin Martial Souls.
That's impossible!
Huo Yuhao instinctively denied it, saying, "My Second Martial Soul is uncertain. Before it's fully formed, even Brother Sky Dream doesn't know what my Second Martial Soul will be."
"How could he possibly possess Martial Soul Fusion Skill with both of my Martial Soul? And with a 100% fusion rate at that!"
Nothing is impossible.
Gu Yuena chuckled from the side, "This is probably how much Sea God Tang San, values you. A one-of-a-kind, customized Martial Soul Fusion partner."
In order to win you over, he even went so far as to create a wife for you with 100% compatibility.
If you didn't know the truth, you would definitely be influenced by this person and wholeheartedly Tang San's camp!
" Tang San is quite ruthless; he can even use his own daughter as a tool—" Gu Yuena remarked, her tone full of sarcasm.
This Sea God Tang San is indeed just like the one he saw ten thousand years ago, so ruthless and unscrupulous.
"Just like your Master Gu said."
Lin Mo smiled, "Following the predetermined path, if you successfully join the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, you will build a deep bond with Tang San's daughter Tang Wutong, during your time at the academy, and ultimately, the lovers will become a couple."
"Look, isn't this a beautiful story? The husband and wife ascended to the Divine Realm together, growing old together in happiness—isn't that wonderful?"
"Master, please stop teasing me," Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile.
"But I still want to know, if this is the only relationship we have, how can Tang San be sure that I will be 100% devoted to serving him?"
If I ascend to the Divine Realm and find out the truth about what happened to me, even if I don't become his enemy on the spot because of my spouse, I will never again serve him wholeheartedly as he envisions.
"Isn't that simple?"
Lin Mo spread his hands. "Then naturally Tang San has an absolute trump card against you. As long as he has it, you will have no choice but to submit."
"Don't be surprised, you've really been completely manipulated by Tang San. Even though you were enemies with Tang San before, once he revealed this Tang San card, you still had no choice but to side with him."
Upon hearing this, not only Huo Yuhao was stunned, but Gu Yuena and the Plane Master also became interested.
I'm curious what kind of Tang San has that could target Huo Yuhao and make him completely devoted to her.
"Your mother's soul."
Lin Mo's voice was extremely calm, but to everyone's ears, it was like Sunny Day.
"Master, you said my mother fell into Tang San's hands—" Huo Yuhao swallowed hard, his whole body trembling, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
This was something he never expected.
"Yes, that's right."
Lin Mo nodded. "When you were ten years old, not long after your mother died, her soul was taken from the Underworld to the Divine Realm by Tang San and fell into his hands."
"It's precisely because he has this trump card that Tang San isn't worried about your resistance at all."
"Your future wife, children, and even your mother are in his hands. How can you possibly resist him?"
How dare you defy him!
