"You're saying a Seven-Colored Divine Dragon helped you break free of Tang San's control, and then you fought Tang San in the Spatial-Temporal Turbulence and died together, before transmigrating here?"
Aolai City.
Yu Longyue stood with his arms folded, looking rather perplexed as he gazed at Huo Yuhao, who had turned back into a nine-year-old child.
"That's right. Tang San and I were both at the God King Realm. After breaking free of his control, I gave it everything I had, and that dog Tang San and I fell into the Spatial-Temporal Turbulence together. Then I came here."
Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, unwilling to accept it:
"Since I came here, Tang San must have come here too. I'm going to find him and take revenge. A blood debt must be paid in blood!"
"Then do you know where he is?" Yu Longyue asked.
"No. Why? Young master of the current Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, are you on Tang San's side?" Huo Yuhao eyed Yu Longyue warily. Yu Longyue was only a few years older than he was.
Yu Longyue, young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Nine years old, with Innate Full Soul Power at rank twenty and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. The quality of his Martial Soul was unprecedented in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. He had been rank twenty as soon as his Martial Soul awakened-a genius among geniuses.
The current sect master was his father, so the position of future sect master was certain to be his.
His cultivation advanced a thousand miles a day. Even if he did not cultivate, his Soul Power rose on its own every day. His outstanding talent was practically being pushed along by the heavens themselves.
He had now reached the Soul Ancestor level: a nine-year-old Soul Ancestor at rank forty-one.
That was the result of him slacking off every day, without even trying to cultivate. His cultivation had been pushed along the entire way.
If he had cultivated diligently, he would probably already have reached Soul King.
"Of course not. I rather hate Tang San myself. If someone's going after him, I'm more than happy to see it."
Yu Longyue shrugged. No matter what, he would never side with Tang San.
Nine years had passed since he transmigrated here.
Before transmigrating, he had stayed up late to finish reading parts one, two and three of Douluo Continent. He had still been lamenting how Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin, perfectly good people, had been ruined by Tang San as though he were training dogs, when he fell asleep against his will.
He had probably been too tired, though it was also possible he had dropped dead on the spot.
In any case, just before he dropped dead, he saw a Seven-Colored Divine Dragon.
The Seven-Colored Divine Dragon asked him, "If you were given a chance, would you be willing to overthrow Tang San's rule?"
Yu Longyue had not given it much thought at the time. He had said, "If I get the chance, I want to slap him, then slap Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin awake while I'm at it. They shouldn't let his dad brainwash them into becoming beasts who care only about honor while using dirty tricks. Especially Tang Wulin-he's such a good kid, and he's had it so rough."
And so the Seven-Colored Divine Dragon poured into Yu Longyue's body, leaving him with one last sentence:
"Very well. I shall entrust the Dragon Clan to you..."
The next second, Yu Longyue transmigrated straight to Douluo Continent.
He had even transmigrated and been born into the timeline of the third part, and his name was the same as Yu Longyue of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the role Tang Wulin played at the matchmaking tournament.
There were so many things to complain about at once that Yu Longyue did not know where to begin.
Fortunately, he had stayed up late to finish the story just before transmigrating, so he still remembered the plot in broad strokes.
"Speaking of which, how did you see at a glance that I was helping you?"
Yu Longyue found it strange. His acting had been pretty good, with all the innocence and childlike wonder he had put on. Even the people in his sect had not seen through him, his own father included.
When he came to Aolai City, he had happened to run into Huo Yuhao, who had fallen from the sky and landed right in front of him.
Who would have thought Huo Yuhao would see through Yu Longyue's true nature at a glance?
"You have that Seven-Colored Divine Dragon's divine presence inside you. There's no mistaking it. Don't worry, this presence is very distinctive; only I can sense it. And it's precisely because of that presence that your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is a God Level Martial Soul, and your Innate Full Soul Power is rank twenty. Your talent wasn't bad to begin with, and you were sure to have Innate Full Soul Power, but it was also because of this presence that you reached rank twenty."
A third eye, the Eye of Destiny, appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead. It gave off a faint golden glow as it remained fixed on Yu Longyue.
"Also, all of Douluo's fortune is now concentrated on you. It seems you're the child of fortune of this era."
"Don't blame me for being wary and testing you earlier. Even with that divine presence inside you and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, I still needed to know what your character and temperament were like before considering a partnership."
"And now you know?"
There was little expression on Yu Longyue's face.
Apparently, Huo Yuhao had no idea that he had transmigrated here, and took him entirely for the person chosen by the Seven-Colored Divine Dragon.
So no matter how he behaved, even if he acted like a little adult, Huo Yuhao would not think he was a transmigrator.
Instead, Huo Yuhao thought he was the person chosen by the Seven-Colored Divine Dragon, that his situation was probably the same as Huo Yuhao's and Tang San's, and that he had been sent by the Seven-Colored Divine Dragon to help Huo Yuhao.
So Huo Yuhao was not surprised that he knew about Huo Yuhao and Tang San.
The Eye of Destiny could see so much information, yet the one thing it could not see was that he was a transmigrator.
That was all thanks to the Seven-Colored Divine Dragon.
"Yes. I'm sorry for acting rashly and intending to kill you earlier."
Huo Yuhao glanced in the direction behind Yu Longyue.
"You came to Aolai City and met Tang Wulin. You did nothing to hurt him, and you even gave him a large sum of Federation Coins and secretly sent people to protect his parents."
Huo Yuhao paused, then continued:
"Although he's Tang San's son, Tang Wulin has done nothing wrong. You didn't involve an innocent person, which is acceptable. But I'm curious, why did you do it?"
Why?
Yu Longyue looked a little embarrassed.
Because...
After he had finally managed to slip out of the sect and come to Aolai City, he had wanted to meet Tang Wulin and confirm where they were in the story's timeline. So after he met Tang Wulin...
He had swiped the Golden Dragon King Seal from Tang Wulin's body.
Don't ask him how he swiped it.
He did not know either.
He had merely met Tang Wulin, and the two of them had passed out right there in the street.
When he woke up, he was in the hospital.
Then, as Yu Longyue lay in the hospital, he discovered that a Golden Dragon King Seal had appeared inside him...
Come to think of it, he seemed to have dreamed of the Seven-Colored Divine Dragon.
Presumably, the Seven-Colored Divine Dragon had transferred the Golden Dragon King Seal directly from Tang Wulin's body into his without harming him.
Tang Wulin was still alive and kicking without the Golden Dragon King Seal, but with the Golden Dragon King gone, how far he could go on the path of a Soul Master was entirely up to the heavens.
Perhaps separating the seal without harm was the power of a god.
As for Tang San's divine sense inside the seal, that seemed to have been erased as well.
For one thing, he was rather fond of Tang Wulin. The boy was not a bad person, after all, and there was also the story of his three-year burial of the dragons. For another, Yu Longyue felt somewhat guilty about destroying Tang Wulin's dream of becoming a powerful Soul Master right off the bat.
So he secretly gave Tang Wulin's family a large sum of Federation Coins and sent additional people to protect them, to keep Tang Wulin's parents from being captured by the Spirit Pagoda for research.
He supposed it was compensation.
"Don't ask me. You'd be better off asking yourself, 'Dai' Yuhao." Yu Longyue chuckled and asked in return, "So many of them trusted you and risked everything to help you become a god, and this is the result? Have you done right by them? And what about your teacher? Have you brought him back to life? Did you manage to avenge your mother?"
Huo Yuhao fell silent for a long while and lowered his head, his small body trembling slightly.
Yu Longyue slowly stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"Since you've turned back, it's not too late. It's getting dark, so come over to my place. My house is pretty big."
"Don't call me Dai Yuhao. My surname is Huo," Huo Yuhao said mildly. "As for the house you mentioned, is it in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, or..."
"Of course it's in Aolai City."
As though it were the most natural thing in the world, Yu Longyue led Huo Yuhao onward.
"The sect is a long way from here. No matter how much money I have, I don't have time to go back every day. Of course I bought a comfortable place to live here in the city."
"Thank you."
Huo Yuhao looked at Yu Longyue's back.
Yu Longyue's words made him even more determined to take revenge on Tang San.
Yu Longyue brought Huo Yuhao home, and as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw a little silver-haired girl looking at him with delight.
"Big brother, you're back!"
Huo Yuhao was puzzled. "Who is she?"
"Oh, she's Na'er. I mean, I ran into her by accident, and then she said I smelled really nice and she loved the scent on me, so she followed me home. Do you believe me?"
Huo Yuhao was looking at Yu Longyue a little strangely now.
Yu Longyue rubbed his nose, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
"All right, you don't believe me. I don't believe it myself."
