Huo Yuhao remained silent.
In the tide of this era, his and Tang San's identities are no longer a secret.
He took a deep breath, then slowly reached up and wiped his face, revealing his true appearance.
After many years, Huo Yuhao finally saw the light of day again.
"Since that's the case, then I won't hide it anymore." Huo Yuhao looked at Yun Ming. "I am Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao from ten thousand years ago, and also the last human to become a god in these tens of thousands of years, as you all know."
Yun Ming and Yu Qitian looked at each other and sighed.
"I can't believe that one day we'll actually meet a legend in the Soul Master World."
"If I had been born in the same era as you, I would have loved to challenge you." Yun Ming raised a hand to rub his temples. "But I never imagined we would meet in this way."
Huo Yuhao looked up and stared directly at him:
"Let's get straight to the point. I don't really deserve these compliments. My story from ten thousand years ago has ended, and it wasn't as spectacular as you imagine. So, what kind of help does Shrek need from me now?"
Yun Ming took a deep breath, digesting the information Huo Yuhao had brought him, and said:
"I have read the report on the tragic state of the Clear Sky Sect."
"According to the information provided by Yu Longyue, Tang San's immortality relies on the life force bestowed upon him by the Life Core of Douluo Star."
"And this vitality is taken from us, these living beings."
" Tang San's immortality was shattered once by the Yu Longyue, which led to the entire Clear Sky Sect being drained of their life force, forcing them to perish."
"Unsurprisingly, the next ones will be people from the Tang Sect, and then people from our Shrek Academy."
"Therefore, Yu Longyue wants you to find a way to take control of the Golden Tree from Ah Yin, and to ensure that Tang San cannot drain the life force of anyone in the Shrek Academy."
In the past, Yun Ming would have spoken of Tang San with great respect when the topic came up.
Now, Yun Ming completely disregarded him and even wanted to personally step in and slap him hard across the face.
The person who possessed the body of the Clear Sky Sect used the lives of ordinary people as hostages, draining the life force of all living beings to provide for his own immortality. He also used his so-called grand plan to lure the Abyss to Douluo Star, leading to this Abyss resistance war that lasted for more than a thousand years.
Countless people were killed or injured by him.
Even the Golden Tree requires the souls of its past masters to sustain it.
Countless generations of sect leaders, whose cultivation was enough to connect heaven and earth, chose to dedicate their own souls to the Golden Tree, just so they could protect Shrek Academy for a little longer.
But to everyone's surprise, Ah Yin actually managed to use him...
If it weren't for the fact that they weren't from the same era, Yun Ming would really like to travel back 20,000 years and have a good fight with Tang San.
"... To be honest, we have no way to deal with Tang San's immortality right now." Huo Yuhao sighed. "Unless Yu Longyue can become a god, but he also told me about his current cultivation problem; he's stuck at Level 79."
"I suspect that it was the Plane Master Tang Hao, who exerted his power, using the entire Plane Power to suppress Yu Longyue, preventing her from advancing further in her cultivation."
"It's also possible that Yu Longyue's cultivation level has reached the limit of the entire Douluo Star, preventing him from breaking through to Level 80."
"Another possibility is that Yu Longyue needs a huge amount of energy to break through to the Soul Douluo level, possibly even to the point of draining the entire Douluo Star."
"What can we do then?" Yun Ming frowned. " Yu Longyue's cultivation is stuck, so he can't become a god..."
"There is a way. Isn't Yu Longyue trying it now?" Huo Yuhao suddenly laughed. "I've already mentioned the three possibilities. What Yu Longyue is trying is the energy aspect."
"It's impossible to drain Douluo Star dry, but right now, doesn't our Douluo Star still have planes that have been invaded by the Abyss?"
"You mean... if you drain the Abyss Plane dry, Yu Longyue can break through to become a god?!" Yun Ming's body trembled.
"Yes, that's why he joined the Blood God Legion as soon as he turned eighteen. Otherwise, given his personality, he would have delayed it for a while, or at least arranged everything himself before participating." Huo Yuhao nodded.
"Instead of simply handing us a plan outline and expecting us to complete it ourselves."
Huo Yuhao had always known Yu Longyue's personality; he was someone who wanted to do everything himself and would avoid asking others for help if possible.
But that would be exhausting. If one person has to do so much, even the most capable person would be worn out.
Throughout history, this is how those who are overworked die.
"If Yu Longyue becomes a god, that will solve the problem. That's the first plan. But is there a backup plan?" Yun Ming pressed. "What I mean is, Tang San and the others might not let Yu Longyue become a god so easily. Tang Hao, as the Plane Master and Second-Level Deity, even if he's wary of Yu Longyue's trump cards, won't just stand by and watch him become a god."
"Yes, so they must be plotting something in secret." Huo Yuhao nodded firmly. "After Tang San was defeated by Yu Longyue, he developed a mental demon, which made it almost impossible for him to become a god. Yu Longyue also forced out all the divine power within him. So, Tang San, who seems to be the most threatening, is actually almost powerless in front of Yu Longyue. But if we go up to fight him, our chances of winning will be extremely low."
"Most importantly, there's Tang Hao. As the Plane Master, he's capable of countless things, and he might even be secretly orchestrating our fate."
Yun Ming narrowed his eyes, recalling what Yu Longyue had said, "According to Yu Longyue, we are all tainted by his karma, so Tang Hao shouldn't be able to affect us."
"Yes, and the Golden Tree is the Core of Life this plane, which is exactly where Ah Yin is... So I've figured out how to deal with the Golden Tree."
Huo Yuhao suddenly said, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
"Do you know anything about this? Tang Wulin is Tang San's son?"
Yun Ming and Yu Qitian nodded in unison, indicating that they understood.
"We'll place Tang Wulin in front of the Golden Tree. He has Tang San's blood flowing through his veins, and his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul is still intact. This will surely attract Ah Yin's attention. Let's see if Tang Wulin's grandmother is willing to heal her grandson."
Yun Ming and Yu Qitian looked at each other in bewilderment.
"And it can also heal Tang Wulin's injuries at the same time?"
"That's right!" Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers. "Don't forget, Yu Longyue saved Tang Wulin many times, and he also has karma related to Yu Longyue."
"As long as Ah Yin saves him, I can contact Yu Longyue through some means and have him use one-third of the power of the Plane Master to sever Ah Yin from the Golden Tree."
"However, this isn't 100% guaranteed to succeed... The success rate isn't high, and we might even need to use the Dragon God's Power within Yu Longyue. So we'll have to ask Yu Longyue's opinion to see if he's willing to use this method." Huo Yuhao thought about it carefully and then shook his head.
"Besides that, I have another way, a relatively safer method."
"That would be to grant Tang Wulin the status of the Child of Nature. In this way, with the power of one-third of the Plane Master in the Yu Longyue, plus Tang Wulin's status Child of Nature, we should be able to protect the Shrek members from having their life force drained by Tang San."
"This method is feasible, but what if Tang San comes to Shrek in person?" Yu Qitian suddenly asked.
Huo Yuhao looked at Yun Ming: "Then let Yun Ming show his power. I believe that with Yun Ming's strength, even if Tang Hao doesn't make a move, Tang San is definitely no match for Yun Ming now."
"What if Tang Hao makes a move?" Yun Ming possessed absolute confidence. Even if his opponent was Tang San, as long as they didn't have divine power, Yun Ming feared no one.
"No, he definitely won't. His last move was already very risky. Although only Yu Longyue can rival him, if he strikes first, he will definitely force Yu Longyue to reveal his trump card and fight him head-on."
"The situation will inevitably end in a lose-lose situation, and I believe Tang Hao wouldn't want to see that outcome either."
"Therefore, Tang Hao's primary goal right now should be to deal with Yu Longyue, and dealing with us should be his secondary goal."
"However, dealing with Yu Longyue will not be possible in less than a few years, because the preparations required will be extensive, and we only have these few years left."
"If we waste these few years, we'll probably hold Yu Longyue back."
After analyzing the situation, Huo Yuhao looked at them.
Which method do you want to choose?
Yun Ming and Yu Qitian said in unison:
"The second one, I guess."
"First, heal Tang Wulin's injuries, then I'll go fetch Zhen Hua and make Tang Wulin the second Divine Craftsman," Yun Ming said in a deep voice. "That way, Yu Longyue can acquire her Four-Word Battle Armor as quickly as possible, and we'll have a better chance of success then."
"Why not let Zhen Hua forge the Yu Longyue?" Huo Yuhao finally couldn't help but ask this question.
Yu Qitian finally explained:
"Because... he's unwell and can no longer forge Four-Word Battle Armor."
Huo Yuhao sighed.
"It seems we really need to find a way to separate the Golden Tree from the Shrek Academy first, otherwise, if the Golden Tree chooses to drain our life force, there's really nothing we can do about it."
