The process of acquiring the Soul Ring went even more smoothly than expected.
With Di Tian's assistance, Huo Yuhao and the others found the most suitable Soul Ring for Di Qiu'er with almost no effort.
Not only that, before they left, Di Tian also gave them a lot of Gold of Life, which was considered a great favor. It wasn't really Di Tian who gave it to them; it was purely what Huo Yuhao wanted. He just reached out and asked for it. This father-in-law really gave it to him.
--Afterwards, this should have been a cause for celebration.
But Huo Yuhao remained frowning.
Within his Time Sea of Consciousness, the ancient bell tolled more and more urgently, as if urging him on, making Huo Yuhao extremely anxious.
The clanging sound kept going on and on.
Each sound seemed to strike his soul, carrying an undeniable force.
"It seems... we can't delay any longer."
That evening, after returning to the villa, Huo Yuhao quickly arranged for his clones to ensure that his absence would not arouse suspicion. Then, he took a deep breath and stepped into the torrent of time and space once again.
Such trips have been very beneficial to him. Each time, he is like a reconcile with fate, traveling through different timelines, rewriting predetermined tragedies, and making up for irreparable regrets.
--This is perhaps the magic of time, changing everything that cannot be changed.
It's not just about being powerful, but about being able to give people a second, third... even countless chances to save things that shouldn't have been lost.
Regret, however painful, will always happen; it is inevitable. But if someone has the power to help others turn this inevitability into a future impossibility, then there will be far fewer regrets in the world.
Huo Yuhao is becoming increasingly adept at wielding the power of time, which may be an opportunity, a special opportunity, an opportunity to become a god. However, he does not intend to become a god in this way, at least not now.
Huo Yuhao also understood that this timeline was different from the previous ones. Although it was initiated by the Time Sea of Consciousness and himself, this timeline journey was definitely special, he had a feeling about it.
"What... will it be this time?"
When Huo Yuhao opened his eyes again, the scene before him stunned him.
--The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? This place was indeed somewhat embarrassing for him.
The spring water, a mixture of scorching heat and extreme cold, churned before my eyes, and a rich sense of life rushed towards me.
How did it get here?
He quickly concealed his aura, silently activating his Simulation Soul Skill, and instantly disappeared into the environment.
The reason, as you might ask, is that his divine sense detected something, and his gaze caught sight of two figures beside the spring—
A boy and a girl.
The girl hugged the boy tightly, as if she were crying.
Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly contracted.
That was...
He and Qiu'er.
Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly contracted as he stared intently at the blue-haired Wang Qiu'er in front of him.
--Blue hair?
--How is that possible?
In his memory, since her rebirth, Qiu'er had always had brilliant blonde hair, as dazzling as the sun. How could she have blue hair, unless...
"Am I... back in the original timeline?"
His mind was buzzing, countless fragments of memory surged up, only to be disrupted by some invisible force.
"What exactly happened...?"
Carrying the unconscious " Original Huo Yuhao " on his back, Wang Qiu'er sped towards the Shrek Academy. Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, suppressed the chaos in his heart, and silently followed.
With his current strength, his Simulation Soul Skill have already reached a state of perfection. Even if Titled Douluo came, he wouldn't be able to detect his presence.
After following them all the way to the Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao did not go any further but returned directly to the Undead Demiplane.
He sat on the dark throne, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrests, his brows furrowed.
"Something's not right... Teacher, I always feel like this world is different from ours. What do you think?"
Electrolux's spiritual form slowly emerged, his aged voice echoing in the empty hall. "This world is indeed different from the past."
Huo Yuhao suddenly looked up. "Teacher, you felt it too?"
Electrolux nodded. "Something's not right."
Huo Yuhao stood up and paced back and forth. "Moreover, Qiu'er clearly had a lot to say to those guys just now, yet she so easily sent me in to heal. I remember those guys initially suspected that Qiu'er and I had some kind of affair, but they were speechless after Qiu'er refuted them."
He became increasingly agitated as he spoke, "Wang Dong'er chased after me too; she didn't initially place me in the Sea God Pavilion. Everyone clearly didn't believe me at the time, so what exactly happened?"
Huo Yuhao slammed his fist on the armrest of the throne, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes. "Damn it, this isn't the original timeline at all! It's deviated from the predetermined trajectory. How many variables will appear later? The series of variables that follow, that's what worries me."
He suddenly stopped, his voice lowering. "Is this 'me'... still me?"
Electrolux floated in front of him. "It's you, but not entirely."
"What does the teacher mean?"
"A parallel universe," Electrolux said, emphasizing each word. "We may have stumbled into a parallel universe that is similar to your original world, yet has crucial differences."
Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment, then slowly exhaled, his expression softening slightly:
"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time."
Electrolux's aged voice carried a hint of mockery. "I've never seen you with this expression since your rebirth. You kid, even if there are any changes, with your current strength, it shouldn't be difficult for you to overcome the hardships ahead."
He floated to Huo Yuhao's side, his illusory hand gently patting his shoulder, his tone tinged with a mixture of relief and pride. "I see, now, apart from Tang San descending to the mortal realm, looking at the entire mortal realm, including our teacher, even Super Douluo and Limit Douluo, you dare to challenge them all, right?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's tense brows finally relaxed, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up:
"My teacher understands me best."
He raised his hand, a wisp of grayish-white necromantic power gathering at his fingertips, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
Even if I really can't win, I've learned most of the techniques and skills you left me, so running away shouldn't be a problem.
Electrolux feigned dissatisfaction, looking somewhat disappointed that steel couldn't be made into gold:
"Seventy or eighty percent? I've imparted all my knowledge to you, and you've only learned seventy or eighty percent?"
Huo Yuhao chuckled softly, a sly glint in his eyes:
"I'd say it's about 70-80%... After all, I still haven't fully grasped the mysteries of your ' Great Tortoise Shell Technique '."
Electrolux seemed to be recalling something, and after a long while, he slowly said:
"Silly boy, the Great Tortoise Shell Technique is infinitely profound. Even I, your master, only obtained it by chance back then."
His voice suddenly turned serious:
"If you can thoroughly understand it, achieving godhood in the future will be no difficult task. You must cultivate diligently, Yuhao."
"By then--"
"You will truly be able to grasp the Sun Moon and pluck the stars from the sky; there is no one like me in this world."
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, his gaze firm, and nodded solemnly:
"Yes, teacher."
P. S.: Have you guessed what this new storyline is? You can keep reading, or comment to reveal the answer! How will Huo Yuhao perform with the Great Tortoise Shell Technique?
Little Electrolux? However, I still don't know how to actually use this Great Tortoise Shell Technique. I need to watch the Electrolux movie.
