The blessed light gradually faded, and the majestic voice of the Sea God resounded once more:
" Underworld King, you have one last wish. Speak, whatever it is, and I will grant it for you."
Huo Yuhao gently shook his head. "The third one, I haven't thought about it yet, so let's keep this wish, Sea God."
Sea God looked slightly surprised. "Oh? Now you're less hostile towards my Sea God Island. Can I know why?"
A bitter smile curved Huo Yuhao's lips. "I have never harbored any hostility towards Sea God Island, it's just that..." His smile held a hint of sadness. " Sea God, everyone, farewell."
When Bo Saixi heard that Huo Yuhao was leaving, her heart suddenly trembled.
This was the first time she had ever wanted to keep someone—such a strong desire to keep him. But could she really do it?
" Underworld King, please wait!" Bo Saixi finally couldn't help but speak up.
Huo Yuhao actually stopped.
The gods in the Divine Realm looked in Bo Saixi's direction, thinking, "It seems the show isn't quite over yet."
Huo Yuhao slowly turned around, his black hair fluttering in the sea breeze. "High Priest, is there anything else?"
Bo Saixi gazed into his deep eyes, her voice trembling slightly. "Those things in the illusion, you..."
"All illusions are but fleeting reflections in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water." Huo Yuhao interrupted her, his tone calm yet distant. "Now that we've escaped the illusion, High Priest, let's part ways here."
"Could it be..." Bo Saixi pressed, unwilling to give up, "That the emotions you invested in the illusion were all fake too?"
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly, but his gaze towards Bo Saixi contained too much. In fact, he understood that he was about to reach that point, and this timeline was also about to reach that point.
The story in this timeline will end when Tang San inherits the Sea God and the Spirit Hall is completely defeated.
Even if the feelings are real, what can he do? Can he change the laws of time? He is currently trying his best to love the people in this time and space. If one day he really leaves, it will take a full ten thousand years, and...
And... after this parting, we'll probably never see each other again.
"Why don't you say anything?" Bo Saixi's voice choked with emotion. "Are you just going to leave without a word?"
Huo Yuhao sighed softly, his tone calm yet deliberately distant. "The illusion we experienced earlier was a test for us. During that test, I did indeed fall in love, but at that time, I had no memory of it, and neither did you."
"Could the High Priest of Sea God Island be so easily swayed by such illusions? I am but a stranger you've met a few times."
Bo Saixi walked forward unsteadily and said, "How many times have we met? From our first encounter to falling in love, and then to staying together, we've been through nine whole years together."
Tell me, how many times have we met?
Huo Yuhao looked away, his voice low and deep. "I have a lover, she's from the Spirit Hall, and they're still waiting for me. So, let's just consider this a beautiful dream."
"Besides, I could tell from the beginning that the High Priest already had someone he loved."
That's exactly what the key point is.
Huo Yuhao Tang Chen that in the original history, Bo Saixi liked Tang Chen, but Tang Chen went to the Slaughter City and was possessed by the Bat King. This relationship was not brought up again until Tang San appeared.
"I'm best at sensing other people's emotions," Huo Yuhao continued, his gaze seemingly able to see through people's hearts. "During our previous encounter, I sensed that you were longing for a certain figure."
"Since the High Priest already has someone he loves, why... take this illusion as real?"
Tears finally streamed down Bo Saixi's face, her gaze gradually becoming unfocused, as if something within her heart had shattered completely.
"I have obtained what I wanted. Now... I ask for nothing more." Huo Yuhao's voice was calm and undisturbed. "Farewell." No one knew how turbulent Bo Saixi's heart was at this moment.
Huo Yuhao raised his hand and gently slashed, tearing space apart like a piece of cloth, revealing a deep rift before him. He stepped into it, and in the instant before his figure disappeared, he turned back for one last look.
Then, they left completely.
He's gone.
This time, he did not return to the Spirit Hall, but instead returned to his original timeline.
There are so many things that haven't been done yet, and now is the time to start preparing to do them.
Back in the original timeline, in Huo Yuhao's small villa.
Inside Gu Yuena's room.
Huo Yuhao said to Gu Yuena, " Na'er, our plan is about to begin. Now is the key to enhancing your strength. Let's go to Dragon Valley."
Gu Yuena nodded.
As their hands clasped tightly, an extraordinary phenomenon occurred: the majestic phantoms of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King simultaneously appeared behind them. And at the point where the Twin Dragons converged, an even more magnificent phantom of Dragon God, shimmering with nine-colored light, appeared and disappeared! The location of Dragon Valley was then locked.
Once the coordinates of Dragon Valley were locked, spatial power surged instantly.
The next moment, the two found themselves in a separate little world. The air here was filled with an extremely dense dragon aura, and every inch of the land was imbued with the majestic aura of the ancient Dragon Clan.
Dragon Valley contains extremely rich dragon energy. Here, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena's auras gradually became stronger, just like Ultraman Tiga was able to absorb the light of those ancient warriors.
Regarding their increase.
And because they sensed the aura of the Dragon God formed by the fusion of the Silver Dragon King.
The Dragon God's soul did not cause too much trouble.
After exploring the core area of this sacred land of the Dragon Clan, Gu Yuena successfully found the Dragon God Core that shimmered with nine-colored light. The moment she touched the core, the entire Dragon Valley resonated with it.
What is even more moving is the presence of countless Dragon Clan souls slumbering here, including the remnants of the ancient Dragon Clan such as the Mountain Dragon King.
Sensing the pure Dragon God's Power within Huo Yuhao, they all poured their remaining strength into him without reservation. Even the Dragon God's divine soul sent down a wisp of its primordial divine power, merging into his body.
Huo Yuhao gained a lot from this trip: the complete dragon bones of the Mountain Dragon King, many Dragon Clan treasures... and his Fire-Tipped Spear finally had the opportunity to be strengthened again.
After obtaining the Dragon God's core and power, the two returned.
Upon returning to her residence, Gu Yuena immediately went into seclusion to refine the Dragon God Core. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao began to integrate newly acquired Dragon Clan materials and divine power into the Fire-Tipped Spear, initiating a new round of attribute enhancement.
The battle between nations is about to cease because of Huo Yuhao's plan; now, they are just waiting for the right moment.
Everything is about to end.
