( In the Undead Plane, as the Undead Fire swept by, Huo Yuhao's golden spiritual power suddenly surged, condensing into vertical killing intent patterns in his pupils. The Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, instinctively took a half step back, her dragon scales gleaming coldly under the oppressive force.)
"Cooperation is not a one-sided compromise." Huo Yuhao's voice seemed to be squeezed out from Ice Seal abyss, each word carrying a metallic coldness, " Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena— " He deliberately emphasized the surname, his gaze locking onto her like a hawk's, "You and Di Tian, listen up."
Di Tian was about to step forward to argue when Huo Yuhao's sudden Spiritual Shock forced him to kneel on one knee. "First, I will not tolerate any form of betrayal."
Huo Yuhao strode forward, his black cloak dragging on the ground with a screeching sound. "I won't let anyone get in my way, not even you. I can't guarantee you won't see the future I showed you and then help Tang San or Tang Wulin against me."
"Although it was entrusted to me by the Golden Dragon King, if my teammates all run off to the other side, then my battle will be meaningless."
"Insolence!" Di Tian suddenly raised his head, veins bulging on his dragon head in anger. " Huo Yuhao, how dare you doubt our master like this!"
"Doubt?" Huo Yuhao sneered, his eyes flashing with golden light, and an aura that even made the Silver Dragon King tremble exploded forth—"I have very principles."
His voice was low and deep, yet it reached their ears clearly, "If such a thing really happens, it won't be as simple as just killing you. I will wipe out all the Soul Beast tribes in the Star Dou Forest, leaving no one alive."
He quietly approached Gu Yuena, his eyes fixed on hers. They were very close. "Don't doubt my strength."
The Silver Dragon King instinctively clenched her hands, the blood seeping between her fingers freezing in mid-air. She could feel the real killing intent—this human before her would really do it, slaughtering the entire Soul Beast race.
However, the image of Wang Qiu'er sacrificing herself for him flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind. He thought to himself, "Hmph, I'm cooperating with you for Qiu'er's sake. Otherwise, what do I care about the life or death of your Soul Fighting Beasts?"
In reality, whether it's humans or Soul Beast, they all live by the laws of the jungle. Whoever is strong enough has the dominant voice. Currently, humans are able to cultivate into gods, which already far surpasses Soul Beast. After all, the Dragon God's curse has made it impossible for Soul Beast tribes to ever become gods again.
Of course, the other method, namely Huo Yuhao's method, is another matter entirely. If Gu Yuena becomes the Dragon God and possesses the power of the Dragon God, then whether or not Soul Beast can become gods is entirely up to her, even if the curse cannot be lifted.
At that time, a new Divine Realm and a new world will be created, where Soul Beast and humans will have no relation, unless humans become powerful enough to surpass Gu Yuena, the Dragon God.
Human development is undoubtedly rapid, but Soul Beast won't stay in their comfort zones for long. Just like Di Tian, the strong prey on the weak, and they'll be the same even without humans. When that time comes, whether they Soul Beast Soul Beast die will be their own business (what can they do about internal strife???)
(This part is a bit out of character, but I'm just treating it as something to have fun with.)
(If you dare to betray me, I'll kill you first, then the Soul Beast, and wipe you out completely.)
"Are you humiliating me?" The Silver Dragon King's voice trembled with humiliation; the pride of the Dragon Clan nearly drove her to a rage on the spot.
Huo Yuhao suddenly closed in, and the two were now only an arm's length apart.
The golden light in his eyes shone even brighter, like molten lava, mixed with a red killing intent. His golden pupils burned as if to ignite the entire world. That violent killing intent dwarfed even the aura of the Asura God: "This is not an insult, but a warning."
The Undead Legion, witnessing the king's majesty, all turned their gazes in his direction...
( In the Undead Plane, Di Tian gazed at the golden demonic flames surging in Huo Yuhao's eyes, his dragon spine suddenly arching uncontrollably—not out of vigilance in the face of a powerful enemy, but out of fear deep within his bloodline. The Silver Dragon King stared intently at Huo Yuhao.)
"What... what kind of power is this?" For the first time, Di Tian's voice trembled with a fear that he shouldn't have had.
This human kid is the biggest monster in the world.
As long as he roars at the sky, the whole world will respond to him. The killing intent emanating from his eyes is very strong, so strong that even the Dragon God cannot compare with him in this gaze. In fact, it was just that Nezha had possessed Huo Yuhao for a moment.
Huo Yuhao said slowly, "A mere little dragon, I'll skin you alive and tear your tendons out."
The Silver Dragon King suddenly retreated about ten feet, his purple eyes filled with horror—this was definitely not Huo Yuhao's usual aura! That arrogant disdain for all things, that violent tyranny that "regarded gods as nothing".
Di Tian stood frozen in place, the cold sweat seeping from his dragon scales freezing into ice crystals in the low temperature. He finally understood the true power of the Dual Godhood —the instantaneous flash of that Golden Pupils had raised his killing intent to a height that even the Dragon God could not reach.
That kind of domineering power has long surpassed the realm of gods, stepping into an even more terrifying domain.
The Silver Dragon King fell silent, feeling for the first time a sense of relief—relief that he hadn't completely enraged the monster during their initial confrontation.
She could sense that the threat she had just received was not empty words: if she really angered Huo Yuhao, let alone becoming the Dragon God, the entire Soul Beast race would probably be "skinned and gutted" and turned into nourishment for the Undead Plane.
"I understand." After a long silence, the Silver Dragon King spoke slowly, its scales rubbing together with a soft, rustling sound. "I agree to your conditions." She could sense Huo Yuhao's almost tangible killing intent.
Huo Yuhao's golden pupils gradually cleared, as if the Slaughter God from before had never existed. "A wise choice."
After emerging from the depths of the Lake of Life, Di Tian explained the situation to the Ferocious Beast, stating that he was currently in a cooperative relationship with Huo Yuhao, and that his master had agreed.
"Our lord has tacitly approved the cooperation. From this day forward, Star Dou Forest and that person... will temporarily cease hostilities. From now on, he will be an ally of our Soul Beast," Di Tian's voice said. He didn't mention the details of Huo Yuhao threatening the Silver Dragon King to slaughter his clan, only stating the matter of cooperation.
The Ferocious Beast exchanged bewildered glances, about to voice their doubts, when Huo Yuhao suddenly turned around, his gaze piercing through the Ferocious Beast and landing beside the Auspicious Beast.
(Current draft)
After explaining everything, Huo Yuhao said to Di Tian, "There's one more thing."
Huo Yuhao's steps suddenly became heavy, each step feeling like he was stepping on fragments of memory. He recalled Wang Qiu'er's resolute act of risking her Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in his previous life, the Qiankun Asking Love Valley's apple bobbed involuntarily.
The Auspicious Beast seemed to sense something, and its third eye on its forehead emitted a soft golden light as it gently watched Huo Yuhao walk towards it.
(Original draft)
Huo Yuhao looked at the Auspicious Beast's figure and couldn't help but think: In my whole life, the only person I have wronged is Qiu'er.
If life were only as beautiful as our first meeting, when would the autumn wind bring sorrow to the painted fan?
Time flies, and autumn's passing is sudden; looking back, autumn's fall is nowhere to be seen.
His eyes were filled with tears, yet his expression was so grotesque; the feeling that tears might fall at any moment was vividly portrayed on his face. "If I hadn't met you, would your fate have been different? Would you have survived peacefully?"
Fate is a strange thing. Two people who should have been attracted to each other were separated by fate, but they were brought together again in another way.
Huo Yuhao walked to the side of the Auspicious Beast. " Qiu'er," his voice was hoarse as if it had been sanded, his fingertips trembling as he tried to touch her. His eyes were gentle as he slowly said, " Qiu'er, I want to tell you, I am a bad person." Finally, tears welled up in his eyes and flowed down his cheeks.
"So, I'm sorry, I hope you can live well here." Huo Yuhao staggered, tears blurring his vision.
" Di Tian, I'm begging you."
Di Tian replied, " The Auspicious Beast is already like my child. I will protect her even without you saying so."
He turned abruptly, wanting to leave, but the lingering affection and tears made him stop. Pain, coupled with inner torment, made him turn back to look in her direction.
He wondered: Can I really bring Qiu'er happiness? Can I really protect her? His heart seemed to waver at this moment, and his emotions were in complete chaos.
As the God of Emotion, who governs emotions, he couldn't help but feel panicked and confused at this moment. It was as if everything had changed after his rebirth, including his emotions. When facing her, his heart didn't seem as firm as he had imagined.
At this moment, it was as if all his strength had been released, and tenderness, guilt, and reluctance appeared in his eyes.
The Auspicious Beast tilted its head and looked in his direction, saying:
Huo Yuhao, if you're a bad person, why are you crying? You're lying to me, right?
All the Ferocious Beast, including Di Tian and even the Silver Dragon King, were watching this scene. They could see the emotions in Huo Yuhao's heart; the Huo Yuhao who had just been so imposing was now incredibly gentle in front of the Auspicious Beast...
Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked in the direction of the Auspicious Beast. Was his wish in this life just to see you again? He straightened up and slowly walked towards the Auspicious Beast.
(In order to create a powerful Huo Yuhao, there are two versions of the manuscript. One is the current version, which is emotionally strong and will not have any emotional outbursts. The confident Huo Yuhao will only feel guilt and will not feel confused.)
The first version is the original manuscript, which is what I wanted to write in my current state. When facing Wang Qiu'er, Huo Yuhao, who is more emotionally sensitive, would feel confused. You can read whichever version you like, or you can skip it if you don't feel like it.
"What is he trying to do?!" the Scarlet King roared. The Xiong Jun roared and raised its paw, but was stopped by Di Tian's sharp tail whip. "Step back!" A complex light flashed in the Beast God's dragon eyes. "Let him go."
Amidst the astonished gazes of the beasts, Huo Yuhao slowly bent down and gently pressed his forehead against the Auspicious Beast's third eye. Golden spiritual energy flowed into it like water, yet the Auspicious Beast did not resist; its golden fur began to move without wind.
Huo Yuhao said, " Qiu'er... I'm sorry."
In an instant, the memories deep within Huo Yuhao's soul suddenly materialized ( Wang Qiu'er in his memories seemed to come alive) -- Wang Qiu'er's figure materialized behind the Auspicious Beast, her platinum dress fluttering in the wind, her eyes filled with an unchanging tenderness.
She stretched out her transparent fingers and gently wiped away the tears that had unknowingly slipped down Huo Yuhao's cheeks. Her lips moved slightly but made no sound. A gentle smile appeared on her lips, and love quietly appeared in her eyes. Then, she transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the body of the Auspicious Beast.
This is a shared memory for them. At this moment, the emotions of love within their souls are also infected, emitting a dazzling light. Huo Yuhao's longing for Wang Qiu'er makes the emotions of love even stronger.
Love is elusive. Huo Yuhao risked his life to save Wang Qiu'er at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Qiankun Asks About Love, and finally made a sacrifice. These experiences are enough to prove that Huo Yuhao has fallen in love with Wang Qiu'er without a doubt.
Huo Yuhao was not a heartless person. Heaven had brought the two of them together again, so how could he bear to lose this love again?
Di Tian knew perfectly well what he was doing—" Attribute Guidance "—but this time he wouldn't object.
The shimmering waves of the Lake of Life suddenly trembled like a heartbeat. Golden light overflowed between Huo Yuhao's and the auspicious Auspicious Beast's foreheads, which were pressed together. The Auspicious Beast's furry body trembled violently—those fragments of memory were gently transforming into streams of light and flowing into its sea of consciousness.
Of course, Huo Yuhao only returned Wang Qiu'er's memories to her; she remained completely unaware of anything else.
Perhaps my greatest wish in this rebirth is simply to see you again?
In this lifetime, I will never let you down.
The Auspicious Beast sensed everything from its memories.
It tastes awful.
I mean your saliva tastes awful.
Huo Yuhao, all you do is bully me!
Let's give our Martial Soul Fusion Skill a name.
I like Huo Yuhao
Yuhao, did Dong'er kiss you?
I am the Three-Eyed Golden Lion who yearns for the outside world.
Memories kept flashing through its mind, fragments of those memories surrounding the Auspicious Beast and entering its mind.
An extremely powerful force of destiny erupted around them, and this power appeared around both Huo Yuhao and the Auspicious Beast. Destiny was guiding them to meet again.
The two forces merged.
The trees and flowers in the Star Dou Great Forest also grew rapidly, their Soul Power condensing. The shadows of the trees swayed in the spring breeze, and as the wind blew, the falling flowers and petals fell like raindrops.
At this moment, the plants of the Star Dou Great Forest seemed to display their true power, transforming the area into a sea of flowers, a vibrant and prosperous scene.
An extremely bright light appeared around Huo Yuhao and the Auspicious Beast, enveloping them in the sky.
Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beast watched this scene in disbelief. The two seemed to be the darlings of heaven and earth, and the energy in the Lake of Life became active, surrounding them.
What is this? Nothing so miraculous has ever happened in ten thousand years. Could it be a blessing from the Dragon God?
Is this the true power of Auspicious Beast?
Bi Ji then spoke up, "No, this is a celestial phenomenon caused by the intertwined fates of that child and the Auspicious Beast."
The Ferocious Beast were buzzing with discussion. Di Tian knew clearly at this moment that the two of them were people of great fortune, and the transfer of their fortune would naturally benefit the Star Dou Great Forest.
It's a pity it's human; I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse for the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Enough," Di Tian said. "The destiny has been taken—whether it's a blessing or a curse, let's see their choices." He looked up at the sky, where the seven-colored cocoon of light was crackling with energy. "Step back! The transformation of the Auspicious Beast cannot be disturbed!"
The Ferocious Beast all took a few steps back, looking in the direction of the two people where a seven-colored light was shining.
After just a few breaths
Two figures descended from the sky amidst the bright light. The woman was tall and slender, her long white and gold dress flowing like moonlight.
Her long hair flowed down to her waist like molten gold, and her eyes shone with golden light when she opened them. The appearance of the auspicious Auspicious Beast was completely gone, replaced by an innate aloofness.
Yet, her brows and eyes also carried Wang Qiu'er's unique gentleness, and these two qualities strangely blended together in her, creating an unparalleled beauty that could topple kingdoms.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao's appearance also changed dramatically. His deep sea blue hair, which fell to his waist, was now shimmering with starlight formed from his spiritual power.
He was dressed in dark blue gilded armor, with lifelike Golden Dragon heads coiled on his shoulder armor, and his appearance had become even more handsome and dashing, exuding an imposing aura.
What's most striking is his eyes—deep blue pupils that seem to contain a cosmic star map, while his body is surrounded by the Red Armillary Sash, which flutters in the wind, carrying an aura of dominance capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas.
The woman in her transformed form ( Wang Qiu'er, the Auspicious Beast ) slowly raised her eyes, her golden pupils meeting Huo Yuhao's deep blue eyes in mid-air. No words were spoken, only countless fragments of memories swirled within their spiritual connection... All regrets and longings were fulfilled in this moment.
A slight smile played on her lips, revealing a mischievous glint that belonged both to the Auspicious Beast and to Qiu'er: " Yuhao, your saliva still tastes awful."
(After Qiu'er successfully transformed and regained her memories amidst the colorful light, the two kissed.)
Huo Yuhao's Red Armillary Sash trembled slightly. He stepped forward, the wind from his green robe ruffling her golden hair...
