After the battle, the setting sun cast long, blood-red shadows of the three as they headed back towards the Shrek Academy.
Ling Luochеn and Ning Tian also developed some special feelings for Huo Yuhao, although Ling Luochеn originally had...
During the break, Huo Yuhao continued catching and grilling fish, with Ling Luochеn and the other man helping him.
"Let me handle the innards." Ling Luochеn took the fish and began to clean the innards, her movements even more efficient than those of an ordinary cook. Ning Tian took out the seasonings for Huo Yuhao and handed them to him to prepare for grilling. Huo Yuhao grilled the marinated fish skewers until they sizzled, the aroma mixed with the scent of pine wood spreading in the twilight.
As the oil from the grilled fish dripped into the fire and popped softly, Huo Yuhao suddenly took out two boxes from his robes. He first handed the left box, which gleamed with a cold aura, to Ling Luochеn, the lid of which was lifted the moment it was opened.
A wisp of icy blue mist rose, and in the center lay Immortal Herb shaped like an ice crystal, its leaves edged with a faint Bajiao halo. "Senior Sister Ling," his voice was lower than usual, " the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass can help your Martial Soul Evolution, becoming true Ultimate Ice."
Ling Luochеn's fingertips hovered over the rim of the box, her eyelashes trembling violently. "Why did you give me this?" Her voice trembled almost imperceptibly.
"I have nothing to repay you with. You have saved me so many times, I don't know how to repay you anymore." Huo Yuhao looked at the flickering flames, not knowing how to answer for a moment. He suddenly stuffed the box into her hand.
"Consider it a gift for always sending me bento boxes. It's my blessing for you to become stronger and more confident in the future. You can't refuse; it's all from the bottom of my heart."
Ling Luochеn's face was filled with emotion, a Sisi blush creeping across her cheeks. The firelight reflected in her eyes, intensifying her feelings. She put away the Immortal Herb, but her heart was churning with emotions she had never experienced before: this boy, who always hid his gentleness beneath a cold exterior, had already stirred ripples in her Ice Seal heart through countless battles fought side by side.
Ling Luochеn was originally a cold and aloof girl; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her an iceberg. The other members of the Shrek Seven Devils from the same year basically described her as an iceberg.
I thought this iceberg would remain Bingbing forever, but who would have thought it would be moved and melted by Huo Yuhao?
Ling Luochеn understood in her heart, " Huo Yuhao, I've fallen for you. Why? Because there are so many incredible things about you, and thank you for everything you've done for me. Your gentleness has made me fall for you without even realizing it."
After Ling Luochеn put away the immortal Immortal Herb, Huo Yuhao pushed another box towards Ning Tian. "This is the Aromatic Silk Beauty. You should know what it is; it's the key to advancing to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
I can give this to you, but I have conditions. To be precise, I want to discuss a cooperation with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
I need a large amount of funds, as well as materials for Soul Tool.
Huo Yuhao pondered: The things we need to build later will require a huge amount of money. If we don't join the Soul Tool Department for now, we can only do it ourselves. We have quite a few things on hand, and the only one who can support us in this collaboration is the financially powerful Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
In this way, whether it's the current situation regarding Soul Tool or the future time travel, there will be no need to worry about a shortage of funds.
Ning Tian thought to himself, "Once you become my man, I'll have as many resources as I want. What's mine is yours, and I'm yours too."
Ning Tian immediately agreed to Huo Yuhao's request.
Afterwards, back at the academy, the two of them began to pursue Huo Yuhao intensely, turning the three-person food delivery team into a five-person food delivery team.
Asura triangle ensues between the five of them; now, Huo Yuhao has basically charmed all the girls from the Shrek Seven Devils.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao, the person in question, was looking at the five food boxes placed side by side on the corner of the table. The sunlight outside the window was just right, shining through the glass window of the classroom and onto his hair, making his eyes look full of helplessness and a secret warmth.
Suddenly, I realized that being "besieged" by several senior students wasn't so hard to handle after all.
Nearly three months later, Shrek Academy was already in the depths of autumn. Outside Huo Yuhao's dormitory window, ginkgo leaves covered the bluestone path, their golden leaves gleaming with a moist sheen in the morning mist.
Huo Yuhao also faced a new challenge. He sat cross-legged on the bed meditating, having actually entered the Time Sea of Consciousness and Time Sea of Consciousness.
The sound rang out again. He had prepared an incarnation technique in advance. Even if his body traveled to another timeline, Ice Empress would absolutely not be able to detect it with this clone. The senses and vision of the main body and the clone were completely interconnected.
(It means that what you feel, I also feel; what you see, I also see; what you hear, I also hear, just like playing a game where one person plays two accounts, one main account and one secondary account).
So he also instructed Ice Empress, saying, "I'm about to begin my secluded cultivation, and I hope you can stay by my side to protect me."
When the time vortex in the Time Sea of Consciousness unfolded again, Huo Yuhao clearly sensed the difference from the previous two times.
In the past, he was passively pulled along by the turbulent flow of spacetime, unconsciously leading Tian Meng and the others there. Now, he has a sense of order to this thing, or rather, a feeling of having some control over it.
This time, he felt as if he could control the machine at will, like a precise carving knife. He cut through the memories deep within Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mind about his ability to travel through time.
He deliberately left the sleeping Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his clone in the real world (the same goes for Xiao Bing ), and used magic to completely erase all its fragmented memories of "time travel".
--Those memory particles, shimmering with golden light, were decomposed one by one, transforming into specks of fluorescence in the ocean of time.
Why would he do this? Because the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm exists in that spacetime, but Electrolux and Huo Yuhao do not, so even if he arrived there...
It will not do anything that excessively alters the order of spacetime, and spacetime will not change as a result. The only anchor point, the butterfly effect, changes, some of which are fatal. The previous time travel was too reckless.
This leads to the conclusion that the past timeline could change at any time. Due to the spatial order, only Snow Empress relied on her longing to persist for a full ten thousand years without actively seeking out Huo Yuhao.
Those who can manipulate time at will will only make time more chaotic.
Huo Yuhao only used an alias when he arrived in the past ten thousand years ago. This alias will eventually disappear in the long river of history. This is the restorative nature of time. Everything will develop according to the predetermined past.
This journey is still within the Star Dou Great Forest, at the designated reorganization location...
This brings us to the topic of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Originally, Tang San shouldn't have been able to reach the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well this time. Even if he had, Dugu Bo would have personally suppressed and killed this junior. But unexpectedly, time helped Tang San resolve this crisis from another angle: Dugu Yan and Tang San became friends?
Tang San saved her during a capture of Soul Beast; this was a forced restoration of time. Thus, history resumed its original course.
Whatever the reason, it will be fixed; this is a matter of paradox.
Minor vulnerabilities can be fixed, but what about major vulnerabilities? Will they affect the original timeline? If the original timeline is affected, will everything I've done be for nothing?
No one dared to gamble on this, since he was from the future, not from the past.
Star Dou Great Forest
The pool in the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest reflected the fragmented sunlight. Huo Yuhao scooped up a handful of cool stream water and splashed it on his face. As his fingertips brushed across his eyelids, the color of his irises was changing from clear blue to molten gold.
Water droplets still clung to the ends of her long black hair, but they had already solidified into a camouflage of color in the twilight of the forest.
--In this timeline, this appearance is truly essential. In the misty water vapor, it resembles a flowing mask, yet also seems like a real person. At this moment, his golden eyes gleam with a ghostly light.
The stream washed away the moss on the bank, staining his cuffs with a bluish hue, as if erasing a mark that didn't belong to this era. So when it was wiped clean...
"The best disguise..." he murmured to himself, gazing at his reflection in the water. Of course, he didn't know if it was the best disguise, since he still had the appearance of Tang Wu. The necromancer Tang Wu, as his original self in the timeline, was enough. In the timeline ten thousand years ago, only Huo Lai existed. He would carry that name, the same name as his teacher, and let it resound throughout the entire Douluo Continent. Let's start from now.
"I wonder how the trials of the gods in this era compare to those of that teacher. It's truly something to look forward to, especially for the Asura God..."
Anyway, no one will remember him in the future, so let's make a big splash in this timeline as a virtual person.
