Douluo Continent, the outskirts of Star Luo City.
Starlight adorned the silver moon, and tranquility draped over the land along with the silver mist of moonlight.
All was silent.
A beautiful night, a beautiful moon.
On the lush green hillside, a small figure knelt powerlessly, seemingly praying to the starry sky.
It was a child in tattered clothes, with short black hair.
His face was sallow and weak, and his large sapphire-like eyes were dim and lifeless.
He gazed at the beautiful starry sky, tears filling his eyes.
It was hard to believe that an emotion like ‘wanting to die’ could be seen in a five-year-old child.
Just then, a spatial portal was silently torn open, and a young man stepped out.
The young man was exceptionally handsome and refined.
His slightly pale blue hair hung loosely behind him, and he possessed an indescribable ethereal temperament.
His eyes were clear, as if they could reflect the Universe itself.
But most striking was a vertical eye on his forehead, shimmering with a mysterious diamond-like light.
However, the vertical eye was covered in cracks, looking as if it were about to shatter.
“…”
His gaze also dimmed significantly; he even felt a bit afraid to look at this child.
He knew this child all too well; he was the protagonist of this era, and also his past self.
The planes child of this era, almost the last hope of the Douluo Continent.
[Huo Yuhao].
No, right now, he was still called Dai Yuhao, at the lowest point of his life.
“This timeline is five years old, there’s still time!”
The Emotion God King brushed his hand over his face, and his originally handsome features vanished, replaced by those of an ordinary middle-aged man.
He walked up to Huo Yuhao, ignoring the child’s hostile and confused gaze, and gave a wide smile.
“Hello, Little fellow.
My name is…
Baili Du.”
…One year later, Douluo Continent, the outskirts of Star Luo City.
“Come, little Yuhao.
Place your hand on it, and let’s begin the Spirit Awakening ceremony.”
The speaker was a middle-aged man around thirty years old with short black hair.
There was nothing extraordinary about his appearance, except for those eyes, which sparkled like the sun.
Standing before him was a six-year-old child wearing a set of white clothes.
Though not high-grade, they were very clean.
It was indeed little Huo Yuhao.
A year had passed, and the child who once didn’t have enough to eat or wear had changed a lot: his little face was no longer sallow and weak, but extremely delicate—so much so that one might not even realize he was a boy without a closer look.
His skin was as fair as a child his age should be, and he had grown quite a bit taller.
Compared to a year ago, it was like night and day.
Since Spirit Hall was destroyed ten thousand years ago by the ‘impartial’ and ‘pure’ Sea God and Asura God, Tang San, the original three nations of the Douluo Continent did not continue this benefit.
In this damn era, Awakening a Spirit costs money, and the price is not low—ten gold coins.
Ten thousand years later, the Spirit Pagoda, founded by Huo Yuhao, would take up the burden of Spirit Hall, providing free Spirit Awakening for ordinary people on a large scale.
Twenty thousand years later, the life energy level and technology of Douluo Star would be Advanced enough that Spirit Awakening would be a minor matter.
If you had a little money, you could buy a device and awaken at home.
In this horizontal comparison, Huo Yuhao’s era was indeed terrible.
As for why it was so miserable, one would have to ask a certain Mr.
Tang.
Of course, there were other ways.
At this time, the powerful families or Sects of the Douluo Continent would hold Spirit Awakening ceremonies within their own clans.
For Huo Yuhao and his mother, the only advantage of being in the Duke’s Mansion was probably being able to piggyback on the benefits of such a powerful force and have a free Spirit Awakening.
But in [Baili Du]’s memory, after he awakened his Spiritual Eye Martial Soul at age six, the mother and son were exploited by Dai Hao’s ‘good wife’ for various reasons, forced to pay back the ten gold coins for the Awakening fee.
The purchasing power of ten gold coins in this era was quite significant.
It could be said that a large reason why Huo Yuhao’s childhood was so miserable was that he and his mother had to do all kinds of hard labor to earn money to repay this debt.
Fortunately, he had returned, and there was no need for his mother or his current self to pay anything more.
Little Yuhao nodded obediently and gently placed his tender little hand on the crystal ball.
Then he discovered that the spirit power within his body was like it had found a doorway, surging into it frantically.
A blinding white light erupted instantly, and then, with a ‘crack,’ the crystal ball suddenly shattered!
[Baili Du]’s eyes immediately lit up.
Clearly, this wasn’t Rank 10 Innate Full Spirit Power.
It was Rank 20 Innate!
A Divine Rank talent.
Golden light shone in those large blue eyes.
Unsurprisingly, it was still [Huo Yuhao]’s signature Spiritual Eye.
Furthermore, [Baili Du] saw clearly that deep within Huo Yuhao’s eyes, profound nine-colored ripples were swaying, likely related to the power of emotion.
But what if…
there was more?
Little Yuhao suddenly looked up and let out a roar.
“…Ah!”
That small body slowly became more slender, and deep blue scales grew on him.
Human characteristics and aura slowly vanished from him, replaced by…
Dragon traits.
“Ang!”
The dragon’s roar wasn’t loud, but it carried an indescribable deterrent force.
The clear sky instantly turned dark, as if the sun had been obscured.
Then, his Spirit appeared.
A deep blue halo radiated outward from little Huo Yuhao’s body, and even his own figure was hidden within this glow.
The entire courtyard seemed to be placed in a watery realm; the water surface rippled slightly, and though it was an illusion, it was overwhelmingly realistic.
A massive figure splashed loudly and leapt out from the illusory water’s surface.
The dragon’s head had a soft yet majestic outline, with four elegant dragon horns on top, wrapped in faint deep purple electrical sparks.
Its eyes were ice-blue vertical pupils, as if ground from eternal permafrost, with a cold and sharp gaze.
The fangs in its mouth were pearly white, and when it bit down, white mist carrying a chill would escape.
Its slender body, a full hundred meters long, writhed, revealing hind legs with hooked claws, and its whip-like sharp tail drew a large arc.
Its vigorous body shimmered with a beautiful deep blue glazed color.
From its head and back to its tail, dragon scales flashing with a blue glazed luster stood up, and four pairs of eight blue dragon wings extended at equal intervals.
It was impossible to tell if it was a Lizard type or Snake type dragon, and it was completely different from the native dragon species of the Douluo plane.
Yet, the figure of this dragon was so solemn and grand.
The dragon’s mouth opened wide, letting out a thunderous roar.
Even the air became humid, as if lightning snakes were dancing wildly within it, looking as though a storm would break out the next second.
As everyone knows, when famous emperors and generals or Rare treasures are born, there are always some heavenly phenomena, like a room full of red light or dragons and phoenixes flying out.
It’s the same here on the Douluo Continent.
Being able to change the weather after a Spirit Awakening naturally means this Spirit is incredible.
Standing to the side, [Baili Du] narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the Awakening Huo Yuhao with great interest and nodding in satisfaction.
[Extreme Water] plus [Ultimate Thunder], and…
a very good combination.
Once he fuses with Brother Tianmeng, he should be able to turn water into ice.
My own essence blood and the [Dragon God]’s dragon marrow weren’t wasted; he directly has twin spirits now.
And both are Divine Rank Spirits!
Nonsense, it’s the essence blood of two God Kings, after all.
It would be a problem if a new Spirit wasn’t created.
On the current Huo Yuhao, not a single trace of the [White Tiger Bloodline] can be felt.
Instead, there is another characteristic—[Dragon]!
Furthermore, it’s a [Dragon] whose quality is not inferior to the Nine Great Dragon Kings!
Its level is already very close to the [Golden Dragon King] or [Silver Dragon King].
Of course, it wasn’t impossible to craft a Divine Rank Spirit for Huo Yuhao, like the [God of Emotion] or something.
But considering the destiny and marriage between Huo Yuhao and Qiu’er, he used his own Origin Bloodline and a bit of the Dragon God’s dragon marrow to completely replace little Yuhao’s original Bloodline, while also cleansing his marrow and essence.
Since they are essentially the same person, the Bloodlines fused perfectly.
As for that drop of Dragon God marrow…
thinking of this, a crafty and mischievous smile appeared on [Baili Du]’s face.
I wonder what kind of expression a certain Second-generation Dragon God, who also transmigrated to this era, will have when he sees his [Uncle-in-law] suddenly possessing the Dragon God Bloodline?
