“Eh?”
Just then, Baili Du suddenly looked up at the sky, a look of confusion on his face.
“Is Teacher coming at this time?
It seems a bit early…”
Baili Du tapped his chin in thought.
According to the original course of history, Teacher Electrolux was supposed to be attracted by the massive mental force when Huo Yuhao and the Tian Meng Ice Silkworm fused.
But now…
it should be that Teacher was attracted by the massive energy fluctuations from the Awakening of the Deep Blue Glazed Dragon, drawn here from the Void Realm of the Universe.
This is fine too.
Since Teacher Electrolux came early, he must ensure the old man doesn’t burn his Divine Sense and die in the conspiracy Tang San specially prepared for him.
A suffocatingly massive pressure descended from the sky.
A grey current of air fell as if drawn by a powerful suction.
In an instant, it landed and quietly burrowed into the back of Huo Yuhao’s head.
A very blurry figure emerged behind Huo Yuhao, and an aged voice rang out with an indescribable majesty.
“Holding the sun and moon, plucking the stars; there is no one like me in this world!
To think that this old man could still have a trace of a remnant Soul survive.”
Hearing that familiar opening line, Baili Du’s eyes lit up.
He hurriedly and cautiously sent a bit of ownerless, unconscious, high-quality Soul energy into Huo Yuhao’s spiritual sea for Electrolux to absorb.
Although this small action might arouse Elder Yi’s suspicion, the most important thing right now was to preserve this remnant Soul of his.
After all, he didn’t have any life gold on hand, and he couldn’t disrupt the normal historical progression too much; otherwise, this Huo Yuhao might be directly obliterated by the Law of the Douluo Universe.
So, he could only sneakily perform some small actions…
however, it would be best to get the old man a vessel to house his divine soul.
After thinking it over, the best option was to have Electrolux truly become Huo Yuhao’s Spirit.
After the phantom of the giant dragon dissipated, Huo Yuhao’s small body was revealed.
Little Yuhao looked at his small, fair hands and felt the power within him that could almost be described as surging and tempestuous.
He murmured blankly to himself, “Is this my Spirit?”
With a thought, his hands transformed into dragon claws covered in deep blue dragon scales.
Four pairs of eight magnificent dragon wings extended from his back, and a long, slender, translucent deep blue dragon tail swept out, appearing exceptionally fierce and powerful.
Little Yuhao felt that his current self could truly punch that fellow Dai Huabin into a useless tiger.
“Very good.
Now your wish has come true.
You can say you truly have no Bloodline connection with the White Tiger Dai Family.
Congratulations, Little Yuhao.”
Little Yuhao looked up in surprise at the kindly-looking Uncle Baili and shouted happily, “Uncle Baili!
Look, this is my Spirit!”
Baili Du stroked his soft hair and said with gratification, “Let’s call this Spirit the Deep Blue Glazed Dragon!
You must remember, this Spirit is extremely, extremely powerful.
Treat it as your trump card and do not use it lightly unless it’s a critical moment.”
Little Yuhao nodded obediently.
He hesitated for a moment, and after a while, he mustered the courage to look at Baili Du.
“But Uncle Baili, why…
are you so good to me?”
The child was young and honest; he said whatever was on his mind.
He couldn’t figure out why this uncle, who was neither a relative nor a friend, would help him so much.
He gave him food, clothes, and supplies, and even helped him awaken his Spirit for free.
Was he really just a god who heard his prayer and suddenly descended to his side?
…Looking at the long-silent Baili Du, Little Yuhao suddenly realized he might have said something wrong…
Just as he was about to apologize, Baili Du’s melancholy voice reached his ears, and he felt a slight pang of pain on his shoulder.
“To have you stop a calamity that should never have happened, to prevent you from becoming Dai Yuhao…”
“And more importantly, to let things be the way they were meant to be.”
“…?”
Little Yuhao looked at him in confusion, but his gaze soon became firm.
He secretly decided in his heart that when he grew up, he would definitely repay this Uncle Baili.
Seeing the determination in Little Yuhao’s eyes, Baili Du smiled faintly.
How could he not know himself?
Precocious people are usually late bloomers, and proud people are often impatient.
Huo Yuhao’s biggest problem, when all was said and done, was just one: he appeared to value relationships deeply, but in essence, he was actually starved for love.
This could be traced back to his original family, especially Imposter and that scumbag Dai Hao.
The fact that Huo Yuhao was easily trained into a dog by Tang San later on was actually largely due to Imposter.
Example is better than precept.
Since Imposter herself was a ‘love-brain,’ how could she not affect Huo Yuhao’s worldview?
After his mother died, Shrek and the Tang Sect gave him a tiny bit of care, which immediately made him loyal to the end.
Recalling how Ma Xiaotao’s single word ‘sister’ could make Huo Yuhao cry his eyes out; and how Princess Tang’s Incarnation was only good to him for a few days, and Huo Yuhao rushed to pour his heart out for her, enduring any beating or scolding, content to be a dog.
Being tamed into a dog of the Tang Clan by the Tang God King—part of the reason really required some self-reflection.
So…
Huo Yuhao’s current perspective must be corrected!
Otherwise, no matter how much his talent and Spirit are enhanced, it will be in vain!
As for how to fix this flaw, it was easy to solve: give him enough care so he isn’t starved for love!
Baili Du stroked Huo Yuhao’s blue hair and was about to say a few words to comfort him, but the unusual pain coming from his body made him frown and cough a few times.
The injuries he suffered were truly not light.
To be able to crawl out alive from the three major Universe-level disasters—the Giant God of Finality, the Space-Time Turbulence, and the Reincarnation Hurricane—and still retain the power of a Second Class God was already a stroke of immense luck.
Even so, he had been forcibly weakened from the Realm of a half-step Supreme God King to a Second Class God, paying the price of burning his Emotional God Position and having the majority of his ultimate artifact, the eye of eternity, shattered.
It would be more accurate to say that surviving until now was pure luck; this was probably the final fortune of a native Child of Luck.
It gave him one last chance to turn the tide and let things return to how they were meant to be!
Mobilizing his divine force to calm the internal injuries, Baili Du took a deep breath.
He had to find a place with sufficient energy to heal his wounds as soon as possible.
According to his estimation, he could only suppress the space-time energy within his body for four years at most.
Even if he didn’t want to, he would have to reveal his cultivation and head to the God Realm; otherwise, he would end up like Gu Yuena, with his cultivation dropping directly back to a God Officer, forced to relearn from a max-level account.
This also meant he could accompany Huo Yuhao for four more years at the very most.
Baili Du was quite open-minded about this.
The protagonist of this era was Huo Yuhao, not his current self who had lived as Dai Yuhao.
His task was to go to the God Realm and find trouble for his dear father-in-Law…
oh no, to send him some warmth.
Not having Tang San was very important to him.
