The Spirit Souls all knew what the Snow Empress was thinking, and as for Liya, it went without saying—could she have given him the Mermaid’s Blessing without feelings?
After many years of waiting, the daughter-in-law had finally become the mother-in-law; Tang Wutong had died in the Divine Star Catastrophe, and they had unexpectedly returned to their original era.
Naturally, there was no longer any need to hide this relationship.
A fair, jade-like hand gently traced circles on Baili Du’s chest.
The Snow Empress seemed to be acting spoiled: “…I won’t care about whatever else you want to do, but you must make sure this version of you goes to the Extreme North to find me first.”

A gentle curve appeared at the corner of Baili Du’s mouth.
Such a side of the Snow Empress was truly rare…
He reached out and pinched her fair, tender face: “What?
Are you afraid this version of me will fall for Princess Tang?”
The Snow Empress pouted and simply snuggled into Baili Du’s arms somewhat petulantly.
Huo Yuhao was a visual creature; he had fallen for Tang Wutong purely because the so-called Goddess of Light had left an overwhelmingly stunning impression on his younger self.
One really shouldn’t meet someone too stunning in their youth…
If he had met the Snow Empress first, whose beauty was in no way inferior to Tang Wutong’s, it went without saying who Huo Yuhao would have fallen for.
Of course, the Snow Empress didn’t insist that the Huo Yuhao of this era fall for her current self.
Rather, she wanted to prevent him from being deceived by that woman and the Tang Clan again…
They, as Spirit Souls, had seen clearly just how miserable Huo Yuhao’s life in the God Realm had been.
“Even though he is me, I am unwilling to interfere too much in his choices because, in every sense, he and I are no longer the same person.
Who he likes or falls in love with will depend on fate, but…”
At this point, Baili Du’s tone turned colder and more decisive: “Only Tang Wutong is forbidden!
Even if I have to place a Spiritual Imprint, I will never allow this version of myself to have any connection with her again!”
Because he had been drenched by the rain, he wanted to provide an umbrella for others, especially since that person was himself.
“But in that case…” Liya spoke up, her voice filled with worry.
“Tang San will surely spare no effort to interfere with this version of you, using all sorts of dirty tricks.
What will we do then?”
As for Tang San’s character, it could be said that no one knew it better than Baili Du—not even Xiao Wu.
Baili Du kissed Liya’s forehead: “I’ve anticipated this as well.
That’s why this version of me needs Teacher’s help.
Then, I will head to the God Realm to personally keep an eye on that bastard, ideally making him reveal his true colors early.
Besides…”
At this thought, a mischievous grin appeared on Baili Du’s face: “Doesn’t this era also have Tang San’s precious grandson…
Two planes children.
Hehe, Tang San only has one daughter; I’d like to see how he tries to mess things up.”
Lan Xuanyu’s Rebirth into this era was naturally Baili Du’s doing.
Otherwise, even if Lan Xuanyu were the Dragon God, with only a sliver of his divine soul remaining, it would have been impossible for him to preserve his consciousness while traversing the two cosmic-level disasters: the Space-Time Turbulence and the Reincarnation Hurricane.
Did they really think he was a die-hard loyal dog of the Tang Clan?
Near dawn, his two lovely wives had already fallen asleep.
Baili Du got dressed and went into young Huo Yuhao’s room.
Baili Du had always taught Huo Yuhao that the path of cultivation lies in perseverance and balance—Cultivate when it’s time to Cultivate and sleep when it’s time to sleep.
Especially at such a young age, there was really no need to be so desperate.
Looking at the sleeping young Huo Yuhao, Baili Du stood by the bed, feeling a bit apprehensive.
He eventually reached out a finger and tapped the boy’s forehead, sending in a wisp of his own Divine Sense.
He really…
really wanted to see Teacher again…
The Small Grey Bead that had been dormant seemed to sense something.
It slowly formed a very blurry figure that emerged within Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness, meeting the gaze of Baili Du’s Spiritual Form.
At this moment, Baili Du had no need to continue hiding himself, naturally revealing his true appearance.
Sizing up the handsome blue-haired young man, Electrolux let out a soft exclamation of surprise and asked somewhat uncertainly, “Your Excellency is…”
There was no doubt that this young man was using Divine Sense, and its energy level was so high that even Electrolux in his prime would have found it hard to reach.
Why was such a powerful being’s face filled with guilt?
Why would he stay in a World with such an unremarkable energy level?
And why was he here?
More importantly…
if he wasn’t mistaken, this young man’s appearance seemed…
seemed very similar to young Huo Yuhao’s!
Especially those eyes—they were almost identical.
Baili Du pursed his lips, lowered his head in shame, and gritted his teeth.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, his voice carrying a hint of a sob: “Unfilial Disciple Huo Yuhao greets honored teacher Electrolux.”
“???”
Electrolux stared blankly at Baili Du and asked uncertainly, “You actually recognize this old man?
And the ‘Huo Yuhao’ you just mentioned…
but isn’t this child…”
“It’s like this…” Afterward, Baili Du spent a great deal of effort to finally explain the whole sequence of events, including his origins and the relationship—both complex and simple—between him and young Huo Yuhao…
Fortunately, this was a Spiritual Space; combined with the active sharing of memories, the process of communication and explanation was entirely without obstacles, as he told everything.
To make Electrolux believe him, he also conveniently displayed the ultimate artifact: staff of the necromancer calamity and the Spirit Soul Magic Contract.
Hearing this explanation, even the Undying Saint Mage God Electrolux couldn’t help but be dumbfounded and marvel at the wonder.
That ultimate artifact: staff of the necromancer calamity was the firmest evidence—this person was indeed his Disciple!
“To think such a thing happened.
Time truly is the most miraculous power in this World!
Then should this old man…
should Master call you Yuhao or Baili Du?”
Electrolux’s tone was now noticeably more intimate than usual.
Baili Du’s expression darkened as he shook his head: “Better call me Baili Du for now.
After all, this child is the true Huo Yuhao, while I…
am just a failure who lived his life as Dai Yuhao.
I truly have no right to continue calling myself Huo Yuhao.”
Electrolux helped Baili Du up, his voice growing more benevolent: “Child, do not say that.
This old man has seen countless people, but one as shameless and insidious as your father-in-law is a first.
Speaking of which, it’s also my fault as your teacher; I only taught you magic but didn’t teach you how to conduct yourself…”
Tears overflowed from Baili Du’s eyes.
He hugged Electrolux and cried like a child: “I’m sorry…
I’m sorry, Teacher!
I…
I kept trying to find your Divine Sense Fragments across the Myriad Worlds, but while in the God Realm, I was ordered by Tang San not to leave.
It was only after Tang San died that I finally had enough status and strength, but when I wanted to look, I could no longer find them…”
“Only then did I realize that Tang San was afraid of me escaping his control.
He first plotted your death, then destroyed the relics you left for me, and even secretly destroyed your Divine Sense Fragments throughout the Myriad Worlds one by one…
I, I didn’t have the power to avenge you…”
