"What did you say?" Di Tian asked speechlessly, looking at the boy in front of him who seemed like a completely different person.
Just minutes ago, the two of them had a fight over Huo Yuhao's ascension to the God Realm. Now that Huo Yuhao had won, his expression changed, and he told him he wasn't going to go.
"Let me explain, Di Tian." Huo Yuhao was also helpless. He had just beaten the other party up, and now he was immediately telling him he wasn't going, making it seem like he had nothing better to do than beat people up. Although Di Tian was completely confused, he knew that something was amiss. The two stared at each other for a long time, until finally the Spirit Ice Douluo seemed to have figured out what he wanted to say. However, the Black-Eyed Golden Dragon King spoke up before him: "Let me make this clear first, I will definitely support you if you don't want to go to the God Realm. Don't think that just because I don't want to keep you, you can secretly run away one day."
“I understand, Di Tian,” Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile. “But you shouldn’t have this worry after you hear the reason.”
"Then I'd like to hear your reasons. Come, sit down and let's talk." The Beast God breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and pointed to the Lake of Life not far away. The man and the dragon sat side by side beside the green ripples, and the air became much more relaxed.
"What I'm about to say is going to be terrifying." Yuhao looked seriously into Ditian's golden eyes.
"I've lived this long, I'm a professional, I've seen it all." The other person just rolled their eyes at him, annoyed. "Go ahead, what's the big deal? As long as it's not something out of the sky, it's easy to handle."
“Once I go up there, it feels like I can’t come down. No matter what form it takes, even passing on messages is not allowed.”
"Is Tang San that strict?" Di Tian blinked. "Over the years, there have been instances of the God Realm interfering in matters of the lower realms, especially since he himself has done it the most. Can't he even pass on a message?"
“After sparring with you just now, I feel that my soul power has completely reached the threshold of the God Realm. That is to say, theoretically I have become a god, and what I need to do next is to go to the God Realm. But at the same time, I also felt many dimensional constraints that I could not detect before... This is one of the rules I just felt.” Huo Yuhao continued, “At the same time, my teacher in the God Realm also sent me a warning at that moment.”
"The God of Emotions?"
"Yes, he said, 'That Tang San guy just wants to use his precious daughter to lure you up, so he can catch you like a turtle in a jar. You've thought it through, once you're up there, you won't be able to get down. Damn it, how come I only realized now that he never intended to let you two go?'"
The two looked at each other for a while.
Di Tian suddenly burst into laughter, "It's a good thing you haven't gone up yet. I really wanted to see Tang San's embarrassed expression after being robbed." "Laugh if you want, I really have no other choice." Now it was Huo Yuhao's turn to be speechless. Originally, he just wanted to spend his life with his soul tool, but because he was chosen by that "kind" Sea God, his good brother Wang Dong was gone, Di Tian's good daughter Three-Eyed Golden Lion was gone, and Tang Wutong was super-assembled. Logically speaking, it wouldn't be bad to be friends for life, but in the end, he was almost tricked by fate into working indefinitely in the God Realm. The Spirit Pagoda was practically an orphan, the Tang Sect needed him to clean up the mess, and there was also Elder Mu's last wish... There were too many things that needed him. He couldn't possibly attend this selfish and treacherous banquet for the sake of immortality and power.
"So? What's the plan next?" After confirming that Huo Yuhao wouldn't go up, Di Tian felt much more relaxed. As long as he didn't leave Douluo Continent, the Star Dou Great Forest would still receive the blessings of Heaven. Moreover, with Huo Yuhao's current physique as a god in the literal sense, living for thousands or tens of thousands of years wouldn't be a problem. He wouldn't need to ask Xiong Jun and the others for a chat anymore; he could just bother Huo Yuhao when he was bored.
"Let me hide for a year or two first."
"?"
"Necessary protective measures. I'm afraid the all-powerful Sea God will personally come down and take me back." Huo Yuhao looked at Di Tian with a dark expression.
“That makes sense. Then why don’t you just go into seclusion in the Star Dou Great Forest? It’ll be easier to conceal your life force there.” Di Tian agreed with Huo Yuhao’s thoughtful consideration, but he still had one question: “But how can you guarantee that hiding for one or two years will be enough?”
"My mentor also told me that the Sea God predicted that the divine realm would soon face misfortune. He is truly a mentor."
"I'm impressed by both of you."
