“The legend of the Holy Emperor began to rise six hundred years ago.
At that time, a Rank 9 Titled Douluo-level evil soul master appeared on the continent, with the title Blood Infant.
He awakened his martial soul at eighteen.
After awakening, he could only break through bottlenecks and increase his soul power by devouring human infants.
From an ordinary person to a Titled Douluo, the Blood Infant Douluo had harmed over ten thousand infants.”
As she spoke, Ye Guyi’s expression grew solemn.
“The Blood Infant Douluo had no inherited powerful bloodline, nor any family background that could provide massive cultivation resources.
Yet within twenty years, he became a Rank 9 Titled Douluo.
From his eighth soul ring onward, they were all red rings.
That meant that at the seven-ring Soul Saint level, with no background, he had already killed a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
He was personally eliminated by the previous head of Shrek’s Supervisory Team.
The legend of the Holy Emperor also began at that time.”
“The legend of the Holy Emperor is a very simple phrase: The Holy Emperor stands before a woman about to give birth, and after she delivers, he devours her child.”
In this necromantic demiplane that Ilex had given to Huo Yuhao, even though it was filled with warm, bright energy and lacked the chill of ordinary necromantic domains, after Ye Guyi spoke these words, even Snow Lady—an ice-attribute being—felt an unusual, unsettling coldness.
Only Huo Yuhao, after hearing Ye Guyi’s words, showed a look of amusement.
“The most popular account on the Douluo Continent is Shrek’s version: the origin of evil soul masters is the Rakshasa God.
Tang San’s grandfather, Tang Chen, went to Slaughter City to participate in the trial of the Judgment God Asura, but was contaminated by the evil thoughts of the Rakshasa God and became the King of Slaughter.
Tang San obtained the Asura Domain from the King of Slaughter.
The first evil soul master Tang San ever saw was Tang Chen, whom he later redeemed through the Sea God’s Light.
In the final Battle of Jialing Pass, the new Rakshasa God—the then-emperor of the Spirit Empire, Bibi Dong—finally revealed her true form.”
“And according to Bibi Dong’s dying words, her inheritance of the Rakshasa God began with devouring the Rakshasa God’s priest, Qian Xunji.”
Huo Yuhao looked at Ye Guyi’s delicate features, then at the bewildered Snow Lady, and said:
“Therefore, one implication of this legend of the Holy Emperor is that the Angel family intends to restore the evil Spirit Hall.”
“After all, the founding emperor of the Spirit Empire, Bibi Dong, began her rise by devouring people—by devouring Qian Xunji.”
“Who exactly the Holy Emperor in the prophecy is doesn’t matter.
What matters is: he represents an image and a topic—the image of Bibi Dong, the topic of the Spirit Empire.”
Though the Angel soul masters had lived cautiously over the years, the true signal conveyed by this rumor from Shrek—”I suspect someone wants to restore the evil Spirit Empire”—was not difficult for the more perceptive among them to detect.
Unlike Bibi Dong, who ultimately couldn’t bring herself to harm her daughter Qian Renxue and only devoured outsiders, this new anti-Tang ambitious figure would devour children.
This allegory could be used to metaphorically target any person or force that attempted to nurture a new generation of geniuses and harbored disrespectful thoughts toward the Sea God.
The Holy Spirit Church was precisely a group of soul masters who actively practiced this prophecy.
“If they’re not stupid, they should know that under Shrek’s position as the true power center of the Douluo Continent, actively practicing this prophecy is essentially openly rebelling against Tang San’s rule on this continent.”
“Then who gave them the courage?”
“Openly opposing a Supreme God?
Are they insane?” After hearing Huo Yuhao’s words, Snow Lady was thoroughly confused.
Putting aside the nonexistent Holy Emperor, even the true Rakshasa God Bibi Dong had been instantly slain by Tang San’s Asura God Sword.
Huo Yuhao laughed:
“But this is actually a confession of guilt.
Because the beginning of all this was the Blood Infant Douluo, who was ended by Shrek.”
“This prophecy, on one hand, encourages dark-attribute soul masters to attack Angel soul masters, promising them that if they do so, they can become the Bibi Dong who devoured Qian Renxue.”
Before the destruction of the Mingyue Hotel in this life, Huo Yuhao had been uncertain whether the Holy Emperor was his father-in-law “Tang the Pure” or Tang Hao.
Now he was certain that the Holy Emperor at this time was Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor within the Golden Tree.
Huo Yuhao remembered clearly: in his previous life, after his father-in-law “Tang the Pure” went to the Falan Star plane to search for his wife and returned, “Tang the Pure” had uncharacteristically and generously produced a massive space-time beacon, forging the super-divine artifact Space-Time Tower.
This allowed the various supreme gods of the Great Divine Realm to reopen planes within that space-time power, resurrecting the people and things from their respective eras.
For example, Tang Wulin, the Tang family’s crown prince, had resurrected and recreated in a plane he had opened everything from the day he awakened his martial soul in Aolai City on the eastern coast of the Sun Moon Federation under the guidance of the Spirit Transferring Pagoda, all the way to the ten-thousand-year period before the Tang family’s holy grandson Lan Xuan Yu emerged from his eggshell.
Huo Yuhao’s father-in-law “Tang the Pure” had directly recreated and resurrected everything from the ten-thousand-year period beginning with his own martial soul awakening in Holy Soul Village up until Huo Yuhao left the White Tiger Duke’s mansion, as well as the ten-thousand-year period from Huo Yuhao’s ascension to the divine realm up until Tang Wulin’s martial soul awakening in Aolai City—a total of twenty thousand years—all within a plane he had opened.
And what about him, Huo Yuhao?
Or rather, at that time, he should have been called “Tang Family’s Good Dog Dai Yuhao.” The people and things he could recreate and resurrect in the plane he opened were merely the short span of just over a decade—from that cold winter when he left the White Tiger Duke’s mansion to his great battle against Di Tian.
Among the “Douluo Worlds” formed by the new planes opened by the various supreme gods within the Space-Time Tower, his “Tang Family’s Good Dog Dai Yuhao’s” world was the most monotonous.
Because his plane was one whose history was entirely filled in by his own imagination.
Sensitive as he was, Huo Yuhao could certainly sense that there were many things the Tang family simply didn’t want him to know.
Knowing this unwritten rule, he naturally hadn’t dared to use temporal回溯 to any history beyond those dozen years from leaving the White Tiger Duke’s mansion to his battle with Di Tian.
“And the subtext of this prophecy is meant for the plane’s consciousness to hear.” After hearing the history as understood by the people of this era from Ye Guyi’s mouth, Huo Yuhao made his judgment.
“The child that will be devoured by the Holy Emperor is me.
The woman giving birth refers to my parents in terms of fortune—that is, the plane’s consciousness of this plane.”
“When I am devoured and transformed into Dai Yuhao, that is when the plane’s consciousness is completely devoured by Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor within the Golden Tree.”
At this point, Huo Yuhao found it bitterly ironic: if he hadn’t defied the heavens to窥探 fate and become a “Spectator,” allowing him to see the Peerless Tang Sect, his understanding of the Douluo Continent—the place of his birth, the land of which he had once been a generation’s favored child—would be even less than Ye Guyi’s, who in his previous life was four years older than him and in this life only one year older.
He would be even further behind living fossils like the Ice Empress and Snow Lady.
“I can only speak these words to you in this necromantic demiplane, shielded by special means.
Otherwise, that ‘Tang the Pure’ in the divine realm can see and hear.”
Huo Yuhao looked at Ye Guyi’s fair face and asked:
“Sister Guyi, I’m afraid I’ll have to put you in a difficult position next: outside this necromantic demiplane, you will certainly face mortal crises.
But if you stay here—or rather, from the perspective of the plane and the divine realm, if you, who should be alive, suddenly vanish into thin air—then the crisis that follows will no longer be merely mortal, but absolute.
How do you choose?”
