Gu Yuena never imagined that she would encounter the same God King aura she had sensed back then here in the Star Dou Forest.
Originally, she had merely followed that aura to investigate, only to find nothing.
This time, she had just been wandering around when an exceptionally powerful spiritual aura suddenly washed over her.
And at the very center of it was Huo Yuhao, meditating while channeling his Life Divine Power.
If an ordinary person saw Huo Yuhao using the “Eye of the Azure Ruins,” they would probably assume it was simply some unusual ability of his Martial Soul.
But Gu Yuena was the Silver Dragon King.
She could clearly sense the source of that power.
Who else could it belong to but the Goddess of Life from the Divine Realm?
But why would the Goddess of Life pass down her God Position Inheritance?
And what about the God of Destruction?
More importantly, why had she passed it on to a boy?
Was he supposed to be called the Male God of Life in the future?
Ever since fleeing from the Douluo Divine Realm, Gu Yuena had spent most of her time in slumber.
People said she had inherited the Dragon God’s wisdom, but the Dragon God himself did not seem to have possessed all that much actual wisdom.
He certainly had plenty of earth-shattering ideas, though.
Besides, Gu Yuena had barely needed to use her own head since coming here.
Whenever something happened, she could simply leave it to Di Tian.
So when faced with a situation like this, her brain had already begun to stall.
That was without even considering the faint aura of destiny surrounding this boy, an aura that shared the same origin as the Auspicious Beast’s and seemed even stronger.
Faced with all of this, Gu Yuena decided that she should go back and get some proper rest first.
As long as it was not that Sea God from back then, there was still time.
She could devise a plan to approach the boy first, then decide how to proceed.
“At least one God King has descended to the Mortal Realm…”
Something major must have happened in the Divine Realm, and this child would undoubtedly learn a great deal about it later.
With her intelligence, getting that information from him when the time came should be easy enough, right?
Then there was the Auspicious Beast.
She would have to find an opportunity to arrange a “chance encounter” between the two of them as well.
Still turning these thoughts over in her mind, Gu Yuena vanished from where she stood.
…
Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes and quietly sensed the changes in his Soul Power.
Not enough.
It still wasn’t enough.
He kept feeling as though he was missing just one more thing that would let him take another step forward.
That’s right.
He still had the Mysterious Water Pill that Sister Lexuan had given him.
Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao swallowed the Mysterious Water Pill and resumed his meditation.
“What a hardworking kid!”
Seeing this, Skydream Ice Worm could not help but admire him.
This kid really did work hard.
In that respect, he was almost a match for her.
Come to think of it, among the things those two Gods had given her, there seemed to be something that could improve his physical constitution.
“Then let Sister give you another little boost!”
Skydream drew out a sliver of power from the sphere of light, mixed it with her own Spiritual Power, and sent it straight into Huo Yuhao’s brow.
…
The light slowly shifted as the golden-red sun sank little by little toward the distant mountains, stretching the shadows of the trees longer and longer.
“Ugh!”
Huo Yuhao spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood and opened his eyes at the same time.
It felt as though every pore in his body had opened.
The sensation of relief was even stronger than when he had first begun meditating.
And then came the next problem…
“It stinks!”
The impurities expelled from his body had already stuck his clothes to his skin, leaving him incredibly uncomfortable.
Feeling so refreshed and miserable at the same time was almost impossible to describe.
And then there was the smell.
If he kept meditating like this, he was afraid he would start fermenting.
Huo Yuhao frowned, unable to endure it any longer.
He glanced toward a nearby stream and immediately sprang to his feet, rushed over in a few strides, and plunged straight into the water.
The stream enveloped his body as the grime was carried away by the current.
Huo Yuhao surfaced and looked down at his reflection in the water, only to stare in astonishment.
“Is that…
me?!”
His skin was now finer and smoother than before, with a faint porcelain-white sheen.
Under the lingering glow of the sunset, it even carried a light rosy tint, making his features look even more delicate and refined.
His hair hung down in soft strands, longer, smoother, and more flowing than before.
More surprisingly, some of the ends had actually turned white!
“Sister Skydream, what happened to my hair?”
“Well…
I don’t know either.
Maybe I accidentally passed some of your Master’s power on to you, and this is what happened?”
But if that was the case, why wasn’t his hair purple and green?
And Xiao Yuhao really was quite a feast for the eyes like this, hehe…
No, no.
Her heart would always belong to Bing Bing.
Still, he really was nice to look at, hehehe…
“Sister Skydream…”
Huo Yuhao gave Skydream a long look.
She was currently staring at him with an incredibly lecherous expression.
Was she really reliable?
Wait.
Who was this girl in front of him?
She had tousled pale-golden hair that fell naturally along both sides of her face, large round eyes, deep brown irises dotted with golden specks of light, and a faint natural blush on her cheeks.
Combined with the long blue-and-white robe that covered her entire body, patterned with ice silkworm designs, she gave off an overall soft and adorable impression.
“You’re…
Sister Skydream?”
Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded.
Just moments ago, she had been a plump giant worm, yet now she had suddenly turned into a human girl.
“Ah!
What is it?
What is it?”
“That outfit of yours…”
“Oh, this appearance is Sister too, of course.
It makes communicating with you easier.
So?
Were you stunned by Sister’s beauty all over again?”
Huo Yuhao had no desire to continue that conversation.
Skydream had already entered a state of complete self-admiration.
“Uh, well…
my Soul Power Rank seems to be almost at Level 20.”
“What?!”
Skydream carefully sensed his condition and discovered that Huo Yuhao really was close to Level 20.
She had not expected this at all.
Originally, she had planned to wait a few months until he cultivated to this level before taking him to the Extreme North.
But now he had practically shot straight to Level 20.
Did that mean she needed to move her plan forward?
Actually, if Huo Yuhao had told Skydream Ice Worm everything that had happened to him earlier, this would not have seemed so strange.
When the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life entered the Spirit Sea Realm, Huo Yuhao had already been raised to Level 10.
Since the God of Destruction had insisted that improving his physical constitution take priority, Huo Yuhao had not gained a Soul Ring at the time.
His long period of cultivation beforehand, the surge in Soul Power after Skydream provided him with a Soul Ring, Zhang Lexuan’s Mysterious Water Pill, and now a trace of Divine Power.
All of these factors together had allowed Huo Yuhao to rise ten levels in one go!
After receiving so many different enhancements, Huo Yuhao could now truly be said to have undergone a complete transformation.
Skydream carefully examined Huo Yuhao.
His physical condition was already excellent, and with those two inside him as well, getting Bing Bing to join them no longer seemed particularly difficult.
“Yuhao, I have a plan.
Want to hear it?”
Skydream then explained her plan to travel to the Extreme North, find the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion that was about to undergo its Tribulation, and convince it to join them.
“399,000 years?
Sister Skydream, are you really sure about this?
We’re not going to end up getting chewed up as snacks, are we?”
“Relax, relax.
I swear on all my experience, I would never get involved in something I wasn’t confident about.
Back in the day, when I was in the Star Dou Forest…”
“Haha.”
Huo Yuhao let out a couple of awkward laughs and quickly stopped her there.
The way Sister Skydream said that sounded painfully miserable.
“All right, it’s settled!
Next stop, the Extreme North!”
