Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 268 The Guidance of Destiny

Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't say anything. He agreed and prepared to try to win over Mu Lao by behaving like Huo Yuhao in the original novel. He winked and smiled, "Teacher, would you like me to help you to a place to rest?"

Elder Mu turned to look at him with some surprise, then smiled with relief: "I can manage on my own, go ahead. This seclusion is very important for all of you. Relax, reflect on everything from the past and the various aspects of cultivation, and I believe you will gain something from it."

"Yes."

Huo Yuhao then let go of her hand and walked towards the first passageway on the right. When he reached the entrance of the passageway, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Elder Mu with a smile, "Elder Mu, wait for me to come out. I'll make you a hot pot. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that it would damage your image. Besides, it's a clear broth nourishing hot pot, which is very suitable for the elderly!"

Old Mu was slightly taken aback. Looking at the mischievous smile on Huo Yuhao's face, he chuckled and said, "It's rare that you have this kind of thought. Let's talk about it after you come out."

Huo Yuhao grinned and then walked into the passageway.

Di Qianqiu was the first to arrive at the destination, the first passageway on the right, the first door.

The door was made of wood, seemingly the same kind of golden tree wood that Elder Mu had mentioned. He reached out and pushed; the door appeared to be ajar, but with a gentle push, it opened.

However, the instant she opened the door, Di Qianqiu felt an incredibly dense aura of light rush towards him, the pure and intense light element almost suffocating him. The next moment, a suction force appeared, pulling her body inside.

Upon entering the room, Di Qianqiu's gaze immediately froze. It was a room of only about ten square meters. What she saw was countless roots hanging down from the ceiling, almost covering every corner of the room's walls and floor. If they were just tree roots, they wouldn't have surprised her. What surprised her was that these roots were all golden yellow, and the strong aura of light emanated from them.

Right in the center of the room, a round futon shimmered with a faint golden light, and a rich aura of light was constantly spreading outward from it. The light element here was so concentrated that it was almost liquid!

Di Qianqiu felt as if her heart had been cleansed, as if she had returned to the feeling of being bathed in the golden light before arriving at the Sea God Pavilion. She understood somewhat; the golden light they had been bathed in seemed to belong to the power of the Golden Tree, but she didn't know who had activated it.

This was more than just an opportunity; it was a blessing. Di Qianqiu quickly stepped forward and sat down cross-legged on the futon.

Instantly, an incredibly dense aura of light surged upwards from beneath her, and in that instant, her entire being transformed into a crystalline gold. Her soul power flowed naturally; she didn't even need to do anything, and in the next moment, she had entered a meditative state. At this point, it was no longer her absorbing light elements, but rather the light elements flowing into her body.

Her mind became clearer than ever before, light elements flowed naturally, her soul power circulated at high speed, and her spirit was more vigorous than ever before. Various thoughts appeared in her mind, clear and distinct. Various insights also arose, and in just a few breaths, she entered a state of deep meditation.

Unlike ordinary deep meditation where the mind is clear and empty, her brain was working at high speed at this moment, and her various abilities and experiences began to be integrated in the process of enlightenment.

"Di Qianqiu." Just as Di Qianqiu was experiencing the wonderful clarity of mind during deep meditation, a gentle voice suddenly rang in her heart, and this unexpected voice immediately startled her.

"Elder Mu?" Di Qianqiu thought subconsciously. "Can you tell me why the Emperor Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest would take such a great risk to enter our Shrek Academy? Also, why can't I sense any soul beast aura from you?"

Di Qianqiu's pupils instantly contracted to the size of pinpoints, his hair stood on end, and he was utterly horrified, instantly waking up from his meditation!

He's discovered my identity!?
How is that possible?! The master clearly said that I am blessed with good fortune, and unless I die, no one can possibly discover my true identity!
"Surprised? Don't worry, if I really wanted to kill you, even if Di Tian were here, it wouldn't matter. Don't forget, this is Shrek Academy, the Sea God Pavilion." Elder Mu's voice remained gentle, seemingly unaware of any astonishing secret he had discovered.

Di Qianqiu took a deep breath, forcing his voice to remain steady: "That's right, I am indeed the Emperor Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Just as I suspected, it seems I was right."

Di Qianqiu's eyes widened immediately: "You, you were just bluffing me?"

Old Mu's voice rarely revealed a hint of sarcasm: "So what if it is? You've already exposed yourself anyway."

Di Qianqiu was instantly furious, and said bitterly, "Humans are indeed cunning!"

Old Mu sighed softly, "If humanity hadn't learned to use its brains, it probably would have gone extinct long ago. How could we have achieved such a prosperous state today?"

Di Qianqiu was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I still want to know, how exactly did you find out my identity?"

Mu Laocang's voice carried a strange tone: "Once, when I went to the Star Dou Great Forest, I saw the Emperor Beast hunting in the distance. I vaguely felt that it was emitting a strange energy. That should be the so-called power of destiny, right? And just now, you resonated with the Golden Ancient Tree and also emitted a faint trace of the power of destiny, which felt familiar to me."

"Furthermore, you bear the surname Di and claim to be from a small mountain village surrounding the Star Dou Great Forest. Heh, although it seems unbelievable, I still made a bold assumption, and I never expected that you would actually be the Emperor Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Elder Mu suddenly asked curiously, "Little fellow, did Di Tian send you? With your status, why would you risk coming to the human world? What exactly does your Star Dou Great Forest want?"

Di Qianqiu fell silent, unsure how to respond. She absolutely could not tell this human powerhouse the senses she had gained from Huo Yuhao. Although they seemed to know each other well, it concerned the entire soul beast race, so how could she dare to take the risk?
Fortunately, Elder Mu seemed very patient and did not rush her. After a while, Di Qianqiu suddenly remembered a sentence that Huo Yuhao had once said to her: "Don't believe in so-called 'destiny'. Everything in the world is constantly changing and developing. Even seemingly naturally opposed races like humans and soul beasts may be able to find an opportunity to coexist peacefully."

As if possessed, Di Qianqiu finally spoke: "In just ten thousand years, the Star Dou Great Forest has been driven to such a state by you humans. If this continues, I wonder if the Star Dou Great Forest will still exist in another ten thousand years? Humans are too powerful now. We cannot completely eliminate them. We can only hope to find a way to coexist with them. It was fate that brought me to the human world. As for the reason, I do not know."

"The guidance of fate?"

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Mu murmured these five words, and the image of Huo Yuhao, a young man who had appeared out of nowhere and whose mind and vision far surpassed those of ordinary people at such a young age, instantly flashed in his old eyes!
Fate is subtly hinting that everyone should throw in their monthly tickets and recommendation votes. You know what I mean, hehehe~~
