Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 613 Striving to Become a God (Part 2)

Gold, still gold.

When Huo Yuhao's soul returned and his consciousness returned, he discovered that his soul power itself had changed, and a strange light had appeared within it. This strange light was dreamlike and illusory, appearing as black and white colors intertwined within his original soul power.

In summary, his soul power had turned pale gold, and outside this pale gold soul power, there was a faint light membrane. This light membrane was composed of black and white.

With this additional layer of light, Huo Yuhao was astonished to discover that the quality of his soul power had become even more noble, filled with a strange fluctuation. This fluctuation was related to his soul, seemingly completely fused with his spiritual power and consciousness. Or rather, his spiritual power, soul power, and consciousness seemed to no longer be separate, becoming the same type of power. In this light, the black and white light membrane enveloping his soul power was probably…

“Divinity, huh…” Huo Yuhao murmured.

Just then, the seven soul spirits in his spiritual sea also sensed the return of Huo Yuhao's soul and immediately became excited. Their few remaining anxieties vanished at that moment!

"Yuhao! You're finally back!"

In a sudden, earth-shattering event, before Huo Yuhao's consciousness could even return to its senses, a chubby, white figure suddenly darted over and crashed into his arms.

"Ouch—, Brother Tianmeng, what's wrong?"

The familiar soul aura made Huo Yuhao choose not to resist, and instead let Tianmeng hug him. But the hug lasted no more than three seconds before Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was hooked up by Ice Emperor's scorpion tail, like a piece of fat being hung up, suspended in mid-air.

"Why are you so excited!? Do you want to crush Yuhao to death!?" No matter how much Tianmeng Ice Silkworm begged for mercy, Bingdi continued to swing it mercilessly until the remaining five soul spirits were gathered together. Only then did she put Tianmeng down, giving him some face.

But everyone knows the situation of both.

Tianmeng has long lost face in front of everyone!
After some pleasantries, the seven spirits fell silent. They exchanged glances with Huo Yuhao, and finally, it was Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the most senior "eldest brother," who spoke:
"Yuhao, have you seen the gods?"

Huo Yuhao didn't ask Tianmeng and the others how they knew. He simply nodded without hesitation in the face of the expectant, or rather, hopeful, gazes of the seven soul spirits, and then said:
"Everyone, I did it!"

These six simple words convey a wealth of information!
In an instant, a feeling of relief and triumph washed over the seven spirits. This was especially true for Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, followed by Ice Emperor.

Who could know the excitement in their hearts?!
For example, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm:

Back then, in order to escape the ferocious beasts like Di Tian and to ensure his own survival, he sought out Huo Yuhao, a weakling to the core. At the time, even he himself felt the chances were slim. But who would have thought that they would succeed now!

Or perhaps Hyotei:
Back then, facing a tribulation that would last for four hundred thousand years, with absolutely no hope of surviving, they could only gamble everything when the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm brought Huo Yuhao. And now, it has actually succeeded!
In human terms, it's like taking a copper soul coin as seed money and ending up earning 10 billion gold soul coins!
As for the other five soul spirits, they are no exception.

But at least when they joined, even the earliest Ahri, Huo Yuhao's talent was already very strong.

Therefore, compared to Tianmeng and Bingdi, they were more excited than they felt a sense of relief after hardship.

Even Huo Yuhao couldn't escape this emotional state. Moreover, Dong'er's safety was now even more secure, and with the appearance of a divine position and the possibility of fulfilling his promise to Tianmeng and the others, everything seemed to be starting to look bright!
"By the way, I need to tell Brother Junting about this."

After the initial joy, Huo Yuhao suddenly realized what was happening.

Tianmeng Bingcan and the others didn't care about this.

In their eyes, Yuhao, their elder brother, and his sect were also great contributors! Without him and his sect, Yuhao's chances of obtaining a godhood might have been 30-40% lower.

So Tianmeng Bingcan, who was already in a state of silly joy, waved her hand dismissively and said, "Go, go."

The outside world at this moment,
As soon as Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, he saw that his elder brother Junting's gaze was on him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Just moments ago, the instant Huo Yuhao's soul returned, Electrolux sensed it. And at the same time, Electrolux also informed Chen Junting of something he had expected: Huo Yuhao possessed a divine seed.

This undoubtedly indicates the choice of the god of emotions.

"Brother Junting, I'm sorry. I just..."

"There's no need for humility; it's just human nature."

Although it took some time, Chen Junting didn't mind.

As he said, it's perfectly normal for him and his seven soul spirits to be happy after Huo Yuhao obtained a godhood.

But since we've already had our share of joy,
Then we need to talk about something not so pleasant.

"Have you talked to Senior Emotions about Dong'er's matter?"

As the smile faded, silence became the dominant tone. After a brief recap, Huo Yuhao recounted his conversation with Rong Nianbing to Chen Junting, word for word.

“Brother Junting, Tang San has cultivated a very good image in the God Realm. Even Senior Emotion doesn’t quite believe what I’m saying.”

"It's normal to have a good image; it would be strange if you had a bad image."

Chen Junting remained calm and unsurprised.

A hypocrite always has to consider his image.

It must be said that among all the people in his memory, Tang San is indeed one of the best hypocrites who can manage his image so flawlessly that he is completely convincing.

That's something that can't be denied.

After all, in the Douluo Continent, Tang San was the savior; but in the God Realm, Tang San was wholeheartedly devoted to the God King of the God Realm. Even when the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction were asleep, the God of Destruction, who had a different path from Tang San, ultimately chose to believe in him. As for the establishment of the Great God Circle and what happened afterward, that goes without saying!
Tang San is a completely noble, glorious, and righteous figure!

Under these circumstances, how can you expect Rong Nianbing to believe your one-sided story? Even if you are his chosen successor, it won't work.

Fortunately...

"But no matter what, he still chose to believe. Even if he didn't have many other options to believe. Wasn't that right?"

Chen Junting sat cross-legged on the ground, tapping his knees with his fingers.

"Ok?"

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

But he quickly realized that was true; after all, wasn't that his original goal?

etc--

That's not what I meant!

Realizing that Brother Junting seemed to have misunderstood him, Huo Yuhao quickly spoke up. "Brother Junting, what I meant was..."

"I know I know."

A hand suddenly reached out, stopping his anxiety.

"You're thinking about what we'll do with a god-king with such a 'great, glorious, and righteous' image when we become gods and enter the divine realm, right?"

Seeing Huo Yuhao nod, Chen Junting understood his concerns.

After all, no matter what, the two sides will eventually clash. This final showdown will ultimately be laid bare in the eyes of the gods.

But then…

From a moral standpoint, Tang San is a God-King of the God Realm Committee; logically speaking, the image Tang San has cultivated is not so easy to dismantle; in terms of strength… that's still uncertain. But his influence will definitely be much greater than that of those who have just entered the God Realm!
"Clap--"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's brows furrowed so deeply they looked like pretzel, Chen Junting calmly patted his shoulder, telling him not to worry. "This is still a long way off, why are you so anxious now?"

A single interruption caused Huo Yuhao's brow to relax. Meeting his slightly surprised gaze, Chen Junting's relaxed atmosphere remained unchanged. "Your most important task now is to pass the remaining tests, then focus on improving your strength and inheriting the divine position."

As for the rest…

The hand that had been patting Huo Yuhao's shoulder suddenly felt heavier.
"Didn't that senior God of Emotions tell you not to worry about things in the divine realm? He will protect you."

"To put it bluntly, when we're not gods, we're not even on the same level. It's like a chess player and a chess piece. How can a chess piece play against a chess player? You're not qualified! You understand?"

That's the absolute truth!

Like a hammer, it woke Huo Yuhao up in an instant!

Seeing this, Chen Junting nodded in satisfaction.

He patted the sand off his bottom and slowly got up.

"Now that we've accomplished what we wanted to do, it's time for your assessment. Come on, come back with me and get some rest for the night. We'll continue our special training tomorrow."

"it is good!"

Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao stood up.

So the two of them returned to the Sea God's family.

"We're back."

Only Gu Tianchen and his group were in the hotel lounge. When they heard that familiar voice, they immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

"came back."

After a brief greeting, everyone sat down.

After Gu Tianchen and Wang Dong'er each brewed a cup of tea and placed it in front of Chen Junting and Huo Yuhao, Wu Feng approached with a curious look, "Sword Master, where did you take my little brother just now? You were gone for a full two and a half hours."

"So you've been gone for quite a while." Chen Junting took a small sip of tea, his tone seemingly unconcerned.

"You guy..."

Clearly, Wu Feng was not satisfied with Chen Junting's answer. However, she could roughly guess his thoughts, which were mostly related to Yu Hao. Whether to reveal them was up to Yu Hao himself.

So, he turned his questioning gaze to Huo Yuhao.

Without even asking, Huo Yuhao gave half the answer. "Actually, my situation is the same as Dong'er's right now."

Like Wang Dong'er?
For a moment, no one could react.

"hiss--"

Suddenly, Dugu Xin gasped, drawing everyone's attention. He stared blankly at Huo Yuhao's brow, looking left and right, seemingly unable to reach a conclusion.

Now everyone understood.

Beibei's eyes widened in shock. "Yuhao, are you saying that you, like Dong'er, received the divine inheritance?!"

Huo Yuhao remained silent, only nodding repeatedly.

At this moment, the shock in Beibei's eyes lingered.

Similarly, there's also radish.

The others, however, were much better than the two.

"What's so shocking about that?"

Ma Xiaotao was better than just "shocked"; she simply suppressed her surprise and then expressed her opinion without any concern.

"As everyone knows, Yuhao's talent and strength are even greater than Dong'er's. Since Dong'er was favored by Ancestor Tang San, Yuhao might just attract the attention of other gods as well."

In short: Unexpected, yet perfectly logical.

This viewpoint aligns with almost everyone's opinion.

"I…"

Beibei uttered only one word, and after a silent exchange of glances with He Caitou, she shook her head with a slightly bitter expression.

Was he shocked by that?
Do not!
He also knew that Yuhao had this ability.

But as the next head of the Sea God's Pavilion, he had to consider the interests of Shrek Academy. Now, Dong'er possessed the Sea God's inheritance, but she was at most only a third of the people of Shrek Academy, not even a quarter or less. As for Huo Yuhao, he now had little to do with Shrek Academy. But what about the two of them at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Huo Yuhao is a true member of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!

As for Wang Dong'er, she is Huo Yuhao's lover, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the two will inevitably be together. At that time, Wang Dong'er will be considered one-half or even more of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School members.

Besides, there are quite a few promising geniuses in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. If they were to become gods, each of these geniuses might have a chance. If they did, Shrek Academy's prestige would undoubtedly decline to its lowest point since ten thousand years ago.

It's tough for him!
However, public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters.

On this point, Bei Bei was quite clear about the distinction. So, amidst everyone's congratulations, she also congratulated Huo Yuhao.

In addition, Huo Yuhao's experience has also ignited the passion in everyone's hearts, or rather, their competitive spirit!
Everyone considers themselves strong.
Nobody wants to fall behind!

Everyone wants to try to gain the favor of the gods and eventually become a god!
However, before gaining the favor of the gods, they still had to pass the remaining tests, which were the final tests given to them by the sea god.

"Old Chen (Jun Ting/Brother Jun Ting...), please enlighten me!"

"Easy to say."

So after that, Huo Yuhao and the other eleven faced Chen Junting twice a day, using all sorts of methods. Chen Junting's attitude also became increasingly serious, from the initial playfulness to Huo Yuhao and the others treating him like a real examiner, and even their attacks became increasingly fierce.

For a time, everyone was in great distress. But even so, no one complained, and they all persevered.

Time passed quickly.

Just as the deadline for their sixth test was fast approaching, Rong Nianbing from the God Realm had already approached Tang San.

……

"Lord Sea God, the God of Emotions requests an audience."

At that moment, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Sea God, who was dealing with affairs of the divine realm. "Oh? Then let him in."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up.

With its simple structure, it appears incredibly majestic.
