Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 110 The Return of the Ocean

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and tried to communicate with the sea using his mental power, but the information the sea conveyed was very simple, and it kept repeating some things to him.

The abyss of the deep sea—I hate it, I don't like it.

"..." Huo Yuhao was speechless for a moment. He could only tell Elder Yi and the others this information while he began to ascend. The pressure here was still very high for him. He couldn't think too much. He would let Elder Yi and the others discuss the situation first.

Upon hearing the message relayed by Huo Yuhao, the Ice Emperor and his companions exchanged bewildered glances. "When did Yuhao get involved with the ocean?"

Tianmeng was also somewhat confused, "Could it be that the lineage of Duke White Tiger is actually the illegitimate son of the Sea God?"

"...You're the one who's outrageous." Hyotei secretly rolled his eyes.

"Is it a matter of planes and authority?"

Xue Di frowned and pondered for a moment, then looked at Electrolux, "Elder Electrolux, what do you think?"

“I’m afraid that’s the case.” Electrox nodded. “The rulers of physical planes usually don’t have much consciousness; they only have an instinct to maintain their planes. Of course, this doesn’t include plane rulers like Tang Hao who have been transformed into God-Kings.”

"The ruler of the plane in the past was this planet itself. But Douluo is different from the Abyss Plane. The ruler of the plane here only has instinctive consciousness and cannot take concrete actions. So when a true god descends to this world, the ruler of the plane naturally cannot control the god's behavior."

"Uh, Mr. Yi, could you explain this a little more clearly?" Tianmeng raised her hand and asked, "I can't keep up with your train of thought."

Old Yi paused, then asked, "You just subconsciously thought that the ocean was under the control of the sea god, why?"

“Because the sea spirit beasts worship the sea god, and the laws that the sea god wields are also related to the ocean.” Tianmeng frowned as she said this. “Elder Yi, do you mean that the ocean in the Douluo plane does not recognize the plane itself, but rather the sea god?”

"Yes."

Electrox asserted, "How could mere instinctive dimensional consciousness possibly compare to a first-level god? The Sea God Tang San has spent a long time on Douluo Continent, leaving behind numerous legends, and many sea spirit beasts worship him. The ruler acknowledged by the ocean of the Douluo plane has long since transformed from the plane itself into the Sea God."

This state is fraught with hidden dangers. The ocean occupies a very large area in the plane. If the ocean is not under the control of the plane, the life energy mobilized by the plane's consciousness will be greatly reduced, and the maintenance of the ecosystem will develop in a pathological direction.

However, Electrolux did not bring up the matter at this time, since the potential threat seemed to have disappeared.

"Ten thousand years ago, Yuhao was a person favored by the plane and had nothing to do with the sea god, but now he is close to the ocean. You should be able to figure out why."

As Electrolux spoke, his expression turned strange.

Although Huo Yuhao lived in the coastal city of Donghai, he had never been to the ocean. He never expected to miss such important information until today.

Hyotei and Tenmu fully understood what Elder Yi meant and were somewhat astonished.

That sentence... contains a lot of information.

First of all, doesn't the fact that the ocean is close to Yuhao mean that the authority over the ocean has returned to the sea god?
But what circumstances would allow the ocean, which has already accepted the sea god, to return to the embrace of the plane?

Both Tenmu and Hyotei could only think of one scenario.

"Tang San, the Sea God... should we still call him the Sea God?" Ice Emperor murmured.

"I'm afraid it's impossible." Tianmeng clicked her tongue, then looked at Electrolux with some surprise, "So, the original plane's consciousness is still there, and the plane's master isn't actually Tang Hao, as Yuhao said?"

If Tang Hao is the ruler of this plane, then the ocean cannot be close to Yu Hao. Only if the original plane consciousness is still present could such a situation occur.

"No, it should be that both coexist."

Electrolux shattered Tianmeng's beautiful illusions, "There's a gap between a plane's consciousness and a true god. Its instinct alone makes it difficult to overtake Tang Hao; it can only barely maintain its current state. The return of the ocean's authority further strengthens its power, making it difficult for Tang Hao to completely refine it and become a perfect plane master." At this point, Electrolux looked at the Snow Empress, who was deep in thought, "Of course, besides the ocean, the far north and the starry sky are also obstacles preventing him from completely becoming a plane master."

However, these are just supplements; only when there is something to make the consciousness of the plane rise with the will to resist can there be a chance of survival.

Electrolux glanced at the mark on the throne, seemingly casually.

Is this the person?

Upon hearing this, Xue Di smiled gently, "He got what he asked for. Yu Hao let me live, so he benefited from it, which is only right."

Electrolux looked away and nodded slightly.

Yuhao's initial plan inadvertently yielded a trump card.

The Snow Empress is a snow spirit born and raised in the far north, with a deep connection to the plane of existence. Moreover, she has lived in the far north for hundreds of thousands of years, accumulating immense power and influence; she is the faith of the far north.

In a sense, like the sea god who took away the power over the ocean, she holds half the power over the far north.

Needless to say, the Starry Sky Forest is home to auspicious beasts that symbolize the fortune of the stars.

With the Snow Empress and the auspicious beast together, the dimensional consciousness has a way out. As long as it retreats to the area of ​​Starry Sky and the far north, it will be more troublesome for Tang Hao to refine it.

Unless they disappear.

Without refining the plane's consciousness, Tang Hao cannot bypass it to directly attack these two; the plane's consciousness will definitely follow its instincts to protect them.

It's stuck in a vicious cycle.

"However, that doesn't mean he won't let others attack you and the auspicious beast."

Old Master Yi frowned and looked at Xue Di, "The time you spent retraining was during your period of weakness, did anything happen to you?"

Hyotei also turned to stare at Yuki-tei instantly, "Yuki-er?"

Seeing their gazes, Xue Di smiled helplessly and said, "Why are you all so distrustful of me, just like Yu Hao?"

Hyotei: "Because you don't know how to run like Yuhao, and you don't know how to hide like him."

Xue Di was taken aback, then shook her head with amusement, "Don't worry, it's really nothing. I still remember what Yu Hao said back then, since the start of the reconstruction, I haven't left the Far North Branch..."

Ten thousand years ago, Huo Yuhao told her a story during his free time.

"There was a 100,000-year-old soul beast who was the leader of a gathering place for soul beasts. She also had a 100,000-year-old soul beast companion who called her 'sister,' and she was trustworthy. But when she transformed and began her cultivation again, she didn't tell anyone. Then, on the very day she began her cultivation again, a Title Douluo took advantage of the situation and captured her. Snow Empress, do you think it was worth it for her to do this?"

I don't know why, but when I first heard that story, Xue Di felt like I was being subtly insulted.

It seemed that she was the 100,000-year-old soul beast, and Xiaobai was another trustworthy 100,000-year-old soul beast. As for who that Title Douluo was, Xue Di didn't know.

So, under the guise of instructing Yuhao in swordsmanship, she gave him a good beating... though not with full force.

At the same time, she also remembered that story deeply. This time, she arranged for trustworthy ferocious beasts and soul masters to protect her during her retraining. She was covered with the trump cards and soul tools that Yuhao had left her, and she stayed in the far north branch, not giving anyone a chance to attack her.

"Alright, let's not talk about me anymore. You haven't forgotten what Yuhao mentioned, have you? The ocean is currently very hostile to the Abyss. Based on our deductions, the fragments of divine power here are probably... from the Sea God, right?"
