Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 139 Gu Yuena: Yuhao is inexplicably trustworthy!

night.

Ji Juechen brought Jing Ziyan to Huo Yuhao's courtyard. The latter had no idea how Ji Juechen and Huo Yuhao had suddenly become friends.

Is this how men are? They were fighting tooth and nail before, and now they've suddenly become friends and even invited each other to a farewell barbecue. I can't understand it, I really can't understand it.

However, she understood Ji Juechen's personality well. Since Huo Yuhao was able to become his rival, it was not surprising that the two of them had become friends.

This is, well, how should I put it, mutual recognition among geniuses.

"When it comes to drinking, I've never lost to anyone, Ji Juechen. You're no match for this genius, you know that!"

Xiao Hongchen was clearly drunk. Just like last time when he was arm in arm with those ministers, he was now calling Ji Juechen his brother.

As for Ji Juechen, he remained silent, seemingly oblivious to Xiao Hongchen's clamor, and kept drinking one cup after another. Soon, two people lay undignifiedly in Huo Yuhao's courtyard.

Helpless, Meng Hongchen had no choice but to leave with her embarrassing older brother. Before leaving, she glanced at Huo Yuhao with reluctance, while her eyes held a warning as she looked at Gu Yuena.

The meaning is clear: you better behave yourself, I'm watching you!

Ji Juechen was also taken away by Jing Ziyan, leaving only Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena in the courtyard.

"What are you going to do?"

Looking at the calm surface of the artificial lake, Gu Yuena brushed her hair behind her head and asked softly.

"Remember when I said I'd help you recover from your injuries? The place we're going to next will help you balance the problems in your body to the greatest extent possible, and perhaps, it will even help you stop your blood vessels from being torn apart."

"At that time, I will help you harmonize the energy conflicts within your body, enhance your elemental stability, recover from your injuries to the greatest extent possible, and bring your bloodline conflicts to a balance."

Huo Yuhao spoke calmly, turning slightly to look at Gu Yuena.

"Why are you helping me like this?"

Gu Yuena still couldn't understand. The six months she spent in the human world had taught her many things, but there were still some things she just couldn't figure out no matter what.

Although the two were allies, it was only in name. She didn't think Huo Yuhao needed to do anything for her because she hadn't helped him much.

“As I said, we are like-minded friends with the same goals. Only I can play this game. Helping you is actually helping myself.”

"Besides, we're allies, aren't we!"

The branches and leaves are lush and green, letting in the moonlight. Gu Yuena smiled gently, propped herself up on the clean grass, and sat by the lake, swinging her fair legs.

“My injuries are far more serious than you imagine. I’ve been recuperating at the Lake of Life for so long, and even with the help of the Gold of Life, I haven’t fully recovered. I can’t think of any way you could possibly cure my injuries.”

As she spoke, she turned slightly to meet Huo Yuhao's gaze, her purple eyes reflecting his image as if stirring ripples in the water.

"But Huo Yuhao, for some reason, you feel a sense of trust right now."

In her mind, Huo Yuhao must be a powerful being who came to Douluo Star from another dimension, because he said that they were much more magnificent than gods, and he did indeed possess a world.

Although I don't know why we're so weak now, and I can't figure out why Huo Yuhao is willing to play those 'boring leveling-up games' here, he must have his own purpose.

He seemed to know everything, and had extremely detailed plans for every step he took. He knew about the gods, knew about his own existence, and even knew how to help himself recover from his injuries.

That's enough. If possible, she'd like to become true friends with Huo Yuhao. If he really has a way to help her recover from her injuries, what does it matter if his future opponent is the God King of the God Realm?

"thanks for your trust."

Turning his face away, Huo Yuhao looked at the water and inadvertently caught sight of a pair of fair feet before quickly looking away again.

He knew that the trust between the two had increased a lot. As long as Gu Yuena recovered some of her injuries, even if she regained half of her original strength, it would be more than enough.

She can help me solve many problems, such as Tang Hao, who may be fighting for power with the will of the plane, and Ah Yin, who is preparing to replace the life core of Douluo Star.

As for why, besides the factors of the third party, he also wanted to help the plane will of Douluo Star as much as possible, since helping Douluo Star is helping himself.

The benefits of being the Chosen One are undeniable. However, if Tang Hao were to replace the will of Douluo Star, he would be put on the defensive, as evidenced by the Chosen One of Destiny ten thousand years later in the original storyline.

Look at how Tang Hao, that scoundrel, has manipulated us! All the good stuff ends up in Tang's hands; it's utterly unreasonable.

Even with only half her original strength, Gu Yuena, once recovered, would be more than capable of crushing the scoundrel's parents. As for those two soul beast scum from the Clear Sky Sect—whether they are truly soul beast scum is another matter, and irrelevant to him—but if they might affect his future safety, then I'm sorry.

On the other hand, he also wanted to see what choice the little scoundrel would make if he held Tang Hao's soul in one hand and Ah Yin's soul in the other.

Do you really enjoy threatening people with their souls?
Use Huo Yun'er's soul to put a dog leash on Huo?
They even call it advance planning, a test of Huo's character, which is disgusting. So, Huo will fight fire with fire, and how will you, you little bastard, deal with it?
Then, recalling what this seemingly pure and innocent pseudo-god king said ten thousand years ago—that the divine realm should not interfere with the lower realm, and that god kings and deities should set an example—he was unwilling to help Ma Hongjun, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, revive Bai Chenxiang.

But why did you leave all your own people behind in the realm of gods, while watching your own teacher and those who had been kind to you die of old age? That's very hypocritical.

Limited spots available?

Stop joking, it's just an excuse. Even destruction can help Ma Hongjun get Bai Chenxiang's soul, but you, Tang Shenwang, as the eldest brother, are useless.

Ultimately, it's just because he wants to establish a 'glorious and majestic' image of integrity and selflessness in the divine realm, and besides, Ma Hongjun is only a second-level god, so he's not very useful.

If the roles of offense and defense change, will our Great God King Tang choose death as a just cause?

Fun, really fun!
"why are you laughing?"

Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao, who had a smile on his face, and felt very strange.

"Nothing, just thought of something funny."

"By the way, I think you should have Di Tian bring your original essence with you. This situation is different from the past, so it's always good to be careful."

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Yuena nodded almost imperceptibly, but still seemed uneasy.

"The reason I sealed away a large amount of the original essence is because I was worried about being detected by the consciousness of the other plane, especially if those guys from the God Realm found out."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand, "Don't worry, if the current plane really notices your existence, it won't target you; it might even offer you benefits."

It's obvious without even thinking that the plane consciousnesses have been under immense pressure from Tang Shenwang's father. If they knew about Gu Yuena, they would be overjoyed, not possibly targeting her.

After all, whether they are humans or soul beasts, they are all beings of Douluo Star. In the eyes of the plane, they are all treated equally, regardless of which side can help Douluo Star grow.

There is no hierarchy of discrimination like in the divine realm here. Soul beasts and humans are not distinguished by rank or status in the eyes of the plane's will.

These words stunned Gu Yuena for a moment. She didn't understand, but she also felt that Huo Yuhao wouldn't make such a statement without reason.

"Okay, I will."

After a long pause, he asked again, "Can you tell me our goal this time, Yuhao?"

Without hesitation, the change in address signified a shift in trust between the two, and Huo Yuhao had no intention of hiding it, as it was only a matter of time.

"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the Sunset Forest is one of the three great treasure basins in the world. It is the place where your Soul Beast clan fell to the Water and Fire Dragon Kings."

"Although so much time has passed, the bloodline of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings should not have dissipated. With the help of the ice and fire attributes in the Yin-Yang Well, the energy in your body should be able to harmonize with each other."

The spring water in the Yin-Yang Well possesses both extreme Yin and Yang attributes, much like a Yin-Yang complementary soul core, which can use external forces to form a balanced cycle of different attributes of energy within the body.

His goal was to use the principle of the Soul Core to allow Gu Yuena to use the Yin and Yang attributes, or rather the ice and fire attributes, within the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire to harmonize the energy conflicts within her body and, with the help of external stimulation, achieve a balance between the different attributes of energy.

It governs the elemental energies in the body with powerful and balanced ice and fire energies, or water and fire energies.

If even a trace of the Water and Fire Dragon King's bloodline remains, it could even balance the bloodline conflict caused by Gu Yuena's injury and stabilize her divine status. As for whether the Water and Fire Dragon King will acknowledge the bloodline, that is not important.

If the soft approach doesn't work, you can always try the hard one.

Gu Yuena hesitated, clearly knowing something about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well that Huo Yuhao had mentioned.

Although she has been asleep all these years, she has not done a lot of research on the trump cards to fight against the divine realm. The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire contains divine arrangements, which is why she has stayed under the Lake of Life all these years but has not been willing to approach it.

Seemingly sensing Gu Yuena's thoughts, Huo Yuhao smiled.

"Don't worry, the gods can't interfere there yet, rest assured."

These words inexplicably reassured Gu Yuena. Looking at the confident Huo Yuhao and the charm in his expression, she smiled sweetly and nodded gently.
