Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 150 Apology and the Lord of the Underworld
The smile on Huo Yuhao's face at that moment was more than enough to make him want to play cards on the set of Yu-Gi-Oh! next door.

After Tianmeng compiled all the data of the Golden Ancient Tree into the server-side archives, she looked at Huo Yuhao with a puzzled expression, at his smile that could stop a child from crying at night.

"Yuhao, what's wrong now?"

"Your smile is terrifying."

Huo Yuhao coughed lightly, regaining his composure. The thought of Dai Huabin getting his comeuppance made him want to laugh.

"It's okay, I'm going to the Soul Arena to cheer on my dearest brother."

"I'm the only one in this world who's been this good to his younger brother."

"They would think of him whenever they got something good, without holding anything back."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately realized who Huo Yuhao's brother was. He suddenly remembered a plan that Huo Yuhao had personally stored in the server—"Ultimate Insult"!
With Huo Yuhao's permission, he read the plan, and the whole silkworm was in trouble. The golden little boy formed from spiritual power suddenly tightened his bladder.

It's hard to imagine that this is a plan that a human could come up with. The guy who designed this plan has no use having anything else at home!

Especially in a world where bisexuality is the absolute mainstream, this project called "Ultimate Insult" is absolutely a double destruction of a person's body and personality!
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said tremblingly:

"elder brother?"

"Is it Dai Cinan from the plan?"

"Ah~ Hahahaha, Yuhao, you're so good to your brother."

Huo Yuhao looked on with amusement at the frightened look on Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's face in the Sea of ​​Spirit.

"Brother Tianmeng, what are you afraid of?"

"Nobody uses this plan on you."

"The only person who can experience this plan is my dear brother Dai Cinan."

"Others may want to experience it, but they don't have the right to."

“For ordinary enemies, I would simply use Amaterasu to warm them up, repaying evil with kindness.”

Tian thought about it and it seemed to be true. He had no reason to be afraid. Who could humiliate him so deeply? Hyotei?

"hey-hey."

“It’s not that I’m afraid of the plan; it’s just that the plan is too brutal.”

After finishing his conversation with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao looked back once more at the ancient tree that blocked out the sky.

The tree canopies emitted a faint golden light, a light so sacred and majestic that all living beings that looked directly at it felt a sense of reverence from the bottom of their hearts.

However, Huo Yuhao alone sensed a chilling killing intent hidden within the golden light.

According to Electrolux's analysis, that dazzling, sacred light was likely the energy overflowing from the burning of the soul's essence.

It is the essence released after the super strong people of the Sea God Pavilion throughout the ages were turned into firewood and ignited by the Blue Silver Emperor.

At this moment, the Blue Silver Emperor is unconsciously devouring the soul of the previous Sea God Pavilion Master.

This so-called holy land of soul masters is the core of the continent and the natural enemy of evil soul masters.

The ancient golden tree that it has been worshipped throughout the ages perfectly fits all the definitions of an evil spirit master.

If Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago had seen this, he probably would have gone to any lengths to uproot this evil tree.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to leave, a muffled voice reached his ears.

"Young friend, young friend, please wait a moment."

Huo Yuhao was on high alert, his ethereal form activated, ready to enter the Divine Might Space at any moment.

Electrolux and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm began to support Huo Yuhao's spiritual power. He looked back and saw an old face faintly visible on the trunk of the Golden Ancient Tree.

The aged face bore a striking resemblance to the soul that Ah Yin was devouring; it was none other than the previous Sea God Pavilion Master, who was also Mu En's master.

“Young friend, I am the previous master of the Sea God Pavilion. This remnant soul of mine will not last much longer.”

"Your exploration of the Golden Tree's spiritual power has awakened this remnant soul. You should now know the truth about this tree."

"Unfortunately, I only realized the true nature of this tree at the moment I merged my soul with it."

“Young friend, I have never asked anyone for anything in my life.”

"Please tell my good-for-nothing apprentice, Mu En, that he must not be fused into a tree after he dies!"

"The soul cannot be reincarnated! It's merely nourishment for that monster below!"

Huo Yuhao, wearing a spiral mask, stared at the aged face with only one eye. After a long silence, he said to him:

"Feel sorry."

"I won't tell him."

"This is his fate."

The aged face paused for a moment, then forced an awkward smile, a smile that was neither a smile nor a cry.

"That's all."

"Thank you, young friend, for allowing me some moments of lucidity."

"My good-for-nothing apprentice! Let's see if fate will be on his side."

The aged face slowly faded on the tree trunk, and his soul fell silent once more, being swallowed little by little by Ah Yin.

The golden light emanating from the ancient golden tree grew ever brighter.

“Yuhao…” Huo Yuhao’s single eye beneath his mask gleamed faintly.

“Brother Tianmeng, you know that fate will not favor Mu En.”

"Only I care for him."

“I have given him a suitable successor, and I have allowed Shrek Academy, which he considers everything, to continue in the future. This is already the greatest favor I have done for him.”

"Every gift that fate bestows comes with a price tag attached."

"The price is that after Moon dies, he must be devoured by Ah Yin."

"Of course, even without my interference, he would have chosen this path on his own."

“I have been kind enough.”

"When the boulder of fate falls from the mountaintop, no one can stop it in the middle; they will only be crushed by it."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm fell silent. He sensed Huo Yuhao's seriousness and knew that this was a crucial part of the plan.

He was willing to carry out Huo Yuhao's plan 100% without any objection!

"But the old man's last point about reincarnation was quite interesting."

Does the underworld exist?

Huo Yuhao's eyes showed interest; he had initially thought that there was no underworld in this world.

After all, the original work never mentioned any gods related to the underworld.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't answer this question; only the great god of the soul realm—Electra—knew the answer.

"Of course, Xiao Yuhao."

"The underworld exists in every world."

"Without an underworld, how can souls be reincarnated?"

"Without the underworld, where would the souls of the dead go to rest?"

"If a world didn't have an underworld, the present world would have been overflowing with wandering ghosts long ago!"

“Everywhere there are vengeful ghosts that devour people, and evil spirits abound.”

"Since this situation has not occurred in this world, it means that the underworld in this world is functioning normally."

"Moreover, from observing the frequency of ghosts and monsters in this world on the Demon Network, it is not difficult to see that the underworld in this world is developing extremely healthily, and may even have developed its own set of reasonable operating rules."

"However, the underworld of this world should not have a master, no! It definitely has no master!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked Electrolux before Huo Yuhao could.

"Old Master Yi? Why is that?"

"I'm quite good at mental power, but when it comes to the soul, I'm a complete Muggle."

"It is common knowledge on the mainland that the soul exists after death, but no one has ever known where the soul goes."

Electrolux's aged voice laughed loudly in the sea of ​​spirit.

"Big bug, spiritual power and soul are never separate."

"The soul of the dead cannot use soul power, but it can use mental power to a certain extent."

"Just from this, you should be able to guess that there is a very close relationship between the soul and spiritual power."

"Alright, I'll compile a book about the knowledge of the soul later."

"Here's one for you, one for Little Turtle, one for Yuhao, and one for that idiot Snow Woman."

"You should all take a look and learn from this."

"As for why I am so certain that the underworld of this world has no master, it is because if the underworld had a master, that little girl named Xia Die could not have been born!"

"If the Lord of the Underworld already exists, the little girl would have already self-destructed the moment Yuhao injected his martial soul."

"Because death cannot tolerate two masters."

"The girl named Xia Die's death can remain stable within her body not only because of the maintenance of her powerful life bloodline, but also because of the recognition of the underworld."

"Without the underworld acknowledging this pure death, mortals cannot possess this power in the mortal world."

"In a sense, from the moment that girl awakened her martial soul, she was already half a ruler of the underworld."

"Hahaha! I'm very curious about the day when Yuhao's daughter becomes the ruler of the underworld."

"The lord of the underworld who has an extreme love for life, that sounds intriguing!"

Huo Yuhao's brow twitched violently upon hearing Electrolux's explanation.

He finally understood why the Goddess of Life had been slow to send a divine test to Xia Die.

"Well, I see."

"The Goddess of Life, as the God-King, saw through the true nature of the Butterfly."

"She was already recognized by a god, so naturally she wouldn't dare to bestow a second godhood upon Xia Die."

"It turns out I messed things up myself."

Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly.
