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

Chapter 420 The Godhood That Bears the World, Xi Lian: "That Arrogant Darling"

"Spirit Ice Douluo, or rather, the Tower Master."

"Haha, this is really unexpected."

Mu En was slightly dazed. He hadn't expected that the last person he saw before he died was neither one of his beloved disciples nor his old friends from the Sea God Pavilion.

Instead, it was an unknown pink-haired girl and the Spirit Ice Douluo who once grilled fish for him, now the master of the Spirit Pagoda.

Although Moon is a member of the O5 meeting, he almost never sees the tower master.

Lingbing Douluo is like a hands-off manager, not involved in anything, only occasionally mentioning some general directions for development.

As another member at the meeting, Su Tong, said, the tower master of the Spirit Pagoda does all sorts of things, but he doesn't do anything serious.

The general operating method of the Spirit Pagoda is determined by the Pagoda Master, while the detailed filling in is decided by the O5 meeting.

As a continental organization, and even slowly becoming a new generation of hegemonic power, its tower master's power can be said to stand at the pinnacle of the continent, for example, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

That's the position countless people dream of, a position with absolute power.

However, the master of the Spirit Pagoda seemed indifferent; he did not care about this power.

Lingbing Douluo's apparent strength is only that of a Super Douluo, but due to the strong support of the Soul Beast World, no one dares to say anything.

In retrospect, this tower master was the most unassuming figure.

Huo Yuhao looked at this teacher from another timeline, one of the few normal people in Shrek Academy, and nodded to him.

If it weren't for Mu En being the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao's plan wouldn't have been so easy to achieve. Compared to the various anthropomorphic creatures on the continent, he was already normal enough.

If it were Shrek Academy during the Douluo Continent III era, on the day the Soul Guidance Fission Bullet was successfully developed, Huo Yuhao would have thrown ten of them down to ensure that Shrek Academy would not be at risk of being resurrected.

Huo Yuhao believes that Shrek Academy and Shrek City, under the leadership of Moon, can still be saved. In the future, the academy can truly become a place for teaching and nurturing people, rather than a force representing the continent.

"I was eating watermelon and fried chicken with Xia Mi in the Northwest Continent when I sensed your activation of the power of dreams from afar."

"My dear Haki fan, have you finished dealing with the affairs of the Dream Kingdom?"
"I'm going to inspect it later, and if there's anything wrong, I'll definitely kiss your butt with my leather shoes."

"Aren't you tired of posing? Why don't you come over and take a break?"

Huo Yuhao looked helplessly at the pink-haired girl holding books in the wheat field in the distance.

The girl's short pink hair had a few white highlights, and her purple coat swayed slightly with her movements, leaving a dazzling trail in the air along with her white skirt.

Xi Lian immediately jogged over, put her hands behind her back, and showed an expression of knowing she was wrong but refusing to change.

"Hehe~"

"I only came out after I had finished taking care of everything. Besides, you were the one who said I could come out and have fun as I pleased, and that I couldn't go back on my word, or I would cry."

Huo Yuhao tapped Xi Lian's head, and the girl immediately put on a crying face. Of course, the conscientious capitalist wouldn't be swayed by this expression, and he still had to tap her.

If acting cute could help you escape exploitation, then there would be no such thing as so much oppression in the world.

This tactic was quite effective on Huo Yuhao when he was a novice a few years ago, but now his heart is as hard as iron.

"Don't do anything unnecessary next time."

"Watch out, or I'll dock your pay."

Xi Lian's heterochromatic eyes, with blue background and pink pupils, widened instantly, her pleasant voice tinged with shock.

"Really? They actually get paid!"

"They thought they'd been working for free all this time, but the boss is actually so nice!"

"Besides, even so, you still came over, didn't you? Without your tacit approval, they couldn't use the power of dreams."

"Did the boss soften his heart?"

Huo Yuhao was speechless. Looking at the girl clinging to his arm like a koala, he couldn't help but complain:

"Even if Xia Mi works for me, she gets to eat whips, watermelons, and fried chicken."

I'm not some kind of skinflint; I've never actually withheld wages.

"I'm not soft-hearted. I can't be soft-hearted. I just came to see what's going on here."

Huo Yuhao stretched Xi Lian's face with his hands, feeling the delicate touch, which caused the girl to resist weakly, and the words she spoke were indistinct.

"I understand, it's...it's tsundere."

"My brain...it turns out it has this cute side too. I...like it!"

After rubbing for a while, Huo Yuhao released his hand, and Xi Lian stood prettily next to him, covering her face.

Huo Yuhao sighed. He was at his wit's end. Fortunately, he hadn't dragged out that pink piggy back then. Even the gentle version of Xi Lian was this difficult to deal with; in her prime, she could probably tear the house apart.

He looked at Moon again and continued:

"Normally, you wouldn't have seen us if things had gone according to plan. But as you can see, because of the unilateral actions of a certain pink mammal, we are able to have one last conversation."

"Do you have anything else to say now?"

Huo Yuhao placed his hand on Xi Lian's head and gently scratched her like he was scratching a cat. The girl leaned against Huo Yuhao's side and remained silent.

Mu En watched the interaction between the two with amusement. Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, he looked at the endless wheat field and asked:
"Where is this place? Did you plant these wheat fields?"

"If it's inconvenient, we can skip this topic. I always respect the secrets of young people."

Huo Yuhao didn't hide anything and said directly, "This is the Land of Dreams, the place where the subconscious of all life gathers, and the central hub where spiritual power converges and flows."

“That wheat field was made of spiritual energy, created by the girl next to me. She likes this rural atmosphere.”

"Of course, if it were me, the sky here would be purple; purple and yellow would be a perfect match."

"The halo above your head is called the base plate, which, in your familiar terms, is the body of the magic network."

"It doesn't matter if these secrets are told, because even if someone knows the truth, they can't tell it, and you're the same."

"The pink puppy did make one right thing: I condoned her actions." "Because I wanted to express my gratitude to you. You are an important piece on my chessboard. In this game, you brought about the final checkmate."

Xi Lian raised her head slightly, which was resting on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, her mouth puffed out, and her face showed an angry expression.

"How many nicknames does he actually have?"

"So you've finally given in, haven't you? People's intuition is usually very accurate."

Huo Yuhao pinched Xi Lian's chattering mouth and said, "When adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt."

After the sound source of Xi Lian was physically shut down, Mu En also snapped out of his daze. He glanced at the shimmering circle of light in the sky and said softly:

"I see."

"Hahaha, no wonder the various forces on the continent could not find any trace of the Magic Network. So the Magic Network actually has nothing to do with the will of the plane. It was created by you, Lingbing."

The mainland could never have imagined that there was someone quietly driving global development all along.

"No need for thanks, I can't accept them."

"On the contrary, I should thank you for letting me see the future of the world in my twilight years."

"It turns out that our world can really quell hatred and war, and all life can really sit together to communicate and enjoy the unknown and beautiful future."

Mu En bowed to Huo Yuhao with his aged body, his gratitude coming from the bottom of his heart.

Then he cheerfully said to Huo Yuhao:
"Lingbing, to be honest, you are not a qualified chess player."

"What kind of chess player expresses gratitude to the chess pieces? Or rather, a chess player shouldn't even be in front of the chess pieces."

Huo Yuhao shrugged and said, "I think so too, so I'm at most an amateur chess player."

"The reason we've come this far is purely because of the contrast with our opponents; their skills are not as good as mine."

The so-called game is really no different from a battle of wits between novices.

"By the way, I'm actually quite curious. Long Xiaoyao has already arrived outside the Tiandou Plain. Why don't you let him come and support you?"
"You two must possess a Spirit Fusion Skill. A Limit Douluo's Spirit Fusion Skill is enough to threaten a Divine Official."

Moon shook his head, touched the wheat with his finger, and took one last look at the physical texture.

In the dream world, as long as you have spiritual power, it's not much different from being alive. Unlike the underworld, you still retain your sense of touch and taste.

"Forget it, there's no need for that."

"There are already enough Limit Douluos here, and Shrek Academy has already lost too much in this battle."

One of the Limit Douluo-level fighters must remain, otherwise we might not be able to cope with the changes in the world ahead.

"Moreover, apart from Long Xiaoyao, I can't think of anyone else who can temporarily take my place."

"Master of the Tower, you probably don't want Xuanzi to succeed as the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, do you?"

That's true. Neither Mu En nor Huo Yuhao wanted Xuanzi to take over as the head of the Sea God Pavilion; it was too unlucky.

If Xuanzi were to succeed the Sea God Pavilion Master, it would be better to disband Shrek Academy.

So Huo Yuhao nodded and said:
"That's true. Right now, only Long Xiaoyao is suitable to temporarily take over as the head of the Sea God Pavilion."

"Theoretically, you still owe me three Dream Coins equivalent to the power of a Limit Douluo. The details of the loan should have been carefully read by the powerful figures from all sides of the continent."

"You'd probably need to work for me for three hundred years to earn that back."

"I won't accept the public funds from Shrek Academy. According to the rules, this money has been passed on to your son, Bei Bei. He can give the money back to Long Xiaoyao."

"However, as a people's entrepreneur who has detached himself from high-class interests, I will not give up any money that belongs to me."

You should know who killed you, right? The divine power was obvious; anyone who's read a history book knows that.

Moon's expression turned serious, and he nodded, saying:
"I know."

"It's Tang San. I didn't expect him to make a move after all."

What exactly does he want to do?

Huo Yuhao snatched the script from Xi Lian's arms and accidentally touched the slightly undulating softness of the pink puppy, which made the puppy shyly bite his palm a few times.

"Pink bunny, it actually bit you?"

"You're only slightly better than some king of the earth and mountains."

After shaking off the biting pink puppy, he flipped through the script and said:

"According to the original plan, you will be tied up by Tang San and taken to Qiankun Wenqing Valley as a hostage to lure Bai E over. You should know Bai E's personality. Even if there is only a sliver of hope, he will not give up on bringing you to tomorrow."

This is exactly what Tang San hoped for. The Valley of Love and Destiny has a total of ten divine powers: the seven powers of the original Shrek Seven Devils, the Asura God, the Destruction God, and the Love God.

The core of the Valley of Love and Destiny is a divine position, the position of the Rakshasa God. Tang San invested it to ensure the plan's absolute success.

"In the Valley of Love and Destiny, Tang San will torture Bai E madly, using reincarnation to tear apart Bai E's heart, thereby influencing destruction."

It was a cruel plan, but he underestimated the strength of Bai Er's will.

"Now I can slightly change the script for you as payment for helping me solve Ah Yin's problem."

"You will still be taken to the Valley of Love and Destiny, but I will give you a core composed of [understanding] and [fantasy]."

This core will protect your soul and seize control of the Valley of Love and Destiny.

"You will become the true core of Qiankun Wenqing Valley."

"I have only one purpose: to use your hand to forge new life from destruction."

"In the name of bearing the world's burdens, ignite the newborn sun."

Huo Yuhao handed the script back to Xi Lian, who smiled sweetly and said:
"Hmph. You stubborn tsundere, the hardest thing in Douluo Continent is your mouth~"
