Douluo's Contract God King Huo Yuhao
Chapter 40: The Promise
Despite Death's constant seduction, Dai Yueheng's expression grew increasingly calm.
"What you said was very tempting, and it painted a picture of a promising future for me."
"However, I'm afraid I still can't become a beast like you, throwing away the honor I've accumulated over the past decade."
Upon hearing this, the Death God clone was slightly taken aback and looked at Dai Yueheng with some unease.
"You must believe me. As long as we join forces, and with your identity, once we seize control of the army, we will be able to accomplish the great task of unifying the entire continent."
"At that time, we can easily avenge ourselves against Huo Yuhao, and it's not impossible for us to even reclaim the throne of the Star Luo Emperor."
Dai Yueheng shook her head and responded calmly.
"I previously thought that Huo Yuhao would become a top powerhouse on the continent in the future. I thought that as long as I could get through this round of targeting and continue to improve, I would have the opportunity to prove myself sooner or later."
"At that time, as the Duke of White Tiger, I may not be much worse than him, but as it stands now, it seems that this is a goal that I may never be able to reach in my lifetime."
"Watching him fight you, I realized that I would never have the chance to compete with him again in this life. Your arrival has truly given me hope."
"But let me tell you, you are far too arrogant and you underestimate me."
"Before I met Huo Yuhao, I was a genius who became a top disciple of Shrek Academy's inner court step by step on my own."
"I hate Huo Yuhao. I hate that he killed my brother and that he made me live like a stray dog."
"But let me tell you, I am different from Dai Huabin. I became the Duke of White Tiger to become a hero who protects the empire, to guard the border and protect the people of Xingluo."
"I'm after fame, a fame that will last forever. Cooperate with you? To become the second Rakshasa God?"
"However, you have done me a favor today. If I kill you, I will at least be considered a hero of the Weixing Luo Empire."
The Death God clone had already sensed something was wrong and frantically used its divine sense to invade Dai Yueheng's spiritual sea, risking the extinguishing of its divine sense in preparation for forcibly seizing his body.
However, they discovered that Dai Yueheng was completely disregarding the safety of her spiritual sea and was controlling her soul power to rampage through her body.
After being imbued with the White Tiger Martial Soul, he stabbed his own heart with a claw.
Seeing Dai Yueheng's life force rapidly fading away, and knowing that he was doomed, the Death God's clone could no longer control its emotions and roared madly.
"Dai Yueheng, I've already read through your memories. You're nothing but a selfish and self-serving scoundrel, pretending to be virtuous while actually thinking you're a hero?"
"You think you can gain a good reputation by sacrificing yourself? Don't dream. Your family will only say that you are getting your comeuppance because of the Duchess."
Before Dai Yueheng could refute, a voice suddenly interrupted Death's hysterical words.
"He will die as a hero; this is my guarantee as the next head of the Sea God Pavilion."
"Dai Yueheng, son of the White Tiger Duke, sacrificed himself in the Mingdou Mountains to sever a wisp of the divine consciousness of the God of Death worshipped by the evil soul masters."
Huo Yuhao, who had just arrived at the camp, interrupted Death's words with his divine sense and temporarily sealed him, using the power of the Life Gold to stabilize Dai Yueheng's injuries.
Dai Yueheng turned her head and glanced at Huo Yuhao, her lips pale from blood loss.
Despite the healing power of the Life Gold, it was like pouring water into a broken bowl – a drop in the ocean.
Dai Yueheng's face had a rosy glow from the last moments of his life. He no longer concealed his volatile temper and angrily spoke to Huo Yuhao.
"Huo Yuhao, let me tell you, I hate you. You are the second person I hate after Dai Hao."
"Anyway, I'm going to die today, so I don't need to please you, my enemy, anymore, and I don't need to maintain any of those damned aristocratic etiquette."
"There are some things I've kept in my heart for over a decade, and I never imagined I'd be telling them to you on my deathbed."
Dai Yueheng watched as Huo Yuhao used his divine power to form a protective barrier that blocked their voices, completely revealing his true self.
"There's one thing I think you're absolutely right about: Dai Hao is a complete bastard. He has no idea what fairness is."
"Just because of a crappy martial soul fusion skill, he favored Dai Huabin, that narrow-minded, irritable, and easily angered good-for-nothing, for five years, letting that bastard jump around in front of me for a full five years."
"They always boast about how upright they are, saying that anyone who can't resist beauty is a piece of trash. They're shameless."
"If he were a decent person who could control himself, would I have so many brothers? Would I have ended up in this mess today?"
"Dai Hao lied to me. He lied to me since I was a child, saying that I would become the Duke of White Tiger. He lied to me that I would become a general. He lied to me that I would protect the people of the Star Luo Empire."
"Now, even someone as selfish as me is so easily deceived by him that I can't even bring myself to abandon my humanity and become a vengeful evil spirit master."
"You've gotten away with this. You've finally gotten your revenge. Apart from that bastard, none of the people who caused your mother's death have gotten a good end."
Huo Yuhao looked at Dai Yueheng, whose demeanor was completely different from before, sighed slightly, and quietly became a loyal listener.
Two clear tears streamed down Dai Yueheng's face, and she sobbed involuntarily:
"That bastard Dai Hao has been lying to me for over a decade, and I've believed him for over a decade. I haven't let my guard down for a single moment during these past ten years."
"Huo Yuhao, tell me, what exactly did I do wrong?"
"As the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, I awakened my martial soul at the age of six and entered Shrek Academy at the age of twelve, without a single day of rest."
"Every day he does nothing but cultivate and train, and at only 19 years old he has already become a level 64 Soul Emperor."
"Why should Dai Huabin, whose talent is not as outstanding as mine, be able to threaten my position as heir? Why should my family abandon me because of your feud with him?"
Huo Yuhao did not answer Dai Yueheng's question. Everyone has their own suffering. He could not forgive the Duchess's family, but he could understand Dai Yueheng's pain.
If he were in Huo Yuhao's shoes, he would also be unable to calm himself down.
"Is there anything else you wish for? Aside from the Duchess, I will do my best to help you achieve anything else."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's response, Dai Yueheng burst into laughter.
"Huo Yuhao, I, Dai Yueheng, apologize to you and Huo Yun'er on behalf of my mother. After my death, I only hope that you can protect the Star Luo Empire."
"If the Sun and Moon Empire ever raises an army, help me defend the Mingdou Mountains and protect the people of Xingluo."
"If any books are preserved in the future, it will be a testament to my name. It was I, Dai Yueheng, who resolved the estrangement between Huo Yuhao and the Star Luo Empire."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao removed his shielded divine sense at Dai Yueheng's pleading look, and Dai Yueheng's voice carried far away.
Everyone around noticed Dai Yueheng gradually losing his life force and stared blankly at his laughing expression before he died.
