In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Am I...dead?"

Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, and after checking his surroundings, he was surprised to find that he had returned to the time when he was eleven years old, just after he formed a contract with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Could it be that... all this inheritance, all this Zhu Ningyun, all this Ningyun Sect, is just a pipe dream of mine, Huo Yuhao?"

Huo Yuhao murmured to himself, gazing into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, his expression extremely solemn.

Just then, Tianmeng Bingcan's cheeky voice rang in Huo Yuhao's mind. "Little Yuhao, that experience wasn't a pipe dream. We did indeed die at Zhu Ningyun's hands, but we were rescued by a certain senior and sent to another parallel universe's Douluo Continent... no, to be precise, it should be the Douluo Continent ten thousand years after Lingbing Douluo's ascension!"

"The Legend of the God of Destruction?"

Huo Yuhao frowned, then flicked his sleeve and stepped out of the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao felt his head was heavy, and he didn't know... where his future lay.

"According to the plot of 'The Legend of the God of Destruction,' Gu Yuena commits suicide in the finale, and Tang Wulin follows suit. One is the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, and the other is the Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda. If one can become their successor, it's only a matter of time before one gathers the faith of the entire Douluo Continent and becomes a god!"

Having set a goal, Huo Yuhao touched the jade figure at his waist... oh no, the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night. Then, guided by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the man and the beast arrived at the Soul Guidance Train Station in a small city.

Huo Yuhao stood on the platform, watching the soul-guided train speeding past him, his heart unmoved. Fast? Ha! Could it be faster than the ultra-long-distance teleportation device of the Bright Moon Plane?

Having lived three lifetimes, Huo Yuhao has seen many things beyond his comprehension. He knows very well that if he wants to live on, he cannot continue developing that shabby soul tool.

Sigh! Let's just take it one step at a time!

Huo Yuhao sighed, and after having his ticket checked and passing through the gate, he boarded the Soul Guide Train bound for Donghai City.

"Have you even prepared the certificates and letters of introduction from the junior college?"

On the Soul Guidance Train, Huo Yuhao looked at the Martial Soul Certificate with his photo on it, his expression extremely strange.

He didn't understand... why some unknown entity would do these things, and what its purpose was in doing them.

Huo Yuhao traveled on the Soul Guidance Train for a full day and night, finally arriving at the Soul Guidance Train Station in Donghai City around noon the next day.

As Huo Yuhao exited the platform and was about to hail a taxi to Donghai Academy, he saw... a silver-haired woman board a bus bearing the Donghai Academy sign.

"That girl's figure... it looks so much like Gu Yuena's."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but mutter to himself.

According to the plot, shouldn't Gu Yue Na have split into two personalities, Gu Yue and Na'er? How come...?

Huo Yuhao slapped his forehead. The plot of his era as the Great God King Huo did not unfold as recorded in "The Legend of the Emotional God King". The plot deviation in this world should not be a big deal, right?

This time... Huo Yuhao won't step on any landmines again.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly boarded the Donghai Academy bus and sat down next to the silver-haired girl. "Miss, are you also going to Donghai Academy?"

"Otherwise what?" the silver-haired girl said expressionlessly, "What else can you do if you don't go to school? Go to the opera?"

After saying that, the silver-haired girl crossed her arms, turned her head to the side, and stopped looking at Huo Yuhao.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao could only swallow back the words he was about to say. He then closed his eyes, ostensibly to rest, but in reality, he was asking Tianmeng Bingcan about the identity of the silver-haired girl beside him.

"Brother Tianmeng, you must have heard of the existence of Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts, right? Look, is the girl sitting next to me the Silver Dragon King you remember?"

Huo Yuhao had a tiny bit of a scheme. Gu Yuena was someone who could easily overturn the table if she wanted to. If he could win her heart, Tang Hao and Ah Yin would all have to step aside.

Of course, before you can win over Gu Yuena, you need to find out her identity. Huo Yuhao has figured things out. Beauty doesn't pay the bills. As long as the benefits are enough, it's not impossible for him to marry Cai Yue'er.

After hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt that his whole body... no, his whole silkworm was not good. What kind of existence was he? And what kind of existence was Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena? At his peak, Tianmeng Baby was only a second or third level god. How could he have the ability to see through the identity of the soul beast lord?

Tianmeng Bingcan said awkwardly, "Little Yuhao, you should know my strength, so don't make things difficult for me. Anyway, there's still plenty of time. Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena will be staying at Donghai Academy for three and a half years. It's not too late to decide whether to pursue her after we confirm each other's identities at Donghai Academy, right?"

Having lived three lives, Huo Yuhao, after being brutally beaten in his second life, was no longer the kind of person who was eager for quick success. Good things come to those who wait, and what is destined to be yours will eventually come; what is not destined to be yours, you cannot force.

He liked Wang Dong'er so much that he didn't hesitate to perform a striptease in front of so many students and mentors, but what did he get in return?

"Hey, classmate, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"

As a clear female voice rang out, Huo Yuhao hurriedly opened his eyes and looked in the direction from which the voice came. He saw a pretty girl blinking her big, bright eyes and watching him with great interest.

"It should be on the mural in the Spirit Pagoda," Huo Yuhao said thoughtfully. "I look somewhat similar to the legendary Spirit Ice Douluo, and I also awakened the Spirit Eye Martial Soul. Since my surname is Huo, my mother named me Huo Yuhao."

"Huh? Auntie's really bold! Aren't you afraid this name will crush you?" The girl rubbed her forehead, then glanced at the silver-haired girl beside Huo Yuhao and asked with a puzzled look, "Huo... Junior, didn't Auntie come with you?"

"She's dead." A look of desolation flashed across Huo Yuhao's face as he forced back the tears welling up in his eyes.

"Yes, I'm sorry, junior. I didn't mean to reopen old wounds."

The girl clasped her hands together and hurriedly apologized, afraid that Huo Yuhao might not be able to handle the blow and do something he shouldn't.

It's said that unruly people come from remote, impoverished areas, but everything has two sides. Compared to the cutthroat competition in big cities, the small circle of Donghai Academy is clearly much more humane. (End of Chapter)
