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

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips, about to say something in rebuttal, but swallowed the words back.

There are indeed many Soul Masters who are dissatisfied with the Battle Armor Era!

Put yourself in their shoes, and you'd think those amplification-type Soul Masters would absolutely hate mechs and battle armor!

and many more!

Huo Yuhao snapped out of his daze, looked at Wu Changkong in front of him, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Teacher Wu, I don't understand... why did you tell me all these secrets? We're not that close, are we?"

"You are my student, and I have an obligation to inform you about the current situation in the Soul Master world. As for whether you focus on learning a second profession or on enhancing your physique, that is up to you."

As they were talking, Wu Changkong suddenly waved his hand and said somewhat impatiently, "Do you have anything else to do? If not, you can leave. I have some personal matters to attend to."

"it is good."

Huo Yuhao nodded, bowed to Wu Changkong, and then left the room.

"These are turbulent times!"

Huo Yuhao sighed. What Vesbania ore, what Stone Age, were none of his business. All he could do was build a team and lead them step by step to the top of the continent.

Humans should always adapt to the trends of the times and accept new things as they would carefully learn soul guidance techniques, rather than clinging to the incomplete and blindly going against the will of heaven.

"You must learn forging, and you must be familiar with all kinds of second professions. Before the Stone Age, battle armor was the only way to win over genius soul masters."

Huo Yuhao murmured something, then looked up at the sky, a look of sorrow slowly appearing on his face.

He didn't know... how far he could go in this time and space that didn't belong to him, Huo Yuhao.

……

Meanwhile, in a penthouse suite at the Tianhai City Seaview Hotel.

Azi pushed a piece of intelligence in front of Qin Yi. "Brother Yi, according to the intelligence, the news has reached Yuanen Zhentian's ears. He has already left the Yuanen family. In my opinion... he probably went to Shrek City, trying to persuade the higher-ups of the Sea God Pavilion to let Yuanen Yehui go and protect his eldest son's only bloodline."

Qin Yi said expressionlessly, "What does it matter to us whether Yuanen Zhentian goes to Shrek City or not?"

"Qin! Yi!"

Azi gritted her teeth and said, "If Yuanen Zhentian were to personally plead for him, the Sea God Pavilion would at least give him some face. At worst, they could find a scapegoat to take Yuanen Yehui's place in the trial. That way, Yuanen Yehui wouldn't die, and the relationship between the Sea God Pavilion and the Yuanen family wouldn't be strained. In fact, the Sea God Pavilion's act of 'sacrificing family for the greater good' would increase the popularity of them among lower-level Soul Masters. Meanwhile, we've gone around in circles, accomplishing nothing and even emboldening the enemy."

"Azi, you are still too young and have oversimplified the relationship between the Sea God Pavilion and the Yuanen family."

Qin Yi chuckled and said, "Those people from the Sea God Pavilion are just arrogant and conceited. They're not a bunch of fools. In terms of intelligence, they're definitely above average in the Douluo Continent."

"It's impossible that they couldn't tell that the video was fake, that it was all fabricated evidence through some means, just to expose the existence of Yuan En Ye Hui to the world."

"Finding a female Soul Master who resembles Yuanen Yehui in appearance and figure to use as a scapegoat isn't difficult. But can they guarantee that after doing all this, no one will record their plot with Yuanen Zhentian and distribute it to every corner of the Douluo Continent?"

"If things really develop to that point, the reputation of the Sea God Pavilion will be utterly ruined. Long Yeyue isn't stupid; she won't gamble with the Sea God Pavilion's reputation to gain Yuan Enzhentian's favor. A favor? Heh, how much is a favor worth?"

Ah this...

Upon hearing this, Azi scratched her head awkwardly. To be honest, she really hadn't thought of that.

If there is no evidence, then fabricate evidence. As long as the result is true, who cares about the process?

……

Just as Qin Yi had predicted, Yuan Enzhentian didn't even meet Long Yeyue and Yun Ming upon arriving at Poseidon Island; instead, he was received by Ya Li.

"Patriarch Yuanen, Sister Yue... asked me to pass on a message to you. Before I convey it, I hope you can be mentally prepared."

As she spoke, Ya Li suddenly stood up and gave a slight bow towards Yuan Enzhentian's position with an apologetic expression.

Upon seeing this scene, Yuan Enzhentian's heart skipped a beat. Yali's humble attitude was not a good sign.

Yuan Enzhentian said with a wry smile, "Vice Pavilion Master Ya, let's speak frankly. I've lived to be this old and have weathered many storms. If I didn't even have the mental fortitude to withstand such hardships, I wouldn't be worthy of being the head of this family."

Ya Li said with a solemn expression, "Patriarch Yuanen... Sister Yue said that if Yuanen Yehui's faked death to escape is exposed, how will the Sea God Pavilion face itself?"

"Born free, yet forever in chains. Some people... were never meant to be born!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Ugh!

Yuan Enzhen sighed and said, "Vice Pavilion Master Ya, may I... see my granddaughter? I owe her too much, and before I die... I don't want her to have any regrets."

Yali was taken aback for a moment, but finally nodded.

The scene shifts to the dungeon on Poseidon Island.

A red-haired girl was huddled in the corner of a luxurious single cell, her eyes lifeless and her face pale, showing no signs of the vitality a young girl should have.

As the cell door slowly opened, Yuan Enhui subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and a figure she never wanted to see in her life came into view.

"Are you here to kill me?"

Upon seeing Yuan Enzhentian's figure, Yuan Enyehui subconsciously clenched his fists, adopting a posture as if he were about to fight to the death.

Let me tell you a story.

Yuan Enzhen said gently, "Once upon a time... there was a girl who didn't know where she came from or where she was going. She just wandered aimlessly around the Douluo Continent."

"Later, she met her destined one, and with all the members of his family as witnesses, they got married and had a very lovely daughter."

"Later, on the very night that girl broke through to the Title Douluo level, the demon seed attached to her took effect. Under her guidance, the spatial tunnel connecting to the demon plane suddenly opened. The Yuanen family was unprepared, and in just one encounter, dozens of their clansmen died at the hands of the demon."

"The girl in the story is your mother, Yuan En Ye Hui..." (End of Chapter)
