Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

"These ordinary humans do seem to be living quite happily."

As Gu Yuena answered using her mental power, a slight thought flickered in her mind.

She realized that Huo Yuhao, this reincarnated god, seemed quite different from the aloof and distant deities in the Douluo God Realm.

What exactly is the difference...?

Upon hearing Gu Yuena's reply, Huo Yuhao turned his face.

Their eyes met, and seeing the curiosity and contemplation in her eyes, he smiled genuinely.

"That's good."

Gu Yuena's expression faltered slightly.

After Huo Yuhao looked out the window again, she slowly came to understand, following her previous train of thought—

What exactly is the difference?

She recalled the many changes this reincarnated deity had brought to this world ten thousand years ago:

The civilian application of soul guidance technology, the soul spirit subsidy policy prepared by the Spirit Pagoda for commoner soul masters, and the initial foundation laid for the current sound system of the Sun Moon Federation...

It turned out to be the case.

Gu Yuena suddenly realized that the biggest difference between Huo Yuhao and other gods was that—

He never focused solely on cultivating himself to become stronger; instead, he genuinely used his gradually restored cultivation and abilities to truly benefit all living beings in this world.

This universal love for all people extends beyond the human race.

He also extended his blessings to soul beasts through equal soul contracts, benefiting the entire soul beast race.

There are also the rules and policies he established ten thousand years ago in the Spirit Pagoda and the Sun Moon Empire to maintain friendly relations between humans and soul beasts.

It is precisely because these rules and policies have truly been implemented that, ten thousand years later, humanity as a whole still regards intelligent spirit beasts as friendly partners living together on this continent, and rarely does anything to harm the fundamental interests of the spirit beast race.

It should be noted that, including the Star Dou Great Forest, the area of ​​the various soul beast settlements on the continent today has hardly shrunk compared to ten thousand years ago.

In addition, in order to ease tensions between the two races in some areas, the federal government has taken the initiative to allocate land and build many "natural ecological reserves" specifically for some weaker soul beast groups to inhabit and reproduce.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuena suddenly felt a surge of shame.

Not long ago, witnessing the immense power that humanity had wielded, a power far greater than before, she felt a sense of unease and even had this thought flash through her mind:

Once I regain my peak divine power, should I drive humanity to other continents, imprison them, or even completely eradicate them to prevent future troubles?

"Fortunately, I quickly dismissed that thought... after all, it was just a potential worry. Right now, my people are indeed living in relative peace."

Gu Yuena secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she was not such an extreme and cold-blooded soul beast ruler, and the unease she felt sitting next to Huo Yuhao subsided considerably.

Soon, the car arrived at the main gate of the Spirit Pagoda in Donghai City.

"You can go now, Miss Gu. I'm going home tonight and won't be staying at the Spirit Pagoda."

Going home... Does he live with anyone else at his home? Or is it just a place where he lives alone?

However, although she felt a little curious, Gu Yuena did not show this somewhat offensive feeling on the surface.

She nodded slightly, then turned around, opened the car door, and prepared to step out of the car.

At the same time, Gu Yuena suddenly seemed to remember something, and after standing outside the car, she turned back and smiled:

"I'm really looking forward to studying at Tunghai Academy together."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was immediately taken aback.

So... did he and this Silver Dragon Queen get this close just from having a meal together?

Although somewhat confused, after a brief moment of stunned silence, Huo Yuhao quickly replied:

"...Me too. Goodbye then, Miss Ko."

"Um."

Gu Yuena gently closed the car door, then turned around and walked briskly into the Spirit Pagoda.

The vehicle started again.

Huo Yuhao turned his head to watch her receding figure, and began to review his performance tonight.

Meanwhile, in the sea of ​​spirits, several beings who had been "watching" for a long time could no longer suppress the urge to speak.

Even before meeting Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao had already informed them of the existence of the Silver Dragon King and expressed his intention to speak with her.

When the spirits learned that Huo Yuhao was about to face this powerful figure, they were naturally worried, but before they could dissuade him, he was already sitting in the private room of the restaurant.

However, Elder Yi appeared quite composed after learning that the Silver Dragon King had been reborn as a human and that his strength was limited.

Instead of panicking, he gently encouraged Huo Yuhao:

"Yuhao, there's no need to worry too much. My divine sense has mostly recovered. Although I wasn't a god in my previous life, I still possess some inherent strength."

His voice was steady, with a reassuring strength:

"Just talk to her freely. If anything goes wrong, I will support you."

Thus, after seeing Gu Yuena in the restaurant's private room, they held their breath and watched quietly, afraid of disturbing Huo Yuhao.

It wasn't until Gu Yuena left that she suddenly started talking non-stop—

"I'm not kidding, Yuhao, but I seriously suspect you're a human succubus!"

Within the Sea of ​​Spirit, the first to speak was Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, his face filled with disbelief, "That's the Silver Dragon King! The supreme ruler who split from the Dragon God and governs our Soul Beast race!"

As Tianmeng Ice Silkworm recalled the tragic days when she was imprisoned by Di Tian in the Lake of Life, her tone grew increasingly shocked:

"Back when I was imprisoned in the Lake of Life by that guy Di Tian, ​​who was already on the verge of death, I vaguely sensed a terrifying aura hidden deep within it..."

"I never expected someone like her to be so easily fooled by you. And judging from her behavior just now, she seems to have quite a bit of affection for you!"

Upon hearing this, Ice Emperor immediately snapped his finger and tapped Tianmeng Ice Silkworm on the head, coldly rebuking:

"You seem to like him quite a bit? You stinky bug, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all! Xue'er, should I teach this guy a lesson for you!"

On the other side, Xue Di simply smiled faintly, gently shaking her head with a tender expression, her voice as clear and soothing as melting ice:

"It's alright, Bing'er, Tianmeng was just joking."

Moreover, matters of fate should be left to nature... If someone like her is truly willing to get closer, I will be happy for Yuhao.

These words were spoken subtly, yet carried a sense of calm acceptance—as if to say that she wouldn't mind if the Silver Dragon King became a member of Huo Yuhao's family in the future.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's spiritual avatar immediately showed a deep sense of embarrassment.

He coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject:

"The fact that our conversation went so smoothly today is largely thanks to Elder Yi."

There's no way around it, Elder Yi's restored consciousness is just too over-the-top!

In the original story, Huo Yuhao was also cruelly taken by fate. Before he could truly grow up, he lost such a respectable and reliable teacher.
