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

Previously, in that beef stew shop, after listening to Guang Biao's explanation of why he, a fourth-ring Soul Master, chose to become a policeman, Huo Yuhao was genuinely moved by his words.

He witnessed firsthand how his changes to the world ten thousand years ago not only affected the fate of these ordinary people in later generations, but also enabled these people who grew up and gained power through the gifts of the times to actively give back to society, the country, and even the world.

Therefore, when Huo Yuhao realized this, he felt that his life couldn't be too peaceful and idyllic.

That's why Huo Yuhao felt that his life shouldn't be too comfortable now.

This era may still need him—it might sound arrogant to say that, but at least he can still do something for it, even if his cultivation has not yet recovered.

Moreover, doing this so-called "meaningful thing" may not necessarily be without benefit to his spiritual progress in this life.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao answered clearly:

"Do you still remember the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Hongchen and his sister, along with Ye Guyi, were all taken aback.

"That scum organization that gathers evil soul masters?" Ye Guyi's tone suddenly turned cold, and deep disgust appeared in her eyes. "Hmph, of course I remember."

Among them, Ye Guyi, who possessed a sacred martial soul, killed the most evil soul masters.

She already loathed evil spirit masters, and moreover, her cultivation would increase by one point for each one she eliminated.

Back then, when she participated in the operation to wipe out the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, she used her Soul Douluo level cultivation to kill two Holy Spirit Cult elders who were Title Douluo level in succession.

"Yuhao, why are you suddenly bringing this up? Could it be...?" Meng Hongchen pondered, "Has the Holy Spirit Cult resurfaced ten thousand years later?"

"That's right."

Huo Yuhao took out a soul-guided data storage device that recorded the secrets of the Spirit Transmission Tower, connected it to his soul-guided phone, and entered the unlock key.

He then retrieved the information about the Holy Spirit Cult and projected it into the air for his three family members to view.

"Ten thousand years ago, after the Holy Spirit Cult was completely wiped out by us, the organization did indeed remain dormant for a long time due to the continuous and rigorous searches, crackdowns and prevention efforts of the Sun and Moon Federation over many years."

The information projected on the screen surprised the three men—they even saw that there was a secret armed enforcement organization within the Federation composed of evil spirit masters.

Most of these evil spirit masters were identified as having the potential to grow into evil spirit masters when they awakened their martial spirits in childhood, and were thus incorporated into the Federation's unified management and education system.

Those whose martial spirit is extremely dangerous and difficult to control will be strictly restricted from cultivation, and they and their families will receive high economic compensation from the Federation.

Those whose nature is relatively controllable are allowed to continue their training and, upon reaching adulthood, join the Federation's secret organization, the "Dark Side," to carry out gray missions for the country that are inconvenient for overt agencies to handle.

Under this system of both rewards and punishments, it can only be said that many evil spirit masters who accepted federal administration and did not succumb to evil forces expressed—

The Federation's kindness is never enough!

It's no exaggeration to say that the federal government is like a second parent to these people.

For those who possess evil martial souls that are deemed "uncontrollable" upon awakening, the Federation will permanently prohibit them from cultivating and having children, and will strictly monitor their daily lives.

In compensation, the individual may receive regular financial assistance from the federal government.

Each subsidy is extremely generous, enough to ensure that the awakened evil spirit and their family can live a life of plenty without worrying about food and clothing.

After all, these unfortunate children were deprived of their basic rights of cultivation and reproduction after awakening their martial spirits, and would be monitored for life. No federal official would think they were being paid too much...

Unless one chooses to execute them outright without any regard for human feelings—otherwise, any mistreatment might force them to secretly cultivate themselves and take revenge on society, causing extremely serious harm.

If the nature of the evil martial soul is somewhat controllable, and one is fortunate enough to be allowed to continue cultivating it, then one can obtain soul spirits and other cultivation resources for free with the direct support of the state;

Upon reaching adulthood, they can become members of the "Dark Side," a group with generous benefits and a status no less than that of regular federal soldiers.

The price to pay is simply to be under close surveillance and to be ordered to carry out some dangerous missions.

"However, some martial souls with evil attributes are born that way, while others gradually reveal their evil nature as their cultivation level increases..."

No matter how strict the prevention and control measures are, it is difficult to completely eliminate the emergence of evil spirit masters who endanger society, or to prevent evil spirit masters already under federal control from escaping.

At this point, Huo Yuhao helplessly shrugged.

"This is inevitable. Our country's control system can be said to be almost perfect."

We can't just physically eliminate a child as soon as we discover they have the potential to become an evil spirit master during the awakening of their martial spirit, can we?

Therefore, the Holy Spirit Church resurfaced and reappeared in the world as early as a thousand years ago, and it remains difficult to eradicate to this day.

At this moment, after seeing numerous records of evil spirit masters wreaking havoc on the world in the complex Holy Spirit Cult materials, Ye Guyi clenched his fists, his eyes filled with resentment.

"However... this is indeed a bit strange, Yuhao."

Having regained his strength, Xiao Hongchen sat up straight, his gaze intently scanning the data projected on the screen, his tone tinged with confusion:

"You're right. Judging from this information, our Sun Moon Empire... Sun Moon Federation has a fairly complete control system for evil soul masters."

Given the immense power our nation now possesses, what exactly allows these evil spirit masters to regroup and gain influence on this continent, making them so difficult to eradicate completely for so long?

"That's the problem, Brother Xiao."

Huo Yuhao sighed.

When he first arrived in this era, he thought that in the face of a Federation and Spirit Tower that were far more enlightened than in the original work, as well as a more powerful national force, the Holy Spirit Cult, even if it existed, would hardly amount to much.

However, after reviewing a lot of secret documents, Huo Yuhao realized that the truth was not so simple.

"I've been investigating this matter for some time now. There are many, and very complicated, reasons behind it."

Huo Yuhao picked up his soul-guided phone and pulled up a report he had compiled—

Those were the reasons he summarized, based on various materials and information from the original works, for the Holy Spirit Cult to be able to revive and grow in scale.

"First and foremost, the most crucial point is that the current Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult is a demonic soul beast with a million-year cultivation, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."

As Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Hongchen and his sister, along with Ye Guyi, were initially startled, but then suddenly realized:

With such a figure in charge, it's no wonder that the Holy Spirit Cult has been able to survive the Federation's continuous attacks for so long.

"There are even million-year-old soul beasts that I've never heard of before..." Meng Hongchen's mouth gaped slightly in surprise. "However, with such a powerful and long-lived Supreme Master, it makes sense."

She couldn't help but recall Ye Xishui, the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult and the Death God Douluo, from ten thousand years ago.

Compared to the current Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, who is a million-year-old evil soul beast, Ye Xishui from ten thousand years ago was definitely much weaker.
