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

The three continued to look at the report that Huo Yuhao had compiled.

According to the records, this million-year-old deep-sea demon whale queen, known as the "Demon Emperor," harbored a deep hatred for humanity because her husband was killed by the sea god Tang San 20,000 years ago.

After the God Realm disappeared, she, who had been hiding herself, became unrestrained and further enhanced her strength by constantly devouring sea spirit beasts and spirit masters.

Over the course of thousands of years, she collaborated with the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult who took the initiative to approach her, and eventually took control of the entire organization as the Supreme Leader, becoming the Holy Spirit Cult's greatest asset in its survival to this day.

Of course, this crucial intelligence was originally known only to Huo Yuhao himself.

Currently, the Federation only speculates that there may be a Sea Spirit Beast Cult leader within the Holy Spirit Cult who possesses strength surpassing the level of a quasi-god, an extremely long lifespan, and has become the ruler of the ocean.

After all, over the past thousand years, many Holy Spirit Cult elders at the Title Douluo level have been killed by the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda.

Without such a figure in charge, the Holy Spirit Cult would probably have long since ceased to exist.

Afterwards, Huo Yuhao explained to the three of them other reasons why the Holy Spirit Cult was able to survive.

The most noteworthy aspects are "corruption among some personnel within the Federation and other organizations in Douluo Continent" and "the behind-the-scenes instigation by the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires".

"Let's set aside our internal problems for now, after all, there's a precedent of collusion between the Sun and Moon Royal Family and the Holy Spirit Cult dating back ten thousand years..."

Xiao Hongchen stared at the data projected on the screen, his brows gradually furrowing. "But what's going on with Xingluo and Tiandou? After our country drove them to the overseas continents back then, haven't they settled down yet?"

Huo Yuhao zoomed in on the projected information, his expression turning cold, and explained:

"You know, if the old-fashioned power group like the Imperial Family hadn't become corrupt, the Sun Moon Imperial Family wouldn't have colluded with evil soul masters back then, and our country wouldn't have been reorganized into a federation now."

"Furthermore, the only entity that truly possesses a complete system for controlling and combating evil spirit masters is the Sun Moon Federation on the Douluo Continent. And the Holy Spirit Cult's current headquarters is very likely located on the Star Luo or Heaven Dou Continent, continuously absorbing evil spirit masters from there."

"After the God Realm disappeared, the Demon Emperor became the ruler of the ocean. Although the Federation's naval power is equally strong, it is still difficult to stop those evil soul masters from crossing the sea in an endless stream and infiltrating the Douluo Continent."

Because of the threat posed by the Demon Emperor, the ruler of the sea, even though the military force has already overwhelmed the two great empires of Star Luo and Heaven Dou, the Sun Moon Federation has been unable to send its navy and air force to complete the unification.

Of course, if a war of unification were to break out, the Federation would be fully capable of winning.

However, doing so would come at a huge cost: not only would it be a waste of resources and manpower, but it would also result in the loss of many high-end combatants due to the existence of the Holy Spirit Cult; moreover, the war itself would only fuel the expansion of the evil soul masters' power.

After careful consideration, the Federal Parliament concluded that there was no need for this at present.

However, in recent years, the Holy Spirit Cult has become increasingly rampant in the Douluo Continent.

In the Federal Parliament, the hawkish voices advocating launching a transoceanic war to unify the Star Luo and Tian Dou kingdoms in one fell swoop and eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult also rose in prominence.

After learning in detail about the causes of these infuriating Holy Spirit Cult members, Huo Yuhao then gave his three family members a brief overview of the Holy Spirit Cult's current known high-end combat capabilities.

Some time ago, Huo Yuhao also focused on investigating the whereabouts of the "One Emperor, Two Kings and Four Heavenly Kings" of the Holy Spirit Cult in the present era.

As expected, under the powerful and strict control system of the Sun and Moon Federation over evil soul masters, three top-tier combatants of the Holy Spirit Cult who appeared in the original work were "recruited":

The original "Dark Phoenix" Dark Phoenix Douluo Leng Yulai, the "Dark Bell" Sheling Douluo Nanali, and the original "Dark Blood Demon" Pure Soul Douluo.

In Huo Yuhao's timeline, the children of the Leng family, who are closely related to the Spirit Pagoda, all attend the Central Academy of the Sun Moon Federation, while Yun Ming continues to grow up at Shrek Academy.

Therefore, the incredibly melodramatic and ridiculous love story in the original work never happened.

Furthermore, possessing the Dark Phoenix Martial Soul with the potential to become an "evil soul master," Leng Yulai has been regularly monitored by the Spirit Pagoda, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of her falling into evil soul mastery.

As for the original Dark Bell and Dark Blood Demon, they were placed under supervision after awakening their evil martial souls in their childhood, and cultivated and grew under strict guidance.

It is worth mentioning that the Soul Cleanser Douluo's martial soul, which relies on devouring souls to gain power, was initially judged to be an extremely dangerous evil martial soul that was "completely uncontrollable" and was directly prohibited from being cultivated.

But by chance, researchers at the Spirit Pagoda discovered that this child could not only devour the souls of the recently deceased, but also gain power by absorbing the soul energy from artificial spirits.

Thanks to the extremely strong foundation laid by Electrox, who did not disappear ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Tower's technology in the soul realm far surpasses that of the original work.

In this situation, the Spirit Pagoda reported the matter in detail to the Federation, suggesting that a powerful evil spirit master be cultivated to serve the country in this special and convenient way.

After a comprehensive assessment by the Federation, the former Dark Blood Demon was granted permission to cultivate by devouring artificial souls in a pure energy state devoid of intelligence.

Thus, this child with an extremely special martial soul reached level ten at an equally incredible speed, and even condensed his first soul ring on his own, directly shocking the Spirit Pagoda and researchers in all related fields within the Federation.

As a result, he received even more resources and support, and continued to cultivate and grow at an even more incredible speed.

To this day, this Soul Cleanser has easily become a Limit Douluo through this unreasonable method, while spending all his training time in the laboratory.

After reading this case, not only Huo Yuhao fell silent, but even Electrolux in his spiritual sea was speechless for a moment.

He never imagined that the soul techniques he had taught Huo Yuhao, and which Huo Yuhao had then passed on to the Spirit Pagoda, could be used and developed in such a way...

However, this method of guiding evil forces back to the right path brought great comfort to this necromancer who had committed sins and hated evil.

Of course, successfully "recruiting" three former high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult does not mean that the opponent's high-end combat power has been weakened.

Today, the Holy Spirit Cult not only still possesses two quasi-god-level powerhouses, the Ghost Emperor and the Underworld Emperor, but also continuously absorbs and cultivates evil soul masters from the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Continents as reserve forces.

With the covert support of some members of the royal families of both countries, their overall strength is actually greater than in the original work—this is all thanks to the intelligence relayed back by federal spies who have infiltrated the Star Luo and Heaven Dou continents at great personal risk.

What made things even more difficult for Huo Yuhao was that, perhaps because of his absence as the "God of Emotions" in the original work, the God Realm experienced an even more devastating divine war before being swept away, and was ravaged by civil war and the Golden Dragon King.

Therefore, the number of divine relics scattered across the mainland today, apart from Devil's Island, is far greater than in the original work.

Some of these divine legacies scattered across various regions have yet to be discovered, while others have been intercepted by the Sun and Moon Federation, as well as the three major nations of Star Luo and Heaven Dou, and are only specifically recorded in the Federation's top-secret archives.

But many likely fell into the deep sea and into the hands of the Demon Emperor, becoming a powerful reliance for the Holy Spirit Cult.
