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

Lin Yue's mind was in turmoil, completely unaware that her hands had involuntarily clenched and were trembling.

Whether it's the core principle of the first-generation equal soul contract, which remains a top secret even today, or the flaws in artificial soul technology known only to some top researchers and high-ranking members of the contemporary Spirit Pagoda, neither could possibly have come from the mouth of an ordinary child.

Who exactly is he?

It can't possibly be that the legendary figure with the same name as him from ten thousand years ago actually traveled to this era, right?

Regardless, Lin Yue realized that this was indeed a situation beyond what she, as a high-level spirit medium, could handle.

Therefore, she immediately stood up and said with utmost seriousness:

"Please...please wait here for a moment. I cannot answer your question, but I will immediately inform the Tower Master of the necessity of coming here to meet with you."

She even used honorifics when addressing a child.

Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction, watching Lin Yue sway her hips and jog away from the reception room.

For him, his main purpose in coming to the Spirit Pagoda today was to make contact with the current branch master of the Spirit Pagoda in Donghai City.

Therefore, he had no interest in continuing the conversation with this Manager Lin.

"My lord, although I am here to protect you, the Spirit Pagoda you founded is also filled with powerful figures. I am worried that we have alerted their human leadership..."

After Titan Snow Demon King casually set up a soundproof soul power shield, he expressed his concerns to Huo Yuhao in a deep voice.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, shook his head, and replied:

"Don't worry, Atai. He's just a branch tower master. His cultivation level is definitely not at the level of a Super Douluo."

He stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the reception room, and looked down at the unobstructed view of Donghai City.

"Moreover, although we cannot trust the current higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda too much, with my preparations from ten thousand years ago, after some negotiations, it is highly likely that we can cooperate with them."

"Even if something unexpected happens, Atai, you can just take me and leave this place."

The world is so vast, where can't I go? Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and I've prepared more than just this one backup plan since ten thousand years ago…”

Outside the reception room on the other side, Lin Yue had already contacted Mo Yuan, the branch tower master of Donghai City, who was also a level 95 Super Douluo and a three-word Douluo Master, through the highest-level communication channel inside the Spirit Pagoda.

She relayed information about Huo Yuhao, emphasizing its uniqueness and seriousness.

If, after learning Huo Yuhao's name, talent, and the powerful guards accompanying him, Mo Yuan was merely curious and surprised about him...

So, when he learned that Huo Yuhao had casually mentioned the core secrets of the two spirit transmission techniques, he was extremely shocked and incredulous.

Therefore, without Lin Yue saying anything more, the branch tower master of Donghai City immediately made a decision.

He wanted to meet this child, who shared the same name as the legendary first tower master, in person.

……

"This...this is!"

When the white-haired, green-robed branch master of the Spirit Tower of Donghai City rushed into the reception room, Huo Yuhao, without saying a word, took out a diamond-shaped crystal token that was entirely ice-blue from his storage soul tool and handed it to him.

Thus, Mo Yuan didn't even have time to be shocked by the guard behind Huo Yuhao, who was probably close to the level of a Super Douluo...

His gaze was completely drawn to the token in his hand, whose patterns were extremely ancient and exuded a strong aura of ice.

Spirit Ice Token—that is the name of the token in Mo Yuan's hand.

Compared to other well-known identity tokens within the Spirit Pagoda, the Spirit Ice Token is the "highest proof of identity" known only to the successive tower masters, the two deputy tower masters, the four spirit messengers, and the council of thirty-six elders, including the branch tower masters of the "Eighteen Heavenly Pillars".

However, few people know exactly what identity this Spirit Ice Token is used to prove.

Since the Spirit Tower was built ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Ice Token has never appeared in the world.

However, for thousands of years, all the high-ranking members of the Spirit Pagoda, including Mo Yuan, have been very familiar with the appearance of the Spirit Ice Token and have no doubt about its value as the "highest proof of identity".

This is because all senior members of the Spirit Pagoda must undergo a spiritual ritual called "Passing on the Torch" in the Hall of Eternal Oaths underground at the Mingdu Spirit Pagoda headquarters before officially assuming their posts.

Recalling the unforgettable spiritual ritual he experienced at headquarters decades ago, Mo Yuan stared intently at the Spirit Ice Token he held tightly in his hand, his breath almost stopping.

It was a ritual performed using advanced soul-guided illusion technology and a soul contract magic from Electrolux, and it retained Huo Yuhao's spiritual power that was close to that of a god ten thousand years ago.

All future "baptists" will personally experience key historical chapters in the ten-thousand-year history of the Spirit Pagoda and receive the core principles and teachings of the first tower master when he founded the Spirit Pagoda.

During the ceremony, a gentle yet powerful spiritual field, inherited from the first tower master, will guide the baptized person to reflect on their original intentions and strengthen their identification with the spirit tower's philosophy.

The specific appearance of the Spirit Ice Token and its significance as the "highest proof of identity" were firmly remembered in the hearts of all those baptized as part of the ideological teachings of the ceremony.

The reason why Mo Yuan could never forget this spiritual ritual that left no substantial effect was because during the ritual, he felt the "majesty" and "wisdom" of the first tower master, who was both a Limit Douluo and a level 10 Soul Master.

Although he did not see the legend's face during the ceremony.

But ever since then, this legend from ten thousand years ago has become the person he admires most.

"Who exactly are you...?"

The turbulent waves surging in his heart had not yet subsided. Mo Yuan slowly lowered his hand, which was tightly gripping the Spirit Ice Token, and turned his incredulous and questioning gaze to the six-year-old child in front of him who shared the same name as the first tower master.

Huo Yuhao raised his head and smiled slightly.

Now it was time for him to explain himself according to his pre-planned rhetoric, in order to initially gain a foothold in this world ten thousand years in the future:

"Ten thousand years ago, the first Tower Master had a limited lifespan and ultimately failed to reach the final step, thus failing to become a deity who lived as long as the heavens and protected the future of our world in the divine realm."

"Therefore, before the first Tower Master passed away, he was concerned about the development of the Spirit Pagoda and even the entire world, so he passed down our lineage of 'Spirit Ice Envoys' to shoulder the mission of being the continent's 'last insurance'."

"Our mission is not to interfere with daily operations, but to stand guard in the shadows of history."

When the Spirit Pagoda deviates from its original purpose and becomes a tool of private power or tyranny; when the Sun and Moon Federation falls into division or corruption, and may even repeat the continental war of ten thousand years ago; when the world faces a major crisis that could overturn civilization and ecological balance, and conventional means are insufficient to cope—

That is the time for us, the "Spirit Ice Envoys," to appear, using the wisdom, power, and authority left behind by the first Tower Master to guide, correct, and even, if necessary, forcibly "set things right" in the shadows of the world.
