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

Huo Yuhao's voice was calm and clear, each word seemingly carrying the weight of something etched ten thousand years ago.

Meeting Mo Yuan's surprised and uncertain gaze, he continued:

"This mission has been passed down through generations and is kept extremely secret. In order to always remember the source of the will they have inherited, and in order to generate the greatest deterrence and appeal by borrowing the name of the first tower master at the most critical moment, Lord Lingbing Douluo established a rule: the sole core agent of each generation of 'Lingbing Secret Envoy' must act under his name—'Huo Yuhao' when carrying out missions outside."

"I am the 'Huo Yuhao' of this generation."

The sheer volume of information seemed to explode in his mind, leaving Mo Yuan momentarily stunned.

His gaze gradually lost focus, and his hand, which wasn't holding the Spirit Ice Token, unconsciously began to rub his temples.

"Lingbing...Secret Envoy..." he murmured, feeling somewhat dazed.

After a moment of distraction, Mo Yuan slowly processed the information that any one of which could be said would shock the world.

Then, the first emotion that welled up in his heart was disappointment:

"Did the first Tower Master... truly not become a god, but have already passed away?"

Since the situation on the mainland stabilized ten thousand years ago, Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo, has disappeared without a trace and has never appeared in the public eye again.

For thousands of years, many people have speculated that this legendary Limit Douluo, with his immense supernatural powers, most likely ascended to the God Realm, just like Tang San's ancestor 20,000 years ago.

Therefore, the ending of the first tower master that Huo Yuhao just mentioned is something that Mo Yuan, who has admired him for most of his life, finds somewhat unacceptable.

Seeing the deep disappointment on Mo Yuan's face, Huo Yuhao felt a mix of emotions.

"……Yes."

After a brief silence, Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly and gave an affirmative answer.

After hearing this confirmed answer, Mo Yuan fell silent.

He gripped the Spirit Ice Token tightly, walked slowly to the sofa in the reception room, and sat down looking rather forlorn.

However, to Huo Yuhao's surprise, after calming down from his shock and disappointment, Mo Yuan did not question his statement in the slightest. Instead, he raised his head and said very solemnly:

"Young friend Huo, I believe your identity and everything you have said... Because I have experienced the 'Passing on the Flame' ceremony, I know that the Spirit Ice Token in my hand is absolutely genuine. Moreover, seeing your talent, I also believe that you are capable of undertaking such a mission."

Mo Yuan believed Huo Yuhao's explanation, not only because of the Spirit Ice Token.

More importantly, as a titled Douluo, Mo Yuan quickly sensed the cold and violent beastly aura emanating from this guard!

As a high-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda, Mo Yuan had seen the human forms of the ferocious beasts that still existed in the world, but the burly man behind Huo Yuhao was someone he had never met before.

After much deliberation, Mo Yuan guessed that this ferocious beast might be the almost never-seen ruler of the far north, the Titan Snow Demon King.

Perhaps only the "Spirit Ice Envoy" lineage, which Huo Yuhao mentioned was personally passed down by the first Tower Master, can receive the protection of the current ruler of the far north.

Thinking of this, Mo Yuan felt a chill run down his spine—just how much of the foundation still does this secret, personally handed down by the first tower master, which has been hidden for ten thousand years, possess?

"Since you've appeared before me under the name of the First Tower Master and told me so many things, I suppose you need me to do something for you. As long as it's not something particularly difficult, I'm willing to do it."

"And, the Spirit Pagoda and the Federation are indeed..." Mo Yuan paused, sighed deeply, and said, "...different from before."

Having read the original work, Huo Yuhao naturally understood what the branch tower master was implying in his words.

"Passing on the Torch" is merely a spiritual ritual used to remind future generations of the core tenets of the Spirit Tower and to emphasize the importance of the "Spirit Ice Token" to facilitate Huo Yuhao's actions in the future. It does not have any substantial effect of imprinting a mental seal or other forms of mental control. Huo Yuhao does not want his organization to become a religious organization where high-ranking members must be brainwashed by him.

Therefore, while the Spirit Pagoda may not be as bad as it was in the original work, it is not perfect either.

After a moment of contemplation, Huo Yuhao began to answer Mo Yuan's question:

"As a contemporary secret envoy, my power is still limited, so I don't need the branch tower master to do too much for me. All I need is for the branch tower master to keep my identity strictly confidential for the time being, provide a suitable cover for my identity within the Spirit Pagoda, and a certain amount of resource assistance."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan was taken aback at first, but his previously solemn expression quickly relaxed, and he smiled slightly at Huo Yuhao:

"I understand. I didn't expect Young Friend Huo's request to be so simple... To be honest, even if you don't have any background, your extraordinary talent for cultivation alone is more than enough to establish yourself in the Spirit Pagoda."

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention—my name is Mo Yuan, and young friend Huo, please don't call me 'Your Excellency' anymore. After all, you are bearing the title of the First Tower Master, and I, a mere branch tower master, am truly unworthy of such a title..."

Although Mo Yuan was a righteous person who hated evil and hoped to make the Spirit Pagoda develop in a better direction, he only believed seven-tenths of Huo Yuhao's words and still harbored three-tenths of suspicion.

After all, the secrets of the "Spirit Ice Envoy" lineage were simply too unbelievable. Apart from the Spirit Ice Token in Huo Yuhao's possession, Mo Yuan could not find any other way to prove what he had said.

Therefore, seeing that Huo Yuhao did not make any difficult requests, Mo Yuan felt quite relieved.

Huo Yuhao took the Spirit Ice Token that Mo Yuan handed back and put it back into his storage soul tool.

"Mr. Mo, you flatter me. It is true that my name is the same as my ancestor's, but I am just a child who has inherited my ancestor's will."

After speaking, Huo Yuhao looked at Mo Yuan with a questioning gaze.

Mo Yuan naturally understood Huo Yuhao's unspoken question. After stroking his chin and pondering for a moment, he suggested to him:

"Young friend Huo, how about temporarily becoming my disciple in name only, given the cover of your identity?"

Mo Yuan is not talented; he is merely a level 95 Title Douluo, and his title as a branch tower master of the Spirit Pagoda in East Sea City is not particularly prestigious.

My young friend has a bright future ahead of him. Although I am not qualified to take you as my last disciple, I believe that in the eyes of outsiders, such an identity will be very convenient for your development in Donghai City.

Moreover, I can certainly offer some guidance in cultivation, or impart some internal knowledge of the Spirit Transmission Tower. I wonder... if you would be willing, young friend?"
