Douluo Continent: Original Body Huo Yuhao

Inside the prison of the undead demiplane, the assassins who came to kill Huo Yuhao and the others had removed their masks, gagged themselves, and were firmly bound to racks, unable to move, their soul power also sealed.

One or two people were still struggling, while the rest resigned themselves to their fate, heads bowed and motionless.

Huo Yuhao and the others arrived at the prison, ready to interrogate them.

Hearing the commotion, the assassins all looked up, their faces filled with terror as they stared at Huo Yuhao and his group of six. Those who had been struggling earlier struggled even more fiercely, though they were unable to speak.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the assassins, then said to the other five, "I called you all here today to tell you something else."

"You have all heard me recount the glorious side of the empire, but where there is light, there is bound to be darkness."

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, allowing the others time to process what had happened. Electrolux, on the other hand, remained calm; as an elder who had lived for thousands of years, he understood the situation perfectly. The other four were initially taken aback, but quickly accepted the situation.

Seeing that the five people had calmed down, Huo Yuhao continued, "What I'm about to introduce may cause you physical discomfort."

Huo Yuhao explained the concepts of wet components and mechanical servants to the group in detail. Upon hearing that a living person's brain could be transformed into a wet component and the body into a tireless mechanical servant, Electrolux was furious, Gu Yuena looked grim, and the other three, who were relatively simple-minded, started gagging.

But Huo Yuhao finally explained: "But these things all come from clones, and some are criminals, prisoners, or derelicts in their duties."

Huo Yuhao's words also reached the ears of the assassins clearly, intensifying their fear and struggle.

Electrox demanded, "Why! Is the glorious empire you speak of built by trampling on these lives?"

While Electrox may also transform the corpses of his enemies into undead for his own use, he does not harm the innocent. Although the source is not the issue, the Empire's methods are utterly a trampling of human morality!

But Electrolux didn't send Huo Yuhao away. After spending time together, he knew that Huo Yuhao was a kind person, and he was willing to give Huo Yuhao a chance to explain.

The other four also looked at Huo Yuhao with fear on their faces. They never expected that this trustworthy young man had actually been a high-ranking official in that kind of place.

Huo Yuhao was not surprised by their performance; on the contrary, he was very happy because he knew that his companions were all human beings.

"Because of chaos!" After a long silence, Huo Yuhao began to explain.

"chaos?"

"Yes!" Huo Yuhao said with a sorrowful expression, "A long time ago, in the golden age of mankind, there were no wet parts or machine servants."

"Humans developed artificial intelligence to help them perform all sorts of tasks. That was when humanity first conquered the Milky Way."

"Artificial intelligence?" Upon hearing this strange term, Electrolux had a general idea.

Huo Yuhao explained, "It is a kind of artificially created machine or program with extremely high intelligence. You can think of it as a kind of intelligent soul tool that serves humanity."

"But one day, they betrayed humanity. A clash of forbidden weapons turned the entire galaxy into scorched earth! Human worlds were completely isolated, trade was disrupted, and famine ensued."

"From then on, human civilization began to regress, and artificial intelligence was regarded as a product of hatred. But humans need a lot of labor, so a 'safer' alternative emerged."

Electrolux grasped the key point: "That rebellion, was it related to Chaos?"

"Indeed. Humanity's hopes and progress became nourishment for a certain evil god in the chaos, making Him unprecedentedly powerful."

The group was stunned. Positive emotions could actually become nourishment for a powerful evil god!

Huo Yuhao advised, "It's bizarre, isn't it? But if you think about Tang San, you'll understand."

That's right! Based on the current investigation, Tang San, who appears to be glorious and majestic, is actually an evil god! Everyone was relieved.

"Is the decline of humanity's golden age also related to that evil god?"

"Based on all indications, it is quite possible. That evil god possesses the authority of knowledge, and under His influence, correct knowledge can produce erroneous results. He can corrupt thought, and artificial intelligence has very likely been contaminated by Him."

"And on the same level are three evil gods, whose nourishment comes from beautiful qualities such as love, courage, and life. They take pleasure in tormenting living beings, and even in death they cannot find peace."

After hearing this, Electrolux sighed deeply: "That's a world without hope!"

Electrolux could fully imagine that in such a world, life was filled with suffering, and death was no different.

In their understanding, while evil gods exist, righteous gods also exist to counterbalance them. And in that world, the power symbolizing the righteous gods is held by the evil gods!

The others were puzzled: "Why are you telling us this? You could have easily kept it from us."

Seeing that the others no longer minded his words, Huo Yuhao turned to the prisoners and smiled, "Because this world is different from the world I was in before, my gene enhancement methods require test subjects."

"The results of the experiment are unknown, and it is very likely that these people will turn into monsters. This can be considered as giving you a heads-up."

"I am very grateful that you can understand me. This world is free from the intrusion of Chaos, and I can promise you that I will never use the inhumane methods of the Empire's wet components and machine servants in this world."

"Old Yi's necromancy can effectively replace many inhumane methods."

After saying this, Huo Yuhao bowed to Electrolux.

In Huo Yuhao's view, turning enemies into undead is much better than turning them into wet objects; at least they die a thorough death.

Electrolux helped Huo Yuhao up. He knew very well how rare it was for this child to remain kind in such a hopeless world!

Others also stepped forward to comfort Huo Yuhao, and each of them gave him a hug.

The group then turned their attention to the prisoners. Having heard these secrets, the prisoners already knew what fate awaited them.

Finally, the leader, a Soul Saint, spoke numbly: "What do you intend to do to us? Experiments? Or simply turn us into undead?"

The tone of his voice when talking about becoming the leader of the undead was surprisingly expectant.

Huo Yuhao asked, "Before that, tell me, who sent you?"

"Dai Yueheng is the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke's mansion."

"Boss, you!"

Upon hearing their leader directly reveal the mastermind behind it all, the others became excited, knowing that they had all received favors from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!

"What difference does it make? With these people's methods, finding out won't take much effort at all. Rather than struggling painfully, it's better to just confess directly."

Upon hearing this, the others stopped struggling.

Huo Yuhao said to the leader, "Very good, I need you to identify him for me."

"Can I die a quick death?"

"Can."
