Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 114 Goodbye

Upon entering Tiandou City, Huo Yuhao sensed that the power of his destiny seemed to be subtly abnormal.

It wasn't that the power of destiny itself had increased or decreased; it was just that a slight fluctuation had occurred. Although it was somewhat suspicious, Huo Yuhao quickly smoothed out the fluctuations with his Eye of Truth.

Now, with the increase in soul power, Huo Yuhao's intuition tells him that once he reaches level 70, possesses a true martial soul body, and condenses his first soul core, he should be able to routinely control the abilities brought by the Eye of Truth.

At this point, he can use this as a foundation to enhance his ability to deconstruct the power of destiny and manipulate the power of fortune.

As for what situations could cause changes in one's luck at this time?

Huo Yuhao himself had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. Apart from the Body Sect, it was either the Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, or people like the Emperor Beast and Wang Dong'er.

However, excluding Tang San, the main purpose of leaving him behind was to target the Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, and Wang Dong'er, who were using their own identities and the power of destiny to trigger the rhythm of destiny.

And the only ones whose fortunes rise or fall are not caused by the existence of the other are probably the Imperial Beasts that have formed a soul contract, since after forming a contract, their fortunes are shared to some extent.

When one side rises, both sides rise; when one side falls, both sides fall. The influence brought about by this unseen force will appear subtly and gradually.

"Was it when I forcibly used the power of destiny in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to forge the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul that she noticed?" Huo Yuhao thought to himself.

However, this was actually within his expectations, given the urgency of the situation. Although he had already dealt with the aftermath as quickly as possible using the Eye of Truth after successfully condensing his second martial soul.

However, it cannot be guaranteed that there will be absolutely no remnants. After all, unlike the Emperor Beast, which can instinctively control the power of destiny, Huo Yuhao currently needs to rely on the Eye of Truth to manipulate the power of fortune.

Before fully mastering the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao's analysis of the power of destiny remained superficial and was not entirely successful.

For Huo Yuhao now, if he only manipulates a wisp of Qi Luck, he can naturally ensure that he will not leave any trace.

However, the one-tenth of the Star Dou Great Forest's fortune power used previously amounted to as many as seven strands.

The power of destiny can be divided into ten strands, ten threads, or ten lines, but Huo Yuhao can currently only master one complete strand of destiny power.

Even for organizations like the Body Sect, Shrek Academy, Star Dou Great Forest, and the Four Great Empires, the total amount of luck they can possess is only a few dozen strands.

These forces of fortune are actually composed of individual contributions from every single person, from top to bottom, within these nations and powers, and are even included in the calculations of the power of destiny.

Many ordinary people cannot even contribute a single strand; they must be bound to and dependent on other forces, and only what the entire force or family contributes can be considered a single strand.

Only those powerful Title Douluos can possess a single thread or a few strands of luck power on their own, and that is enough to make their lives glorious.

So at this moment, Huo Yuhao was thinking about how he should deal with the Emperor Beast if he encountered her in Tiandou City.

Unlike in the original story, in this instance of attribute transfer, Huo Yuhao not only still holds a dominant position, but his control over the power of destiny in the Star Dou Great Forest is also much stronger.

However, precisely because of this, coupled with the soul contract previously established to avoid having too deep an interaction with the Emperor Beast.

Although Huo Yuhao's actual relationship and connection with the Emperor Beast are closer than in the original story, this does not mean that the Emperor Beast will be attracted to Huo Yuhao or even fall in love with him as it was in the original story.

Huo Yuhao was quite self-aware. In fact, apart from the influence exerted by Tang San in the original work, the Emperor Beast was more influenced by its own simplicity.

Only after being forced to accept a large amount of memories from Huo Yuhao, as arranged by fate, did she come to regard him as the most important person in her life.

Later, due to her various experiences in the human world, she eventually fell in love with Huo Yuhao and even sacrificed herself for him.

Because of their limited experience and the environment in which they grow up, soul beasts are indeed simpler and more direct than humans, who have more complex minds.

However, most of what Huo Yuhao is exchanging with her now is not her own memory, and she has no core memories about Huo Yuhao's own origins at all.

Most of them are fragmented general information, although they contain a lot of Huo Yuhao's personal thoughts and opinions.

However, the impact of these memories on the personality of the Emperor Beast will never be as straightforward as in the original work.

However, just as Huo Yuhao was still thinking, he was kicked out by Du Busi. At this moment, Huo Yuhao was wandering aimlessly on the streets of Tiandou City.

In fact, he originally did not want to leave the Body Sect's stronghold, especially after he observed that his luck power was abnormal.

However, unable to resist the persistent demand that the poison wouldn't kill him, he eventually had no choice but to leave his safe haven and wander aimlessly through the Heavenly Dou City, where he had no idea what he could do.

According to Du Bu Si, he should not return before dinner. If trouble arises, he should unleash his full power, regardless of the extent of the damage caused, and he will arrive within three breaths.

At the same time, Electrolux also made a similar request to Huo Yuhao, that is, unless there are special circumstances, Huo Yuhao is forbidden from using the Eye of Truth to pass the time today.

Electrolux knew that when he had nothing to do, Huo Yuhao liked to activate his Eye of Truth to observe the world and others from his unique perspective, thereby gaining inspiration.

However, this would undoubtedly fail to achieve the goal of shaping Huo Yuhao's personality as expected by both Poison Undying and Electrolux.

Therefore, at Electrolux's request, Huo Yuhao was temporarily unable to use the Eye of Truth, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Over the years, since arriving in this world, the Eye of Truth has undoubtedly been the greatest help Huo Yuhao has received.

This also makes it almost impossible for Huo Yuhao to part with the Eye of Truth, since the Eye of Truth is originally part of his own body.

Or rather, the inability to access the true vision under normal circumstances is the suppression of his instincts, while Huo Yuhao, after being able to freely control his martial soul, hardly suppresses himself at all.

After all, the Eye of Truth is really useful. Simply activating the Real Vision doesn't consume much energy, and continuously entering the Real Vision for a long time can deepen Huo Yuhao's understanding of the Eye of Truth.

However, Huo Yuhao also understood that both Poison Undying and Electrolux must have seen some major problem with him, which was why they made such demands on him.

As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. Anyway, it's only a day, so let's just treat it as a relaxing break. As for the imperial beast, well, we're here, so let's just accept it.

With a silent sigh, Huo Yuhao gathered his thoughts and began to stroll through Tian Dou City.

After all, Tian Dou City is the imperial city of the Tian Hun Empire. Although it is certainly not as prosperous as Mingdu of the Sun Moon Empire, which has the most advanced soul guidance technology, it is also not as prosperous as some of the metropolises that Huo Yuhao saw in his previous life.

However, the atmosphere of the city was quite strong, and because of the existence of martial souls, there were many things that Huo Yuhao had never seen or imagined.

After wandering around for a while, Huo Yuhao gradually became immersed in the experience and gained some new inspiration as a result.

Seeing this, Electrolux could only sigh inwardly, "It seems we still have to take it one step at a time. Yuhao is still struggling to shake off his previous state, but he has made progress, which is gratifying."

While wandering around, Huo Yuhao saw a gatehouse in the city that had been sealed off, with many soldiers guarding it. Although the aura was faint, Huo Yuhao could still sense a hint of evil from it.

After asking around among the residents, Huo Yuhao soon confirmed his suspicions.

"As expected, without any deliberate intervention, the plot unfolded as expected. However, it seems the degree of plot deviation hasn't been too significant yet."

Huo Yuhao thought to himself, but he originally wanted to conduct another on-site investigation to check whether any other changes had occurred.

But then, an aged voice echoed from within the sea of ​​consciousness: "Yuhao, why did you stop? Didn't you just say you were going to check out the commercial street of the Heavenly Dou Empire?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded, but ultimately did not linger there. After all, the matter between the Iron Blood Sect and Tang Ya was only a minor subplot in the overall plot.

Electrolux could also sense the malevolent aura emanating from the ruins of the Ironblood Sect, but he didn't think it was anything to worry about.

After all, such a weak aura meant he wasn't a threat in his eyes, and it seemed quite a long time had passed. However, if Huo Yuhao became interested in it, it would contradict his original intention of coming out to relax.

On the most bustling commercial street in Tiandou City, Huo Yuhao strolled around casually. This place was close to the Imperial Academy and the inner city of the Imperial Palace, and was also one of the most important places in Tiandou City.

As a result, the merchants here are diverse and each has their own unique methods. Many famous chambers of commerce are also based here, and there are even large auction houses, although there haven't been any large-scale auctions recently.

These shops set up outside mainly sell exquisitely crafted trinkets or items used by Soul Masters for cultivation.

After all, soul tools are not popular in the Heavenly Soul Empire, and there is no trace of soul tools here. However, after visiting the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and with the support of the Body Sect behind him, Huo Yuhao is not very interested in these ordinary supplies used for cultivation.

In short, all he needs to do is say one word, and the Body Sect will spare no effort to search for anything that can be found on the mainland.

For this reason, Huo Yuhao mostly looked around and hardly made any purchases. However, when he passed a street corner, a figure caught his attention.

Her long, golden hair was casually draped down to her waist, and her tall figure seemed capable of captivating countless men even from behind. However, at this moment, a warning bell was ringing in Huo Yuhao's heart.

Because he felt his soul was slightly touched in a physical sense, it was the soul contract he had previously made with the Emperor Beast!

Originally, in order to conceal himself, this soul contract, although it allowed Huo Yuhao to achieve a certain degree of mental connection with the Emperor Beast, was sealed by Huo Yuhao through magic.

Only the flow of energy between the two is preserved, but in order to ensure the fusion of their energy, no matter how much it is blocked, within a certain distance, the connection between the two cannot be obstructed.

As Huo Yuhao was touched in his soul, the girl's back also paused slightly, then she turned around, her golden eyes filled with surprise and joy.

Her gaze immediately locked onto Huo Yuhao, and as their eyes met, the gears of fate began to turn once more.

With bright, clear eyes and slightly parted white teeth, her seemingly graceful figure revealed unimaginable agility, making those around her feel as if a golden figure had flashed by.

Huo Yuhao looked at the girl who had come to his side and the power contained within her body, and felt a headache coming on. This situation was no longer an ordinary one, so he naturally didn't need to worry about using his martial soul.

However, he could also clearly sense that the girl did not exude any emotions such as murderous intent, and after coming to his side, she did not immediately launch an attack, as if she was just worried that he would escape.

"Let's find another place to talk." A voice, as melodious as a silver bell and as cold as a clear spring, rang out. It was similar to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion from before, yet there was something inexplicably different about it.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement, his mind racing. Fortunately, he had already considered this situation and was figuring out what to do next.

"Never mind," Huo Yuhao shook his head inwardly, then followed the girl's footsteps and walked towards a teahouse on the side of the street.

"Let's hear what she wants to say first."

Huo Yuhao recalled the purpose of his trip. Perhaps he should indeed think about it personally in order to confront the original characters he knew.

Instead of relying on preconceived notions from the original work and making predictions based on one's own pre-calculations, one should engage in communication with them.

Poisonous Death can see his own problems, and Electrolux can also realize his own contradictions, but he himself cannot recognize them, perhaps because his actions are viewed from too detached a perspective.
