Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 146 The Silver Dragon King's Intention

After several checks, Huo Yuhao was disappointed, but he did not find any other abnormalities on himself.

So he stopped expending his mental and life energy to maintain the Eye of Truth and left the undead demiplane.

The three empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent have been quite lively recently, after all, the attack on Shrek City has once again caused a great stir.

The damage caused by this second attack on Shrek City was even greater than that of the first attack, and only a few years had passed since the last attack.

Various forces are mediating between the parties involved, some trying to maintain the balance, some offering assistance, some taking advantage of the situation, and some secretly plotting.

Various forces are testing Shrek Academy, but none of this will affect Huo Yuhao for the time being.

He still needs to seize the time to consolidate his own strength, after all, the plan in the far north is also being carried out simultaneously, and he needs to seize the time to improve his own strength so that he can play the greatest role.

However, before that, Di Ruier found Huo Yuhao first, and her complexion had improved a lot.

After all, she had previously used the power of the Eye of Destiny to help Huo Yuhao.

However, compared to the damage caused by protecting the ferocious beast through the heavenly tribulation, it only requires a week of rest.

"Yuhao, I'm leaving. I feel that the luck of the Star Dou Great Forest seems to be having some problems." Di Ruier's golden eyes dimmed slightly as she said reluctantly.

After all, she has now found her responsibilities and goals as an imperial auspicious beast, and with Huo Yuhao's help, she is putting them into practice.

Under these circumstances, leaving the human world and returning to the Star Dou Great Forest would undoubtedly disrupt many of the plans she and Huo Yuhao had previously made.

"There's a problem with the power of destiny? What aspect is it?" Huo Yuhao frowned, sensing that things were not so simple.

After all, the Star Dou Great Forest was the largest gathering place of soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, and even in the era of the Dragon King Legend ten thousand years later, it was the last remnant of soul beasts.

That is why the fortune formed by such a massive foundation is absolutely difficult to shake in a short period of time. He was unsure what exactly the problem Di Ruier was referring to was.

After all, even though he had undergone attribute induction, Huo Yuhao now inherited half of the Star Dou Great Forest's fortune power.

However, compared to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which was born from the power of soul beast destiny, he was certainly not as perceptive to the changes in the power of destiny in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Moreover, he himself had recently been entangled by a mysterious red thread phantom, which made him wonder if Tang San was behind it.

Although this matter was indeed unrelated to Tang San, he lost contact with Douluo Star in the core of the God Realm.

At the same time, the divine power that existed within Wang Dong'er's body has also dissipated, and Tang San is now temporarily unable to interfere with the Douluo Continent.

As for the changes in the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest, that was due to other reasons.

Di Rui'er shook her head and said somewhat helplessly, "I just sensed an abnormal fluctuation in the power of destiny, but I can't figure out the specific problem right now."

"Only after returning to the Star Dou Great Forest and using the power of the Eye of Destiny can we truly see the reason why this situation has occurred."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded and then quietly pondered whether he should follow Di Ruier to the Star Dou Great Forest to meet Di Tian.

According to his plan, Di Tian and the Star Dou Great Forest side definitely need to make contact.

If we want to unite the power of Douluo Continent in order to counter Tang San, the power of the soul beasts is absolutely indispensable.

It's not that the power represented by the soul beasts is so strong, but rather that their existence is also a derivative of the life core of Douluo Star.

Huo Yuhao envisioned gaining the support of most living beings on Douluo Star, whether human or soul beast.

In this way, he could control the faith of Douluo Star just like the first Sea God, but Huo Yuhao wanted to do something even bigger.

Only in this way can he transform from a complete nobody into someone with a certain degree of influence.

Moreover, only with the support of most of the beings on Douluo Star can Huo Yuhao make the most of Douluo Star's resources to strengthen himself.

Although the God Realm still exists, there is still a limit to the number of powerful individuals that Douluo Star can support.

However, if a large amount of resources were concentrated on Huo Yuhao, and the power of magic were added to expand his possibilities, then it would be a completely different level.

However, Huo Yuhao's current strength is still too weak. If he were to meet Di Tian with his current strength, he would probably have no ability to protect himself, which is why he hesitated.

Although Huo Yuhao was confident that, in the worst-case scenario, Di Tian would certainly not kill him directly.

However, Di Tian would put him under house arrest. Although Huo Yuhao had the undead demiplane at his disposal, Di Tian was not to be trifled with.

Whether or not he can escape, if a fight breaks out, Huo Yuhao will definitely lose most of the resources he has accumulated, which would be a huge loss.

After all, when the two sides are not on the same level, Huo Yuhao, as the weaker party, naturally could not expect the best outcome.

Perhaps Di Tian will agree to cooperate with Huo Yuhao because of Huo Yuhao's status as the chosen one of destiny, Di Ruier's influence, and the common enemy of the God Realm.

However, such cooperation could never be equal. After thinking it over, Huo Yuhao nodded: "Then I'll take you back, but I can't venture into the Star Dou Great Forest for the time being."

Having spent these days with Huo Yuhao and possessing a large number of fragments of his memories, Di Ruier naturally wanted to know why Huo Yuhao was hesitant.

She simply shook her head firmly and said, "No need. With my abilities, I won't be in any danger if I return directly to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"However, if I go back this time, I'm afraid Di Tian won't let me out easily again."

Di Ruier walked straight forward and, to Huo Yuhao's somewhat astonishment, embraced him and gently kissed him on the lips.

"I believe in you. I will continue to try to implement our plan in the Star Dou Great Forest. I'll wait for you to come and get me after you become a Title Douluo!"

After saying this, Di Ruier waved goodbye to Huo Yuhao without the slightest hesitation and strode away.

Compared to the original work, when attribute transfer occurred, it was due to the fusion of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er's martial souls.

Wang Qiu'er, who was somewhat sentimental because she had fused with fragments of Tang Wutong's soul from Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

At its core, Di Ruier is the transformed form of the Emperor Beast, but her style of doing things is closer to that of a Soul Beast: she is bold in love and hate, simple and straightforward.

For her, she didn't think the separation from Huo Yuhao would last long. After all, for soul beasts, even ten or a hundred years is just a day or two.

Despite being affected by shapeshifting, D'Aryl has a clearer understanding of time and is more organized in how she uses it.

However, she was still a soul beast, and what soul beasts excelled at most was waiting.

She believed that Huo Yuhao would not let her down, not only because of the soul contract and their mutual understanding, but also because of the trust that came from spending time together.

Watching Di Ruier's departing figure, Huo Yuhao stood there blankly for a long time before letting out a bitter smile and closing his eyes to enter a meditative state.

He was neither an upright good person nor a purely bad person. His initial motivation for seeking power was simply to defend the meaning of his own existence.

He transmigrated to a world that was both familiar and strange. Only great power could fill the emptiness in his heart and give him a vague sense of security.

The satisfaction derived from power only amplifies the emptiness within.

Fortunately, he met Elder Yi; fortunately, he met Poison Undying; fortunately, he met Di Ruier.

As an elder, Mr. Yi was kind and gentle, always watching over his growth, correcting his mistakes, and pointing out the way forward.

Poison Immortal, though not a master, was more like a close friend despite their age difference. His loyalty and righteousness helped Huo Yuhao gradually integrate into this world.

Di Ruier gave Huo Yuhao a sense of belonging to this world for the first time, and he no longer regarded it as just a part of his experience.

After all, in the eyes of the transmigrators at the beginning, the so-called Douluo Continent was just a low-level planet or plane.

Whether it's the distant, endless galaxy or the realm of gods where they live in their own little world, that's where he might ultimately end up.

As a time traveler, Huo Yuhao was naturally arrogant, and he remained arrogant from beginning to end.

But now, perhaps it's time to put aside this arrogance and take things one step at a time, with our feet firmly on the ground.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao, who was in seclusion and cultivating diligently, was unaware that the butterfly effect was gradually unfolding.

The so-called plot unfolding on Douluo Continent has already had a tremendous impact.

The core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest.

Di Ruier returned here, back to the land where she had lived since childhood.

Along the way, she didn't encounter any fools who dared to cause her trouble.

The moment she stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian brought her into the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Compared to its long period of dormancy, Di Tian's activity level has increased significantly in recent years.

Looking at Di Tian, ​​who had transformed into human form and was rarely seen smiling.

Di Ruier could tell that, besides the reason for her return, there might be other things that Di Tian was happy about at this moment.

This incident may be one of the reasons for the fluctuations in the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"You've returned just in time, auspicious beast. Come with me to see the lord."

Hearing Di Tian's words, Di Ruier was a little confused, but she still followed in his footsteps and stepped into the deepest part of the Lake of Life.

Instead of a lake of life that embodies vitality, this place is a huge, empty void, devoid of any sign of life.

This place is also a forbidden area for all ferocious beasts. No one except Di Tian can enter, not even the Emerald Swan Bi Ji, who is closest to Di Tian.

A silvery radiance appeared before Dirui'er, and within the radiance, seven colors of light flowed.

Earth, water, fire, wind, light, and darkness—the seven elemental energies intertwine to form this portal to the unknown.

Without hesitation, Di Ruier stepped inside, and the silver light disappeared, leaving only Di Tian waiting quietly in the place.

After stepping through the portal, Direll arrived in an alternate dimension created through power and exquisite elemental control.

A huge silver dragon appeared before Di Ruier. Although it was huge, it did not look bulky. Instead, it was slender.

The silvery-white dragon scales refracted a variety of colors, making them exceptionally beautiful.

However, a somewhat ferocious blood-red scar on its slender dragon body marred its beauty.

"Dirui greets Lord Silver Dragon King."

Although Di Rui'er was facing the Silver Dragon King, who was known as the common master of the soul beasts and one of the twins of the Dragon God.

However, aside from the respect due to her, Di Rui'er still maintained her demeanor as a soul beast emperor.

Upon seeing this, the Silver Dragon King did not reprimand him, but nodded with a look of satisfaction, followed by a voice as beautiful as heavenly music.

"You are outstanding, even compared to your predecessors in ancient times, those emperor-level auspicious beasts at the height of their power in the world of soul beasts."

"But do you know why Di Tian was able to live to this day, while your predecessors, the imperial auspicious beasts who possessed the same long lifespan and great power, had to be inherited by you?"

Upon hearing this, Di Ruier was taken aback. Although as an imperial auspicious beast, the power of destiny and some other memories would be passed down along with the bloodline.

But she had never actually thought about the question the Silver Dragon King had raised.

Yes, he is clearly the emperor who possesses the most elite bloodline among soul beasts, a super soul beast, whose soul rings and soul bones cannot be fused with by humans, and who is surrounded by ferocious beasts and soul beasts.

Why didn't those previous imperial auspicious beasts continue their rule over soul beasts to this day?

Was it because of the hunting by Soul Masters? That shouldn't be the case, even though humans gradually took over the rule of Soul Beasts.

Every thousand years, some extremely powerful Limit Douluos appear among Soul Masters.

However, these Limit Douluos would not go against the entire group of soul beasts to attack the Emperor Beast.

As auspicious beasts favored by fate, how did they disappear before?

"It's because of the gods."

"Gods?" Upon hearing this word, Di Rui'er's heart skipped a beat.

The Silver Dragon King continued, "Indeed, the existence of gods is like a mountain weighing down on the soul beast race."

"As the emperor of the soul beasts, the existence of the Emperor Auspicious Beast is naturally a thorn in their side."

"After breaking through 100,000 years of cultivation, the Emperor Beast's 'limit' will arrive."

"But now I can sense that the God Realm's control over Douluo Star is gradually weakening, and this may be our opportunity, a once-in-a-millennium opportunity."

Although he is often in a state of severe injury and rarely awakens, he is essentially a Silver Dragon King who has fallen from the level of a god-king, so he is naturally extremely sensitive to the aura of gods.

A few days ago, when she awoke, she sensed a familiar divine power that had dissipated across most of the Douluo Continent.

Although extremely faint, it confirmed something for her, something very important.

That was the divine power originating from the Asura God. Normally, even if it dissipates, it would be collected by the central authority of the God Realm and used as mental energy to supply the God Realm's consumption.

However, instead of returning to the God Realm as planned, it scattered across the Douluo Continent and merged into Douluo Star, becoming part of this world.

This also means that there's a problem with the connection between the God Realm's central hub and Douluo Star! And the problem might even be with the God of Asura, who is responsible for overseeing Douluo Star!
