Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 244 What is Reality?

There is such a planet in the vast universe.

It was azure and pure, and looked quite ordinary.

All sorts of creatures live on this planet.

They lived and thrived on this planet.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao had already landed on this seemingly ordinary planet.

However, at this moment, the power within his body had already been suppressed and contracted to an unknown extent.

Although compared to the beings on this planet, he still possesses godlike power.

At this moment, he felt a weakness he hadn't experienced in countless years.

The look in his eyes grew increasingly deep.

Therefore, he still possessed extraordinary power at this time.

However, this power is constantly diminishing.

Immersed in this universe, on this planet.

From the very beginning, Huo Yuhao was forced to bear this suppression.

He could naturally just leave, as long as he escaped this time and space.

Then his power will be restored to its peak.

But things didn't go as planned; if he wanted to transcend, he would inevitably be unable to avoid it.

This was actually Huo Yuhao's final measure.

However, the power that Huo Yuhao actually displayed was completely opposite to his true power.

The path he chose was a solitary journey of self-transcendence.

It embodies the essence of all time and space, and gathers all its own possibilities into one.

Converging at a single point, it ultimately transcends the space-time existing within the Douluo Universe.

However, the real Huo Yuhao integrated his power and potential into the entire spacetime.

To act as the will of the entire spacetime, leading the entire spacetime forward.

Just like the eternal and creative god who transformed into the universe.

However, Huo Yuhao's actions were even more extreme than those of the Eternal God and the God of Creation.

He also suppressed all individual existences throughout the entire universe.

This leaves these individuals with no possibility of upward mobility.

The purpose of everything is to transcend the entirety of spacetime.

The effort and energy required to achieve this are beyond what anyone, including himself, could ever match.

If successful, all beings in this space-time will naturally transcend.

Compared to beings from other times and spaces, they are born with a higher status.

If they fail, then all beings in this spacetime will be forever lost.

This even includes the real Huo Yuhao who orchestrated all of this.

It's a big gamble.

This was also a high-stakes gamble that was undertaken by taking advantage of Huo Yuhao's initial existence.

From the moment he embarked on this path, the universe in which the real Huo Yuhao existed became like a bottomless pit.

It requires an immeasurable amount of power to fill it.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt extremely uncomfortable watching all of this.

Because he understood that he was forced to fill this huge hole for the real Huo Yuhao.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to integrate this last version of himself into one.

Then he will never be able to truly achieve transcendence at this half-step level of transcendence.

Huo Yuhao's expression was initially cold, and the power he could display at this moment was not much compared to his peak.

However, it could still easily destroy the planet and all life on it.

However, Huo Yuhao did not do so initially.

Even if this planet is the center of the entire real spacetime.

Even if the beings on this planet are the core members of the Douluo civilization established by the real Huo Yuhao.

However, Huo Yuhao did not initially make such a meaningless move.

Although he was able to wantonly slaughter the living beings on this planet in order to vent his anger.

However, this is not the case for the real Huo Yuhao and other members of the Douluo Civilization who have completely integrated their true spiritual essence into the entire spacetime.

There is no point in killing their physical bodies that exist on planets in the universe.

They will continue to reincarnate in this space-time.

Only when they have transcended the entire space-time continuum will their true spirits complete their transformation.

Or perhaps the entire spacetime was completely worn away and sank into oblivion, vanishing into the void.

This is a silent war between the original Huo Yuhao and the entire real spacetime.

The real Huo Yuhao was thus born with an invincible position.

Although he cannot show himself now, he is forcing Huo Yuhao to act according to his will.

Even so, Huo Yuhao would never admit defeat so easily.

He won't follow the path set by the real Huo Yuhao.

Because he was the original Huo Yuhao, and also the one who faced the most difficulties in achieving enlightenment.

He also has his own principles.

Transcendence was the goal he set for himself, because only by transcending it could he escape this world and truly take control of himself.

To achieve this goal, he can generate countless possibilities of his own.

Even among these possibilities, there is the possibility of something surpassing oneself, or even turning against oneself.

For example, Tianxin Huo Yuhao, or the real Huo Yuhao.

To be honest, among this countless possibility, the two of them are just one part of it.

More crises, more special beings—what Huo Yuhao hadn't experienced in the beginning?

But he won them all, he beat them all, that's why he's still around today.

Huo Yuhao slowly said, "Since you want to play, then let's play to the end."

Huo Yuhao initially used the little power he had left.

He began to disintegrate his body, and even his soul.

He chose to completely integrate his power, body, and spirit into this universe and spacetime.

Since this power will ultimately belong to the sole victor.

Since you really want this power so much, Huo Yuhao, then just take it.

But who will ultimately be the victor who dominates this spacetime?

Then let's see what our next match is like!

As Huo Yuhao's initial power dissipated.

The entire space-time also began to undergo earth-shattering changes.

Exterior and interior, positive and negative.

The entire spacetime was divided into two layers under the influence of the initial Huo Yuhao and the real Huo Yuhao.

The first layer is the real spacetime.

In this space-time, all life exists in the mundane realm.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death—the cycle of life continues endlessly.

This is the surface, the place where Huo Yuhao originally existed.

It was a cage set up for him by the real Huo Yuhao after he merged into this space-time.

The second layer is the initial spacetime.

In this space-time, extraordinary power and personal strength can be freely proclaimed.

Everyone will stop at nothing to become stronger.

This is the problem that the original Huo Yuhao set for the real Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, both parties need to experience and immerse themselves in the world of the other.

Will you ultimately succumb to the world and rules of others, or carve out your own path within them?

Ultimately, the possibilities of the two timelines will be completely merged, leading to a true final battle.

This was their final battle.

The cycle of reincarnation continues, but the will endures.

The World of the Surface - The Initial Huo Yuhao.

In the real world, he was just an ordinary mortal.

But he has his beloved family and friends, and he is able to live a peaceful and joyful life in every lifetime.

"Yuhao, I love you. Even if my father objects, I am willing to continue being with you."

Looking at the smiling young girl in front of him.

Hearing these words echoing in his ears for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

Huo Yuhao smiled.

He laughed very naturally, but also very unrestrainedly.

This puzzled the girl named Wang Dong'er in front of her.

She couldn't understand why her lover had become so strange.

"Yuhao, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

Huo Yuhao was just an ordinary college student.

But she is the little princess of Haotian Group.

Even so, the two fell in love at first sight.

They got together despite their families' objections and obstruction.

This poignant love story has now come to an end.

It's just one final step away from achieving its goal.

But looking at Huo Yuhao, who was laughing hysterically at this moment.

Wang Dong'er felt a little unfamiliar with him for some reason.

"Is that all?" Huo Yuhao said coldly. "So-called love and affection."

"You think you can fool me?"

"Or do you think you can fool yourself?"

"That's all there is to it. Even if we do it a thousand times or ten thousand times, so what?"

"Yuhao, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Looking at the strange remarks made by his lover.

Wang Dong'er felt another wave of anxiety and helplessness.

This is already the umpteenth time this has happened.

Because Huo Yuhao's true spirit and destiny have long been imprinted in this space-time.

Therefore, although the scenarios are different, similar people and things will be linked together under similar fates.

And this is the origin of the evolution of the world scene.

Even if peace is restored, there are no extraordinary factors involved.

However, some people and events from the past will continue to seek out Huo Yuhao's existence.

Even if this Huo Yuhao is not the Huo Yuhao of the current timeline.

The same applies to the original Huo Yuhao from another time and space.

However, this is in a space-time where no extraordinary power exists.

The spiritual energy has been restored—a sign that shouldn't have appeared—but it has!

The Inner World—The Real Huo Yuhao.

Meanwhile, in the inner world...

A battle between the strongest of the strongest is nearing its end.

"Huo Yuhao, you're destined to die."

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"With so many of us, even if Huo Yuhao is incredibly strong, he's doomed!"

The person before me is the strongest person of this era.

Even if they came from humble backgrounds and had extremely poor natural talent.

However, they relied on ruthlessness and forbearance.

The person before me has already reached the pinnacle of this world.

But after his true colors were revealed.

Finally, they were met with a united attack from all the powerful beings in the world.

This is the experience that Huo Yuhao initially carried.

He once sought to gain the initiative in order to defeat Tang Buddha.

He struggled against that possible fate and catastrophic destiny.

He gave too much and lost too much.

He staked everything on power.

He would do anything for power.

Whether it's feelings, love, or anything else.

He would do anything to become stronger.

He faces many enemies, including some of his former enemies.

His former partners and lovers were among them.

Some people looked at him with hatred.

Someone looked at him with a sad expression.

But many more people have hideous faces.

It's because if we defeat him, the mountain weighing down on everyone will disappear.

"Does being at the top mean enduring everyone's cold stares?"

Huo Yuhao slowly spoke, "Is this what you wanted to tell me?"

"I am well aware of the principle that without power, one can only be trampled upon."

"But you need to know that not only Tang San, but you are also a mountain."

Huo Yuhao said to himself.

He looked at the group of people surrounding him with surprise.

However, Huo Yuhao seemed to no longer take them seriously.

It was as if we were having a conversation with a mysterious, ethereal being.

"So I choose to believe in them, to believe in those who are willing to move forward with me."

"You have your reasons, and I have mine."

"When we arrived in this strange world, neither of us had ever owned anything."

"But the world accepted me, while you are unwilling to accept the world."

"You were able to defeat Tianxin because you are really like him."

"But I'm different from you!"

At this very moment, behind Huo Yuhao, who seemed to be fighting against the world single-handedly.

One after another, illusory figures appeared, leaving everyone present astonished.

It was only because of the illusory figures that appeared behind Huo Yuhao that there were people present.

At the same time, there are also beings they do not know, yet are familiar with.

Then, they transformed into a golden spear, which Huo Yuhao grasped in his hand.

The spiritual energy has been restored and the true spirit has manifested.

Two spacetimes that were originally independent of each other, yet now encroaching on each other's spacetime.

At this moment, the channels connecting them have finally reopened.

The experiences in the surface world cannot change the original Huo Yuhao.

The past of the inner world cannot affect the real Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, both of them understood that the other's will would not change because of them.

If you were to ask why, they probably know the answer all too well.

Because they knew that they were all Huo Yuhao!

This is accompanied by the merging of the surface world and the inner world.

Aside from these two individuals who represent the pinnacle of two different time periods.

The surrounding time, space, existence, and living beings all vanished.

Only after they merge can they reconstruct a new spacetime.

Now is the moment for them to decide the victor!

Huo Yuhao's initial thought: "Come on, right here, it's time to end this."

The real Huo Yuhao: "The last person is the real 'Huo Yuhao'."

Huo Yuhao x2: "Then let's decide the final truth!"

In this spacetime that has completely vanished.

Although the two were able to retain their physical forms, their power and strength could no longer be manifested.

All that remains, all that is preserved, is a clash of wills.

Because even so-called power does not exist in the current time and space.

The only reason the two were able to stay here was...

Their wills have transcended the constraints of the present time and space.

Both of them no longer need any other medium to exist.

When the smoke of battle clears, only those with the will remain.

Only then will they be qualified to exist in the final "real spacetime"!
