Douluo: Starting by Taking Control of the Holy Ghost Cult's Saintess

Huo Yuhao was so excited he wanted to let out a long howl, but considering that the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena and the Ten Thousand Demon King were still present, he had to dismiss the thought.

"You have indeed proven to us your identity as the Son of Fortune. In the future, you will be the protagonist of this continent," the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's beautiful face was expressionless, as if she were merely stating a fact.

"However, you should know what kind of fate will befall you now that your identity as the Son of Fortune has been exposed before my soul beast lineage."

Gu Yuena's eyes gradually became cold. "You have indeed given me a reason not to kill you, but I will try every means to strip you of your fortune and successfully graft it onto my soul beast lineage, thereby realizing the great revival of the soul beast lineage."

"You want to create a god, don't you?" Huo Yuhao smiled. "Actually, the Beast God Di Tian has been trying for a long time. It's just that as the other half of the Dragon God, you should know very well why soul beasts cannot achieve godhood."

Hearing this, Gu Yuena's expression couldn't help but change slightly. "What are you trying to say?"

"The reason soul beasts, or rather, the Dragon Clan, cannot become gods, was the Dragon God's own choice."

The moment these words were spoken, the Ten Thousand Demon King's expression immediately turned ugly. As one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, how could it not understand the weight the Dragon God held among soul beasts?

A terrifying spiritual pressure instantly enveloped Huo Yuhao, almost making him kneel on the spot. Gu Yuena's God-King realm spiritual cultivation was undoubtedly revealed. Her face was fierce as she stared intently at Huo Yuhao. "Who... on... earth... are... you?"

The secret of the Dragon God's fall, besides the parties involved, almost no one knew. Where did this boy before them get this information?

"The Dragon God's choice was undoubtedly a free and easy one. As its other half, you should be clear about this, yet you still hold onto the obsession of becoming a god. This just doesn't make sense," Huo Yuhao struggled to resist Gu Yuena's spiritual pressure, his eyes burning as he stared at her expression.

Gu Yuena's figure transformed into a flash of silver light, appearing in front of Huo Yuhao almost instantly. She stretched out a slender jade hand and grabbed his throat.

"Yuhao!" the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm cried out in alarm. Just as it was about to step forward to stop the Silver Dragon King, it was also suppressed by her spiritual pressure.

"How much do you know?" Gu Yuena finally lost her previous composure. Her beautiful eyes were gloomy, and she had the urge to kill Huo Yuhao on the spot if they had another disagreement.

"Hehe, kill me, and even if you can rescue the Golden Dragon King from the God Realm in the future, you still won't be able to successfully become the Dragon God, even with the Dragon God's core!" Huo Yuhao grabbed her arm with both hands and said, struggling to support himself.

"Give me a reason," Gu Yuena said coldly, but her hand unconsciously tightened its grip a little.

"What if I say that in the future, I am confident I can withstand the laws of the universe for the soul beast lineage?"

Gu Yuena's defenses were finally broken. Her expression instantly became flustered. Her hand loosened, and Huo Yuhao fell back to the ground, gasping for breath.

"Believe it or not, if you cannot gain the recognition of that law or have the capital to fight against it, your soul beast lineage will never produce another god!"

Huo Yuhao had said what needed to be said. This secret, which only appeared in Douluo IV, was completely conveyed by his own mouth to this Silver Dragon King who often played at amnesia.

The Silver Dragon King might have known these facts, or she might have forgotten them again due to amnesia.

If they couldn't put the most important bargaining chips of both sides on the table, then this cooperation was simply impossible to discuss.

"My soul beasts can't do it, so you think you can?" Gu Yuena's face was ugly. The way she bit her teeth made Huo Yuhao's heart stir.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but turn his head to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm behind him. Perhaps it could express it more clearly.

The Ice Empress, who had been under house arrest in the shed skin, was also released by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. Together with the Ten Thousand Demon King, she listened to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's retelling, as in the original novel.

If one were to talk about the race with the most potential on this continent, it would undoubtedly be humans.

Although there were many noble clans among the soul beasts, they were still much inferior compared to the most prodigious group of human elites.

The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke eloquently, using the few existences that had become gods ten thousand years ago as examples, letting the Ice Empress and the Ten Thousand Demon King try to put themselves in the perspective of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. Only by becoming a god and receiving the blessing of the God Realm could one have an endless life.

Soul beasts with noble bloodlines like the Ice Empress would rather choose to face their great limit than to re-cultivate as humans. The final result, without exception, was that they all perished one after another.

Nowadays, the only way for soul beasts was to unconditionally entrust themselves to a chosen human. Only then would both parties have a chance to touch that sliver of opportunity to become a god.

Whether it was the Ice Empress or the now heavily injured Ten Thousand Demon King, it was absolutely impossible for them to successfully pass the next great limit. Rather than perishing and returning to the heavens and the earth, it was better to take a gamble on the Son of Fortune of this era.

Hearing it speak to this point, the Ice Empress and the Ten Thousand Demon King were finally moved. In a deep voice, they asked, "How much confidence do you have?"

The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm did not give them an estimate as it had in the past. Instead, it showed a fanatical smile. "That would naturally be one hundred percent!"

Just as the Ice Empress and the Ten Thousand Demon King were questioning its claim of absolute certainty, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm slightly bowed towards Huo Yuhao. "Your Majesty, the message has been delivered. It is now your turn to take the stage."

As the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice fell, an ethereal figure slowly walked out from within Huo Yuhao's body, as noble and beautiful as when they first met. Time seemed unable to leave any trace on this woman.

The Ten Thousand Demon King, being well-versed, finally figured out the true identity of the person before it.

"The battle of two gods versus two gods from ten thousand years ago, one of them, the Rakshasa God! Bibi Dong?"

"A true god?" The Ice Empress was also dumbfounded. As powerful as it was, it was naturally impossible for it not to distinguish the qualitative difference between the unbeatable divine power on Bibi Dong and the soul power they cultivated.

The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm struck while the iron was hot. "How about it? Bingbing, you should think carefully. Opportunity knocks but once."

Gu Yuena's expression was strange. She knew very well what kind of divine soul aura a true god possessed.

"You are a fallen god."

"That's right," Bibi Dong did not deny it. Her beautiful eyes, looking at Gu Yuena, held a slight, inexplicable displeasure. "Even though I have been dead for many years, I still have complete confidence in letting Yuhao at least achieve the Rakshasa God's god-seat, thereby obtaining eternal life."

"That's right! Ladies and gentlemen, you'd better think carefully about your stance!"

Electrolux, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't bear the loneliness and also popped out to chime in with a chuckle.

"Another divine sense!" The Ten Thousand Demon King and the Ice Empress cried out in unison. How is this kid full of cheats?

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude. Both Bibi Dong and Electrolux had taken a great risk to show themselves, to fight for a chance for him to negotiate with the soul beast lineage. One must know, in their current state, they couldn't withstand a casual blow from Gu Yuena.

Even so, they still chose to show themselves and help.

The day I become a god, you shall all be honored guests at my table!

The Ten Thousand Demon King's eyes darted around. It knew very well that now that it was heavily injured, the opportunity was right before it. Although it was a very forbearing soul beast, it was also extremely good at seizing any opportunity to ascend to the heavens in one step.

Even if its origin was not injured, with its ability, it would be difficult to survive the next great limit.

Rather than calmly facing the inevitable calamity tens of thousands of years later, why not take a gamble while the Son of Fortune was right in front of it!

The Ice Empress was silent. Gu Yuena was also silent. But the Ten Thousand Demon King's body moved.

The Ten Thousand Demon King came before Huo Yuhao in a single stride. Before he could react, it raised both hands, lowered its head, and cupped its fists at Huo Yuhao in a human ritual, its hands higher than its head, a posture of submission. "Son of Fortune, oh no, Big Shot! Big Shot, are you missing a leg hair? I, the Demon Eye Demon Tree, will follow you from now on. I'm familiar with that evil soul master's set of tricks. I hope that after you become a god, you will grant this little one eternal life!"

Gu Yuena was just about to continue negotiating terms with Huo Yuhao, but she never expected this guy to so shamelessly submit. She suspected that if she weren't by his side, this guy would probably have even knelt down.

"You're a fcking genius!" The corner of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's mouth twitched wildly. Back then, when this guy was freely absorbing my worldly primordial energy, how did I not see that this guy was so cheap?*

"Uh..." Huo Yuhao touched his nose. He couldn't refuse such a grand gesture. He praised it, "The moment I saw your appearance, I knew that besides good deeds, you would dare to do anything. You just lacked an opportunity."

"That's right!" The Ten Thousand Demon King nodded repeatedly. The way he was bowing and scraping made it impossible for anyone to connect him with his previous arrogant appearance.

"That woman of mine needs your help," Huo Yuhao didn't dawdle and directly brought out Zhongli Yu, who was hanging on by a thread with the help of the Rakshasa divine power.

"I would go through fire and water for you, Brother Hao!" Among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, in terms of healing ability, the Ten Thousand Demon King was second only to the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji.

He who understands the times is a wise man! What was image compared to the importance of becoming a god?

TLNote: The chapter title is modern Chinese internet slang. Asking a powerful person, or "Big Shot" (大佬 - dàlǎo), if they are "missing a leg hair" (缺腿毛不? - quē tuǐmáo bù?) is a humorous and extremely sycophantic way of asking to become their follower. It's an evolution of the slang "hugging a thigh" (抱大腿 - bào dàtuǐ), which means to latch onto someone powerful for benefits. The "leg hair" implies being so minor a follower that you're just one of their leg hairs.)
