"Come into the sea, child."
The voice was as gentle as ever, as all-encompassing as water.
Huo Yuhao felt like he was playing Delta Force and then hitting a couple of tiles. He
felt like he had a mother again.
A gentle breeze swept through his heart.
Afterwards, he sat in the hidden basement of the Passion Headquarters, covered the surrounding walls with a layer of spiritual power, and then took out the large piece of Life Gold from his storage soul tool.
He slowly closed his eyes and dived into the Sea of Spirit.
The Sea of Spirit was very lively at this moment.
The golden-haired boy, Tianmeng in disguise, rode on the shell of the golden hawksbill turtle, constantly hammering the golden hawksbill turtle's head.
"You dead turtle, you're sucking my life force!"
The golden hawksbill turtle helplessly endured Tianmeng's hammering, after all, Tianmeng's attacks did no harm at all.
"I was wrong. From now on, I'll call you 'brother,' okay, Brother Tianmeng?"
The Golden Tortoiseshell didn't resist at all. After all, it had secretly absorbed some of Tianmeng's life force back then, and it wouldn't hurt to let him hit it a couple of times since it was in the wrong.
Moreover, the fact that the Golden Tortoiseshell's spiritual essence could be preserved and reside in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea was thanks to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's active guidance.
Otherwise, based on its understanding of spiritual essence, its consciousness would probably have completely fallen asleep in the soul ring at the moment of sacrifice.
It could only be awakened when Huo Yuhao became a god in the future.
The Golden Tortoiseshell was a proud soul beast with great fortune, but that didn't mean it would put on airs in front of its savior.
"Also, I remember you broke through two hundred thousand years when you sacrificed yourself, didn't you?"
"Ferocious beasts can transform into human form, isn't that instinct? Why don't you transform?"
The Golden Tortoiseshell got excited at this moment, and with a movement of its body, it almost shook Tianmeng off its shell.
"I was about to ask you the same thing!"
"Why did you transform into human form? Wasn't your animal form better?"
"Brother Tianmeng, have you lost your confidence as a soul beast?"
Tianmeng's face immediately contorted with embarrassment. This damned turtle actually dared to talk back to him.
He was about to continue punching the golden hawksbill turtle's head when he suddenly sensed Huo Yuhao's consciousness entering his spiritual sea.
Tianmeng hurriedly climbed off the shell, giving the golden hawksbill turtle's head one last tap.
The golden hawksbill turtle quickly changed its expression, looking at Huo Yuhao with a pitiful expression. Tianmeng blushed instantly, almost choking on his breath.
"Aren't you a luck-based soul beast? Where did the arrogance of the golden hawksbill turtle clan go?"
"Good lad, you actually have a face-changing soul skill in your origin?!"
Huo Yuhao smiled, trying to calm the two tenants down.
"Hmph, I wouldn't bother arguing with a tortoise."
"Yuhao, what brings you to the Sea of Spirit at this hour?"
Hearing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's question, Huo Yuhao straightened his expression and looked at Tianmeng, Golden Tortoiseshell, and Ilex, saying,
"Do you remember the voice I told you about?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately replied, "Of course we remember! You said there was a voice constantly guiding you to my side."
"And I also vaguely felt a guidance."
Golden Tortoiseshell nodded to the two of them, saying,
"Me too!"
"A voice has been telling me to sacrifice myself for Yuhao."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed to have thought of something, looking at Huo Yuhao seriously, saying,
"Could it be that the voice, which seems to be the consciousness of the plane, is calling you again?"
Huo Yuhao nodded, then looked at Ilex and said,
"Yes, after I broke through to level twenty, that voice directed me to the Dream Gate."
"Elder Ilex, what do you think?"

Electrolux remained silent for a moment, then his aged yet powerful voice echoed within the sea of consciousness:
"My suggestion is, go!"
"Xiao Yuhao's sea of consciousness is too wondrous. Under the stimulation of that extremely high-quality spiritual power, I have recovered many memories."
"Plane consciousness? I don't know if such a being existed in the world I once inhabited; probably not."
"But to be called a plane, it must represent a world!"
"All living beings in that world should be considered its children."
"But now it's making a request to its own child; something must have happened!"
"Perhaps even a matter of great importance concerning the safety of the plane!"
"Moreover, as the Dream Authority is one of Yuhao's three great authorities, the Dream Gate must be traversed."
"Big Bug, Little Turtle, and Yuhao, I know what you're worried about—nothing more than fear of some kind of trap."
"Hahaha! What are you afraid of!"
"To become strong, one should not be afraid of the unknown! Challenging the unknown is always the most correct path to becoming stronger!"
"Besides, aren't I still here?"
"With the Gold of Life in hand, I can finally use some of my old methods."
"If anything really happens, I'll risk even my remnant soul to get you out!"
Hearing Ilex's aged yet powerful voice, everyone in the Sea of Spirit fell silent.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm finally understood why, even with a million years of cultivation, he couldn't defeat an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast.
He dared not risk it!
If the depletion of his spiritual essence and the damage to his body were disregarded, his spiritual power was enough to tear the Crimson King apart alive.
This wasn't unfounded; in the original story, when Huo Yuhao was in the far north, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's spiritual power could cover three thousand kilometers, distorting celestial phenomena with its sheer power. With
the Silver Dragon King absent, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was one of the highest authorities on spiritual power in the Douluo Continent. Tianmeng
remained silent for a moment, looking at Huo Yuhao. Although he didn't say anything, Huo Yuhao understood that the other also felt he should go.
The golden tortoise, without much hesitation, raised its head slightly and said,
"Yuhao, without you, this old tortoise won't live for many more years anyway. Do whatever you want!"
"This old tortoise supports you, after all, you are the one chosen by destiny!"
Huo Yuhao laughed. Since they didn't object, he would go and try his luck at the Dream Gate.
He believed that Elder Yi could protect him, and he didn't believe that Tang San could make Douluo Continent belong to the Tang family at this stage.
The God Realm still existed, and the God of Destruction was still alive. Even if he wasn't very bright, he still knew how to cause trouble for Tang San.
He had already avoided all the chains as much as possible, and he still had three great powers on him. How could Tang San possibly lock onto his location?
Back in reality, Huo Yuhao followed Electrolux's instructions and placed the Gold of Life on his forehead.
The Gold of Life emitted a bright green light, and a powerful life force surged from the Passion Headquarters, causing the plants in the entire Xilu City to grow wildly, and the residents felt an unprecedented sense of ease.
Fortunately, the Passion members and the City Lord's Mansion promptly joined forces to block relevant information, and nothing went wrong.
The large chunk of Living Gold transformed into a bluish-green liquid and entered Huo Yuhao's head.
A bluish-gold eye appeared on his forehead. This time, Electrolux didn't transfer himself to the Eye of Living.
For him, Huo Yuhao's unique spiritual power was more sufficient to sustain his existence than life force.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Golden Tortoiseshell were both stunned in their Sea of Spirit.
The Sea of Spirit, which was originally as vast as the starry sky, now had a turquoise star!
It and the Eye of Living each occupied one side, beginning their binary motion.
The Sea of Spirit expanded many times over.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed in surprise, "Spiritual power is tangible yet intangible!"
Yes, spiritual power is tangible yet intangible, or rather, it's at the Spirit Abyss Realm.
Huo Yuhao, level twenty-five, Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power!
