"Mom!"
Unfortunately, in the end, Huo Yuhao couldn't suppress the overwhelming feeling of closeness that welled up from his heart.
He couldn't help but become Huo Yuhao's junior.
The little girl in red stood in the middle of the glass road, the most vibrant color in this world. Her delicate face showed a puzzled expression when she heard Huo Yuhao's words.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Golden Tortoise Shell in the Sea of Spirit also hurriedly covered their mouths.
Because they had also been unable to hold back and called out, becoming Huo Yuhao's dutiful sons.
In fact, no matter who it was, as long as they were a life form born on Douluo Star, they would involuntarily call out "Mom" when they saw the girl in front of them.
This was an impulse from the soul, a life's pursuit and love for its origin.
Ilex didn't feel anything about this. He only felt that the little girl in front of him was sacred.
This was mainly because Ilex was a harmless alien species.
Of course, there was another kind of harmful alien invasive species.
The little girl in red looked at Huo Yuhao gently with eyes like obsidian.
It was a gaze from another world. Huo Yuhao felt that all his secrets had nowhere to hide.
Or perhaps it was an instinctive lack of defensiveness, like a child not maliciously deceiving their mother.
That gaze was incredibly clear, piercing directly into Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea; yet it wasn't sharp, instead making the spiritual sea feel exceptionally comfortable.
That gaze then lingered on Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the Golden Tortoiseshell.
Tianmeng, that disappointing Ice Silkworm, immediately left behind a small pearl.
The Golden Tortoiseshell trembled violently, motionless, instinctively wanting to retract its head, but its brain prevented it.
Its brain, even its very destiny, was forcefully holding down the Golden Tortoiseshell's body, bathing it in the gaze of the planet's will.
Soon, the little girl's gaze shifted to Ilex.
This time, the gaze wasn't so gentle; a sharp gaze carefully scanned every part of the gray sphere.
Electrolux, being a remnant soul, faced immense pressure directly from the will of a planet.
The air currents around the gray sphere instinctively concealed its body, and the two spheres remained locked in a silent stalemate.
However, the little girl in red quickly smiled and ceased her examination of Electrolux.
Ever since the harmful invasive alien species ten thousand years ago had taught her a harsh lesson,
she had maintained a wary attitude towards outsiders and wouldn't let anyone in casually.
Of course, if they were refugees who wouldn't endanger the plane itself, she was willing to accept them after assessing their safety.
Therefore, after confirming that Electrolux posed no threat to Huo Yuhao or the plane itself, she chose to accept him.
The little girl took a small step forward, reached out her hand, and then pushed off with her toes, trying to stroke Huo Yuhao's head.
Realizing she wasn't tall enough, a regretful expression appeared on her delicate face.
Huo Yuhao looked at her gently, squatted down, and placed her hand on his head.
The little planetary will's face clearly showed a happy smile as she ruffled Huo Yuhao's black, tousled hair.
"Good boy."
The ethereal and gentle voice filled Huo Yuhao with immense joy.
However, at that moment, because the ball and the person were so close, Huo Yuhao clearly saw that the dress, which should have been flawless, was covered with countless black dots!
The black dots spread upwards from the hem of the dress, emanating an ominous and blasphemous aura.
An inexplicable fire ignited within Huo Yuhao.
Not only Huo Yuhao, but Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Golden Tortoise Shell also saw the black dots on the planet's will through their spiritual power.
They were also extremely angry!
It was like a child witnessing their mother being bullied, eager to tear that person apart! Insult! Rape!
Even Electrox, the outsider, couldn't hold back any longer. His divine sense could clearly feel that those ominous black dots were eroding the planet's will.
Someone, or rather, some being, was slowly taking over a world.
"Ribbit! Who hurt my mother!"
"Brother will use his spiritual power to kill him!!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm tugged at her hair, unable to bear the sight.
Like America's black friends, the Ice Silkworm Clan never sees their parents from birth.
This was the first time Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had truly felt a mother's caring gaze.
He finally understood why he was so infatuated with Ice Emperor.
It was because he lacked love and craved care.
He had been hunted by Ice Emperor for years, and just as Yuhao had explained with Stockholm syndrome and the suspension bridge effect, he had mistaken Ice Emperor's power for love!
Now, truly feeling a mother's love, he realized how terribly wrong he had been.
Seeing that motherly figure being harmed, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was beyond furious!
"Brother Tianmeng, calm down, see what Yuhao has to say,"
Golden Tortoise quickly pressed Tianmeng Ice Silkworm down with its body to prevent him from having an attack.
Meanwhile, outside, Huo Yuhao stared intently at the black spot on the planetary will.
He asked seriously, "Who is it?"
"Where is it now?"
In truth, Huo Yuhao knew who had treated the Douluo Star's plane consciousness this way.
Besides Tang Buddha, there was no one else capable of doing such a thing.
The little girl in red gently stroked Huo Yuhao's cheek and said softly,
"Not yet."
"It's still too dangerous."
Huo Yuhao looked into her bright eyes and said seriously,
"I'm not stupid, of course I won't go now."
"At least let me know where the enemy is!"
After hesitating for a moment, the little girl gently leaned closer, their foreheads lightly touching.
Huo Yuhao's mind flashed across the entire Douluo Star, until two locations slowly emerged.
One was Seagod Island of Shrek Academy, where a golden ancient tree stood.
The other was also in the Heavenly Soul Empire, not far from Heaven Dou City, a mountain range shrouded in clouds, with an ancient castle at its core—Haotian Castle, or Haotian Sect.
These places were not unexpected for Huo Yuhao.
After all, Tang Shenwang's main methods were deployed in these two places.
No, he should also add Qiankun Wenqing Valley.
Damn it, Tang San, after all, ascended to the God Realm from Douluo Continent. Instead of repaying Douluo Star, why are all his underhanded and malicious tricks directed at Douluo Star?
Especially since he had an extremely difficult, long-term plan to maintain.
It was truly the first lesson after landing – forgetting one's roots.
Huo Yuhao continued to ask her, "Currently, several people are attempting to corrupt you."
The little girl twirled her fingers and said, "Currently, one, and another is preparing."
"They want to obtain the life essence first."
Huo Yuhao nodded, roughly understanding the current situation on Douluo Star.
The Golden Ancient Tree was probably being used by Tang San to gradually open the treasury of life essence on Douluo Star
. The former Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, probably didn't dare to openly seize the life core.
The existence of the God of Destruction prevented Tang San from completely dominating the God Realm.
Tang Hao was probably in the preparation stage, awaiting Tang San's instructions.
Afterwards, Huo Yuhao hesitated, unsure whether he should ask her a question that troubled him.
He didn't understand why the planet's will was so kind to him.
He and Electrolux should both be outsiders, shouldn't they?
The little girl in red seemed to see through Huo Yuhao's confusion. She cupped his face in her small hands and whispered,
"Because you gave me form, you gave me consciousness."
"Lord of the Spirit, present, past, and forever."
