"Mom is gone..."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was pinned down by the Golden Tortoise in the Sea of Spirit, tears streaming down its face as it looked at the place where the planet's will had vanished.
Then, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm turned its head fiercely to the Golden Tortoise and said:
"You dead turtle, you better pray that I don't learn alchemy."
"Otherwise, I'll definitely let you experience what it feels like to be pinned down!"
The Golden Tortoise looked at Electrolux and Huo Yuhao with a wronged expression and said:
"Brother Tianmeng, isn't this for your own good?"
"I, this old turtle, just want you to get better soon, don't I?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked at its innocent face and its face turned red.
It had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and the number of times it had experienced the red-warmth phenomenon was less than a month!
"I..."
"Fine, get off me!"
"I sensed that Mom seems to have left us something too!"
The Golden Tortoise tilted its head, a little puzzled, but still slowly got off Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Tianmeng straightened his clothes, put his white hood back on, and used his mental energy to conjure a small mirror to check his reflection:
"Luckily, the threads on my spiritual body weren't broken."
Then, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm released his mental energy in the starry sea of his mind, finding three orbs of light in a corner.
Tianmeng limped over with the three orbs, his gait clearly indicating he'd been badly disciplined by the Golden Tortoise.
The three orbs radiated a dazzling golden light, with countless intertwined energy lines within, even reflecting the images of mountains and rivers.
Before Electrox could even examine them with his divine sense, one of the orbs rushed into his body.
The other two entered Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the Golden Tortoise, respectively.
Electrox instinctively tried to expel the unknown object, but discovered that the orb was replenishing his remnant soul.
When he first arrived in this world, he only had fragments of his consciousness left; he had no memories and no physical form, only remaining as a small gray orb.
It was only after being nurtured by Huo Yuhao's spiritual power, which could be described as the ultimate spirit, and the nourishment of the Life Gold that he barely regained his memories.
Now, this ball of light was actually directly acting on his shattered soul, repairing the cracks in his body little by little.
It didn't take long for the gray ball of light, which had stopped maintaining its energy-saving state, to transform back into human form.
A young man with long silver-gray hair and wearing a black and gold robe appeared in the sky above the Sea of Spirit.
It was none other than the human form of Electrox.
Electrox stretched out his hands, clasped them together, and a smile appeared on his face. In a voice that did not match his appearance, he said:
"My consciousness is stable? No, now it can be called a complete soul."
"Now, I really owe this world a huge favor!"
Electrolux didn't remain in human form. After assessing his soul state, he transformed back into a small gray sphere.
He'd actually gotten used to this state recently.
Below, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had somehow transformed into its beast form.
The sphere of light became a large cocoon enveloping its body, from which silvery-white light, like sharp swords, constantly pierced through.
Sensing the movement in his spiritual sea, Huo Yuhao channeled his consciousness into the cocoon. Seeing Electrolux's extremely stable state, he exclaimed with delight,
"Elder Electrolux, your soul has stabilized!"
"And, Brother Heavenly Dream, is this about to transform into a butterfly?"
Electrolux chuckled and said, "Yes, I owe the planet's will a big favor."
"What kind of butterfly can a big worm transform into? Just a moth!"
As soon as Electrolux finished speaking, the cocoon was pierced by a silver light, and a strange moth with interwoven gold and blue patterns appeared before the two.
"Alright, it really is a moth."
Heavenly Dream was displeased, transforming back into a blond child wearing a hood and saying to Huo Yuhao,
"What kind of moth!"
"Brother, this is called the Heavenly Dream Golden Moth!"
Huo Yuhao gave an old man's expression, looking like he was on the subway with his phone.
"What a tongue-twisting name, and isn't that still a moth?"
Tianmeng muttered incomprehensible words, her face flushed, something about "not worrying about million-year-old soul beasts" and "this is evolution."
But quickly, Tianmeng shook her head, looking at Huo Yuhao with confidence, and said,
"Alright, forget about it. This golden ball of light Mom gave me has allowed my origin to evolve and be replenished!"
"My spiritual power level has now reached the high-level of the Spirit Domain Realm you mentioned."
"I can vaguely sense the birth of a spiritual domain."
"I'll immediately transfer this domain to your first soul ring; I don't need it right now."
Although Tianmeng sounded regretful, her hands didn't slow down at all, swiftly grafting the newly formed spiritual domain onto her first soul ring.
Huo Yuhao quickly learned the effects of this spiritual domain.
Then, his lips twitched violently, almost unable to contain himself.
Spiritual domains are rather mysterious; their effects might have nothing to do with the spirit itself.
For example, Tang Wulin's Time Reversal Domain, Gu Yuena's Space Lockdown Domain, Enci's Black Hole Domain, and Tong Yu's Five Elements Rotation Domain.
Tong Yu is quite interesting; his martial soul was originally an earth-attribute dog, but due to love, he took poison, which activated his Qilin bloodline, transforming his martial soul into a Qilin.
Huo Yuhao can only say that you really can't control bloodlines; even a dog can become a Qilin. It's unclear what similarities these two have.
Four legs? One head? Or both have tails?
This can't be examined in detail; you just don't know how strong your martial soul is until you're pushed to the limit.
Tianmeng's awakened mental domain is purely mental.
It's a plus version of a combination of mental sharing and mental interference.
After activating the domain, a space will unfold, enveloping reality and filled with spiritual energy. This spiritual energy will forcibly instill a large amount of useless information into the enemy's brain,
rendering them unable to think. That's right, this is the signature domain of the legendary 2.5 Satoru—Boundless Emptiness.
Huo Yuhao simply named this domain Boundless Emptiness.
Anyway, no one in this world is asking him for royalties. Even in his previous life, the author was long gone, probably killed in the lunar crisis.
It was only later, to save resources, that entertainment was strictly controlled.
A large number of novels and comics from the golden age were collected as last resorts for spiritual entertainment.
Otherwise, Huo Yuhao wouldn't even know about this comic.
Huo Yuhao thought about it carefully. If he wore an eye patch, modified his body with a faceless mask, and used the Reversal Technique and alchemy,
he might be able to perfectly cosplay 2.5 Satoru.
Even the Limitless Technique, Huo Yuhao, through his research on alchemy, had some ideas on how to replicate this technique in Douluo Continent.
One day, after seeing Tang San, he'd say,
"Tang San, you're the challenger!" No
sooner said than done, once Huo Yuhao returned to the real world, he'd study this technique with Elder Yi and the others.
He'd also teach them alchemy during the research; practice plus theory is always the fastest way to learn.
Besides, the Limitless Technique was indeed worth studying; its effects were quite good.
No one ever complains about having too many life-saving skills
. Just look at that certain Song-surname big shot who transcended in a year—he practically carried hundreds of resurrection artifacts with
him whenever he went out. Such a big shot must be right; life-saving skills must be plentiful!
Huo Yuhao's best-case scenario was a layer of Limitless Technique over the Golden Armor.
And inside the Golden Armor, a Divine Might Illusion!
Even if everything was broken,
the Reversal Technique plus the enormous Life Gold would definitely give the enemy a huge surprise!
He just didn't know if Elder Yi's necromancy could achieve resurrection.
Not long after, the Golden Tortoise Shell also completed its transformation; its originally triangular pyramid-shaped head was now closer to a dragon's head.
Golden dragon horns extended upwards from the head, making the tortoise shell even more ferocious. A strange black serpent coiled around the shell, and the two heads seemed to share the same mind.
Two pairs of eyes stared at Huo Yuhao with joyful eyes, which puzzled Huo Yuhao.
Was there a connection between the golden tortoise shell and the Black Tortoise?
"Old turtle, why did you transform into a Xuanwu?"
Looking at Huo Yuhao's expression, the Golden Tortoise arrogantly raised its head and said,
"As the king of tortoise-type soul beasts, of course I possess the Xuanwu bloodline!"
"You humans used to search extensively for the Golden Tortoise clan because of this Xuanwu bloodline."
"Of course, in the end, the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest were extremely cruel."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm revealed a disdainful expression and said, "And then?"
"You just awakened a bloodline?"
"You can't even leave now, what's the use of your bloodline evolving?"
"Tortoise, we are Yuhao's soul rings, be more spirited, don't embarrass yourself!"
As a proud member of the Qi clan, the Golden Tortoise naturally couldn't stand such mockery, and said in a gruff voice,
"Of course, I, the old tortoise, have something for Yuhao!"
"Yuhao, you wait! I'm coming!"
Accompanied by a dragon's roar from the Golden Tortoise! Both heads simultaneously emitted a rose-gold light.
In the Douluo Continent, rose-gold represents destiny!
Then, this magnificent and mysterious light surged from the golden tortoiseshell's forehead, forming a nebula within the spirit.
The nebula compressed continuously until it became a single bead.
The golden tortoiseshell, now completely burned, arrogantly breathed on Tianmeng just before it fainted.
Tianmeng was utterly dumbfounded.
"I was just saying it casually, and you actually have it!"
Ilex, seeing this, immediately understood!
"Yuhao, quickly open the Eye of Life!"
Huo Yuhao, hearing Ilex's words, also realized what this was!
He hurriedly opened the Eye of Life, and a bluish-gold eye appeared on his forehead. This small rose-gold bead rushed out from the sea of spirit
and then went straight into the space between the eyebrows of the Eye of Life.
This small bead began to connect with flesh and blood, and Huo Yuhao immediately felt a tearing pain in his forehead.
It was like the pain of regeneration from the Reversal Technique; his flesh writhed and twisted, and his nerves were amplified!
The pain lasted for ten minutes, and the small bead had completely merged with the Eye of Life.
The eye on his forehead now had a rose-gold pupil, as if a star was burning within it.
Around the eye were cyan-gold patterns, representing the life force of the metal of life.
Huo Yuhao closed the Eye of Life—no, it should now be called the Eye of Destiny.
He could feel his second sea of consciousness appearing within the Eye of Destiny, greatly enhancing his mental power!
If he opened his panel now, his mental power would probably be at 8000!
The abilities he gained through the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the original story were now almost complete through the Golden Tortoise Shell.
Fate is indeed never fair, but luckily he was Fate's favorite.
Huo Yuhao, imitating Tianmeng, created a small mirror of mental power and looked at his forehead.
Sure enough, a rose-gold diamond-shaped mark had appeared.
"Good, good, now I have a tattoo on my head too."
"Hurry up and bring out the front and back too!"
In three thousand words, Huo Yuhao had basically collected all the cheat codes from the original story, and they were all arranged.
