Yuhao had always wondered about his reincarnation, about how he had come into this world.
He always had doubts regarding this.
He was not arrogant enough to believe that such a big pie had fallen onto his head for no reason. From the very beginning, he had suspected the existence of some unknown hand, guiding everything. He had even imagined that one day, that hand might reveal itself and make him pay the corresponding price.
Now, at the very least, that mystery was solved.
There truly was a great hand.
As for the price… that still remained to be seen.
However, the mystery regarding his future vision was still left.
"What about those memories in my head?" Yuhao asked quietly. It was still necessary for him to know why they existed.
The plane's spirit did not care about his internal thoughts. It continued speaking, its tone calm and detached, revealing the truth.
"That was merely a side effect," it said
"The reason you appeared in the world, and the reason you possess those extra memories, are intertwined."
"It all happened due to me merging with you."
"In a broad sense, those memories are not truly yours but mine. When we initially merged, because of our shared connection, the memories that were related to your body were reflected back into your consciousness."
Yuhao absorbed the explanation in silence before asking another question.
"Then why did you merge with me?"
This time, the spirit did not answer directly. Instead, it posed a question of its own.
"If you see your own death, what would you do? wouldn't you try your best to survive?"
Upon hearing this, Yuhao immediately recalled a part of his vision, when he was already in the God Realm. Wutong's grandfather and grandmother had suddenly disappeared one day.
On asking around, he found out that they had left the God Realm and returned to the Douluo Continent. The explanation they gave seemed almost bullshit to him, so he had secretly investigated.
Eventually, he figured out the truth.
They were doing some secret operations. And its goal was about taking control of the Douluo Plane.
Wutong's grandfather was trying to become the Plane Lord, and her grandmother the life core of the planet.
But because it didn't concern him, He hadn't cared at that time.
'Was his situation right now somehow related to that operation?' he thought.
He understood what the plane's spirit meant by seeing death and trying its best to survive.
'But why would plane spirit even know this future? ' he pondered
This time, the spirit did not keep him waiting and started to explain.
"Huo Yuhao," it said, "the person whose body you inhabit was my chosen person to lead this era." It said
"This is something all planes do," the spirit continued, "Collecting the luck of an era and then concentrating it into a single individual."
"Filled with immense luck and destiny, this individual's chances of transcending the world's limit drastically improve."
"To some extent, we can even say that if this person does not blunder, their ascension is almost guaranteed."
The spirit paused briefly before continuing.
"And why would the world do this, you might ask?" it posed a question and then answered itself.
"It is because of reciprocity."
"Once these individuals become a god, the plane also receives the benefit."
"The level of the plane increases, and it becomes more prosperous."
"With evolution and prosperity, cultivation becomes easier, and more cultivators can reach higher realms, and that too with much more ease.
"The plane also gets some guardians, as these gods protect their home when in need. making the world safe from invasions."
"This creates a virtuous cycle, where planes help make gods, and then these gods help the plane evolve."
Yuhao listened intently.
"And for this era," the spirit said, "Huo Yuhao was that chosen one. A once-in-ten-thousand-year talent and destined to become a god and lead the world forward."
"All things were the same as usual. I was just creating another chosen one, as I had been doing for countless years."
"So there was no reason for any complication to occur."
"But this time, during the process, something different happened."
The spirit's tone grew heavier.
"I suddenly got a very bad premonition."
"I didn't know why or where it came from, but I understood one thing clear."
"It was fatal."
"And I had to do something."
"I kept feeling the threat getting closer, the danger rising with every passing moment. and I understood, if I didn't resolve it immediately, I might not survive."
"So I stopped the chosen process midway. That could be done later," I thought, "at worst, it will just waste one era."
"I had to first know the source of this new threat, and I used all the gathered luck to derive fate, trying to see if I could find something."
"Then the vision appeared."
"After it ended, I understood."
"I now knew the reason for the crisis."
"It was my last time creating a chosen."
"The gods in the god realm were going to interfere in the future; they were going to replace me with one of their own."
"And the luck in my hand was my final weapon to resist that future, to avoid being replaced."
"As this luck was draining, my own future was becoming perilous."
Then the spirit paused and asked Yuhao, "You have already seen this future, so you must know what I am talking about."
Yuhao nodded slowly and just said two names.
"Tang Hao. Ah Yin."
The plane spirit hummed in agreement before continuing.
"Even though I understood the problem, a new crisis emerged."
"The use of all luck has affected me; it has evolved me."
"We plane spirits are a natural manifestation, an embodiment of plane's law."
"With such power comes responsibility."
"We must govern the rules impartially,"
"We must not possess a personal will."
"But the vision had awakened one within me, and so the world's punishment arrived."
"It started to corrode my will and strip me of my authority."
"I knew that I would not survive this process."
"There was one solution—one used by other plane spirits."
"I needed a god, and I needed it immediately."
"But where could I find one?"
"There was no time."
"In a hurry, I tried thinking of another solution."
"Time was ticking, and I was getting weakened, and then suddenly, the inspiration stuck"
"Bring someone not of this world and use it to stabilize the condition."
"I must find an otherworldly demon."
"With my last trace of sanity, I immediately expanded my senses and started looking around the world."
"That's when I found a space turbulation, some distance away from the planet, and nearby it, I sensed a soul."
"I used the world's source as energy and brought it to the world. To prevent it from disappearing, I inserted the soul into the chosen one's body and then attached myself to it."
"Only then did the punishment stopped"
"I had hidden my will behind this otherworldly demon."
"Although I retained my authority, the punishment still damaged me, and so I went into an unconscious state and only awoke today during the martial soul awakening."
The spirit's voice softened after this.
"That otherworldly demon… was You."
"Due to instinct, I could still protect you even while unconscious, but I could no longer communicate with you."
"One thing you should know is that after that day, we can now be considered one and the same."
"We have stayed together for too long, and can no longer separate, at least not by mortal methods."
With this, the explanation ended.
Yuhao listened silently till the end.
He was so goosebumped by the events that he forgot to even speak.
The truth behind his reincarnation… the truth behind his future vision… he was utterly stunned.
The spirit stopped speaking, letting Yuhao digest all this information.
Yuhao remained silent, too deep in thought.
but after a while, when he came out of them.
Only two words left his mouth, "Thank You."
He should have died on that day. But he survived.
No matter the situation, it didn't change the fact that Spirit had given him a second chance at life.

A/N:
With this, we've wrapped up the mystery behind Yuhao's reincarnation and his future knowledge.
