NOVEL NEXT Chapter 188: Attempting to Interfere with the Millennia Plan
Jing Hongchen quickly flew in front of Huo Yuhao and asked, "Yuhao, what exactly is going on?"
Huo Yuhao patted Ice Bear King's neck, signaling it to stop, then turned to Jing Hongchen and said, "Dean, do you remember my Snow Empress Spirit Soul?"
Jing Hongchen paused, his mind recalling past events. He remembered the ten thousand year soul beast embryo that Mingde Hall had acquired at the Starlight Auction House. That embryo later became Huo Yuhao's Spirit Soul.
Of course, based on the level of that embryo, it was likely closer to a two hundred thousand year old soul beast rather than a mere hundred thousand year one.
On the Douluo Continent, hundred thousand year old soul beasts were already extremely rare.
As for soul beasts that had survived a heavenly tribulation, they were even scarcer. That's why Jing Hongchen had such a deep impression of that soul beast embryo.
"This Ice Bear King is connected to that Snow Empress Spirit Soul?" he asked.
Huo Yuhao nodded and smiled. "Dean, do you remember the 'opportunity' I mentioned before I left? This is the opportunity I found. This Ice Bear King has a cultivation of nearly two hundred thousand years.
"In the Extreme North, it's known as the Ice Bear King. However, its time is running out, and it desperately needs a way out.
"Since my Snow Empress Spirit Soul has a good relationship with it, she managed to persuade it to agree to become my Spirit Soul in the future. Of course, since it has not yet reached the end of its life, it will serve as my bodyguard for now."
According to the setting of Peerless Tang Sect, there was only one member of the Ice Sky Snow Woman race Snow Empress.
Snow Empress had no biological parents in the traditional soul beast sense; she was born from the heavens and earth, similar to the God Beast, the Emperor Auspicious Beast.
However, Jing Hongchen was unaware that Snow Empress was the only one of her kind.
In the history of the Douluo Continent, nearly everyone who had seen Snow Empress had died after all, she was far too powerful. As a result, humans only knew that the Ice Sky Snow Woman race was extremely mysterious and that its leader, Snow Empress, was exceptionally strong, but they didn't know the deeper secrets of the race.
Jing Hongchen's face was filled with shock. "A beast of this level serving as your bodyguard… and it plans to become your Spirit Soul in the future? Yuhao, this opportunity is simply incredible. You're bound to become even stronger."
He had always known that Huo Yuhao was an unparalleled genius, but even geniuses needed time to grow.
Now, with this Ice Bear King and his so called Dragon Soul, Huo Yuhao was already strong enough to kill an ordinary Titled Douluo. Even though this power came from external forces, external forces were still a part of one's strength.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Dean, opportunities like this do make me stronger. But since we've been rushing to the Extreme North without much rest, I'm feeling a bit exhausted. I'd like to return to the camp and rest first."
"Wait, Yuhao, there are soul beasts moving everywhere in the Extreme North. I suspect a beast tide is happening. For safety's sake, we should leave immediately. If you need to rest, you can do so on the way out," Jing Hongchen said worriedly.
Huo Yuhao immediately explained, "Dean, this isn't a beast tide. It's just that some things have happened in the Extreme North. Don't worry, even though there are more soul beasts moving around, it won't affect our mining operations or our safety."
Jing Hongchen hesitated for a moment, then decided to trust Huo Yuhao. Every time he had trusted Yuhao in the past, nothing had gone wrong. As a result, his trust in him had only grown stronger.
"Alright, go rest," Jing Hongchen said, waving his hand.
Huo Yuhao nodded and immediately rode Ice Bear King back to camp. Along the way, many soul engineers tensed up, their faces filled with astonishment.
To reassure everyone, Jing Hongchen quickly flew over and gave them a brief explanation of what had happened with Huo Yuhao.
Inside the camp, Ice Bear King transformed into a plump man and walked in behind Huo Yuhao.
With his near two hundred thousand year cultivation, he could assume human form without needing to restart his cultivation as a human. However, this transformation was only superficial he couldn't cultivate like a human.
As he stepped inside, Ice Bear King curiously examined the furnishings of the camp. Everything looked novel to him.
"This is where humans live? It looks much better than my ice cave," Ice Bear King commented with admiration.
Snow Empress emerged from Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea and appeared in the tent. She said, "Humans are an incredibly creative race. Over the past few years, I've come to realize that more and more."
Huo Yuhao had no time to entertain their musings about humanity. He sat cross legged and began channeling his spiritual power toward the golden light in his spiritual sea.
He wanted to communicate with the consciousness of the plane.
Based on the timeline, Tang San's millennia long plan should have been set in motion back in Soul Land II.
This so called "millennia plan" involved attracting the Abyss Plane to invade the Douluo Star, allowing Douluo Star to consume the Abyss Plane and thereby upgrade itself.
On the surface, it seemed like Tang San was doing this to help Douluo Star develop further. But given his personality, Tang San would never do something that didn't benefit him personally.
Originally, when Tang San devised the millennia plan, it wasn't even meant for Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin was born far too late for that. Tang San had a strong sense of foresight, but he wasn't omniscient he never foresaw that his second child would be infected by the Golden Dragon King's divine core.
Even when Xiao Wu was pregnant with Tang Wulin, Tang San despite being a God King didn't know about it until the Goddess of Life reminded him.
The true purpose of Tang San's millennia plan was to turn Douluo Star into the Tang Family's personal playground.
Although the plan didn't unfold exactly as expected, in the end, Tang Hao became the Lord of the Plane, and Ah Yin became the Life Core of Douluo Star.
With the two most crucial positions on the planet occupied by Tang San's family, Douluo Star was effectively reduced to "Tang Family Star."
With this in mind, Huo Yuhao began pouring a vast amount of spiritual power into the golden light in his spiritual sea.
Soon, a weak consciousness emerged.
"Huo Yuhao… are you in trouble again?" The plane's consciousness spoke in a feeble voice.
"No trouble, but I want to ask do you have any way to contact the God of Destruction?" Huo Yuhao asked directly.
He was preparing to interfere with the millennia plan and use it as a way to deal a blow to Tang San.
To do so, he had to "set a tiger against a wolf" if he could get the God of Destruction to intervene by accusing Tang Hao of violating the laws of the God Realm, then the plane's consciousness could be freed, and his own plans on Douluo Star would unfold much more smoothly.
After all, the plane's consciousness understood Douluo Star far better than he did. If his plan succeeded, Huo Yuhao would undoubtedly reap great benefits.
