Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Upon hearing Meteor's words, Huo Yuhao's pupils constricted sharply, but in reality, he was not as shocked as he had expected.

He had long harbored doubts about Wang Dong'er's identity, after all, he had already learned from Electrolux that a powerful divine consciousness was hidden deep within Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea.

His subsequent experiences in Qiankun Wenqing Valley further convinced him that Wang Dong'er's identity was anything but simple; he just couldn't be sure.

"Do you still remember the auspicious beast emperor in the Star Dou Great Forest?" Meteor continued unhurriedly.

"You mean, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?" Huo Yuhao asked hesitantly.

"That's right. Back then, you forcibly seized the power of destiny from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and used it to enhance your own spiritual power. But what you didn't know was that at that moment, the Sea God Tang San took the opportunity to split Wang Dong'er's soul in half and placed it into the body of the Emperor Beast. His plan was to use this to seize the soul beast luck and power of destiny of the Star Dou Great Forest." Meteor's expression was calm, but every word was like thunder, exploding in Huo Yuhao's ears.

"Tang San's move was truly ingenious. His Emperor Beast bloodline is incredibly noble, and he possesses the Dragon God bloodline and immense soul beast fortune. If his daughter can seize all of this, then becoming a god might not be difficult for her. For his daughter's future, or perhaps for his own, he has gone to great lengths," Meteor sneered and continued.

"However, the fusion of the two planes caused his meticulously planned scheme to fail, and the entire plan was completely disrupted. After the Emperor Beast merged with that half of its soul, it was reborn and became an independent individual. In this matter, there were two victims: one was Wang Dong'er, whose soul was split in half, and the other was the original Emperor Beast, which, in a sense, was also dead." Meteor slowly recounted the ins and outs of the matter, but deliberately concealed the key role that Gu Yuena played in it.

After all, if Gu Yuena hadn't intervened, Tang San's scheme would likely have succeeded, and Wang Dong'er wouldn't be in this awkward predicament.

But naturally he wouldn't tell Huo Yuhao any of this. He revealed the truth about these things to Huo Yuhao not out of kindness, but purely to provoke a conflict between Huo Yuhao and the Sea God Tang San, so that he could reap the benefits.

After all, the one who split Wang Dong'er's soul was her own father, the Sea God Tang San. If Wang Dong'er were to be completely destroyed as a result, it goes without saying who Huo Yuhao's hatred would be directed at.

Huo Yuhao was so shocked that he stood there dumbfounded, his mouth slightly open, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

He simply couldn't accept such a cruel fact. How could a father bear to forcibly separate his own daughter's soul? It was beyond his comprehension.

He felt a strong resistance in his heart and wanted to loudly question every word the meteor said. However, his instinct kept telling him that these words were very likely true.

His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the Valley of Love and Destiny, where the Sea God Tang San had tormented him in every way, and the near-shattered divine consciousness of Ilex all appeared before his eyes.

Thinking of these things, an uncontrollable anger flared up in his heart, spreading wildly like a raging fire.

He finally realized that this was the real reason why Wang Dong'er was in critical condition. It wasn't a terminal illness at all; it was clearly because half of her soul was missing! The reason Wang Dong'er was able to barely maintain her life before was entirely due to the divine consciousness that the Sea God Tang San had left in her body.

During the great battle at Qiankun Wenqing Valley, the Sea God Tang San's divine consciousness shattered and dissipated, and Wang Dong'er fell into a deep sleep afterward. Soon, Huo Yuhao seemed to suddenly realize something, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Since Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er are split souls of the same person, could Wang Dong'er be saved and awakened if they were to merge? In an instant, he felt as if he had grasped the last straw.

At the same time, he finally understood why Niu Tian and Titan had stopped Liu Xing and the others at all costs. It turned out that they wanted to take back Wang Qiu'er. They must have known this secret.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's gaze turned urgently to Wang Qiu'er not far away.

"Don't waste your time. Qiu'er is now a completely independent individual and has no connection with that daughter of the God King anymore." Meteor spoke coldly, shattering the last glimmer of hope in Huo Yuhao's heart.

Huo Yuhao's body jolted violently, as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, but then a resolute look appeared in his eyes.

He suddenly knelt down in front of Liuxing with a thud, his head bowed, his voice filled with endless pleading: "Please, give Dong'er back to me."

"Yuhao!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed in surprise at Huo Yuhao's actions. Liuxing was also stunned. He never expected that Huo Yuhao would do such a thing.

“You’re mistaken. Your Dong’er isn’t here with me. There’s only Wang Qiu’er here. She’s a completely new and independent individual. She can’t merge with Wang Dong’er anymore. Even if they were to force a fusion, given Wang Dong’er and Qiu’er’s current state, Wang Dong’er would only be devoured by Qiu’er and end up completely destroyed.” Meteor slowly shook his head. This time, he wasn’t lying to Huo Yuhao; everything he said was true.

After all, like most things in the world that have been broken, it is not easy to restore them to their original state. Moreover, the other half of Wang Dong'er's soul, Wang Qiu'er, has undergone earth-shattering changes, and it is almost impossible to restore her.

The only way to save Wang Dong'er is to sacrifice Wang Qiu'er, making her willingly offer herself as a sacrifice to Wang Dong'er.

But this is obviously unrealistic. Not to mention that Meteor would never agree, how could Wang Qiu'er, who already has independent consciousness and her own thoughts, willingly sacrifice herself to Wang Dong'er? This is precisely the fundamental reason why Niu Tian and Titan wanted to forcibly take Wang Qiu'er away; they had obviously seen this point as well.

The current situation is so cruel that, without divine intervention, only one of Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er is destined to survive.

Meteor would undoubtedly choose to let Wang Qiu'er live, while the life or death of Wang Dong'er was completely irrelevant to him.

"How could this be..." Huo Yuhao's last hope was completely shattered. He was struck dumb, his face ashen, as if he had lost all life. (End of Chapter)
