Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 152 Storage Location of God-Slaying Soul-Guided Cannonballs
Huo Yuhao was taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head and chuckled, "Ten thousand years have passed, and you've certainly learned some polite words. The Spirit Pagoda has been able to continue to this day thanks to the perseverance of generation after generation. I dare not presume to claim such credit..."

Before he could finish speaking, Di Tian raised his hand to stop him.

"To pave a path and to continue a path are two different things; you don't need to be modest."

His voice was deep and powerful, exceptionally clear in the quiet night: "You deserve much credit for the fact that the stars have survived to this day."

After saying this, the Beast God who once dominated the continent solemnly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Huo Yuhao.

The moonlight cast a silvery glow on his tall figure, and his black robe fluttered in the night wind.

Huo Yuhao instinctively tried to sidestep, but found that the space around him had frozen. Di Tian's salute contained spatial power, leaving him no way to avoid it.

"You deserve this salute."

Huo Yuhao could only stand still and accept the bow. The night wind swirled fallen leaves between the two of them.

"Why are you doing this..."

Di Tian straightened up. "I only seek a clear understanding of one thought."

Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly, no longer discussing the matter. "You came here today for more than just this, didn't you?"

"..."

Di Tian glanced at the mansion behind him and fell silent for a moment.

How could he possibly say that the Lord had any reservations about inviting men home?
“If the lord didn’t favor you, I might have already taken action. Given the relationship between the lord and me, she would at most punish me for a period of time. But it’s you…”

When he first learned from Brigitte that his lord seemed to have someone else in his heart, he was in a bad mood and even had murderous intent.

His Majesty's personality is too naive; it's hard to say he hasn't been deceived. He's seen countless sweet words and feigned affections in the human world over the past millennia.

The Lord is a deity, and an ordinary human is not worthy of her affection. The vast difference in their status and strength destined her to be the one who gives. What can the other party offer her?
Is it a continuation of the Star Constellation? An increase in strength? Or... simply pain?

In Di Tian's view, if they can't even stand side by side, then there's no point in talking about anything else.

The worst thing you can do in this kind of situation is to be indecisive; the longer you drag it out, the more trouble you'll cause. On the contrary, if you nip the problem in the bud, or even at its source, once the master has calmed down, he won't be too harsh on you.

But after learning it was Huo Yuhao, he became conflicted.

“I won’t comment much on your relationship with the Lord. In a sense, among all the human beings, you are the only one whose conditions are equal to hers and whose existence is acceptable to the stars. At least, she did not give alone, so I only hope that you will treat her well.”

Di Tian's voice was somewhat cold, "If it is... humph, I don't care whether you are a god or not."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Huo Yuhao had a strange feeling of seeing an "old father" in him. He didn't say anything nice, but just nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Di Tian's expression softened again. After a moment of silence, he asked about the matter that concerned him most: "What information did you get from that evil soul master? I also heard what she said, 'The Holy Spirit has a god?'"

Huo Yuhao glanced at the sky. "You should know where she came from. However, the information she has is incomplete, and it is still unclear what level of deity she is. I can only confirm that it is a divine consciousness of a level three god or higher."

If things had continued as they were, there would have been no rivals who could surpass a second-level god in this era.

The Abyss Saint King is said to be a first-level god, but he descended through the body of the Demon Emperor, not fighting on the Abyss's homeland. On Douluo Continent, he could only exert the strength of a second-level god; otherwise, he wouldn't have been immobilized by the Unstable Storm and then killed by Tang Hao, a second-level god. In the final battle, Gu Yuena's strength hadn't fully recovered; she was assessed as comparable to the descended Abyss Saint King, meaning a second-level god, and hadn't returned to the level of a first-level god.

Moreover, he has basically figured it out over the years. Gu Yuena is currently in a state similar to rebuilding her strength. Forcibly restoring her strength, not to mention the cost and duration, is also a question of whether she can return to the god level.

Di Tian frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Their goal is a god-slaying soul-guided cannonball?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Although that evil soul master was unaware of this mission, since there are god-level beings within the organization, their mission must include this aspect."

It's not that I want to do anything with the God-Slaying Soul Guidance Shell, but rather the threat posed by the God-Slaying Soul Guidance Shell itself.

Of the three god-slaying soul-guided cannonballs, leaving aside the two weaker ones for now, the strongest, the Eternal Heaven, is powerful enough to kill a level three god and injure a level two god. It is a highly deterrent weapon, and given the presence of a god-level being within its ranks, it is only natural to regard this threat as a target for elimination.

"...The storage location for the three God-Slaying Soul-Guided Cannon Shells is managed by three people."

After a moment's thought, Di Tian told Huo Yuhao a piece of information: "The Hall Master of Mingde Hall, the Hall Master of War God Hall, and the Minister of the Dark Department will each be responsible for one."

"The Temple of War Gods..."

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly. "There's something I need to remind you. The Hall Master of the War God Temple, Han Hai Douluo Chen Xinjie, is from the Sea God Island lineage that once protected the inheritance of the Sea God's position."

Di Tian was somewhat surprised, then his expression darkened. "He's from the Sea God's lineage?"

The information about the Sea God was already known to them two years ago. They killed the Golden Dragon King and sealed his divine core in someone else's body, making them irreconcilable enemies.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.

When Tang San pulled out the Trident of the Sea God, the mission of Sea God Island had ended. However, the lineage of the Sea God did not die out; it simply went into hiding temporarily, quietly doing its work. It did not participate in the great war between the Sun Moon Empire and the Douluo Three Kingdoms ten thousand years ago.

Few people knew the specifics of Poseidon Island even 20,000 years ago, and now it has long been lost to the dust of history.

People only know Chen Xinjie, the Sea God Douluo, but they don't know that he is also the Sea God Douluo and possesses a divine artifact personally crafted by Tang San.

Di Tian frowned and said, "The Temple of War God originated from the Hall of Worship of the Sun and Moon Empire. The Temple Master is a high-ranking member of the Federation, on par with the Hall Master of the Hall of Bright Virtue."

"Moreover, his strength is enough to compete for the number one spot among the Limit Douluo in the Federation. He once fought Yun Ming and ultimately admitted defeat. It was that battle that gave the Spirit Pagoda the opportunity to place the title of the number one person on the continent on Yun Ming. But in my opinion, his strength and Yun Ming's strength should be about the same. He is probably just being modest."

"Furthermore, he's not from Shrek Academy, and he supports going to war with Star Luo and Heaven Dou, making him a representative of the hawks. His opinions are contrary to those of the Shrek Academy members, so the hawks trust him a lot. Chen Xinjie now holds a high position in the Federation, being one of the Federation's vice speakers... I never expected him to be from the Sea God lineage."

Di Tian truly hadn't expected that the War God Temple Master was from the Sea God Island lineage.
Shouldn't you be closer to Shrek Academy? You have conflicts with Shrek Academy on various issues, yet you're closer to the Sea God than to Shrek Academy?
Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Not surprising."

After all, judging from Chen Xinjie's early actions, he was definitely a representative of the Federation's hawks, always planning to attack Xingluo and Tiandou Continent. Like the Spirit Pagoda, he seemed like the "villain" that the protagonist group would have to face.

The results were reversed several times.

The sudden appearance of the love story between the Light and Dark Douluo Long Yeyue, and the fact that he brought most of the members of the War God Temple to join Shrek Academy.

The Helmet of Poseidon that was taken out during the final battle against the Abyss...

It's crazy.

It turns out that the four major powers of the Federation in the original story—the Temple of War, Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and Spirit Pagoda—all share the same origin. There isn't a single one that truly belongs to the Federation. It's truly tragic...
