Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 180 A Dazzling Arrival (4,000 words)
Gu Yuena glanced at Huo Yuhao, "Following your suggestion, Yuhao, I set up a small spacetime array to comprehend it, and I've already gained some understanding... but not much."

Her previous idea was indeed correct; her abilities needed to be developed by Yuhao… cough, she herself was also working hard.

However, Yuhao always manages to find some ingenious angles that allow her to discover blind spots she had never noticed before.

Although her memories of the Dragon God are incomplete—after all, her divine consciousness was shattered once when she left the God Realm—she still retained some of her essence.

The spacetime magic array comes from the Dragon God's memories.

Although she could use it, she had never thought of using it as a breakthrough point to comprehend the laws of time.

Of course, there's no time for that.

After all, she was either healing or on her way to healing.

"As long as you have it."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised his right hand and slowly placed his index finger on Gu Yuena's brow. "Now you should be able to comprehend it."

Gu Yuena blinked and accepted Huo Yuhao's instruction.

In an instant, a gentle spiritual force enveloped her consciousness.

At that moment, Gu Yuena suddenly felt a lightness in her hand. She looked down and saw that her palm was becoming transparent, as if it were about to merge into the surrounding light and mist. A strange sense of emptiness enveloped her entire body; it was not pain, but a transcendent feeling beyond the material world.

A hazy glimmer of light flowed through the void, each ray of light seemingly carrying a forgotten era, an independent space-time.

Suddenly, ethereal ripples spread silently, even causing dimensions beyond the frame to tremble. Gu Yuena's figure gradually faded into the river of time, without pain, without the piercing coldness of a blade, only the gentle caress of time, like a veil, brushing past her existence, leading her into eternal rest...

This is a divine skill... no, it also includes Yuhao's own understanding of time?
A sweet feeling welled up in Gu Yuena's heart, but she quickly fell into a profound state of enlightenment. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes sparkled with a starry-sky-like understanding.

After Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena had been contemplating for a while, they said:
"The Douluo Continent we are in now is a physical plane, which is based on the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire. Light, darkness, and space were born on this basis, but time is different from them. You have a deeper understanding of the other elements than I do, so you should be able to understand the differences better now."

Gu Yuena opened her eyes and nodded gently.

"The physical plane, earth, wind, water, and fire are the basic elements that construct the entire world. Mastering them all means creation, a kind of sublimation. Light, darkness, and space are derived from the four basic elements, but the changes involved are difficult to understand and utilize. Most gods cannot comprehend the key to them, and I have not fully grasped it either."

She could already reign supreme in the realm of elements, but she was still unable to derive space, darkness, and light from the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire. She could only comprehend these three elements individually and then use the power of space to balance darkness and light, thus creating the Light and Dark Divine Thunder.

How the four basic elements evolved into those higher elements is the most fundamental and core principle that constitutes the world. If a god could truly understand the key to this, he might comprehend the true meaning of creation.

Thinking it over, Gu Yuena continued:

"But for living beings, the law of time differs from other attributes in some ways; it is..."

"A derivative of mental power!"

Gu Yuena said something that left Gu Rachel confused.

Is the law of time a derivative of spiritual power?
This was the first time she had ever heard of it.

She could no longer understand what the master and Huo Yuhao were saying... well, she hadn't understood much from the beginning.

Gu Ruiqiu glanced helplessly at Xue Di, seeing that the other party was listening quietly to the two "big shots" discussing the Dao, and seemed to understand, which left her speechless.

This feeling that she's the only one who can't do it... it's awful.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly when he saw that Gu Yuena had revealed the core idea.

Time can be objective or subjective, but understanding its laws is always subjective; your understanding will depend on how you perceive the world. Moreover, for the strong, only time that they perceive and control has meaning.

What is subjective time?
It is the measure of memory, the extension of consciousness. Only when it is perceived does time truly exist.

This also means that the mysteries of time are always inseparable from spiritual power, because it is the living being's own perception and rewriting of time.

The relationship between the Evil Emperor's Light of Time and Space and his spiritual power is self-evident.

The Sea God's "White Clouds Through a Thousand Years" technique, if used by someone with insufficient cultivation, would make the enemy feel as if they have lived through a thousand years on a spiritual level, causing their mind to collapse. Moreover, one must be at the Spirit Realm level to gradually unleash its power, and only at the God level can one truly achieve a thousand years in an instant.

Besides them, there is Tang Wulin's spiritual domain—the Time Reversal Domain, and the Little Dragon God's spiritual domain—the Time Freeze Domain.

These mysteries of the time realm all rely on powerful spiritual energy.

The so-called passage of time, for the strong in this world, is the consciousness of living beings measuring the changes in the world. In essence, it is the interference and redefinition of reality by their respective spiritual will.

"Many powerful individuals at the limit level have mastered the power of space, but those who have mastered the power of time are extremely rare."

After Xue Di and the other two finished their conversation, she smiled at Huo Yuhao and said, "Here, you are probably the one with the deepest understanding of the laws of time."

The law of time is a derivative of spiritual power, and it was Huo Yuhao who told her this when he was guiding her. Many powerful people don't even know this, so how can they further comprehend it?
Huo Yuhao shook his head. "It's nothing. I also benefited from this opportunity. If it weren't for the Evil Emperor, I might not have had this chance."

The Evil Emperor of the Sea of ​​Spirituality smiled slightly and nodded secretly.

How many of the ferocious beasts in Douluo Continent have comprehended the mysteries of time?
Even the Emperor Tian wouldn't do that!
“Yes, yes, you’re all very capable,” Rachel complained from the side. “I’m the only one who doesn’t understand. Aren’t you trying to make things difficult for me?”

"If you don't understand now, then you'd better memorize it well," Gu Yuena glanced at him, "You'll definitely need it later."

Gu Rachel felt a chill run down her spine from that one look.

Oh no, the master has probably remembered our grudge from just now.

Letting out a breath, Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao, remained silent for a moment, and asked, "Yuhao, do you hope that I can comprehend the Law of Time before reaching the Spirit Realm?"

"Yes, we are in a state of rebuilding. The reconstruction of the spiritual domain in the Spirit Realm is a good opportunity. By integrating your understanding of the laws of time into it, you can become stronger. After all, spiritual power is also a field you are good at."

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your foundation is far stronger than ours. I can still find a way to help Xue'er, but for you, most of the time you can only rely on your own comprehension."

“You’ve already given me so much.” Gu Yuena shook her head. “Later, when we practice the spacetime array, I will teach you… and that should give you a deeper understanding of the laws of time.”

Yuhao has already given her so much: divine artifacts, divine skills, and techniques for using mental power. She had never imagined that a human could help her.

Huo Yuhao and Xue Di exchanged a glance and finally nodded in unison.

"Honestly, all you guys ever talk about is business. I'm going to cook, we can talk after we eat."

Rachel rolled her eyes and, unable to bear it any longer, headed to the kitchen.

Compared to them, her foundation was too shallow. Gu Yuena glanced at her, but didn't pay her any attention, and said to Huo Yuhao, who also got up to go to the kitchen:
"Yuhao, what are your thoughts on the tribulation to become a god? Under the suppression of the plane, we do not have a godhood, and forcibly ascending to godhood will inevitably result in a tribulation of lightning."

Besides the foundation, she also wanted to help Huo Yuhao prepare for his final leap in advance.

Generally speaking, without the protection of the divine realm and divine positions, achieving the level 100 True God inevitably attracts a tribulation of lightning. This is both a calamity and an opportunity. If one overcomes it, the world opens up before them, and their true form is reshaped; if they fail, they will die.

Most of the tribulations leading to godhood are elemental tribulations or tribulations of heaven and earth... As for cosmic tribulations, they are not within Gu Yuena's consideration.

As the name suggests, the Heavenly Tribulation and the Elemental Tribulation beneath it are naturally descended from the plane where the ascended god resides. Their power... is directly proportional to the strength of the god.

Compared to planes capable of accommodating god-level beings, the energy of heaven and earth in the Douluo Continent is relatively thin, and the power of the tribulation lightning should be greatly weakened. However, the laws of this plane itself exert a strong suppression on the birth of god-level beings. Any powerful individual who attempts to forcibly break through the shackles will trigger the final countermeasure of the plane's will, punishing the ascension to godhood in the form of a tribulation of godhood.

That was no ordinary tribulation lightning; it was the final blow of dimensional suppression, the ultimate judgment of the Douluo Continent upon the "rebels." It was not merely a bombardment of energy, but a divine punishment lightning formed by the wrath and rejection of the dimensional will.

If someone were to forcibly attempt to reach godhood under such circumstances, the power of the tribulation to become a god would not be weakened by the lack of energy; on the contrary, it would become even more terrifying due to the full suppression of the laws of the plane, causing the person undergoing the tribulation to suffer blows far exceeding those of a normal godhood tribulation.

It will be difficult to get through this smoothly...

However, some super artifacts have the effect of shielding the heavens from the celestial secrets, allowing users to be unaffected by the lightning tribulation.

Huo Yuhao's mysterious artifact should be able to help him.

If all else fails, she'll come up with a solution.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena was struck by a seven-colored lightning tribulation when she temporarily ascended to godhood. The seven-alloy heaven forging will also face a seven-colored lightning tribulation, but the intensity of the lightning tribulation faced by metal gods and living beings gods is different... For Gu Yuena, who was still pretending to be a "newbie" at that time, that must have been the most serious injury she suffered when fighting against the Abyss Army and the Holy Spirit Cult.
They didn't suffer much damage fighting external enemies, but ended up getting hurt by their own plane of existence... That's absurd.

Under Gu Yuena's strange gaze, Huo Yuhao touched her hair:

"Then I'll be just like you, match him, and then surpass him!"

The tribulation to become an emperor—the tribulation to become a god—is getting stronger and stronger, and he has quite a few buffs on his side.

Gu Yuena was slightly taken aback. Before she could react, Huo Yuhao had already walked towards the kitchen.

Xue Di also got up and followed.

"Let me help you."

"it is good."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded.

Gu Yuena snapped back to reality: "..."

Wait, can Xue Di cook?

Looking at the three people in the kitchen, she vaguely understood how Rachel had felt before... It wasn't good to be the only one who wasn't good at something; she should learn how to do it later.

Xue Di handed the plate to Huo Yuhao and said with a soft smile, "Speaking of which, the time you set for going to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was just right. After you come back from there, it will be the Spirit Ice Ceremony."

The Grand Ceremony of Spirit Ice...

That was a festival proposed by Su Tong, the tower master at the time, a hundred years after the establishment of the Spirit Pagoda, to commemorate Spirit Ice Douluo.

As the next successor of the Spirit Transmission... Huo Yuhao will definitely have to pay homage to the Spirit Ice Douluo. Even with Xue Di's personality, she couldn't help but chuckle when she thought about it.

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched, but he still calmly said, "This is the best time. Even if Shrek Academy discovers something unusual, they won't act immediately."

Rachel glanced at him and muttered to herself.

This guy is still the same as before, incredibly ruthless.

Just as he said, who would dare to cause trouble at the Spirit Ice Ceremony of the Spirit Pagoda?
Unless the other party wants to become the "second Ultimate Evil Soul Master," he's making Shrek Academy swallow their pride and suffer in silence.

……

"Is this the Ming Capital?"

A young man stepped out of the Soul Guidance Train, looked at the "technological city" in front of him, and said with a touch of emotion, "It's very different from Shrek City."

The boy had a pair of very unique eyes, with a dazzling gold color in the pupils and a deep dark gold color in the center. He exuded a mysterious and noble aura, as if he were surrounded by light.

"Stop reminiscing, the teacher has arrived, let's hurry to the hotel."

Upon hearing this, the boy glanced at the aloof girl walking past him and pursed his lips, "So cold, don't forget who the captain is."

"Then... Captain Le Zhengyu, do you have any advice for me?" Ye Xinglan glanced at him.

(Note: The Le family has no connection to Ye Guyi. In the original novel, Ye Guyi was a member of the Tang Clan, and her descendants are likely also members of the Tang Clan. However, the Le family in Douluo Continent III has no connection to the Tang Clan.)
(Furthermore, in the original novel, Yue Zhengyu mentioned that his clan is descended from the lineage of the Spirit Hall Master, and they have a family precept and a feud with the Star Luo Empire. Ye Guyi from Douluo Continent II even helped the Star Luo Empire fight against the Sun Moon Empire, so it seems she didn't have this family precept. If she had descendants, she wouldn't have passed down such a family precept.)
Le Zhengyu shrugged. "I don't have any instructions, I just hope you'll follow orders. After all, I heard that you two years ago..."

"That's enough!" Ye Xinglan took a deep breath and strode away. "I understand."

"Sister Xinglan." Xu Lizhi hurriedly followed.

"These two from the inner courtyard, don't cause me any trouble."

Le Zhengyu raised an eyebrow, muttered something to himself, and led his other classmates toward the city.

Because of what happened two years ago, Ye Xinglan was assigned to the School of Foreign Languages. Xu Lizhi also applied to go there, but they were too young, so they were ultimately assigned to their year.

Both of them were participants in this final exam and the exchange competition between Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, with Le Zhengyu serving as the team leader.

However, according to Le Zhengyu's own opinion, he shouldn't have been the team leader in the first place.

Although he was an outer court student, he did not study there for long. If it weren't for his family's requirements, he should have entered the inner court directly.

Not long after he was admitted to Shrek Academy, he went into seclusion with his family and only emerged after his martial soul had fully awakened, which took a very long time.

However, this exchange competition was decided not long after the start of the semester, and he was on the list at that time. Because of the legendary soul spirit, it didn't take him long to fully awaken his martial soul, so he was able to participate.
