Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 201 Settling Accounts After the Autumn Harvest and the Visitors from the Stars (4,000 words)

Is Huo Yuhao using the power of faith from Lingbing Douluo and the Spirit Pagoda through his own abilities? After collecting the power of faith for many years, the Spirit Pagoda plans to begin its next step, further investing in this most outstanding successor in history to help him become a god.

After handing over his contact information to Huo Yuhao, the Holy Spirit Douluo was lost in thought.

It wasn't that she had a wild imagination; it was simply that she came to this conclusion after piecing together the information she knew.

The publicity campaign for Huo Yuhao two years ago was the most high-profile event in the history of the Spirit Pagoda, and the Spirit Pagoda must have used the power of faith it had collected over so many years.

However, in the eyes of the Holy Spirit Douluo, using the power of faith to help Soul Masters break through the limits of the God level is the best choice, and also the most likely choice for all Soul Master forces.

Therefore, it is not impossible that a person with unparalleled talent who can utilize the power of faith, or the next successor of the Spirit Pagoda, could be given this power of faith to help them break through to the god level.

As for how the Spirit Pagoda collects the power of faith... that's not important, but the Holy Spirit Douluo has some speculations.

That was most likely left by Spirit Ice Douluo!
After all, Lingbing Douluo accomplished something as advanced as the Soul Spirit Contract, which remains unbroken to this day. He also built the Spirit Pagoda. It wouldn't be surprising if he left behind the technology for collecting faith power.

In this way, the Holy Spirit Douluo arrived at the closest answer to the correct one through a flawed thought process.

The method left behind by Lingbing Douluo to collect faith power is the Spirit Pagoda, which collects faith. The Spirit Pagoda then discovers a junior who can utilize this faith power and prepares to carry out a "god-making" plan.

In the eyes of the Holy Spirit Douluo, this was the most reasonable guess. If Huo Yuhao knew her thought process, he would also admire her—although she was a little less capable than Lan Fuzi, her imagination was still quite impressive.

The Holy Spirit Douluo always wore a gentle smile. "I haven't found a disciple yet. It's rare to see a Soul Master similar to me. I also want to leave some legacy. Don't worry about disturbing me."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was unsure whether it was the other party's true feelings or just politeness, but ultimately did not refuse.

"I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty's high regard."

"You are Welcome."

Having achieved his goal, Holy Spirit Douluo bid farewell with a gentle smile and left.

Gu Yuena frowned slightly as she watched the Holy Spirit Douluo's departing figure. She turned to Huo Yuhao and transmitted her voice, "Yuhao, how much do you think she noticed?"

He specifically mentioned the power of faith and even said he would teach Yuhao... This Holy Spirit Douluo had clearly discovered something.

It's unclear whether the suspicion lies with Yuhao's identity or if there's another reason.

Come to think of it, she hadn't noticed the power of faith in Huo Yuhao before. After all, he was currently in a state of rebuilding, and without mobilizing his previous power, she couldn't easily discover the kind of power that could even help the God Realm.

However, with the reminder from the Holy Spirit Douluo, she used a little of her abilities and saw the power of faith on Huo Yuhao's body, which made her feel somewhat emotional.

Yuhao left behind quite a few methods from ten thousand years ago... It seems rather interesting to uncover Yuhao's secrets little by little like this?
Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly: "The power of faith has many functions. Because of the convenience of her martial soul, she has comprehended some of the rules in advance, but there are still things she doesn't understand. A half-baked understanding may lead to seemingly correct but actually wrong conclusions."

He himself dared not claim to have fully grasped the power of faith. The Holy Spirit Douluo had only used it to enhance his soul power and was far from understanding the power of faith, making it impossible for him to be certain of his guess. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used such a method to test the waters.

As night deepened, the people who participated in the ceremony gradually left, and the representatives from all sides who had come to Huo Yuhao's side and talked with him also left.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to return with Gu Yuena and Xue Di, Ling Zichen walked over and said, "It seems that being the heir isn't so easy."

"You're not here to mock me, are you?" Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"I don't have time for such trivial things. I just came to give you a gift. Don't misunderstand, it's a thank-you gift for saving me and my parents before." Ling Zichen brushed the stray hairs behind her ear and took out a document from her storage ring, handing it to Huo Yuhao.

"No need to be so polite." Huo Yuhao glanced at the documents but put them away. "By the way, do you know what Gu Rachel has been doing at headquarters these past two days?"

"Goo Rachel?"

Ling Zichen was taken aback. "I'm not quite sure about that, but my friends should know."

"Could you please ask her?" Huo Yuhao said with a smile. "I want to know if she has gone to organize the books."

Gu Yuena tilted her head slightly, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Organizing books?

……

As night deepened, the participants in the ceremony gradually left the venue.

Rachel returned to her front door and hesitated whether to go inside.

"Seriously, how could there be so much? How much did those guys actually write back then? The cleanup isn't even finished yet, what are we going to do next? What if that guy finds out..."

Thinking of this, Rachel sighed inwardly and went into the room anyway.

At least for now, Huo Yuhao shouldn't have discovered anything.

The room was pitch black, with only the moonlight streaming in through the window, casting blurry outlines of the furniture.

However, as soon as Gu Rachel stepped into the room, the soul-guided induction lamp immediately turned on, illuminating the room brightly.

"came back?"

Huo Yuhao's voice suddenly rang out, startling Gu Ruiqiu.

Gu Ruiqiu shuddered, and the key in her hand fell to the ground with a "clatter." She hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and in the light, she saw Huo Yuhao coming downstairs.

"You...why aren't you asleep yet?"

Huo Yuhao didn't answer immediately, but stared at her, stroking his chin as he asked, "Am I that scary? You are the little princess of Xingdou. In the past, I taught you with reason and persuasion, but I never hit or scolded you."

"Or is it because you feel guilty?"

"I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I feel guilty?"

Rachel wore a self-righteous expression. "Your sudden appearance just startled me."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, took out a book, looked at the title on it, and read it aloud, "You asked me why I haven't rested yet, right? The reason is related to this book, 'The Untold Story of Ling Bing and Di Tian.' Just by looking at the title, I can guess what it's about."

Rachel Gu widened her beautiful eyes, feeling a little uneasy, but tried to remain calm and said:
Who wrote this book?

"I don't know either. Maybe it was written by someone who had a problem with Di Tian and me. It's quite a bizarre record as an unofficial history."

Huo Yuhao clicked his tongue in amazement, "However, this book is quite old; it must have been written by someone from ten thousand years ago. Who do you think that person is? The first generation of members of the Spirit Pagoda had a high opinion of me, so there was no need for them to write this kind of unofficial history. Not to mention, they even dared to mention Di Tian in it... I can only think of one person."

Rachel looked away. "You think I did it?"

Gu Yuena appeared behind Gu Rachel without her noticing and suddenly spoke up, "Rachel, stop making excuses. We've already heard from others that you've been helping to organize books lately, those historical books from ten thousand years ago. Yuhao and I looked at a few and found a lot of strange unofficial histories about Yuhao... They're related to you, aren't they? Did you write this book too?"

Rachel was startled by the sudden sound and whirled around to see Gu Yuena looking at her, holding another yellowed book in her hand—

The Romantic History of the Founder of the Spirit Pagoda

“Sister Na’er… cough, my lord, how could you also…”

Rachel's voice was noticeably weak, and her eyes darted around.

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. "I'm not surprised you have a problem with me, but I didn't expect you to include Di Tian in that. Is it because Di Tian agreed to let me teach you?"

Gu Yuena flipped through the book in her hands, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper. "Rachel, explain?"

What kind of content is this? There were so many women who were close to Yuhao ten thousand years ago?
It's fake, it's definitely all fake!
Rachel blushed. She wanted to resist for a moment, but seeing the certainty in their expressions, she stammered:
“Well… ten thousand years ago, someone asked for my opinion, saying they wanted to record the history of the Spirit Ice Douluo, so I just casually said a few words, but I really didn’t expect them to end up writing this stuff.” “If you hadn’t embellished it, they wouldn’t have dared to write this mess.”

Gu Yuena looked at the book in her hand... feeling inexplicably irritable.

Upon realizing that this was something Gu Rachel had commissioned to write, her gaze towards the other person took on a scrutinizing quality.

This girl is too knowledgeable about human culture; she's too deeply influenced by it.

Compared to Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao flipped through the pages with great interest, remaining relatively calm.

"The writing is not bad, but the content is too outrageous. I can imagine what kind of expression Di Tian would have if he saw this book, 'The Untold Story of Ling Bing and Di Tian'."

Gu Ruiqiu clearly sensed a threat. Huo Yuhao's words sounded to her like, "You don't want Di Tian to know about this book either, do you?"

"So, what are you trying to do? Those books weren't written by me in the first place; they also contain biographies dictated by your disciple Su Tong and your friends..."

Rachel sighed in despair, "It's too late if you really want to investigate. Most of them are already dead."

Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious, and after a moment of silence, he revealed a faint smile. "The one who wants to pursue this matter is not me, but Na'er."

There's no point in dwelling on what's already happened. But Na'er desperately needs this opportunity.

Gu Yuena exchanged a surprised glance with Huo Yuhao, and then heard Huo Yuhao's telepathic message.

"It's a rare opportunity to teach her a lesson. Just think of the smug look on her face when she called you 'sister.' This is a great chance to make her behave herself in the future," Huo Yuhao said with a sly smile.

Gu Yuena blinked, then looked at Gu Rachel with the same kind smile, "Yes, I'm the one who wants to pursue this. Both Yuhao and Ditian have done it. In the future, when you're dissatisfied with me, are you going to write me into your book?"

The spirits in the Sea of ​​Spirits, witnessing this scene, let out a sigh.

These two... are starting to look more and more alike.

Rachel: "My lord, how could this be? I absolutely wouldn't dare! Besides, these are all things from the past..."

"Sister Na'er".

Gu Yuena uttered the title softly, "If you can even utter these four words, what else wouldn't you dare to do?"

"That was to help you conceal your identity..."

Seeing Gu Yuena's expression grow colder, Gu Rachel stopped speaking, remained silent for a moment, and then forced a dry laugh, "I still need to prepare for tomorrow's ceremony, so I'll go rest first... My lord, no!!!"

Rachel's strange screams echoed from inside the house.

As it turns out, the older sister's suppression of the younger sister was a result of Gu Yuena's indulgence; in terms of actual status, Gu Yuena was still higher.

Huo Yuhao watched their playful banter, shook his head with a smile, and put away his books.

Although the contents are questionable, these books are "relics" left by our companions from ten thousand years ago, so let's preserve them.

……

The Lingbing Grand Ceremony continued to be lively on the second and third days, with more and more people gathering in Mingdu.

Huo Yuhao, as a candidate for Spirit Transmission Envoy and the next Spirit Transmission Envoy, was once again forced to perform, contributing a wonderful exhibition match to the celebration and setting the stage for the Soul Contract event and the final worship ceremony.

On the fifth floor of the Spirit Pagoda, Xiong Jun looked at the last soul to make a choice in the plaza and then reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

The contract event was much more interesting. The Spirit Pagoda even brought out some ten-thousand-year-old soul spirits for this event, and the soul masters from various forces used all their skills to gain the recognition of these soul spirits.

It demonstrates its strength.

Some promised them to be their ancestors.

There are also those who use various rare treasures as bait.

The square was bustling with activity, filled with cheers and exclamations of surprise.

Every time Xiong Jun sees them, he can't help but sigh to himself—they didn't know how to manage themselves before, look how popular they are now?
"Next is the worship ceremony that everyone will participate in. Aren't you going?"

Xiong Jun looked at Huo Yuhao, who was using the Soul Guiding Light Screen.

On the evening of the third day, a statue of the Spirit Ice Douluo will be erected in the square, and the arriving spirits, humans, and spirit beasts will perform a final worship ceremony as the closing ceremony.

"Before I go, there's something I need to tell you. I need your help in researching the Heavenly Tribulation."

Huo Yuhao put away the Soul Guiding Light Screen, looked in Xiong Jun's direction, and smiled.

Xiong Jun was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

“I believe that the Heavenly Tribulation can be avoided, but to study the underlying principles, we need a Soul Beast as an assistant. And after careful consideration, it seems that only you are the most suitable.”

Huo Yuhao looked at Xiong Jun's gradually darkening face and said gently, "You are a Saint Craftsman, and researching the methods of Divine Craftsmen will attract Heavenly Tribulation. But you have just crossed the threshold of 500,000 years and are still far from the next great Heavenly Tribulation of 600,000 years. You can definitely get through it and are the best assistant. Di Tian is not like that. He is not very confident in getting through the tribulation."

"You mean, you want me to practice Heavenly Forging and willingly get struck by lightning?"

Xiong Jun stared intently at Huo Yuhao, his heart pounding with fear.

Is revenge really necessary, brother?
Huo Yuhao smiled and stood up, walking towards the plaza below. "Na'er has already agreed, so just accept your fate. Don't worry, unlike Mr. Zhenhua, I will give you a long rest period."

This is just official business; how could it be retaliation?

Xiong Jun stood there, his bear face twitching, and after a long while he finally managed to choke out, "...Huo Yuhao, you're ruthless!"

He took a deep breath and followed after them, gritting his teeth.

No, I need to talk to the Lord later. He shed blood and did his best for the Stars, we can't treat him like this, Old Bear!

If we really want him to participate in the research... we should at least invite Brigitte!

When the two arrived at the plaza, the worship ceremony was already prepared. A huge statue of the Spirit Ice Douluo stood in the center, surrounded by spirit beasts, spirits, and human spirit masters, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

Qian Gu Dongfeng stood before the statue, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, his deep voice resounding throughout the hall: "Today, we gather here to pay homage to Lingbing Douluo and to commemorate his contributions to peace between soul beasts and humans."

Roar!
As soon as he finished speaking, the soul beasts and spirits around the square roared in response, their voices deep and solemn.

Qian Gu Dongfeng was the first to bow in salute, his hands clasped in front of his chest, his voice deep and powerful:
"Lingbing Douluo above, we, your descendants, are grateful for your immortal contributions to the peace of the continent. May your will endure forever, protecting the peace of soul masters and soul beasts for generations to come."

As his words fell, the Soul Masters in the square bowed in unison, and the Soul Beasts also lowered their heads, emitting low whimpers to express their deepest respect. The high-level Soul Spirit hovered in mid-air, its soft light scattering down, reflecting the icy blue radiance flowing from the statue, as if a divine miracle had descended.

……

Time flies, and five months have passed since the Spirit Ice Ceremony. On the surface, the situation on the continent remains calm, but under such circumstances, Tianhai City welcomes a group of special guests.

A light morning mist shrouded the harbor of Tianhai City, casting a hazy gray-blue hue over everything. The sea breeze, carrying a salty, fishy smell, swept across the dock, fluttering the flags of the moored ships and dispersing some of the mist, revealing a massive black warship slowly approaching on the horizon.

Standing on the port, the official members of Tianhai City had solemn expressions.

"So they've finally arrived? The Star Luo Federation's delegation."

Just two months ago, the Star Luo Federation suddenly submitted an application to the Federation for an exchange mission, which the Federation accepted. Now, after two months of sea voyage, the Star Luo Federation's "guests" have finally arrived at their former homeland—Douluo Continent!
