Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 3: Transformation and Rebuilding?

Ten thousand years have passed since the Sun-Moon Empire unified the continent and established the Federation.

Over the past ten thousand years, various soul guide technologies in the Douluo Federation have developed rapidly. Some conservative forces have been unable to keep up with the trend of the times and have gradually declined, but some forces have thrived in such an environment and have become increasingly powerful.

Among them is the Soul Transmission Tower, which masters the soul-making technology.

……

Donghai City, Spirit Pagoda.

In the Douluo Federation, Donghai City is also one of the largest cities. The Spirit Pagoda branch here is known as one of the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars and is a landmark building in Donghai City.

Nowadays, many adults and children gather here.

Because today is the annual Awakening Day, the Spirit Masters of the Spirit Pagoda will travel to various places to help children awaken their martial spirits for free.

Some civilian families who live close to the Spirit Pagoda and are unable to awaken their martial spirits will also bring their children to the Spirit Pagoda to awaken their martial spirits.

Outside the dome-shaped awakening room, the staff in charge of registration looked at the little boy standing alone in front of him with some confusion.

"Little boy, where are your parents?"

The little boy with bright eyes calmly took out his ID and replied:
"I don't have any parents. I came here alone today."

The staff was speechless for a moment.

"Ahem, I'm just a little worried seeing you alone. Although the security in Donghai City is very good, it's still possible to get into danger alone."

With an awkward smile, the staff member took the ID from the boy, focused on the name for a moment, and turned to walk towards the awakening room.

"Alright, little Huo Yuhao, come with me. I'll take you to awaken your martial spirit."

"Su Tong did a good job. All the information about me has been erased. Apart from the soul beasts and the White Tiger Duke's family, I'm afraid no one knows my information."

Seeing that the staff saw his name without any surprise, Huo Yuhao felt satisfied. While observing his surroundings, he asked inwardly:
"When I sensed the heavenly tribulation, I thought it was due to some other reason. I didn't expect it to actually transform into a soul beast-like being... Elder Yi, can your undead magic actually do something like this?"

The plan went smoothly. Ten thousand years ago, he used the magic of the dead to come back to life and turned into a rational undead creature. He successfully got rid of his identity as the son of destiny of the continent, gained a long lifespan, and had the ability to survive to this day.

But one thing surprised him.

The undead creature he transformed into was not quite what he had imagined. For some reason, its life form was very similar to that of a soul beast.

Although the long lifespan has not been compromised, one still has to face heavenly calamity. If one wants to restore his human body, he has to transform and rebuild himself.

The latter was nothing in Huo Yuhao's opinion. After all, the term "transformation and cultivation" was only because it was the closest concept.

His situation was too special, and he couldn't produce his own spirit rings, which was far behind the spirit beast's ability to rebuild. If he could make good use of this opportunity, he could actually make up for his shortcomings. After all, ten thousand years ago, he mainly cultivated the Ice Emperor spirit, and his Spirit Eye spirit failed to evolve.

The problem is the calamity.

What he needs to face is not a heavenly tribulation that lasts for hundreds of thousands of years, but a heavenly tribulation that lasts for millions of years!
Huo Yuhao felt numb at that moment.

Without the identity of the child of destiny and without Tang San's attention, it was a good time for him to continue his actions and layout. As a result, the million-year heavenly calamity hovered above his head like the sword of Darkmos, forcing him to choose to seal himself in the undead demiplane and sleep to avoid triggering the heavenly calamity.

For ten thousand years, all he could do was study martial souls, soul guides, and various magical knowledge taught to him by Alex in the Sea of ​​Spirits. He rarely went out to act, wasting a lot of time.

"Hahaha, I never thought that I could see you as a child, Yuhao."

In the sea of ​​spirit, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm laughed with glee.

Elsewhere, after ten thousand years, his consciousness had been completely restored. He frowned and thought for a moment before replying:

"The rules of this continent are extremely strange. Cultivation is a personal matter, but the soul masters of Douluo Continent can use their soul rings to plunder the power of soul beasts to increase their strength. Soul beasts need to face heavenly tribulations to break through their limits. I'm afraid someone deliberately did this."

"I suspect it was the work of a god, or a god far more powerful than me. This caused my undead magic to be affected by the rules of the continent, turning you into a being similar to a soul beast."

"Of course, this also has something to do with the big bug."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's smile faltered, confused as to how he was connected to the matter. Alex continued, "You didn't fully absorb the giant insect's essence. That essence merged with you when you transformed into an undead creature, making you, according to the Heavenly Tribulation, a million-year-old soul beast."

"I see."

Huo Yuhao was thoughtful.

He had not yet reached the stage of becoming a god, so Tian Meng naturally did not release his origin to help him increase the age of all his soul rings. That part of the origin has always been in his body.

The definition of soul beasts in Douluo Continent is very broad.

Animals, plants, and even snow spirits like the Snow Emperor who were born and raised naturally are all classified as soul beasts. It seems that as long as they are not human, they will be classified as soul beasts, and those who are old will have to endure heavenly tribulations.

In the eyes of the heavenly tribulation, is that non-human creature that possesses the soul beast origin of a million years old a human being or a soul beast?

Well, as for the results...it seems that the Heavenly Tribulation is not that intelligent?

If he became an undead creature with the origin of a million-year-old soul beast, then facing a million-year heavenly tribulation would not seem so difficult to accept... What the hell!

Tian Meng was not struck by lightning, but someone else would have to face the heavenly calamity. This is different treatment!

"Brother Tianmeng, according to Old Yi, the heavenly tribulation is mocking you for being unworthy of enduring a million-year thunder tribulation." Huo Yuhao said dimly.

Tianmeng Iceworm: "..."

I see, the heavenly calamity also chooses people. I've never seen anything like this in my life.

Electrolux: "However, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. This also makes the giant insect's essence a part of you. You can completely control it, and as your cultivation recovers, the essence will become your strength. Combined with your sealed cultivation, once you reach the peak again, you will possess a foundation comparable to that of a god."

Unlike ordinary soul beasts that undergo cultivation, Huo Yuhao sealed his cultivation in several souls before re-cultivating. This is why Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea is so empty. Those souls are still sleeping because they have absorbed a large amount of essence.

Huo Yuhao had already reached the pinnacle of Quasi-Godhood ten thousand years ago. With a renewed cultivation, aided by the Heavenly Dream Origin, and the fusion of his two lives' foundations, it would not be impossible for him to possess power comparable to that of a god in his human form.

The communication in the sea of ​​consciousness was extremely fast. After several people communicated, Huo Yuhao was brought into the center of the awakening room by the staff and stood there.

And here, a spiritual master has been waiting for a long time.

"Calm down, I'm about to begin."

After the spirit master reminded Huo Yuhao, he injected the gentle soul power in his hand into the awakening room.

In an instant, the strange patterns on the walls and the ground resonated with the soul power, and the warm soul power began to flow into Huo Yuhao's body along the patterns on the soles of his feet.

Watching Huo Yuhao experience his martial spirit awakening for the second time, Tian Meng put away his depressed mood and felt a little puzzled.

"Yuhao, why did you come to the Spirit Pagoda to awaken your martial soul? You clearly don't need this process."

"Registering as a spirit master at the Spirit Pagoda will gild my identity and save me from all kinds of trouble. After all, I'm no longer a Spirit Ice Douluo, but a small spirit master without the ability to protect myself. I should give up the pride of being a strong person."

Huo Yuhao, who was well versed in spirit awakening, multitasked, coordinating with the spirit master while replying:
"After all, this era is different from the past. I don't want to retreat from the world and practice cultivation anymore. It's better to be safe."

It was easy for Huo Yuhao to get a suitable identity, but managing an identity was not something that could be done overnight.

What's more, the times today are different from those ten thousand years ago. Without a reasonable identity, you can't move forward.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was stunned and remained silent for a while before asking in a low voice:
"Yuhao, do you regret it?"

After enduring for thousands of years, you finally have to rebuild. Do you regret it?
"not regret!"

Huo Yuhao's eyes were bright.

"It's just a chance to start over, why would I regret it? I have you, Brother Tianmeng, and Elder Yi, as well as Bingdi and others to help me. Compared to the soul beasts that have transformed and rebuilt, my conditions are hundreds of times better!"

The most important thing is that in this world, there is no supreme God King!
This is an era where he can let go!
"Huo Yuhao, Martial Soul Eyes, Innate Soul Power Level 10!"
