Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 187 The Baring-Toothed Puppy
After meeting with Di Tian, ​​Huo Yuhao and his group finally arrived at the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Huo Yuhao didn't rush in, not because he was afraid of the ferocious beasts, but because he felt it was better to be cautious until he was truly sure of the danger.

"I'll leave the rest to you, Di Tian."

Both Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao stopped outside the Lake of Life, waiting for Di Tian to settle the basic situation with the Emperor Beast.

Huo Yuhao only needs to observe from the shadows, and then he can use the echo of [Fate] to test the waters.

If the Golden Dragon Spear is indeed that scoundrel's backup plan, and contains divine consciousness or something else, it will definitely be detrimental to me. His fate will be affected, telling me whether to show myself or stay away immediately.

Just like when he first met Wang Dong, the echo of [fate] allowed him to perceive all the trajectories of fate related to himself, enabling him to make the most advantageous choice.

"it is good."

Because it had been planned in advance, Di Tian returned to the Lake of Life without much hesitation.

Strangely, the imperial auspicious beast was in high spirits at this moment, looking at the sky with its eyes, like a philosopher, seemingly deep in thought.

Although Di Tian was somewhat puzzled, he didn't say much. After all, ever since that spear appeared, the auspicious beast's behavior had been very abnormal. Otherwise, his master and Huo Yuhao wouldn't have needed to come forward and observe it secretly.

Moreover, after spending so many years together, the auspicious beast's personality has indeed changed quite a bit during this time.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he actually knew everything about the little princess pretending to be asleep after he returned and secretly observing him, but he just didn't say anything.

Hopefully, it's not a scheme by the gods of the divine realm. Otherwise, even auspicious beasts can't affect the great plan for the revival of the soul beasts.

The safety of our lord and the future of the soul beasts must not be compromised in any way.

"Child, come out with me."

A hint of surprise appeared in the auspicious beast's eyes. Finally, the Beast God was going to tell it the answer. Should it make a request, such as expanding its territory or asking to visit the human world?
"Oh."

The auspicious beast hopped and skipped behind Di Tian, ​​and then the two of them did something, especially the latter, who led the auspicious beast around aimlessly, deliberately making it easier for their master and Huo Yuhao to observe them from the shadows.

secretly.

Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao, who had been hiding themselves and observing the auspicious beast's behavior, frowned in unison and exchanged a glance.

Gu Yuena spoke first.

"The soul seems a bit off. Apart from that, the auspicious beast's fortune has indeed changed. As for the rest, I haven't found anything wrong."

"Moreover, that divine weapon is indeed the Golden Dragon Spear. Although some divine aura remains within it, there is no sealed divine consciousness."

Huo Yuhao nodded. The unique echo of [Destiny] was reverberating at this moment, but he did not notice anything unfavorable to him.

Compared to this, compared to the danger, it seems that all these changes are actually to his advantage.

But this is very strange.

His biggest worry was that the scoundrel would use underhanded methods, just like in the original storyline, to place his divine consciousness into the Golden Dragon Spear, or to have his daughter's other soul substitute for the auspicious beast's consciousness.

However, it seems that the auspicious beast's soul has indeed changed somewhat, but there is no divine consciousness seal, nor is there a situation where the soul of that stitched-together monster has taken over its main thoughts.

What was the purpose of that scoundrel doing all this?
Simply sending one's daughter's other soul to the mortal realm without leaving any divine consciousness to protect it doesn't make sense. Or perhaps the divine consciousness was originally sealed, but something unexpected happened during the process.

Considering the little scoundrel's personality and the remaining divine consciousness within the Golden Dragon Spear, Huo Yuhao leans more towards the latter guess. If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the little scoundrel's secret actions were discovered by the God Realm, which is why he couldn't send his divine consciousness down to the mortal realm, leading to the unexpected incident in the process?

Another possibility is that the consciousness of Douluo Star intervened when the Golden Dragon Spear appeared, clearing the divine consciousness seal within it. He couldn't think of any other explanation.

It can't be that some lowly scoundrel had a change of heart and decided to grant him the favor of the chosen one; that clearly doesn't make sense, and that person couldn't possibly have such a pure heart. "There's indeed no problem, but we still need to conduct a more direct examination. His soul has definitely changed, but we don't know what the change is."

Now that we've confirmed that divine consciousness doesn't exist, the rest is simple.

Let Gu Yuena come into contact with the Imperial Beast and thoroughly explore its soul to determine if there are any additional memories. Then everything will be solved.

After saying that, the two stopped concealing their auras and appeared in front of Di Tian and the Imperial Beast.

Di Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the current situation, the auspicious beast should be alright.

Otherwise, they would have eliminated the auspicious beast the moment their master appeared.

Compared to Di Tian, ​​the Imperial Beast was nervous. She had finally met the being whom the Beast God had previously referred to as "Master," but a human had appeared beside him.

Moreover, Di Tian and this lord are doing absolutely nothing. What exactly is going on?

Huo Yuhao looked at the auspicious beast in front of him, which resembled a golden Tibetan mastiff and bared its teeth, and felt a headache coming on.

"Take a look at her soul and see if there are any other memories mixed in."

If the speculation is true, then the Emperor Beast's soul should currently be partially fused with that Frankenstein's monster. Although it may not necessarily take over the main consciousness, it's still better to be cautious.

"Okay." They got right to it.

Like picking up a small dog, Gu Yuena held the three-eyed golden lion. She had many methods, and she directly used her divine power to search the soul of this baring-toothed dog.

Although the Imperial Beast wanted to resist, she really didn't have any strength, you know? The arrogance she used to have when bullying those ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts was completely gone. In front of this master mentioned by the Beast God, she only felt like she was being crushed by a mountain, and she couldn't muster the slightest thought of resistance.

Tired, let it all end. The Beast God remained unmoved. Could it be that my previous premonition of fate was correct, and the change in the trajectory of destiny represented this very moment?

"Woooooo~"

The Imperial Beast sensed something new within her soul, a feeling that filled her with panic, unease, and fear.

It immediately looked like a wronged puppy and almost burst into tears.

Huo Yuhao found it noisy and remembered how his teacher Kong Deming pinched the mouth of the Poison Immortal. He imitated it and directly pinched the mouth of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Amid the aggrieved whimpering, he put his index finger in front of its mouth.

"Shut up, it's for your own good, you know!"

Well, at this moment, the Imperial Beast felt that the two people in front of it were more frightening than the other. One was a being that even the Beast God had to call his master, and the other was a human who was subtly taking the initiative in front of that master. What kind of heavenly wrath and beastly resentment had she committed?
Moreover, this is the first time in my life I've been so offended. Someone actually dared to pinch my mouth shut. How dare they be so brazen, you bastard!

After the Imperial Beast thrashed about for a while, Gu Yuena completed her full investigation of its soul.

He looked at Huo Yuhao with a serious expression.

"There is a memory belonging to the realm of gods, but it is very obscure and seems to have been sealed away. It is now hidden deep in the memory of the auspicious beast."

"I cannot remove it, otherwise it would harm the very essence of the auspicious beast's soul."

what!
Even the most foolish of beasts could sense something was amiss. Their intuition was right; a new consciousness had indeed entered their soul.

That means that all the actions of this master, this human, and the beast god were all in an effort to help him eliminate all of this.

She knew it! How could the Beast God possibly harm her child? It was that spear! Someone—no, a god—was plotting against her.
