Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 379 Heading to the Future
The lingering warmth of the setting sun painted half the sky crimson, and the fiery clouds brought a sense of unease from afar. Amidst the surging, sea-like clouds, flocks of birds swam back and forth in the ocean.

The sounds of beasts roaring rose and fell with the evening breeze, drifting towards the sea, occasionally punctuated by painful howls. The air was thick with the smell of burning coals, and in the distance, large plumes of black and white smoke rose, slightly diluting the red glow of the setting sun.

Godzilla is gone, but the fires it ignited continue to burn, spreading through forest after forest.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao's order at the time was to teach a lesson rather than to kill, otherwise there probably wouldn't be a Beast King to organize a large number of soul beasts to put out the fire.

Although they were far apart, almost half a continent away, Huo Yuhao could still clearly sense the situation there thanks to his vast spiritual power.

A large number of soul beasts were mobilized, each displaying their unique abilities. Primarily earth-attribute and water-attribute soul beasts, the fire was visibly brought under control, and it is estimated that it will be completely resolved tonight.

Using the fire as a starting point, Huo Yuhao was able to roughly assess the situation of the soul beasts on this continent. It was probably similar to that of the far north, where the dominant soul beasts held absolute authority and there was virtually no chance of dissent among their superiors.

However, according to the information Godzilla sent back, Godzilla is now the dominant spirit beast on this continent.

Dai Ying and Huo Zhanji have temporarily returned to their own time and space. The next time Dai Ying comes, she will be in the form of the complete God of Arrogance. Huo Zhanji has been targeted by the fully-formed Lao Tang and will be going to Farlan Star to carry out a mission.

Huo Yuhao was unaware of the situation on Star Faran, so he could only leave a mark of the power of the [Dream] on it. Once it encountered a powerful enemy that was difficult to defeat, the rules that transcended time would send a message to Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao could open a time portal to pull the person over.

With the Crown of Time, Huo Yuhao is the authority in the realm of time. Even if Lao San and the God of Time were tied together, they could not surpass Huo Yuhao in this field.

Moreover, Tang San might not even be able to fully understand the Thousand-Year Void Technique of the Old Sea God, and his understanding of the Time Domain might not be as good as that of the Golden Dragon King in his berserk state.

In the desolate canyon, Huo Yuhao loosened his joints, leaving a popping sound in the canyon. The Remnant Dream Blade hovered beside Huo Yuhao, and colorful ribbons were tightly wrapped around Huo Yuhao's wrists.

"Ahem, can you receive it, Yuhao?"

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to leave, Tianmeng's voice rang out in his spiritual sea, and a magic network screen automatically opened in front of Huo Yuhao.

A blond boy wearing a white ice silk hood is stuck on the screen with an "Oo" expression. The background of the boy is an array matrix of countless blue light dots, which is the core of the magic network server.

"Brother Tianmeng, is there any news?"

Huo Yuhao shrugged at the screen.

Tianmeng moved away from the screen, sat up straight, and placed a virtual digital cola beside him. He rubbed his hands together and said with a smile:

"Hehe, didn't I hear from Old Yi that Yuhao, you've made a fortune?"
He said that you from another world gave me a lot of materials unique to the divine realm, as well as technology and knowledge from the future.

Could you give me some? I'm also curious about how far future soul-guided technology will go.

Have they reached a new peak in computing power?

Huo Yuhao waved his hand at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm through the screen as if shooing away a child, and said:

"What the hell?"
The items haven't arrived yet. Even a god-king would need a considerable amount of time to collect so many materials and the knowledge of an entire civilization.

Come back in a month.

"As for computing power, I asked for you. Their timeline went astray in this regard. Soul guidance computing is just an auxiliary tool and may not be as advanced as that of Xilu City."

They mainly rely on human brain calculations, using the spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm of God-level and True God-level experts to make bricks fly.

Forget about it. Their world has a very high level of technology in war-related soul guidance, but their basic knowledge is quite average.

"It's no exaggeration to say that a veteran professor from the Xilu City Research Institute could perfectly catch up with the cutting-edge technology there within a month of going there."

Tianmeng lay sprawled on the table, listlessly saying, "Huh?! That's outrageous?"

"I remember the two timelines are tens of thousands of years apart, right? If the professors in Xilu City can catch up with cutting-edge technology in a month, doesn't that mean they haven't made any progress in basic fields at all?"

"It's like a plant that's only growing side shoots and not a stem! What about apical dominance? We need to save it!"

"Normally, development should involve far more theory than application. Why does it sound like they're prioritizing application over theory?"

Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "That's enough. They're considered tall even in the universe; other civilizations are probably even more outrageous. I'll give you a copy once they send over the technology; you can study it yourself."

We should learn from their strengths and make up for our weaknesses, sticking to our own path, and only using their advanced technologies as a reference.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm roused itself and nodded vigorously, saying:

“It’s packaged!”

"By the way, I actually came to see you about something else. A message came from that child Amon that Qian Renxue's soul has entered the realm of gods through the sea god statue."

Now you should hide within the seat of the sea god, awaiting the filtering of the divine position.

Because the Sea God's family was primarily composed of Amon, under his rule, half of the Douling Empire began to offer faith to the Sea God, with the faith in the Angel God accounting for five percent of the total faith.

"Based on the current timeline, it will take approximately three years to accumulate enough angelic faith within the Sea God's position to serve as the origin point."

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "I understand."

"Three years? That's much faster than I expected."

I thought it would take at least five years for a first-level god to complete the corruption.

Just then, another connection request appeared on the magic network. The user's name was "Karen Domain God," and it was none other than Otto.

Huo Yuhao twitched his finger slightly, connecting the line.

The magic screen split into two parts, and a blond, blue-eyed young man quickly appeared on the second screen, with a confident and composed smile always on his face.

"Boss, it seems I've come at a good time. Is this the server for MagicNet? I've heard so much about you."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm glanced at Otto and said:
"I remember now, you're the guy who tipped the Xilu City Maid Cafe live stream a while ago with one million Dream Coins, and now you've become a legend on the Magic Network."

Otto smiled slightly and said softly, "Didn't you see Kallen appear? You couldn't help yourself and gave away a portion of the Empire's working capital."

"Anyway, it's going through the Sun Moon Empire's accounts, so let's just consider it as buying five boxes of rare metals."

If I don't take bribes, how can Commissioners Xu and his ilk advance their careers?

"Alright, let's get down to business. My dear boss, the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire has decided to crown Crown Prince Xu Tianran in three years, thus completing the succession to the throne."

Therefore, I will, in the name of the Imperial Prime Minister, hold a grand ceremony on that day! I will invite the entire continent to participate!
The grandest moment of the ceremony, the day the Crown Prince is bestowed the title of Emperor, will also be the day the pillars of the empire crumble, and the plot to seize the country will come to a minor conclusion.

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and said:

"Yes, I understand what you mean. I will make sure that Passion and the Spirit Pagoda fully cooperate with your actions. A grand event that wants to attract the attention of the continent definitely needs a highlight."

"...How about immortal herbs? I don't lack them. Or perhaps there will be a large number of special products from the divine realm. I will give you a list, and you can choose whatever you like."

Otto bowed slightly to Huo Yuhao and said:
"Thank you for your generosity."

Huo Yuhao looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm again and said:
"Brother Tianmeng, you've been spending a lot of Dream Coins lately. We should launch more financial products on Magic Bank later."

"The Magic Network Cinema can now be opened on a large scale, and the Magic Network Games section can appropriately launch some mini-games. We need to increase the collection of Dream Coins."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm gave an OK sign and said, "Leave it to me, brother!"

After explaining the follow-up matters, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Otto closed the magic network connection one after the other.

Huo Yuhao stood in the valley, touched the hilt of the Remnant Dream Blade, and said:
"Xiao Meng, let's travel to the future together."
