Deep in the clouds, at the Haotian Sect, the statue of the Sea God stands atop Haotian Fortress, appearing tall and majestic.
Just then, the statue of the sea god suddenly shone with a bright blue light, forming a pillar of light in front of it. From within the pillar of light, two figures emerged, namely Niu Tian and Titan, who had returned from the realm of the gods.
As soon as he stepped out of the pillar of light, Titan looked at Niu Tian, especially at the ball of light in Niu Tian's hand that was emitting soul fluctuations.
"Big brother-"
“Let’s arrange the affairs within the Haotian Sect first, and then go find Wu Tong,” Niu Tian slowly shook his head, interrupting Titan.
"Yes," Titan replied in a muffled voice.
The two arrived at the Haotian Sect and, while receiving the various elders of the Haotian Sect, sent a wisp of their consciousness into the Dream God Realm to call out to Huo Yuhao.
Before long, in the Dream God Realm, Huo Yuhao's figure materialized before them.
"Uncles, have you already returned to the lower realm?"
Huo Yuhao sensed their location briefly and was somewhat surprised. It had only been less than ten days since their last meeting, and the two had returned so quickly.
“Hmm.” Niu Tian nodded, then told Huo Yuhao about their experiences in the God Realm.
Huo Yuhao's brows furrowed, like mountains converging, and he pondered for a moment, "Is there no trace of my mother in the God Realm? It seems her soul is still in Tang San's hands. I need to make some preparations as soon as possible. As for Ma Hongjun, it can be considered an extra layer of insurance for the future."
"Furthermore, when we descended to the lower realm, Tang San gave us a ball of light that faintly emitted soul fluctuations, instructing us to integrate it into Dong'er's body. We cannot detect what's inside the ball of light, and I fear it may contain Tang San's divine consciousness. What should we do now?" Niu Tian frowned, his expression grave as he continued.
"A ball of light with soul fluctuations?" Huo Yuhao's face showed surprise. As for whether it contained Tang San's divine sense, he wasn't afraid, but he was worried that it might be some other unknown thing.
After a moment of contemplation, Huo Yuhao looked up and said, "Bring that ball of light to Tiandou City tomorrow at noon. I will also arrive at noon."
“Okay!” Niu Tian agreed, then added, “Don’t bring Dong’er here. That thing must have been set up with some kind of magic specifically targeting her.”
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I understand."
Then both of them left the Dream God Realm. Huo Yuhao's consciousness returned to reality, and the two Gu Yuena were sitting quietly beside him, their two pairs of purple eyes watching him silently.
As his understanding of the soul deepened during this period, he began to ask those around him for their insights on the mysteries of the soul.
She was accompanied by the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, as well as Gu Yuena. Although none of them were known for their souls, they were once powerful beings at the God King level, so they were not lacking in skills in this area.
Just now, he was asking Gu Yuena about some secret techniques related to soul magic.
The two Gu Yue Na noticed the change in his aura, blinked, and asked, "Shall we continue?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "No, let's go to another world instead."
"Hmm." The two Gu Yuena nodded calmly, without asking Huo Yuhao what was wrong.
The three concealed themselves, and Huo Yuhao summoned a portal to a different time and space, entering first.
Gu Yue had already seen the portal once, so she seemed rather calm, while Na'er carefully sensed it.
When the three arrived in the world of Douluo Continent II, Huo Yuhao saw that Na'er's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her spiritual power quietly spread out, as if she was sensing something.
"what happened?"
"The life energy in this world is a bit strange; it's not quite the same as what we have there."
Na'er's eyes flickered, and she looked at Gu Yue with a meaningful look. "No wonder she's been looking for the life core of my world these past few days. It seems there's something wrong with the life core of this world."
"Is that so?" Huo Yuhao glanced at Gu Yue, completely unaware that she was actually searching for the Golden Ancient Tree from the Dou Yi World.
Gu Yue said calmly, "I was recuperating in another dimension before, and I didn't notice the changes in this world until I came to Shrek Academy and saw that golden ancient tree. Only then did I realize that it was the life core of this plane, and that's how I discovered some anomalies."
"However, I didn't investigate further. I sensed the aura of the Asura God on that tree, and if I delved deeper, I might expose myself. That's why I need to find another ancient tree of life in the same world, and only by comparing the two can I know what happened."
"I now know what happened to the Life Core." Huo Yuhao looked towards the Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, a strange meaning flashing in his eyes.
Both of Gu Yuena's gazes turned towards them.
"Ten thousand years ago, Tang San, who held the dual divine positions of Sea God and Asura God, had his mother merge with the Golden Ancient Tree, intending for her to possess the life core of that tree. In addition, he also arranged for his father to possess the will of the plane. At this time, both of them should be inside that Golden Ancient Tree."
“I see.” Gu Yuena nodded, her gaze piercing through layers of space to look at the golden ancient tree. “No wonder this era has given birth to a child of destiny like you. The destiny of another world is also converging on you, clearly shaping you into a child of destiny.”
Huo Yuhao asked curiously, "Is there a connection between these things? What is the will of a plane? Does it really have consciousness?"
Gu Yue shook his head and explained, "The will of a plane has no consciousness; it is merely a condensation of the rules of the plane. The so-called possession of the will of a plane is actually the refining of the rules of the plane."
"As for the relationship between the chosen one and the will of the plane—"
"Because the will of the plane has no consciousness, when it senses a threat or encounters something it cannot handle, the world will give birth to a chosen one. The greater the crisis it faces, the higher the fortune gathered in the chosen one, and the better his luck will be."
"The duty of the chosen one is to help the rules of the plane resolve crises and maintain the plane."
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, recalling that he himself in the original story had not done this at all, and couldn't help but ask, "What if the chosen one of destiny fails to fulfill his duties?"
Gu Yue glanced at Huo Yuhao, her purple eyes carrying a hint of admonition, "Everything has a price, and so does destiny. If the chosen one betrays the will of the plane, he will be abandoned by the plane, and the destiny that helped him grow and became one with him will turn into a curse, hindering his progress."
"Perhaps he was strong enough at that time to withstand the curse, but it must have affected the improvement of his strength and cultivation."
Huo Yuhao remained silent, unsure whether his original self had been negatively affected by the backlash of destiny, but he was unlikely to be. His purpose in being born was probably to resolve the issues between Tang Hao and Ah Yin, and then to maintain harmony between the soul beast race and humans.
He's already in harmony with the Lord of Soul Beasts, so isn't this mission objective completed ahead of schedule? As for Ah Yin and Tang Hao, they're just withered bones in a tomb, nothing to fear. He has General Gu Yuena, who can kill Tang Hao!

Chapter 352 Tang Wutong's Other Half of Soul
Huo Yuhao returned to the Dou Er world but did not go to find Wang Dong and the others. Instead, he went straight to Tian Dou City with the two Gu Yue Nas.
The next day, in front of Heaven Dou City, Huo Yuhao instructed the two, "We might encounter the divine sense of that new Asura God Tang San in a little while, so don't be discovered."
The two nodded slightly and said calmly, "Don't worry."
Huo Yuhao concealed his presence with a simulation and stood quietly at the entrance of Tiandou City, waiting for Niu Tian Titan and the other person.
Before long, he saw the two descend from the sky. Huo Yuhao revealed himself, wary of a possible attack from Tang San's divine sense.
Niu Tian's eyes lit up when he saw Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao led the two to a secluded spot.
"Uncles, let me see the ball of light that Tang San gave you."
Niu Tian's expression turned serious, and he raised his right hand, a blue-gold ball of light appearing in his palm.
Huo Yuhao took it and carefully examined the ball of light. To his surprise, he did not find Tang San's divine consciousness inside, but there was indeed a soul inside.
This soul wasn't very strong, probably only at the Soul Master or Soul King level, so it wasn't very clear when probed within the ball of light.
Fortunately, he had done extensive research on the soul during this period, which allowed him to uncover some information.
Sensing the not-so-powerful soul within the ball of light, Huo Yuhao frowned, his pink-gold eyes revealing a thoughtful expression.
"Boy, what have you discovered?" Titan couldn't contain himself and asked in a gruff voice.
Huo Yuhao paused, then said, "Uncles, if I'm not mistaken, this should contain Tang Wutong's soul, which is also Dong'er's other half. When she gets close enough to Dong'er, she will merge with Dong'er, and at that time—"
"It's hard to say whether the person created through fusion will be Wang Dong'er, Tang Wutong, or someone else."
"Is that the girl's other half of her soul inside?" Titan was not surprised but delighted. He came to the ball of light, looked at it, and his eyes lit up. "Then wouldn't that mean the girl's soul can be completed?"
Niu Tian frowned, glared at Titan, and made Titan retreat hesitantly.
"Yuhao, do you have any way to preserve Dong'er's memories and personality?"
Neither he nor Titan noticed anything in the ball of light, but this little guy who was only a Soul King was able to detect it very quickly, so he had no choice but to take Huo Yuhao's opinion seriously.
Huo Yuhao shook his head, his eyes filled with determination, and said, "I will not let Dong'er merge with this soul, nor will Dong'er merge with this soul."
“She told me that she is completely herself, completely Wang Dong’er, and doesn’t need to merge with the soul of any other person.”
“But if the soul is incomplete, it will be almost impossible to become a god in the future—” Niu Tian frowned.
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said firmly, "Dong'er still has me. I will find other ways to repair her soul."
Seeing that the young man before him had made up his mind, Niu Tian couldn't help but sigh. Looking at the ball of light, he asked, "Then what should we do with this soul?"
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and said, "Leave it to me."
Niu Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "After all, she is the other half of Dong'er's soul, sharing the same origin. Everything Tang San did has nothing to do with her. Since you don't want her to merge with Dong'er, I hope you won't make things too difficult for her. She is also a child with a tragic fate."
Huo Yuhao nodded noncommittally, "Let's talk about everything after I've seen her memories."
"Uncles, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll have to take my leave now."
Niu Tian and Titan watched Huo Yuhao leave. Titan couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, what do you think this kid will do with Dong'er's other half of her soul? He doesn't seem like a kind person."
Niu Tian shook his head. "I don't know either."
Titan said urgently, "Brother, aren't you worried at all? She is Dong'er's other half of soul, and also Xiao Wu's child. Since we don't intend to let her merge with Dong'er, we should protect her."
Niu Tian glanced at Titan and said, "Don't worry, Dong'er's other half of her soul won't be in any danger. Although that kid is a bit cunning, he still cares about Dong'er. With Dong'er's kind nature, he won't do anything to her other half of her soul."
On the other side, Huo Yuhao found the two Gu Yuena who were spying from afar, and immediately opened the portal to return to the world of Dou Yi.
He took out the ball of light and handed it to Gu Yue, "Take a look at this. Is there anything unusual about it? How do we break it?"
Gu Yue looked down at the ball of light, her brows furrowing slightly. After sensing it carefully for a moment, she looked up at Huo Yuhao and asked:
"Is this really the daughter of the new Asura God you speak of?"
"I think so, what's wrong?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.
Gu Yuena's ethereal voice carried a strange quality as she said, "Is this how you humans treat your offspring? Her soul has been split, and it seems to have been split more than once, which is why she is extremely weak. That's bad enough, but there's also a restriction within this ball of light. When she merges with the split-off soul, it will activate, and at that time—"
The young girl frowned slightly, her ethereal voice carrying a hint of disdain and disgust.
"She will become a puppet, a puppet that seems normal and has an independent personality, but is pre-programmed with a purpose and will not give up for that purpose."
