Chapter 11 All or Nothing

Time passed slowly, and soon it was the next morning.

The dazzling spirit ring had already undergone some changes. At the very center of the golden spirit ring, a semi-transparent spirit core, radiating spiritual fluctuations, was rotating, forming a terrifying vortex of spirit power that gradually caused the entire spirit ring to rotate.

The gold color that originally belonged to the million-year soul ring has long since faded, and instead reveals a translucent silver color belonging to the spirit. The nature of the soul ring has changed from carrying soul skills to carrying soul cores!

A silver spirit ring floated in front of Huo Yuhao. The hand that had been resting on the spirit ring was pulled back. At the same time, the phantom of the Eye of Destiny between his brows disappeared. Control over the power of Tianmeng was returned to Tianmeng. Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes.

However, Huo Yuhao was stunned as soon as he opened his eyes.

Gu Yuena was just like when they first met, practically pressed herself against him, very close.

With her bright purple eyes and slightly trembling eyelashes, she stared at him intently, her curiosity and anticipation captured by the Seed of Emotion.

"Sister Nana?"

"Can I have that soul contract from earlier?"

Gu Yuena spoke expressionlessly, but Huo Yuhao, through the Seed of Emotion, clearly sensed a hint of expectation.

Huo Yuhao blinked, then shook his head.

"My soul contract is special; others can't use it, and it's useless to you even if you take it. The original version is the same."

The soul contracts he created in his previous life did not truly stop the decline of soul beasts; in fact, they accelerated their extinction to some extent.

The Soul Contract is not problematic in principle, but it is still not feasible in terms of the fact that it still requires the sacrifice of a Soul Beast.

Gu Yuena's eyes dimmed slightly, but Huo Yuhao changed the subject and continued:

"However, the time I used the Soul Contract to condense a Soul Ring just now gave me a little idea. At least, given enough time, I should be able to figure out a way to condense a blank Soul Ring without any problems."

The primary reason why Soul Masters hunt Soul Beasts is to break through their cultivation level; the secondary reason is to acquire Soul Skills.

If Huo Yuhao really figured out the method to condense blank spirit rings, then the problem of spirit masters hunting spirit beasts would be half solved!

"You're going to help me?"

Huo Yuhao nodded matter-of-factly: "Yes."

A slight ripple flickered in Gu Yuena's calm eyes, and more complex emotions began to take root and sprout.

Why?

She never completely let down her guard against Huo Yuhao, after all, in her guess, Huo Yuhao was once a god who died in some accident and came to the Douluo world with his natal artifact.

Although she didn't know what kind of god Huo Yuhao had been, she was certain that Huo Yuhao must have been a human god.

Why would a human deity help these soul beasts?

After a long silence, Huo Yuhao spoke softly:

"This is what I owe you. Whether it is the attainment of divinity or this eye of mine, it is all thanks to you."

"However, I have let you down."

He knew what he had done.

The Eye of Destiny allowed him to steal the fortune belonging to the soul beasts, while the Soul Contract accelerated their demise to some extent.

He didn't want to use excuses like "I was deceived" or "I was tricked by Tang San" to shirk responsibility.

What's done is done; that's an undeniable fact.

In his past life, he was a sinner. To the entire soul beast race, he was a heinous and unforgivable sinner who had let down the soul beasts!

That is why, when he saw Gu Yuena, the ruler of all soul beasts, the first emotion that arose in his heart was guilt, immense guilt.

He looked at the girl so close to him, noticing the complex emotions and silence in her eyes, and then he smiled and spoke:

"I swear by fate, I will find a way for the soul beast race to survive. This is a promise, an eternal promise."

The Eye of Destiny appeared once again. As a divine artifact of destiny, and also Huo Yuhao's natal artifact, it represents Huo Yuhao himself in a sense.

A golden thread extended slowly, then gently touched Gu Yuena, and then merged into her brow. In an instant, a message appeared in Gu Yuena's mind.

Why?

At this moment, Gu Yuena could no longer remain calm.

Huo Yuhao unilaterally made a restrictive fate contract with her, which stipulated that Huo Yuhao in the future must find a way to completely solve the problem of the soul beast race.

During this period, if Huo Yuhao breaches the contract, she will have the right to use this power from fate to tie Huo Yuhao up, and he will have no ability to resist!

Even Huo Yuhao's natal artifact would turn to help her at this moment! This is a contract from fate!

However, the condition for breach of contract is "her opinion," which is quite idealistic.

For example, if Huo Yuhao doesn't buy her food and she's unhappy, she might think that he looks down on her as the ruler of all soul beasts, and therefore believe that he is harming soul beasts. Then she can use this power to tie him up and do whatever she wants with him.

This guy practically entrusted his life to her without reservation.

An inexplicable emotion welled up in my heart and began to take root and sprout at an eerie speed.

Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes slightly. The condensation of his spiritual core caused a qualitative change in his soul power, which also led to a change in the seed of emotion.

Now, he can taste the flavor of emotions.

For example, right now, he can directly sense Gu Yuena's emotions through taste.

Shock, confusion, and a mix of other feelings, intoxicating like a sweet wine.

He looked at the girl so close to him, and whether it was the delicious taste or something else, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile:

"As the ruler of all soul beasts, you naturally wouldn't easily trust others, especially since I'm still a human."

"But there's nothing I can do. My ability to protect myself is too weak right now. Without a reliable backer, I don't think I can accomplish what I want to do."

"So you can think of this as a transaction: I'm handing myself over to you in exchange for your trust and your help."

"So now, Nana, the choice is in your hands. What is your choice?"

Huo Yuhao wouldn't do something he wasn't sure of.

Although this matter seems like a gamble, for Huo Yuhao, it was simply a matter of naturally setting limits for himself.

In his previous life, before ascending to the God Realm, he was almost entirely under Tang San's control. Although he has been reborn in this life and has memories of the future, it does not mean that he is completely safe.

If Tang San were to catch him in a compromising situation again, forcing him to do something, Gu Yuena would be his last line of defense.
