Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, the Thief of Heaven

Chapter 148 The Evil Emperor Lying Down

"Evil Emperor, you've been reborn too?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed in surprise.

Although the Evil Eye Tyrant and the others were initially hostile, he came to accept Huo Yuhao after spending time together.

He also contributed a lot in the final battle; otherwise, even with Tang Wulin's help, Huo Yuhao would not have been able to escape the Time-Space Dragon King's burial place.

The Evil Emperor slowly shook his head. "I didn't experience any rebirth or anything like that. It's just that some fragments of my memories drifted over along the river of time."

Subsequently, the evil aura surrounding the Evil Eye Tyrant surged, making him incredibly terrifying.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's eyes began to show extreme fear, which meant that the Evil Emperor was still the same Evil Emperor as before, and had not changed at all.

If that's the case, not only will he not become Huo Yuhao's help in fighting against the God Realm, but he will also try his best to kill Huo Yuhao and possess his body.

Who could refuse to become the new chosen one?

The Evil Emperor completely disregarded Poison Undying, the most powerful cultivator present, and instead faced Benjamin Sun with an indifferent expression.

He wanted to find a flaw in Benjamin's eyes to determine if he could make a move against Huo Yuhao and possess him.

pity.

Benjamin's eyes always held that calm and composed look, unmoved by any pressure exerted by the Evil Eye Tyrant.

Seeing that his attempts to probe yielded no results, the Evil Eye Tyrant had no choice but to withdraw his oppressive aura and sigh helplessly.

"Alas, it seems the chosen one is still the chosen one. Your magnanimity is even greater than that of Electrolux," the Evil Emperor said, bowing.

"You flatter me," Benjamin replied with a smile.

Now the Evil Eye Tyrant is completely certain that Benjamin Sun can handle him with ease, and at least he has the ability to take Huo Yuhao away from here.

The original plan of the Evil Eye Tyrant was indeed to possess Huo Yuhao and become the ruler of Douluo Continent.

After all, for someone who was controlled by Tang San to become the chosen one of destiny would be a waste of the destiny bestowed upon the Douluo Continent.

During the Douluo Continent era, Huo Yuhao couldn't even figure out how to use a wheelchair. He would rather walk on any road than be Tang San's dog.

The timeline has changed, but fortunately, the Evil Eye Tyrant has prepared a second plan to deal with Huo Yuhao in the past few years, in order to prevent deviations from the original timeline.

"I have no intention of being your enemy," the Evil Emperor said, looking at Huo Yuhao.

"Your rise is the inevitable trend of the Douluo Continent. A wise person never goes against the trend."

"But you're not human." Seeing that there was no danger, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said cheekily.

"Big bug, do you think you're human?" The Evil Emperor retorted sarcastically, then turned to look at Huo Yuhao.

"What are you planning to do next? Are you still going to deal with Tang San?"

Huo Yuhao nodded upon hearing this. "Yes, Evil Emperor. I don't want my fate to be controlled by Tang San. I want to walk my own path."

"That's good, come over here." The Evil Emperor spoke, his voice rippling through the air like waves, carrying far and wide.

Not long after he finished speaking, a butterfly flew in from outside the door. The butterfly was entirely pink, and upon closer inspection, its face even had a human-like expression.

"Dream-path Soul Beast?" Benjamin asked in confusion.

He could tell that this soul beast had traces of the Dream Dao, and although it also had traces of the Wisdom Dao representing the spirit, the Dream Dao was still the dominant one.

"This soul beast is called the Illusory Dream-Attracting Butterfly."

The Evil Emperor extended a finger, and the butterfly landed on his fingertip. Upon closer inspection, the butterfly's wings revealed a pink hue, with shimmering glitter on them.

"This is a nearly extinct soul beast. It took me a lot of effort to find it. Consider this my pledge of allegiance to the ship," the Evil Emperor said.

"Its own cultivation level is not strong, only at the thousand-year level. But it can provide a talent soul skill called Dream Domain, which allows one to cultivate proficiency in soul skills within dreams."

"So what do you want from me?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.

Since the Evil Emperor is both helping him find soul beasts and trying to get on his pirate ship, he must have something he wants.

Otherwise, they would have gone to any lengths to possess me; they wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

"Of course I want my clan to survive, and also for my clan to become the new rulers of the Abyss after its destruction," the Evil Eye Tyrant sneered.

"To become the new ruler after the destruction of the abyss?"

Seeing the doubt in Huo Yuhao's words, the Evil Eye Tyrant began to explain: "You can preserve some of the abyssal creatures, and they will gradually assimilate with the Douluo Continent and become soul beasts, just like we and the demon spirit race."

The Evil Emperor refers to the demon spirit race of the Star Dou Great Forest, who themselves were a kind of abyss creatures who accidentally fled to the Douluo Continent.

Things.

"So, you want your race to have enough say in our human world?" Huo Yuhao pondered.

"Yes. I have full confidence that you can defeat Tang San. After all, you have the foundation. As long as you don't become Tang San's lackey, you can beat him no matter what."

Huo Yuhao couldn't tell whether the Evil Emperor was praising him or being sarcastic, so he could only laugh awkwardly.

"As long as you can guarantee that, I can voluntarily become your seventh spirit ring when you reach level 70."

It's normal for the Evil Emperor to have such thoughts. Following Huo Yuhao is equivalent to getting a ticket to immortality, and becoming a soul spirit wouldn't be a loss for him.

Once freed from Tang San's control, Huo Yuhao will have the ability and motivation to revive and separate his soul beasts.

The reason Huo Yuhao didn't do this in the previous timeline was entirely because he was constrained by Tang San and unable to cultivate his own team.

To achieve immortality, one must first offer sacrifices, becoming a spirit at all costs. A single gamble can bring wealth to three generations; only by risking everything can one avoid failure.

The Evil Emperor clearly knew that the paths of humans and soul beasts were not replicable, and he walked his own path of beastly life.

He lay within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, untouched by the storms of the outside world, which made Huo Yuhao's steps difficult and left him covered in wounds.

The Evil Emperor would still chuckle foolishly, lying in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, savoring the experience.

There's nothing we can do; that's just how the world works. He's just a weak and powerless 700,000-year-old evil-eyed tyrant ruler.

Upstairs are the lofty Sea God and Asura God, downstairs is the Child of Destiny born from the ten thousand years of fortune of Douluo Continent, and behind them are the shackles that prevent the Dragon God Soul Beast from becoming a god.

Resisting will only make your fate worse; you might as well find a comfortable position and lie down sooner.

"————Alright, Evil Emperor, I agree."

"I swear by my Martial Soul, you skinny little monkeys are the most cunning," said the Evil Emperor.

Huo Yuhao's martial soul oath was completed, and the Evil Emperor nodded in satisfaction. Now his clan was spared the fate of extinction ten thousand years later.

"Open your mind and let it become your soul," the Evil Emperor said.

As soon as the Evil Emperor finished speaking, the wings of the Illusory Dream-Attracting Butterfly began to tremble. Sure enough, it was another soul beast that had been properly "persuaded".
