Douluo Continent: I can overdraft the future in advance

On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Luo Yun had been waiting for ten days.

He chose a very clever location—in the canopy of an ancient tree with lush foliage, on the only road leading into the forest from the Star Luo Empire. From here, one could see the figures of people coming and going on the official road, while those below would hardly notice someone hiding above them.

He is waiting.

When a figure appeared at the end of the official road, Luo Yun's pupils contracted slightly. He had short black hair, wore a gray cloth robe, carried a faded bundle on his back, and had a short sword tucked into his waistband. He looked like an ordinary young man.

But Luo Yun knew he was no ordinary man.

His name is Huo Yuhao.

Luo Yun didn't move. He watched Huo Yuhao walk closer and further away along the official road, and only when the gray figure completely disappeared into the shadows of the trees did he slide down from the treetop and land silently on the ground.

He started following from a distance.

Maintaining a distance of about one kilometer, he moved through the forest like a silent snake, using the trees and bushes for cover. His martial soul was of the ice attribute, so he slowed his steps, breathed heavily, and even deliberately slowed the flow of his blood.

Huo Yuhao walked in front, and he followed behind.

Luo Yun's attention wasn't just focused on Huo Yuhao; he was also keeping an eye on two other people: Bei Bei and Tang Ya. According to the original timeline, they should be nearby. Although Luo Yun was confident in his ability to conceal himself, he couldn't afford to be careless when facing a Soul Master with exceptional talent.

He chose a path slightly off from Huo Yuhao's route, using the undulating terrain and the cover of trees to maintain a distance from being discovered.

They walked for about half an hour.

A delicious aroma wafted over.

Luo Yun paused for a moment.

Really fragrant.

Luo Yun stood behind a large tree, watching the gray figure crouching by the stream not far ahead, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth. Is this the power of the rules of Douluo Continent? This mere grilled fish smells so good, and the aroma from grilled fish in the wild can travel this far. If this were on Earth, it would have been spotted by predators long ago. But then he thought, Huo Yuhao's grilled fish is one of the great "divine skills" of Douluo Continent, even the teachers and students of Shrek Academy are captivated by it; this aroma is probably part of the rules.

Forget it, the fantasy world doesn't work out.

Luo Yun didn't continue forward. He stopped about three hundred meters away from the aroma of grilled fish, found a sturdy old tree, and sat down with his back against the trunk. He took out a piece of dry rations from his storage bracelet, tore off a small piece, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly.

If my memory serves me right, Beibei should be arriving soon.

Bei Bei and Tang Ya appear here, and then Huo Yuhao will be attacked by the wind baboons.

Luo Yun swallowed his dry rations, stood up, and began moving through the forest. With Huo Yuhao's current strength, even a ten-year-old wind baboon would keep him busy.

After searching for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he found the beast of cause and effect deep in a dense forest.

Luo Yun did not approach, but simply memorized the location of this area from a distance.

He then retreated to a more secluded spot, sat down behind a rock, and began to wait.

Less than half a day later.

Luo Yun heard the noise.

Behind Huo Yuhao, the wind baboon jumped down from the treetop and landed on his retreat path.

Luo Yun's fingers twitched slightly.

He waited here for ten days, not to save Huo Yuhao, and he knew Huo Yuhao would not be in danger.

He was waiting for Electrolux.

Just as Huo Yuhao finally killed the wind baboon, a huge crack appeared in the ground.

A giant silkworm crawled out of the crack.

Its body was over a meter long, crystal clear, like a huge piece of white jade. Its surface was covered with intricate patterns, each representing ten thousand years of cultivation. Luo Yun tried to count the patterns, but he couldn't, because there were too many, too many—at least dozens of circles.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, a million-year-old soul beast.

It appeared.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm clung tightly to Huo Yuhao, its enormous body beginning to glow. Rings of golden light emanated from its body, the power of its soul rings—the essence of a million years of cultivation—gradually peeling away from it and flowing towards Huo Yuhao.

The sacrifice began.

But Luo Yun's gaze suddenly shifted away from Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

He looked up at the sky.

The sun was visibly darkening, and the sky was getting dark.

Luo Yun's heart suddenly raced.

coming.

He took out the Soul-Devouring Blade from the deepest part of his storage bracelet.

A gray current of air appeared between heaven and earth.

It was born from the void and was about to turn towards Huo Yuhao, but it suddenly stopped and turned, flying straight towards Luo Yun.

The gray stream of energy entered his sea of ​​consciousness.

Luo Yun felt his spiritual sea trembling.

A voice echoed in his mind.

"Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world."

The voice paused for a moment, as if scrutinizing him, or perhaps examining everything within his spiritual sea. Then, the voice spoke again, this time with a hint of something indescribable.

"Young man, your spiritual sea is extraordinary. And that knife is extraordinary too."

"I need a place to stay. In exchange, I'll help you purify the evil energy from that knife. What's on it is beyond your control."

Luo Yun did not hesitate.

"it is good."

"I will be in a deep sleep for a while. Don't use that knife again until I wake up."

Electrolux's voice grew weaker and weaker, fading into the distance, as if sinking into deep water.

Then, complete silence fell.

Luo Yun stood there, motionless for a long time.

Luo Yun put the knife back into his storage bracelet and let out a long breath.

He succeeded.

Luo Yun raised his head and looked at Huo Yuhao in the distance. The sacrifice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm continued, golden light constantly emanating from the giant silkworm and flowing into the boy's body. Huo Yuhao's expression was a mixture of pain and confusion. He didn't know what he was going through; a million years of cultivation was transforming his body and reshaping his martial soul.

He didn't know that Electrolux was supposed to enter his body as well.

Luo Yun looked at the boy and remained silent for a moment.

He understood Electrolux's role better than anyone. Necromancy, the undead demiplane, soul technology—these were powers capable of altering the continent's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall structure, overall situation, and overall dynamics). He didn't need Electrolux to teach him how to be a necromancer; that wasn't his path. However, the undead demiplane and soul technology were incredibly useful. One allowed one to possess their own space, and the other allowed dead soul beasts to continue existing in another form, potentially offering significant assistance in the future coexistence of humans and soul beasts.

In the future, when he goes to the Sun Moon Empire, he will have the opportunity to intercept the Snow Empress. In the original story, Huo Yuhao, with the help of Electrolux, turned the Snow Empress into a spirit. Now that Electrolux is with him, he can do the same thing.

As for Huo Yuhao...

Luo Yun turned around and walked in the direction that led away from the forest.

Without Electrolux, Huo Yuhao's path will be much more difficult. His path of revenge will be even more solitary, and his personality may become even more obsessive. Wang Qiu'er, Wang Dong'er, Ju Zi, Ma Xiaotao... those who have appeared in his life, those intertwined destinies with him, may take completely different paths as the darker side of his personality is amplified.

But those destined for greatness always find a way to move forward.

The consciousness of the Douluo Continent will not allow its pawns to fall easily. Huo Yuhao may not become the God of Emotions, and he may not reach the heights of the original work, but he will have a different future.

Luo Yun chose to believe in that unseen and intangible dimensional consciousness.
