Douluo Continent, I, Huo Yuhao, defy fate with my spiritual eyes.

Seeing the sudden change in the surrounding environment, Zhou Bi tensed up and entered Spinosaurus form.

"This commotion... a thousand-year-old soul beast? No, it's at least a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast! How is this possible? We're still over fifty kilometers from the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, how could there be such a powerful soul beast here!"

As Zhou Bi watched the earth tear apart bit by bit, he felt all his strength drain away, and he couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.

The platinum-gold light slowly rose through the crack. Zhou Bi's mouth was dry, and he suddenly came to his senses, scrambling to escape. As for Huo Yuhao? He was running for his life, so who cared about him?

"Dare to lay a hand on someone I've set my sights on? You're asking for death!"

A frivolous and arrogant voice rang out, and a silkworm, more than seven meters long, pure white as jade, with ten golden stripes on its body, crawled out from the crack, and a trace of cold air emanated from its body.

The temperature between heaven and earth dropped several degrees in an instant, and Zhou Bi's tumbling figure received special treatment, his body being frozen by layers of frost and snow from bottom to top.

Zhou Bi suddenly fell to the ground, turned around in disbelief, and stared at the silkworm with his mouth agape in utter astonishment.

"Speak...speak human language! Ten thousand years...you're a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast!"

As the frost gradually spread, Zhou Bi was terrified. He kept slapping the frost with his long arms, trying to break it apart.

Click...

Zhou Bi knocked his own leg off.

In his extreme terror, snow covered his face, turning him into a complete ice sculpture.

The silkworm wriggled its body, quite pleased with itself, and slowly approached Huo Yuhao. It carefully examined him with its small eyes, then shook its head in disappointment.

"I don't know if my luck is good or bad. I actually encountered a rare mental-type Soul Master before I died, but why is his aptitude so poor?!"

However, the silkworm seemed helpless, shaking its head and complaining.

But seeing Huo Yuhao's calm demeanor and complete lack of fear, the silkworm became curious and approached him, pretending to intimidate him.

"Aren't you afraid of me? I'm a super-powerful soul beast!"

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar silkworm body, Huo Yuhao felt incredibly conflicted. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but his throat tightened, and in the end, he could only utter one sentence.

"Brother Tianmeng...long time no see!"

The unconsciously swaying body of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly stopped, a chilling feeling spreading from bottom to top. It jumped back abruptly, its small eyes revealing a complex mix of emotions: fear, confusion, and wariness. Its once confident and fluent voice now became stuttering.

"Y-you...who are you? How do you know my name??"

Huo Yuhao knew that his words might have a huge impact on Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, but he couldn't control himself.

In his dream, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was the first thing to stay by his side and his most trusted companion. He wanted to confide all his experiences and grievances to it.

Huo Yuhao stammered, unsure of what to say. He wanted to tell the truth but was afraid of being overheard by Tang San.

"I...I am..."

Just as Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm were awkwardly staring at each other, a gray bead suddenly appeared in the sky and shot towards Huo Yuhao like a shooting star.

Upon seeing the gray bead, Huo Yuhao became excited and couldn't help but shout out.

"Mr. Electrolux!"

The gray bead paused, hovering in mid-air, as a weathered and majestic voice rang out.

"You seem to know me..."

Oh no... Now there's another thing I need to explain.

Huo Yuhao smiled wryly, once again looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

In an instant, everything seemed to freeze, and a white, ethereal figure appeared out of nowhere, radiating a natural and approachable aura, like the Mother of the World, its voice gentle and serene.

"Everyone, I think you all have questions in your minds, right?"

The phantom appeared just as he showed something different, and Huo Yuhao immediately became alert.

"Who are you?"

The phantom clearly had no face, but Huo Yuhao could feel it looking at him, and with a gentle and loving gaze, just like... Huo Yun'er.

The tranquil sound rang out again.

"I am the spirit of the Douluo Continent plane, also known as the Mother of the World."

After speaking, the phantom emitted a pale green glow, and the surrounding vegetation grew wildly.

Sensing this aura that was absolutely impossible to fake, Huo Yuhao was already certain of its identity. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux were also shocked to feel this aura that far surpassed their own.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and Huo Yuhao hesitantly asked his question.

"Can I talk about him?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ilex looked at Huo Yuhao in confusion, wondering who he was referring to.

"Of course, I've already blocked this area."

As expected, the test was confirmed. Huo Yuhao nodded, a look of understanding flashing across his handsome face.

Did you bring me back?

The illusory figure nodded slightly, its soft white light rippled, and it seemed quite pleased. Then it looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ilex and explained.

"The child you see here is from the future. Back then, there was a sea god named Tang San who tried to turn Douluo Continent into his private domain for his own selfish interests. If he had been able to manage the continent well, it would have been fine."

Halfway through his sentence, the Spirit of the Plane trembled slightly, and the white light turned reddish, as if it had remembered something that made it angry. It continued speaking.

"Under his leadership, the ecosystem of Douluo Continent suffered severe damage..."

The Dimensional Spirit then recounted some of Huo Yuhao's future experiences, while Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux listened in silence.

They listened with skepticism at first, but only accepted the reality after hearing some secrets that only they knew.

Tang San's double standards, the despair in Qiankun Wenqing Valley, Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er eventually becoming Tang Wutong, until finally, Huo Yuhao becomes Dai Yuhao, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux suddenly look up, their faces full of disbelief.

After hearing the whole story, and seeing Huo Yuhao crying his heart out earlier, they never imagined that Huo Yuhao would eventually give in and return to the Dai family...

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm moved closer to Huo Yuhao, gently pressing her cool, white body against him to comfort him.

"Yu, Yuhao, I'll call you that from now on. You've worked so hard all these years..."

Patting the enormous silkworm body to indicate that he was alright, Huo Yuhao's eyes were a little red as he looked up at the Spirit of the Plane, his face filled with hope and expectation.

"I want to know, about my mother's soul..."

Halfway through his sentence, Huo Yuhao dared not continue. His mind was in turmoil. He was afraid that all of this would become that dream again, that his mother's soul would be taken away by Tang San, and that he would have to return to the gears of fate once more.

The spirit of the plane possesses a gentle yet absolute confidence.

"Don't worry, although I'm extremely weak from reversing time, I can still protect a soul. Your mother is currently slumbering inside the World Tree; you can go find her when you're able to protect her."

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao collapsed as if all his strength had been drained.

Overwhelmed by the sudden and unexpected good news, Huo Yuhao's reddened eyes couldn't hold back his tears. He didn't wail loudly, but wept silently.

Tears streamed down her cheeks and chin, then fell in large drops to the ground.

Even after being reborn, he still couldn't protect his mother, a pain that haunts Huo Yuhao for the rest of his life.

Today, upon learning that his mother's soul was still alive and had not been taken away by Tang San, Huo Yuhao finally found an outlet for his long-suppressed emotions.

No one disturbed him; they simply let him quietly vent his sorrow.

After a long, long time, Huo Yuhao stopped crying, and his eyes regained their usual firmness and determination. The illusory figure approached and gently stroked Huo Yuhao's head.

"Child, you are the chosen one favored by the Douluo Continent. Tang San wants to control the Douluo Continent through you. We are all prey in his eyes. Your experiences and encounters have more or less involved in and manipulated by Tang San. I hope you can join me in fighting against Tang San."

Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with anger and contempt for fate.

"Fate has decided that I must submit to it, then I will rebel against fate."
