Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 1266 The Two Dragons Finally Meet (6K)

Three months later, the Heavenly Soul Empire, whose more than a dozen major cities had been basically rebuilt, was officially incorporated into the Federation and renamed the Heavenly Soul Region of the Douluo Federation.

Although Vina is the head of the Heavenly Soul Region, she still carried out the construction in the same way that the Soul Palace had done in the Sun Moon Empire.

They gathered the Soul Master families to Heaven Dou City and the surrounding urban areas.

Soul Masters do not interfere with the lives of ordinary people; they are only responsible for sending people to awaken their Martial Souls and guiding Soul Masters with Soul Power to Soul Master Academy.

The Heavenly Soul Empire was in dire need of reconstruction. Although many places had been ravaged by evil soul masters, fortunately, we now live in an era where high-altitude detection soul guides are flying around freely.

Even though the evil spirit masters had wreaked havoc on the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, they were worried that Shrek Academy's inspection team would come and fight them to the death based on the images reported by the detectors, which saved the lives of many civilians.

Soon, Xu Sanshi, who had been in charge of state affairs in the Douling Empire but had never actually ascended the throne, also responded to the Federation and, following the same operating procedures, became the person in charge of the Douling Region.

For a time, only the Star Luo Empire remained, all alone on the entire Douluo Continent.

This left Xu Jiawei, sitting in the palace, with only an awkward, bitter smile.

Huo Yuhao was giving him face by not sending anyone to urge him, but just waiting for his own response.

Xu Jiawei was almost certain that, given Huo Yuhao's benevolent nature, if he responded to the Federation's call, Huo Yuhao would still be the leader of the Star Luo Region.

What Huo Yuhao wanted to do was simply to weaken the power of folk soul master sects and forces, and at the same time, to keep these people together so they wouldn't go out and harm ordinary people.

As for the infighting among Soul Masters, where they'd fight to the death, Huo Yuhao didn't care. Those who couldn't make it on their own could go and help with reconstruction.

The main theme of the future of the Soul Master world is learning, and the most important task of the Soul Master world is to work on developing technologies that can drive the Soul Master world forward.

Anyone who cannot work towards this goal will be removed by Huo Yuhao himself; whoever stands in his way will be eliminated.

And perhaps this is the correct way for top-tier Soul Masters to use it?

Huo Yuhao himself was not sure. In the past three months, he had hardly shown his face. He and Wang Dong'er finally found an opportunity to travel around and explore. They traveled from Shrek Academy to the Star Luo Empire and then to the Sun and Moon Region.

I went to Slaughter City to watch a few deathmatches, then watched a hastily arranged battle royale, and then traveled from the Heavenly Soul Region through the Fighting Spirit Region back to Shrek Academy.

They witnessed both the picturesque scenery and the devastation brought by war, both of which were very enriching for them.

Upon returning to Shrek Academy, leaving behind a deep kiss, Wang Dong'er went into seclusion again.

It was clear that the little girl was deeply affected by the scene of an entire country being reduced to ruins and countless people struggling to survive for a meal.

In Wang Dong'er's opinion, if they couldn't beat that old bastard Tang San, they would end up in the same situation, or even worse.

Seeing Wang Dong'er return to her cultivation full of fighting spirit, Huo Yuhao awkwardly stopped his hand, which was halfway to his pocket.

At their age, they should be able to make some new progress and achievements in their lives.

Putting the small box back in his hand, Huo Yuhao awkwardly pulled Long Xiaoyao out of the undead demiplane.

No rush, it's okay to wait a little longer.

At this moment, Long Xiaoyao naturally had no idea how Huo Yuhao was feeling.

However, Long Xiaoyao's own feelings were quite complicated.

A mix of trepidation and a touch of nonchalance and anticipation lingered within her.

After all, Huo Yuhao had said that he would take the two of them to see Mu En one last time before they received their punishment.

For Long Xiaoyao, his actions over the years have made it difficult for him to hold his head high in front of his old friends.

On the other hand, at his age, his former teachers, relatives, and friends have all passed away.

Now, apart from Mu En and Ye Xishui, there is no one else still alive in this world.

For such a friend, with whom he had fought for half his life and whose friendship had lasted for about two hundred years.

Even though Long Xiaoyao felt awkward, he was still somewhat looking forward to meeting him.

Especially now, when the meeting is no longer driven by any utilitarian motives or biases.

Maybe we can recapture some of the feelings from back then.

Of course, no matter how well they ended up talking with Mu En, Huo Yuhao would never let Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui die so easily.

That's too lenient on them.

The sins committed by the Holy Spirit Cult need to be repaid, and Ye Xishui's creation of millions of innocent souls for her own cultivation requires her atonement.

Long Xiaoyao had nothing to say. Even if it meant using up some rare and precious materials, he had to cure this old guy and send him to the Killing City to keep order.

As for Ye Xishui's fate, we can basically prepare to pay homage to the legendary player A Yin, who ended up in jail.

Huo Yuhao planned to transform her into an undead creature so that she could cultivate her soul power on her own. Only when she cultivated millions of units of soul power and atoneed for her sins would she have the chance to die and be done with it.

Before this happens, no matter whether this punishment lasts for a thousand or ten thousand years, just sit there obediently. What do you think the executioners who slaughtered millions of civilians want human rights for?

Huo Yuhao looked at Long Xiaoyao, whose expression was complex, and asked, "Senior Long, what are your thoughts on the punishment you and Ye Xishui are about to undergo?"

Long Xiaoyao raised his head, a wry smile on his face: "That's to be expected. We made mistakes, and we should pay the corresponding price. I was mentally prepared for this a hundred years ago. It's just that I'm afraid Xi Shui..."

"I'm afraid they won't just confess willingly, will they?"

Huo Yuhao gave a meaningful look: "If she herself is unwilling to cooperate, the millions of vengeful spirits she has tormented will reason with her properly; I won't need to lift a finger."

Long Xiaoyao paused for a moment, then smiled wryly: "Sigh."

"Let's go, come with me to see the teacher." Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers with his right hand.

With a flash of silver light, Long Xiaoyao felt a dizzying sensation engulf him.

Once he was back on solid ground, he found himself in a room made entirely of wood.

This place appears to be a spacious hall, bathed in a faint golden glow that makes it seem like dusk, creating a unique, dimly lit beauty.

"Is this the Sea God's Pavilion?"

Long Xiaoyao couldn't help but look around at everything, reaching out to touch the ancient long table carved from a golden tree.

A warm sensation then entered his palm.

The faint light mixed with the power of life, seemingly making his aged body, which had lost its soul power, seem younger and more vibrant again.

"Yes, the Sea God Pavilion."

A young voice rang out, but it sounded so natural: "Xiaoyao, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Long Xiaoyao turned his head, but only saw Beibei.

No, that's not Beibei. He didn't think that a young man in his early twenties like Beibei would have such deep and insightful eyes.

Even a monster like Huo Yuhao wouldn't have such aged eyes.
