Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 387 The Path to Godhood (8K)

Following this clue, Huo Yuhao reread these documents that recorded information about god-level powerhouses and quickly discovered a lot of absurdities. Combined with the fragments of information Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had given him, Huo Yuhao was able to successfully deduce that the path to godhood had been deliberately concealed.

But for Moon, even without the later corroborating evidence, these altered passages alone were enough to prove many things.

Having been stuck at level 99 for so long without making any progress, how could Mu En not have considered becoming a god at level 100? After traveling all over the Douluo Continent without finding any place of inheritance, how could Mu En not have other ideas in his mind?

Why is it that for ten thousand years since the original Shrek Seven Devils, no one has become a god?

Before the original Shrek Seven Devils became gods, a god-level powerhouse would appear about once every thousand years!

Mu En had thought about these issues, but due to the limitations imposed by his Shrek identity, he never considered the original Shrek Seven Devils.

Now, Huo Yuhao has placed these altered books one by one in front of him, forcing Mu En to think about these things.

Why were the records about these god-level powerhouses altered? Why were the points around the time they became gods specifically chosen for alteration? What was the purpose of the person who altered all of this?

A deep pain flashed in Moon's eyes.

Moon already had a general idea in his mind, but he dared not say it out loud, because if he did, his faith over the years might become worthless, or even laughable.

Who altered the records about these prodigies before and after they became gods?

Moon didn't know.

However, there was one thing that Moon knew very well: someone had left behind a book called "The Path to Godhood," which described the process of divine trials in detail in plain language and affirmed one thing with certainty.

Aside from undergoing divine trials, there is absolutely no other way for a person to reach godhood through any other means.

"Yuhao, I guess there's more than one path to godhood, right? Is that why you're confident in making reaching level 100 and becoming a god your goal?"

Moon's voice suddenly dropped, his tone calm yet tinged with loneliness. He was too old, far too old. Even if he knew there was more than one path to godhood, it was too late for him to embark on that path.

Seeing Huo Yuhao nod silently, Mu En's face showed a hint of regret, but even more so, relief.

"Alright, since that's the case, Yuhao, go find that path. This is the reward that the written word and history have given you. If you need any help, just tell Xuanzi."

Mu En was very fortunate. Although it was too late for him to embark on another path, at least Huo Yuhao still had this opportunity, so that he wouldn't repeat his mistakes and stagnate after reaching level 99.

Taking a deep breath, Mu En's complexion returned to normal, as if he had not been affected by Huo Yuhao's discovery at all.

"In that case, let's get down to business."

"Please speak."

Huo Yuhao sat upright, his expression solemn.

What are your thoughts on the Body Sect?

"Body Sect? I don't have much of an opinion on it. That old man who can't be poisoned to death is indeed powerful, but he's not very attractive to me. If I had to choose between Sun Moon Royal Academy and Body Sect, excluding our academy, I would prefer Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Their research on soul tools is much more attractive than Body Sect's."

Moon was taken aback by what he heard.

"Aren't you interested in the Body Secret Technique of the Body Sect? The Body Secret Technique has endless uses. Besides, your first martial soul, the Spirit Eye, is a genuine Body Martial Soul, and a top-tier one at that."

"By joining the Body Sect, your Martial Soul will inevitably undergo another transformation. Although Xuanzi said that your Martial Soul has already changed once, it is definitely not the Body Sect's claim of a second awakening of the Body Martial Soul. Isn't that enough to attract you?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "Once I've achieved a certain level of cultivation, I'll fight Old Master Poison Undying. If he uses his Body Secret Technique a few more times, I might be able to figure out most of it. There's no need for me to join the Body Sect to learn it."

Mu En was both amused and exasperated by Huo Yuhao's words, but when he thought of Huo Yuhao's Flowing Water Stepping Moon technique, he realized that Huo Yuhao might not have been talking nonsense, and he couldn't help but grin.

Even Mu En, the most outstanding talent of the previous era, was suddenly overwhelmed by the powerlessness of being crushed by the monstrous talent.

Can't you martial arts prodigies just talk properly?!

Taking a deep breath, Moon said somewhat helplessly, "In that case, would you like to learn my unique skills?"

"Du Bu Si is still much younger than me. He might be able to wait for you for twenty or thirty years until you grow up and come to him for a duel. Even if you really die of old age, it will have the same effect as finding Long Aotian."

"But if you don't learn my unique skills, you won't be able to learn them after I'm buried."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. This was far more valuable than the title of "Lifetime Shrek Seven Devils." Learning more skills would give him an extra means to save his life.

Moreover, I also need to learn a few tricks from them. In the future, when I meet Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe, should I call them teacher or senior brother?

To gain a seniority among the elders of Shrek Academy out of thin air—that alone isn't a loss for me.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's eyes darting around, Mu En sighed and tapped Huo Yuhao on the head three times: "You brat, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao chuckled, scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and moved closer to Elder Mu to massage his legs: "You've given me so much face, I'll definitely take it in. I'll definitely be the one to inherit your unique skills."

Mu En laughed heartily, and a gentle force instantly enveloped Huo Yuhao's body, lifting him up: "From now on, you, Shao Zhe, and Duo Duo can each do your own thing. I won't interfere with these matters. From today onwards, you are my last disciple."

As he spoke, Mu En winked at Huo Yuhao.

So it turns out Old Mu is quite the rascal!

Huo Yuhao cried out that he had been tricked.

Moon smiled and said, "Now, it's time for you to collect your reward. The last door in the last passage on the left, that room is yours."

"Teacher, then I'll go."

Huo Yuhao bowed and then turned to walk towards the second passageway.

The door to the target room was made of wood, probably from scraps taken from an ancient golden tree, and it radiated a bright aura.

With a push, the half-closed door opened.

The moment the door opened, an incredibly rich aura of light rushed in, the pure and dense light elements completely filling the room, giving it a golden hue.
