Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 615 Lies (10,000 words per day)

The secret Huo Yuhao brought was so astonishing that Mu En fell silent.

As a powerful figure trapped at level 99 with no further progress, Mu En actually desires to break through the shackles more than other Limit Douluos.

Becoming a god at level 100 was the easiest way he could think of to escape the torment of the Dragon Pill's malevolent energy.

However, even after searching the entire continent, Mu En could not find a single opportunity to become a god. He and Long Xiaoyao had been to the site of the battle between the two gods, Jialing Pass, the sea soul master forces that had been repeatedly wiped out by the Sun Moon Empire, and the ruins of the Slaughter City, which was rumored to contain the inheritance of an evil god.

But no matter where they went, the answer was always despair. The path to godhood had vanished, and the place of divine trials had vanished with it.

This left Moon with no choice but to think about it.

However, Mu En couldn't think too much about it. He was the master of the Sea God Pavilion and the soul of Shrek Academy. This identity was both an honor and a prison, making it impossible for him to break free from the limitations of his thinking and doubt the academy he had fought for all his life, or doubt the original Shrek Seven Devils.

It wasn't until Huo Yuhao laid out the schemes he had encountered before Mu En, and Mu En saw in Huo Yuhao's memories that the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, beings who had died ten thousand years ago, were now presiding over the Haotian Sect, that Mu En gave a bitter smile.

Both the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape have been sent down, so how could the Golden Ancient Tree, as the central hub of Shrek Academy, not have any backup plans?

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.

This statement is full of judgment on the effectiveness of dissemination in terms of time and breadth. Although lies have great charm, they will eventually be squeezed out of their core falsehood at some intersection. Obviously, Tang San's carefully crafted deception was eventually torn apart as time went by.

One lie requires more lies to cover it up. If the path to godhood is altered, then the records of all those who become gods on the continent must be altered. And altering these records will come at an even greater cost.

Over the course of ten thousand years, Huo Yuhao was not the only one who saw through this deception. Even Long Xiaoyao may have vaguely sensed it, but they were far from qualified to defy Heaven, let alone have the righteous cause to do so.

Rebellion against Heaven?

Do you really think those two Limit Douluos in the Clear Sky Sect are just there to protect the sect?

Undermining the foundation of the sea god belief?

He's just a Limit Douluo, or maybe not even a Limit Douluo, yet he dares to question the Sea God?

Having figured all this out, Moon's face showed a sorrowful expression that was a mixture of crying and laughing.

In the days leading up to his death, he finally saw how to walk the path to godhood.

However, the sorrow in his heart was indescribable; he had actually devoted his entire life to such a belief.

Poseidon Pavilion, Poseidon Lake.

The two names filled Moon with a feeling of nausea.

The more renowned these two places are, the more revered the students of Shrek Academy have been, and the more faith Tang San seized from them.

Even though Huo Yuhao didn't directly confront him about this matter this time, Mu En had some vague guesses. However, at that time, he had already let go of his obsession and only hoped that Huo Yuhao could grow up as soon as possible, without thinking too deeply about it.

In fact, a long time ago, Huo Yuhao had already told him everything using the book "The Order of Heavenly Ranks".

The "Introduction to the Celestial Path" is divided into four chapters: "Pioneering the Way", "Striving Against the Wind", "Early Rising", and "Radiance".

These four chapters represent four key moments in the early days of the Spirit Hall, using the phrases "pioneering spirit," "enduring wind and rain," "working diligently day and night," and "glorious years" as allusions for their titles.

In the preface to the Heavenly Ranks, the records of events must be written in accordance with the rules of five-character four-line or seven-character eight-line metrical patterns, and the rules of tone are also very strict.

The only line that is altered is "Angels are born, praise is given in all directions, they go north to expand their territory, and go south to open up new frontiers." It does not follow the rule of five-character four-line or seven-character eight-line.

At that time, Mu En still believed that Huo Yuhao's goal of becoming a god at level 100 was just a pipe dream, and even if the methods of becoming a god that might exist in the classics were altered, he didn't have the energy to bother with it anymore.

However, since it concerned the glory of Shrek Academy and the future of the Soul Master world of Douluo Continent, Mu En finally dispelled his weariness and carefully considered the clues provided by Huo Yuhao.

With a casual wave of his hand, a ball of power separated the two of them from the outside. Even though Mu En was so old, his control over power was still so high that Huo Yuhao couldn't understand it at all.

It was only because Long Xiaoyao was bold and trustworthy that he made Huo Yuhao stand still for a minute and managed to pull out the Three Soul Core Phase Explosion Bomb, such a heaven-defying thing. Otherwise, even with just a glance, Long Xiaoyao could have immobilized Huo Yuhao.

The gap between a Soul King and a Limit Douluo is too great.

"The ancient golden tree may indeed have problems."

Mu En slowly spoke: "Aside from the consciousness of the Golden Ancient Tree itself, I can sense that there is another power attached to the Golden Ancient Tree. However, none of the successive leaders of the Sea God Pavilion have mentioned this. I always thought it was something that existed alongside the Golden Ancient Tree."

"But now it seems that the power hidden in the shadow of the Golden Tree is not a companion of the Golden Tree, but rather the one that needs to be guarded against."

"But Yuhao, that other consciousness is hidden too deeply. Even I, the controller of the Golden Ancient Tree, cannot truly detect its existence. If possible, I hope you can help me at least see clearly what is hidden under the shadow of the Golden Ancient Tree."

"Yuhao, since you can see through the seal of a Limit Douluo and read the letter in the other party's brocade pouch, you should also be able to see the existence hidden in the shadows, right? Please."

Huo Yuhao nodded. At this moment, he had completely isolated himself from Mu En with his power, ensuring that the power of the Golden Ancient Tree could not enter. Naturally, the guy hiding in the shadow of the Golden Tree would be even less able to detect what was happening here.

Huo Yuhao's vertical pupil between his brows split open again, revealing a golden eye with a beautiful chaotic fractal pattern. Even Mu En was almost sucked into his mind when he saw this eye.

The divine hierarchy cannot be looked at directly, the Son's hierarchy cannot be touched, only the Holy Spirit's hierarchy can become the feet of His will to walk among men and spread His gospel.

It was obvious that Huo Yuhao's eyes had undergone another transformation under the nourishment of the Autumn Water Dew.

Opening his True Sight Eyes, everything before Huo Yuhao's eyes once again transformed into a series of pierced planes. As his gaze extended further, the perspectives on those planes continued to change, until he reached the depths of the Golden Ancient Tree.

It was a golden world, so vast that Huo Yuhao couldn't see anything else except the cross-section of the golden tree veins.
