Chapter 241: The Evil Emperor

For example, there was the Amethyst Behemoth, which formed a unity with the Zither Emperor, Ye Yinzhu.Another example was the seven soul spirits inside the Emotional God King, Dai Yuhao, each representing one of the seven primary emotions.

The Ice Heaven Snow Woman, Snow Empress, represented sorrow.

The Ice Jade Scorpion, Ice Empress, represented anger.

The Skydream Iceworm represented love.

The Ice Bear King, Little White, represented joy.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass represented delight.

The Mermaid Princess, Liya, represented disgust.

The Evil-Eyed Tyrant Master, Evil Emperor, represented hatred.

The first six were relatively easy to explain—they all became soul spirits through standard contracts, evolving peacefully and without real conflict.

Only the Evil Emperor was... rather exceptional.He wasn't a pure soul spirit, yet his connection to Dai Yuhao was even closer than a soul spirit's.

Hence, he inherited hatred as his emotional attribute.

The Evil Emperor's original form was a giant eye, and the external soul bone he exploded with was also an eye—the very precursor to the Eternal Eye, the super divine weapon Dai Yuhao later forged by absorbing the power of chaos.

And Dai Yuhao wasn't the only one who benefited from the chaotic aura.The Evil Emperor also gained tremendous power from it.

In fact, since the Eternal Eye's source was the Evil Emperor's original body, he may have profited even more than Dai Yuhao.

However...Between him and Dai Yuhao was an unresolvable grudge—a hatred for a slain son, and the theft of his path.

Dai Yuhao had once hunted his child in the Evil Forest and used it as a soul ring.

Later, when Dai Yuhao killed the Evil Emperor, a fragment of the latter's soul hid inside the Eternal Eye.When Dai Yuhao attempted to condense his third soul core, the Evil Emperor tried to possess him.

He failed, of course.

Even after becoming a twisted kind of soul spirit, Dai Yuhao always remained vigilant of him.Even when relying on the seven soul spirits for power, Dai Yuhao never let the Evil Emperor manifest outside his body.

If things had continued this way—if Dai Yuhao had kept winning as Tang San's loyal hound—then the Evil Emperor wouldn't have dared to entertain further thoughts.

After all, a fist is stronger than reason.

But just when the God Realm (now upgraded into the Great Divine Circle) was on the verge of ascending to greatness—Just when Dai Yuhao's winning streak seemed eternal—A crack appeared.

And the reason…Was none other than his old nemesis: Di Tian.

Once upon a time, Di Tian—the Beast God—could only defeat him at the cost of injuring himself.Now, Di Tian had become Dragon God Di Tian, a presence that made even the twelve Divine Kings of the Great Divine Circle tremble in fear.

The Evil Emperor cast aside all tangled thoughts.

Now he wanted to win, just once.

And he had indeed found a way:

He would send the cosmic coordinates of the Great Divine Circle to Di Tian—Allowing him to lead his Divine Kings and his own divine realm to invade before the Circle could complete its evolution into a divine star.

With himself acting as an inside agent, the odds of success would skyrocket.

Only two obstacles remained:

Dai Yuhao's constant surveillance.

A method to transmit information to Di Tian.

The second? That was solvable.

The Fate Power from the Star Dou Forest originated from the Fate Beast Empress, whose karmic bond with Di Tian ran deep.And currently, that Fate Power rested within Dai Yuhao's body.

With the universe's only mental-type super divine weapon, the Eternal Eye, and this delicate fate connection, the Evil Emperor could absolutely relay information to Di Tian.

But Dai Yuhao's spiritual power was still the strongest in the Great Divine Circle.

His watchful gaze—that was the real problem.

So the Evil Emperor could only lurk, wait, and bide his time.

Inside the Eternal Eye, the Evil Emperor muttered silently:

Dai Yuhao, Dai Yuhao… If the time comes when you want to switch positions with Tang Wutong, you better not put it in the wrong hole.If you piss off that Tang family lady, getting trialed by the Shura God will be the least of your worries. My perfect chance might get delayed till kingdom come.

While the Evil Emperor plotted his great betrayal—

Outside, in the real world:

The first meeting of the Great Divine Circle's God Realm Committee had just ended.

Chairman Tang San, together with the Divine Kings, activated the central divine energy node, magnifying their divine sense and sending it outward into the cosmos—To call for allies.

The plan was to contact all gods, planes, and realms that had historic ties to the Circle.Encourage them to move in and merge, accelerating the Great Divine Circle's evolution into a God Star.

Time was the one thing Tang San could no longer afford to wait for.

Who knew how long Xiao Wu's soul could hold on after merging into his body?

Only by completing the God Star, and using its divine power to kill Dragon God Di Tian, could he harvest the creative force within Di Tian's bloodline to rebuild Xiao Wu's body.

From here on, it would be a race against time.

Under the vastness of the cosmos, even Divine Kings could only look up at the stars and hope for luck.

And so, the first God Realm Committee adjourned.

The Divine Kings each left, carrying their own emotions.

Dai Yuhao, during the meeting, had actually woken up—He had only been pretending to be unconscious while channeling divine sense.

Why?

Because his spiritual sensitivity—the highest in the Divine Circle—had noticed his father-in-law Tang San's extremely bad mood.

If he didn't step up and put on a performance, there was a very real chance Tang San would take away his and Tang Wutong's "next-level access privileges."

And if that happened…

He'd have no tears left to cry.

So when the meeting ended, Dai Yuhao was the first to slip away.

But not toward home.

Instead, he headed to his teacher Rong Nianbing's house.

Why?

Because life needs ritual—And more importantly, Tang Wutong was clearly in a terrible mood due to her mother Xiao Wu's condition.

What better way to soothe her emotions than food?

Delicious food, at that.

Dai Yuhao's own grilled fish was famous, and his cooking skills—honed from years of making meals for Tang Wutong—were excellent.

But compared to Rong Nianbing?

That was like a firefly to the moon, a nag to a kirin, a frog peering at the sky from a well.

Not even close.

Rong Nianbing, the true God of Gourmet, had a whole harem of wives—clearly not unrelated to his culinary prowess.

So Dai Yuhao paid him a visit to not only take home some dishes to help Wutong feel better,But also to ask his teacher and many masterful mistresses for some "position knowledge" in the bedroom.

Some time passed.

Dai Yuhao left with a basket of divine delicacies made by the Great Divine Circle's top chef, his cheeks red from what he had learned, his brain full of new knowledge about "techniques."

His footsteps naturally led him back home—

To the residence he shared with Tang Wutong.
