Misunderstanding

On the other side, Tang San's divine sense overheard the conversation between Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.

He realized that the two were unaware of the existence of the Golden Dragon King's seal.

They only knew that Tang Wulin possessed the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, and that his strength was weak.

Moreover, they hadn't detected his divine sense probing them. Tang San let out a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Tang San began to ponder the information he had just obtained.

"It seems Huo Yuhao has teamed up with the Silver Dragon King. He was able to come back to life and survive until now because of her? Is the Silver Dragon King the mastermind behind all of this?"

Tang San's divine sense felt somewhat heavy.

The Silver Dragon King was a split of the Dragon God. Unlike the insane Golden Dragon King, she represented reason and wisdom. It seemed that this was indeed true.

She had silently brought Huo Yuhao under her wing, helping him fake his death and escape the control of the Divine Realm. Truly remarkable!

From the perspective of the Silver Dragon King's identity, it was most reasonable to assume that the fortune was tied to the auspicious beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.

But fortune and Huo Yuhao were no longer important.

The issue was that within the Spirit Pagoda, there was an existence above the level of a first-grade god, the Silver Dragon King, who represented the wisdom of the Dragon God!

"She didn't detect my divine sense, and her aura is no different from that of a true Great Soul Master. Did she, like Huo Yuhao, start over? Or is there another reason?"

Tang San's divine sense flashed with contemplation, his expression shifting. "No, directly confronting her is not advisable. I still need to consider the Abyss. If a godly war were to break out because of this, and the Abyss invaded, the consequences would be unpredictable."

At this moment, the Abyss had become a thorn in his side.

Although it was just a dish, it was a dish with a first-grade god. It was too tough.

As long as the Abyss wasn't dealt with, his father couldn't act freely, and he also had to tread carefully.

"Or... perhaps using the Silver Dragon King to fight the Abyss is a viable strategy."

Tang San's divine sense shifted its line of thought, and his vision suddenly brightened.

The enemy was in the open, while he was in the dark. The advantage was... well, the other side had two existences above the level of a first-grade god. He didn't have the advantage, but at least it wasn't the worst-case scenario.

With the Silver Dragon King in the open, he could devise a plan to have her and the Abyss fight to the death.

Now, the soul beasts and the Douluo Federation were intertwined in prosperity and decline.

He didn't believe the Silver Dragon King would sit back and watch the situation be destroyed by the Abyss!

As for Huo Yuhao?

Those below the god level were mere ants.

His father could always suppress Huo Yuhao's cultivation, preventing him from becoming a god.

Not just him, but all non-godly beings within the plane didn't even have the right to step onto the chessboard.

In this world, the only heroes were him and the Silver Dragon King!

Once the Silver Dragon King and the Abyss were both weakened, dealing with someone who was at most a quasi-god would be simple.

Tang San's divine sense took one last look at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena outside, his gaze lingering on the latter before he sank back into slumber.

From now on, unless absolutely necessary, he would no longer expend his divine sense power.

He would absorb the leaked power from the Golden Dragon King's seal, accumulate enough divine sense power, and then act when the time was right.

...Watching Tang Wulin leave with Jin Yu, Huo Yuhao dispelled his domain and stored the Blood Origin Crystal, which had extracted a trace of bloodline power.

He looked inward, observing the Golden Dragon King's bloodline that he had deliberately wrapped in soul power and not absorbed. His eyes were deep.

This game, we'll take it slow...

"Yuhao, why did you have me say those things earlier?" Gu Yuena asked from the side.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao retracted his gaze and looked at Gu Yuena. "The hidden hand in his body, as I tested, is a divine sense left by the Sea God, and it retains its memories. You need to be careful in the future."

Gu Yuena had stood in front for him, so he couldn't keep these things from her.

"I see."

Gu Yuena was momentarily stunned, then nodded thoughtfully.

So, Huo Yuhao had her say those things to mislead the other party? Was he trying to obtain something from the Sea God?

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's calm voice rang out, "The Golden Dragon King's bloodline is what I wanted to extract. You didn't need to come."

"...I just thought it would be safer with two people," Gu Yuena said softly.

Why did it feel like Huo Yuhao was a bit angry...

Huo Yuhao wanted to say something, but in the end, he just smiled helplessly. "Forget it, let's not talk about the past. What do you want for lunch? I'll make it for you."

"Really?"

Gu Yuena's eyes lit up, knowing that Huo Yuhao wasn't really angry. She began counting on her fingers, "Then I want the one from last time..."

Huo Yuhao listened quietly and walked with her toward the kitchen.

Inside his spiritual sea, Bing Bing reminded him, "Yuhao, don't blame me for speaking out of turn, but she might just be trying to win your favor. After all, in her eyes, you're a God King."

She still found it hard to believe that a deity representing wisdom would act like this... Speaking of which, she hadn't heard much about the Dragon God's legends. Where exactly was this wisdom?

"Judge by actions, not intentions. She came... that's enough."

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly and said no more.

...

The day passed quickly. When night fell, Huo Yuhao raised his hand and drew a gray hexagram in the air.

Gray light bloomed, and the large hexagram slowly descended to the ground. As the intense gray glow rose again, it completely enveloped Huo Yuhao's body.

With a flash of light, he disappeared from the spot.

Elder Yi's Half-Plane was a world shrouded in darkness. In the sky, a strange sun hung high, its body pitch black, as if it had swallowed all light.

Huo Yuhao appeared on the ground, which was as black as ink. He sat down cross-legged, and three soul rings appeared around him. The gray-golden soul ring suddenly emitted a bright light.

Third Soul Ring, Heavenly Silkworm Transformation!

Huo Yuhao used his spiritual power to look inward. Under the effect of the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation, the various bloodline powers within him were clearly distinguished, appearing in distinct colors.

The silver-white color representing the Silver Dragon King's bloodline spread throughout his body.

There was also the Golden Dragon King's bloodline he had extracted but not absorbed.

The bloodline of the Ice Emperor's martial soul was condensed in the form of martial soul essence at his back.

This was one of the effects of the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation, it allowed bloodline power to manifest in a more concrete form, making it easier to absorb and fuse.

Looking at the three distinct bloodline powers within him, Huo Yuhao mobilized the power of his soul rings, using soul power as a guide to extract the Silver Dragon King's bloodline that had integrated into his body...

Huo Yuhao's face paled for a moment, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. But his expression remained calm.

The Eye of Life on his forehead opened, and the life force of the Life Gold flowed out, beginning to nourish and restore his body.

The process was quick. The Heavenly Silkworm Transformation's ability to absorb bloodline power was strong, and all the Silver Dragon King's bloodline was gathered to the location of the Ice Emperor's martial soul essence.

Looking at the condensed Silver Dragon King's bloodline, Huo Yuhao fell silent for a moment.

The amount was far greater than he had imagined...

"That's fine. If the Silver Dragon King's bloodline weren't strong enough and the Golden Dragon King's bloodline weren't too weak, I wouldn't dare attempt this."

With that thought in mind, he activated his soul power to guide the process, directly infusing the Golden Dragon King's extracted bloodline into the Silver Dragon King's.

Instantly, golden and silver lights clashed, each striving for dominance. Neither side yielded, as both sought to suppress the other in a fierce struggle.

However, such resistance was ultimately futile. Huo Yuhao's Silver Dragon King bloodline originated from a complete and pure source, making it significantly stronger than the fragmented Golden Dragon King's bloodline. Gradually, the silver light overwhelmed its golden counterpart.

Time passed, and after several hours, the golden radiance had been entirely consumed, leaving behind a small sphere of silver light that occasionally shimmered with faint, multicolored hues.

Yet, instability lingered. A sense of rejection permeated the sphere, as if the golden light within might break free at any moment.

Huo Yuhao, however, did not allow such an opportunity.

His third soul ring suddenly flared with a golden glow before merging into his body. In an instant, it transformed into a vortex resembling a black hole, manifesting before the Ice Empress' martial soul origin.

Without hesitation, it forcibly absorbed the residual bloodline energy, ensuring complete assimilation.
