As long as the diary entry exceeds 1,000 characters, the reward can be claimed right after midnight the next day.
However, Huo Yuhao wasn't so impatient as to stay up all night. After finishing his journey and sleeping until he naturally woke up, he opened the diary again the next morning.
[Day 1 Diary Reward: 1. Soul Power +1 Level, 2. Death Necromancer God Martial Soul, 3. One Marrow Cleansing Pill]
Looking at the reward list displayed in the diary, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel his soul power increase. The fact that it had risen to level 11 made him quite pleased. Still, he immediately complained in the diary:
[Good grief! I mean seriously, good grief! Diary, you damn thing—now you're acting like a middleman trying to skim profits, huh? The Death Necromancer God Martial Soul was originally supposed to be given to me by Electrolux, but now the diary absorbs Electrolux's divine consciousness fragment and turns the god-level martial soul into a "reward" for me? Bastard! You really know how to play the game, huh?!]
As soon as Huo Yuhao wrote this, all the women who had a copy of the diary felt their books vibrate in their minds. They immediately opened it to check the contents.
Seeing Huo Yuhao furiously ranting in the diary, they all couldn't help but chuckle—but some still managed to extract crucial information.
"If I'm not mistaken, that million-year soul beast named Skydream Iceworm gave Huo Yuhao his second martial soul. And now with this reward—the Death Necromancer God Martial Soul—doesn't that mean Huo Yuhao is the first ever tri-martial soul holder in the history of Douluo Continent?"
"So this is what the golden child of destiny on Douluo Continent is really worth, huh?"
While the diary holders were in awe, Huo Yuhao finally noticed the notes under the rewards section.
[Note: Write over 1,000 characters in the diary daily to receive a fixed one-level soul power boost. (One level per day below Soul King rank; rewards scale accordingly above Soul King level.)]
[Note: Continued diary writing over specific periods will grant additional rewards (7 days, half-month, 1 month...), including but not limited to soul power, soul rings, and soul bones. The longer the streak, the higher the chance for high-value rewards.]
[Note: More functions will unlock after recording enough diary entries.]
"Damn, this diary is terrifyingly powerful!"
Huo Yuhao gasped, helping accelerate climate change on Douluo Continent with his breath intake, then mentally jotted down a new entry:
[I was reckless! Sorry, dear diary—I admit I was a bit loud earlier.]
[Seriously though, just the fact that below Soul King I can gain one soul power level per day by writing 1,000 words is already broken. Even above Soul King, the reward is still based on that scale. Diary, you're too damn awesome!]
[At this rate, I'll be a Soul King in just over a month. I mean, come on—does anyone understand how insane it is to be a twelve-year-old Soul King?!]
[Honestly, I'm kinda not feeling like going to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy anymore. With the diary, all I have to do is write every day and I'll be invincible eventually!]
At the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Meng Hongchen and Juzi had just been shocked by the idea that Huo Yuhao could go from level 11 to level 50 in barely a month.
Now, seeing that he suddenly might abandon the plan to join their academy, that shock quickly turned to panic.
"No, Huo Yuhao! How can you not come? The Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy needs you!"
In that moment, the exact same thought flashed through both Meng Hongchen and Juzi's minds.
A second later, the diary updated again, and what they read made them both breathe a deep sigh of relief.
[Fine, fine. I'll stick to the plan and enroll at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.]
[After all, based on my analysis, my emergence as the Child of Destiny isn't just to help Douluo Continent break free from the oppressive grip of the Divine Realm. It's also to stop the endless infighting among its people.]
[Instead of dividing into separate nations constantly at war, wouldn't it be better for the entire continent to work together toward a single goal? With the Sun Moon Empire as the "meta choice," plus me as the Child of Destiny—unless someone cheats with god-tier tech—I don't see how we can lose!]
Seeing this, Meng Hongchen and Juzi both relaxed. But the two princesses from the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire were visibly upset when they read that Huo Yuhao considered the Sun Moon Empire the "meta choice."
"Why the hell is the Sun Moon Empire the meta choice? The Star Luo Empire (Heaven Dou Empire) is just as good, okay?!"
Vina was more composed—after all, Huo Yuhao had never had anything to do with the Heaven Dou Empire.
But Xu Jiujiu was another story. She had already investigated Huo Yuhao's identity and knew he was Duke Dai Hao's third son.
However, because his mother had been cruelly oppressed and Dai Hao basically acted like Huo Yuhao didn't exist, never once acknowledging or helping them, there was no familial affection—only deep hatred.
Now, this boy, the Child of Destiny, had decided to join the Sun Moon Empire without hesitation.
Xu Jiujiu clenched her teeth in frustration and muttered:
"It's all that bastard Dai Hao's fault!"
Just as she was about to curse out Duke Dai Hao, the diary updated again, diverting her attention entirely.
[Of course, while changing Douluo Continent, we can't forget about soul beasts either.]
[Seriously, the way soul masters and soul beasts interact in this world is just messed up. To break through bottlenecks in soul power, you literally have to hunt and kill soul beasts for rings. I don't know of many worlds where this is a thing!]
[I suspect this messed-up setup was deliberately influenced by the Divine Realm—they don't want humans and soul beasts coexisting peacefully and growing stronger together.]
[To the will of Douluo Continent as a plane, both humans and soul beasts are part of it. Naturally, it doesn't want this situation to go on forever.]
[Part of the reason I, the Child of Destiny, came into existence is definitely to help change this reality.]
[And as for how to change it—I already have a preliminary idea. Once my strength is high enough, I'll refine the idea and spread it across the world.]
[With the diary giving me daily rewards, I believe that day won't be far off!]
By the Lake of Life in the heart of Star Dou Forest, Silver Dragon King and Three-Eyed Golden Lion were fully focused on the diary.
When they saw Huo Yuhao's intention to reform human-soul beast relations, they couldn't help but grow excited.
Unfortunately, the diary entry ended there—they had no idea what Huo Yuhao's plan actually was.
Silver Dragon King's huge eyes flickered with frustration as she growled:
"Keep updating, human! What's the rest of the plan?!"
