Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 139 Tang San's Conspiracy (Part 2)

Niu Tian felt something was wrong the more he thought about it, and the result became clearer and clearer, but it was also a little frightening.

Wang Dong'er is protected by Tang San's power. Ordinary gods would turn their heads and leave upon seeing her, let alone their subordinates' restrictions.

And since it wasn't a divine method, it couldn't escape his notice. Looking at it this way, could the restriction really have been placed by Tang San?
After all, no god would be so foolish as to lay a hand on the daughter of a god-king.

Niu Tian felt a chill run down his spine. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: he had just gone astray. Placing a restriction was not necessarily harmful; it could also serve a protective purpose.

As a father, Tang San would certainly not be at ease letting his daughter venture into the mortal realm, so it was only natural for him to add some protective restrictions to his mind.

The so-called rejection reaction to the soul tool is likely just an unexpected effect caused by the restriction.

Upon realizing this, Niu Tian felt a sense of relief. The truth must be just like this... right?

Seeing that Wang Dong'er still looked dejected, Niu Tian immediately comforted her, "Don't worry, Xiao Dong, I'll discuss it with your second father later and see if we can find a solution."

Upon hearing this, Titan chimed in, "Don't worry, Xiaodong, it shouldn't be a big problem. Just leave it to your second father."

Upon hearing Titan's confident assurance, Niu Tian's expression stiffened as he recalled his previous analysis.

The next second, Titan felt an extremely unfriendly gaze fall on him, and he was immediately puzzled, wondering what he had said wrong again.

"Really? Uncle and Uncle, you are so kind!" Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er immediately showed a bright smile and said with surprise.

"Alright, alright, let's eat first." Looking at the cheerful Wang Dong'er, Niu Tian suppressed his worries and said gently.

In the realm of gods, as Theon crushed the rhombus-shaped gem given to him by Tang San, several surrounding magic arrays began to function.

Mingdu, Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

It was nighttime, a time when Huo Yumiao usually meditated. With the help of various precious pills provided by Elder Guan, which were mainly for strengthening the body and nourishing the vital energy, his cultivation speed was quite remarkable.

He had already completely absorbed Meng Hongchen's soul power and transformed it into his own. Just as Bingdi had predicted, he broke through to the level 38 mark once again.

Huo Yumiao was confident that within four months at most, his soul power would reach level 40 and enter the ranks of Soul Master.

Once he becomes a Soul Master, his combat power will rise to another level. When he fights Xiao Hongchen again, he won't need to use Ice Emperor's Fury. After attribute plundering, any Soul Skill he uses will be enough to give his opponent a hard time.

Even if Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were to face Huo Yumiao together, he was confident he could put up a fight. As long as he controlled the match and prevented them from unleashing their Martial Soul Fusion Technique or found a way to evade Hongchen's Affection, he would be invincible.

For a Soul Master with an ultimate Martial Soul, this speed is terrifying; it only takes less than half a year to go from Soul Venerable to Soul Sect Master.

But only those within the family know their own situation. When Huo Yumiao reconstructed her body, she was already at level 33. In less than a month, she first broke through to level 37 under the influence of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

She later absorbed a portion of Meng Hongchen's soul power to reach level thirty-eight. To be honest, the actual effort Huo Yumiao put in during that time was less than one-tenth, and probably not even half.

Although it was Huo Yumiao's regular meditation time, he wasn't meditating or cultivating; instead, he was consolidating his soul power cultivation.

Although the boost from the Myriad Years of Profound Ice Marrow and the Soul Power from Devouring Dream of the Mortal World had no side effects, it was not something Huo Yumiao had accumulated over time, so she couldn't control it as easily as she pleased.

Huo Yumiao is currently in a stage where her foundation is unstable due to her rapid improvement. She needs to settle down for a while to familiarize herself with her soul power and let the extra soul power become familiar with her.

Just as Huo Yumiao was immersed in stabilizing his soul power, a golden pillar of light enveloped him. The golden light it emitted looked so gentle, yet it made people afraid to get close.

An indescribable sacred and vast aura spread outwards, and Huo Yumiao, who was radiant under the light, seemed to be imbued with a noble aura that did not belong to this world.

Huo Yumiao suddenly opened her closed eyes and looked at the golden light that was everywhere around her. Her mind was blank for a moment, and then she immediately became alert and wanted to get up to observe, but found that she was completely unable to move as if she had been frozen in place.

Suddenly, Hyotei's voice echoed in his mind, filled with uncontrollable ecstasy and shock: "It's a god! This is the power of a deity!"

Upon hearing Ice Emperor's words, Huo Yumiao felt no joy, but instead became even more vigilant.

He wasn't like those natives of Douluo Continent who regarded the gods of the God Realm as supreme beings and held them in the highest esteem.

He knew that these so-called gods were nothing more than beings with a more complex power system, who could live forever under the influence of divine power.

Even when faced with a sufficiently powerful fixed-position soul-guided cannon, these guys still have to retreat and face the same risk of death as ordinary soul masters.

Most importantly, he is a time traveler, which is completely different from the natives of Douluo Continent, and it is a secret that he absolutely cannot let anyone discover.

However, Huo Yumiao knew that with his current strength, he had no chance of resisting the gods, and no one could protect him now.

He knew that the rules in the divine realm that restricted gods from interfering in the mortal world were all nonsense. If a god wanted to, all he needed was a pretext to test his successor to start a bloody war in the mortal world.

Wait, the successor?
Huo Yumiao's mind raced. When a deity approached her, most people would only think of divine succession.

His main concern was his identity as a transmigrator, but putting that aside, Huo Yumiao couldn't think of any other reason.

So, if his identity as a transmigrator hadn't been discovered, then he was... chosen by some deity?
Although Huo Yumiao had many thoughts in her mind, it took less than a second for her to realize them to the outside world.

He did not try to continue controlling his body, but instead quietly observed everything around him, waiting for the mysterious deity's next move.

Meanwhile, Ice Emperor, who had called out to Huo Yumiao several times in her spiritual sea without receiving a response, also snapped out of her surprise and excitement.

Although she hadn't spent much time with Huo Yumiao, less than a year, she was practically inseparable from her every moment while staying in her spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

At least the Ice Emperor believed that he had a certain understanding of Huo Yumiao's character and style of doing things, and that the word "meticulous" was the most appropriate way to describe her.

Furthermore, since she was in the spiritual sea of ​​consciousness closely connected to Huo Yumiao's soul, she could clearly sense Huo Yumiao's intense vigilance.

Although she didn't know why Huo Yumiao behaved this way when the gods descended, Bingdi became alert as well, based on her understanding and trust in Huo Yumiao.

Theon, who was observing from the shadows, was a little surprised. He had originally intended to descend directly, but his interest suddenly piqued, and he wanted to see the psychological qualities of the candidate in front of him.

In his eyes, Huo Yumiao was just a twelve-year-old child. He had anticipated many reactions, but none of them were like this. He didn't sense any fear or panic from her, which was indeed a bit unexpected.

Seeing Huo Yumiao like this, Xi En became interested and stopped being silent. He raised his hand and pulled Huo Yumiao into his mental world.

Huo Yumiao felt a blur before his eyes, and when his vision cleared again, he saw a handsome young man dressed entirely in gray standing in front of him. Judging from his appearance alone, he looked to be in his early twenties.

"who are you?"

Upon seeing this, Huo Yumiao slowly spoke. He couldn't find any matching appearance information in his mind, which meant that this might be a deity that had never appeared in the original work.

Huo Yumiao used the honorific title without hesitation. As she always said, while it's fun to joke around, one must not be disrespectful in front of a powerful person.

As the saying goes, the fantasy world essentially has only three realms: the senior realm, the fellow Daoist realm, and the ant realm.

He may look down on the gods in the divine realm, but until he becomes powerful enough to overturn the table, he must maintain a humble attitude towards anyone stronger than himself.

"My name is Theon, uh, I am a god." Seeing Huo Yumiao's calm expression, Theon abandoned his previous plan to coax the child and spoke directly.

"Huo Yumiao, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. The reason I came to you is to bestow upon you a divine inheritance."

Although Tang San's words did not explicitly express his attitude towards Huo Yumiao, it seemed that he was merely using her as a cover to achieve his goal.

However, adhering to the principle of avoiding trouble, and considering that the other party is inheriting a second-level god position of the same rank as himself, there might be opportunities for mutual assistance in the future.

Furthermore, since the Phantom God was entrusted by his friend, Theon treated Huo Yumiao with great gentleness.

"So it's Senior Theon. May I ask what your divine position is?"

Huo Yumiao was not surprised that Theon could call her by name. If he couldn't even do that, then he would really have to doubt the authenticity of this god.

“I am the God of the Sky, but what I want to give you is the inheritance of another god.” Theon thought Huo Yumiao thought he was going to pass on his position, so he immediately explained.

He wasn't done being the God of the Sky yet; he planned to complete the task Tang San assigned him and then return to undergo a divine tempering ceremony to become the most esteemed first-level god below the God King of the God Realm.

"You have two godhoods?" Huo Yumiao looked at Xi En in surprise, not expecting that there was someone besides Tang San who could have two godhoods.

Huo Yumiao subconsciously began to analyze. Several god-kings were named and appeared in the original work, while the other party was at most one or two first-level god positions.

However, we cannot rule out the possibility of beings like the ancient Ice God, who possess the strength of a God-King but are only at the first level.

Thinking of the ancient Ice God, Huo Yumiao couldn't help but think of Tang San, the guy who was still plotting a grand plan for ten thousand years in the God Realm, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Tang San's goal is to absorb Huo Yuhao's destiny, and he is even willing to give away his own daughter to achieve this goal.

In the original story, the other party also obtained Huo Yun'er's soul and resurrected her as another chain to bind Huo Yuhao.

Therefore, as Huo Yuhao's older brother, Tang San would definitely not let him go and would try every means to control him.

Tang San would never allow his grand plan of ten thousand years to be affected, so he most likely wouldn't let other gods get involved, unless it was to control the god's inheritance of the target.

Just as Huo Yuhao obtained the position of God of Emotions from Rong Nianbing, Tang San will also have another deity pass on the position to Huo Yumiao.

In other words, the current Theon is very likely Tang San's doing, it's almost a certainty. Huo Yumiao believes that with Tang San's strength, he can make some gods ignore the Douluo plane.

"No, you misunderstand. I am not a dual-god. The godhood I am going to give you is the one that belongs to a friend of mine. He asked me to find an excellent successor, so I found you."

For various reasons, Theon was very patient with Huo Yumiao.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yumiao's assessment of Xi En's strength plummeted. Judging from this, he was at most a first-level god.

Huo Yumiao didn't show these emotions; he still wanted to test whether the other party was indeed sent by Tang San, as he suspected.

"Since you are also a god, you must know Senior Tang San, the Sea God, right? He ascended to the God Realm from Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago and is the most powerful god."

Huo Yumiao deliberately put on an act of great admiration for Tang San, taking the opportunity to observe Xi En's reaction.

Theon certainly wouldn't be wary of a twelve-year-old child, even if the child seemed precocious.

However, those in positions of power inevitably view those in positions of power with a sense of superiority, just as Huo Yumiao, as a transmigrator, viewed the natives of Douluo Continent.

These deities see that people in the mortal realm also have this kind of mentality. It's instinctive; after all, once they possess near-overwhelming "power," their perspective changes.

Theon thought that Tang San couldn't possibly have randomly chosen someone to inherit the godhood. The other person would most likely be his colleague in the future, so there was no harm in talking about it.

Moreover, whether he knew Tang San or not was nothing shameful, so Xi En answered Huo Yumiao without hesitation.

However, Theon did not use honorifics, after all, he had just established his god-like status in front of Huo Yumiao, and he was too embarrassed to lower himself.

"Of course I know him, Tang San... Your reputation is quite renowned in the God Realm, and we have a good relationship."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yumiao knew that everything was settled. The sudden appearance of Theon, who claimed to be giving him the divine throne, must be closely related to Tang San.

This person is most likely a henchman of Tang San, and his strength is probably not strong. He is most likely not even a first-level god, but a third-level god is not impossible.

After all, Tang San wouldn't allow someone who might be beyond his control to interfere with his grand plan for destiny.

Having thought this through, Huo Yumiao had basically obtained most of the information she was able to get from him, and could now get down to business.

"Senior Theon, may I ask which god you are referring to as the divine lineage?"
