Looking at that familiar long silver hair, Huo Yuhao was instantly overjoyed: "You regained consciousness?"
Yes, for more than a year, Gu Yuena had been curled up in the dragon cocoon, constantly devouring the Golden Dragon King essence through the Dragon God core. It was rare for her to wake up now.
Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at him grumpily: "You have God King realm spiritual power now. You can't squander it recklessly like before. That will cause certain sequelae to you."
Huo Yuhao knew this female dragon was caring about him, so he couldn't help chuckling. There was a Soul Spirit Contract between them. Any abnormalities happening to him could be sensed by her.
Of course, even if time restarted, he would do the same. It was now the critical moment to deal with Sea God Tang San, allowing no slack from him.
He instilled everything Tang San experienced ten thousand years ago, including his words and deeds, into the memories of most people coming to Mingdu in an objective and critical way.
Perhaps history is written by the victors, but some disgraceful deeds left by the victors in the world are not so easy to erase.
What he had to break first was the world's stereotyped memory of Sea God Tang San's perfect image.
Regarding deities, although one couldn't insult them verbally, it wasn't impossible to discuss privately.
Once faith collapsed, more and more similar remarks would spread throughout the continent, thereby destroying Sea God Tang San's legendary image on the Douluo Continent.
At that time, the Douluo Continent could no longer provide Tang San with the power of faith from living beings in the lower plane.
As for the Ice Sea, Huo Yuhao only needed to transmit the scene of the Sea Princess being forced to a desperate situation and self-destructing to save her daughter to a group of sea soul beasts, letting them know that the deity they believed in for countless years was just a hypocrite who would sacrifice his people for his own interests.
So Huo Yuhao was overconfident, covering the entire sea area with the spiritual link. As a result, he almost couldn't hold on on the way back.
"You are also stupid. Not every sea soul beast possesses wisdom. Forcibly controlling so many, are you looking for death?" Gu Yuena scolded, resentful towards iron not becoming steel.
"Do not fail to commit an act of kindness just because it is small." Huo Yuhao chuckled. Even sea soul beasts with the lowest wisdom possessed communication methods unique to their race. If only considering the high-wisdom class, the more massive number of low-level sea soul beasts could still provide a steady stream of faith to the Sea God.
"I can't even help you recover spiritual power now, only consolidate your spiritual sea for you. Leave the recovery to that woman who can fuse martial souls with you." Seeing him insist, Gu Yuena stopped persuading.
"Thank you." Huo Yuhao thanked sincerely, which was rare. Gu Yuena, or rather the Dragon Clan, was his only reliance to defeat Tang San's other god position, the Asura God. Unlike the Sea God possessing massive faith, the Asura God relied more on the God King's own willpower and conviction.
So Tang San rarely used the Asura God state, and sometimes even wished to transfer this power completely to Xiao Wu. But at critical moments, he couldn't bear to part with the Asura God's power to dominate judgment.
Even if Tang San was unwilling to admit it, the Asura God was undoubtedly a level higher than the Sea God.
If Tang San wanted to switch to the Asura God state freely, he must fuse with Xiao Wu. And Tang Hao was injected with Rakshasa evil thoughts by him when invading the Star Dou Great Ferocious Land last time. After returning, he couldn't hold back towards Xiao Wu...
Perhaps this is a point worth exploiting.
While Huo Yuhao was thinking this, Gu Yuena had already transmitted a lot of her spiritual origin through the Soul Spirit Contract, restoring some vitality to his dried-up spiritual sea.
"What are you doing!" Huo Yuhao's heart tightened. Gu Yuena was at the critical moment of absorbing the Golden Dragon King bloodline. Rashly consuming so much spiritual origin would cause problems in the subsequent devouring and fusion.
"What doing what? I just saw you pitiful and granted you some spiritual origin." Gu Yuena immediately put on an arrogant look, but her slightly flushed pretty face betrayed her psychological state.
"Absolutely, absolutely not wanting to help you!"
Before Huo Yuhao could reply, she unilaterally cut off the spiritual connection between the two.
"This woman..." Huo Yuhao shook his head. How could he not see that Gu Yuena wanted to help him with something? But her current condition might not be much better than his.
As the saying goes, the hardest blessing to accept is the grace of a beauty, especially a tsundere grace.
It's time to wake up, otherwise those little women will be worried sick.
Die Qiu and the others went to the competition. The Hongchen siblings were also preparing for the underground competition. Nana went to collect various intelligence. So who stayed by my side, Bibi Dong or Nan Shuishui?
Huo Yuhao quickly exited the spiritual sea. At this time, a voice also sounded at the right time.
"Huo Yuhao, this seat finally contacted you kid!"
"Mwah!"
Huo Yuhao kissed directly without thinking, instantly scaring that person into falling backwards, barely avoiding this kiss.
After seeing clearly that signature coffin face, Huo Yuhao's face also gradually turned green, like seeing a ghost.
"Did you take the wrong medicine, kid?" The God of Destruction in a purple robe looked shocked and undecided, stood up staggeringly, looking at Huo Yuhao as if looking at a monster.
"Uh, blegh... Kid greets God King of Destruction." Huo Yuhao suppressed the urge to vomit and greeted this God King with a twitching mouth corner.
Perhaps due to his weak spiritual power, unable to shield the Divine Realm's perception, the God of Destruction triggered the mark left by the God of Lust on him.
Then this thrilling scene appeared—
"Hmph, in my opinion, you kid must have had quite a romantic time recently." The God of Destruction glanced at him coldly and constantly moved backwards, trying to stay away from this guy.
"Does God King of Destruction have important matters to find me this time?" Huo Yuhao was about to say you know me too well, but he chose to talk business first.
"I always feel you kid are plotting something big, and trying every means to shield my perception. Tell me, where did you run off to during the year you disappeared?" From the tone of the God of Destruction, it could be heard that he seemed very dissatisfied with Huo Yuhao's previous behavior.
"What the kid seeks is just self-protection." Huo Yuhao chuckled: "God King of Destruction should know that Sea God Tang San rose on the Douluo Continent and has now become the nominal ruler of the Divine Realm. If he disregards face and goes down to the lower realm to hunt me down, even you have to scruple the central key in his hand."
The God of Destruction fell silent.
All along, facing Sea God Tang San's intensifying interference in the lower plane, most of the time he could only shout to stop or make sarcastic remarks from the side. To truly stop him, he must first seize the Divine Realm Center Key from his hand.
The new Kindness and Evil God Kings had easygoing personalities, standing on Tang San's side most of the time, and only had respect for him and the Goddess of Life based on deity seniority.
Once Tang San united with them through the Divine Realm Center to use the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms against him, even if more deities stood on his side, it wouldn't be enough at all.
"During this year, you should have hidden in the Dragon Realm maintained by the Dragon God's skeleton, right?" Thinking back and forth, the God of Destruction could only come to this conclusion.
"As expected of the first generation God of Destruction." Hearing his answer, Huo Yuhao couldn't help praising sincerely.
"The Divine Dragon Realm back then tried to achieve a Divine Star. As a result, the Dragon God and its Dragon Clan were sanctioned by the laws of the universe and fell. A large part of the broken Divine Dragon Realm became the current Divine Realm, and its own remains opened up a small world alone. Only the Divine Realm has been unable to obtain the coordinates of that small plane."
The God of Destruction continued: "At that time, this seat also saw the appearance of the Silver Dragon King. The two halves of the Dragon God gathered. Under the mutual attraction of those two bloodlines, the Dragon Realm can be found. A place that even Tang San's strength cannot forcibly break through must be that small world where the Dragon God's tomb is located."
Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. This God of Destruction wasn't stupid either. After so long, he indeed guessed something.
"Only when the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings devour each other can the Dragon God reappear. This seat asks you, which side has the upper hand now?" The God of Destruction stood with hands behind his back and asked lightly.
"Replying to God King, it's the Silver Dragon King." As things stood, Huo Yuhao didn't intend to hide anymore and answered truthfully.
"She can't become the Dragon God. Even if she does, she will only lose to the laws of the universe." The God of Destruction said with certainty.
Seeing Huo Yuhao still somewhat eager to try, the God of Destruction reminded: "Even the Dragon God at its peak failed. Even if another Dragon God appears in the declining Dragon Clan now, what can be changed? Be careful of backlash from the laws of the universe."
Seeing the God of Destruction so afraid of the laws of the universe, Huo Yuhao couldn't say much more.
He had witnessed a miracle, a miracle born by exhausting all primate lives of the entire plane.
Once he also tried to let the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena follow Lan Xuanyu's example, compromising to become the law enforcer of the cosmic will. That way Gu Yuena could survive after becoming the Dragon God.
Until he saw that law enforcer assimilated by the cosmic will—Planetary Destruction Deformed Species.
These were still too far from him. To this day, Tang San was still a big mountain pressing on his head, making him breathless.
"Regarding dealing with Tang San, I have a word, please listen quietly, God King of Destruction." Huo Yuhao brought the topic back at the right time.
"Tell me..."

"Match begins!"
On the other side, the competition was in full swing.
You Chen raised his hands to both sides of his body respectively. Two rays of light flashed, and a spike-like weapon appeared in each palm. Two yellow, three purple, five soul rings rose together.
The Bright Jade Sect was a soul engineer sect. Nan Qiuqiu naturally wouldn't underestimate the opponent because of their poor soul ring configuration.
You Chen's body suddenly appeared somewhat illusory accompanying the appearance of soul rings. Trailing a string of afterimages behind, his body rushed forward, crossing a distance of dozens of meters almost instantly. Without using any soul guide thrusters, he came to Nan Qiuqiu at an extremely fast speed. With spikes in both hands, one horizontal and one vertical, he suddenly drew a cross, sweeping towards Nan Qiuqiu.
Nan Qiuqiu raised her eyebrows. So fast! This person was actually not a soul power improvement type soul engineer, but an Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master.
Fortunately, her combat experience was also quite rich. Although somewhat surprised, her physical reaction was not slow at all. Taking a step forward, she activated the fifth soul skill Rouge Annihilation Sword to slash at the spikes in the opponent's hands, which were obviously soul guide weapons.
"Ding, ding." Amidst two crisp sounds, relying on the level advantage, Nan Qiuqiu forcibly shook off You Chen's next piercing attack.
"What strong attack power! All his soul tools should be just this pair of spikes. This is the true agility attack." Nan Qiuqiu's heart tightened. Facing herself with more abundant soul power, this You Chen actually didn't suffer any damage, but made her retreat half a step instead.
She had some admiration for this Bright Jade Sect member who developed towards the extreme. If any soul master wanted to become strong, then the first thing to do was to fully display their greatest advantages. Only in this way could they stand out and become stronger and stronger.
Sure enough, as Yuhao said, no team that could break into the round-robin stage was simple.
You Chen's speed was indeed too fast. In the instant Nan Qiuqiu had this thought, the third soul ring on his body lit up suddenly. Immediately after, his whole person seemed to split. The afterimages dragged out due to high speed before actually became real. With a split of his figure, he turned into seven paths, surrounding Wang Dong'er at the same time.
Nan Qiuqiu naturally wouldn't fall into a disadvantage because of the opponent's fierce offensive. The second soul ring shone brightly. Second Soul Skill, Annihilation Body Protection!
You Chen's seven figures had just closed inward, immediately bouncing out like getting an electric shock.
His reaction was indeed fast. Just at the moment his seven figures flew backwards, a huge pink light ball with a diameter of two meters suddenly emerged centered on Nan Qiuqiu's body.
Although Nan Qiuqiu hadn't followed Huo Yuhao's partners into the Dragon Realm to cultivate, she herself was the original captain of the Earth Dragon Gate and also the strongest of the original Earth Dragon Gate participating team.
You Chen obviously couldn't maintain those seven figures for a long time. After bouncing back suddenly, the seven figures merged into one instantly. Immediately after, he saw overwhelming Annihilation Light pouring towards him.
Under Nan Qiuqiu's control, it was like an overwhelming tsunami, sweeping directly towards You Chen.
You Chen retreated instantly. At this time, only by retreating could he dodge. Under the premise of high speed and extremely strong attack, his defense was really not good. Once hit by the opponent, he was basically done for.
On the contrary, he was more like an assassin, best at hiding in the dark. Sudden eruption would give people a fatal blow.
However, this was a competition after all. Being on the competition stage, naturally, there was nowhere to hide. While retreating, the afterimages appearing in his rapid speed were dragged out again.
However, how could the pouring Annihilation Light be so easily dodged? Without any hesitation, a layer of golden light shield suddenly burst out from You Chen. How dared he be hit by Nan Qiuqiu's power of annihilation!
The Invincible Barrier wasn't just the patent of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Their sect also had it. The moment the Invincible Barrier appeared, he was submerged by the huge wave formed by the Annihilation Light.
However, how long could the Invincible Barrier withstand the Annihilation Light?
"Stop!" Zheng Zhan appeared in front of You Chen in time, blocking Nan Qiuqiu's attack. You Chen, already submerged by annihilation energy, had no possibility of breaking free. This match was already over.
"Individual competition first match, Earth Dragon Gate wins." Zheng Zhan announced the result of the match very fairly. He also didn't expect that Nan Qiuqiu didn't win by relying on that armor this time.
Only Nan Qiuqiu herself knew that battle armor was external aid after all. If she always relied on the power given by Huo Yuhao and ignored the exertion of her own ability, that would be more loss than gain. What's more, facing an opponent whose soul power was far inferior to hers...

Bibi Dong looked closely at the young man beside her. Huo Yuhao was still sleeping very deeply, very deeply, with no intention of waking up, and his heartbeat was also stable.
She carefully checked Huo Yuhao's physical condition and confirmed he was fine. Taking out the medicine bottle given by Nan Shuishui, she put a pill into her mouth, then gently pressed against Huo Yuhao's lips, passing the liquid medicine over with her soft tongue.
There were no outsiders here. She didn't intend to hide their feelings for each other anymore. Huo Yuhao let her regain new life. What was there to be shy about between them?
Just then, a weak voice transmission suddenly sounded in her ear, "Let me... kiss Your Majesty again..."
