"Yuhao, I know you've always been very opinionated, but Yunhan, Siting, and Maron are simply too young..." Cui Yajie also rarely questioned Huo Yuhao. No matter how understanding she used to be, now she was a mother.
At this moment, even Zhongli Yu, who loved Huo Yuhao to her bones, revealed an unbearable look when she looked at the three children.
"Yuhao, how about we just let them hide..." Bibi Dong thought for a moment and resolutely decided to open her mouth.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao could only sigh softly. "You all know from me what the original timeline was like. Then, can Yunhan really hide and escape from it?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
At the end of the Peerless Tang Sect story, Tang San used Huo Yunhan's life as a threat to force Ju Zi to withdraw her troops, making the continent revert to the situation of ten thousand years ago where the two great empires confronted each other.
Although this move briefly maintained peace, overall it was still a regression of civilization.
The rise of a great nation is inevitably accompanied by war and expansion. A short period of rest and recuperation will only make the future situation even more uncontrollable.
Everyone knows the story that followed. The Sun Moon Empire, renamed Heaven Dou, ultimately won, driving the fading Star Luo Empire out of the territory. Under the governance of a generation's great lord, Huo Yunhan, the country experienced unprecedented prosperity and gradually evolved into the Douluo Federation of the Dragon King's Legend era, a federal state with a parliament composed of nobles.
Even in such a country, the young Tang Wulin still lost his family's fortune for a defective Soul Spirit, which could also be understood as Tang San lifting a stone only to drop it on his own foot.
Therefore, Huo Yunhan was still an inevitable tool that the Tang family would use for the divine-right nobles to rule the plane.
Even if Huo Yunhan was hidden away, in order to force history back on track, Tang San would still find a way to make Ju Zi and Huo Yuhao have a child, a child named Xu Yunhan.
Wouldn't that still be Huo Yuhao and Ju Zi's child?
"My main body and Gu Yuena have already defeated Dragon God Tang Xuanyu, and we will return to Douluo starting today. Rest assured." Seeing everyone silent, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to speak up and comfort them.
"You defeated the Dragon God?" The Beast God Di Tian on the side was instantly dumbfounded. Logically speaking, even if both sides had a Dragon God of equal combat power, it shouldn't be that easy to deal with the other party, right?
"Mmhmm, very basic mathematical principles. One equals one. One plus zero point one can be greater than one." Huo Yuhao nodded. The final piece of information he received was that his main body had defeated Tang Xuanyu.
"Then..." Cui Yajie gritted her teeth. "Since your main body can rush back, even if I have to risk this life, I will stall until you and Gu Yuena return!"
"...Alright." Huo Yuhao knew what she meant. She simply didn't want Huo Siting to go to the battlefield.
However, what everyone didn't know was that Huo Yuhao already had additional thoughts in his heart...
Soon, the agreed-upon time was approaching.
Fire Dragon King Jialin was the first to spread her dragon wings, and Ma Xiaotao beside her also spread her phoenix wings.
"Let's go." Long Aotian tapped the Sea God Trident on the ground and then stood up.
"Mom, this time, I will live and die with you." Qian Renxue tightly grabbed Bibi Dong's sleeve, insisting stubbornly.
"Let's fight to our hearts' content!" This time, Ji Juechen did not hold his sword, but tightly grasped Jing Ziyan's hand, his expression impassioned.
Zhang Lexuan tied her long hair up high and put on the inherited Super Divine Tool, the Heart of Kindness.
Nanmen Yun'er: "I will absolutely not retreat!"
Ning Tian: "Betting my life on it."
Wu Feng: "Let's fuck them up!"
...
Under the gaze of hundreds of millions of people, dozens of streaks of light shot into the sky from the former Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, piercing straight through the clouds.
Even sharp-eyed people saw a few children among them!
Everyone's face flushed red—Huo Yuhao and his partners really went, for the future of the continent!
A feeling of extreme humiliation spread in everyone's heart. They could only watch helplessly as these young people, who had brought beauty to the continent, resolutely marched to their deaths!
"We also have things we can do!"
"We absolutely will not let our leader fight alone!"
"Faith, they need faith!"
"For the Eden Alliance, for tomorrow!"
A scene that had never appeared throughout the ages unfolded—
Almost the entire continent was praying for Demon King Huo Yuhao and his companions, sending their blessings.
Neither they themselves nor the most advanced soul tools could climb above the atmosphere. They could only cheer Huo Yuhao's group on in this way.
People's cultivation bases might vary in strength, but faith knows no such distinctions.
The voices that once sang the praises of Sea God Tang San all fell upon Huo Yuhao and his companions at this moment.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The people will remember everyone who pleads on their behalf. Only by emerging from the masses can one gain the support and recognition of the public.
This is an immutable truth!
All the partners rapidly flying upward could feel the devout blessings and prayers from the hundreds of millions of citizens below!
"Mom, there are so many, so many voices..." Huo Yunhan kept his small face tense, fighting hard not to let his tears fall.
Just last night, Huo Yuhao told him that he would definitely be able to protect his mother well. So, he followed without any cowardice. Although he was being carried into the sky by Zhongli Yu, there was not a trace of timidity in his heart at this moment.
"Yunhan, don't be afraid. Mother Yu'er won't let you suffer any harm," Zhongli Yu comforted softly. Because of her martial soul, she and Huo Yuhao did not yet have a child of their own, but she had long treated Huo Yunhan, Huo Siting, and the others as her own children.
"Mother Yu'er, Yunhan will also protect you!" Huo Yunhan said stubbornly.
"Good, good, good. But later, when the fighting starts, you still have to call yourself Gu Han, do you understand?" Until this moment, Zhongli Yu was still thinking about how to preserve the safety of Huo Yunhan and the other juniors. Just like Huo Yunhan, Huo Yuhao's other children also took their mothers' surnames when outside. To their large family, surnames were actually no longer particularly important.
"Alright." Huo Yunhan/Gu Han nodded. He was very smart. He clearly knew why Zhongli Yu and Ju Zi told him not to reveal his true surname to the outside world.
Even so, he was Huo Yuhao's son, the eldest brother to all his younger brothers and sisters, and he had to protect everything he cherished!
At the end of tens of thousands of meters in altitude, the sea of stars was brilliant. Countless figures had already been waiting for a long time on a field constructed from mental power.
And the person at the head held a Golden Trident, a head of azure-blue long hair moving without any wind, a light of annihilation flashing in his eyes.
The Sea God of the main space-time, Tang San!
Watching the mighty and vast group of people appear, Emotion God King Dai Yuhao, standing at the very front, had the most complex look in his eyes.
Ma Xiaotao, Ji Juechen, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Ju Zi, Zhang Lexuan... these were all his acquaintances from back then! Yet now, they were standing opposite him one by one, each having inherited a powerful god position.
What was worse was that Huo Yunhan was actually among them!
Dai Yuhao subconsciously stole a glance at Tang Wutong beside him, only to find that the other party was also looking at him with a face full of anger at this moment.
What is this all about?
Dai Yuhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still hoped to fulfill his last bit of friendship and resolve all problems peacefully.
Just as he walked towards the crowd, a few more figures rose from the Douluo Continent—
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's group couldn't help but turn their heads to look, and instantly, all their faces were filled with astonishment.
"Fatty?"
