Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 135: The Arrival of Wang Dong
"So, since you said that, you must have a way to help me solve the problem of my lifespan," Golden Tortoise asked.
Although Huo Yuhao revealed his human identity, the Golden Tortoise was not a fool. He sensed that this human boy was extraordinary and, in a sense, had saved his life. Therefore, he still addressed him as "you."
Huo Yuhao did not deny: "Of course, there is a way, but you need to go with me."
The Golden Tortoise hesitated. "Go? You mean, go outside the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Yes, outside the Star Dou Great Forest. If you want, I can take you away now."
Electrolux has the Undead Demiplane, which can contain living beings.
Naturally, the Golden Tortoise could also be placed inside it. He planned to ask Electrolux about the Demiplane later. As for how he knew about it—well, everything was due to the premonitions of the gods.
Tang San can foresee that something bad will happen in the God Realm, so it's reasonable for him to foresee the Undead Demiplane!
Huo Yuhao believed that transporting the Golden Tortoise into an undead was beneficial. After all, the other party wouldn't live long; becoming undead would greatly extend his lifespan.
Of course, the undead have methods to maintain their sanity, allowing them to command an army of subordinates. This Golden Tortoise is at least a hundred thousand years old as a soul beast, and after being turned into an undead, its strength wouldn't be weak.
The Golden Tortoise hesitated. As a soul beast, it still harbored doubts about going to an unfamiliar human world. You know, the human world is extremely dangerous for soul beasts.
Di Tian once launched a beast tide to attack Shrek City. Although the soul beasts retreated to the Star Dou Great Forest later, many were injured or killed in battle.
The Golden Tortoise clan is born with an auspicious aura to protect their bodies, which is considered a sign of good luck.
Therefore, they generally do not participate in the so-called beast tide. But learning that many soul beasts were injured or killed in battle left a lasting impression: "The human world is extremely dangerous."
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao immediately used the first soul skill of his Spirit Eyes martial soul to connect with the Golden Tortoise and sent a voice message, beginning to explain matters related to spirit souls and the undead.
Huo Yuhao couldn't tell Qiu'er about the undead yet; after all, the undead resemble the methods used by evil soul masters.
Whether among humans or soul beasts, evil soul masters are deeply unpopular—they're like rats crossing the street, and everyone wants to beat them.
So, Huo Yuhao decided to wait until Qiu'er's trust in him deepened before revealing the details about the undead.
As for the Golden Tortoise, he believed it would agree because, according to the original story, the Golden Tortoise truly wished to continue existing in this world. Otherwise, a dignified hundred-thousand-year soul beast would have no reason to become Xu Sanshi's spirit soul.
After all, even if Di Tian knew that the Golden Tortoise had stolen the Life Gold, would he still kill it for that? Remember, this is the Golden Tortoise with 100,000 years of cultivation. The auspicious aura on its body has become quite strong. As long as the Golden Tortoise remains alive, it's beneficial to the soul beasts in the stars.
Although it's not as useful as the auspicious beast, it still holds considerable value.
After listening to Huo Yuhao's explanations, the Golden Tortoise gradually understood his intentions and nodded. "Okay, then I will leave with you."
It still wants to stay in this world a little longer, and Huo Yuhao's plan fits perfectly with its wishes. Although Huo Yuhao mentioned that spirit souls can be inherited, the Golden Tortoise feels that rather than being passed down randomly, it has a future with him.
"Okay," Huo Yuhao nodded. "Then let's leave now."
He began communicating with Electrolux in the Spiritual Sea.
After a while, he received the inheritance of the Undead Demiplane. For Electrolux, passing this inheritance to Huo Yuhao—his only student—was entirely normal.
He hadn't given it to him earlier, not because he wanted to test him, but because he hesitated whether to grant this inheritance. After all, those undead differ from the undead of evil soul masters. If they appeared in this world, there could be unknown consequences.
However, considering Huo Yuhao's character, Electrolux decided to entrust the Undead Demiplane to him. He believed Huo Yuhao would use this power wisely.
Of course, Huo Yuhao couldn't open the Undead Gate in front of Qiu'er now. He planned to find a secret place to open it and place the Golden Tortoise inside.
At this moment, Electrolux's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea: "Yuhao, Wang Dong is heading toward Di Qiu'er. You need to be careful; she is only about a thousand meters away from Di Qiu'er."
Wang Dong is coming?
Huo Yuhao's heart tightened. Could it be that the other party came to obtain the soul ring?
No, even if it's for the soul ring, she wouldn't come in the direction of Di Qiu'er. So, her true intentions must be different.
He looked at Di Qiu'er nearby, pondering whether Tang San still wanted to use Wutong's soul fragments to occupy the auspicious beast's body. That's very likely—after all, the Golden Dragon Spear and Star Dou Great Forest's Luck are valuable items.
Of course, Tang San undertook this to test his feelings.
In the original story, Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er, and Huo Yuhao all suffered emotional damage because of Tang San's manipulations, which left a very bad impression on him when he read the novel.
But considering that Tang San could even cut his daughter's soul and create such a difficult emotional test, it seemed consistent with his character.
He always felt that Huo Yuhao's spirit in the original novel was gradually worn down by the emotional trials designed by Tang San. After all, Dong'er was sleeping, and Qiu'er was sacrificed, which directly caused great damage to Huo Yuhao's heart.
Therefore, he planned to have Electrolux make arrangements to protect Qiu'er. It would take time to open the Gate of the Dead, and now it was too late.
In the original story, Tang San's consciousness was indeed in Wang Dong's body, but he only released fragments of Wutong's soul. Electrolux was confident he could only confront Wutong's soul fragments.
Honestly, unless Wang Dong is about to face spiritual or physical harm, Tang San cannot arbitrarily attack others' lives. This is a restriction imposed by the rules of the God Realm.
Since Hypnos, the God of Killing, went down to enforce the law without permission from the God Realm Committee, restrictions on divine descent have increased. Even Tang San cannot violate these rules.
Of course, as a law-enforcement god, Tang San might have ways to forcibly descend into the mortal realm, but doing so would damage his reputation as the pure and innocent God King Tang.
