Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 56: Persuading the Ice Empress

“Human, what is it? You can speak now.” Mist surged before Huo Yuhao, and the figure of the Snow Empress appeared there.

“Snow Empress, did you obtain a ten-thousand-year snow lotus? And are you planning to use its essence of heaven and earth to reconstruct yourself as a human?” Huo Yuhao asked leisurely.

The Ice Empress was shocked upon hearing this. Spiritual herbs over ten thousand years old were already precious, and the Snow Empress had already cultivated to her current realm. If a ten-thousand-year snow lotus could truly allow the Snow Empress to reconstruct herself as a human, that would be heaven-defying.

The Ice Empress didn't know about the ten-thousand-year snow lotus, so she couldn't have told Huo Yuhao. How did Huo Yuhao know? The Ice Empress found it strange. She didn't believe that the former Huo Yuhao had the ability to enter and exit the far north.

“How did you know?” The Snow Empress stared at Huo Yuhao without blinking, as if trying to see something in his eyes. Her tone revealed neither joy nor anger. But Huo Yuhao knew that if he didn't give a proper explanation, this seemingly good-tempered big sister might turn hostile.

Huo Yuhao smiled but didn't answer directly. Instead, he continued, “You're right, the ten-thousand-year snow lotus can indeed allow you to reconstruct yourself as a human. I also know that on the day you reconstruct yourself as a human, you will encounter a human Titled Douluo.”

“Then you will be captured by him using a level-nine soul tool. He will take you to the auction house to be auctioned off. Finally, you will fall into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire, and amidst the struggle between the two forces, you will detonate your origin in defiance of humiliation.”

“What do you mean by all this? Are you trying to say that you can predict the future? Do you think I would believe that?” The Snow Empress looked at Huo Yuhao calmly, seemingly unaffected.

The Ice Empress, with her slower reaction, was a little dazed. Three questions arose in her mind: What's going on? Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

“Perhaps I really can predict the future. Moreover, I can also tell you that when you detonated your origin, I was also at the scene. It was the Ice Empress who saved your last remaining fragment of origin.”

At this moment, Huo Yuhao gave off a profound and unpredictable feeling. To put it bluntly, he was acting a bit pretentious, which made the Ice and Snow Empresses want to hit him.

He continued, “You can believe these things, or you can not believe them. It doesn't matter. But I can tell you that the path you've chosen is a dead end.”

The Snow Empress didn't speak, only stared straight at Huo Yuhao. Her gaze seemed to say, 'Please continue your performance.'

Big sister, you're not playing by the rules. Shouldn't you be asking me why?

Huo Yuhao felt a little awkward, like he was asking and answering himself. But he could only continue, “A long time ago, the God Realm no longer allowed soul beasts to become gods. There were exceptions, but even then, the wife of the Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago, the transformed Soft Bone Rabbit, although she became a god, she didn't have a god position and only depended on Tang San.”

“Snow Empress, you are very powerful, but not powerful enough. Even if you become a god, the God Realm will send a god officer to the lower realm to kill you.”

“You should understand that even if you reconstruct yourself as a human, it won't work, because you still regard yourself as a part of the soul beasts. Therefore, the God Realm will not tolerate you.”

These few short sentences completely shattered the Snow Empress's peace of mind. She had a premonition that what Huo Yuhao said was true. Moreover, she also sensed that this world seemed to be targeting them soul beasts.

Time and again, the increasingly powerful heavenly tribulations made the Snow Empress despair. The road ahead was uncertain, and if transforming into a human was also a dead end, then what should she do?

Huo Yuhao also sighed inwardly. It wasn't easy for soul beasts to survive. Soul beasts like the Snow Empress would only die under increasingly powerful heavenly tribulations. And if they transformed and reconstructed themselves as humans, the God Realm still wouldn't allow them to become gods. Even Tang San's wife, Xiao Wu, was only the scabbard of the Asura Sword and didn't have any real power in the God Realm.

After a long silence, the Snow Empress's clear and cold voice broke the stillness. “So, I can only wait for death? Or, like Bing'er, become your soul ring?”

Meeting the Snow Empress's pair of sky-blue eyes, Huo Yuhao felt like he was stripped naked and seen through completely. However, he didn't mind and knew that it was just an illusion caused by the huge difference in strength.

“I very much hope that you can join us. You should know that what I said is not alarmist.” Huo Yuhao didn't deny it but admitted it openly.

“You said when the time is right? What does that mean?”

Huo Yuhao smiled. The Snow Empress was not easy to fool, unlike the simple-minded Ice Empress.

When the time is right… This made people feel unreliable. There was a lot of room for manipulation. In short, Huo Yuhao had all the rights to interpret it.

However, Huo Yuhao really didn't have any other thoughts. He explained to the Snow Empress, “Just as I said before, the God Realm is very repulsed by soul beasts. If I revive you too early, then you and I will be suppressed. So even if I reach the God Realm, I won't be able to revive you immediately.”

“Only after I have established a firm foundation in the God Realm and have full wings can I help you. Of course, I can also boast to you, but I don't want to do that. We are partners, we are comrades. Some things cannot be concealed.”

“Partners? You are a human, and we are soul beasts. The two races have always been opposed. Why do you think we can become partners?” The Snow Empress stared straight at Huo Yuhao with a hint of pressure.

“Snow Empress, I can feel that you hate humans very much because we hunt soul beasts, right? But have you ever thought about what the situation of humans was like before soul masters were born? We were food for soul beasts.”

“I don't hate soul beasts, but I'm not qualified to criticize my ancestors. Without them, there would be no us today. Whether it's humans or soul beasts, killing and plundering have never stopped between soul beasts and humans. In the final analysis, both sides are just trying to live, to live better. This world is like this: the strong are respected, and the fittest survive.”

“You hate humans, I can understand because some people don't give you a way to live, some people want to exterminate your race. And the humans of Douluo Continent are just a knife in their hands. Therefore, what you should really hate is not humans, but the people behind the scenes who are manipulating everything.”

“The world is very big. Above Douluo Continent, there is the God Realm. Outside the God Realm, there are cosmic galaxies. We are born in a well, and what we see is only a drop in the ocean.”

“Snow Empress, join us. From the perspective of the race, are you willing to watch the soul beasts gradually move towards extinction? Don't you want to do something?”

“And for you personally, are you willing to stay in the far north forever, stay in this small place? The God Realm will not be your end. Don't you want to see the scenery at a higher place?”

The Snow Empress was shocked. Could these words really come from a twelve-year-old human? Also, what was the universe? She realized that this human seemed to be not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

The Ice Empress was already numb. What kind of person did that guy Tianmeng find?

After a long time, the Snow Empress came back to her senses. She looked at Huo Yuhao and said, “I have learned about you humans, but you are very special. Moreover, you seem to know many unknown secrets?”

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “That's why I came to find you. Actually, I could have waited until you exploded under the contention of various forces in the Sun Moon Empire, as I said. I believe that the success rate of inviting you to join us would be higher then, but I don't want to do that because you in your prime will be of greater help to me.”

“You are quite frank.” The Snow Empress glanced at Huo Yuhao. This guy actually said it like that. Then she frowned and asked, “Will those things you said really happen in the future?”

Huo Yuhao nodded seriously. “Yes. As for why I know these things, that's my secret. I can't tell you. But I can tell you that if I don't appear and you follow the original plan to transform and reconstruct yourself, then at the moment when you are about to transform into a human, you will fall into the hands of a Titled Douluo. By the way, the soul tool used to capture you is called the God Sealing Platform. Perhaps you will see him in the future.”

“God Sealing Platform.” The Snow Empress remembered this name in her heart, and a hint of cold light flashed in her eyes. Later, it would be necessary to pay attention to the human powerhouses entering the far north.

Huo Yuhao silently mourned for the unknown Titled Douluo in his heart. For my soul ring, I can only betray you, old man. May you rest in peace.

Finally, under Huo Yuhao's expectant gaze, the Snow Empress gave a reply that was not very clear.

“I will consider it carefully. Moreover, I also need to make arrangements. Otherwise, the far north will fall into chaos after I leave.”

Huo Yuhao was overjoyed upon hearing this. The Snow Empress had already agreed halfway by saying this. It was not in vain that he had spent so much effort.
