Chapter 498 Miracles can only occur at the right time; Youyou: Huo Yuhao, you bastard!
Sky City, or rather, high in the sky where it is now a wasteland.
Huo Yuhao stood quietly, looking down at the dense crowd below who were carrying out post-disaster reconstruction work in an orderly manner.
Although nearly twenty days have passed since the disaster, a somber and oppressive atmosphere of sorrow still lingers over the vast ruins.
Zang Xin, who was standing beside him, also watched this scene silently and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh: "Ancestor, you don't need to blame yourself for this anymore."
After all, no one could have predicted that the Tang Clan and the Holy Spirit Cult, driven to the brink of despair, would become so utterly depraved and outrageous.
But—Ancestor, what you said to Palace Master Chen earlier, that the tens of millions of Heavenly Battle people who perished in this massive explosion can truly be resurrected?
Although Zang Xin had previously witnessed the Holy Spirit Douluo resurrecting the Blood God Legion generals who had sacrificed themselves during the invasion of the Abyss Plane, those were only a few thousand people.
Compared to the current population of tens of millions in Tiandou City, which almost covers the entire city, the two are worlds apart in scale.
Even Zang Xin couldn't imagine how terrifying the energy would be required to revive such a large number of people all at once!
Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes slightly and replied softly, "Before leaving, the Goddess of Life made a pact with the consciousness of the Douluo plane."
The soul imprints of the people of Tiandou are now hidden within the Ancient Tree of Life, awaiting the right moment to unleash its power and resurrect them.
According to the Goddess of Life relayed by Ya Li, this so-called opportune moment is naturally the day when Tang Hao is completely eliminated.
This is precisely why, since Huo Yuhao awakened, he has not directly allowed the Life Core to devour the imprisoned Abyss Saint King, so as to sublimate the Douluo plane and obtain enough energy for resurrection.
After all, resurrecting so many people out of thin air would only cause unnecessary panic.
At the right time, saving the lives of tens of millions of people through a miracle would undoubtedly be the most acceptable outcome.
Soon, Huo Yuhao and Zang Xin descended from the sky and arrived at a mountain forest outside Tiandou City.
The surrounding terrain is mostly rugged and difficult to traverse, and at first glance, there is nothing unusual about it.
Even the poisonous fog that permeated the entire forest ten thousand years ago has vanished without a trace.
Everything seemed so ordinary, with no indication that this was the location of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
With Huo Yuhao's keen eyesight, a casual glance was enough to discern the truth of the matter.
The core area where the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is located is shrouded in an extremely sophisticated and exquisite illusion.
However, the aura emanating from the space concealed by that illusion was exceptionally violent. The primordial energy of heaven and earth seemed to be completely disrupted by some invisible force, resulting in a chaotic and disordered state.
"Ancestor, you should have noticed it too. When those shameless scoundrels from the Tang Sect were preparing to escape Douluo Continent in the chaos with a large amount of core resources, given their behavior, they naturally wouldn't have thought of letting go of a treasure land like the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."
However, their actions thoroughly enraged the immortal herbs within. Or rather, having been exploited for years, they had long harbored this ambition, intending to seize this opportunity to break free from the Tang Sect's control.
Zang Xin slowly began to explain the current situation to Huo Yuhao.
"Now the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is shrouded in the power of the dragon soul drawn by the immortal herb, and even a Limit Douluo wearing a four-word battle armor cannot easily enter."
When our Federation took control of the outer perimeter of this area, we also sent people to negotiate with the immortal herbs within.
However, these immortal herbs were adamant. They declared that if we tried to force our way in again, they would rather detonate their dragon souls, obliterating this treasure land completely, so that no one could obtain it.
After passing through checkpoints set up by the federal government at various key points, and then traversing a narrow, illusory passage together, the view suddenly opened up before them, and they arrived at a cliff.
However, the natural poisonous miasma that should have accumulated from various highly poisonous plants in the valley below is now completely absent.
Pure ice and fire energies intertwined in the void, and the faint sound of a high-pitched dragon's roar could be heard continuously coming from the bottom of the valley.
Beneath this chilling barrier of ice and fire lies a treasure trove that countless soul masters dream of visiting to find their destiny: the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
This valley, which should have been full of life, is no longer as tranquil as it used to be.
Two seemingly tangible ice and fire dragon souls, one red and one blue, swam and collided continuously in mid-air.
Under the impact of their leaking energy, countless rare and exotic plants withered and lay prostrate on the ground.
Before the Ice and Fire Lake at the very heart of the valley, seven immortal herbs that had already manifested human forms were also suffering terribly.
Among them, the slightly better-behaved Liehuo Xingjiaoshu complained irritably, "Xiangxiang, this stalemate with humans isn't a solution."
"I'm afraid that before we even see the results, we'll all be killed by the backlash from the two dragon lords' power. Wouldn't that be even more of a loss?"
"Ah Jiao is right, why don't we just surrender? Who knows, we might be able to reach a similar agreement with those new humans outside as we did with the Tang Sect before, as long as we can save our lives."
The plump and round Hunyuan Immortal Herb was the first to chime in agreement.
If it weren't for this truly catastrophic disaster, given his usual lazy nature, he wouldn't even have bothered to show that he had gained wisdom.
The hot-tempered earth dragon, Golden Melon, immediately retorted: "You may get a day's rest by surrendering today, but don't you know what kind of people those greedy humans are?"
"What if we sell you off tomorrow? We can't always be at their mercy!"
In an instant, the scene became extremely chaotic, with the surrender faction and the die-hard faction arguing endlessly, and even showing signs of almost coming to blows.
The purple-clad man at the center of the room felt a splitting headache from the noise and shouted, "Alright, everyone, stop arguing! Quiet down! Someone else is coming in. Let's see what the humans' negotiation terms are this time. If it's acceptable, let's accept their terms for now."
They thought they could finally take this great opportunity to break free from the Tang Clan's long-standing control, but they never expected to find themselves in an even more difficult situation.
As the current head of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Qiluo Tulip feels that it must be responsible for the life and death of all the immortal herbs.
But looking at the white-haired boy slowly descending from the sky, they couldn't help but be greatly shocked.
The aura emanating from the surrounding dragon souls seemed to have no real effect on him.
What horrified the seven immortal herbs was that the Ice and Fire Dragon Soul, which had been hovering high in the sky and constantly emitting a terrifying aura, had somehow shrunk in size.
They all circled around Huo Yuhao affectionately, their obedient appearance making them seem as if they had seen their biological father.
Seeing the white-haired boy land, Qiluo Tulip swallowed hard and asked somewhat hoarsely, "Who exactly are you, sir?"
"Um?"
Huo Yuhao first raised his hand to signal the Ice and Fire Dragon Soul to calm down again.
He then glanced around at the surrounding immortal herbs and asked with a hint of doubt, "Are you the new person in charge of this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"
Could Youyou have already perished under the heavenly tribulation? But that shouldn't be the case; according to her cultivation level, she shouldn't be facing a second heavenly tribulation yet.
Upon hearing this, a conjecture that even they themselves found incredibly bold and absurd instantly surfaced in the mind of the immortal herbs that had experienced the events of ten thousand years ago.
The appearance of the eight-cornered ice grass beside Huo Yuhao further confirmed their suspicions.
"Huo Yuhao?! You bastard, you tricked us so badly back then, and you actually dare to come back today!"
Qiluo Tulip, whose emotions were instantly out of control, suddenly rushed forward, her raised fist carrying a resolute momentum of wanting to perish together with Huo Yuhao.
Surprisingly, its original form as a man in purple robes transformed into the shape of a woman at a visible speed during this process.
Even the angry, accusing voices reverted to the familiar tone of the Fragrant Fairy from ten thousand years ago.
"Let's not even talk about how you, you bastard, looted all the rare medicinal herbs here back then. In the past ten thousand years, while you have enjoyed peace in the God Realm, the Tang Sect has continued to make endless demands on us."
Do you humans really think we're all easy targets to bully and manipulate?
Seeing the fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item that had transformed from a man into a woman and was charging towards him menacingly, Huo Yuhao was momentarily stunned by this bizarre scene.
He quickly dodged to the other side, afraid of accidentally getting something unclean on him.
Seeing this, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass quickly materialized and asked hesitantly, "Youyou, Ajiao, what exactly happened? What happened after I left?"
Seeing that Youyou was still angry and wanted to pounce on Huo Yuhao and kick him a few more times after he dodged her, Liehuo Xingjiao rubbed her forehead helplessly and stepped forward to explain, "The matter here is quite complicated. Simply put, not long after you ascended to the God Realm with Huo Yuhao, Youyou felt that continuing to live the same life as before was too boring, so she found a tulip and started dating it."
This was originally a good thing, but the good times didn't last long. Who knew that the beautiful tulip would fail when it was undergoing its tribulation?
In utter despair, Youyou couldn't bear to watch her lover completely vanish, so she tearfully devoured and merged with his original form, resulting in her current androgynous appearance.
"What do you know? This is the expression of true love! This way, I can be with Xiangxiang for all eternity."
When talking about the past, the woman in purple was filled with tears, clearly having entered some kind of irrational, love-struck state.
Seeing that Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin had completely lost her mind, Liehuo Xingjiao had no choice but to temporarily take the lead and asked, "Bajiao, since we are all old acquaintances, I will be blunt. I wonder what your purpose is in returning with Huo Yuhao this time?"
Let's make it clear first: in order to survive, we can agree to submit to the Douluo Federation. However, even if a new contract is signed, it must be almost identical to the original contract with the Tang Sect. We must not push our luck.
Furthermore, this time, because we used the power of the Dragon Lord for a long time to protect ourselves, we also suffered a lot of damage during this period. You just saw how bad the situation was.
Besides signing a new contract, we need nearly a thousand years to recuperate and rebuild, otherwise—”
However, when she looked at the two dragon lords who were obediently staying beside Huo Yuhao like docile kittens, the harsh words that Liehuo Xingjiao had prepared beforehand, "I'd rather die than surrender," got stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
Now that even their biggest trump card has betrayed them, their biggest concern should be Huo Yuhao. Will he, like he did ten thousand years ago, be unethical and once again fleece the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?
Huo Yuhao smiled calmly and said unhurriedly, "You don't need to be too worried. I didn't come here mainly for you—"
Upon hearing this, all the immortal herbs, who had been on tenterhooks, breathed a sigh of relief.
They still have a long time before the next heavenly tribulation arrives, and they have no intention of prematurely accepting their fate to become human souls.
Of course, the more fundamental reason is that their attributes are not compatible with Huo Yuhao's.
Even if one wanted to become Huo Yuhao's soul in hopes of gaining immortality, there was absolutely no possibility of it.
As for the newly grown eight-cornered ice grass, it is clearly inferior to the old eight-cornered grass in terms of age and cultivation, so Huo Yuhao would not look down on it.
Even with these thoughts in mind, Liehuo Xingjiao couldn't help but ask again, "So, what are you here for? Let me make this clear first, you already drained the scorching gel from my body back then."
That time, I was severely weakened, and the chances of surviving the second tribulation are already very low. If you're planning to do it again this time, I'll have no choice but to die right here and now.
In any case, they had several in-depth interactions with Huo Yuhao.
Liehuo Xingjiaoshu was naturally furious at Huo Yuhao's unethical and rogue behavior back then!
But now the situation is beyond her control, and Huo Yuhao is someone who only responds to kindness and not force, so she naturally has to play the victim first to gain some sympathy.
"My goal is very simple: I just want to take away the Ice and Fire Dragon Soul located beneath the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye."
"6
As Huo Yuhao's light and airy words fell, all the immortal herbs present could not believe what they had heard.
After tens of thousands of years of exploration, the immortal herb naturally discovered that although the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire was a place of exceptional beauty and spiritual energy, it was not entirely formed naturally.
The most important source of energy is the ice and fire dragon bones buried deep underground.
So Huo Yuhao's visit this time wasn't like it was ten thousand years ago, where he just took some rare and precious materials and that was it. He was going to take down the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in one fell swoop.
