"Heh, big bug, you've lived a million years in vain, you can't even see through little Yuhao's true nature."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm angrily said to the gray ball:
"Hey, gray ball."
"What do you mean?"
"I haven't even settled accounts with you for stealing people yet, don't think that just because your soul grade is high, I can't do anything to you!"
"I have many more methods."
Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, and he hurriedly covered Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's mouth.
This guy's strength is lacking, but his ability to court death is explosive.
He dares to provoke anyone.
An aged voice came from the gray ball.
"Heh, big bug, when you were young, you were nothing more than nourishment in front of this old man."
The gray ball slightly emitted an extremely terrifying aura targeting Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Sweat began to flow down Tianmeng's face, clearly he was drenched in sweat and under immense pressure.
"You talk a big game, but you're still just a remnant soul, relying on Yuhao to exist."
"You don't even dare to reveal your own name!"
Upon hearing Tianmeng's words, the gray sphere dissipated the terrifying aura pressing down on Tianmeng.
"I don't belong to this world. After my death, because my soul was too powerful, it tore open space, preserving a wisp of divine consciousness, which was attracted by the giant worm's spiritual power."
"My memories are fragmented, and if they were to recover naturally, I don't know when it would take."
"Fortunately, after entering this child's body, some memories were awakened by that peculiar spiritual power."
"Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world. "
"I was once the Holy God of Necromancy, the Calamity of the Undead, Ilex!"
Hearing such a long title, Tianmeng gently shielded Huo Yuhao in front of him.
Ilex chuckled upon seeing this, then said:
"Giant worm, do you know why I said little Yuhao is a born high-ranking being?"
Tianmeng was getting excited at this moment; he was particularly interested in anything involving Huo Yuhao.
"Why?"
The gray sphere glanced at Huo Yuhao to make sure he didn't mind him revealing some information, then said:
"Because of the rules!"
"The difference between mortals and gods lies in the rules!"
"Mortals, even after a lifetime of effort, cannot comprehend the existence of rules because their life level is too low; they cannot imagine the ultimate nature of this world."
"So-called gods are those who have reached the pinnacle in a certain aspect, attained the highest level, gained the favor of the rules, and acquired the authority of the rules."
"They can wield the power of the rules, and to a certain extent, even change the rules."
"But life cannot completely control any rule."
"They can only use the rules and faith to condense a throne, and exercise the authority of the rules through the throne."
"But Xiao Yuhao's situation is unheard of!"
"In such a weak state, yet three rules are intertwined within him, connected to each other, becoming a whole!"
"The three rules do not conflict at all, as if they were originally one. Just by looking at them, I can feel that ultimate pressure on my divine consciousness."
"Moreover, the three rules within Yuhao's body seem to have been directly branded with his soul."
"The three rules did not resist, seemingly acknowledging this relationship."
"As long as he lives, no one can gain the recognition of these three rules."
"Heh, interesting. Others become powerful first and then comprehend the rules."
"He's different; he directly possesses the rules and then becomes powerful."
"So the path Xiao Yuhao should take isn't to comprehend the rules, but to gradually master them."
"Completely master the rules!"
"That realm... I don't even know what to call it. After all, no one can conquer the rules. Xiao Yuhao is the first person I've ever seen!"
"Yuhao is currently half-god, half-human, possessing the rules but not completely mastering them."
"Hiss~ Shouldn't we call him a god-man?"
Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly after hearing Electrolux's explanation, finally unable to contain himself when he heard the final title.
The family that came up with the name "god-man" must have hired Hakiko.
Speaking of which, he didn't actually know what he would become after mastering three rules.
At first, he thought he'd be like the gods in the divine realm.
Now, after hearing Electrolux's explanation, he realized that the path he was on had nothing to do with the divine system.

The group from the divine realm were incredibly powerful, using their divine positions and power to interfere with the rules.
He, on the other hand, completely controlled the rules, becoming the master of the rules.
Upon hearing Ilex's words, Tianmeng was completely dumbfounded.
His brain's CPU clearly couldn't process such information.
He could only stare blankly at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao shrugged and said to Tianmeng and Ilex, "As Elder Ilex said, I do indeed possess three rules."
"[Understanding], [Imagination], and [Dream]—these three rules were imprinted on my soul at the moment of my birth."
"I am a master of spirit, but I haven't yet grasped the power."
Ilex trembled slightly as he said, "I never imagined that after my death, I would have the opportunity to witness that realm I never dared to dream of."
"To wield the truth of the universe with my life!"
"Yuhao, could you allow me to remain in your body? I want to see you reach that realm."
"As a reward, after I recover some of my memories, I can teach you necromancy, the field I have mastered most in my life!"
Huo Yuhao certainly wouldn't refuse; one of his main purposes for coming here was to see Ilex.
"Of course, Elder Yi, I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."
Then Huo Yuhao and Electrolux looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Tianmeng: "Abba, aba."
Electrolux couldn't help but laugh at the silly insect.
A gray stream of air slapped Tianmeng's forehead, bringing him back to his senses.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm came to his senses and finally realized that he had opened a blind box and gotten a hidden item.
He tried to hug Huo Yuhao, but Huo Yuhao dodged to the side.
Tianmeng didn't give up and hugged Huo Yuhao's leg on the ground, tears streaming down his face, saying:
"Brother, I knew that heaven would definitely favor you."
"Yuhao, don't worry! I will definitely help you reach the realm that the gray ball mentioned!"
Huo Yuhao pressed down on Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's head with one hand to prevent him from climbing up his leg.
"Brother Tianmeng, if you keep doing this, Elder Yi and I will throw you out of the Sea of Spirit!"
Tianmeng quickly stood up and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again."
"By the way, Yuhao, what are the plans for the future? For example, where are we going?"
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and said to Tianmeng, "First, we'll find a city to settle down in around the Star Dou Great Forest. I should be able to break through to level 20 in about a month."
"Then, we'll go to a place in the Star Dou Great Forest to find a 100,000-year-old Golden Tortoise and obtain the second spirit ring for the Spirit Eye."
"After all, we've already made an agreement with them."
"Then I'll go with you to the far north to find the Ice Emperor."
Tianmeng was immediately surprised when she heard this: "So fast! Ten levels in a month, is that really okay?"
"Also, Yuhao, you know about Golden Tortoises?"
"Golden Tortoises are spirit beasts with great fortune. If I can become a spirit ring, the benefits will be considerable!"
Huo Yuhao looked at Tianmeng confidently and said, "Brother Tianmeng, have you ever heard of the power of the Nine Dragons?"
"As long as the Xuanwu Divine Pill and the Soul Ascension Pill launch their attack, everything will be alright!"
"A mere tenth-level soul power will be more than enough for a month!"
...
After ending the communication in the sea of consciousness, Huo Yuhao returned to reality.
Seeing Huo Yuhao wake up, the Shadow Cat jumped onto his shoulder and licked his cheek.
Looking at the many soul beast corpses lying around, Huo Yuhao knew it had done a lot to protect him.
Huo Yuhao gently rubbed its head and said, "Sir Hao Mao, follow me from now on. If I get a bite of meat, you'll get a bite of soup!"
"Meow!"
The two began walking towards the city. At this moment, the all-encompassing voice belonging to the plane's consciousness suddenly echoed in their ears:
"Good child, after reaching level twenty, go beyond the Dream Gate."
"I'll be waiting for you in the sea."
