There was no time to grieve for Dai Huabin's fate; Huo Yuhao, the one about to create the White King, rushed to the battlefield!
After leaving home, Huo Yuhao went straight to the experimental site behind the Passion Headquarters.
This experimental site was initially used by Huo Yuhao to research alchemy, but due to technological advancements, the site had been continuously expanded.
Furthermore, thanks to the selfless sponsorship of Mingde Hall, a large number of high-level soul tools were transported here.
Huo Yuhao modified these soul tools, creating various experimental instruments.
In fact, the soul tools of Douluo Continent were even more advanced than those of Earth in his previous life in some aspects.
For example, gravity technology, space technology, and energy shield technology were far superior to those of his previous life.
If his previous life had had soul tool levitation devices, the extremely risky "Wandering Earth" plan would not have been adopted.
Combined with thermal fusion and cold fusion technologies, humanity was fully capable of creating long-distance interstellar travel spaceships.
In his previous life, Earth ultimately abandoned its spaceship project because it couldn't carry most of its population, its ecological maintenance technology was inadequate and energy-intensive, and the spaceship's propulsion system might not even be able to take Kobo out of the world.
Ultimately, the only option was the "Wandering Earth" project, which transformed Earth into a super-large ecological warship.
In Huo Yuhao's view, the technology tree of Douluo Continent was utterly skewed.
The materials of Douluo Continent were practically invincible, soul power was a versatile super energy source, and soul guidance technology was practically science fiction.
These three elements, when separated, were
like countless stars in the sky; when gathered together, they formed a cohesive whole.
Ultimately, soul guidance devices had limitations; they were ultimately toys for a minority of soul masters.
It was only with the emergence of the Magic Network system and the Dream Coin system that ordinary people were able to use soul guidance devices.
Huo Yuhao passed through the outer experimental base.
Researchers in white coats hurried by, stopping to nod and greet him before continuing on to the next experimental site.
These researchers were all personally selected and trained by Huo Yuhao; they were his students.
Eighty percent of them were from the Sun Moon Empire!
They all had a foundation in soul tools, making them relatively easy to teach.
Huo Yuhao taught these researchers subjects like mathematics, cultivating their scientific research system.
In any world, mathematics is always the most fundamental subject and the most universal scientific language, and the same is true in Douluo Continent.
The core of soul tools can be modeled using mathematics, allowing for the derivation and evolution of soul tools based on these models.
This is also the core concept of soul tool design.
Every researcher before him was a master of mathematics, a terrifying existence like the legendary "Chicken Head Four" in the chicken world!
This was evident from their sparse hair.
The less hair, the faster the brain!
After greeting the researchers, Huo Yuhao went directly to the core experimental area of the research base.
That area was Huo Yuhao's private domain; only he, Su Tong, and Roman were qualified to enter.
He stood in an open space within the experimental area and activated the level nine soul tool barrier and mental shielding soul tool he had set up around him.
"Adam,"
Huo Yuhao called out to the surrounding air.
"I am here,"
the blond priest materialized from thin air, his golden eyes devoid of emotion.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said,
"Are you some kind of little Ai classmate?"
"Never mind."
"Come with me to the Land of Dreams."
"You'll have a new comrade."
Adam's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly,
"So you're finally planning to create a new kin?"
Huo Yuhao nodded and said,
"The time is almost here."
"It's time for the dragons to roar across the heavens and earth once more."
"However, this batch of dragons won't be loyal to the Dragon God, but to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Remnant Dream Blade shot out from Huo Yuhao's right hand, its hilt glowing with colorful light excitedly brushing against Huo Yuhao's face.
The ribbons waving in the air gently wrapped around Huo Yuhao's wrist.
"Master!"
Huo Yuhao said gently to her,
"Go immediately. I need to go to the [Garden of Night], to the place with the densest and purest spiritual energy."
"I'll leave it to you to guide me."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the Remnant Dream Blade's colorful ribbons patted its chin like a human hand, and its confident voice traveled through the power of dreams to Huo Yuhao's ears.
"Okay!"
"Leave it to me!"
Huo Yuhao and Adam then entered the dream space one after the other.
A blinding white light appeared and disappeared before their eyes, and a variety of bizarre and fantastical scenes unfolded before Huo Yuhao's gaze.
A dazzling ring shone in the sky above the dream space, with countless meteors streaking around it, their trails brilliant.
This was the core of the magic network that people in reality had struggled to find.
It was also the foundation—the base—of Huo Yuhao's divine kingdom.
Unlike his first visit to the dream space, when the myriad dream creations treated Huo Yuhao with indifference, now all the dream creations conveyed joy and affection to him.
Under the influence of the base, all the dream creations in the dream realm were Huo Yuhao's followers, without exception.
They were the first inhabitants of the divine kingdom [The Garden of Night Curtain], and its initial builders.
At the core of the divine kingdom, a city was already taking shape.
A magical city entirely based on dreams and fantasy.
From time to time, this city also receives some visitors from outside.
The pure-hearted children from Douluo Continent come to this city in their dreams.
The dream-created beings would kindly offer these children milk and honey, leading them on journeys through the most fantastical and wondrous dreamscapes, allowing them to forget all the troubles of the mortal world.
Huo Yuhao knew this; as the ruler of the divine kingdom, he could close the passage between the children's dreams and the dream space.
However, he wouldn't do so. Huo Yuhao always showed the utmost tolerance and kindness to pure children.
They lacked the complex thoughts of adults, possessing only the purest and most wondrous fantasies of childhood.
Those fantasies were more unique and precious than any treasure in the world.
They were the first vibrant paintings drawn by newborn life in a void world.
Huo Yuhao did not want these most precious dreams to disappear in the descent into worldly depravity.
Every child who came here would leave a trace of a dream in the dream space.
This trace of a dream would one day give birth to entirely new dream-created beings.
These dream-created beings would become inhabitants of the divine kingdom, a continuation of the children's dreams.
When the children of yesteryear grow old and can no longer dream, the resurrected dreams of those children will once again take them on journeys through the realm of dreams.
They will be given milk and honey to soothe the wounds time has left in their hearts.
In their own most beautiful dreams, they will purify their bodies and minds, reaching the end of their destiny.
This is Huo Yuhao's gentleness, allowing the dreams of the past to save their future selves.
The world is cruel enough; Huo Yuhao doesn't want these former children to die with malice; he chooses to make death more beautiful.
Adam follows behind Huo Yuhao, silently strolling through this city located at the heart of the divine kingdom.
Huo Yuhao gently strokes each brick along the street.
These bricks are strange and varied, taken from the dreams of different beings by the dream dwellers.
Under the skillful hands of the dream dwellers, these bricks, each with its own unique shape, are used to build houses with a distinctive beauty.
Some dream dwellers stand on both sides of the street, their forms varied—some humanoid, some animaloid, and some even strangely shaped objects.
They all looked at Adam and Huo Yuhao with pure and affectionate eyes.
Huo Yuhao asked Adam beside him,
"What do you think of this city?"
Adam looked at the beings around him, as pure as children, with his golden eyes and said,
"Very pure."
"Very beautiful."
"Born from the dreams of children, they are the most beautiful beings in the world."
"All the good virtues in the world can be found here."
"This is a true utopia."
"However, if I may be frank, these beings lack something."
Huo Yuhao looked at Adam beside him with a puzzled expression and said,
"Lack something?"
"Speak freely."
Adam pointed to his heart and said,
"They have no heart."
"Newborn children do not know good or evil.
The Land of Dreams isolates them from the malice of the world, keeping them pure."
"But they have also lost their humanity."
"They are divine beings shaped by the gods according to their preferences."
Hearing Adam's words, Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head.
"Hahaha."
"Are you calling me out?"
"But you're right, I did add my own preferences to the underlying logic of their consciousness."
"That was indeed a little bit of my selfishness."
"However, the lack of humanity wasn't my intention."
"I gave them a possibility."
"The seeds of humanity exist within them, they just haven't sprouted yet."
"When the souls appear, those who choose to dissipate will have two choices."
"Enter the underworld to be reborn, to live in this utopia."
"Until they feel they've had enough, then they'll be reborn."
"This city will eventually welcome a large number of residents."
"With the collision of these residents' different thoughts, the seeds of humanity will surely sprout."
"However, this city does need a manager."
"I've already envisioned it, it will be a very beautiful pink-haired girl."
Adam nodded gently and said,
"You are indeed a gentle god."
Huo Yuhao shrugged and said,
"Let's go, follow Xiaomeng to the place with the densest spiritual energy in the Dreamland."
"The Dreamland is still too empty."
