As the Scepter of Destruction in Huo Yuhao's hand gently pointed toward Wang Donger, that Soul figure suspended within the golden barrier slowly drifted toward Wang Donger as if lifted by a wisp of wind.
It silently approached Wang Donger's glabella and finally merged into it quietly, like a gathered beam of light returning to its original source.
The entire process was very quiet. Wang Donger's body trembled slightly, and her closed eyelashes fluttered gently before returning to calm.
Her breathing remained steady, and there was no pain or struggle in her expression.
Soul Fusion was inherently an operation refined to the utmost limit, and in this matter, Electrolux was a well-deserved expert.
His control over Souls had reached an almost microscopic Realm, so everything looked very smooth at this moment without any unexpected incidents.
What Huo Yuhao did not know at this moment was that while he was focused on guiding the Soul Fusion, his actions were being watched by the Divinities of almost the entire Divine Realm.
The image above the grand hall clearly presented every scene in the cultivation room before the eyes of the gods. They watched that young human use an art-like precise technique to guide a torn Soul back to its original position, and appreciation appeared in the eyes of many deities.
Inside the grand hall of the Divine Realm, the God of Destruction looked at Xiao Wu and said, "There shouldn't be any problems anymore. Wutong's crisis has been resolved."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's heart, which had been hanging all this time, finally settled back down.
She let out a long breath, as if unloading the weight that had been pressing in her chest for a long time, yet her gaze still did not leave the young man's figure in the image.
As the saying goes, a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and likes him more the more she looks.
Although it was her first time seeing Huo Yuhao, that natural sense of closeness seemed to rise from the depths of her Bloodline; after all, Huo Yuhao had helped her daughter at the most critical moment.
Seeing Xiao Wu's expression, the God of Destruction couldn't help introducing a few more words, his tone carrying an unabashed pride.
"This is the successor I chose. He is not even nineteen years old yet, but his Spirit Power has already reached Rank ninety-three."
"According to the cultivation Ranks on the Douluo Continent, reaching Rank one hundred in Spirit Power allows one to become a god."
As the voice of the God of Destruction fell, he noticed a trace of surprise on the faces of many Divinities in the grand hall.
Many deities present had cultivated step by step from the Lower Realm and ascended; they knew better than anyone how long and difficult that path was.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's age and cultivation base at this moment, many people subconsciously compared themselves in their hearts, then silently shook their heads.
At least in terms of talent, they considered themselves no match for this youth.
The Goddess of Life turned her head, glanced at the God of Destruction beside her, and couldn't help curving the corners of her mouth.
She naturally understood his thoughts at the moment—he had simply found a successor with outstanding talent and wanted to show off properly.
In the image, Huo Yuhao had slowly put away the Scepter of Destruction. That dark scepter turned into a purplish-black stream of light in his palm and submerged into his glabella.
He let out a slight breath, a thin layer of sweat oozing from his temples. Obviously, the previous operation was not easy, but his expression carried a sense of relief.
He gazed at Wang Donger with no urge in his eyes, only waiting quietly.
A moment later, Wang Donger's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
Those pinkish-blue eyes first carried a trace of confusion, like waking up from a long dream, and her vision had not yet had time to focus.
Immediately afterward, a layer of flowing brilliance emerged from the depths of her eyes, just like a sleeping lake surface brushed by a spring breeze, stirring up layers of ripples.
Huo Yuhao had been gazing at her. He could feel that her gaze seemed different from before.
He tentatively called out, "Donger?"
Wang Donger's gaze then slowly fell upon him. She looked at him, her lips moving slightly, and then spoke: "I remember. My name is not Wang Donger; my name is Tang Wutong."
"I remember! I remember everything!"
Wang Donger—no, now she was called Tang Wutong!
Tang Wutong's voice kept rising, carrying the excitement of confusion finally being resolved, yet also mixed with a hint of indescribable bitterness.
She abruptly stood up, those pinkish-blue eyes seemingly burning with a cluster of flames, and said to Huo Yuhao, "I am going back to the Clear Sky Sect! I am going to ask clearly what on earth is going on!"
Before her voice finished falling, she had already turned and rushed out of the cultivation room.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Jin Li beside him. Jin Li nodded at him and said, "Go. Right now she needs you more."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded, then quickly walked out of the cultivation room, following the corridor to chase in the direction where Tang Wutong had disappeared.
Meanwhile, a familiar voice sounded in his Spiritual Sea: "The third trial of the God of Destruction test is completed. Reward: 10% compatibility with the God of Destruction, and Spirit Power increased by five Ranks!"
Huo Yuhao did not stop his steps, but his heart was truly startled by this reward.
A five-Rank increase in Spirit Power directly pushed him from Rank ninety-three to Rank ninety-eight.
Now his Spirit Power Rank was on par with Xuan Zi, but when it came to true combat power, he could naturally leave that veteran powerhouse of Shrek Academy far behind by several streets.
Huo Yuhao naturally caught up with Tang Wutong and did not stop her from returning to the Clear Sky Sect.
Huo Yuhao understood her feelings. When she finally remembered who she was, recalled those sealed memories, and thought of what that God King father had done to her, that impact was not so easy to digest.
She needed to ask in person what on earth was going on, and she still had many doubts in her heart.
Wang Donger refused Huo Yuhao's company because she knew there were still many things in the Spirit Pagoda waiting for Huo Yuhao to handle.
A few days later, Huo Yuhao learned through the God of Destruction that Tang Wutong had not only returned to the Clear Sky Sect, but had finally gone back to the Divine Realm.
After all, the source of everything was because Tang San was locked up in the heavenly prison of the Divine Realm.
The God of Destruction did not elaborate too much, only mentioning lightly: "She has already seen Tang San and seen her mother. Next, she needs time to slowly digest all of this."
Huo Yuhao did not pursue the matter further, and then cast his gaze back onto the situation of the Douluo Continent.
The war on the continent was still continuing. Although the offensive of the Sun Moon Empire had been blocked by the new type of Spirit Tools provided by the Spirit Transmission Hall, the flames of war still seesawed repeatedly along the borderlines of Star Luo and Tianhun.
The promotion of the Spirit Pagoda itself was greatly affected as a result, and the construction of many originally planned Branch Pagodas was forced to be delayed or even shelved.
However, the performance of the Spirit Transmission Hall's Spirit Tools on the battlefield allowed all factions to see their huge strategic value. Orders flew in like snowflakes from all directions, causing the scale of the Spirit Transmission Hall to expand several times over within just a few months.
During this period, a major event that shocked the continent occurred in Shrek Academy: the Dragon God Douluo Elder Mu had fallen.
Having received the news, Huo Yuhao made a special trip back to Shrek Academy; after all, back when he was at the academy, that old man had treated him quite well.
He also took the opportunity to go to Sea God Island, contacted the God of Destruction on the island, and helped Elder Jin resolve the crisis of being devoured.
However, according to the statement of the God of Destruction, what attempted to seize the Origin of the Golden Tree back then was not the main body of Tang San's mother, the Blue Silver Emperor, but merely a Avatar of hers.
Viewed this way, the real Blue Silver Emperor should have truly descended to the Douluo Continent only after Huo Yuhao's Ascension to the Divine Realm.
No matter what, Huo Yuhao's destiny in this spacetime Ten Thousand Years ago had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Not only him, but he had also changed the destiny of many people.
He stopped the Auspicious Beast from sacrificing itself for him, and rescued Elder Jin who was devoured Ten Thousand Years later...
Of course, most importantly, the Sea God Tang San, who had always secretly manipulated the Douluo World, had now been locked up in the heavenly prison of the Divine Realm and could no longer affect the operations of the Lower Realm!
