Chapter 236 The Bridge of Cause and Effect and the Resurrection of Tang 3's Father-in-Law
Chapter 236 The Bridge of Cause and Effect and the Resurrection of Tang San's Father-in-Law
Di Tian's dragon claws gripped the golden tortoiseshell tightly, making a creaking sound.
The golden tortoiseshell kept begging for mercy from Di Tian, but to no avail.
The importance of the Living Gold to the Lake of Life is self-evident. In Di Tian's view, the Golden Tortoise Shell stealing the Living Gold is no less than digging up the roots of the Star Dou Great Forest.
As more and more life force flowed into Electrox's palm, the golden tortoiseshell's body grew larger and larger.
This is at least a powerful soul beast with 100,000 years of cultivation. Combined with its racial talents, it can definitely be considered an auspicious omen.
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
In a sense, Di Tian was currently enforcing the "family rules" of the Star Dou Great Forest, and Huo Yuhao had no right to interrupt.
Whether Di Tian wanted the Golden Tortoise to die directly or be killed as a Soul Hunter was a matter within the Star Dou Great Forest.
Electrolux glanced at Huo Yuhao, then raised his hand and pointed to his heart.
As he made this movement, a piece of living gold, no bigger than a fingernail, flew out from his chest.
"It has merged with the Eye of the Mind," Electrox said. "This living gold has been nourished by my soul and has acquired a slight spirituality."
"Moreover, this golden tortoise carries a lot of luck. Although it cannot compare with Gu Mingxi and Xue Di, it is still an invaluable help in promoting the evolution of your Mind's Eye."
"Now that we've arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, this piece of Living Gold is no longer of much use to me."
Huo Yuhao didn't say much. He reached out and took the piece of living gold, then pressed it into the Mind's Eye between his eyebrows.
The size of this piece of living gold was just right to cover the pupil of the Eye of the Mind.
When Huo Yuhao followed Electrolux's guidance and channeled the essence of life into his Eye of the Mind, the previously somewhat illusory Eye of the Mind immediately emitted a vibrant green life glow, becoming incredibly real.
Now, no one would believe that the Eye of the Mind between Huo Yuhao's eyebrows is an illusory eye cultivated through practice.
Di Tian tightly restrained the golden tortoiseshell's essence, preventing it from self-destructing with a do-or-die mentality.
"Your identity is the chosen one of Douluo Star," Ilex said. "Follow your inner thoughts, resonate with the power of destiny carried by the Golden Tortoise Shell, and refine it into your Mind's Eye."
"Great destiny is the arrangement of the will of Heaven, while small destiny is the various choices made by one's own will."
"As the saying goes, character determines destiny. Once your 'eye of the soul,' which can only influence the hearts of others, is refined into your destiny, you will take the most solid step on the path of the soul."
Huo Yuhao unleashed the power of Heavenly Heart Interaction, merging heaven and earth with all things, transforming himself into a blessed land.
The golden tortoiseshell under Di Tian's claws sensed the aura emanating from Huo Yuhao and struggled even more violently.
It could sense the fortune within itself, which began to fluctuate as Huo Yuhao used the Heavenly Heart Communication technique.
Huo Yuhao's eyes were closed, but the Eye of the Mind between his brows shone brightly.
He saw the mental nodes of the golden tortoiseshell, where the emotions of greed and regret were particularly intense.
Fate may seem to be determined by heaven, but in reality it is created by the mind.
Ultimately, what determines the course of one's life is not the dice thrown by heaven, but the character imprint deep within one's soul.
Each choice we make shapes our destiny and determines our life.
Even though Huo Yuhao is the chosen one of Douluo Star, if he hadn't met the Martial Ancestor and instead made choices according to Tang San's arrangements, he would never have everything he has now.
So, the river of fate, though seemingly flowing ceaselessly with its own direction, ultimately depends on the choice of the helmsman to decide which port to land at.
The waves push the boat away, but it is ultimately a rootless duckweed.
Huo Yuhao stared at the mental node of the golden tortoiseshell, a flash of understanding appearing in his eyes.
He slowly raised his right hand, and an extremely ethereal thread condensed at his fingertips.
Huo Yuhao gently tapped the heart knot of the golden tortoiseshell, touching the knot of its greedy and regretful emotions.
As Huo Yuhao moved, the golden tortoiseshell's already heightened fear reached its peak at this moment.
This illusory thread, like a spindle, coiled around the mind of the golden tortoiseshell, and all the emotions of greed and regret in the golden tortoiseshell's life unfolded before Huo Yuhao's eyes.
The power of the interaction between Heaven and Earth seemed to undergo a different transformation at this moment.
Huo Yuhao's fingertips formed countless strands of mental energy, but instead of severing the silver threads that represented greed, he gently touched a certain thread deep within.
Di Tian, Chi Wang, and even Ilex were all watching Huo Yuhao's actions with curiosity.
The threads entangled by the silken threads of the soul began to tremble, then melted away like spring snow, replaced by strands of newly born golden threads.
These golden threads transformed into a golden bridge, which surprisingly spanned between the golden tortoiseshell and the Heavenly Emperor.
At this moment, Di Tian actually heard the golden tortoiseshell's inner voice and saw its fear.
This was not a resonance of hearts in Tianmeng's mind, but a bridge of communication built by Huo Yuhao with the power of his soul.
Unlike the resonance of hearts that can connect two completely unrelated people, Huo Yuhao's spiritual bridge can only be built between two people who already have a causal bond.
In short, this is a causal bridge.
Personality, destiny, and cause and effect are inherently intertwined.
Character is the foundation.
The inherent greed and opportunism of the golden tortoiseshell were the root cause of its fatal choice to steal the gold of living beings.
The choice is the branch.
The accumulation of greed, time and again, eventually led the golden tortoiseshell to venture into forbidden territory, yielding bitter fruit.
Cause and effect are like vines.
Stealing the gold meant for living beings angered the Heavenly Emperor, leading the golden tortoiseshell to its doom.
Fate is the result.
The fact that the Golden Tortoiseshell is about to be executed by Di Tian is a chain of cause and effect triggered by the choices it made under the guidance of its personality.
To glimpse the roots of character, to unravel the threads of cause and effect, and to understand the fruits of destiny.
This is a higher realm where the mind interferes with reality; it can be called the causal bridge of the mind.
"I can influence the other person on the other side of the bridge of cause and effect."
Huo Yuhao plucked the thickest thread of regret from the golden tortoiseshell.
For a moment, a feeling of regret suddenly arose in Di Tian's heart.
The next moment, Huo Yuhao's arm transformed into a dragon claw, tearing fiercely at the golden tortoiseshell.
At that moment, Di Tian actually felt a stinging pain on his skin.
The sting was only momentary, and the damage it caused was far less than what the golden tortoiseshell was currently enduring.
But this kind of pain transmitted through the bridge of the mind is far more bizarre than physical injury.
Di Tian's golden dragon eyes suddenly contracted.
"Yuhao, you—"
After listening to Huo Yuhao's insights on the Bridge of Cause and Effect, Di Tian couldn't help but say, "You've embarked on a path never before seen before."
"Using personality traits to touch upon cause and effect, and then influencing all those related to that personality trait—this..."
"If you continue to improve, many subordinate divine positions will emerge from you as the center."
"And among your subordinate divine positions, there are even those with wisdom, personality, and emotions—positions that are qualified to challenge the God-King!"
"If you become a god, you'll be just like the Dragon God, the one who created the realm of dragons!"
Huo Yuhao withdrew the mental threads from his fingertips: "At most, I have stolen a portion of the will and authority of Douluo Star by relying on the resonance of the Heavenly Heart. I am still far from reaching the level of a creator god like the Dragon God."
"If we consider Douluo Star as the original Dragon Realm, then the will of Douluo Star is the Dragon God."
"When we look at the Divine Dragon Realm, or even the entire universe, the Dragon God is probably just a senior like Emperor Tian in Douluo Star."
"Even—the Dragon God might just be an ordinary dragon soul beast."
Di Tian suddenly realized: "Yuhao, do you mean that the failure of the Divine Star Ceremony, or the Dragon God's madness, might be due to the intervention of the will of the universe?"
"Just like the will of Douluo Star can influence the personality of every living being on Douluo Star?!"
Huo Yuhao shook his head: "This is just my guess. After all, I've only just begun to understand the Way of the Mind."
"Without the connection between Heaven and the Douluo Star will, I wouldn't be able to use the Cause and Effect Bridge and perceive the relationship between mind, cause and effect, and destiny."
"Moreover, I am too weak right now. According to my speculation, the complete New Bridge of Cause and Effect could have a terrifying effect where if this side is injured, the other side will be injured, and if this side dies, the other side will perish as well."
"After you strip this golden tortoiseshell of its fortune, can you independently cast the New Bridge of Cause and Effect?" Di Tian asked quickly.
Huo Yuhao stared at the fading threads of fate at his fingertips, remaining silent for a long time.
Finally, he hesitated and said, "It will take time."
"Then there's no problem!" Di Tian grabbed the golden tortoise shell until it was on the verge of death and asked, "How do we strip it of its power of destiny?"
Huo Yuhao summoned the Qi Refining Furnace: "Put the whole thing in and refine it."
"Once the golden tortoise dies in the outside world, its power of destiny will dissipate. It can only be sealed in the Transformation Furnace."
Without hesitation, Di Tian threw the dying golden tortoise into the evolution furnace.
The moment the furnace lid closed, the golden tortoiseshell let out its last mournful cry.
The rising flames and steam, intertwined with red and blue, completely engulfed the soul beast that had devoured the gold of life.
Everything about the golden tortoiseshell was tightly bound within the Transformation Refining Furnace. Even the power of fate could not escape the closed lid of this divine artifact.
Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged, focusing all his efforts on refining the golden tortoiseshell's soul ring and bones.
The golden tortoiseshell's soul bone fell to the bottom of the furnace, but Huo Yuhao did not take it out, fearing that the power of destiny would dissipate.
The piece of living gold that had been devoured by the golden tortoiseshell also appeared in the furnace after the tortoiseshell's death.
Since Di Tian had already promised to give Huo Yuhao this piece of living gold, Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't refuse.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, fully activating the Transformation Refining Furnace to refine the essence of the Soul Ring and the Golden Tortoise Shell into the Gold of Life.
He even considered using the metal of life as a vessel to try and refine the power of destiny that was running rampant in the furnace into it.
The fortune emanating from this golden hawksbill turtle is arguably the most immense among all soul beasts, second only to Gu Mingxi and Xue Di.
As the refining process deepened, the originally bluish-gold living gold gradually acquired a mysterious halo.
If this brand-new metal is used to forge a soul tool, it will give birth to an unprecedented destiny attribute.
The metal is amber in color, with shimmering, star-like patterns inside, and the threads of fate can be faintly seen intertwined.
Huo Yuhao took out the Gold of Destiny and the Soul Bone. After a moment's hesitation, he finally used the Azure Dragon Sky-Tearing Hand, which combined with the Dark Gold Terror Claw, to cut off a piece of the Gold of Destiny.
He had promised the Demon Emperor that he would make Lan Fuzi a mythical beast of the sea in the future.
Once Tang San's matter is resolved, this piece of Destiny Gold will be the best catalyst for Lan Fuzi to become a mythical sea beast.
The soul bone that the golden tortoiseshell dropped was a torso bone.
The torso bone is already considered a very precious soul bone in the conventional soul bone configuration, let alone a soul bone of the 100,000-year level.
However, Huo Yuhao did not want to absorb this soul bone.
The reason is simple: the soul bones of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings are still waiting for him to absorb them under the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Huo Yuhao thought about the group of people around him and finally decided to give the soul bone to Jin Peng.
Because of the special nature of his martial spirit, Jinpeng has never dared to easily absorb the torso bones in recent years.
Jinpeng's martial spirit is his own torso, which is undoubtedly extremely compatible with this 100,000-year-old golden tortoise shell torso bone.
With this soul bone, it wouldn't be a problem for Jinpeng to raise his soul power by another level.
Since Huo Yuhao joined the Body Sect, Jinpeng's soul power has increased from level 96 to level 97.
If this soul bone can enhance their abilities further, then the Body Sect will gain another top-tier powerhouse.
Huo Yuhao put the soul bone and the two pieces of Destiny Gold into his soul tool, and then, inadvertently, he saw another soul bone.
The soul bone of a soft-boned rabbit, aged 100,000 years.
Huo Yuhao suddenly started to grimace.
After learning about the origins of this soul bone, everyone in the Heavenly Soul Empire despised it and no one wanted to absorb it.
"Huh, has no one in the Heavenly Soul Empire absorbed this soul bone yet?"
The Crimson King saw the Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Bone in his storage soul tool: "Is there no suitable person?"
Huo Yuhao, Electrolux, Di Tian, and even Tianmeng's expressions all became strange at this moment.
Huo Yuhao carefully considered his words and said, "The Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Bone is not suitable for the Azure Dragon Guard and the Body Sect, which rely on all-out attacks."
The left side of the Crimson King's head asked in confusion, "A 100,000-year-old soul bone is particular about this?"
Then, he retorted from the right side of his head: "The Azure Dragon Guard and the Body Sect should naturally use the most suitable ones."
Seeing that the Crimson King's three heads were about to bite each other, Huo Yuhao hurriedly said, "Senior Crimson King."
"This soul bone may play a great role in the future."
Di Tian remained silent, wanting to know how Huo Yuhao would comfort the Crimson King.
Only Tianmeng and Electrolux showed thoughtful expressions after hearing Huo Yuhao's words.
Huo Yuhao's mind raced, and he hesitated before asking, "Is there still a remnant soul of the Soft Bone Rabbit inside?"
Di Tian reacted instantly: "This is Xiao Wu's father's soul bone. You want him to be reborn as a demon?!"
Huo Yuhao had only suddenly thought of this possibility.
"If we can extract the remnant soul of the Soft Bone Rabbit and reshape its body through the demon transformation technique..."
"Then this will be an unexpected trump card when dealing with Tang San in the future."
The Red King's three heads simultaneously showed a look of sudden realization: "Father-in-law beating son-in-law? Brilliant!"
At this moment, Di Tian also showed a thoughtful expression.
Huo Yuhao's method was unethical, but it really worked.
