Chapter 1: HUO YUHAO AND HUAHUO
Douluo Continent, a place where you don't need a brain.
"Gasp~"
A splitting headache and the resurgence of memories made the young man suck in a cold breath.
A mask, Aeno, frozen at the end of his memory.
"Aha, Joyseeker..."
"I... the King of Cheating, Huo Yuhao, is currently merging with cheat..."
After a while, Huo Yuhao finally sorted out all his memories.
He was a transmigrator, originally supposed to transmigrate to the world of Honkai: Star Rail, but during the process, he was glanced at by the Joyseeker, Aha, and the next moment, he was reincarnated as Huo Yuhao.
Perhaps due to the mystery of the womb, his memories only awakened when he fused with the Tianmeng.
"I... a Pathstrider?"
So-called Pathstriders are the lucky ones among the vast sea of people, glanced upon by an Aeon, thus obtaining the Aeon's Path.
By continuously following the Path, one can gain the Aeon's power.
"No... no, I am an Emanator of Elation!"
Emanators, the most powerful beings under an Aeon, possess part of the Aeon's authority and strength.
The combat power of an Emanator mainly depends on how much strength the Aeon is willing to bestow, and it can also be enhanced by following the Path.
It's not necessarily that a Pathstrider is weaker than an Emanator.
When a Pathstrider has walked far on their Path, even surpassing the combat power of an Emanator is possible.
For example, that non-Emanator Emanator, the "Emanator" of Nihility—Acheron.
"Help! They're killing the worm!!"
At this moment, Tianmeng in Huo Yuhao's consciousness panicked and cried out.
It had thought that the human child it was merging with was harmless and would be easy to guide.
It never expected that this guy was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing!
The vast and boundless sea of consciousness, with an illusory mask seated at its center.
Just a glance at this mask made the soul of this million-year soul beast tremble, facing the danger of complete annihilation.
What made Tianmeng even more helpless was that it had originally planned to seal its own power into ten parts, merging with Huo Yuhao as he grew.
But this mask was unreasonable, disregarding all rules, directly seizing its million years of essence!
In an instant, its million years of cultivation were refined!
"Hmm~ is that all? Truly weak and feeble."
A teasing female voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness, and as the voice appeared, the mask gradually solidified.
In the next moment, a pink light broke away, traversing the barriers of the sea of consciousness, "disappearing to who knows where."
"What... what exactly is that?"
Tianmeng, having narrowly escaped disaster, was full of vigilance, its small eyes wide open, somewhat bewildered.
"I do not know either, but the strength of this being must be terrifyingly formidable."
"???"
Tianmeng was slightly stunned, instinctively looking at the gray bead beside it, its eye twitching.
This guy was the one who fought with it over Huo Yuhao, but who would have thought, we all fell together!
"Old man, you also tried to snatch him from me, huh? Serves you right!"
"Big worm, although I am not as strong as the previous one or the owner of this mask, in my prime, crushing you would have been effortless!"
"Even without my past memories and strength, once I recover a bit, I can crush your spiritual body!"
"You... you... you! How dare you!"
Huo Yuhao: "..."
Ignoring Tianmeng and Electrolux, Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.
This mask was exactly the Mask of Elation, identical to the one on Aha's face.
The voice earlier, as a fan of Honkai Star Rail, was all too familiar.
"Sparkle!"
Good grief, Huahuo had also come to Douluo Continent and had been residing in his sea of consciousness for over a decade!
As for the whereabouts of Tianmeng's energy, Huo Yuhao didn't care, just as Huahuo said, it was just a tiny bit!
"Such a sea of consciousness, such power, truly intoxicating."
"It's time to do something interesting... no, the Joyous Aeon above, I should follow your path!"
Huo Yuhao wasn't bad, he was just following Aha's path.
All karma, let it be upon Aha!
Aha: "..."
Indeed, worthy of being His Emanator, mad enough, He likes it!
After a while, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, and what met his gaze was a petite figure with stunning beauty.
"Little black hair, you're awake?"
The "girl," dressed in a skirt, sat on Huo Yuhao.
Despite her petite size, she wasn't heavy, and her kaleidoscope-like eyes flashed with a pink light.
"The most beautiful, kindest, prettiest Lady Huahuo in the universe, could you please get off me first?"
Upon seeing Huahuo, Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned, but his face remained expressionless.
He had thought Huahuo had left, but she hadn't, and had been guarding by his side.
Indeed, the prejudices in people's hearts are like a mountain.
Huahuo is just a jester, she's not a villain.
Upon hearing this, a blush flashed across Huahuo's face, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
This little black-haired guy is really interesting, truly worthy of being an Emanator of the Joyous Aeon, and also the former little gray-haired one...
Standing up without showing any emotion, Huahuo touched her chin, slightly tilting her head to look at Huo Yuhao.
"Little black hair, so where should we go to find some fun next?"
Huo Yuhao did not directly answer Huahuo's question but first checked his own condition.
Without using the strength of an Emanator, his soul power had already reached level 20, and the specific level would be known only after obtaining the second soul ring.
The first soul ring was not white but a true platinum color, a million-year soul ring.
The four soul skills provided by Tianmeng were slightly different from those in the original timeline.
First Soul Skill: Spirit Detection.
Second Soul Skill: Spiritual Sharing.
Third Soul Skill: Imitation.
Fourth Soul Skill: Soul Impact.
This body had been completely changed the moment his memories awakened, far from the previous body with blocked meridians and innate level one soul power.
Due to the power of the Path, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes martial soul had also undergone "some" changes.
After finishing the inventory of gains, Huo Yuhao looked at Huahuo, this once particularly beloved waifu, now standing vividly before him.
After a moment of thought, Huo Yuhao's lips curled slightly, his eyes like a pie chart, carrying three parts coolness, three parts mockery, and four parts nonchalance.
"I do have a good idea!"
Huo Yuhao said without showing any emotion, a flash of hatred passing through his eyes.
As an Emanator of Elation, even revenge must be carried out in a joyful manner!
Making the enemy suffer and oneself happy, isn't that also a form of joy?
"Tell me, what's the good idea?"
Huahuo widened her eyes, full of curiosity.
Rumor has it that when boys gather together and one says he has a good idea, he might really have a good idea.
"I heard that Shrek Academy has an eight-level soul-guided bomb. If we could get our hands on it and then blow up the White Tiger Duke's mansion…"

Some terms for people who don't play Honkai Star Rail:
Sparkle and Huahuo are names of one person. I used Sparkle only once so there wouldn't be any misunderstanding.
Aeon = God in Honkai Star Rail
Pathstrider = We can describe it as a power system like the soul master in Douluo.
Path: It's like martial soul in simple terms
Elation = It is a Path of Joy and it's God or Aeon is Aha
Emanator = We can describe them somewhat as apostles of God like they Pathstrider whose power is directly appointed by Aeon or God.
