MTLNOVEL Chapter 25: Bringing Silver Dragon King's Protection
Walking out of the room, Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly as he secretly reviewed his performance and Gu Yuena's changing expressions, feeling more assured in his heart.
Compared to the Silver Dragon King, what advantages did he possess?
Some knowledge related to the divine realm and the gods, the wisdom of the Elder Yi, the mark of the Divine Seal Throne, and the calm mind cultivated over ten thousand years... It wasn't much, but it was enough.
Compensate for weaknesses with strengths, and make up for the big with the small!
Using the Divine Seal Throne's aura and a bit of information to exchange for an equal divine status wasn't a bad deal.
As for why he appeared so ordinary, just look at the reincarnated God King Tang, doesn't it suddenly seem reasonable?
There were many problems he couldn't solve, but the current situation hadn't pushed him into a corner yet.
The Silver Dragon King and Tang San's divine consciousness were different.
Huo Yuhao couldn't be certain of her state, nor could he gamble on whether she could recover her god-level strength after paying the price.
After all, even he, when truly desperate, could maintain quasi-god combat power and the spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm level for a period of time by drawing on the origins of his 10,000-year-old self.
According to Di Tian, Gu Yuena's strength surpassed that of the plane's lord and wouldn't be suppressed.
If she paid the price to unleash the power of a first-level god... the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thus, only deterrence could be used.
The benefits were obvious.
In the future, as long as he wasn't exposed, Gu Yuena wouldn't proceed with the original plot's plan, which could be considered one of his safeguards.
However, there was a price to pay for letting Gu Yuena mistake him for a god.
Once exposed, she would likely kill him without hesitation.
But there was no such thing as having the best of both worlds.
It was only natural to earn the respect of the Silver Dragon King as a human.
"It's a bit stressful."
Huo Yuhao shook his head secretly, then chuckled.
Compared to the God King of the Divine Realm who personally watched over him ten thousand years ago, what was this slight pressure now?
Still, it was time to explain things to them.
In the sea of spirits, Huo Yuhao's spiritual incarnation had just appeared when the three beings turned their somewhat complicated gazes toward him.
This wasn't surprising, as he had never mentioned the biggest secret involving himself, the seal of the Divine Seal Throne, and Tianmeng had never seen his memories.
"Yuhao, you..."
Bing Bing hesitated.
"Bingbing, don't ask."
Before Bing Bing could continue, Tianmeng interjected solemnly, "I believe Yuhao has his reasons for keeping this from us."
Bing Bing shot him a glance. "Hmph, are you implying I don't trust Yuhao?"
She paused, then turned back to Huo Yuhao and sighed. "I just don't want him to carry everything on his own."
Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena hadn't communicated much, but their interactions had allowed the others to piece together a few things.
For instance, Gu Yuena might know about the gods, or even be the reincarnation of one.
There was also a mark deep within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
They knew it wasn't ordinary, but they hadn't expected it to be so significant that it could provoke the jealousy of a god.
Now that they thought about it, Yuhao had never seemed interested in becoming a god.
Perhaps it was because he knew that ascending to godhood would be a disaster for him.
"Because it involves the gods, you can't help him, and he doesn't want us to worry."
Electrolux's gaze shifted to the Divine Seal Throne mark in the depths of Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, then back to Huo Yuhao himself.
His tone carried a rare hint of reproach. "But why didn't you tell me? Now that you've grown up, do you think your teacher and I are no longer capable?"
He understood clearly that Huo Yuhao might possess something extraordinary, but it couldn't be the power of a god.
Those messages he had shared likely came from the Divine Seal Throne.
"Elder Yi, I don't think that way at all. I also want you to be at your best when you're resurrected."
Huo Yuhao offered a gentle smile. "Besides, as people grow up, they naturally develop their own privacy."
"But since I'm here now, I don't plan to keep hiding it from you. I won't reveal the specific source of the information, but are you ready? Our enemy is the gods."
Tianmeng chuckled. "If Yuhao is the reincarnation of a god, then we naturally have nothing to fear. If you're not, then we still don't need to worry. You've managed to deceive a god as a mere human, which makes that god seem not so impressive after all."
"She is the Silver Dragon King, the Dragon God, and the co-ruler of the soul beasts."
Tianmeng: "..."
Well, that backfired. Now it feels like I've insulted myself.
Bing Bing frowned. "I once heard Xue'er mention that the true master of the Star Dou Great Forest isn't Di Tian—is it her?"
"That's correct."
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered as he began to explain, detailing the existence of the Abyss, Tang San's divine sense, the lord of the plane, the two dragon kings, and the Dragon God.
As for the Great God Circle, it was still too distant.
If he was confident he could handle it, he would discuss it later. If not, he would make arrangements for Elder Yi and the others.
"So, they all have limitations?"
Tianmeng, who had initially thought their enemies were all full-powered, unrestricted gods, felt a wave of relief wash over him.
All that worry for nothing. Except for the Abyss Saint Monarch, weren't these just a bunch of crippled gods?
We can handle this.
"Well, even the state of Tang San's divine sense, I doubt it compares to Elder Yi." Huo Yuhao glanced at Electrolux's condensed spirit body.
After 10,000 years of accumulation, Electrolux today could perceive the external situation at any time, had amassed a considerable amount of divine sense power, and had remained consistently awake.
Compared to Tang San's divine sense, his state was far superior.
It was likely that the Golden Dragon King's Divine Core had absorbed most of Tang San's divine sense power.
After all, every time Tang Wulin lifted the seal,
Tang San's divine consciousness seemed to react as if facing a great threat.
Bing Bing was puzzled. "Yuhao, why did you approach the Seagod's Divine Sense? If he rarely observes the outside world, or learns of your existence through Tang Wulin, wouldn't that spell trouble?"
"Tang Wulin is about to break through the seal. That wisp of divine consciousness wouldn't dare to be distracted. Plus, with the safeguards prepared by Elder Yi and me, I'll be fine. As for the purpose..."
Huo Yuhao countered with a question, "Bing Bing, who do you think is more threatening, me or the Silver Dragon King? And between the Silver Dragon King and Tang San's Divine Sense, who poses a greater danger to me for now?"
"Of course, it's the Silver Dragon King. Her state is superior to everyone else's. If she becomes dissatisfied with the status quo and takes extreme measures, the Spirit Pagoda could be destroyed because of her."
As Bing Bing spoke, she frowned. "Are you planning to expose the existence of the Silver Dragon King to Tang San's Divine Sense?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. "Exactly. Even if the Silver Dragon King doesn't come to the East Sea City, I'll take advantage of the fact that Tang San's divine sense isn't a significant threat and ensure she makes an appearance in front of it."
His plan was to escort the Silver Dragon King into Tang San's awareness, letting her draw attention.
At the same time, he would use Tang San and the Lord of the Plane to contain the Silver Dragon King, preventing Gu Yuena from overturning the board entirely.
This had been his strategy ever since he learned about Gu Yuena's involvement with the Spirit Pagoda.
In this life, retreating from the world to cultivate like he had in his previous life wasn't an option.
If Tang San's divine sense had the ability to observe the outside world, especially since Huo Yuhao hadn't ascended to the god realm, it was only a matter of time before Tang San learned of his existence.
Rather than waiting passively, it was better to take the initiative and minimize the risks.
"Moreover, now that she's taken the initiative to come, it's even more crucial to go to Eastsea Academy."
Huo Yuhao smiled. "If that person truly has awareness, and I appear before him alongside the Silver Dragon King, given my understanding of him, he's bound to overthink the situation."
Huo Yuhao didn't need to elaborate further. Both Bing Bing and Tianmeng could easily imagine the scene.
Huo Yuhao and the Silver Dragon King appearing together, with Huo Yuhao not yet a god, would likely lead Tang San to assume that Huo Yuhao had been absorbed or manipulated by the Silver Dragon King.
Tang San might even conclude that the Spirit Pagoda was built by the Silver Dragon King to secure a foundation for the soul beasts, allowing them to dominate the world ten thousand years later!
But when they considered that, in the eyes of the Silver Dragon King, Huo Yuhao was a reincarnated god... both Bing Bing and Tianmeng couldn't help but feel a twinge of nervousness.
