Chapter 508 Lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot; Leng Yaozhu: When will I be able to see the future of our ancestor?
After all, not every master craftsman can be like Huo Yuhao, completely unaffected by the Heavenly Forging Tribulation.
For ordinary god-level blacksmiths, after too many Heavenly Forging attempts, they could actually die instantly on the forging table under the lightning tribulation that strikes directly at their very core.
However, that doesn't mean Huo Yuhao liked to stay in his room all day and train day and night.
A twitch involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth. After suppressing the urge to pull his leg away, Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, I understand. I'll stay here and focus on forging during this time. But relying solely on the power of the Dawn Tower is probably not enough to guarantee the final victory in this battle."
I told you before that above the Tower of Dawn lies the Tower of Divine Transmission, an even higher level. Only after it is forged can we perhaps have the confidence to face Poseidon, the sea god who may become our enemy.
Upon hearing this, Ling Zichen was overjoyed and jumped up on the spot, excitedly replying, "I will never let down the ancestor's trust in me! I will work tirelessly day and night to improve and perfect the design of the Divine Transmission Tower as soon as possible!"
Nothing could excite Ling Zichen, this research fanatic, more than being able to see a more advanced soul tool creation with his own eyes.
The saying "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening" is perfectly embodied in her.
After spending some time completing the initial design drawings for the Divine Pagoda and handing them over to Ling Zichen, Huo Yuhao once again began his tireless forging life in this rather luxurious and soundproof forging room.
Meanwhile, the love and meat between heaven and earth.
Dai Yun'er stared in disbelief at the emergency news footage being broadcast on the Soul Guidance TV in front of her.
How is that possible!
My father has always prioritized the stability of the country. How could he possibly suddenly order such an undeclared war of annihilation against the Douling Empire?
Dai Yun'er had already made plans, waiting for the right time to take Huo Yuhao back to her most loyal empire and show off to her family.
Now, something unexpected has clearly happened within the Star Luo Empire.
But this is Douluo Continent, separated from Star Luo Continent by a vast ocean.
Given the vast distance, Dai Yun'er seemed to have no good solutions other than staying put and getting anxious.
The other girls, who already knew Dai Yun'er's true identity, could naturally see the strange look on her face.
Wu Siduo patted Dai Yun'er on the shoulder and suggested directly, "Don't panic, Yun'er, let's go find Yuhao. He should know what happened."
"Yes, I'm going to find Yuhao—"
Just like a stray kitten that has suffered all kinds of grievances and can finally return home, Dai Yun'er instantly found her pillar of support.
She couldn't stay there a moment longer; she just wanted to get back into Huo Yuhao's warm embrace and find solace to calm her heart.
And so, the group of girls set off in a grand procession.
They first went to find Yali, who was still teaching Nanali the proper maid etiquette. After explaining the situation and getting her consent, they left Qiankun Wenqing Valley together and headed towards the address Huo Yuhao had left earlier.
SI EE E n
A few days later, they used the bustling construction work in Tiandou City as a cover-up.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...
In a newly built complex, nine towers with a metallic texture gradually rise from the ground.
If viewed from above, one can see that the arrangement of these nine towers is quite sophisticated.
Eight relatively short Dawn Towers are distributed in a very special pattern at various locations in Tiandou City, surrounding the most central Divine Transmission Tower as if guarding a monarch.
By carefully sensing the energy fluctuations flowing between the towers, one can perceive that each of the eight Dawn Towers contains completely different elemental attributes, which perfectly represent the eight most basic elemental powers in the Douluo plane.
The elemental energy it contains is being slowly and steadily transmitted to the central Divine Transmission Tower through energy transmission arrays scattered throughout the underground of Tiandou City.
Although prior to this, Ling Zichen had successfully solved the energy supply problem of the Dawn Tower by utilizing a special sorting and combination technology of the single positive circulation source core.
However, when facing the higher-level Transmission Tower, the required energy increases exponentially, and the source cores alone are clearly no longer sufficient to meet the tower's basic operating needs.
At Huo Yuhao's suggestion, Ling Zichen took a different approach, using the eight Dawn Towers to absorb and condense the various elemental forces floating in the world in advance, thereby indirectly solving the energy problem of the Divine Transmission Tower.
The deadline for the joint campaign against Haotian Sect and Tang Hao is approaching.
To avoid civilian casualties, the people who survived the massive explosion in Tiandou City had already been secretly transferred by the federal government to surrounding cities for resettlement.
The people who can still move around and even live in Tiandou City today are undoubtedly civilians disguised as elite soldiers urgently drawn from the eight legions.
After all, the Haotian Sect's headquarters is neither too close nor too far from Tiandou City.
Given the need for a surprise attack, the federal government naturally dared not conduct a large-scale military deployment.
At this moment, inside the Pagoda of Divine Transmission, located in the center of the city.
Having just finished a day of intense forging work, Huo Yuhao dragged his slightly tired body out of the forging room.
Nanali, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately came up with a warm towel to greet Huo Yuhao as soon as he came out, and carefully wiped away his sweat.
Looking at Nanali's serious and meticulous demeanor, and seeing that she wasn't wearing her usual gothic-style dress but instead, quite unusually, a traditional black and white maid outfit, Huo Yuhao felt a bit awkward.
Even though Yali had said beforehand that Nanali had successfully passed the entire professional maid etiquette course assessment.
But this lingering sense of unease still made Huo Yuhao feel uncomfortable all over, so he could only gently try to dissuade him.
"Alright, Nanali, you really don't need to be so reserved in front of me. I can handle these little things myself, and there are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be so serious."
"No!"
Nanali shook her head resolutely and retorted, "Teacher Yali taught me that as your most intimate maid, my words and actions represent your reputation."
Therefore, one must always maintain the highest level of etiquette, no matter when or where, and must never act recklessly or arbitrarily just because of the master's favor; that is against the rules.
At this point, Nanali's expression became even more serious.
Throughout the entire process of wiping Huo Yuhao's sweat, she was very proper and respectful, without even making her usual unwanted advances. Her serious and professional demeanor made her seem like a true maid.
Looking at the petite girl in front of him, who was a head shorter than him, and seeing her say such things against her conscience without batting an eye, Huo Yuhao was speechless for a moment, and also quite helpless.
"Alright, stop pretending. Yali set off for Devil Island not long ago. Besides transplanting those immortal herbs next to the core of life, she also needs to contact the Goddess of Life again to discuss the next steps."
She probably won't be back anytime soon, so you really don't need to put on such a show for me. I won't secretly tell her about this either.
Nanali might be able to deceive Yali, but in front of him, she couldn't hide her true emotional changes at all.
"Oh, Master, why didn't you say so sooner? Little Bell has been pretending for so long, I'm exhausted."
Hearing that Yali wasn't there, Nanali breathed a sigh of relief.
But when she thought of Yali's harsh, even sadistic, teaching methods, her expression fell again, and she complained pitifully, "Master, you have no idea how fierce that girl is in class. She punishes this and that at the drop of a hat. Little Bell even dreams of her being punished with a pointer at night."
During that time, I really couldn't eat or sleep, and I felt like I lost several pounds. Don't believe me, Master, just touch me, *crying*
Having received Huo Yuhao's permission, Nanali could no longer keep up the act.
God knows how hard she had to endure to appear so obedient just now.
She pounced on him, clinging to Huo Yuhao's chest like an octopus, rubbing her face against his chest and occasionally letting out some inexplicable giggles.
"Hehe—as expected, if I don't smell your scent for a day, Little Bell feels uncomfortable all over, as if my life has lost its meaning."
Looking at the petite girl who couldn't stop snuggling into his arms, Huo Yuhao found her infatuated behavior somewhat troublesome, but it was clearly more acceptable than her pretentious and prim and proper demeanor from before.
He shook his head and gently patted Nanali's back.
Before he could even offer a few words of comfort, Nanali's tone suddenly changed, and her raised eyes revealed an astonishing resentment.
"Master, Little Bell arrived first! Becoming your personal maid, or being the first to see your entire body, should have been Little Bell's happiness. But why—why did it turn out like this?"
Faced with Nanali's increasingly eerie laughter and her clearly resentful gaze, Huo Yuhao glared at her irritably and unceremoniously reached out, grabbed Nanali's face, and pulled it outwards.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch—Master, let go—" "Hmph, you still have the nerve to bring this up? I haven't even settled accounts with you yet. Don't you even remember what I told you on that Soul Guidance Train?"
How dare you be so audacious back then, even scaring that little girl Xinglan into developing psychological trauma? Do you know that she was such a good young girl, and the sword path she had pursued her whole life was completely ruined by you—”
At this point, Huo Yuhao felt a headache coming on.
He truly hadn't expected that his sword would unexpectedly become the embodiment of that young girl Ye Xinglan's swordsmanship.
Even more outrageous is that after that day, Ye Xinglan broke through to the Sword God realm with extremely smooth speed.
What kind of nonsense is this?!
After hearing Huo Yuhao's complaints, Nanali regretted her actions even more and burst into tears.
Upon realizing that her previous actions had backfired spectacularly, she burst into tears, unable to catch her breath.
"Waaah—I don't care, Little Bell doesn't care! I also want to seize Master's future just like Ye Xinglan. Master, Little Bell is your most devoted little maid, you can't favor one over the other!"
Just then, the women who had been led into the room by Leng Yulai paused, all of them clearly hearing Nanali's tearful yet information-rich statement.
Their expressions simultaneously became unusually subtle, and they all turned their heads, their gazes fixed on Ye Xinglan standing at the front of the group.
Despite the complex gazes from the crowd, Ye Xinglan showed no sign of embarrassment.
Instead, he stood ramrod straight, his starry eyes sparkling with pure light, and even his words were righteous and resounding.
"Teacher Yuhao's future is the swordsmanship I pursue throughout my life, and my swordsmanship is to forever protect Teacher Yuhao's future from harm. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er and Wu Siduo shook their heads repeatedly, indicating that there was absolutely no problem with it.
The fact that the two of them were able to so easily and decisively win over Huo Yuhao was largely due to Ye Xinglan's divine assistance.
Of the girls who came with them, only Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue, who were kept in the dark, were still completely confused.
The two looked at Ye Xinglan and then at Dai Yun'er and the others with puzzled expressions, completely unable to understand what this so-called future was all about.
Although Gu Yue had long known about the indescribable intimate things that had happened between Ye Xinglan and Huo Yuhao.
But how does this so-called future relate to the swordsmanship that Ye Xinglan comprehended?
Clearly, this is not a simple matter of romantic love between a man and a woman.
Gu Yue frowned slightly, pondering to himself.
Could it be that Huo Yuhao was doing *that* kind of thing while explaining the true meaning of swordsmanship to Ye Xinglan?
That's just too shameless.
Even if that were the case, in Gu Yue's view, Huo Yuhao's true future should be to have a child with Gu Yuena as soon as possible, a child with pure dragon god bloodline.
Only in this way can the new generation of Dragon Gods be established, thereby changing the tragic situation of the beast race in this universe.
As Gu Yue's teacher, Leng Yaozhu's thoughts at this moment were clearly very similar to those of her disciple.
Looking at Ye Xinglan's determined expression, she smiled and said, "Xinglan is truly a peerless genius to have broken through to the Sword God realm at such a young age."
It seems our ancestor's "future" is truly remarkable. I wonder if there will ever be a chance for Haruka to witness this wondrous "future" with her own eyes.
This was originally just a polite greeting, but these words caused the expressions of the other girls present who knew the inside story to change slightly.
Leng Yulai, in particular, almost lost control of her expression and wanted to burst out laughing on the spot.
