Chapter 436: Huo Yuhao's Plan
If Tang San had personally sent a God King level divine sense here, it would have been a major problem. However, since it was only a Priest level divine sense, it was no match for the combined power of the Plane's Will and Electrolux.
With their combined strength, eliminating a Priest level divine sense was a trivial task.
The only concern was that Tang San's real body was still a God King, and if he became enraged over the destruction of his divine sense, he might send an even stronger version next time.
That said, under normal circumstances, Tang San would never entrust only a Priest level divine sense to protect his daughter.
This proved that Huo Yuhao's past actions had forced Tang San to exercise caution.
Indeed, Destruction, who had always disliked Tang San, had played a key role at this critical moment his opposition had noticeably curbed Tang San's arrogance.
"Alright." Electrolux agreed.
Huo Yuhao then brought up a light screen, requesting the Plane's Will to broadcast the current status of Shrek Academy's group.
Moments later, the figures of Shrek's team appeared on the screen.
Huo Yuhao wasn't just watching for fun his real goal was to monitor their progress in Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley in real time.
If he wanted to shake the foundations of Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley and seize its benefits, he needed to keep track of their trials.
After all, the valley's existence was most likely tied to the remains and divinity of the Love God.
By all logic, divine remains should be far more enduring than mortal bodies, meaning that the Love God's corpse should still be here.
Even more importantly
Among the three great treasure troves, Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley was ranked first, above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
At first glance, this ranking seemed questionable after all, the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were immensely valuable.
But if Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley had been ranked so highly, it couldn't just be because of three measly trials and a few mediocre rewards, all followed by Tang San cosplaying as the Love God and kicking people out.
That would be ridiculous.
This led Huo Yuhao to speculate
The Love God's divinity must still exist, even if it had fractured.
This made sense divine thrones did not vanish upon a god's death; they simply broke apart and remained in the world.
A perfect example was the Phoenix God.
When the Phoenix God fought the Dragon God, they lost and perished, yet their broken divinity remained eventually allowing Ma Hongjun to inherit it.
Of course, the current Phoenix God was nowhere near as powerful as the original Ma Hongjun's divine throne was weaker.
Even so, he was still considered one of the strongest Tier Two Gods.
This meant that Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley likely operated on a similar system.
Like the Sea God's Nine Trials, the valley's trials assessed candidates before rewarding them with benefits.
Huo Yuhao strongly suspected that this was actually a self operating divine inheritance system, similar to a pre set program.
But because the Love God had fallen, the divine throne had shattered, leaving behind a much smaller trial system compared to the Sea God's inheritance.
Since Huo Yuhao was already here, there was no reason not to claim the Love God's throne and remains for himself.
He had zero interest in becoming the Love God.
However
Aside from Destruction and a few other ancient gods, most divine thrones were formed from faith energy.
Which meant
If divine thrones could be formed from faith, they could also be converted back into pure faith energy.
Energy was interchangeable.
Huo Yuhao had already decided
Once he obtained the Love God's divine throne, he would find a way to break it down, converting it into faith energy.
This would allow him to significantly expand his reserves of divine faith energy.
Faith energy could be transformed into immortal spiritual energy, accelerating his cultivation and helping him forge his own divine throne.
And as for the Love God's remains
A divine corpse still had immense value.
Soon, he said, "Teacher, Plane's Will I plan to embed a fragment of my spirit into Ning Tian, using her as a cover.
Once Ning Tian clears the trial, I can claim the status of a successful challenger.
That way, I'll be able to fully explore Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley and see if it contains what I'm looking for.
If it does, then I'll take everything."
Electrolux and the Plane's Will exchanged thoughts briefly before agreeing.
Then, with their combined cover, a fragment of Huo Yuhao's consciousness quietly merged into Ning Tian's body.
Huo Yuhao was confident in this plan.
After all
Tang San had only sent a Priest level divine sense this time.
The Plane's Will was already above the Priest level, and Electrolux's techniques were far more refined than Tang San's.
To put it bluntly
Even Tang San's so called "divine sense nodes" were nothing but child's play in Electrolux's eyes easily dismantled at will.
Moreover, with the Plane's Will supporting him, Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley couldn't trap him.
He had deliberately waited for Tang San to begin the trials before making his move.
Why Huo Yuhao Chose Ning Tian
Huo Yuhao specifically chose Ning Tian to increase the chances of passing the trials.
In the original timeline, Shrek's team only survived the trials because Huo Yuhao had warned them
Telling them that they must answer truthfully in Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley.
Why?
Because the original Huo Yuhao had read Tang San's Hidden Scripture at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He recognized the valley's name and knew its rules.
Without his warning, Shrek's team would have failed.
Now, with Huo Yuhao absent, they had zero understanding of this place.
Their chances of passing had plummeted.
Of course
Tang San wouldn't kill them, nor would he trap them for decades.
But Ning Tian was different.
She was the young mistress of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
In the original story, two people controlled Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley
One was Tang San.
The other?
Huo Yuhao strongly suspected it was Ning Rongrong.
His reasoning was simple.
The original valley overseer spoke in a gender neutral voice clearly deliberately hiding their identity.
And during Ning Tian and Wu Feng's trial, this overseer displayed obvious nervousness around a descendant of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Later, during Bei Bei's trial, the overseer humiliated him by forcing him to castrate himself, showing a clear mischievous streak.
And when questioning Dai Huabin, they adamantly supported monogamy and casually referred to Dai Mubai as "Boss Dai."
Who else could it be but Ning Rongrong?
Among Shrek's original Seven Devils, only Ning Rongrong would have done something like this.
