Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
============================
Compared to the God of Destruction's appearance and aura, which instinctively made people wary, the Goddess of Life felt much more approachable to Huo Yuhao.
The rich life force on her was gentle and inclusive, like a warm breeze brushing against one's cheeks in spring, causing one to unconsciously let down their guard.
Huo Yuhao could not judge with one hundred percent certainty whether what they said was true or false, but he thought to himself that given the status of the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction, even if only a wisp of their remnant souls remained, they were still existences that had once stood at the very pinnacle.
Such figures would surely not deign to lie to a junior like him.
Thinking of this, the look of hesitation between Huo Yuhao's brows gradually faded. He raised his head, his eyes, which had become clear and firm once again, meeting the Goddess of Life's gentle gaze.
He then spoke slowly: "My name is Huo Yuhao. In one sense, I am indeed the Huo Yuhao you speak of, but in another sense, I am not that Huo Yuhao."
As soon as these words were spoken, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life opposite him were momentarily stunned.
Huo Yuhao's contradictory statement left the two of them unable to react for a moment.
If he is, then he is; if he isn't, then he isn't. What does "is and is not" mean?
Huo Yuhao saw the confusion of the two God Kings and explained: "I am the Huo Yuhao from Ten Thousand Years ago, the time before the God of Emotions in your memories had become a god."
"Ten Thousand Years ago?" The God of Destruction's brows beneath his hood furrowed even tighter. He subconsciously repeated these three words, his tone full of confusion and bewilderment.
Huo Yuhao let out a long breath and continued: "I am indeed Huo Yuhao, but I am not the God of Emotions who has already achieved godhood Ten Thousand Years later."
"I come from Ten Thousand Years ago. On that timeline, I have not yet inherited a God Position and am just a Spirit Master who has just graduated from Shrek Academy."
"All of this is because of an Opportunity; I possess the ability of Transmigration through time and space, allowing me to move between Ten Thousand Years ago and Ten Thousand Years later."
"That is why I am standing here now, before you two Seniors."
After saying this, the expressions of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life changed simultaneously.
The two former God Kings had lived for who knows how many Ten Thousand Years. They had seen countless Geniuses and heard of all sorts of strange Opportunities, but the ability of Transmigration through Ten Thousand Years of time was something even they had never heard of.
The God of Destruction could not help but take a sharp step forward, his crimson eyes beneath his cloak shooting out two soul-stirring beams of light.
His voice rose slightly in shock, echoing through this Void Realm: "How is that possible? Transmigration through Ten Thousand Years of time—this is an ability that not even a God King possesses!"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly, a flash of surprise crossing his heart.
Previously, Leng Yaozhu had lamented more than once that his ability of Transmigration through time and space was likely something only true gods could master.
But now it seemed that even the God Kings standing at the pinnacle of the God Realm could not do this.
This realization caused an indescribable excitement to well up in Huo Yuhao's heart. In this light, the weight of his Opportunity was likely far beyond his boldest estimations.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and met the eyes of the two God Kings opposite him, which were filled with shock.
He said calmly: "I do not know exactly how it happened, but every word I just said is true; I truly come from Ten Thousand Years ago."
The God of Destruction's crimson eyes trembled violently within the shadows of his cloak, clearly unable to recover from this earth-shattering news.
Space could be torn and time could be distorted, but those were Domains that only the God King level could barely touch the surface of, and the cost was immense, with many restrictions.
To be able to safely travel between Ten Thousand Years without any Divine Power enhancement, relying only on himself like Huo Yuhao, was simply beyond his comprehension.
The God of Destruction remained silent for a long time without saying anything, whereas the Goddess of Life beside him was the first to accept this fact.
She looked at Huo Yuhao and said softly: "I believe what you have said. With such an Opportunity, you will surely be able to go further and stand higher than your original self in the future."
At this point, the Goddess of Life suddenly paused. Her emerald eyes shifted slightly, as if capturing a flash of inspiration. A moment later, her gentle eyes suddenly lit up.
She turned her head abruptly to look at the God of Destruction, who was still standing there dazed, her tone lacking some of its usual gentleness and filled with irrepressible excitement.
"Little Zi, this is an Opportunity."
The God of Destruction was stunned by her sudden excitement. His crimson eyes beneath his hood blinked, and he asked somewhat blankly: "What Opportunity?"
The Goddess of Life took a deep breath and spat out a few words, one by one: "An Opportunity to change fate."
She did not wait for the God of Destruction to react before turning her gaze back to Huo Yuhao.
Those eyes, which had been as gentle as water just moments ago, were now somewhat fervent as she asked: "Little Yuhao, you just said you could Transmigrate through Ten Thousand Years of time. Can you still return to Ten Thousand Years ago? Return to the era you originally belonged to?"
Huo Yuhao looked at the Goddess of Life's eyes, which were filled with hope. He did not hide anything and nodded honestly.
"Yes, every so often, I can Transmigrate through Ten Thousand Years of time."
"However, this power is not under my control. There is no pattern to the timing of the Transmigration, and I cannot predict when it will come in advance."
"So I can only wait passively, and I can only complete the Transmigration when that power appears."
When Huo Yuhao laid out the details of his Transmigration through time and space, the Goddess of Life's emerald eyes suddenly lit up like ignited stars.
She turned around abruptly, her slender fingers trembling slightly with excitement, and grabbed the God of Destruction's arm, which was shrouded in a purple-black cloak.
"Little Zi, our fate is sealed, but we from Ten Thousand Years ago have not yet reached this point!"
"If Little Yuhao can take our message back to Ten Thousand Years ago, to the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life of that timeline."
"Then we can completely change our doomed ending, and we can completely allow the history of that timeline to head down a completely different path!"
At this point, the God of Destruction's crimson eyes, hidden in the shadows of his cloak, also flickered violently.
Yes, this was indeed an Opportunity.
The God of Destruction was silent for a moment, pressing that surging agitation back into the depths of his heart, and then fixed his gaze solemnly on Huo Yuhao.
His voice remained deep and majestic, but it lacked the sense of alienation that had previously kept people at a distance, replaced by a bit of sincerity and frankness.
"Kid, since you have such a Heaven-Defying Opportunity, I will not hide anything from you."
"Back then, the God Realm encountered an unprecedented spacetime turbulence. In order to protect the God Realm from being completely destroyed, the Goddess of Life and I exhausted almost all of our Origin Divine Power to stabilize the God Realm's barrier."
"It is precisely because of this that we fell, and the remaining power we have now is very little."
"To put it bluntly, we cannot pass on our God Position Legacy to you."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's heart sank slightly, thinking that his Opportunity to achieve godhood was indeed not here.
The God of Destruction did not say much more, then raised his arm, his wide purple-black cloak sleeve waving in the Void Realm.
Following his action, a scepter appeared out of thin air in front of Huo Yuhao. This scepter was very long; when stood up, it was even a head taller than him.
The scepter's body was a solidified purple-black, not the texture of ordinary metal, but rather like a true Nine Heavens lightning bolt that had been forcibly solidified and shaped.
The scepter body was slender and smooth, with every curve implicitly matching some profound trajectory of Law.
At the very top of the scepter was embedded a huge light purple orb. That orb was the size of an adult's fist, and inside it surged a thick, almost liquid purple-black light, emitting a strong aura of destruction.
However, Huo Yuhao's gaze was drawn to a shocking notch on the upper part of the scepter.
The edges of the notch were neat, as if it had been slashed by some unimaginable Divine Sharp Weapon in one strike.
This notch caused the aura emitted by the entire scepter, while still terrifying, to faintly reveal a sense of incompleteness.
At this moment, the God of Destruction spoke slowly, his tone mixed with an undisguised sorrow.
"This is my Super Divine Artifact, the Destruction Scepter. However, the scepter body is severely damaged, and it has now fallen from the Super Divine Artifact rank, only able to exert the power of an ordinary Divine Artifact."
