After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, the room fell into silence once again.
It was as if someone had filled the room with water, swallowing all sound, leaving only the breathing of the three people rising and falling in the stagnant air.
Di Tian did not answer Huo Yuhao's question. He sat back down, his movements very slow, as if he were digesting this shocking piece of information.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "In the World of Ten Thousand Years ago, I went to the Core Circle of Star Dou. Not only did I meet Senior Di Tian, but I also met that mysterious Lord!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Di Tian and Gu Yue's breathing hitched once again.
Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at Gu Yue, a gentle smile on his face. "That Lord, just like you, also has a pair of purple eyes, and her aura was very similar to yours when I first met you."
"So, when I noticed Senior Di Tian's respect toward you, I guessed you were that Lord's daughter. Now, it seems I was indeed correct."
Gu Yue had a smile on her face, but in her heart, she was wondering, was she really that impulsive Ten Thousand Years ago? How could she just meet a human so casually?
At this moment, she had completely forgotten about the Reverse Scale she had given to Huo Yuhao, and naturally, she hadn't considered the chain reaction her past self would have felt upon sensing the Reverse Scale Ten Thousand Years ago.
Di Tian's deep golden dragon eyes flickered constantly. Although what Huo Yuhao said was unbelievable, he felt that Huo Yuhao wouldn't just make things up about this matter.
Di Tian lowered his head, a fierce light flashing deep within his eyes.
His voice already rang out in Gu Yue's mind: "My Lord, he cannot be allowed to remain!"
Gu Yue did not reply.
Her gaze fell upon her knees, her silver eyes cast down, her long eyelashes concealing the emotions surging deep within her eyes.
Di Tian's voice transmission did not pause as he continued, "In this era, the Divine Realm has disappeared, and humans cannot become gods. But Huo Yuhao can transmigrate back to the World of Ten Thousand Years ago, and he is bound to become a god there."
"My Lord's ten-thousand-year grand plan is the hope of the Soul Beast Clan. Now, this Huo Yuhao..."
Di Tian's gaze lingered on Huo Yuhao's youthful profile for a moment, a cold killing intent once again flashing deep within his eyes.
"...is the greatest variable!"
It had to be said, Huo Yuhao had still underestimated his opponent!
He felt that given his relationship with Gu Yue, no matter how notoriously fierce Di Tian was, he wouldn't go so far as to make a move against him.
After all, in the trajectory of history, Di Tian had never laid a hand on the young Huo Yuhao.
But what Huo Yuhao did not know was that the current situation was completely different from Ten Thousand Years ago.
The Silver Dragon King's ten-thousand-year grand plan concerned the survival of the entire Soul Beast Clan, and could not afford the slightest mistake.
And Di Tian had witnessed the betrayal of humans; his trust in humanity had long since been completely eroded.
The Beast God, who back then could still feel a bit of appreciation for the Spirit Ice Douluo, now had only one thought left in his heart: anyone who threatened his Lord's grand plan must be eliminated.
Therefore, it was precisely due to his misjudgment that he still did not know he had already fallen into danger.
And in the face of Di Tian's voice transmission, Gu Yue's reply was very simple, containing only two words: "No."
Di Tian was clearly stunned, obviously not expecting Gu Yue to refuse so flatly.
His brow furrowed even tighter, and the tone in his voice transmission grew urgent: "Why? His existence already poses a threat to us."
Compared to Di Tian's excitement, Gu Yue's voice was much calmer.
"Yuhao being able to transmigrate back to Ten Thousand Years ago might also be of use to us."
She paused, her gaze still cast down, looking neither at Di Tian nor at Huo Yuhao.
"Furthermore, he only said these things because he trusts me. I cannot betray his trust."
Hearing this, a clear flash of unwillingness crossed Di Tian's eyes.
He fell silent for a moment before transmitting his voice again: "My Lord, now is not the time to act on emotion! Huo Yuhao is far too special; his existence is the greatest variable. We have planned for Ten Thousand Years, and we cannot leave this hidden danger."
Gu Yue said with an unyielding attitude, "I am not acting on emotion. I am clearer of mind than ever before."
Di Tian wanted to say more: "My Lord..."
Gu Yue turned her head slightly, her purple eyes casting a cool glance at Di Tian.
There was no anger, no rebuke, nor even any obvious emotional fluctuation in that glance, yet the words Di Tian was about to transmit were forced back down his throat.
Gu Yue then said, "Alright, there is no need to say any more. I have my own considerations!"
Di Tian's lips twitched slightly, but in the end, he did not make another sound.
His gaze darkened, complex light churning within his golden dragon eyes before finally settling into an oppressed calm.
Just then, with a bang, the door was opened from the outside, and Han Tianyi's figure appeared at the doorway.
His gaze first swept across the room, and then he visibly paused.
When he left not long ago, this room was perfectly fine; while not magnificent, it was at least neat and tidy.
But now...
Several chairs were overturned, the teacups on the table were in disarray, and two of them had already rolled onto the floor.
A potted dwarf pine in the corner looked as if it had been swept by some force; the pot was tilted, and half of the soil had spilled out.
Even the low table by the window had been moved out of place, sitting askew where it shouldn't be.
The entire room looked as though it had just been ransacked, a complete mess everywhere.
Han Tianyi's expression changed slightly, and he asked with a frown, "What happened?"
Huo Yuhao reacted quickly, taking over the conversation in a light tone: "It's nothing, Teacher. We were just talking about the Holy Spirit Cult. Uncle Gu got angry for a moment and couldn't suppress his aura, losing his temper a bit."
Han Tianyi looked at Di Tian's expressionless face, not believing Huo Yuhao's explanation.
However, he then breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what had actually happened, as long as Huo Yuhao was fine, it was fine.
He withdrew his gaze, straightened his expression, and said, "Leng Yaozhu already knows about the matters here. After this failure, the Holy Spirit Cult probably won't make another move for a short while."
Huo Yuhao nodded, his face remaining peaceful, but in his heart, he had firmly recorded these two debts of Qiangu Dongfeng and the Holy Spirit Cult.
He wouldn't settle these debts for the time being, but one day, he would settle them clearly, one by one.
With Han Tianyi's appearance, the atmosphere in the room seemed to return to its previous peacefulness.
Di Tian sat to the side, coldly watching Gu Yue and Huo Yuhao chatting and laughing.
No emotion could be seen on his face, but in his heart, a plan had already slowly formed.
Since Gu Yue did not agree to take action, he would contact Na'er.
Even though Gu Yue was the dominant one between the two, Na'er was still his Lord, after all.
Of the two bodies split from the Silver Dragon King, what Gu Yue disagreed with, Na'er might not necessarily oppose.
Everything he did was for his Lord's ten-thousand-year grand plan.
