Chapter 84: Tang San's True Scheme
For the current Huo Yuhao, the version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill was somewhat too outdated.
The Limit Three-Word Battle Armor, Emperor Spirit Ice, and the God-rank mecha, divine slash, were both demi-god level equipment, and his own mental force had already reached the Divine Rank.
As a technique for cultivating Soul Power, the level of the Mysterious Heaven Skill was a bit low; although he had obtained the complete version with the help of the Divine Abyss, its boost to his cultivation was still limited.
Huo Yuhao had long ago decided on the direction for improving the Mysterious Heaven Skill, which was the introduction of Destiny Power.

Looking at all of Huo Yuhao's trump cards, the greatest remained the Ten Thousand Year Fortune, and only Destiny Power possessed the Heaven-Defying ability to change one's fate.
However, as early as his Martial Soul's second Awakening, after discovering his own Ten Thousand Year Fortune, Huo Yuhao had felt its uniqueness.
Unlike the Destiny Power converted from life force, the Ten Thousand Year Fortune was more like a passive ability.
Its essence was somewhat similar to spirit gold, continuously providing Huo Yuhao with Destiny Power.
Similarly, he could also forcibly use overloaded Destiny Power in a short period by consuming the Luck itself.
What Huo Yuhao found strange was why there was a backlash.
Logically, even if the Ten Thousand Year Fortune was completely exhausted, it shouldn't deplete his own Luck, yet why did overusing it bring about disaster?
Something was definitely not right; Huo Yuhao opened his gold-glimmering eyes, staring intently at the blindingly thick purple-gold light on his body.
Huo Yuhao rubbed his somewhat dry eyes; after staring at the purple light for half an hour, he had some conjectures.
"Elder Yi, can you help me investigate the source of this Luck power? No need to probe its essence, I just need to know where it has been before."
Inside the Spirit Sea, Electrolux somewhat helplessly set aside his research on faith and, borrowing Huo Yuhao's Law of Life, began to investigate the changes in the Luck's location.
"Quite interesting indeed. Yuhao, your guess should be correct. Before the Ten Thousand Year Fortune chose you, its location was the entire Douluo Continent."
"The entire continent has the aura of the Ten Thousand Year Fortune, right Elder Yi? It really is so."
Having confirmed his conjecture, Huo Yuhao now had a way to proceed further.
The so-called Luck is not a World rule like Destiny Power; it is a convergence of the fates of deceased beings.
Simply put, every Soul Master who had once approached the Divine Rank had Destiny Power that exceeded the rule limits of the Douluo Plane.
Whereas the Destiny Power bestowed upon everyone by the Douluo Plane is within those limits.
In other words, those Soul Masters who broke through part of their limits had exceeded the limits of their own fate.
As long as they failed to become gods, when they passed away, this Destiny Power that exceeded the rule limits would be stored.
The so-called Ten Thousand Year Fortune is the Destiny Power left behind by these experts over the past ten thousand years after failing to break through.
This Destiny Power is not as gentle as that converted from life force; it carries the obsession of those experts to change the World.
The one chosen by them has received both a blessing and a curse.
These obsessions would recklessly burn their own fate to push Huo Yuhao to the position of breaking the World's restrictions and completely sublimating the Douluo Plane.
But similarly, if Huo Yuhao cannot reach that position, these obsessions will turn into life-claiming vengeful Martial Souls, hating the one who failed them.
The backlash of the Auspicious Beast also comes from this; she carried the obsessions of Soul Beasts who died under the Heavenly Tribulation for an unknown number of years.
But now, with the accumulated Luck power almost exhausted, the Soul Beasts show no sign of breaking their restrictions to become gods.
In the eyes of those Soul Beasts, this is simply betrayal. Either don't consume it, or if you consume it heavily without results, who else would be backlashed but you?
In the original timeline, at the moment Huo Yuhao accepted Rong Nianbing's God Position trial and prepared to break through to the Divine Rank by inheriting the God Position, the Ten Thousand Year Fortune also left him.
This was the true reason Tang San attacked him recklessly in the Love-Questioning Valley; Huo Yuhao's early ambitions were too high, and breaking his Dao Heart was the best course of action.
And the next bearer of the Ten Thousand Year Fortune was none other than Tang San's son, Tang Wulin.
Under Tang San's ingenious layout, Tang Wulin defeated the Divine Abyss Plane and, with the help of the Silver Dragon King, fused the Luck of Soul Beasts and Soul Masters, causing the Douluo Plane to upgrade.
Huo Yuhao was right not to underestimate Tang San; Tang San's character might be mediocre, but a God King's schemes were very far-reaching.
First, using Tang Wutong's Divine Sense to trigger the Auspicious Beast's fate backlash in advance, causing feelings to develop between her and Huo Yuhao, then completely shattering Huo Yuhao's Dao Heart in the Love-Questioning Valley, with the scattered Ten Thousand Year Fortune temporarily kept by Niu Tian and Tai Tan in the Lower Realm.
Then, creating a crisis to make the Auspicious Beast sacrifice herself for Huo Yuhao; how could the Luck on the Auspicious Beast choose a human as its hope?
Then came Tang Hao and Ah Yin's descent to the Lower Realm, forcibly gathering the Luck power of Soul Beasts and Soul Masters together.
And after they replaced the Plane's Consciousness and Life Core, they passed it on to Tang Wulin.
At this time, Tang Wulin could still only use the Luck of Soul Masters, but after the Co-Lord of Spirit Beasts, the Silver Dragon King, fell in love with Tang Wulin, a person truly close to the God Realm's limit was born.
Lan Xuanyu, having completely inherited all the Destiny Power, with his identity as a Soul Master of the Dragon God Bloodline, possessed a limit close to the original Dragon God.
Thus, Huo Yuhao was merely a small link in this massive plan; he and Tang Wutong were pawns from the very beginning.
"A tool for finding the Ten Thousand Year Fortune? No wonder the Divine Abyss wanted to help me awaken Destiny Control; is this the reason Tang San hasn't turned hostile yet?"
"Tang San is not only afraid that I'll use the Luck to severely injure him, but even more afraid that I'll recklessly destroy the Ten Thousand Year Fortune entirely."
"But how does he plan to pass the God Position to me now? Having already attained a Law, it should be impossible for me to inherit a God Position."
"The Auspicious Beast—the Auspicious Beast's sacrifice. He's preparing to make me an unconventional Dual-God Position holder like him, using that to strip away my Luck."
After silently pondering this, Huo Yuhao felt a sudden sense of relief; luckily, he had asked Elder Yi to trace the origin of the Luck today.
If it weren't for the accidental desire to create a Cultivation Technique today, perhaps—
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao suddenly snapped awake.
"No, it wasn't an accident that I wanted to improve the Mysterious Heaven Skill; it was because after using the Halo last time, it didn't increase my Soul Power but gave me knowledge and techniques instead."
In other words, the Divine Abyss is guiding me, using various methods to lead me to the real truth.
Looking at the Divine Abyss within his Spirit Sea, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt as if he were trapped in the center of a chessboard.
He knew that surpassing the God King level required contending with the Laws of the Universe; so was the Divine Abyss a cheat brought by his Transmigration, or a means used by the Universe's rules to restrict Tang San?"
