Soul Land 2: Huo Yuhao, Join Sun and Moon

Currently, the greatest opportunity within Shrek Academy lay in the Golden Tree.

At first glance, it appeared fine, but when Ah Yin had been parasitizing it, the Golden Tree had been in an extremely precarious state.

In the original story, Mu En had allowed Huo Yuhao and some students to cultivate inside the Golden Tree, even having a heart to heart with Huo Yuhao. The result? The once lost Huo Yuhao immediately declared his mission to revive the Tang Sect, calling it his destined path.

That was absurd.

Simply training inside the Golden Tree had seemingly engraved that ideology into his mind. It was hard not to suspect that a certain trident wielding God King had used Ah Yin as a tool to brainwash Huo Yuhao into restoring the Tang Sect to its former glory.

With that thought, Huo Yuhao reached out to the Plane Consciousness.

Golden light flickered in his mental sea, followed by the voice of the Plane Consciousness:

"Huo Yuhao, you've reached out so suddenly what do you need me to do?"

"I want to cultivate inside the Golden Tree, so I need your help," Huo Yuhao replied directly.

The Sun Moon Empire was far from Shrek Academy, and traveling there alone would be impossible. Besides, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be allowed to cultivate inside the Golden Tree.

There were also potential risks if he ran into trouble, the Plane Consciousness could ensure his safety.

"Understood," the Plane Consciousness agreed immediately.

Huo Yuhao had its blessing and had also freed it from Tang Hao's grasp. If there was anything Huo Yuhao needed, it would do its best to assist him.

"I'll use spatial power to send you there. Don't worry it'll be quick. This is the Douluo Plane. Even the mighty Di Tian can't compare to me in terms of controlling space.

"But I must warn you under no circumstances should you uproot the Golden Tree and take it away. That would alert Tang San.

"If that happens, Tang San might use it as an excuse to descend upon this world. After all, the Golden Tree is too important to the Douluo Plane, and Tang San values it immensely."

As soon as the words fell, a pitch black spatial rift opened beside Huo Yuhao.

Before he could react, he was swallowed into the darkness and instantly disappeared from his room, as if he had never been there.

The Golden Tree had suffered severe depletion after being parasitized by Ah Yin for years.

Despite its seemingly intact appearance, it was hollow on the inside.

Ah Yin had shown zero concern for the Golden Tree, treating it as nothing more than fuel for her own growth.

Even the Tree's own consciousness which had naturally developed over time was now flickering like a dying candle, barely clinging to existence.

Huo Yuhao arrived within the Golden Tree.

His expression turned complicated.

On the way here, the Plane Consciousness had warned him the Golden Tree had a mind of its own.

That made sense.

Given its immense importance to the Douluo Plane, it was only natural for it to develop its own consciousness.

A hoarse yet joyful voice resonated in Huo Yuhao's mind:

"Lord Yuhao, you have finally arrived!"

This voice, transmitted telepathically, ensured that no other soul master outside could hear it.

Huo Yuhao froze.

What? "Lord Yuhao"?

He had been called "Tower Master" and "Peerless Genius" before, but never something like this.

And this wasn't just any random soul master this was the Golden Tree itself!

"Golden Tree, why are you addressing me this way?" Huo Yuhao asked.

He had already formed a suspicion, but he wanted to hear the exact reason before drawing conclusions.

The Golden Tree immediately answered:

**"Because you saved the Plane Consciousness and me! If not for your intervention if you hadn't orchestrated the arrival of the God of Destruction, leading to Tang Hao and Ah Yin being taken away both the Plane Consciousness and I would have perished under their corruption.

"If that had happened, Tang Hao and Ah Yin would have completely taken over our roles.

"To show my utmost gratitude, I have chosen to call you Lord Yuhao.

"But if you dislike this title, I can change it."**

It all made sense.

The Douluo Plane had come first, followed by its Plane Consciousness, and only then had life begun to emerge.

The Golden Tree, as the life core of the plane, had every reason to respect the Plane Consciousness which meant it had every reason to respect its savior, Huo Yuhao.

"I see," Huo Yuhao mused.

This explanation was almost exactly what he had expected.

But he didn't point that out.

He simply nodded.

"Alright, Golden Tree. I'll be staying here for a while to cultivate and experiment with soul spirit creation.

"So during this period, I'll entrust my safety to you and the Plane Consciousness."

Of course, he wasn't entirely relying on them.

In his mental sea, he still had Electrolux.

With three major protectors watching over him, there was nothing on Douluo that could threaten him.

As for a certain Silver Dragon King who refused to leave her lake?

She was of no concern.

Right now, Gu Yuena was hiding from the God Realm, still recovering from her injuries.

She wouldn't dare make a move.

No god in the God Realm even knew she was here.

Back in Peerless Tang Sect, she had even bluffed that if Huo Yuhao tried to kill Di Tian, she would kill Huo Yuhao.

But back then, Huo Yuhao was already destined to inherit the God of Emotions' throne, soon to become Tang San's personal attack dog.

Had Gu Yuena truly killed Huo Yuhao, she would have been instantly marked by the God Realm's strongest forces.

That would have resulted in a God King vs. Dragon King battle and in her current state…

Yeah, that wouldn't end well for her.

"Understood, Lord Yuhao."

"Alright, Yuhao."

Hearing their assurances, Huo Yuhao finally took out a soul tool resembling a Dimensional Pouch.

Such storage soul tools could, in fact, store living creatures.

Even in Douluo Dalu 1, Tang San had used a Dimensional Pouch to store a snake.

Moments later, Huo Yuhao retrieved his Eight Petal Ice Crystal Lotus from the storage device.

Currently, it was in a weakened state.

Plant type soul beasts naturally struggled with mobility, and while storing it prevented it from dying, it had lost much of its previous vitality.

Huo Yuhao had never stored it inside the Necromantic Half Plane, simply because that realm's environment wasn't suitable for plant type soul beasts.

However, he realized that if he altered the realm's properties turning the "Necromantic Half Plane" into a "Holy Necromantic Half Plane" he might be able to create an environment where spirit plants could thrive.
