--- Chapter 184 ---
Huo Yuhao woke up with three soft sensations lingering on his body. He smiled helplessly and felt the breathing of his companions, moving them gently to the side.
He stared at the ceiling and discerned the change in his body as the Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art is like doping to his cultivation. It doesn't just increase his spirit energy but also strengthens his bloodline by a few stages.
And no side effects at all.
Who wouldn't be happy with such a powerful Dual Cultivation Technique?
'Especially for a person like me.' Huo Yuhao thought shamelessly, knowing his libido grew tremendously after absorbing True Kroman's Bloodlines.
Ancient Ink Devil and Ancient Godlight Devil are two powerful bloodlines that had settled down because of the Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art.
After checking his new improvement, Huo Yuhao breathed in and asked internally, 'Evo, care to explain why the "Emergency Quest." is located in the real dimension? Not a replication, as you stated beforehand?'
'My perception is "weirdly." blocked at the time, but something doesn't make sense, right?'
[...]
'Answer me, Evo.'
'I'm not a fool.'
[The System deemed the "Ancient Ink Bloodline's Awakening." as the essential foundation for the host's future]
[As the Emergency Quest moved host to the distant past of the Everlith Universe: Titania Bolos, every action you made there changes the future of the dying Universe]
[Without this action, the host wouldn't be able to awaken Ancient Ink Bloodline to its full potential]
Hearing that, Huo Yuhao finds what Evo said is true because Titania's Bloodline wouldn't be as active as now. He required the Fairy Queen's help to learn about Ancient Ink Devil's Ability, despite herself barely teaching him anything.
However, it doesn't erase Huo Yuhao's suspicion of Evo.
Not even a bit.
'Then, do you know something about my previous life? I can't remember specific memories related to someone.' He suddenly questioned.
[The system didn't find anything wrong with your soul and memory] Evo answered immediately, but the monotonous tone seemed more stagnant than usual.
'Check again.'
[But the host's soul is stable?] For the first time, Evo sounded confused.
'I said to check again, Evo...'
[Running Deep Soul Scanning]
[Scanning...]
[...]
[Error]
[???]
[Re-Running Deep Soul Scanning]
[Error]
[Error]
[Error]
[...] Evo.
Evo protocol repeats over a thousand times, and then Evo uses a different method.
[Checking the backdoor and recalibrating the Deep Soul Scanning]
[Scanning...]
[Ding! An unknown seal detected within the host's soul]
[The system's level is too low to open the seal]
[Please upgrade "the system." before proceeding with the seal]
"..." Huo Yuhao was stunned.
He didn't expect this at all.
And What do you mean by an unknown seal?
No one in his previous life is supernatural.
Sure, there are several master martial artists and gunmen beyond the standard, but they could die out of mortal injury. Bullets and nuclear bombs could kill them instantly.
Some people use physical-enhancing drugs, but even they barely reach a superhuman level.
[It has to be someone close to you, host] Evo suddenly commented.
[The current system couldn't break the seal, but the person who did it should be on Tier-1 Entity according to deep scan]
'Tier-1?'
[It's classified information]
[...]
[After further observation, the system decided to uncover some piece of information to the host]]
[The greater macrocosm of the infinite cosmos is vast, and the "normal." grading system didn't work as precise compared to the small, weak world like Highschool DxD]
[The weakest Tier-9 is a being who can conquer multiple planets and possess control over it. They are close to or even more inferior than a Nox Emperor from the Everlith Universe]
[She's at peak Tier-8 to Mid Tier-7, being the ruler of the multiple galaxies and Everlith Universe]
[Tier-7 is roughly at the same level as Godkings from the Douluo Dalu Universe, but it depends on their divinity and innate ability. A few individuals could breach into Tier-6 for a couple of minutes]
[As for the Tier-1...]
[They are the strongest out of the strongest creatures in the Omniversal Order. Just a minuscule of their strength is enough to erase everything you have built up so far to nothingness]
[No, that's an understatement... Their mere presence is enough to reduce you to nothingness, host]
[The system expected you to get a sense of crisis when knowing this news, but it would be better for you to know this earlier] Evo added while observing Huo Yuhao's reaction.
Huo Yuhao breathed in and digested the new information calmly. He closed his eyes and witnessed a dream about countless strong being ragging over the Dragon Nest like it was nothing.
He clenched his fist and mumbled, "Thanks, Evo."
[You don't have to worry about those being's presence for a while, as the seal could protect you and everyone close to you from their senses. It worked as an invisible cover for your growth]
[Ding! You have triggered a new quest]
[Name: Become a God]
[Objective: Condense your godhood and create your own Divine Realm(0/2)]
[Reward: 3x Platinum Upgrading Ticket, the Seed of Adversity, 1x World Travelling Ticket]
[Penalty: None]
[Do you want to accept the quest?]
[Yes/No]
"You know very well I wouldn't reject it." Huo Yuhao pressed the Yes button and accepted the quest. Becoming a god is one of his earliest goals in the first place.
It's just that Douluo Dalu's Gods are "innately." restricted from growing even further. And only Godkings could be considered the strongest as the 5th Dimensional Being.
And yup, Huo Yuhao disliked this restriction.
Thanks to Evo and this new quest, he has a clue to bypass Douluo Dalu Universe's restrictions.
'I only have to become a god here, no? I'm technically still using Douluo Dalu's power system, but my strength and presence wouldn't get restricted by the universal law there.'
A smirk appeared on Huo Yuhao's face because he expected a shocked expression from the gods in the Douluo Dalu's Universe.
He knew they had been curious about the Dragon Nest because the barrier he placed around the new continent was sometimes breached unsuccessfully by higher dimensional beings, especially someone with divinity over the sea.
Fortunately, They couldn't descend to the Douluo Planet because of the restriction.
Because of Huo Yuhao's sudden movement, the ladies gradually awakened from their sleep.
Huo Yun'er yawned sensually and went for a morning kiss, leaning on his chest.
Scathach pecked his cheek and used his arm as a pillow.
As for Qianye Ying'er, she was drooling on his thighs.
'Yeah, I have to protect them.' Huo Yuhao's motivation burned even stronger when seeing his companions' sleepy faces.
...
...
Huo Yuhao prepared some vegetables in the kitchen, running down the sink with water as three ladies had a hangover on the dining table. They are still in the Scathach's quarter and recovering their stamina after the wild night.
"This won't do..." Huo Yun'er said solemnly.
"He's too good now. Even the three of us couldn't handle him."
"We need some helper."
Scathach felt a sting in her lower half and nodded grimly, "I agree. His Dual Cultivation Technique is too dangerous to be left alone."
"He devoured us like it was nothing..."
"But who should we bring?" Qianye Ying'er laid her head on the dining table, sniffing the cooking smell from the kitchen. "I'll bring Nico Robin then. She likes Huo Yuhao as much as me."
Scathach silently grumbled because she didn't want to say this woman's name. "Raikou. She'll do a good job." She said doubtfully.
Huo Yun'er giggled and added, "Well, I'll fetch Grayfia in our next session."
'Tch, how could I forget about the maid?!' Scathach couldn't take her statement back. Even though her relationship with Raikou isn't good, their common ground is Huo Yuhao.
Qianye Ying'er playfully tapped her slender finger on the dining table and commented, "There are more candidates like Ophis, Kuroka, Tiamat, Venelana, Yasaka, Amaterasu, Gabriel, Serafall, Koneko(Shirone), Asia, Ingvild, Misla, and the list goes on."
"To be honest, every woman could be his."
"What are you guys talking about?" Huo Yuhao stepped out of the kitchen and placed four bowls of porridge on the table.
"Nothing." 3x
"How suspicious." Huo Yuhao sat down, shaking his head because their intention to get him laid down and satisfied was obvious. It's not like he was deaf and couldn't hear them from the kitchen.
"Anyway... Let's enjoy the morning, shall we?"
They agreed with Huo Yuhao as the morning should be a serene moment for them.
After the hearty breakfast, Huo Yuhao meditated on the lawn behind Scathach's quarter and discovered his spirit energy multiplied by four times. That's enough energy to create a small universe in his body.
He smiled wryly and commented, "I have to finish the Mana Cube's Project."
"The prototype couldn't handle this sudden increase." He pulled up a cracked small blue cube with his left hand. It released a dim light, which leaked energy.
Huo Yuhao stood up and stretched a little, "Let's do some work first."
"I'll also do something about Yae's new vessel."
