Chapter 296 Super Artifact
Chapter 301 Super Artifact
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 emanating from her is gentle and inclusive, like a warm breeze on a spring day, making people unconsciously lower their guard.
Huo Yuhao couldn't be 100% sure whether what the other party said was true or false, but then he thought that as the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction, even if only a wisp of her soul remained, she was still someone who once stood at the very top.
Such a person would surely not stoop to lying to a junior like him.
Thinking of this, the troubled look between Huo Yuhao's brows gradually faded.
He raised his head, and his eyes, now clear and resolute again, met the gentle gaze of the goddess of life.
He then slowly began to speak: "My name is Huo Yuhao. In a sense, I am the Huo Yuhao you are talking about, but in another sense, I am not that Huo Yuhao either."
Upon hearing this, both the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life on the opposite side were momentarily stunned.
Huo Yuhao's contradictory statement left the two of them momentarily speechless.
Yes or no, what does "yes or no" mean?
Huo Yuhao noticed the two God-Kings' confusion and then explained, "I am Huo Yuhao from ten thousand years ago, before the God of Emotions in your memories became a god."
"Ten thousand years ago?"
The God of Destruction's brows furrowed even more beneath his hood. He subconsciously repeated the three words, his tone filled with confusion and bewilderment. Huo Yuhao let out a long breath and said, "I am indeed Huo Yuhao himself, but I am not the God of Emotions who became a god ten thousand years later."
"I come from ten thousand years ago. On that timeline, I had not yet inherited the godhood and was just a Soul Master who had just graduated from Shrek Academy."
"It was all because of a chance encounter that I gained the ability to travel through time, to travel between ten thousand years ago and ten thousand years in the future."
"That's why I'm standing here now, in front of these two seniors."
After these words were spoken, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life on the opposite side both changed their expressions.
The two former god-kings had lived for countless millennia, and had seen all sorts of amazing geniuses and heard of all sorts of strange and wonderful opportunities. But the ability to travel through ten thousand years was something even they had never heard of.
The God of Destruction couldn't help but take a sudden step forward, his crimson eyes beneath his cloak flashing with two terrifying beams of light. His voice, raised in shock, echoed through the void: "How is this possible? Traversing ten thousand years of time—this is an ability even a God-King doesn't possess!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing through his mind.
Leng Yaozhu had remarked more than once that only true gods could possess the ability to travel through time.
But now it seems that even the God-King, who stands at the very top of the God Realm, cannot do this.
This realization filled Huo Yuhao with an indescribable excitement. It seemed that the significance of his opportunity far exceeded his previous boldest estimates.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and calmly met the two pairs of eyes of the two god-kings opposite him, eyes filled with shock.
He said calmly, "I don't know the specifics, but every word I just said is true. I do come from ten thousand years ago."
The God of Destruction's crimson eyes trembled violently in the shadows of his cloak, clearly still reeling from this earth-shattering news.
Space can be torn apart, and time can be distorted, but those are realms that only a god-king level can barely touch, and at an extremely high cost.
There are many restrictions.
The fact that Huo Yuhao could travel safely across ten thousand years without any divine power and solely on his own was beyond his comprehension.
The God of Destruction remained silent for a long time, but the Goddess of Life beside him was the first to accept the fact.
She looked at Huo Yuhao and said gently, "I believe what you said. With such an opportunity, you will definitely be able to go further and stand higher than you were before."
At this point, the goddess of life suddenly paused.
Her emerald green eyes flickered slightly, as if trying to capture a fleeting glimpse of inspiration.
A moment later, her gentle eyes suddenly lit up.
She turned her head sharply to look at the God of Destruction who was still standing there beside her. Her tone was less gentle than usual and more filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Little Purple, this is an opportunity."
The God of Destruction was taken aback by her sudden excitement. He blinked his crimson eyes beneath his hood and asked, somewhat bewildered, "What opportunity?"
The goddess of life took a deep breath and uttered a few words, one by one: "An opportunity to change your destiny."
Before the God of Destruction could react, she turned her gaze back to Huo Yuhao.
Those gentle, watery eyes of hers had suddenly turned fiery as she asked, "Little Yuhao, you just said you can travel through ten thousand years of time and space. Can you go back ten thousand years? Back to the era you originally belonged to?"
Looking into the hopeful eyes of the Goddess of Life, Huo Yuhao did not hide anything and nodded honestly.
"Yes, every so often, I can travel through ten thousand years of time."
"However, this power is not under my control, and the timing of my travels is unpredictable, so I cannot know in advance when it will arrive."
"So I can only wait passively until that power appears before I can complete the crossing."
After Huo Yuhao recounted the details of his time travel, the Goddess of Life's emerald green eyes suddenly lit up like ignited stars.
She turned around abruptly, her slender fingers trembling slightly with excitement, and grabbed the arm of the God of Destruction, which was shrouded in a purple-black cloak.
"Little Purple, our fate is sealed, but the us of ten thousand years ago hadn't reached this point!"
"If Xiao Yuhao could bring our message back ten thousand years, back to the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life in that time and space."
"Then we can completely change our inevitable fate of death, and completely steer the history of that timeline down a completely different path!"
At this point, the God of Destruction's crimson eyes, hidden in the shadows of his cloak, flashed intensely.
Yes, this is indeed an opportunity.
The God of Destruction remained silent for a moment, suppressing the surging emotions within him, before solemnly fixing his gaze on Huo Yuhao.
His voice was still deep and authoritative, but it had lost some of the aloofness that had kept people at arm's length before, and had become more sincere and frank.
"Boy, since you have such an extraordinary opportunity, I won't hide it from you."
"Back then, the divine realm encountered an unprecedented spacetime turbulence. In order to protect the divine realm from being completely destroyed, the Goddess of Life and I almost exhausted our own primordial divine power to stabilize the barrier of the divine realm."
"That is why we have fallen, and now our remaining strength is almost gone."
To put it bluntly, we cannot pass on your divine position.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's heart sank slightly, realizing that his chance to become a god was indeed not here.
The God of Destruction didn't say much, then raised his arm and waved his wide, purplish-black cloak in the void.
As he moved, a scepter appeared out of thin air in front of Huo Yuhao.
The scepter was very long, even longer than his height when it stood upright.
The staff has a solidified purplish-black color throughout, unlike the texture of ordinary metal. It looks as if a real bolt of lightning from the heavens has been solidified and shaped.
The staff is long and slender, with each curve subtly following the mysterious trajectory of some kind of law.
At the very top of the staff is a huge pale purple jewel, about the size of an adult's fist. Inside, it surges with a thick, almost liquid, purplish-black light, radiating a strong aura of destruction.
However, Huo Yuhao's attention was drawn to a shocking gaping hole on the top of the staff.
The edges of the gash were neat, as if it had been cleaved apart by some unimaginable divine weapon.
The notch, while still exuding a terrifying aura, subtly conveyed a sense of incompleteness.
At this moment, the God of Destruction slowly spoke, his tone tinged with undisguised sadness.
"This is my supreme artifact, the Scepter of Destruction. However, the staff is now severely damaged and has fallen from the rank of supreme artifact. It can only exert the power of an ordinary artifact now."
