Douluo: This time we will rewrite our destiny

"She's in that room over there."

Huo Yuhao nodded, walked through the dim square filled with fishy and musty smells, and came to the door of Tang Ya's room, which was the farthest from their rest area. Tang Ya's room was different from theirs in every way. For some reason, Zhongli Wu seemed to really cherish her. This door even exuded a faint woody fragrance, isolating all the fishy smells from outside.

He knocked on the door. "Blue Silver Saint. I have something I want to discuss with you."

There was a short response from the door, and then the door was opened from the inside. Huo Yuhao had to lower his head slightly, as Tang Ya's height was just up to his chest.

Tang Ya lowered her eyes, and Huo Yuhao could not see her gaze. She took a step back calmly like a puppet: "Please come in, Holy Son."

After getting permission, Huo Yuhao walked into her room, but was secretly surprised. He had already noticed that this place was unusual through mental detection, but when he actually saw it, he still felt extremely gloomy and depressed.

The entire room was covered with dark blue silver grass, airtight and without a single ray of light. These blue silver grasses breathed as if they were alive. Although they had no eyes, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that every blade of grass was staring at him, an outsider. They were also full of spiritual power, and he was particularly sensitive to it.

In the darkness, Huo Yuhao's emerald eyes glowed with a faint green light. He turned around, only to meet Tang Ya's purple-red eyes that seemed to be soaked in blood.

“I came to discuss this operation with you.” Huo Yuhao maintained his empty tone. “The Holy Church does not need the Holy Son or Holy Daughter to take action this time. However, in my humble opinion, Mingde Hall will not be unaware of this. In order to preserve the Holy Church, perhaps we need to be prepared for battle.”

Tang Ya was silent for a while. Huo Yuhao was not sure if she still had normal thinking ability at this moment. Ma Xiaotao, who had not yet recovered her sanity, was just a pure killing machine.

"With the leader and the supreme leader here, I'm not worried." She said without any fluctuation in her tone.

Huo Yuhao had no choice but to continue the conversation: “I heard that the Saint Girl used the power of the secret soul bone to fuse a soul bone the day before yesterday?”

"Yes." Tang Ya responded fairly quickly this time, but her tone was still slow. "I learned from the leader that the secret soul bone was obtained by you, the Holy Son, from the Star Dou Great Forest. You've worked hard, and I thank you."

"No need to thank me, this is what I have to do for the Holy Church." Seeing Tang Ya bowing to him, Huo Yuhao also nodded in response. "However, using the secret method soul bone means that the original soul bone is difficult to fuse, or it will be painful to fuse. This situation is usually caused by not being suitable, or the soul bone is too strong."

"What does the Holy Son mean?"

“I know a thing or two about spirit bones.” Huo Yuhao spread out one hand. “If it’s not suitable, then even if the secret spirit bones are fused, there will still be some problems, and the leader will need to intervene. But if it’s the latter, then there’s no problem. If the Saint doesn’t mind, let me help you check it out.”

“Sure.” Tang Ya nodded and stepped forward to stand in front of Huo Yuhao. “What do you need me to do?”

"You don't need to do anything else. Just sit cross-legged and meditate to mobilize the soul power of your soul bone."

So Tang Ya sat down on the spot, sitting cross-legged in the middle of the blooming blue silver grass. The blue silver grass had sharp edges, but it took the initiative to avoid her flesh and blood. She closed her eyes, and the inky black soul power flowed around her. Huo Yuhao half-knelt down and gently placed his hand on her shoulder, carefully distinguishing the slightest difference. Soon he found the very weak spiritual power he had placed there.

If external forces were used to intervene, both Tang Ya and Zhong Li Wu would be able to quickly discover the abnormality. Therefore, he attached this mental power to the secret soul bone in advance, and let Zhong Li Wu let it merge into Tang Ya's soul power.

Huo Yuhao waited patiently. He observed the flow of the spiritual power in Tang Ya's body, until the moment it approached the spiritual sea, his eyes finally flashed with silver light.

The next second, he was above a dark river. He knew that his real body was still squatting behind Tang Ya, motionless. Now, he was a shadow of a thought body in the sea of ​​spirit; and the black river under his feet was Tang Ya's spiritual world.

The sky and the earth were dark, and Huo Yuhao could only barely tell from the touch of his thought body that he was swimming upstream. In such pure darkness, even his eyes with excellent night vision could not see the surrounding environment clearly. This was spiritual darkness.

However, Huo Yuhao still believed in his judgment. At least the river was still gurgling. Her spiritual world was definitely not a stagnant pool of water, so there must be some flaws. He searched patiently. After a while, he finally found a vague building in the darkness. He immediately walked towards it, and as he got closer, the building gradually became clearer.

It was a dilapidated gatehouse, but one could still see some of its history. However, even the plaque on the gate was covered with dust, and a spider was crawling among the strokes of the inscription, looking for the best place to build a web.

"Tang Sect." He whispered softly.

The next moment, a young girl appeared in front of him. This girl was more like the Tang Ya in his memory, except that her expression was deeply sad. She looked at Huo Yuhao and waved him away.

"No one is here anymore," she said. "There is no one here anymore. Please go away."

“Wait a moment!” Huo Yuhao hurriedly stopped her. “I have also read history and know that the Tang Sect was a sect that rose to prominence during Tang San’s generation. But I haven’t heard of their existence in recent years. What happened?”

"Nothing happened." The girl looked at him, her eyes empty and dull, "Maybe it's just the right time. Nothing happened, go away."

Huo Yuhao ignored her and walked straight into the gatehouse. The next second, his eyes were instantly dyed with bright red as if the flames were shooting up into the sky. The sound of a girl crying could be heard from behind.

"The sect was destroyed because Tiandou City needed another master." She sobbed, "I asked Shrek and Haotian Sect, who have deep ties with the sect, for help, but no one was willing to help me. I studied at Shrek and met a boy I liked, but my talent was far inferior to his. I was a useless waste."

"But... now... I'm no longer useless."

Her crying suddenly stopped, and blue silver grass grew wildly from Huo Yuhao's back, piercing through all the people in front of him who were moving things from the Tang Sect. The night was dyed red.

Huo Yuhao turned around and saw Tang Ya kneeling on the ground. She was scratching her cheeks so hard that she almost bled.

"Are you satisfied with this?" He looked into her bloodshot eyes. "Will this bring you peace?"

“…No.” Her knuckles turned white from exerting so much force, and her fingers trembled constantly. “As a descendant of the Tang Sect, I should be a good person. At least, no matter how dark my heart is, I have to be a good person on the surface. But I killed someone that day… I can no longer be the leader of the Tang Sect.”

“Do you think killing for revenge is your biggest mistake? Is revenge wrong?” Huo Yuhao softened his tone.

Tang Ya's bloodshot eyes showed confusion. "Revenge should be right, just like when I was a kid I was told that if someone hit me I had to hit them back... Revenge seems to be right. So can I be forgiven?"

“But you used the power of an evil spirit master for revenge, right?” Huo Yuhao guided him gently, “If I remember correctly, your dark blue silver grass needs to absorb other lives to grow. In other words, you absorbed a lot of other lives for revenge, and they have nothing to do with your revenge.”

“But…” She put down one hand, and her overly thin arm barely supported the ground, trying her best not to fall down. “If I don’t do this, I will never be able to complete my revenge. No one will help me! Not even Beibei…!”

I remember now. Huo Yuhao smiled. Being able to say Beibei's name meant that the situation had improved a lot.

"How do you know what Beibei thinks?" he asked. "You said that you feel there is a big gap between you and him. Is it this gap that makes you look at him in a distorted way?"

"I asked him!" She raised her head and shouted, "When...when we were in Shrek, every time I asked him, his answer was to wait a little longer!"

“But the timing is not right,” Huo Yuhao replied calmly. “During the second competition, I remember Beibei had seven rings, and during the first competition, he had five rings? After all, it happened in between. A six-ringed Soul Emperor challenging a sect that occupied Tiandou City does sound a bit far-fetched. However, it’s also his fault that his reply was not clear. He should have given you a time limit.”

"Yeah, he should tell me when he's willing..."

Tang Ya lowered her head.

“Then why didn’t you ask?” Huo Yuhao asked, “Why did you give up communicating after getting the reply that you should wait a little longer?”

"I……"

"It's not okay for lovers not to communicate. If you keep letting people guess each other's feelings, one day the guess will be off. Just like if you get a reply saying "wait a minute", you think he's unwilling - think about it carefully, do these two sentences mean the same thing?"

Tang Ya was silent for a long time. Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that her face was a little clearer in the dark night. He raised his head and found that the darkness in the sky seemed to have a faint dark blue color.

After a long time, Huo Yuhao heard sobbing from the person in front of him who was lowering his head.

"But how can I save it? I'm already like this." She choked up, "After all, the world of soul masters is still a world of bloodline and talent. A three-ring soul master is already an amazing genius in the village of Tiandou City, the hope of the whole village, but in front of someone like the leader, he is not even as good as an ant. If this hope of the whole village is caught by the Holy Spirit Church when he goes out, his fate will be determined."

Huo Yuhao looked at her tears falling to the ground. The tears seeped into the soil in an instant, leaving no trace of having dripped.

He was actually a little surprised. He didn't expect Tang Ya to have thought about this. Or maybe it was the repeated rejections from Shrek and the Haotian Sect that finally made her start thinking about the position of a soul master like herself in this world.

"Maybe we can change something about this issue one day." Huo Yuhao walked forward and patted her back gently. "However, if we want to change something, we must first make the Holy Spirit Church disappear from here and never revive again. The Holy Spirit Church is a lie, even though it seems to be a way out for many people who are defined as evil spirit masters... We will also change this definition."

"Why should I believe you?" Tang Ya shook her head. "Shrek, which is known as the best academy in the world, doesn't care about these things. They didn't do it."

“Because Shrek only accepts monsters.” Huo Yuhao laughed helplessly. “The world’s number one academy would never consider these things. They were the first ones to kick out children without good families and good talents.”

"But I still beg you to believe me for once. I escaped from Shrek with my friends. Now, I think I am on the path I want. The so-called No. 1 Academy in the World is not the only solution to this world. It can't even be considered a general solution, just like there are not only monster children in the world, right?"

"You have been superstitious about Shrek's title for too long, so you hated it so much when your fantasy was shattered. But in fact... it has already told you the answer from the beginning."

"..." Tang Ya turned her head away, "Is that so."

“It’s not too late.” Huo Yuhao looked at her eyes under her bangs. The terrifying purple-red bloodshot was fading. “No matter what you say, your revenge has been taken. You have done what an evil soul master did. All you have to do next is save yourself.”

"It's useless." Tang Ya shook her head again. "It's useless. I've been taking medicine for too long. My vitality depends entirely on the medicine given by the leader. Even if you can take me away from the Holy Spirit Church, I will die once I stop taking the medicine. I can do something for you before I die, but on one condition."

"What conditions?"

Tang Ya's eyes were filled with sorrow: "Say sorry to Bei Bei for me."

Huo Yuhao raised his head and saw a glimmer of light at the edge of this spiritual world. However, if the sun no longer existed, there would be no more dawn.

"I see." He sighed, "By the way, I also want to tell you that Beibei has been looking for you and is willing to cooperate with me to find you."

“Perhaps your fate is not so hopeless,” Huo Yuhao paused and continued, “Just think of it as a way to help him find you, and struggle a little longer.”

"Struggle again..."

"You have the guts to destroy that sect all by yourself, but you don't have the guts to fight again?"

After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, Tang Ya finally clenched her fists, as if she had made up her mind. "I understand," she said, "I want to live... I also want to be with him. For this, even if it's ugly, I will fight to the end."

"Ah."

Huo Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. He stood up and said, "Then let's talk about the specific actions. At present, I will restrict your state to the spiritual world, and temporarily not keep contact with the outside world, because you are too close to Zhongli Wu. If I let you out to take control of the body, you will not be able to pretend well."

"I understand, so what do you need me to do?"

Huo Yuhao spread his hands and said, "I want to ask, has Zhongli Wu told you anything about the magnetic field disturbance?"

As he spoke, he used his mental power to construct a picture of the entire Holy Spirit Church's underground base.

"Indeed." Tang Ya glanced at the map, "If I remember correctly, the location is... here."
