Chapter 72: Hesitation
"Yuhao, why the serious expression? Here, this is your birthday gift."
Di Qiuer solemnly took out a bracelet and put it on Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao looked at Di Qiuer in astonishment, not expecting her to prepare a gift for him when she usually just stayed cooped up inside the Golden Ancient Tree all day.
"Yuhao, thank you for the memories you gave me before. During this time, I, this Auspicious Beast, feel that my life is complete and full of Perfection."
"Even if you fail in the end, I will still be very happy. Just remember to send me back to Aunt Bijee when the time comes."
Huo Yuhao saw the genuine gratitude in Di Qiuer's eyes.
"I know. Don't make it sound like we're parting forever. Didn't I tell you? As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you."
After taking a couple of sips of his drink, Huo Yuhao carefully put the bracelet on his wrist and replied dismissively.
Led by Di Qiuer, one birthday gift after another was presented to Huo Yuhao.
Wang Donger's gift was a self-made chibi sculpture of Huo Yuhao; the exquisite detail carving showed the maker's dedication.
"Thank you." Huo Yuhao accepted it and looked at Wang Donger with distance.
As his voice faded, Huo Yuhao clearly saw a sudden reflection in Wang Donger's eyes. She tilted her head slightly and replied, "You're welcome."
When the party ended, Huo Yuhao saw off his relatives and friends one by one. He paid special attention to Wang Donger's quickly departing back before taking another sip of his drink.
Late at night, Huo Yuhao returned to his residence on Sea God Island for the first time in a while and lay down on the bed in his second-floor room.
The moon hung high in the sky, and scattered stars twinkled. Huo Yuhao stared blankly out the window.
Huo Yuhao lowered his head, looked at the bracelet on his wrist, and rubbed his eyes, feeling a little uncertain.
He had always felt omnipotent, possessing the advantage of foresight, the assistance of the divine abyss, and the Heaven-Defying status of a Child of Luck.
For the first time, Huo Yuhao felt a bit of regret. He should have never interacted with Di Qiuer, just thrown her into the Golden Ancient Tree and left her alone.
He wasn't confident about the backlash of the power of Luck. He was confident he could defeat the God of Death, and confident he could become a God within ten years.
But if even the Silver Dragon King couldn't resolve the Luck backlash, how could merely becoming a God solve it?
Huo Yuhao didn't know if Di Qiuer could hold out until he achieved a God King Breakthrough, and he was even more afraid that the Backlash of Fate would obliterate her Soul.
For the first time, Huo Yuhao began to ponder: Why did he come to the Douluo Continent?
After the Fusion with Huo Yuhao's memories, he seemed to have been living for the sake of the childhood memories of Huo Yuhao.
Then why did he come to this World? To help his relatives and friends become Gods? Or to make this World turn into the image he held in his mind?
Who on the Douluo Continent doesn't want to become a God? Who doesn't want the World to get better and better? So, besides all that, what exactly did he want?
Huo Yuhao gazed into the distance, seemingly making eye contact with Tang San far away.
He lived for twenty years in that other World, and only two short years here.
Deep down, Huo Yuhao wanted to live freely and unrestrained. He wanted to completely shatter those chaotic restrictions.
But he was also a person who was easily soft-hearted—he was in his previous life, and he is now.
He felt sympathy for the weak, and he wanted to lend a helping hand to those in need. He didn't want anyone to be hurt, nor did he want anyone to suffer.
Huo Yuhao never imagined that one day he would become a leader, a creator of rules.
But coming to this World, having the assistance of the divine abyss, and becoming a Chosen One with ten thousand years of Luck...
All of this told Huo Yuhao that he bore enormous responsibility.
Who wouldn't want a time of Peace and Prosperity, where they could live a happy life simply by idling away their days?
But now, he had to make the correct choice. Any single wrong choice could lead to eternal damnation.
This kind of life, with zero margin for error, was truly too heavy.
He sincerely hoped Di Qiuer could live well, but he didn't know how he should go about it.
Di Qiuer, who possessed some of Huo Yuhao's memories, seemed to have become his anchor point for pursuing his past life. Her every action was identical to the little girl from his previous life.
Huo Yuhao could only try his best to do everything he could. After glancing at the divine abyss again, he suddenly let out a self-deprecating chuckle.
"I'm being a bit sentimental. If I can't even solve a Luck backlash, then I might as well not keep these Cheats I have."
.
Huo Yuhao reaffirmed his conviction, and the doubts about his abilities and the hesitation regarding his choices vanished completely.
"Isn't it just a promise to save you? At worst, I'll elevate this broken System to the level of the River of Time, and Brother Huo will go against the River of Time to save you."
Unknowingly, Huo Yuhao's birthday had completely passed, and a Halo condensed by the divine abyss interrupted his thoughts.
Huo Yuhao sank his Divine Sense into his Spirit Sea. Upon touching the Halo, he didn't use it immediately, but instead decided to test its omnipotence.
When condensing his Soul Core last time, Huo Yuhao had discovered another way to use the Halo: single-use consumption.
Since the Halo could temporarily strengthen his Meridians and body, it wasn't impossible to use the Halo's energy to unleash an attack far exceeding his own strength.
In a sudden flash of inspiration, Huo Yuhao realized he had been trapped in a cognitive bias before. Could the Luck backlash perhaps be solved directly using the Halo?
Huo Yuhao immediately set the usage direction as 'erasing the Auspicious Beast's Luck backlash' and received a response that the energy was insufficient, but it could temporarily alleviate and weaken it.
Furthermore, when Huo Yuhao adjusted it to 'perfectly resurrect a deceased Third-Rank God,' the Halo transmitted the message that 96% of the energy needed to complete this goal was missing.
Huo Yuhao immediately hammered his thigh, feeling a mix of amusement and frustration. He had wasted half a day being depressed here, building up fearless confidence and conviction.
And now you're telling me the divine abyss is this overpowered? Didn't they say that even Tang God King couldn't save Xiao Wu tens of thousands of years later? divine abyss, what level of Divine Artifact are you?
Huo Yuhao, who was now full of confidence about creating a New God Realm on the Douluo Plane, suddenly felt he might have been a bit too loud when he first underwent Transmigration.
Why change his Transmigration identity to Tang San? Why the hell did he need a System? The divine abyss was overpowered beyond imagination.
After careful consideration, Huo Yuhao used the Halo to exchange for the method of creating Mechas. Instantly, knowledge related to various grades of Mechas began to surface in Huo Yuhao's mind.
However, as he looked through the information, Huo Yuhao's expression began to change strangely.
If he wasn't mistaken, the last two blueprints should be for small Universe Spacecraft, right?
Has the scope of Mechas expanded this much now? Does that kind of thing even count as a Mecha?
So, according to the divine abyss, anything that can fly and is humanoid counts as a Mecha, huh?
It's just that the Mechas of the last two grades require rare metals forged using the Star Forging Method.
