Huo Yuhao was being pulled and torn by the spatial forces, not even having time to properly experience the sensation.
A surge of cold energy rose up, protecting him and isolating him from the pain.
Then his body relaxed, and he felt the solid ground beneath his feet.
This was a gray world. A black sun hung in the sky, yet it emitted a mysterious purple light.
It wasn't even as bright as the glowing gate behind him.
The ground was covered with continuous mountain ranges. As far as the eye could see, it was barren and devoid of life, the earth as black as if splashed with ink.
Zhuge Lan looked around curiously, then opened the system and activated the [Creation Authority].

Condition: Using Electrolux as the blueprint, employ the Layered Secret Art from Swallowed Star to create a Secret Art Doppelganger for Huo Yuhao!
Cost: 2,000,000 Fortune Points!
Create?
---
That's right!
Only 2,000,000, and the Secret Art Doppelganger could be taken home.
As for why Electrolux was used as the blueprint, it was, of course, to better inherit his legacy.
Before confirming the creation, Zhuge Lan had a sudden idea.
What if he tried using the Creation God from next door as the blueprint?
---
Condition: Using Long Haochen as the blueprint, employ the Layered Secret Art from Swallowed Star to create a Secret Art Doppelganger for Huo Yuhao!
Cost: 15,000,000 Fortune Points!
Create?
---
Holy crap?!
So expensive?
"Forget it, forget it. The one based on Electrolux is already enough to dominate the Douluo Continent."
Switching back to the first version, create!
Huo Yuhao, who had been looking around, noticed a large number of light points escaping from within his body.
They condensed beside him into a life-sized human outline. As the light faded, it transformed into a naked male.
Whether it was the facial features, body shape, or the size down below...
It was exactly the same.
But what felt even more miraculous to Huo Yuhao was that his consciousness had split into two halves. One half was now in the Secret Art Doppelganger opposite him, and they were looking at each other.
That experience of "looking at himself" was strange yet magical.
Thanks to the power of his mental strength,
He quickly adapted to this split-focus perspective, but then he discovered a new problem.
"Brother Lan, this new body has no soul power? And no martial soul?"
"Don't worry." Zhuge Lan said leisurely. "This body was created using Elder Electrolux as the template. It can perfectly learn the ability system from Elder Electrolux's world."
"So it's to match the legacy of the God of the Undead," Huo Yuhao understood.
"You seem to have misunderstood something." Zhuge Lan reminded him. "Elder Electrolux is the God of the Undead, not just a Necromancer. Before embracing the undead, he was the genuine Son of Light from the Knight's Temple. Did you really think the Radiant King's Longsword was just for looking cool?"
Huh?
Huo Yuhao didn't understand the system of the Throne of Seal world and couldn't grasp the significance of these words.
But as long as Electrolux understood, that was enough.
"Truly worthy of a Secret Art Doppelganger condensed from 5,000,000 Fortune Points."
"It can perfectly replicate all of my innate talents."
"This is good as well."
"Entering darkness through the path of light, we need not worry about Little Yuhao losing himself."
"Leave this side to your master. Your main body should return now."
---
Huo Yuhao acknowledged and stepped through the glowing gate.
He returned to the shore of the Sea God's Lake.
He found Mu En, Xuan Zi, and Yan Shaozhe waiting there. Seeing him emerge, they all visibly relaxed.
"It's good that you're back, Junior Brother." Yan Shaozhe said with concern. "If not for Teacher saying it was fine, your senior brother would have almost thought it was some evil..."
Ahem! Mu En interrupted. "Weren't you tasked with discussing that matter with Yuhao? Get it done promptly."
Yan Shaozhe realized he had spoken carelessly.
This was the work of that Demigod; how could he dare label it as something an evil soul master would do?
"Ah, right, Junior Brother. Gong Changlong and the others asked me to check on the status of the Tai Chi skill books."
"I've brought all the items they traded for. Just say which ones the Demigod wants, and it's done."
That matter.
Huo Yuhao took out eight books and handed them to Yan Shaozhe.
"Brother Lan was very satisfied with this operation, so he agreed to all of them."
"Seven are for the trades, and there's one extra as a gift for Teacher."
"Oh, and that 72,000-year torso bone that Teacher promised to Sister Xiaotao, Senior Brother, please take it back and help Sister Xiaotao fuse with it."
Yan Shaozhe happily pulled out six storage rings and stuffed them into Huo Yuhao's hands.
"Excellent! Excellent!"
"This way, all the Title Douluos of our Sea God Pavilion will have a copy of Taichi. Soon, we will surely advance as a whole!"
"Senior brother thanks you on behalf of the old folks!"
"I'll leave you to chat. I'm off to report this good news!"
"Hahaha—"
Yan Shaozhe left laughing heartily, unable to contain his joy.
Mu En held the Taichi skill book, thought for a few seconds, and then handed it to Xuan Zi.
---
"Take it." Mu En sighed. "Today, I finally learned that reaching Level 100 and attaining godhood requires being chosen. This Taichi cannot help me break through."
"Alright, I will study it earnestly!" Xuan Zi solemnly accepted it.
He then flashed away as well.
Leaving the master and disciple pair some private space.
"Yuhao, what was that just now?"
"I've acknowledged a new master." Huo Yuhao said truthfully. "He is the God of the Undead, also the master of the Undead Half-Plane... Teacher, I swear, I will absolutely never become an evil soul master!"
Mu En pondered.
The God of the Undead...
He must be the deity behind the scenes who had chosen Huo Yuhao.
Based on their interactions during this period, that Demigod didn't possess the brutality and evil of an evil soul master. Even the Spirit Soul Equal Contract involved the power of light.
He didn't seem like an evil soul master.
Of course.
Even if he objected now, it would be meaningless. He himself was about to become the High Priest of the Ice God, also part of that being's plan.
Having sorted out his thoughts,
Mu En comforted him—
"Evil soul masters have never been defined by their abilities, but by their actions."
"There are many like Xiaotao whose martial souls inherently carry evil, but as long as their hearts lean towards the light, we will accept them."
"Being chosen by that one is your opportunity. Focus on your cultivation and don't dwell on other things."
[Altered Mu En's fate, +12,500 Fortune Points!]
Huo Yuhao revealed a bright smile.
It was truly wonderful to be understood by those he valued!
"Alright." Mu En flew into the air. "Your friends are also very concerned about you. Once you've sorted out your feelings, go back and see them."
"And regarding Tang Ya's matter, Xuan Zi has already communicated about it. Just say the word when you need to depart."
---
Mu En left, heading in the direction away from the academy.
Huo Yuhao looked towards the Sea God Lake again, though in reality, his attention was on his Secret Art Doppelganger on the other side, which was beginning to learn knightly cultivation under Electrolux's guidance.
This was a completely new ability system, cultivating pure light energy, with combat skills that could increase in number and power alongside one's strength, far surpassing soul skills in variety.
And this was just for "laying the foundation." The real main event was still the legacy of the God of the Undead.
This placed immense pressure on Huo Yuhao.
Why did he have a feeling...
That if he didn't work hard, he would be surpassed by his own Secret Art Doppelganger?
No way!
There was no time to linger here sentimentally. He had to get moving!
—Huo Yuhao was being pressured, or rather, "rolled," by his own Secret Art Doppelganger.
He flew to the banyan tree in front of the dormitory.
The members of the Holy Flame Sect were all there, cultivating in an orderly manner.
There was also an unfamiliar woman, who seemed very powerful based on her aura.
