Chapter 2 Past Events Across Ten Thousand Years
Chapter 2 Past Events Across Ten Thousand Years
"Class, today I'll continue telling you history. Last time we talked about the era of the Lingbing Ancestor ten thousand years ago..."
In a spacious and bright classroom, there were about forty teenagers around six years old. The teacher on the podium said that she was only thirty years old this year and her appearance was not particularly outstanding. This was her first time being a homeroom teacher and taking care of children.
"Do you know what the biggest difference is between modern Soul Masters and those from ten thousand years ago?"
But she wouldn't just tell stories; if that were all she was capable of, she might as well pack up and go home. She would subtly guide the children through the stories.
"We have souls!"
A child raised his hand and said excitedly.
"That's right, you are indeed Soul Masters. You have all awakened your Martial Souls. The fact that you can gather in this class speaks volumes about your talent. It won't be long before I see you all officially become Soul Masters." The teacher nodded and then gave appropriate encouragement to the children amidst their expectant gazes.
These children have all awakened their innate soul power. It can be said that as long as they work hard, they can become formal soul masters before the age of nine.
"As for the Soul Spirit, it was created by the Spirit Ice Douluo ten thousand years ago, which completely changed the relationship between us humans and Soul Beasts. Through the efforts of generations, Soul Masters and Soul Beasts have become an inseparable and mutually beneficial whole."
"Teacher, teacher, I want to hear you tell the legendary story of Lingbing Douluo's battle against the gods. We've already heard the story of the soul spirits at home."
One child raised their hand. The story of Lingbing Douluo is well-known, and most parents have told it to them. However, they only talked about Lingbing Douluo creating the Spirit Pagoda and the Soul Spirit System, and didn't go into more detail.
Since they hadn't reached the point of breakthrough yet, they weren't so enthusiastic about the Soul Spirit; they just wanted to hear more about the glorious achievements of Spirit Ice Douluo.
The teacher smirked. These kids were really something. She had just brought the topic up here, but she understood the light in their eyes and couldn't bear to refuse them.
"It's only the first day anyway, so don't bombard them with too much information. These kids are at an age where they're full of energy and curiosity, so let them be for now. There won't be much time like this later."
Remembering what the more senior teachers had said, she changed the subject, "Alright. Well, we'll have to tell you slowly then. It's said that when this continent was about to be unified, Tang San, the Sea God and ancestor of the Tang Clan, suddenly sent down a divine thought..."
What is the teacher talking about? The boy sitting in the corner by the window seems to be holding something in his mind, staring blankly out the window. The boy has very beautiful eyes, with occasional flashes of golden light.
"Haha, Yuhao, why are you so shy? Isn't what she said the truth? She just embellished it a bit."
In his mind, a smug voice seemed to be laughing out loud. Was it a hallucination? Or something else?
of course not!
This young man is named Huo Yuhao. The owner of the voice in his mind is living in his divine sea. He is named Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the first soul spirit in history, the first million-year soul beast, and also a mental type.
How could such a young boy possess such a spirit?
That was, of course, a boy, but not a real boy. He was a true ancient man who had transformed into a boy by drawing inspiration from the ability of soul beasts to take human form.
"Brother Tianmeng..."
He silently and helplessly called for an end to His laughter.
"I'm really not used to it. Did I really think I'd be praised and lauded like this one day? This era is truly wonderful. Soul beasts and soul masters..."
"Yes, Xiao Yuhao, you did it. So you don't need to be shy. You saved the Soul Masters and the Soul Beasts; there's no need to feel like you're being overhyped."
"Mainly, they've gone too far with their hype, haven't they? They're making it sound like Tang San could be killed by me when I was a Limit Douluo. And that other thing, Ling Bing defeated the Sea God with a single finger after letting him go through three hundred moves, forcing Shrek Academy to submit to the Sun Moon Empire... What a ridiculous Shrek Academy!"
Huo Yuhao felt strange; this was so awkward that he had to scrape together a three-bedroom apartment.
Is this really just idol worship?
How amazing can you be?
"It is said that the Butterfly Goddess and Lingbing Douluo have known each other for a long time. The Sea God once said that he would let Lingbing Douluo become his son-in-law and grant him a godhood. But Lingbing Douluo said that everyone has their own ambitions. He does not aspire to become a god. He only wishes to guard the human world."
Later, the Butterfly Goddess couldn't let go of Lingbing Douluo, so she stormed Mingdu, intending to kill all of Lingbing Douluo's descendants and forcibly take him back...
Ok?
wrong!
Let's skip the parts where they're praising me for now. How did this bring up Princess Tang? What kind of scandalous history do I have with her? What are you talking about? Huo Yuhao was speechless. The Blue Silver Entanglement is still chasing me?
Hmm, probably not. It's just gossip from a roadside stall...
To comfort himself, Huo Yuhao listened quietly, wanting to see how people would fabricate his and Tang Wutong's story.
"Wow! Lingbing Douluo and Butterfly Goddess actually have such a complicated history? I read in a book that Lingbing Douluo was related to a former empress, wasn't he?"
"But what the Butterfly Goddess is doing seems a bit excessive... slaughtering her lover's entire family and then taking him back..."
"It's like the behavior of an uncivilized spirit beast from ten thousand years ago."
Several children nearby complained that no matter how you looked at it, this behavior was abstract, like that of a wild beast. Was this a deity?
Could it be some unofficial history that the teacher copied from somewhere?
"Hey, do you think what the teacher said is true or false? Say something, don't keep giving me that cold look."
Noticing Huo Yuhao's silence, his deskmate gently nudged him with his shoulder, his eyes innocent, excited, and curious.
This kid came simply to make friends. He's very outgoing and talkative, and seems to believe that cold people should be moved by words. He talks non-stop, without ever stopping.
"How would I know if it's true or not? We're only a few years old. Let's just take it as a joke. But I still think that loving someone shouldn't be too extreme, and it shouldn't involve innocent people. If someone is already married and you still bother them, then it can only mean that this isn't love."
He expressed his opinion, and his classmate agreed, saying that his mother was just like that, loving in an extreme way.
"The truth of that time is difficult to find detailed records. At that time, the Butterfly Goddess almost killed the Heavenly Empress. Lingbing Douluo could not tolerate it any longer, so he scolded the Butterfly Goddess and sent her back to Shrek Academy. It is said that the Butterfly Goddess was not physically injured at the time, but heartbroken, and waited bitterly for Lingbing Douluo at the academy for a hundred years."
Depend on.
Stop making history upside down.
Huo Yuhao didn't want to recall how he was inexplicably targeted by Chong Nu, then inexplicably rumored to have been protecting a beauty in anger, and how, after beating someone up, he had to ask someone to stop writing letters to harass him every year, just like Hu Xiaofei who was afraid Zeng Xiaoxian would receive Nuolan's text messages.
Those hundred years were the most painful hundred years for him.
Thinking about it carefully, it's all ancient history from ten thousand years ago, so why did he recall it again? Moreover, people nowadays are still enjoying creating history, feeling sorry for this "star-crossed lovers," and letting their imaginations run wild.
"I guess there are always people who enjoy gossip and ship couples, no matter the era."
The Dream of Heaven is thus.
