Huo Yuhao paused, a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and said,
"Why do you think that?"
Tianmeng pulled her hood back up, straightened her clothes, and slid off her golden tortoise shell, saying,
"Because the Ultimate Ice is meaningless to you."
"You don't need a second martial soul at all."
"Your Spirit Eye is powerful enough; the Ultimate Ice would only slow down your cultivation."
"You can clearly control the elements through alchemy."
"The Ultimate Ice isn't a problem for you."
"Perhaps alchemy has made me a little smarter. I've carefully examined the plan to go to the far north, and it seems you won't get anything useful."
Huo Yuhao smiled, glanced at the world's number one city—Shrek—in the distance, then closed the window again, returned to his seat, poured himself a cup of tea, and said,
"Of course it's useful!"
"I never thought that the person who ultimately persuaded me not to go to the far north would be the one who proposed this plan."
"Instead, I have to persuade you to go."
"I'll show you some things, and you'll understand."
With that, Huo Yuhao got up and walked to the archives room.
This room contained information on all the residents of Xilu City, collected by Huo Yuhao's entourage.
Huo Yuhao gently flipped through the file folders, pausing briefly on two documents before taking them out.
Returning to his seat, he gently opened the files; inside were two sets of identity information.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm used its mental power to read the two documents before it.
"Name: Su Nuo"
"Age: 10"
"Identity Information: Member of the Xilu City Orphanage. When Su Nuo was one year old, his family was killed by evil spirit masters while he was out. He became an orphan and grew up in the Xilu City Orphanage."
"Arrogant and cold-hearted personality, loves freedom."
"Unawakened martial spirit."
"Detailed Information: Developed finger deformity at the age of one.
At the age of two, his fingers increased, and the number of fingers continued to increase every year thereafter."
"At the age of three..."
"Name: Bai E"
"Age: 10"
"Identity Information: Born in a small village next to Xilu City, the village was later massacred by evil spirit masters."
"Rescued by the Xilu City Guard and brought back to the city, he grew up in the orphanage."
"Sunny and cheerful personality, enjoys making friends, responsible, dares to rebel, and dislikes Su Nuo."
"Martial Soul not yet awakened."
"Note: Can be developed into a passionate member in the future."
"At the age of three, he met a boy with golden-red hair named Medmos after helping a little girl..."
Tianmeng Bingcan was a little confused and asked Huo Yuhao in confusion:
"Yuhao, what does this mean?"
"Is there anything special about these two children?"
Huo Yuhao slowly put away the two files and carefully put them into the drawer below, smiling and saying:
"Brother Tianmeng, these two children are not real natural people."
"Do you remember my [Imagination] authority?"
"They are humans that I imagined."
"Memory, life, soul, body, spirit, everything about them is imagined by me."
"The hardest thing about imagining a life is never making it appear."
"But making it continue."
"This requires imagining the records of the other party when imagining a life."
"Simply put, imagining a real history and possible future."
"Originally, with my current control over the [Imagination] authority, I simply cannot do this kind of thing."
"But the planetary will helped me."
"She proactively helped me resolve the history of life."
"The little planet spirit directly used her authority to add the past of these imaginary figures to the planetary records."
"So that they are not rootless duckweed, but can continue here!"
"These imaginary figures are my followers."
"Just like the followers of the [Dream] authority, the followers derived from the [Imaginary] authority are also under my control."
"I can grant them power, or I can cancel their existence and make them disappear immediately."
"The only difference between them and real humans is that they must depend on me."
Tianmeng was shocked at this moment. He had never thought that Huo Yuhao could conjure up a life from nothing.

If the power of [Imagination] could achieve this much, what would Huo Yuhao be able to do if he fully controlled it?
Imagine a world? A future? A destiny?
Just thinking about it sent chills down Tianmeng's spine, and a strange excitement rose from the bottom of his heart.
He was incredibly excited to see how powerful Huo Yuhao would be if he fully controlled the power!
Huo Yuhao sat in his office seat, added another fish to the Shadow Cat's plate, and fed it some rare fruits as well.
"Alright, Brother Tianmeng."
"There's still a drawback to our current fantasies, which is that I can't conjure up a Martial Soul yet."
"These fantasies don't have Martial Souls or bloodlines within them."
"If I want to understand the mysteries of Martial Souls, I must personally experience the entire process of Martial Soul birth!"
"The Ice Emperor is an excellent opportunity."
"I don't care what the second Martial Soul is; even if it's a pig, I can make it a god!"
"Therefore, if we want to bestow Martial Souls upon them now, we can only rely on the Martial Soul Furnace of the [Understanding] Authority."
"The Martial Soul Furnace can bestow upon them entirely new Martial Souls."
"And the information generated by the Martial Soul Furnace needs a carrier!"
"I've found that carrier: the Ice Demon Worm of the Far North!"
"Therefore, I must make a journey to the Far North."
Tianmeng fell silent, then removed his hood and said to Huo Yuhao:
"Yuhao, whatever you do, I will support you!"
"Don't worry, the Far North will be my home turf."
"Don't even mention Ice Empress, I'm confident I could persuade Snow Empress to be your second spirit,"
Huo Yuhao said, taking a sip of water. "Of course, I believe you, Brother Tianmeng."
Tianmeng was immediately moved to tears, feeling Huo Yuhao's unconditional trust.
"By the way, Yuhao, I noticed you kept looking towards Shrek Academy."
"Is there something on your mind?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had no liking for Shrek Academy because one of the guys who hurt his mother was located there, according to the location sent by the planet's will.
Huo Yuhao looked at the wisps of steam rising from his teacup and said softly,
"I'm thinking that Shrek Academy might not be unable to bear the surname Huo."
"Heh, it might be impossible in other periods, but in this period, it's highly feasible!"
"Do you know what Shrek Academy's biggest problem is right now?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm scratched his head; he didn't know much about Shrek Academy and didn't know what problems this behemoth had.
Huo Yuhao continued,
"There's a talent gap!"
"Shrek Academy can't find another Limit Douluo."
"The Gluttonous Douluo Xuanzi likes to cause trouble, ruining a bunch of inner court disciples, and he just won't admit his mistakes."
"He'll probably cause more trouble later."
"The Bright Phoenix Douluo Yan Shaozhe is short-sighted, his cultivation is stuck at level 95."
"The Dragon God Douluo who's still alive won't live much longer either."
"After he dies, Shrek Academy will have to be handed over to Xuanzi, and Mu En is probably a thousand times unwilling."
"And Shrek Academy's younger generation can't find a single person who can carry the banner of the times."
"My teacher Mu En, whom I've never met, is probably having a headache over this."
"But talent is the last thing I lack."
"Shrek Academy likes monster geniuses, right? I'll send them over."
"I will personally mold someone who perfectly fits Mu En's vision of the next Sea God Pavilion Master."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed to have thought of something.
"Is it that kid named Bai E?"
Huo Yuhao nodded, looking out the window. "Yes, he's the next generation successor I carefully selected for Mu En."
"My teacher, whom I've never met, would be moved to death if he knew I was doing this for him."
"What can I do? I'm just too kind-hearted."
"I've already made progress on Bai E's martial soul."
"Su Nuo, I plan to send him to the Body Sect."
"There are other forces as well; I'll gradually place some people in there."
"Imagination combined with the planet's will—no one will doubt it!"
"Given time, this Douluo Continent might very well be ruled by the Huo family!"
Some people say that filler doesn't advance the plot. Well, this is the lone wolf route. The current Huo Yuhao can't participate in the competition; a bunch of level 40 or 50 little Karamis would all be knocked down by his mental power. The Spirit Abyss Realm is the mental power level of a Title Douluo.
So, he can't participate in the competition himself, but the imagined characters can.
