However, Ye Guyi still couldn't understand how her Angel Martial Soul had been exposed. For the sake of her safety, she had always been extremely cautious in everything she did. Logically speaking, there should have been no way for the Evil Soul Masters to discover her identity! "Of course." Huo Yuhao nodded before explaining his idea. "The strength of an undead is largely determined by its power before death. In most cases, only those who were exceptionally strong in life can retain their intelligence after becoming undead like the Golden Tortoise." At that moment, the Golden Tortoise glanced at Huo Yuhao, thinking, Am I the only intelligent undead here? "But powerful undead are a minority. Most undead are mindless creatures. If we want to give them intelligence, there are some special methods we can use. For example, they can condense all their spiritual power into a soul core. This core would serve as their intelligence center, allowing them to absorb death energy from the demi plane or even devour other undead to grow stronger. This way, they can increase their strength and wisdom on their own. Additionally, to make managing them easier, we could use a hierarchical structure commanding a few powerful undead, who in turn oversee weaker undead in a chain of command." In many novels from his past life, undead were capable of developing intelligence and growing stronger on their own. Some stories even had skeletons as protagonists. Typically, in those novels, an ordinary skeleton could only gain intelligence by either being a reincarnated person or by leveling up through the world's special rules. Huo Yuhao combined these novel theories and put forward his own idea. Electrolux would handle the technical development after all, Electrolux was a genius in research and innovation. Compared to Tang San, who only modified existing weapons, Electrolux was on another level. Electrolux had created the Eternal Tower, a divine artifact, without even being a god. Tang San? The best he had made was Buddha Fury Tang Lotus, which wasn't even close to an actual divine artifact. "A soul core... as the intelligence center?" Electrolux found the idea intriguing. "This could work. I'll conduct experiments. Huo Yuhao, you're truly a genius." He quickly thought back to his Eternal Heart a core mechanism that he himself had created in the past. Huo Yuhao smiled. "Then I'll congratulate you in advance for your successful research, Teacher. Once the undead gain intelligence, they can develop faith faith in you and faith in me." If he could make the undead capable of worship, they would produce faith energy. Faith energy was critical. Whether he chose to create his own godhood or inherit an existing divine position, faith energy would help him go further on the path to divinity. After all, the first Sea God had used faith energy to condense his godhood. Sea Spirit Beasts weren't particularly intelligent most only had basic sentience. As for Sea God's Island, its small population couldn't have provided enough faith energy to fully support the Sea God's ascension. That meant most of the first Sea God's faith energy came from sea creatures. Heaven Dou Empire Sunset Forest Using his Imitation Soul Skill, Huo Yuhao merged into the environment. After finishing his trip to the Star Dou Forest, he had traveled to the Sunset Forest. His excuse? Meeting a benefactor in secret. Convincing Jing Hongchen to let him leave hadn't been easy. Only after demonstrating some of Electrolux's abilities proving that he could ensure his own safety had the dean finally allowed him to go. In the original timeline, Huo Yuhao had benefactors, such as Dai Luoli's mother. That was why he had always been so kind to Dai Luoli. Since he had inherited this life, he would also take responsibility for that karma. He fully intended to rescue Dai Luoli in the future and help him grow stronger. As for the Duke's Mansion... Some people there had definitely mistreated Huo Yun'er and her son. After all, whenever Dai Hao wasn't at the mansion, the Duchess held absolute authority. The Duchess wouldn't dirty her hands herself but all she had to do was give an order, and the corrupt servants would do the dirty work for her. They had tormented Huo Yun'er and her son just to curry favor with the Duchess. Even though the servants knew that Huo Yun'er had given birth to the Duke's son, they still kept the truth hidden from Dai Hao. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound of wind slicing through the air filled the sky above. Huo Yuhao snapped out of his thoughts and looked up, seeing a group of soul masters flying overhead. He sighed in relief. Good thing he was using Imitation. Otherwise, he might have ended up in a conflict just like in the original timeline, when he had fought the Heaven Dou Empire's soul masters. Avoiding trouble meant he could reach the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well faster. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was one of the greatest treasures on the Douluo Continent. Soon, he arrived at its outskirts. He knew he was close because of the dense poison miasma ahead. For ordinary soul masters, inhaling this poison even briefly would cause serious harm. But for Huo Yuhao? Eliminating the toxic fog was effortless. After all, his Ultimate Ice Martial Soul was the perfect counter to deadly poisons. Inside Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea. The Skydream Iceworm gasped at the sight of the miasma. "Why is there so much poison here?! This makes no sense! Huo Yuhao, earlier, you said your divine premonition led you to a land of opportunities... Are you sure this is the place?!" From Skydream's perspective, this was a poisonous wasteland, not a land of treasure. There was no way this was an opportunity! "Of course." Huo Yuhao confirmed without hesitation. "My divine premonition told me that if I enter this place, I'll obtain great fortune. Naturally, my premonition also warned me about the dangers here." ...It wasn't like he could just tell Skydream, Hey, I'm a transmigrator, so I already know everything. Skydream Iceworm was still skeptical. "A treasure trove? Here? Are you going to find the source of the poison and use it as a weapon?" Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Strictly speaking, I will find the poison's source. However, while the miasma itself isn't a big problem, there are other dangers here that I'll need your help to deal with." "No problem! Leave it to me, Bing Bing, and Snow Empress!" Skydream Iceworm declared confidently. Huo Yuhao smiled. The greatest treasure on the Douluo Continent... was just ahead.
