Chapter 1172 A Glimpse into the Future

Chapter 1172 A Glimpse into the Future

Huo Yuhao quietly asked Fan Hai, "Brother Fan Hai, who is this person?"

"Shh, keep your voice down! This is a powerful figure from the previous generation of our mermaids! Senior Swallowing Mountain!"

"Huh? Swallowing mountains?"

With such a domineering name, Huo Yuhao simply couldn't associate it with the seemingly decadent and lazy chubby mermaid in front of him.

He has none of the characteristics or temperament of a strong person.

The mermaid known as the Mountain Devourer muttered a few words to the High Priest, then took out a hexagonal hollow stone from his clothes, looked around on the chair he was lying on, raised a protrusion, and stuffed the hollow stone into it.

Immediately afterwards, the entire stone platform shook.

Layers of light shone on the stone steps, as if forming a staircase of light.

The mermaid high priest stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the changes on the stone platform.

After the light reached the top of the stone platform, it began to condense into a huge ring.

The moment the ring was formed, layers of illusory images were projected upwards.

"Alright, young man, pick up your Nautilus and follow behind me." The mermaid high priest waved his hand gently, dissolving the bubble enveloping Huo Yuhao.

Tunshan muttered something, then flicked his fishtail gently.

The entire stone platform, along with the seawater in the entrance area, was instantly pushed aside, transforming into curtains of water.

Huo Yuhao stared in astonishment at the scene before him, which resembled the creation of the world.

He was currently in the deep sea, at an unknown depth, but this mermaid named Tunshan had completely separated the seawater in one area, and he could even vaguely see a faint light flashing above.

"They've opened a breach right onto the sea surface?! What incredible control!"

Within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm screamed in despair.

It's no wonder that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao lost their composure; the sight before them—the separated seawater—was higher than a mountain.

Now, Huo Yuhao knows how this powerful mermaid, known as the Mountain Devourer, got his title.

Such powerful control over water elements?

Just as Ye Nanxiao wrote in his book, the mysterious characters who seem the least remarkable are often the most powerful.

This Tunshan is like a hidden monk.

Fan Hai's eyes sparkled as she looked at the unkempt Senior Tun Shan with admiration, while also nudging the dazed Huo Yuhao.

The bubble that had enveloped Huo Yuhao had disappeared, and he slumped onto the slightly damp bricks, mouth agape, lost in thought.

Reminded by Fan Hai, Huo Yuhao finally came to his senses.

The mermaid high priest remained calm and waited quietly for Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao glanced in surprise at Tunshan, who was already lying on the ground preparing to sleep, then bowed respectfully before following the Mermaid High Priest.

After Huo Yuhao stepped onto the stairs, Tunshan slowly rolled over, his eyes, hidden beneath his messy hair, looking at Fanhai, and asked, "Where did this kid come from?"

"A sea temple that we marked as abandoned suddenly shook. I went to investigate and found this human, who is qualified to be a Nautilus," Fan Hai replied.

"Nautilus... Is things about to get turbulent again? Haven't we had enough of these good days yet...?"

Tunshan mumbled something, his voice growing softer and softer, as if he had truly fallen asleep.

On the steps, Huo Yuhao followed closely behind the Mermaid High Priest.

Beneath the mermaid high priest's wide robes, two legs had materialized, and he stood barefoot on the brick steps made of some unknown material.

"The Nautilus can grant you a brief glimpse into the future, but it's only a glimpse; you must never become addicted to it!"

"The future is shrouded in mist, and the unknown is hidden within the mist."

"Young man, you may glimpse a corner of the future, but remember, remember, never be too greedy for peeking into it!"

The merman high priest kept reminding Huo Yuhao that he also found the human boy rather appealing.

Listening to the mermaid high priest's slightly serious words, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask, "What will be the consequences if one becomes addicted?"

The merman high priest turned around, raised an eyebrow, and glanced at Huo Yuhao. "Young man, the more you become engrossed in it, the more drastic the changes will be in the future."

"You think you're seeing your future, but in reality, the future you see will no longer belong to you!"

The future no longer belongs to me.

Huo Yuhao pondered those words repeatedly.

He seemed to understand, yet he also seemed not to understand.

"Brother Tianmeng, did you understand?"

Within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, holding its tiny arms, pondered.

"Perhaps it's saying that if you see too much of the future, you'll subconsciously try to avoid everything, which will cause a larger-scale change in future time—what Ye Fox called 'butterfly wings'?"

Butterfly wings?

A thoughtful look flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, but more than that, he was bewildered.

His goal was to see his future and whether he would become Ye Nanxiao's enemy.

He didn't want to make that mistake again; he couldn't afford to make the same mistake a third time, even if he missed it once or twice.

While Huo Yuhao was deep in thought, he didn't notice that the mermaid high priest had stopped walking.

"Young man, are you alright?" The mermaid high priest waved his hand in front of Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Huo Yuhao then realized what was happening and quickly stopped in his tracks.

"Young man, your current state is not good. I advise you not to risk trying to glimpse the future," the mermaid high priest said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao glanced at the rising ring and, realizing his chances might be running out, gritted his teeth and said, "Please grant my request, senior!"

The high priest of the mermaids nodded slightly. Out of appreciation, he had already reminded Huo Yuhao twice, including the one just now.

Since Huo Yuhao insisted, he would fulfill his promise as the trader of the Nautilus.

"Give me the Nautilus, young man." The mermaid high priest raised his hand, and several beams of light from his halo fell into his hand.

Huo Yuhao took out the box containing the Nautilus and let the mermaid high priest lead the Nautilus.

Nautilus was pulled up into the halo by the mermaid high priest.

Suddenly, a ringing sound rang in Huo Yuhao's ears.

The Nautilus is like a black hole, drawing in the light of its halo.

The nautilus shell, which originally had a stone-like appearance, quickly began to transform into a sapphire.

"Moo~~"

As the conch shell horn sounded, the halo on the high platform began to pulsate and change, as if it were spreading and radiating along unseen spatial rifts.

It's like sketching a strange painting in a void.

Huo Yuhao stared wide-eyed, clenching his teeth, trying to remember this strange process.

However, even with his mental strength, he couldn't fully see the outline of the painting; he would forget one part as soon as he saw another.

The latest novel is first published here!

Unable to remember.

The merman high priest was also somewhat moved.

He has performed the Nautilus ritual many times, but each time it is a new experience.

As the painting was sketched, it gradually took shape.

The mermaid high priest roared, "Young man! Prepare yourself! Shout out the answer you desire in your heart! But remember, do not look at too many things!"

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized what was happening, and then he saw a simply outlined eye staring at him.

Although the strokes depicting the postures are simple, Huo Yuhao could sense a powerful, ancient, and vicissitude-like aura.

Without thinking twice, he immediately closed his eyes and silently recited the future he hoped to see.

Will I become Ye Nanxiao's enemy in the future?

"I will be with..."

"I am in the future."

One silent mantra after another echoed in Huo Yuhao's heart.

The eyes on the scroll seemed to notice Huo Yuhao's obsession and began to cast a beam of blue light.

The moment the blue light fell on Huo Yuhao, he could feel something drilling into his head.

He did not block the spiritual force; instead, he loosened his defenses and allowed the spiritual force to pull him along.

Pulled by the Nautilus, Huo Yuhao felt as if he were about to take flight, his spiritual body leaving his body and flying towards the giant eye.

As Huo Yuhao got closer and closer to that eye, fragmented images began to appear in his mind.

Those fragmented images were like a soul guide screen with a faulty signal.

It was so fragmented that Huo Yuhao wanted to see it more clearly.

This made him unconsciously move closer to that eye again.

The mermaid high priest saw Huo Yuhao's spiritual body slowly approaching the painting.

His face was serious, his eyes showing solemnity and a hint of disappointment.

"In the end, was it that you couldn't resist the temptation to glimpse the future?"

He had no idea what the consequences would be of directly peeking into the future.

But he knew this was definitely not a good thing!

As Huo Yuhao drew closer to that eye, his spiritual sea began to be filled with the power of the Nautilus.

Suddenly, figures emerged from his sea of ​​consciousness.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the Ice Emperor, and the Black and White Bear King transformed into a normal adult size and floated around Huo Yuhao's body.

The merman high priest's eyes widened in astonishment upon seeing this.

Even with his extensive experience, he had never seen such a sight before.

"Is something living in this boy's head?"

The four spirits stared wide-eyed at the mermaid high priest; clearly, this was an unexpected development for them.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm even waved its little short arms as a greeting.

However, they discovered that they could not move.

"What's going on?" The mermaid high priest couldn't help but turn his gaze back to Huo Yuhao's spiritual body.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's spiritual body was only three body lengths away from touching that eye.

The previously scattered images began to piece together into a complete picture in Huo Yuhao's mind.

Will I become an enemy of Mud Sauce in the future?

The answer begins to appear on screen.

The sea roared, the wind whipped up the clouds, and jagged rocks rose up.

A colossal creature stood between heaven and earth, possessing nine tails.

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened instantly.

Nine-tailed fox!

It's Ye Nanxiao!

What about yourself?

Where am I?

When Huo Yuhao looked over again, he saw a small, glowing figure standing in front of Ye Nanxiao—that was himself.
