Chapter 29 Goal 2
At this moment, Huo Yuhao, who had come to the Sea of Spirit after hearing Tianmeng's question, looked at the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in front of him and sighed, saying, "Brother Tianmeng, I'm fine, I just feel a little tired."
Hearing the boy's answer, Tianmeng looked at him and continued to ask, "So what do you plan to do next? If you want revenge, my current strength can help you kill an enemy with the cultivation of a Soul Emperor. It's not a difficult thing."
"If the opponent's cultivation level is higher, a Soul Douluo can still restrict their movements for a while, but if it's a Title Douluo, there's no hope. Moreover, with my current strength, I can only use it once in a short period of time..."
Perhaps at this moment, Tianmeng should have told the boy in front of him, "You should work hard to cultivate now. With my help, you can eventually become a god and easily eliminate all these enemies."
However, Tianmeng did not utter these words of encouragement to the young man to continue his cultivation and become a god.
Perhaps after seeing the boy's memories of the first eleven years, Tianmeng inexplicably thought of the time she was imprisoned in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Although the two were different in form, they had some similar feelings.
Or perhaps, their fates were already intertwined in the Star Dou Great Forest, the moment he voluntarily chose to become the boy's spirit ring, and they had already become familiar with each other during the past two months.
At this moment, Tianmeng did not choose to say those words that encouraged him to continue to work hard. Instead, she reminded Huo Yuhao that at this point, his abilities could only eliminate enemies of that level, and he only had one chance in a short period of time.
This is a reminder, and also an announcement to the other party that he will use his abilities to help the boy now that he is seeking revenge.
However, after hearing what Tianmeng said, Huo Yuhao in his spiritual sea simply shook his head and said, "No need, Brother Tianmeng, we don't need these right now."
Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Bingcan was clearly taken aback. After all, in the memories he had seen, the boy's desire for revenge was very strong, and now that the other party was saying this, he was a little confused about what was going on.
So Tianmeng continued, "So, young man, you've come to terms with it and intend to just let this matter go?"
"How could that be? I won't just let things go so easily." The boy replied decisively upon hearing Tianmeng's question.
Upon hearing the boy's answer, Tianmeng, who had transformed into a blond-haired boy within the Sea of Spirit, believed she understood the boy's thoughts.
Then, Tianmeng nodded and said with some approval, "That's right. So, once we cultivate to become gods, no, we should cultivate to become Title Douluo, we can come here again."
"At that time, I can upgrade the other spirit rings on your Spirit Eye Martial Soul to the 100,000-year level. Then you will slowly descend from the sky and reveal those nine 100,000-year spirit rings."
"Once you see this scene, those guys down below will probably be scared half to death. Then you'll descend in front of them and be able to list their crimes one by one."
"Then, amidst their terrified pleas for mercy, you reached out and unleashed your soul power, wiping them all out, thus completing your revenge..."
Tianmeng was still talking. He told the boy what he had imagined, and then he got more and more excited as he talked, even gesturing.
However, Huo Yuhao, listening to the other's story, simply smiled slightly and said, "This scene is indeed quite satisfying, but it's still different from what I want to do."
"So what do you want to do?" Upon hearing the boy's words, Tianmeng's reverie was shattered, and he was completely bewildered, not understanding what the boy in front of him wanted to do.
It should be said that from the moment she met him, Tianmeng never truly understood what he wanted to do.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao simply said, "As far back as I can remember, my mother and I have lived there. I still remember everything that happened during that time."
"But to be honest, when I was very young, I couldn't understand my mother's actions. I've seen the people in the Duke's mansion leave, like birds on a branch, able to go elsewhere."
"I also secretly saw the man my mother often mentioned in some corner. He returned to the Duke's mansion, but he didn't seem to care that my mother wasn't there after he came back."
"Looking at my surroundings and doing the work assigned to me every day, I mentioned to my mother that we should leave together, but my mother didn't say anything. She neither nodded in agreement nor shook her head in refusal. She just continued to bend over and do the work in front of her."
"After witnessing this scene, I never mentioned it again, but the misunderstanding in my heart did not disappear, and this misunderstanding remained in my heart even after my mother passed away."
"On the way from the Duke's mansion to the Star Dou Great Forest, I didn't really feel what the outside world was like. It was only during those years in the wasteland that I finally realized how vast and dangerous the outside world was."
"Finally, before I left Shrek City and returned here, what I saw and experienced truly made me understand what my mother did back then."
"When I mentioned leaving the Duke's mansion to my mother, her silence was a sign of helplessness. It is an extremely difficult thing for a woman without soul power to take a child out to live."
"Leaving aside the potential accidents that might occur when we go out, just how to make a living after we go out is a huge problem. We don't have much money, we don't have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, not to mention we don't have the ability to deal with danger."
"Perhaps my mother could have left the Duke's mansion and lived outside in the face of these things, but if she had taken me with her, a child who had not yet grown up."
"So the situation becomes that if we are humiliated and beaten in the Duke's mansion and then do nothing, the Duchess won't have much energy to pay attention to us. And the servants in the Duke's mansion, without a clear instruction, can at most bully us, but they don't dare to really kill us. So under this situation, she can wait until she grows up."
"Going outside would mean avoiding all that happened inside the Duke's mansion and potentially having more opportunities. However, a band of bandits on the road could easily take them both out. Even in other towns, the situation wouldn't be much better."
"My mother had no choice but to stay with me and not gamble. She could only wait for me to grow up carefully in the Duke's mansion. Even though she knew what she would encounter there, she didn't have any better choice."
"After all, miracles or good fortune won't happen to us at that time, nor will they happen to most people."
"Not to mention, given my mother's identity, in other people's eyes, escaping the Duke's mansion would be considered a disgrace to that place. Can she really leave the Duke's mansion as easily as I can without facing retaliation?"
"I said that in their eyes, someone who might have died somewhere long ago is no longer worth caring about, and my mother's life, in their eyes, had already been bought off, leaving her no chance to choose for herself..."
"I didn't understand my mother's actions in the past, but now I'm slowly beginning to understand her helplessness. Reality didn't give her much of a choice."
"The reality, her identity, and the locked-up relationship—none of these things will help her. All she can do is keep me alive."
As the boy spoke, his thoughts inevitably drifted back to the night his mother passed away, recalling the last look in her eyes as she gazed at him.
