--- Chapter 341 ---

Huo Yuhao was 'honestly' enlightened by Toki's story. He understood the Myriad Heaven Realm's structure, thanks to her. 

Even then, it seemed she was still hiding something from him. 

And he needs to test her out of it. 

Huo Yuhao fiddled with his mask and asked, "You said beside you, two other royalty members of Great Toki survived the scheme." 

"One chose to reincarnate." 

"And the latter chose to become an ordinary mortal." 

Toki put on an awkward expression before answering truthfully, "The one who chose to reincarnate was one of the Four Emperors(Yonko), The Red-Haired Shanks." 

"He sealed his memory and bloodline aura, completely hiding from Imu's probing eyes. However, he fought with Imu many times as Shanks later in the future." 

"At this timeline, he's only fifteen." 

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened for a second. He didn't expect a character like the Red-Haired Shank to be royalty from Ostera Race, but it makes sense.

Out of other Emperors, the Red-Haired Shank possessed a quality that put him above the rest. 

Heck! Huo Yuhao believed Shanks had mastered Divine Might in one way or another despite not having his old memory.

"Who is the last royalty?" Huo Yuhao gazed into Toki's green eyes. 

Toki sighed, "It's my stepsister." 

"Your stepsister?" 

"Yes, my stepsister. She actually sacrificed her latent blood and burned her soul to protect me. Alas, we still fell for the gardener's scheme." She had such a rueful expression. 

"Her name is Makino, and she'd stay in the East Blue Foosha Village as a Barmaid." 

"Her life is peaceful now. If possible, I didn't want her to suffer any longer."

Huo Yuhao was shocked again, 'How many Ostera Race royalty get so close to Luffy exactly? Don't tell me they know about Protagonist Halo?' 

'This is too good to be coincidence.' 

'No, they are probably drawn by Luffy's luck.' 

'As a Protagonist, Luffy possessed immense luck. And just being on his good side will affect their luck, too.'

'Since Shanks 'accidentally' gave Luffy Gomu-Gomu no Mi, he should have known about Joyboy's will.' 

'Interesting, very interesting. It seems Shanks is preparing to go on an all-out war against Imu.' 

Huo Yuhao glanced at Toki and checked her aura of fortune, finding it swaying unnaturally. It indicates her luck is nearing its end.

However, the aura of fortune also slowly gained vigor and became vibrant gold after some time. 

This cycle kept happening and made Huo Yuhao feel amused. 

Even though Toki is just a Time Remnant, her presence is still 'indirectly' connected to the past and future. It kept her alive because the past gave her background, and the future gave her a string to walk on. 

She's a ghost in a constant loop of existence. 

"Toki, do you want to live?" Huo Yuhao asked casually.

Toki's eyes widened, "This, I'm not sure I caught what you meant, Sir." 

Huo Yuhao shrugged, "It is what it is. I can give you a chance to live as a person again. A new fate, a new body, and even a new identity." 

Toki stared at him dumbly. At first, she thought Huo Yuhao wanted to give her a chance to reincarnate, but such a method wouldn't work.

She's a Time Remnant. 

The Concept of Time formed her based on Amatsuki Toki's memory. 

Unless Huo Yuhao wielded the Law of Time, she could only live like this for the rest of her life.

Besides that, Huo Yuhao also needs the Law of Life and Death to defy her situation. 

And there is one last step, that is Soul Generation. 

Toki knew she was a soulless existence. Her grasp on reality is that she was the Time Remnant of Amatsuki Toki and possessed some of her memory.

"It's just a yes and no question." Huo Yuhao chuckled. 

Toki was unsure but still answered, "If I can live, then I want to live!"

Huo Yuhao nodded in acknowledgment, "Good answer. Remember those words well." 

Weirdly, Toki's vision blurred in complete darkness.

She somehow fell into a dreaming-like state, even though she couldn't sleep or dream.

A gentle blue light struck her.

It was gentle warmth and freshness that swept all her senses. 

For once, Toki felt her soul was getting comforted, something she shouldn't have. 

It's like being hugged by a gentle mother. 

Slowly but surely, Toki sensed her surroundings into reality. 

She could smell, taste, hear, touch, and finally saw the familiar-looking dock. 

"Awake yet?" An amused voice brushed Toki's ears.

Toki hurriedly looked to the left and saw Huo Yuhao staring at her with beautiful blue eyes. Those blue eyes are outstanding, better than any ocean or blue sky, and have white specks like stars.

Coupled with Huo Yuhao's handsome face, Toki felt her heartbeat rising rapidly. Her face flushed in panic because these feelings were new to her.

She touched her chest and felt it beat, "Sir, this is..." 

"You're alive now. Cherish it." Huo Yuhao waved his hand dismissively as if he had done a menial task.

Toki cried in joy. 

She accepted her fate when her 'real' self time-traveled toward past and future, leaving her as nothing but discarded time. 

She has no power. 

However, her fate turned around. 

Who would have thought the random irregular she met would be this godly?

He didn't just overturn her life but also granted her the right to fight for her well-being. 

"I, Toki, can't explain how grateful I am."

"SIR! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR!" Toki kneeled with tears and snots. 

"From now on, I will do my best to serve you!" 

"Please accept me as your servant!" 

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, "Are you sure? Being my servant isn't an easy matter, you know?" 

"I will do it!" Toki said with a determined look. 

"Very well. You will be my servant from now on." Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.

"However..." 

"It seems you're hiding something from me earlier." 

Toki broke into cold sweats and stuttered, "I-I have no excuse." 

"What did you hide from me exactly?" 

Toki hesitated before replying, "Actually, another irregular appeared in this timeline before you." 

"She was an unruly fellow but extremely strong without a doubt."

"I promised not to leak her presence to outsiders." 

"Oh, right. Now that I realize it, your coat looks similar to hers." 

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, "Do you know her name?" 

"And if possible, describe her physical features because I might know her." 

Toki nodded and answered, "She's a young woman with silver hair and aqua-blue eyes. Beside the cloak, she wore skimpy battle armor beneath it and looked like a Valkyrie." 

"Her name is Rossweisse." 

"Oh, right. Rossweisse said she was from another world called Draconic Deus and currently worked in the Dragon Nest." 

A smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face, "Found her." 

"Pardon, Sir?" Toki tilted her head in confusion at his reaction.

Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Well, it's normal for you to be confused." 

"I haven't introduced myself all this time." 

"Let me tell you something then..." 

"My name is Huo Yuhao." 

"And I'm the leader of Dragon Nest." 

Toki froze like a statue and stared at Huo Yuhao as if she had witnessed a God for the first time. She has befriended Rossweisse all these years and learned many things from her.

However, one name always stuck in Rossweisse's story. And this name belongs to an existence that Toki didn't dare to imagine. 

Not even Three Great Kings of Myriad Heaven Realm could afford to offend this person.

Ars Goetia. 

The Conqueror of the Worlds.

The Blue-Eyed Dragon God.

The Primordial Human God. 

Draconic Deus's God Emperor. 

And finally, the Dragon Nest's Leader. 

Huo Yuhao.
