Upon hearing Gu Yuena's words, Su Zui as if something had been added to his mind, and a long-buried memory surfaced in his mind like a movie.
That was when I had just transmigrated to the Douluo Continent. In my hazy memory, I seemed to be picked up by a figure.
Su Zui seemed to still be able to recall that warm embrace, and the shadow of that figure gradually overlapped with Gu Yuena in front of him.
"It seems you've remembered everything."
Gu Yuena took a step forward, and she was already standing in front of Su Zui.
Su Zui did not resist, letting Gu Yue's soft little hand stroke her forehead.
"I can't believe you've grown so much in just twelve years."
Su Zui spoke with a hint of resentment.
"Since you already picked me up in the first place, why did you throw me back into the forest?"
To be honest, Gu Yuena was the first person I felt warmth from after arriving in the Douluo Continent.
However, this warmth didn't seem to last long. Su Zui remembered that not long after, Gu Yuena placed herself on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest again.
Then, he was picked up by Qian Daoliu happened to be passing by, and taken back to the Spirit Hall.
"It wasn't that I wanted to throw you away; it was all fate's guidance."
Gu Yuena sighed.
Upon hearing the word "fate," Su Zui felt a jolt in her heart.
Although Su Zui didn't go online much in his previous life, he had still been somewhat familiar with the concept of fate.
What was circulating online at the time? Time reigns supreme, space is king, destiny is unpredictable, and cause and effect are emperors.
And fate is the most elusive and elusive thing.
Su Zui wasn't even sure if fate existed.
But now, when the word "fate" comes from the mouth of a God, it takes on a different meaning.
Su Zui asked, "What exactly is this so-called guidance of fate?"
Gu Yuena sighed.
"The way of destiny is mysterious and profound; even gods cannot glimpse even a corner of it."
"The reason I brought up destiny is because the Emperor Auspicious Beast's fortune favors the entire Star Dou Great Forest, and through this, I can glimpse a corner of destiny."
"In the scenes I see, your fate is intertwined with the Spirit Hall."
"Since it's all predestined, you'll eventually enter the Spirit Hall. Rather than forcing you to stay by my side, I'd rather let you drift along with the guidance of fate."
"So I placed you on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, and as fate predicted, you were taken back to the Spirit Hall by the strongest human."
"But now, I sense that your fate is intertwined with that of the Soul Beasts once again. You seem to have taken on the fate of the Soul Beasts once more, which is why I have appeared."
Su Zui remained silent for a while, and the misunderstanding in her heart dissipated.
Then, Su Zui raised her head and asked the question that had been lingering in her mind.
Do you know why I came into this world?
Gu Yuena shook her head without hesitation.
"To traverse the universe and deliver you to this world, perhaps only the Dragon God and the Creation God at their peak could accomplish this, or perhaps the Space-Time Dragon could also do it."
"But the Dragon God has disappeared, the Creation God is nowhere to be found, and the Space-Time Dragon also vanished into the universe along with the Dragon God. Therefore, it shouldn't be one of the three who brought you to this world."
"I can sense that the sword on your body is more terrifying than the God King's. It must be that sword that brought you into this world."
Upon hearing Gu Yuena's words, Su Zui couldn't help but recall his earlier conversation with the Great Luo Sword Embryo.
The Great Luo Sword Embryo once said that its two previous hosts were both beings above the Immortal Emperor level, and even it itself was a divine weapon at the Immortal Emperor level.
At the time, Su Zui thought the Great Luo Sword Embryo was bragging, but now that he thinks about it, he probably wasn't bragging after all.
Su Zui looked at Gu Yuena with some trepidation.
"So you've come to find me now to keep me in the Star Dou Great Forest? After all, you just said that my fate is now linked to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Gu Yuena corrected, "It's the entire Soul Beast Realm, not the Star Dou Great Forest."
So you're going to leave me in the Star Dou Great Forest?
Gu Yuena shook her head.
"No need. Fate is the most mysterious thing in the world; even the Creation God cannot control fate."
"Since fate has linked you with the Star Dou Great Forest, the outcome will be the same whether I leave you there or not."
"And what you're thinking—'Time reigns supreme, space is king, destiny is unpredictable, cause and effect are emperor'—I also really like this saying."
"There seems to be an intricate connection between fate and cause and effect."
"After you arrived in the Douluo Continent, I was the first person to pick you up; that is karma."
"The cause and effect between us are intricately intertwined, and fate has bound us together. So no matter where you go, you will eventually return to the place where cause and effect began, or as they say in your culture, 'all things return to their origin.'"
Hearing Gu Yuena's words, Su Zui was almost numb.
"Seriously, do you all enjoy prying into other people's memories? That's an impolite habit, isn't it?"
Gu Yuena blinked.
"I was the first person to hold you, so I'm practically your mother, right? How can you be lecturing your mother like this?"
Upon hearing Gu Yuena's words, Su Zui was instantly stunned.
The form that Gu Yuena transformed into was about the same size as himself.
Is it a bit too perverse to make yourself call a girl your own age "Mom"?
Gu Yuena poked Su Zui's cheek. "What? You don't want to?"
Su Zui was speechless.
"Isn't your fetish a bit too strange? Enticing human infants to call you 'Mom'."
Gu Yuena tilted her head, then looked at Su Zui with interest.
Meanwhile, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had already plunged headfirst into the Spiritual Sea, tightly hugging its head and shrinking into a corner.
She was trembling and muttering to herself.
"They can't see me, they can't see me, they can't see me at all!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt she knew too much; she wondered if she would be silenced.
Shocking! A certain perverted God has gone completely mad! She uses abnormal methods to lure human boys into calling her "Mom"! Is this a distortion of humanity or a moral collapse?
Seeing Su Zui's awkward expression, Gu Yuena didn't tease him any further.
"Since you don't want to call me 'Mom,' can't you at least call me 'Sister'?"
"Sister~"
This time, Su Zui didn't hesitate. Calling her "sister" was quite normal, but calling her "mom" would be too abnormal.
"Alright, Xiao Zui, I can't stay exposed on the mainland for too long. There are some bastards still watching Douluo Continent. I only dared to leave the Lake of Life because I set up a barrier around it."
"Besides visiting you, I also wanted to remind you of something."
"Don't trust those from the Divine Realm; they are parasites and oppressors of the Douluo Universe. Trust in the guidance of fate; I believe we will meet again soon!"
Looking in the direction where Gu Yuena disappeared, Su Zui pondered the last sentence carefully.
Do I believe in fate? Why do I feel like fate is pointing at me right now?
Su Zui slowly turned around and looked towards his southwest.
At the same time, Su Zui's Heavenly Eye suddenly opened automatically, and at the same time, the Heavenly Fate Prediction Soul Skill automatically unfolded!
