When you're out in the world, you make your own identity!
"How is that possible? You possessed this human?" Di Tian's first reaction upon hearing Qian Gu Huang Yu say that she had also been a beast in her previous life was disbelief.
In Di Tian's view, unless Qian Gu Huang Yu had used a god-level soul to possess this child before her martial soul awakened after dying, there was no way to explain why she possessed so many miraculous methods.
Yes, Di Tian already believed that Qian Gu Huang Yu had once been a deity, and one of a very high rank at that. Otherwise, she could not possibly have resurrected and commanded a Rank 1 God.
Although Qian Ren Xue was the weakest of the three gods of Douluo Dalu 1, she was still a Rank 1 God!
Though Qian Ren Xue said nothing, her expression showed that she too believed Di Tian's words. Summoning a deity to work for oneself was something even the Asura God, a God King, could not do.
Qian Gu Huang Yu said somewhat unhappily, "Do you really think I am that despicable?"
At the very least, Qian Gu Huang Yu had been a newborn infant when she transmigrated, so she definitely had not possessed anyone else.
Gu Yuena furrowed her lovely brows and probed, "Were you a God King reincarnated for cultivation?"
Gu Yuena had inherited not only the Dragon God's wisdom, but also the Dragon God's memories. Just now, within those vast memories, she had found the possibility that most closely matched Qian Gu Huang Yu's circumstances.
If a God King willingly or forcibly lost their life, it was entirely possible for them to reincarnate and cultivate anew with their memories. Moreover, the more powerful the God King, the more things they could bring along.
For example, their Super Divine Artifacts and bloodline.
That was why Gu Yuena addressed Qian Gu Huang Yu as "you" in such a respectful manner. After all, according to the Dragon God's memories, even God Kings on the level of the Nine Dragon Kings could not reincarnate and cultivate anew while bringing along their own Super Divine Artifacts. At her peak, she herself had only been at the early stage of God King.
Yet the girl before her had very likely once been an existence close to, or even equal to, the Dragon God.
In a sense, Gu Yuena was not wrong. The original form Qian Gu Huang Yu referred to as her past life was actually Star Eater Ghidorah.
Star Eater Ghidorah bore the title, "The King of the Void That Does Not Exist in This World," and was a higher-dimensional primordial creature.
Compared to the Dragon God, who had been killed by the universe's will, the universe could not even bear Star Eater Ghidorah's true body descending into it.
The difference in strength was obvious at a glance.
"That's right." Qian Gu Huang Yu snapped her fingers and continued, "But in order to preserve more of the Super Divine Artifacts and bloodline I possessed, I also paid a price."
"Part of my memories."
When you're out in the world, your identity is something you make for yourself! What could be more intimidating than a God King who had reincarnated and cultivated anew? Besides, with the Gate of Babylon and Ghidorah's bloodline, Qian Gu Huang Yu was confident she could keep this lie going.
And even if someone asked in the future why her understanding of laws was so low, it was because she had lost her memories!
So many divine artifacts? Traded for memories!
According to Qian Gu Huang Yu's original plan, she would wait until she broke through to the god level, then bring the likewise god-level Qian Ren Xue to discuss cooperation with Gu Yuena.
By then, both sides would have the standing to negotiate as equals, and she would even hold the advantage.
But since they had met ahead of schedule, Qian Gu Huang Yu had no choice but to push the cooperation forward. Otherwise, if these negotiations fell apart, not only might cooperation become impossible in the future, she and Qian Ren Xue might even die here.
Although Gu Yuena and Di Tian still appeared calm, turbulent waves had already risen in their hearts. What did she mean by preserving more of her Super Divine Artifacts? Just how many Super Divine Artifacts did she have?
Gu Yuena fell into deep thought. I have to consider whether this is the only opportunity I will ever have in this life. The chance to revive the dragon clan and spirit beasts may be right before me.
Yet Qian Gu Huang Yu's heart was far less calm than she appeared. For the plan to proceed smoothly, I can only reveal the Gate of Babylon. No, I still need to put more pressure on Gu Yuena. I can't let her get greedy and decide to kill me for my treasures.
Di Tian was also secretly pondering at the side. If a God King reincarnates and cultivates anew, then barring any accidents, she will definitely return to the God King level. Right now, she is at her weakest. If My Lord forcibly draws upon the Dragon God's divine position, dealing with an Angel God will not be a problem. Since we've already offended her anyway, we might as well gamble and seize all her Super Divine Artifacts.
Although Di Tian did not know what Super Divine Artifacts Qian Gu Huang Yu possessed, any artifact that could make a God King willing to sacrifice even her own memories in order to protect it could not possibly be ordinary.
Qian Ren Xue felt both excited and nervous. Since Huang Yu has such an extraordinary background, then as long as I do as she says, resurrecting Mother and Grandfather should not be a problem. But the premise is that we absolutely cannot fail here.
Thinking this, Qian Ren Xue tightly gripped the Angel Holy Sword in her hand, ready at any moment to deal with a surprise attack from Gu Yuena and Di Tian.
The one human, two beasts, and one half-beast, each harboring their own thoughts, suddenly fell into silence with perfect tacit understanding. No one made the first move.
Because everyone understood that once they acted, there would be no turning back.
Di Tian did not transmit his voice to Gu Yuena, because before a god-level powerhouse like Qian Ren Xue, Gu Yuena might have a way to keep her from hearing what they said, but Di Tian clearly did not possess such ability.
Therefore, Di Tian had been using his eyes to ask Gu Yuena whether they should make a move.
Although Di Tian leaned toward killing them for their treasures, Gu Yuena still had to make the final decision.
Just as the strange silence between the two sides caused the atmosphere to grow increasingly tense, Qian Gu Huang Yu was the first to break it.
"Silver Dragon King, you should be the leader of the beast race on this plane, right?"
"I am the Co-Lord of Spirit Beasts." Though Gu Yuena did not understand why Qian Gu Huang Yu was asking, she still answered her question.
"You and the Dragon God—what is your relationship? If I am not mistaken, you should be the Dragon God's other half, correct?" Qian Gu Huang Yu continued.
"Yes." Gu Yuena did not ask how Qian Gu Huang Yu knew. For a God King, it was not strange for her to know anything.
"Then you are far inferior to the Dragon God."
"The Dragon God of old was so peerlessly gifted, yet you can only lead your remaining clansmen into hiding in such a tiny place."
"With you as their leader, the beast race of this plane is truly unfortunate! Though not many beasts can think that way, seeing as they are nearly all dead."
Gu Yuena's purple eyes were filled with desolation. She did not refute Qian Gu Huang Yu, because everything Qian Gu Huang Yu said was true. When those bloody facts were laid bare before her, she too began to reflect on whether she was truly a qualified leader.
Qian Ren Xue looked at Qian Gu Huang Yu in surprise. Weren't they negotiating as equals just now? Why has she suddenly become so aggressive?
Seeing his lord affected by Qian Gu Huang Yu, Di Tian hurriedly interrupted, "Shut up! Our affairs are not for an outsider like you to interfere in!"
Di Tian was still counting on Gu Yuena to make spirit beasts great again! He could not let her be affected here!
Moreover, protecting his lord's reputation was also his duty as a subordinate.
