Gu Yuena's Words

Long Yu suddenly felt a gentle energy envelop his body. It made him feel incredibly comfortable; every cell in his body seemed to be cheering, and he could not help but become intoxicated by the sensation. Moreover, this energy felt strangely familiar.

A Spatial Gate appeared, and an incomparably beautiful figure emerged from it.

A flash of silvery-white light streaked past, and her graceful, curvaceous figure appeared before Long Yu.

She stood around 1.75 meters tall, about the same height as Qian Renxue. Her long silver hair framed skin like ice and bones like jade. Her voluptuous figure outlined perfect curves, while her peerless beauty was like that of a fairy descending to the mortal world. Her features seemed meticulously crafted by heaven itself, without the slightest flaw. Her purple eyes held mystery and nobility within them.

There was also an unfathomable aura about her, though she had concealed it well.

The moment Long Yu saw her, he knew her identity—the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

With that appearance, and the ability to tear through space at will, in the Star Dou Great Forest—or rather, the entire continent—only the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena could be that person. Still, to be honest, Gu Yuena was even slightly more beautiful than Qian Renxue.

Of course, once someone's looks reached a certain level, it came down to temperament.

Naturally, Long Yu could not directly reveal Gu Yuena's identity or anything of the sort. At present, he was supposed not to know her or recognize her.

"Who are you? You're so beautiful! Why do I feel like you're familiar somehow? And why do you have this inexplicable attraction to me? Both my martial soul and bloodline are reacting intensely," Long Yu said honestly.

He was not making that up. Because of the Dragon God Martial Soul and Dragon God Bloodline, the instant Gu Yuena appeared, Long Yu felt his martial soul and bloodline become unusually excited, as though they had encountered the surprise of finding their own origin and power.

"Beautiful?" Gu Yuena looked at the eight-year-old Lord Dragon God before her, somewhat puzzled.

Still, she quickly bowed and said respectfully, "This subordinate, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, pays respects to Lord Dragon God!"

"What subordinate? What lord? Why can't I understand a single word you're saying? It seems like we've never met before, have we, beautiful big sister?" Long Yu said with a "puzzled" expression.

It seems that my lord truly has lost his memories. He can't even recognize me. But the resonance of his martial soul and bloodline cannot deceive me, Gu Yuena thought.

Although Long Yu's current strength was extremely weak, his bloodline was actually somewhat more advanced than Gu Yuena's Dragon Clan Bloodline.

After all, despite Gu Yuena's immense strength, she was still only a part of the Dragon God.

How am I supposed to persuade my lord to hate humans? He has lived in the human world for so many years, so this will likely be difficult.

Just today, when Gu Yuena saw Long Yu bring two humans here, she could tell from their words and expressions that her lord had a very good relationship with humans.

Forget it. I should tell him honestly now, lest he come to resent us for lies in the future.

"My lord, when you first awakened your martial soul, did you feel that your martial soul and bloodline were exceptionally powerful?" Gu Yuena began to guide him tactically, rather than directly telling Long Yu that his martial soul and bloodline were the Dragon God Martial Soul and Dragon God Bloodline.

"Yes, very powerful. And no one could recognize what kind of martial soul it was. They all called it the Nine-Colored Dragon. As for its quality, it seemed even more powerful than the Divine Martial Soul of the Angel God!" Although he knew Gu Yuena's intentions, Long Yu still played along.

"The Nine-Colored Dragon? What kind of lowly thing is that?" Gu Yuena said disdainfully.

"So that means you know about my martial soul and bloodline?" Long Yu said with a "delighted" expression.

"My lord, your martial soul and bloodline are the noble Dragon God Martial Soul and Dragon God Bloodline, far beyond the so-called Nine-Colored Dragon and Angel God. The Angel God is merely a First-Rank God. The Dragon God, however, stood above the five Supreme Gods of the God Realm—far more powerful than even a God King!" Gu Yuena said fervently.

"Oh? So my martial soul has such an origin?" Long Yu said in "sudden realization."

"My lord! You are the Dragon God, though you are still weak, and you are also the common ancestor of all terrestrial soul beasts. The Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena now begs you to restore the glory of the soul beast race!" Gu Yuena said as she dropped to one knee.

"Huh?" Long Yu looked at Gu Yuena in shock, unable to say a single word.

Because this was probably how any normal person would react upon hearing such news. Long Yu could hardly say, "Well, I already know the origins of you, my martial soul, and my bloodline. I also know about the conflict between soul beasts, the God Realm, and humanity, because I've read the original novel."

"My lord, please listen as I explain in detail." Gu Yuena did not rise, instead speaking with great respect.

"You should get up first. I feel strange with you kneeling on one knee like that," Long Yu said.

"Yes, my lord." Gu Yuena rose to her feet.

"The God Realm is a plane one level higher than the Douluo Continent. After constantly cultivating, Lord Dragon God eventually led all soul beasts into the God Realm. At that time, humans had not yet begun cultivating, so no human could become a god," Gu Yuena said.

"What happened afterward? If that was the case, why did you say soul beasts are in such a bad position now and need me to restore them?" Long Yu asked with a "puzzled" expression.

Pretending like this is so exhausting, he inwardly complained. But there's no helping it.

"My lord, after the first human inadvertently absorbed the first soul ring, humanity embarked upon the path of cultivation. Compared with us soul beasts, humans cultivate far too quickly. Humans only need a hundred or so years of cultivation—some genius soul masters need merely a few decades—to reach the strength of ten-thousand-year or even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Yet among us soul beasts, which powerful soul beast has not cultivated for more than ten thousand years, or even hundreds of thousands of years? Why is heaven so unfair?" Gu Yuena looked up at the sky indignantly, her jade-like hand clenched tightly into a fist.

Long Yu said nothing. Indeed, in terms of their cultivation systems, the cultivation speeds of soul beasts and humans were worlds apart.

"Later, seeing that humans had difficulty cultivating, Lord Dragon God permitted them to live in the God Realm rather than directly slaughtering them. Gradually, more and more humans attained godhood, and their strength grew ever greater, eventually even surpassing that of the soul beast race. Then the God War erupted. The five Supreme Gods of the human God Realm—the Evil God King, Good God King, Asura God, God of Destruction, and God of Life—joined forces against Lord Dragon God. In the end, Lord Dragon God was defeated. After being ambushed by the Asura God, he was cut in half with a single slash of his sword, and I am one of those halves. The other half, the Golden Dragon King, was trapped in the God Realm, while I escaped with grave injuries to the Lake of Life on the Douluo Continent to recover. The other human gods also took the opportunity to slaughter the soul beast race. After they had largely wiped out the soul beasts' power, humanity completely came to rule the God Realm.

"To prevent soul beasts from ever threatening their rule again, the God Realm Committee, formed by the five Supreme Gods, decreed that soul beasts could never become gods!" Gu Yuena said through gritted teeth, her voice filled with hatred.

"As more and more powerful humans emerged, and humans needed to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings in order to advance, the strength of our soul beast race grew weaker and weaker, while humanity grew stronger and stronger.

"If this continued, with one side waxing as the other waned, then in twenty thousand years, the soul beast race might cease to exist." Gu Yuena sighed.

As the ruler of land-dwelling soul beasts, she could only watch helplessly as the strength of the soul beasts steadily dwindled. She could not act, and she did not dare to act. Who could understand that feeling?

The mission of reviving the soul beast race had always weighed upon her shoulders. Whenever she saw the hopeful, then disappointed looks in her subordinates' eyes, Gu Yuena's heart ached as well.

It was only because her strength was still far from sufficient! But now, things were different. Gu Yuena had seen hope for the soul beast race: Lord Dragon God had reincarnated, and the soul beast race had a chance to rise again!
