Chapter 22: Call Me... Gu Yuena! The Scheming Hu Liena!
"You must have noticed that in the two other worlds revealed today, neither of their cultivation systems requires one to kill Soul Beasts and absorb Soul Rings in order to break through cultivation bottlenecks!"
The Silver Dragon King spoke in a somber tone, "The reason Douluo Continent's cultivation system is like this is because those lofty gods of the God Realm altered Douluo Continent's rules, intending to use humanity's hands to wipe out our Soul Beast clan!"
Hearing the Silver Dragon King's words, Di Tian's fists clenched involuntarily, his face filled with hatred!
He had actually known about these matters ever since the Dragon God fell! But lacking the strength to do anything, he could only hide here and rage helplessly!
Their only hope was for the Silver Dragon King before him to recover from the wounds left by the Dragon God's war as soon as possible, then lead the remaining powerful members of the Soul Beast clan to break through the God Realm's restraints and avoid the fate of total extinction!
The Silver Dragon King's enormous eyes glanced at Di Tian. Then, brilliant silver radiance erupted from her body.
Before long, as the light gradually faded, the figure of a peerlessly beautiful woman slowly emerged.
She had long silver hair, neatly draped down her back all the way to her ankles. Not only was it silky smooth, but it also possessed a texture like silver crystals.
Her beauty was beyond description; no words could adequately portray her peerless features.
Her fair skin, paired with a pair of bright yet icy purple eyes, further added an inescapable air of nobility!
She was the Silver Dragon King's human form!
Raising a hand to stop the question in Di Tian's eyes, the Silver Dragon King continued, "Moreover, in Xiao Yan's world, although Magical Beasts and humans also slaughter one another, it is merely killing born of differing life forms and the need to survive. The truly high-ranking Magical Beast clans and the clans of powerful human experts generally do not infringe upon each other. That is the way of survival and life we Soul Beasts seek!"
"Furthermore, Shapeshifting Magical Beasts in that world can also fall in love with and unite with humans, just like Xiao Yan's wife—the final Exposer, Queen Medusa, Cailin! With such a foundation, at the very least, Xiao Yan and the other two would not immediately treat Soul Beasts like enemies to be hunted down and killed."
"Therefore, we can find these three Exposers and form an alliance with them."
"Before they fully mature, we can provide them with protection and ensure that they grow smoothly. In return, all we need is for them to provide cultivation methods suitable for Soul Beasts! And once they have grown strong enough, create a cultivation method that allows continuous cultivation and breakthroughs without absorbing Soul Rings!"
As she spoke, a peculiar gleam appeared in the Silver Dragon King's purple eyes.
"Besides, Xiao Yan is an Emperor-grade Alchemist. If his reincarnated self fully recovers his strength, then with his alchemy skills, refining a pill to treat the injuries within my body should be quite simple!"
Hearing the Silver Dragon King's explanation, Di Tian's eyes lit up, and he immediately said in delight, "Excellent!"
"If forming an alliance with them can truly achieve your vision, Master, then our Soul Beast clan can at least avoid extinction!"
"And if your injuries are fully healed and your strength is restored, Master, we may even be able to launch a counterattack against the God Realm!"
At this point, the delight in Di Tian's golden eyes was impossible to conceal. He then declared directly, "Master, this subordinate will immediately set out to find Xiao Yan and the others. Even if I have to search the entire continent, I will not hesitate!"
To his surprise, the Silver Dragon King suddenly raised a hand to stop the impetuous Di Tian as he turned to leave.
"There is no need for that!"
"Just now, I learned the locations of these three Exposers!"
"This time, I will go myself!"
Hearing the Silver Dragon King's words, Di Tian was greatly alarmed and hurriedly tried to dissuade her.
The Silver Dragon King grew somewhat irritated by his persuasion and shot Di Tian a dissatisfied glance. Di Tian immediately fell silent, yet his golden eyes remained fixed on her, hoping that she would change her mind.
With a faint sigh, the Silver Dragon King's expression turned slightly displeased as she said coldly, "Enough! Di Tian, you will come with me. Have Xiong Jun and the others guard this place. Summon them only if necessary."
"Let's go!"
"Oh, and once we reach the human world, do not call me Master anymore!"
"My name is... Gu Yuena."
A few minutes earlier, while the entire continent was abuzz with discussion.
Within the dense forest behind Shrek Academy, a streak of golden radiance appeared. It flashed past in an instant and shot directly into Zhu Zhuqing's glabella below, unnoticed by anyone.
A few minutes later, Zhu Zhuqing finally opened her eyes, which held nothing but joy and shock!
"Dou Emperor-level bloodline talent!"
"Earth Rank Low-grade cultivation method, Nine-Layered Phoenix Fire Art; Earth Rank High-grade cultivation methods, Heavenly Fire Burning City, Azure Dragon Immortal Scripture... Heaven Rank High-grade cultivation method, Ancient Emperor Scripture!"
"Profound Rank High-grade Combat Skills, Swallow Reversal Strike, Guardian Trigram Palm... Earth Rank High-grade Combat Skill, Emperor's Seal Art... Heaven Rank Combat Skills, Great Nirvana Finger, Ancient Emperor's One Finger, Seven-Colored Golden Clan Mark!"
"I actually seem to be able to cultivate and use all of these?! This feeling is incredible!"
As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly felt a vast force in her right palm, as though it were about to burst forth.
Sensing this anomaly, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes brightened, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
"Could it be..."
Muttering to herself, Zhu Zhuqing extended her right hand. The Soul Power within her body surged uncontrollably toward her palm.
The next moment, an enormous phantom of a goddess appeared directly behind Zhu Zhuqing!
The goddess's face was exactly the same as Gu Xun'er's adult appearance in the previous scene!
Turning around and looking at the goddess phantom, whose features bore a ninety-percent resemblance to her own yet appeared far more mature, Zhu Zhuqing's mind went blank. She subconsciously murmured, "Th-This is my second martial soul? I can actually possess a second martial soul too?"
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly felt as though everything had become much easier.
Meanwhile, inside Spirit Hall's Pope's Palace.
A streak of golden light shot into Bibi Dong's glabella beneath Hu Liena's watchful gaze. Soon after, Bibi Dong slowly closed her eyes.
"As expected, my previous guess was right!"
"Master really is that Exposer!"
Hu Liena focused her mind as she stood guard for Bibi Dong, but another matter involuntarily surfaced in her thoughts.
"Looks like that Xiao Yan was reincarnated on Douluo Continent too. I wonder what he's like after being reincarnated?"
"Could he be some old geezer?"
"Or a scruffy brute?"
"Or maybe a vagrant?!"
"Could he possibly even be a girl?! If he really is a girl, then when I meet her in the future, what should I call her? Big Sister? Or Grandmaster?"
As though she had imagined something amusing, Hu Liena could not help covering her mouth and laughing.
"Pfft~"
