Dissuasion and Gu Yue Na's Invitation

Gu Yue Na's anger subsided, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face. She truly had not considered the possibility of her mind being affected.

In her understanding, splitting off a portion of her consciousness would merely mean losing some emotions.

"It would only lower my intelligence somewhat. The impact shouldn't be too great," Gu Yue Na said uncertainly.

"Don't be so confident, and don't make everything sound so simple."

"Separating your consciousness treats the symptoms, not the root cause. It can't resolve the fundamental problem."

"Instead, it will make the problem increasingly serious and bring about many unforeseen changes."

"For example, after you split off part of your emotional consciousness, what if your main body develops similar emotional consciousness again? What will you do then?"

"Split off another portion of your consciousness?" Chen An questioned expressionlessly.

He had always been confused by Gu Yue Na's series of actions in the story. He simply could not understand them.

After her injuries improved, she had wanted to learn about humans. Yet because of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, she ended up getting herself involved.

Though she had lived for a long time, she was an emotional idiot who could easily fall for someone.

Especially when facing the Golden Dragon King, whose Bloodline attracted her, she could practically offer no resistance.

Going to approach Tang Wulin was simply throwing herself at him. From an all-knowing perspective, it was incredibly brainless.

Clearly, she had not recognized that at all. She was even pleased with herself, believing what she had done was meaningful.

Of course, it was also possible that the plane's will had been influencing her invisibly.

If that was truly the case, then she had been schemed against, and the brainless assessment could be lowered somewhat.

"This..." Gu Yue Na fell silent, not knowing how to refute him.

Di Tian rather agreed with Chen An's words. Indeed, separating part of her consciousness would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

"My Lord, I think he has a point. You should reconsider."

"Think of other methods. There must be a better solution," Di Tian urged.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Yue Na still nodded. She would think about it some more.

"I'll give you a suggestion. Whenever human emotions arise, think more about what humans have done to soul beasts."

"Use hatred to dilute those emotions. Over time, you may be able to eliminate them."

Chen An slowly rose from the ground, speaking as he put on his clothes.

Gu Yue Na slightly averted her gaze and seriously considered Chen An's suggestion.

When she tried thinking about the current plight of soul beasts, anger surged within her, and those complicated human emotions truly faded somewhat.

Thinking of how humans had harmed soul beasts to this extent, while she herself had been thinking about a human, made her feel guilty.

But making her forget that person within a short time was truly not easy.

During the time when she had lost her consciousness, that person had indeed left a deep impression on her.

Chen An put on his clothes. They were several sizes too large and hung loosely on him.

"Thank you for the clothes. If I get the chance, I'll return several sets to you," Chen An said to Di Tian.

After saying that, he began pushing the dirt back into the pit, restoring the place to how it had been.

This was, after all, the grave of his younger sister and father. He would still need to come here to pay his respects in the future.

Gu Yue Na and Di Tian stood nearby watching, sensing the grieving emotion that filled the air.

"Something must have happened to him," Gu Yue Na said curiously.

Chen An filled the pit handful by handful, and in the end, he did not erect a tombstone.

"Xiao Yan, Dad, don't worry. I'll definitely find a way to avenge you."

"Until Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the Holy Spirit Cult have completely vanished from this world, I will be too ashamed to meet you below."

Chen An choked out the words, forcibly holding back his tears as he bowed deeply three times.

He slowly rose and walked down the hillside. He was not moving quickly, but every step was firm and steady.

"Wait." Gu Yue Na called out to Chen An.

Chen An stopped. He had no choice but to stop, since Di Tian had appeared in front of him at some point.

"Is something the matter?" Chen An turned to look at Gu Yue Na, expressionless.

He was not afraid. Having already experienced death, he no longer knew what fear was.

"Since you overheard our conversation, you know that we are actually soul beasts."

"Have you never thought of joining us? After all, you are also a soul beast."

"Now that so few soul beasts remain, we should unite even more," Gu Yue Na invited him.

During her conversation with Di Tian, she had inadvertently revealed their identities.

That was precisely why she had not been surprised when Chen An told her to think about what humans had done to soul beasts.

Di Tian glanced at Gu Yue Na in surprise. His Lord was placing the other party on the same level as herself.

He instinctively felt that it was inappropriate, but when he thought of the Bloodline pressure he had sensed earlier, he somewhat understood.

In terms of Bloodline, this dragon could barely converse with his Lord as an equal.

But what kind of dragon was it exactly? Even now, he had not thought of any relevant information.

Chen An was stunned. A soul beast? They thought he was a soul beast?

He quickly recalled the scene of himself bursting out of the soil, when he had transformed into a giant dragon.

It was understandable that this had led them to mistake him for a soul beast as well.

As for why he could transform into a giant dragon, only some vague information existed in his mind.

He would need to sort through that information before he could understand what exactly was going on.

What he knew for now was that he had gained power and could cultivate.

However, the power he possessed was rather strange and might differ from that of ordinary soul masters.

"What can I do if I join you?" Chen An asked in return.

Since they had mistaken him for a soul beast, he might as well let them continue misunderstanding.

That was not a bad thing for him. On the contrary, it could offer him some help.

Perhaps he could use the power of soul beasts to achieve his revenge. Alone, he was still somewhat too weak.

Of course, Yun Ming, Zang Xin, and Ha Luosa were people he would definitely kill with his own hands. He would not borrow the hands of others.

Especially Yun Ming. He would ruthlessly drive a spear into his heart and make him experience that piercing agony.

"Take revenge against humanity. Soul beasts have declined, and so few of us remain. Humans caused all of this."

"We must make those humans pay the most painful price," Gu Yue Na said coldly.

"Do you have a plan?" Chen An asked.

"Not yet. I haven't learned enough about humans, so I haven't made a plan."

Gu Yue Na answered truthfully. She had been in the human world a few years ago, but an accident had occurred.

During that time, she had not learned much useful information.

"You don't need to study humans anymore. I've already learned enough about them over the years."

"If you truly want to take revenge on humanity, you may as well let me help you make a plan,"

Chen An said. Letting Gu Yue Na study humans was no different from sending her straight into a trap.

"That can be arranged, but you need to tell me about your situation."

"Don't laugh at me, but even now, I still haven't figured out what kind of dragon you are."

"I'm very curious about your race, your upbringing, and some of your experiences."

Gu Yue Na looked at Chen An and spoke seriously. It was still necessary to probe into his background.
