Chen An did not answer immediately, instead pretending to seriously consider the question.
In reality, he was thinking about how to make his fake Soul Beast identity sound flawless.
Fortunately, he knew the entire Douluo story and quickly figured out how to fabricate it.
Gu Yue Na did not urge him. It was normal for someone to hesitate when asked about their identity.
"To be honest, I'm not actually a dragon from this continent."
"I come from another continent, known to humans as the Star Luo Continent."
"I was born in a special small space on that continent, nurtured by a special kind of energy."
"To be honest, I don't even know what race I belong to."
"I only know that I'm a dragon, a rather special dragon."
"After cultivating in that small space for a hundred thousand years, I left and entered the outside world."
"At the time, I intended to transform into a human and cultivate, but something unexpected happened midway through."
"Although I successfully became human, I was somewhat different from ordinary transformed Soul Beasts."
"I can switch between my human form and original form."
Chen An had made up an origin story based on some of his own circumstances.
"A special small space? What kind of small space?" Gu Yue Na asked instinctively.
Chen An glanced at Gu Yue Na without answering.
Seeing his reaction, Gu Yue Na understood that it was something he did not want to discuss, so she changed the subject.
"Then how did you get from another continent to this one?"
She knew about the Star Luo Continent, having heard of it while living in the human world.
She knew of the Douluo Continent, the Star Luo Continent, and the Douling Continent, but not much else.
"After my transformation failed, all my cultivation was lost. I became an infant and was taken in by humans."
"They were Sun Moon Federation citizens doing business in the Star Luo Empire. Later, they returned to the Federation."
"So I came from another continent to this one," Chen An said.
He tried not to think about his younger sister and father, lest those painful memories resurface.
Gu Yue Na instinctively glanced at the buried pit and did not question him further.
Apparently, the humans who had taken him in had already been killed.
The reason he had just said he wanted revenge against Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the Holy Spirit Cult was probably because of them.
She could understand Chen An's feelings.
She had only stayed with a human family for three years, yet she had already developed some attachment.
He might have been with them for more than ten years. His feelings must have been deeper than hers, so his grief was only natural.
"How much do you know about your own Bloodline?" Gu Yue Na asked again.
What she was truly curious about was Chen An's dragon Bloodline.
The strongest Bloodline in the world was undoubtedly the Dragon God's Bloodline, followed by the Gold Silver Dragon Kings.
Then came the Nine Dragon Kings. Yet among all those Bloodlines, none resembled his.
But his Bloodline gave her the feeling that it was no weaker than her own.
In other words, his Bloodline was above the Nine Dragon Kings, at the level of the Gold Silver Dragon Kings.
Yet in her memories, there were no other dragons with Bloodlines comparable to those of the Gold Silver Dragon Kings.
What sort of small space could actually nurture a Bloodline of this level?
She was immensely curious about the mysterious small space Chen An had mentioned.
If possible, she had to go there and take a look. It might have something to do with dragonkind.
"I never understood why I was born in the first place. Then that accident during my transformation caused me to lose some memories."
"My memories regarding my own Bloodline are also quite muddled, so I can't answer your question for now."
Chen An said this, knowing he could only attribute things he could not explain to that accident.
Gu Yue Na and Di Tian exchanged glances, both seeing the disappointment in the other's eyes.
"Do you still remember where that small space is?" Gu Yue Na asked expectantly.
"I mean its exact location on the Star Luo Continent," she added.
"I don't remember," Chen An said decisively, shaking his head. He clearly did not want to say.
Di Tian narrowed his eyes, clearly dissatisfied with that answer.
Gu Yue Na was somewhat dissatisfied as well, but she did not press him. It was only natural that he would refuse to say.
"Information should be exchanged. Aren't you going to tell me about your respective situations?"
"I haven't heard much information from you so far, and I'm also curious about your origins."
Chen An countered, seizing control of the conversation.
He knew their circumstances inside out, but he still had to ask on the surface.
That way, when he mentioned certain things about them in the future, it would not seem strange.
Besides, he could use this chance to see how much they trusted him.
Gu Yue Na thought for a moment before saying, "Do you know about the Dragon God?"
"The Dragon God? I seem to have some impression of him in my memories, but it's very vague," Chen An said.
Seeing that Chen An's memories were incomplete, Gu Yue Na first briefly explained the Dragon God's circumstances.
She mentioned the great war in the God Realm, and only began explaining her own identity after speaking of how the Dragon God had split into two.
Chen An listened quietly, showing appropriate surprise, though it was not very pronounced.
He was mentally and physically exhausted, utterly drained. He truly had no mood to put on an act.
Being able to show even a slightly surprised expression was already his best effort. He could not do much better.
When Gu Yue Na spoke of what had happened after she arrived on this continent, she was rather brief.
She had spent all these years recovering from her injuries, so there was not much to say.
What she spoke of most was what had happened in recent years, after her injuries had improved.
This was what Chen An paid the most attention to. His greatest question had always been why Gu Yue Na, after recovering from her injuries, still went to understand humans.
She was one of the Dragon God's incarnations. At worst, she should have been comparable to an ordinary God King.
Even taking her injuries into account, assuming she could not fully exert her strength.
And even considering all sorts of other factors, she should at least have possessed god-level strength.
With such strength, in this age without gods, could she not do whatever she wanted?
Unless she had lost her mind, he could not understand why she would give up her cultivation and become human to learn about humans.
Only after hearing Gu Yue Na's account did he understand that she had been forced into it.
The moment her injuries recovered, her first thought must have been to act directly and exterminate humanity.
She had intended to do so, but before she could take action, she was threatened by the Plane Master.
If she dared use god-level power to harm humans, he would definitely act and kill her.
She was not afraid of the Plane Master, a Tier 2 God, but she was wary of his method of perishing together with her.
After all, this was the Douluo World, under the Plane Master's control.
He had a way to destroy the world at the cost of its collapse, taking her down with him.
At the time, the Plane Master had also been quite resolute. Since humanity was going to be exterminated by her anyway, there was no need for this world to continue existing.
Gu Yue Na had her misgivings and was unwilling to perish together with him just like that.
Thus, she compromised and stated that she would not destroy humanity, but the Plane Master continued to press the issue.
He did not believe she would truly keep her promise and demanded that she leave the Douluo World, swearing by her Bloodline never to return.
Naturally, Gu Yue Na was unwilling. She proposed that she could swear not to destroy humanity, but she would not leave.
The meaning was obvious. She would not exterminate them, but that did not mean she would not kill some of them.
The Plane Master insisted that she leave, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
