Plane Master's Scheme

In the end, the Plane Master proposed a compromise.

It was a wager with Gu Yue Na. He bet that Gu Yue Na would be unable to destroy humanity using human methods.

If he won, Gu Yue Na would have to leave the Douluo World and swear never to return.

If Gu Yue Na won, the Plane Master would not interfere and would let her run amok in this world.

Gu Yue Na was confident in her own methods, so she accepted the wager.

That was how the chain of events leading to the present came about: taking human form and learning about humans.

Although she had taken human form, her god-level cultivation still remained.

It was merely sealed, and would not be unsealed unless she faced a life-or-death crisis.

She had an agreement with the Plane Master not to casually unseal her strength, or she would lose the bet.

"This should have been a plot hole in the novel. The author probably couldn't explain it either."

"But for me, this novel world has become real."

"The development of certain events therefore has its own logic." Chen An thought.

Gu Yue Na's explanation was fairly logical, and it also explained her various baffling actions.

Gu Yue Na was not unintelligent, but she was very naive. In this matter, she had been played by the Plane Master.

Making her take human form might have been intended to make her follow Xiao Wu's old path.

Soul beasts might find it difficult to fall in love with humans, but transformed soul beasts were another matter. Once they took human form, it seemed as though finding a boyfriend became their main purpose, while everything else came second.

And the person Gu Yue Na was most likely to fall for was Tang Wulin, who possessed the Golden Dragon King Bloodline.

Whether their meeting and love had been arranged by the Plane Master was a question that deserved a very large question mark.

"Do you have a place to stay in the human world? If not, I can take you to see where we're staying."

After explaining some of her circumstances, Gu Yue Na asked Chen An for his opinion.

She showed considerable respect toward this dragon whose Bloodline was no weaker than her own.

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, they had gained a certain amount of wealth by selling mineral metals.

They had acquired a residence in the human world, which served as their foothold.

The Star Dou Great Forest was now confined by the Spirit Pagoda, making entry and exit inconvenient.

They could not possibly travel back and forth often, so having a foothold made things much more convenient.

"A place to stay..." Chen An's thoughts were interrupted. His heart tightened as images of his home surfaced in his mind.

He inadvertently thought of his family and hurriedly shook his head, forcing those memories down.

Continuing to wallow in grief was a waste of time. Rather than that, he might as well work hard to grow stronger and avenge them as soon as possible.

"Take me to your foothold," Chen An said.

For now, it was better that he did not return to Baiye City, lest he add to his sorrow.

Staying temporarily with Gu Yue Na and the others was not a bad choice. He also needed to keep an eye on this love-struck fool.

"Alright." Gu Yue Na nodded and signaled Di Tian, who immediately opened a Space Channel.

Di Tian of the Black Dragon Clan wielded ultimate darkness, but his attainments in space were also formidable.

In this world, there were very few who dared claim to possess greater spatial attainments than him.

Chen An stared at the swirling silver passage for a while, finding it novel.

He had been in this world for twelve years, yet this was his first time seeing a Space Channel.

Before entering, Chen An did his best to memorize this place so that he could come back to pay his respects in the future.

He slowly followed Gu Yue Na into the Space Channel and vanished from the area.

Di Tian entered afterward, and once he did, the Space Channel disappeared as well.

The hillside became empty. The wind howled past, leaving the place cold and desolate.

Gu Yue Na and the others' foothold was fifty or sixty kilometers from this hillside, located in a medium-sized city.

They had purchased a private estate in that city to live in.

By selling the underground mineral resources of the Star Dou Great Forest, they had accumulated considerable wealth.

A Space Channel appeared somewhere within the estate. Chen An and Gu Yue Na emerged first, with Di Tian following close behind.

Chen An looked around. Seeing how drastically the surroundings had changed, he could not help but marvel at the wonder of spatial travel.

"There are several other ferocious beasts living in this estate, but I sent them out on missions, so they aren't here right now."

"When they return, I'll introduce you to them," Gu Yue Na said.

"Mm." Chen An did not ask much. He could more or less guess who those ferocious beasts were.

Seeing that Chen An was clearly in a poor mood, Gu Yue Na did not say much more.

She led Chen An to an empty room and let him rest.

Chen An thanked her, then entered the room alone.

Gu Yue Na and Di Tian left, speaking quietly along the way.

"My Lord, what do you think of this Chen An?" Di Tian asked meaningfully.

Gu Yue Na glanced at Di Tian and understood what he meant. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I am certain that he is a soul beast, and that is the key reason why I have treated him kindly."

"Although he is not a soul beast from the Star Dou Great Forest, he is still one of our kind."

"As long as he is sincerely willing to help us, he is one of us."

"You must get along with him as harmoniously as possible. Do not reject him simply because he comes from a different habitat."

"I would not dare," Di Tian said respectfully.

"However, you must keep an eye on him as well. We need to make sure his heart does not lean toward humans."

Gu Yue Na's tone shifted as she spoke, maintaining the necessary caution toward Chen An.

Though they were both soul beasts, absolute trust was impossible between them.

Especially when this soul beast had lived in the human world for more than ten years.

She could not be sure whether he had already developed mature human emotions and become attached to humans.

Part of the reason for this concern was that she herself had developed some human emotions.

Moreover, twenty thousand years ago, a transformed soul beast had completely sided with humanity.

Ten thousand years ago, the Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest had died because she fell in love with a human.

Gu Yue Na did not want such examples to happen again. They had to be prevented.

"Yes." Di Tian nodded. That was what he had wanted to say as well. They could not trust Chen An too much.

"I wonder what exactly happened to Chen An to make his Bloodline mutate into something so powerful."

Deep in thought, Gu Yue Na returned to her room, her mind filled with matters concerning Chen An's Bloodline.

In the spacious room, Chen An sat on the floor with his back against the bed, staring blankly into space.

He sat there for a long time before his eyes gradually regained focus.

He raised both hands in turn, trying to circulate the Soul Power within his body into his right hand.

The muscles in his right hand tightened, and gray scales slowly emerged across the surface of his skin.

The scales looked like metal, hard in texture and gleaming with a clear luster. They were extraordinary.

Yet they gave off an aura of death, adding a touch of cold gloom to them.

His gaze focused on his palm, but the expected Martial Soul phantom did not appear.

He also tried looking behind him, but there was no Martial Soul phantom there either.

"I have Soul Power, but no Martial Soul..." Chen An frowned slightly.

As far as he remembered, such a situation had never occurred before. Could it be a Body Spirit?

As he pondered, his right arm had already become covered in dense scales.

His five fingers turned into dragon claws, and his entire arm swelled several times larger, hard and powerful.

"How could a Body Spirit undergo dragonification? Don't tell me my body itself is a dragon?"

Chen An shook his head, dismissing the Body Spirit theory, but soon froze.

"A dragon... Gu Yue Na and the others mistook me for a soul beast because I turned into a giant dragon earlier, didn't they?"

"I haven't reached the seventh ring realm and cannot use Martial Soul Avatar, yet I can transform into a dragon."

"That's highly abnormal. Could I be like Tang Wulin, with the origin of some dragon sealed inside my body?"

"Or perhaps some power was awakened after I came back to life?" Chen An's mind raced with countless possibilities.

First chapter of the day. Please vote with monthly tickets, save this novel, and vote with recommendation tickets.

For every day that monthly tickets exceed ten—excluding the six monthly tickets automatically granted by the update system—I will add an extra chapter. If recommendation tickets exceed fifty, I will also add an extra chapter. If saves exceed two hundred, I will add another extra chapter. I mean what I say. I hope everyone will support me, so we can encourage one another.

Yesterday, there was one monthly ticket, over twenty recommendation tickets, and over forty saves, so there will be no extra chapter today.

Everyone can cast more recommendation tickets. At the moment, that seems to be the easiest requirement for an extra chapter. You can also try monthly tickets. Two have already been cast today, so only eight more are needed.
