Gu Yuena nodded, but didn't say much more.
Her identity had already been exposed, so it was normal for Zhongli to know about the Dragon God.
"The Douluo Continent is the closest to the God Realm. Due to the war known as the Dragon God War, divine blood was spilled..."
Zhongli's voice carried the weight of history, making Gu Yuena feel as if she had returned to those ancient times.
Back then, she had faced the gods immediately after her birth and was injured by Asura, forcing her to flee.
This memory was truly unforgettable for her.
"This is how Soul Beasts came to be."
"Soul Beast is just a general term, not the name of a single Soul Beast."
"It's like Demon Gods. Although they are all Demon Gods, they attack each other. Only a few Demon Gods form alliances."
Zhongli stated calmly, without any personal emotion. This was simply the truth.
Gu Yuena's face turned pale, her brows furrowed, and even her silver hair seemed to have dimmed a little.
She recalled the internecine strife within the Star Dou Great Forest, which was even more severe than humans slaughtering Soul Beasts.
Humans killed Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings.
Under normal circumstances, humans would not enter the Star Dou Great Forest.
But conflicts among Soul Beasts happened every day.
Cats eat fish, dogs eat meat...
Just as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King said, it was just hungry and eating.
Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts preyed on Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts preyed on Thousand-Year and Hundred-Year Soul Beasts.
Even some plant-type Soul Beasts would devour other Soul Beasts. Otherwise, how could the Myriad Demon King have been born?
The relationship between Soul Beasts was irreconcilable; it was a law of nature.
Let alone different species, even Soul Beasts of the same species would sometimes act this way.
True unity within the Soul Beast community was impossible.
"The Dragon God placed a curse on all Soul Beasts. Until a new Dragon God appears, Soul Beasts cannot Become a God."
"This is a good thing for humans."
Zhongli said with a calm expression, as if he were discussing a trivial matter.
Moreover, this matter had nothing to do with him.
If it's none of my business, I'll stay out of it...
"?"
Gu Yuena, hearing this, was filled with questions and looked at Zhongli in confusion.
The Dragon God had placed a curse on all Soul Beasts?
She, who had inherited all of the Dragon God's wisdom, had no such memory.
Why would the Dragon God do such a thing?
She had always thought that the Heavenly Tribulation for Soul Beasts to break through was jointly set by the God King of the God Realm.
She never expected that the one who did this would actually be the Dragon God!
Zhongli had no reason to lie to her. People at their level disdained to lie... unless it was part of some scheme.
Gu Yuena glanced at the Sky Screen that was currently playing, then withdrew her gaze.
"Personally, I don't have any particular opinion about the Soul Beast Clan."
Zhongli shook his head and said frankly.
They were a race destined for tragedy. Even without humans, their fate wouldn't have been much better.
Given this, what other opinion could he have?
Douluo Continent was a very magical place. Most Soul Beasts here had the potential to become Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
Years did not represent age, but their lifespans were indeed very long.
And yet, after living for so long, they remained very weak!
It was a pity that over their long lives, they had not "evolved" like Immortals.
The gods in this world were different from the gods on Teyvat Continent. They did not guide Soul Beasts, nor did they interfere with human development.
Except for a few who always "broke the law they knew."
Gu Yuena was silent for a long time, her gaze returning to Zhongli.
She believed that the Dragon God must have had a reason for doing so.
Therefore, she did not blame the Dragon God.
After all, the Dragon God was her father. How could she blame him after hearing just a few words from an outsider?
"As for the humans of this world..."
Zhongli waved his hand, saying indifferently.
"They are not my subjects, nor is this Liyue."
"I am merely a passerby."
Sky Screen Footage, Golden House.
In the magnificent hall, the giant "Immortal Ancestor's Molted Body" lay coiled.
Even though it had been "dead" for a long time, it still exuded an imposing aura.
"If I didn't know the plot, I would really think this was the Geo Archon..."
"By the way, is the true form of Lord Emperor really a snake-like dragon?"
This question immediately sparked discussion among the people.
The dragons on Douluo Continent were almost all "big lizard" shaped.
Some soul beasts with low Dragon Race bloodlines, sub-dragons, were not true dragons but were still very powerful.
The Geo Archon's "Immortal Ancestor's Molted Body," however, was a snake-like dragon.
If not for the dragon horns on its head and the eagle-like claws on its abdomen, they wouldn't have known it was a dragon at all!
It was truly topsy-turvy, but this was indeed how it was on Douluo Continent.
As soon as the screen switched, all sentient beings saw Chang Wei hitting...
Childe knocked the blonde girl to the ground. She let out a muffled groan, falling heavily onto the hard floor.
Paimon's eyes widened in panic, and she cried out.
"Ah!"
Her little face turned pale with fright. She nervously flew to the Traveler's side, her small hands trembling as she tried to help the Traveler up.
"Traveler, Traveler, are you alright?"
"That must have hurt a lot, right?"
"Damn Childe, damn Tartaglia, Paimon is going to give you an ugly nickname!"
"Let's call you Dada Duck!!"
Douluo Star.
"Isn't that Childe? Why is he fighting the Traveler?"
"When he first appeared, I felt he wasn't a good person. Strangers' sudden concern, it was bound to have ulterior motives!"
"Childe looks quite upright, how could he be like this?"
Tartaglia wore a mask, with purple arcs of electricity flashing around him, making him look quite terrifying.
"Not bad, your swordsmanship is indeed interesting."
"But, that's all there is to it."
Tartaglia brandished his weapon, and after saying this, he charged towards the Blonde Girl.
At the critical moment!!
The camera suddenly shifted. In the distance stood a "Youth" with blonde hair, who clenched his fist but ultimately did not step forward.
His appearance and clothing were very similar to the Blonde Girl's, but their expressions were different.
One was naive and ignorant, while the other was cold and stern.
The Blonde Youth stared intently at Tartaglia, thinking about something unknown.
Just then, the Blonde Girl got up. She extended her right hand, and a green light appeared in her hand, forming a vortex. She used this to block Tartaglia's attack.
After a brief standoff, the Blonde Girl suddenly retreated, and countless amber-colored thorns rapidly rose from the ground.
When she stabilized her stance, only a purple short spear remained at the point of confrontation. Tartaglia had already appeared before the "Immortal Ancestor's Molted Body."
Under the bewildered gazes of the Sentient Beings, Tartaglia's hand, flashing with purple light, aimed at the "Immortal Ancestor's Molted Body's" chest and stabbed down.
"So... Morax's Heart of the God..."
"I shall take..."
