A Promise with Gu Yuena, the Snow Empress's Hesitation

"My god, I'm not human!"

Looking at Xiong Jun in the Sky Curtain, Gu Tian's mouth twitched. He spat out two words: "Serves you right!"

He now strongly agreed with what his other self had done in a different timeline.

Such a blunt idiot deserved a good lesson.

Upon seeing the silver-haired girl who had transformed from the Silver Dragon King, a flicker of admiration flashed in Gu Tian's eyes, and his mood brightened considerably.

Gu Yuena was officially recognized as the most beautiful woman in Douluo.

Her looks, her figure, her demeanor – they were indeed impeccable!

The only flaw, perhaps, was inheriting the "heaven-shattering wisdom" of that great genius, the Dragon God.

Honestly, the "heaven-shattering wisdom" inherited by the Silver Dragon King was worse than that of the Golden Dragon King!

The Golden Dragon King didn't inherit the Dragon God's wisdom, so he was smart.

It's just that, due to the need to suppress negative emotions, he was prone to rage, leading to a lack of reason, which made him seem like a brute.

But at least, the Golden Dragon King's track record spoke for itself.

And the Silver Dragon King?

It could only be said that she was playing house the entire time.

Being toyed with in the palm of Tang San's hand.

Unlike Gu Tian, the people around him wore worried expressions.

"I didn't expect such a powerful being to be hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"The Silver Dragon King, one of the Dragon God's two avatars!"

"Even the Beast God Di Tian submitted to the Silver Dragon King; one can imagine how powerful she is."

"Fortunately, if the Soul Beasts were to launch a counterattack, Shrek would be the first to bear the brunt, giving us enough time to prepare!"

"Let's hope everything goes smoothly in the Sky Curtain!"

"As long as there's hope for peaceful coexistence between humans and Soul Beasts, anything is negotiable."

"That's right, we might even be able to bring them to our side ahead of time."

"In a sense, Soul Beasts are much more reliable than humans!"

Discussions like these erupted all around.

It was completely out of character for these Titled Douluo.

However, this was perfectly normal!

A being of the Silver Dragon King's caliber.

For humans at this current stage, she was simply too insurmountable.

Even without knowing that the Silver Dragon King possessed half-step God King combat power, the mere fact that she was one of the Dragon God's avatars was enough to explain a lot.

If it were the Dragon King Legend or Ultimate Douluo eras, the situation might be completely different.

Although the Silver Dragon King's half-step God King strength would still be top-tier, humans back then wouldn't be as utterly defenseless as they were now.

And as for the Silver Dragon King's current situation, Gu Tian was naturally well aware of it.

She was still heavily injured and wouldn't make any moves for a considerable time.

Of course, Gu Tian didn't speak up to remind them.

There was absolutely no need for it.

Moreover, using this matter to divert some of the attention from himself.

For Gu Tian, there were no downsides, only benefits.

At the very least, he could relax a lot.

"Na'er, calling her so intimately."

Xu Yun suddenly looked at Gu Tian with suspicion: "Is she another one of your old flames?"

As soon as she said this, Xu Jiujiu, who had also been worried, subconsciously glanced at Gu Tian out of the corner of her eye.

Gu Tian seemed to sense it and turned to look at the sisters Xu Jiujiu and Xu Yun, his eyes showing no sign of guilt.

Nonsense, everything that had just been broadcast in the Sky Curtain.

At most, it only showed that he knew Gu Yuena; whether they had a relationship was another matter.

Besides, that was something his future self had done.

What did it have to do with his current self?

This wasn't shirking responsibility.

The moment the Sky Curtain appeared, the original future had already vanished.

Of course, it's also possible it transformed into another timeline.

Strictly speaking, they are the same person and yet not the same person.

"What is this method you speak of for humans and Soul Beasts to coexist peacefully?"

Gu Yuena glanced at Gu Tian, her pink lips parting slightly.

"Na'er, you should still remember the promise we made before, right?"

Gu Tian didn't answer Gu Yuena's question immediately, instead posing a counter-question.

"..."

Gu Yuena remained silent, merely gazing at Gu Tian with calm eyes.

"I promised you that in the not-too-distant future, I would end all of this."

Looking at Gu Yuena, Gu Tian said with a serious expression.

"So what is this method you speak of?"

Gu Yuena's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she asked again, "And you want me to gather them all here."

"The method I speak of is Soul Spirits."

As soon as he finished speaking, a charming figure appeared beside Gu Tian.

A head of pure white long hair cascaded down her back to her feet. Her sky-blue eyes were ethereal and clear, as if they could see through everything in the world.

Her slender, delicate body was flawless. Her white long dress, though lacking any adornment, made her appear so noble and beautiful.

"This is... the Heavenly Snow Woman!" Gu Yuena's eyebrows rose slightly, a hint of astonishment flashing across her pretty face.

She was naturally surprised not by the appearance of the Heavenly Snow Woman, but by her current state.

"Your Majesty Silver Dragon King, it's a pleasure to meet you. As you can see, I am currently in the state of a Soul Spirit!"

The Snow Empress was clearly displeased at being suddenly summoned and used as evidence. After glaring at Gu Tian, she bowed respectfully to Gu Yuena.

Although this was their first meeting, the Silver Dragon King was, after all, the second Lord of Soul Beasts after the Dragon God, so the respect due to her had to be given.

"Na'er, what do you think? As long as Soul Spirits are popularized and I manage them, peaceful coexistence between humans and Soul Beasts will no longer be a dream."

Gu Tian looked up and met Gu Yuena's beautiful purple eyes. "Don't forget the bet between us!"

"Talk about it when you've actually fulfilled your original promise!"

Hearing this, a faint blush crept onto Gu Yuena's exquisite face, and she said somewhat irritably.

The extreme north, with snowflakes dancing wildly in the sky.

Looking at herself in the image, having become a Soul Spirit, the Snow Empress's delicate face flushed slightly.

She had mocked the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm for his million years of cultivation being wasted on a human, only to find herself in a similar predicament.

"What happened in the future that made me willingly become a human's Soul Spirit?"

A pensive expression appeared on the Snow Empress's peerlessly beautiful face. "Could it be that my 700,000-year tribulation failed?"

"If it failed, I should have been reduced to ashes by now."

After a moment, she shook her head, dismissing this guess. "How could I have had the chance to become a human's Soul Spirit?"

As the third-ranked among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, the Heavenly Snow Woman was only one step away from cultivating to 700,000 years, possibly within the next two or three years.

To increase her chances of surviving this heavenly tribulation, she had even planned to take the risk of condensing a Yin-Yang complementary Soul Core.

"Could it be that I ultimately failed?"

The Snow Empress's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she hesitated for a moment.

She was well aware that the consequence of failing to condense a Yin-Yang complementary Soul Core was severe damage to her own origin.
