"My god, that's not a person!"
Watching Xiong Jun in the Sky Curtain, Gu Tian's mouth twitched. He spat out two words: "Serves him right!"
He now thoroughly agreed with what his other self had done on the alternate timeline.
A fool with no filter like that deserved a good lesson.
When he saw the Silver-Haired Girl who had transformed from the Silver Dragon King, a flicker of admiration crossed Gu Tian's eyes, and his mood improved considerably.
Gu Yuena was officially recognized as the most beautiful woman in Douluo.
Her looks, figure, and bearing were all flawless!
Her only flaw was probably that she had inherited the Dragon God's "astonishing wisdom."
Honestly, the Silver Dragon King's "astonishing wisdom" was even worse than the Golden Dragon King's!
The Golden Dragon King hadn't inherited the Dragon God's wisdom, so he was smart.
He just had to suppress his negative emotions, which made him prone to fits of rage and caused him to lose his reason. That was why he seemed like a reckless brute.
At least the Golden Dragon King had the feats to back him up.
But the Silver Dragon King?
She'd spent the whole time playing house.
Tang San had completely manipulated her.
Unlike Gu Tian, the faces of those around him were all clouded with worry.
"I never imagined that such a powerful being was hiding in the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"The Silver Dragon King is one of the Dragon God's two avatars!"
Even Beast God Di Tian had submitted to the Silver Dragon King. That alone showed how powerful she was.
"Fortunately, if the Soul Beasts really do launch a counterattack, Shrek will be the first to bear the brunt. We'll have plenty of time to prepare!"
"Let's hope everything goes smoothly in the Sky Curtain!"
"As long as there's hope for humans and Soul Beasts to live together in peace, everything else can be worked out."
"Exactly. We might even be able to bring them over to our side ahead of time."
"In some ways, Soul Beasts are much more reliable than humans!"
Discussions like these rang out all around them.
It was hardly the sort of talk one would expect from a group of Titled Douluo.
But that was only natural!
The Silver Dragon King was an existence on an entirely different level.
To humans in this era, she was simply impossible to deal with.
Even without knowing that the Silver Dragon King possessed power on the level of a half-step God King, the fact that she was one of the Dragon God's two avatars was enough to say plenty.
If this had happened during the eras of Legend of the Dragon King or Ultimate Douluo, the situation might have been completely different.
The Silver Dragon King's half-step God King strength still would have put her at the very top, but humanity wouldn't have been as utterly helpless as it was now.
Gu Tian knew exactly what the Silver Dragon King's situation was, too.
She was still seriously injured and wouldn't make a move anytime soon.
Of course, Gu Tian didn't point that out.
There was no need.
And using this matter to draw some attention away from himself could only benefit Gu Tian.
At the very least, it would let him relax a little.
"Na'er? You sound awfully familiar with her."
Xu Yun suddenly gave Gu Tian a suspicious look. "Don't tell me she's another old flame of yours."
At this, Xu Jiujiu, who had also been somewhat worried, instinctively glanced at Gu Tian out of the corner of her eye.
As if sensing it, Gu Tian turned to look at Xu Jiujiu and Xu Yun. He showed no sign of guilt.
Come on. Everything the Sky Curtain had just shown only proved that he and Gu Yuena knew each other. Whether there was anything between them was still an open question.
Besides, that was something his future self had done.
What did it have to do with him now?
He wasn't just shirking responsibility.
From the moment the Sky Curtain appeared, the original future had already vanished.
Of course, it might have become another timeline instead.
Strictly speaking, they were the same person, and yet they weren't.
"What is this method you mentioned for helping humans and Soul Beasts coexist in peace?"
Gu Yuena looked at Gu Tian, her pink lips parting slightly.
"Na'er, do you still remember the promise we made?"
Gu Tian didn't answer Gu Yuena's question right away. Instead, he turned it back on her.
"..."
Gu Yuena said nothing, merely looking at Gu Tian with a calm gaze.
"I promised you that I'd put an end to all of this in the not-too-distant future."
Gu Tian looked at Gu Yuena, his expression serious.
"So what's the method you're talking about?"
Gu Yuena's brows knit slightly as she asked again, "You even had me summon them all here."
"The method I'm talking about is Soul Spirits."
As soon as he finished speaking, a petite figure appeared beside Gu Tian.
Her long, pure-white hair fell all the way down her back to her feet. Her sky-blue eyes were clear and ethereal, as if they could see through everything in the world.
Her slender figure was flawless. Though her white dress was entirely unadorned, it gave her an air of purity and breathtaking beauty.
"This is... the Heavenly Snow Woman!" Gu Yuena's brows lifted slightly, a flicker of surprise crossing her lovely face.
What surprised her wasn't the Heavenly Snow Woman's appearance, but her current state.
"Silver Dragon King, it's a pleasure to meet you. As you can see, I'm currently in the form of a Soul Spirit!"
Clearly displeased at having been summoned without warning and used as evidence, Snow Empress shot Gu Tian a glare before bowing to Gu Yuena.
Though this was their first meeting, the Silver Dragon King was the second Lord of Soul Beasts after the Dragon God. She deserved proper respect.
"Na'er, what do you think? If we spread Soul Spirits and I regulate their use, peace between humans and Soul Beasts will be more than a dream."
Gu Tian met Gu Yuena's beautiful purple eyes. "Don't forget the wager between us!"
"Let's talk about it when you've actually fulfilled the promise you made back then."
A faint blush appeared on Gu Yuena's breathtaking face. She answered with exasperation.
In the Extreme North, snowflakes swirled through the air.
Watching herself become a Soul Spirit in the scene, Snow Empress's lovely face turned faintly red.
She'd mocked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm for wasting its million years of cultivation on a human, yet it seemed she hadn't fared much better herself.
"What happened in the future to make me willingly become a human's Soul Spirit?"
A thoughtful look crossed Snow Empress's beautiful face. "Could I have failed my seventy-thousand-year tribulation?"
"If I'd failed, I should have been reduced to ashes by now."
A moment later, she shook her head, dismissing the idea. "How could I have had the chance to become a human's Soul Spirit?"
As the third-ranked of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, the Heavenly Snow Woman was only one step away from reaching seven hundred thousand years of cultivation. It might happen in the next two or three years.
To increase her chances of surviving this Heavenly Tribulation, she had even planned to risk condensing Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Cores.
"Could I really have failed after all?"
Snow Empress's brows furrowed, and she hesitated.
She knew all too well what would happen if she failed to condense Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Cores: her origin would suffer severe damage.
