By then, it was already evening outside the window. The lingering glow of the setting sun slowly faded, and night descended with it.
The contemplation in her eyes gradually turned vacant, and her mind relaxed along with it, as though nothing mattered that much anymore.
At that moment, Gu Yue also realized that she felt somewhat lost and confused. It seemed she had never been this relaxed before.
After descending from the God Realm, she had been healing beneath the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, while Di Tian's people guarded her outside.
It was not until recently that she had fully recovered. Then, after witnessing the decline of the Soul Beast race, she had split herself in two in order to destroy humanity and restore the Soul Beasts' prosperity, infiltrating human society to understand them before ultimately destroying them.
To achieve this goal, she had taken a human Titled Douluo as her master. Over all these years, she had never relaxed for even a moment.
Throughout this process, she had come to understand humanity's strengths and the Soul Beasts' weaknesses. Although humans' lifespans were not even one ten-thousandth of those of Soul Beasts, they possessed something unique—something Soul Beasts could never have: the ability to learn.
Because humans could learn, they could pass down their knowledge and develop new knowledge. Day after day, year after year, humanity had eventually surpassed the Soul Beasts.
Although Soul Beasts possessed lifespans far beyond those of humans, they only gained intelligence after ten thousand years and only possessed wisdom comparable to an adult's after Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation. While this gave them lifespans far exceeding humanity's, it also deprived them of the ability to learn.
In their eyes, as long as they lived long enough, they would gain power far beyond that
