Hu Liena's tears fell like pearls from a broken string, sliding down her charming, alluring cheeks.
She was completely immersed in her imagination, offering her sincerest sympathy to the Silver Dragon King she had never met.
Bibi Dong watched her beloved disciple, her brows knitting even tighter.
She raised her well-maintained jade-like hand and gently patted Hu Liena's fragrant shoulder, her voice carrying a trace of cool authority.
"Nana, put away those worthless tears."
"Now isn't the time to be moved."
Bibi Dong turned her gaze back to the Sky Screen, dangerous light flickering in her deep phoenix eyes.
"A being worthy of having a rare treasure listed separately by the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking, a being known as the Co-lord of Soul Beasts..."
"Her strength absolutely cannot be underestimated."
"The value of this tear is even more immeasurable."
She paused, her tone growing increasingly grave.
"Restored to her peak... Divine Skill, 'Dragon God Transformation'..."
"Every one of these terms is enough to stir up a bloody storm across the continent."
"This Gu Yuena will become a huge variable in our plan to unify the continent."
Qian Renxue, seated nearby, had golden light suddenly burst from her beautiful eyes when she heard the words "Deity."
What she had inherited was precisely the Angel God's divine position.
She understood better than anyone what a Deity represented.
They were the God Realm's true top combat power, beings who set the rules and looked down upon all living things!
And this tear could actually allow someone to directly recover to that realm?
This was simply unheard of!
Deep within the distant Star Dou Great Forest.
By the Lake of Life.
Completely unlike the solemnity at Jialing Pass and the shock at Shrek Academy, this place had already become a boiling ocean!
Countless powerful Soul Beasts threw back their heads and roared, venting the excitement and ecstasy that had been bottled up in their hearts for tens of thousands of years.
"Roar—!"
Xiong Jun, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, rose upright with his enormous body, his huge bear paws frantically pounding his solid chest and producing muffled booms like war drums.
His eyes were wide open as he stared fixedly at the Golden Characters on the Sky Screen.
"Strength restored to its full peak!!"
"My heavens! Master can return to her peak!"
The wrinkled old face of Myriad Monster King was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum, while his massive roots whipped excitedly across the ground.
"Wonderful! This is truly wonderful! If Master returns to her peak, why should our Soul Beast Clan fear those human Deities!"
Bi Ji, the Jade Swan, was so excited that she covered her mouth with her wings, tears glimmering in her emerald eyes.
Master had slept for too long and borne far too much.
Now, at last, the dawn of revival had arrived!
However, when their gazes continued downward and they saw the final reward, the clamor around the Lake of Life instantly froze.
All roars and all cheers came to an abrupt halt at that moment.
Dead silence.
A dead silence so complete that a pin dropping could be heard.
The next second, a frenzy ten times, a hundred times more violent than before erupted with a deafening roar!
"Dragon... Dragon God Transformation?!"
Beast God Ditian, this Soul Beast ruler who had lived for nearly nine hundred thousand years, trembled violently. Unprecedented light burst from his golden dragon eyes.
His voice became hoarse and shrill from overwhelming excitement, completely losing its usual steadiness.
"It is Lord Dragon God's cultivation method! It is Lord Dragon God's 'Dragon God Transformation'!"
"What?!"
Xiong Jun, Myriad Monster King, Bi Ji, and the other Fierce beasts had their pupils suddenly contract. They all turned toward Di Tian at once, their breathing quickening.
Dragon God!
That was the supreme name engraved in the deepest reaches of every Soul Beast's bloodline!
He was once the pride of their Soul Beast Clan, the supreme God King who ruled over countless worlds!
Di Tian took a deep breath and did his utmost to calm his turbulent emotions, but his voice still trembled.
"You simply do not understand what 'Dragon God Transformation' means!"
"Why did Lord Dragon God fall in the God Realm war back then?"
"It was not because he was not strong enough! On the contrary, it was because he was too strong!"
"So strong that even when the Five Great God Kings of the God Realm, led by the Asura God, joined forces with every Rank One Deity in the entire God Realm Committee, they still could not do anything to him!"
Di Tian's voice echoed beside every Soul Beast's ears, unveiling a mythic secret buried by time.
"In that battle, the God Realm was smashed until heaven and earth collapsed, Sun Moon Lightless! If Lord Dragon God had not ultimately grown disheartened, tired of the endless war, and chosen to end his own life, the final victor could only have been our Dragon Clan!"
"And the 'Dragon God Transformation' was Lord Dragon God's ultimate, hidden cultivation method! It was the strongest path he had comprehended from among countless laws!"
Boom!
It was as though a nuclear bomb had exploded in the minds of every Soul Beast.
They had only known that the Dragon God was powerful. They had never known that he had been powerful to such an extent!
The entire God Realm could not defeat him alone?
What terrifying divine might was that!
Di Tian was so excited that the scales all over his body trembled. He abruptly turned around, dropped to one knee toward that peerless beauty at the center of the lake, and roared himself hoarse.
"Master!"
"With this cultivation method, our Soul Beast Clan will definitely return to the God Realm once more!"
"The blood debt those despicable human Deities owe us will ultimately be repaid a hundredfold!"
"The Soul Beast Clan will surely rise again!"
"Rise again! Rise again! Rise again!"
Every Soul Beast erupted. They roared and vented with all their strength, and the entire Star Dou Great Forest trembled beneath the terrifying waves of sound.
Yet at the center of this frenzy, on Lake Heart Island in the Lake of Life.
Gu Yuena merely stood there quietly.
There was indeed a trace of joy on her peerless face, but there was even more unshakable desolation and loneliness.
She lifted her slender jade-like hand, drawing in the gentle golden light descending from the Sky Screen.
She could feel the divine power within her, once depleted, recovering and surging at a terrifying speed.
The profound meaning of the Dragon God Transformation cultivation method was also deeply imprinted upon her soul like a brand.
She had indeed become more powerful than she had ever been before.
But...
Gu Yuena let out a soft sigh, her voice seeming to carry endless melancholy.
"So what if I can be invincible?"
"The rest of my life without you is truly too boring."
Her gaze fell upon the final reward.
All attributes increased by fifty percent, stamina doubled...
When Gu Yuena saw the words "stamina doubled," her delicate body trembled almost imperceptibly. A complicated, indescribable shimmer of tears appeared in those violet eyes capable of toppling all beings.
Scene after scene, long buried in the dust of memory, surfaced in her mind uncontrollably.
On those nights of wild passion, he had always been like a tireless beast, pushing her to her limits again and again.
In the end, she was always the first to give out, pleading softly for mercy.
She had even complained that, despite being a God, her stamina was inferior to that of a single Mortal.
He had merely laughed and said that it was his pride as her husband.
