Gu Yue's Guess

Na'er had returned to the Inner Court, and now that their relationship had just been established, she was at her clingiest.

But Yun Ming's summons for Ling Luo left her no choice but to part with him temporarily, however reluctantly.

She returned to her own small courtyard.

As the two of them gradually grew older, they had each been assigned a private courtyard of their own.

Na'er, whose long-cherished wish had finally been fulfilled, waved her little hand and skipped lightly as she opened the door.

Yet a graceful figure was already sitting quietly waiting on the living room sofa.

"Gu Yue, why did you come over?"

Na'er froze.

Gu Yue, seated on the sofa, looked utterly unlike the cheerful Na'er of today.

Her expression carried a trace of gloom.

In her excellent mood, Na'er unusually had no desire to bicker with Gu Yue.

She skipped over and sat on the sofa opposite Gu Yue, looking at her with the gaze one might give a defeated dog.

"Hey, did you get the Golden Dragon King's bloodline human?"

At the mention of this subject, Gu Yue's already gloomy face darkened further.

She shook her head slightly. "It failed."

"It failed?" Na'er was stunned.

"Didn't you have Di Tian do it?"

"Could that human brat have some remarkable background?"

Na'er was puzzled.

What kind of existence was Di Tian?

In terms of cultivation alone, he was already at the absolute peak of the mortal world.

Even among those human Limit Douluos with Four-word Battle Armor, few could rival Di Tian, who had mastered the ultimate technique of the Dragon God Claw.

Only a peak expert like Yun Ming, equipped with Four-word Battle Armor, could probably suppress Di Tian.

And Di Tian had actually failed against a human brat at the Soul Grandmaster level?

Other than the possibility that the boy possessed a powerful background, with at least a Limit Douluo-level Four-word Battle Armor Master protecting him, Na'er could think of no other reason Di Tian could have failed.

"Mm." Gu Yue nodded.

There really was?

Na'er was startled, then asked curiously,

"Which Limit Douluo was it?"

"Sky Overlord Douluo, or one of Tang Sect's two Limit Douluos?"

"Neither." Gu Yue shook her head grimly.

Hearing that, Na'er became even more confused.

If it was none of them, then who could it be?

It couldn't possibly have been the Spirit Pagoda's Limit Douluo, could it?

"It was Tang San."

The person Gu Yue named next was someone Na'er had never expected.

"Tang San?!" Na'er's beautiful eyes widened.

"Hasn't the God Realm already lost contact with Douluo Continent? How could Tang San still interfere?"

"Could you have gotten it wrong?"

Gu Yue took a deep breath and shook her head. "Impossible."

"According to Di Tian's account, he had already found the human Tang Wulin you mentioned and was preparing to take him away."

"But then a trident mark suddenly appeared on that human's forehead."

"Right afterward, a strange energy not only stopped Di Tian from acting, but also inflicted considerable damage on him."

"I examined Di Tian's injuries. That was undeniably genuine God-level power—the Sea God's power."

"There can be no mistake. The method that stopped Di Tian definitely came from Tang San!"

Gu Yue was utterly certain.

Her strength was far below what it had once been, but her Spiritual Power and insight remained intact.

As the Silver Dragon King who had participated in the God Realm war, Gu Yue was absolutely certain she could not mistake that vast, ocean-like divine aura.

It had to be the power of the Sea Godhood!

And since the previous Sea God had already passed on his position, that power could only have come from Tang San.

"But why could Tang San still affect Douluo Continent? And why would his power appear on a human with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline?"

Na'er was utterly baffled.

Her little head could not process it all at once.

Unlike Na'er, who was rather simple-minded, Gu Yue had clearly already figured out far more.

Her Red Lips parted as she slowly voiced her guess.

"Most likely, that fellow called Tang Wulin is Tang San's descendant."

A sharp glint flashed through Gu Yue's violet eyes.

"When I first heard you say that you had sensed the Golden Dragon King's bloodline in a human, I already found it strange."

"How could the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, which should have been trapped in the God Realm, appear in a human?"

"Only after Di Tian's operation failed, after hearing his account and sensing the aura of his injuries, did I finally understand everything."

Gu Yue spoke with confidence.

"The God Realm lost contact with Douluo Continent because an accident occurred—one that even the gods could not resist."

"And amid that accident, the Golden Dragon King may have found an opportunity to break its seal, though it did not escape completely."

"So, in retaliation, it poured the essence of its entire life into the relative of the chief culprit who had prevented its escape, attempting to make him explode and die."

"Tang San used some method to temporarily seal the Golden Dragon King's essence, but the God Realm's Immortal Spirit Qi could stir that power and cause it to break through the seal."

"So he placed his descendant, Tang Wulin, on Douluo Continent, and because of the changes in the God Realm, he left behind safeguards in advance to protect him."

"That is probably why all this happened."

Gu Yue truly was the embodiment of the Dragon God's wisdom.

Even though she had been recovering from her injuries and did not know what exactly had happened in the God Realm, she had still pieced together most of the truth from these clues.

Na'er nodded vaguely.

"So, the methods Tang San left behind must be limited. If we make a few more attempts, won't we be able to deal with him?"

Gu Yue looked at Na'er as though she could not stand her foolishness.

Sometimes, she truly wondered whether Na'er was really her split soul.

"A few more attempts?"

"Do you think Tang San would fail to consider something so obvious?"

"Besides the power hidden within Tang Wulin, he must have other measures in place."

"Over these years in the Spirit Pagoda, I learned about certain matters and historical records concerning another plane."

"That plane's connection to Douluo Continent was filled with coincidences."

"So I dare say that Tang San definitely has another contingency on this continent."

"For the time being, we cannot act."

Gu Yue let out a long sigh.

"The Soul Beast Clan can no longer afford the cost of trial and error."

"The original plan remains the safest."

As she said that, Gu Yue's expression turned gloomy.

Over the past three years, her mentality had long changed from the certainty of victory she had felt at the beginning to her current helplessness.

Without deliberately doing anything, Qian Gu Dongfeng of the Spirit Pagoda had become completely infatuated with her.

When she had deliberately approached Ling Luo to win him over, his progress bar had remained stagnant.

Hearing this, Na'er revealed a smug smile.

She rose to her feet, walked over, and gently patted Gu Yue's shoulder.

She spoke earnestly.

"Little Yue, some things still have to rely on your Sister Na'er."

Gu Yue shot her a cold glance. Some people were truly becoming more and more smug and forgetting their place—Dao Fan Tiangang.
