[The protagonist halo is working its magic! Otherwise, with Zhou's personality, which can't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, if Huo Yuhao wasn't expelled, I'd write my name backward!]

[Forget it, let's just end today's diary entry here.]

As the final sentence of the diary appeared, the system's notification sound suddenly rang out in the mind of Ao Yao.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a day of diary entries. Rewards are being distributed randomly...]

[Ding—Congratulations to the host for receiving the following rewards: Soul Power increased by one rank, all Soul Ring ages increased by 1,000 years, precious Soul Tool crafting material Star Silver Ore, and rare material Phantom Light Crystal.]

[Rewards have been distributed.]

Feeling the iron ore and that crystal-clear crystal added to his Storage Soul Tool, Ao Yao couldn't help but curl his lip.

Compared to previous rewards, this one didn't trigger a critical hit, and the rewards were undoubtedly much inferior. The increase in Soul Power and Soul Ring age didn't mean much to him; it was barely better than nothing. As for the two Soul Tool crafting materials, they were even more useless.

He had no intention of becoming a Soul Tool master.

With the effort it takes to craft Soul Tools, wouldn't it be better to go listen to some music?

However... since it was produced by the system, the quality of these two crafting materials was naturally guaranteed. Even if he didn't want to become a Soul Tool master, he could simply put these materials up for auction if he had no use for them.

He believed that those Soul Tool masters who weren't short on money would never be stingy with their Gold Soul Coins.

Although he wasn't short on money, who would complain about having too much of it?

[Today's diary entry has ended. The system is calculating...]

[Congratulations to Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena for appearing most frequently in the diary. Reward received: 50% recovery of her own injuries, 1% increase in peak strength. Rewards are being distributed... Rewards have been distributed.]

[Today's group chat activity is insufficient; no Water Spraying Dragon King was generated. Please continue your efforts, group members.]

Gu Yuena, who had originally been feeling resentful because of the diary's content, suddenly stiffened, and a look of wild joy immediately surged onto her face.

Before she could even react, a gentle yet exceptionally vigorous life force suddenly appeared around her body, and a peaceful emerald green luster quickly spread across her skin.

Enveloped in this emerald light, Gu Yuena felt that her body had never been more comfortable, and her injuries were healing at an incredibly exaggerated speed!

Gu Yuena was completely immersed in this sudden surprise. At this moment, her eyes were tightly closed, and a look of intoxication appeared on her face involuntarily.

Her injuries originated from the Dragon God. Years ago, the Dragon God was split in two by the Asura God's sword, dividing into the Silver Dragon King and the Golden Dragon King. The Golden Dragon King was suppressed in the God Realm, while she had escaped to the Douluo Continent through the space barrier with fatal wounds, her soul shattered and her physical body on the verge of collapse.

For many years, she had been sleeping at the bottom of the Lake of Life, silently nursing her body, occasionally communicating with Di Tian through a faint consciousness.

If not for the appearance of this diary, she might still be in a state of slumber.

Years of recuperation had allowed her terrifying injuries to heal significantly, but to fully recover, it would take at least another ten thousand years. Previously, because she harbored malicious thoughts toward Ao Yao, the punishment from the diary had extended this time even further.

But now, the reward she received from the diary not only completely repaired the damage from the previous punishment, but even her own injuries had healed significantly! Even the damage to her soul had been mostly mended!

How could this not make Gu Yuena feel pleasantly surprised?

Moreover, besides the reward of improved injuries, the other reward was even more straightforward and brutal!

As the supreme Silver Dragon King, she didn't need the other rewards described in the diary. Soul Rings, cultivation years, Soul Bones... she didn't need any of them, and she even scoffed at the godhoods that others dreamed of.

This was also the reason why, although she found the diary particularly magical, she had never had any other thoughts about it.

Ultimately, it was because she believed the diary's help to her was truly limited.

But healing injuries, increasing strength... these rewards captured all of her needs!

Although this 1% increase in strength sounded small, the advantage was that her peak strength volume was massive. Even a small amount like 1% was a huge improvement and help to her.

Of course, there was an even more important point—her enemies and the enemies of the soul beasts had never been these humans on the Douluo Continent, but the gods of the God Realm.

Even the powerful Dragon God had fallen under the siege of the gods, and for her, a "fake" who had only inherited a portion of the Dragon God's power, it would be even more arduous to fight against the God Realm.

The reward the diary gave her this time truly allowed her to feel a glimmer of hope.

She seemed to have already seen a bright future for the soul beasts!

And what she had to do was to firmly grasp this bright and beautiful future!

The emerald green light gradually dissipated, and Gu Yuena's slightly heavy breathing also gradually returned to calm.

She suddenly opened her dragon eyes, and a sharp glint flashed within them. The previous decadence was swept away, replaced by a powerful majesty and aura.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion huddled in a corner, watching Gu Yuena's changes with some trepidation.

Only now did she truly realize Gu Yuena's terrifying strength.

With such strength, it was no wonder Di Tian placed all his expectations on her...

However, the seed of doubt had long been planted in the heart of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion—she had long since determined that her master was unreliable. Even though she had now displayed an aura and majesty that made her feel terrified, her opinion would never change!

Outside the Lake of Life, Di Tian suddenly raised his head, a trace of surprise and astonishment flashing in his eyes.

Such an unusual performance immediately attracted the attention of Xiong Jun nearby.

He raised his eyelids, leaned against a nearby ancient tree, and moved lazily.

Is Di Tian acting all jumpy again? What kind of madness is he trying to pull?

Although Xiong Jun appeared indifferent, in reality, his brain had already begun to spin wildly, and one guess after another emerged in his heart.

Yet, for every guess that rose in his mind, he struck it down just as quickly.

"My Lord... I can sense that the aura of my Lord has changed significantly! Perhaps, the time until my Lord truly recovers is not far off!"

Di Tian could not help but take a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to dive to the bottom of the Lake of Life to investigate, his indifferent golden eyes then falling upon Xiong Jun.

He was, of course, well aware that Xiong Jun was full of petty schemes, but he could not be bothered to pay them any mind.

As long as Xiong Jun did not interfere with my Lord, he could do whatever he pleased.

Once my Lord truly recovered, Xiong Jun's strength might even prove to be of great use.
