Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
"Master."
Emperor Tian looked cautiously at the massive figure before him, a hint of confusion flickering in his eyes.
The Qilin had suddenly rushed back to the Lake of Life in a panic, insisting on seeing the master. It had scared Emperor Tian so much that he had almost come to blows with the Red King over the Qilin's antics.
He really couldn't do anything about the Qilin. Emperor Tian was about to call out to his master with a wary heart when, to his shock, the master, who had been in deep slumber, actually woke up!
Could it be that something had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest that he was unaware of?
First, the Qilin had clamored to see the master, and now the master had awakened... At this critical juncture, aside from that century-old Ice Silkworm escaping, nothing else major seemed to have occurred, right?
That Ice Silkworm had been sealed for a hundred years, but regarding its escape, even Emperor Tian felt a bit regretful. However, he wouldn't be overly concerned, and such a matter couldn't possibly have caused the master to awaken.
So... was it the Qilin's problem?
Emperor Tian's heart sank, and his gaze involuntarily fell upon the Qilin.
As the Qilin of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion bore the fate of all soul beasts. If something happened to her, the entire Star Dou Great Forest would be affected, and the consequences would be severe.
But compared to the Qilin, the Ice Silkworm was nothing more than a roadside weed.
The two were simply incomparable.
Gu Yue Nian, who had just ended her deep slumber, opened her mouth as if trying to digest something. From time to time, she would cast her gaze upon the Qilin, making Emperor Tian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion feel uneasy, completely at a loss for what was happening.
After a moment of contemplation, Gu Yue Nian finally spoke:
"That century-old soul beast ran away?"
Hearing this, Emperor Tian's heart jolted slightly. Without even thinking about why she would know, he quickly lowered his head and replied respectfully, "Forgive me, Master. This was my negligence, allowing that beast to escape. I am doing my utmost to search for it. I believe it won't get far."
"No need."
Recalling the contents of the diary, Gu Yue Nian continued, "Don't bother looking for it anymore."
If what that diary said was true, then he would never find that beast. It was destined to become the wisdom soul bone of that person named Mo Yu.
The real problem wasn't the escaped beast, but the Qilin, who had already been targeted by the Sea God Tang San.
Thinking of this, a trace of anger flickered in Gu Yue Nian's massive dragon eyes.
That group of shameless gods in the Divine Realm actually dared to set their sights on the soul beast's fate!
Truly despicable!
Emperor Tian was completely baffled—he could sense his master's anger at this moment, but that anger seemed... not directed at him?
He always felt that since the master had awakened, she had been acting strangely... was it an illusion?
"Leave the Qilin here. You may go."
Emperor Tian did not dare to disobey. Though confused, he slightly bowed and immediately vanished.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Gu Yue Nian with curiosity, her heart equally filled with doubt.
Because the matter of the diary could not be revealed to anyone, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had never clearly stated why she had to see the master. Emperor Tian had only called out to her tentatively.
He never expected the master to actually wake up.
But before she could clarify the matter regarding the Sea God Tang San, the master had taken the initiative to send Emperor Tian away.
Why was the master so eager to keep her here? So strange!
"You... came because of what was recorded in the diary, didn't you?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, both Gu Yue Nian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were stunned.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was utterly shocked that her master could directly mention the existence of the diary. This meant that the master also possessed a copy of the diary!
But... why hadn't she seen the master in the group chat?
Which group was the master in?
And Gu Yue Nian was equally surprised that she had actually been able to speak of the diary's existence—just now, when Emperor Tian was present, she had also tried to mention the diary, but an invisible force had sealed her words, making it impossible to speak.
But this time, she had been able to naturally bring up the diary's existence.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had indeed come because of the diary.
A flicker of understanding passed through Gu Yue Nian's enormous dragon eyes.
The Qilin had never sought her out as proactively as she did today, and coincidentally, she had just seen the diary's contents. If not for that, she wouldn't have guessed that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion also possessed a copy of the diary. This Dragon King was truly decisive.
"I know why you're here..."
As she spoke, Gu Yue Nian paused slightly, unable to help but sigh inwardly again.
That group of dogs in the Divine Realm had never stopped searching for her trail. Once her aura was exposed, the consequences would be endless pursuit. And now, the Qilin, who symbolized the fate of soul beasts, had been targeted by that Sea God Tang San.
When it came to soul beasts, was it destined to end in tragedy?
These thoughts flashed through Gu Yue Nian's mind, and soon she spoke again: "For now, just stay by my side. At the very least, that Sea God Tang San won't be able to lay a hand on you."
"As long as I'm here, his hand won't reach you again."
Staying here, always with the master?
The three-eyed golden ape was somewhat reluctant to give up the freedom to run wild in the Starry Forest, and also reluctant to part with those plump, delicious prey, but without a doubt, its own life was more important.
The three-eyed golden ape did not hesitate at all; its small head instantly nodded downward with force, just like pounding garlic.
Seeing this, Guo Nian likewise nodded, then immediately closed her eyes.
That Daily Record's level was far above hers, even capable of surpassing all the gods of the divine realm, and even the dragon gods of ancient times.
Otherwise, she would never have been able to withstand the Record's restrictions, unable to reveal the existence of the Daily Record.
That Daily Record... or rather, that person named Xiao Ge, could he be the method to break through the Soul Calamity?
The thought had just arisen when it was ruthlessly extinguished by Guo Nian.
The future of the Soul Calamity, the method to break through the Soul Calamity, was in the hands of a mere human?
Preposterous.
However, some of the contents within that Daily Record did indeed give her, the Soul Calamity, a bit of a wake-up call.
Perhaps, she could take that kid named Xiao Ge back and properly interrogate him?
Before Guo Nian could react, a whip-like shadow viciously lashed across her massive body. Even she felt a pain that was difficult to endure.
In an instant, the aura on Guo Nian's towering body swiftly withered away.
Guo Nian reopened her eyes, a hint of fear flickering deep within them.
The three-eyed golden ape had no idea what had happened to Guo Nian; it only felt that the atmosphere had suddenly become terrifyingly strange, so it tentatively opened its mouth and said, "Master also has a Daily Record, so Master should also have that chat group, right? What is Master's nickname? Why haven't I noticed it?"
?!?
I just took a whip for you, and you're concerned about this?
Guo Nian couldn't help but roll her eyes at the three-eyed golden ape, but did not speak.
