The Silver Dragon King's Pact, Gu Yue: I Want It All

Chapter 25: The Pact of the Silver Dragon King's Half-Body, Gu Yue: I Want It All (4K)

The afternoon sun poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows, dividing the room into a battlefield of light and shadow. Tiny specks of light danced on the rosewood floor as two young women stared at each other, their gazes colliding and clashing in the air, sparks flying.

Gu Yue leaned against the marble long table, her figure slender and graceful. Her ink-black hair cascaded to her waist, her expression calm and indifferent.

On the other side, Na'er was nestled in a red velvet sofa, bathed in a waterfall of light. She crossed her long legs, her hair shimmering with silver luster, her delicate collarbones filled with the golden glow of dawn, making one dizzy.

Gu Yue and Na'er occupied opposite sides, the sunlight outlining their beautiful, freehand lines. The stark contrast between black and silver-white was like the eternally opposing poles of yin and yang.

The dust motes floating in the air suddenly froze. Gu Yue chuckled lightly, her voice like ice, "Didn't you want to talk to me? Why are you silent now that we're here?"

The hostility in her tone was so obvious that even a three-year-old could easily sense it. Na'er, however, was unfazed. She tilted her head, her green hair flowing like water, and said slowly, "I've recalled some memories, memories that should belong to the Silver Dragon King... or, to put it bluntly, to you, the Silver Dragon King's main personality.

The memories are so long, tens of thousands of years at least. Although they don't seem to have any practical value, ever since I was defeated and ended up in the Star Dou Great Forest, I've spent most of my time sleeping and healing. It hasn't been as good and happy as my past four years."

As soon as she said this, Gu Yue's breathing became heavy, like a broken bellows, as she suppressed her intense emotional fluctuations. She said coldly, "You are one of the Silver Dragon King's half-bodies. We share those memories. It's not surprising that you've recalled them now.

Through the Silver Dragon King's memories, you've witnessed the entire history of the Star Dou Great Forest's decline. You saw the fierce beasts leading the soul beast clan in a desperate resistance, but ultimately failed to turn the tide. Under humanity's soul guidance technology, they were pushed back step by step.

The outer and mixed zones have long since fallen. Only the core zone and the Lake of Life remain in the Star Dou Great Forest. Humans built a high wall, ostensibly to protect the remaining soul beast seeds, but in reality, to raise soul beasts. When the time is right, they will ruthlessly charge into the Star Dou Great Forest and turn all soul beasts into soul spirits!

Na'er, we are both half-bodies of the Silver Dragon King, the co-lord of the soul beast clan! Humans are fierce and wicked, greedy as demons. We have a responsibility to lead the soul beasts out of this quagmire and launch a war of revenge against humanity!"

Hearing this, Na'er raised an eyebrow and stared at Gu Yue, her eyes clouded with deep darkness. She tugged at the corner of her lips and sneered, "The soul beast clan is in decline, and you want revenge. The first thing you'll do is devour me and transform into the complete Silver Dragon King.

Putting aside whether you can achieve your goal and successfully take revenge, I will definitely die. All my abilities and soul will become part of you. To you, I am just a tool to be sacrificed at will."

Gu Yue looked at Na'er, her brow furrowed even tighter. "Your birth was an accident. You took away thirty percent of my power and the Silver Dragon Spear. I'm merely correcting the chaos and returning to the right track. We were originally one..."

"No!"

Na'er interrupted coldly, her expression blank. "We are different. You are the Silver Dragon King, the co-lord of soul beasts, while I am a human with flesh and blood!"

"Human?"

Gu Yue froze for a second, her expression twisting slightly. "A half-body of the Silver Dragon King doesn't acknowledge soul beasts, yet you acknowledge your sworn enemy, humans... Na'er, you truly open my eyes."

"Why can't I acknowledge humans?" Na'er asked earnestly.

"The Silver Dragon King and humans, in the beginning, were just children who descended upon this world.

When we split, we encountered spatial turbulence. The Ten Thousand Demon King pursued me relentlessly, determined to capture me and merge me back with you. If not for the many Titled Douluo in Shrek City, and if I hadn't coincidentally met Zhao Xuanzhen and Aunt Leng, I would no longer exist.

Humans gave me a home, gave me meticulous care, taught me to distinguish good from evil, and to know gains and losses. Zhao Xuanzhen, Aunt Leng, Big White Sister, Little White Sister... they like me very much, and I like them very much. I am willing to do anything to protect our home.

Gu Yue, I recalled the Silver Dragon King's memories, so what?

When memories appear before my eyes, it's like being immersed in a dream. That is not reality. When I wake up, I am still me, not the Silver Dragon King, the co-lord of soul beasts!"

"Shut up!"

This sentence undoubtedly touched Gu Yue's bottom line. Extreme rage erupted, and a dazzling purple light flickered deep within her dark pupils. The bloodline aura of the Silver Dragon King pressed down on Na'er!

"Who's afraid of you!"

Na'er refused to back down. As the shadow of her eyelashes swept across her lower eyelids, her silver-white eyes flashed with boiling purple light, the Silver Dragon King's bloodline activated!

Purple eyes against purple eyes. The water droplets on the tender tips of the green plants in the room reflected a double, distorted image. The moment their gazes intertwined, the prism hanging by the window refracted a brilliant rainbow light.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sound of the ocean waves could be faintly heard. The yin and yang totem formed by two perfect bodies became clearer in the light and shadow. The battle of the Silver Dragon King's half-bodies made even the sunlight tremble uneasily.

"Enough."

Gu Yue snorted coldly, the magnificent purple receding. Her pupils slowly returned to their clear black. She spoke, "So, are you telling me that from now on, you will stand on the side of humanity and be my enemy, the enemy of the soul beast clan?"

"Whether we are enemies or not does not depend on me; it depends on your choices," Na'er said, also retracting her purple light, and spoke solemnly, "Gu Yue, I won't beat around the bush. I'll lay my cards on the table with you.

I don't know your ultimate goal in joining the Spirit Transmission Tower. To be honest, I don't want to be in the same environment as you, but Zhao Xuanzhen and Aunt Leng agreed to this, and I can't change it.

I'll only ask you one thing: in your plan, what is the fate of the Spirit Transmission Tower? What will happen to Zhao Xuanzhen and Aunt Leng?"

"If I want to take revenge on humanity, I must first understand humanity. That's why I joined the Spirit Transmission Tower. As for the two people you mentioned, if they block the path of revenge for the soul beast clan, I will kill them without hesitation!"

"Gu Yue, if you cross the line, don't blame me for disregarding our relationship. There is only one Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, but humanity has double-digit Extreme Douluo!" Na'er said coldly.

"According to you, you intend to expose my identity to the Douluo Continent?" Gu Yue crossed her arms, her snow-white chin slightly raised. "Can you remain unscathed by acting this way, as the other half-body of the Silver Dragon King?

Na'er, remember my advice: once a soul beast, always a soul beast!

No matter how much you identify as human in your heart, the blood flowing in your veins cannot be washed away! There's an old saying in humanity: those who are not of our kind will have different hearts. What if your identity as a half-body of the Silver Dragon King is exposed? What choices do you think the people you love will make?

Soul ring, soul bone, soul spirit... which ending do you prefer?"

Na'er's lips moved, as if she were biting her tongue, unwilling to admit everything in those words.

Gu Yue gracefully took a few steps, approaching Na'er. Their faces slowly drew closer, black and silver-white meeting again. "A mutual destruction is the worst outcome. Let's make a pact now.

I will not harm the humans you cherish, Zhao Xuanzhen and the others. Even if I launch a race war, I will let them live in the end. And you are not allowed to expose my identity, nor are you allowed to interfere with my actions in the Spirit Transmission Tower. You will honestly be a spectator."

Na'er pondered for a long time, then added, "Add one more condition: I want absolute freedom. You will no longer try to devour me and become the complete Silver Dragon King."

"...Are you dreaming?"

Gu Yue's brow furrowed, her face clearly showing that this woman was pushing her luck!

If I don't become the Silver Dragon King, what's the point of all this?!

To constantly see thirty percent of my power and the innate divine artifact dangling in front of me, what's the difference between this and the protagonist of Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai yearning for the senpai he can't have?

Gu Yue watched Na'er, who almost spoke but stopped herself, and Na'er suddenly became smug. "I almost forgot, now that you have humanity, you can't devour me at all. If I'm not willing, even if you forcibly merge, my soul and body will crack due to my resistance. Not only will you not become the Silver Dragon King, but you might even suffer a mental breakdown."

Gu Yue clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white. Her face showed the embarrassment of having her thoughts exposed. In another timeline, she had planned to make Na'er willing to merge and become a complete Silver Dragon King. They had even made a bet: Gu Yue would disguise herself with ordinary features and approach Tang Wulin, making him fall in love with her.

Now, Gu Yue faced the same dilemma. This Na'er was more difficult to deal with, relying on her humanity and the backing of the Spirit Transmission Tower's higher-ups. She dared to fight for her interests and see things through to the end.

"Na'er, how about we make a bet..." Gu Yue prepared to use her old trick.

"No listening, no listening!" As soon as she heard the word "bet," Na'er quickly covered her ears, shaking her head left and right with the speed of a rattle drum. "Do you think I'm stupid? I'm not stupid at all! Zhao Xuanzhen emphasized to me years ago that only a stupid pig would make bets. Those with capital should force their opponents to back down! Anyway, I don't care. If you hurt Zhao Xuanzhen and Aunt Leng, I'll reveal both our identities to the outside world. You'll wait for your plan to shatter and be hunted by all the Extreme Douluo on the Douluo Continent! If you forcibly devour me, I'll self-destruct my soul. The two halves of the Silver Dragon King will go to hell together!"

Na'er was being completely unreasonable. Gu Yue was so angry her eyes spewed fire, and she gnashed her teeth. Who raised this unlucky child! Suppressing the urge to strangle Na'er, Gu Yue gritted her teeth and said, "The previously agreed-upon conditions still stand. The supplementary condition is that I won't attempt to devour you until I recover to the Extreme Douluo level. This is my greatest sincerity. If I said I'd let you go forever, I doubt even you would believe me."

"A gentleman's word!" Na'er raised a hand. Gu Yue reluctantly extended hers.

"Slap, slap, slap!" Three claps sealed the deal!

After a back-and-forth exchange, the two halves of the Silver Dragon King finally reached an agreement, each holding their ground and maintaining a temporary peace. Gu Yue's eyes were deep and changed several times. Possessing seventy percent of the Silver Dragon King's power, she was a sure bet to become an Extreme Douluo in the future. Na'er's impact was to break through the plane's shackles and achieve godhood, which wasn't an urgent matter. Therefore, she relaxed the timeline, dedicating more energy to infiltrating the Spirit Transmission Tower and carrying out her revenge plan.

The tense atmosphere gradually eased. Na'er poked Gu Yue's side, her face full of curiosity. "A couple of days ago at the Spirit Ascension Platform in East Sea City, the black-haired boy next to you seemed to carry the aura of the Golden Dragon King. How long have you been at the academy that you haven't stripped his bloodline? It doesn't fit your cold-blooded personality!"

The Golden and Silver Dragon Kings were mutually attracted. Tang Wulin had already broken through the first layer of his seal and possessed a Golden Dragon Claw at that time, so Na'er could naturally sense that aura.

"Do you think I don't want to take it!" Gu Yue impatiently pushed Na'er away. This girl was hitting a sore spot. Because Tang Wulin had cheated and called his dad to fight for him, Di Tian, Bear Monarch, and other fierce beasts were severely injured and were still lying in the Star Dou Great Forest. Furthermore, Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline had inexplicably degenerated within a day. She was already frustrated!

With the Golden Dragon King bloodline degenerating, the Silver Dragon King's thirty percent power out of reach, bearing the racial blood feud, a large number of Star Dou fierce beasts injured, and being choked by someone after entering the Spirit Transmission Tower... For a moment, Gu Yue lamented that there was no soul beast in the world more miserable than her!

"Oh dear, so what if there's no Golden Dragon King!" Na'er said indifferently. "At worst, you can be human with me and live happily every day. Aunt Leng has planned it out: Zhao Xuanzhen, you, and I are the future Trident who will share hardships and joys. The three of us living well is more important than anything!"

"Impossible! The blood feud between soul beasts and humans must be avenged!" Gu Yue's Dao heart was firm.

Na'er pouted. A faint light flashed beneath her silver eyes. Zhao Xuanzhen could restrain Gu Yue's elemental control. As long as the two halves of the Silver Dragon King didn't merge, Gu Yue couldn't become a god and would be suppressed by Zhao Xuanzhen, unable to cause much trouble. At that time, she would use all sorts of cooing and charming tactics to trick Zhao Xuanzhen into restraining Gu Yue, and then she would dominate Gu Yue. She would see who was the real boss!

"I'm not talking anymore. Aunt Leng needs me for something. Remember our agreement!" Before leaving, Na'er reminded Gu Yue.

After Na'er's figure disappeared, Gu Yue suddenly broke into a smile, a hint of coldness seeping into it. "Only a fool would abandon racial hatred and live with humans... We are both Silver Dragon Kings. Playing mind games with me is useless. You want to buy yourself time to develop, but you don't realize that the agreement is just an excuse for me, something I can tear up at any time... I can't wait to become an Extreme Douluo. The sooner I devour you, the better! Na'er, humans are indeed emotional and can understand many feelings that soul beasts cannot touch, but humanity is not as rational and indifferent as beast nature. You are too impatient and have exposed your weakness. The humans you love are your fatal flaw. If they abandon you, your humanity will naturally collapse, leading to despair. That will be the best time for me to devour you. Zhao Xuanzhen, Zhao Xuanzhen... mentioning his name fills your eyes with pride and affection. He must be the most important person in your heart, and the human who has influenced you the most, the core of your humanity... Coincidentally, Zhao Xuanzhen is my only examiner. My promotion in the Spirit Transmission Tower, and all future access to the core secrets of the Spirit Transmission Tower, will require his support. Childhood sweethearts... what a word that evokes endless imagination. It can mean anything, or nothing! Talent, appearance, benefits, emotions... As long as I surpass you in all aspects, Zhao Xuanzhen will resolutely abandon you and choose me instead! Humans are selfish, and everyone in the world is the same!"

Gu Yue's eyes burned with ambition. She clenched her fists tightly and turned towards the conference room where Zhao Xuanzhen had been. "Zhao Xuanzhen, the Spirit Transmission Tower, and you... I want it all!"
