Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Gu Yuena’s past is revealed: born as the Silver Dragon King, she carried the mission of reviving the dwindling Soul Beast race. She sealed her power, entered the human world, and lost her memories.
• While wandering as a human, she met Tang Wulin, who rescued her and named her Na’er. They shared a simple, affectionate childhood together.
• After recovering her memories, Gu Yuena struggled between her duty to the Soul Beasts and her love for Tang Wulin. To preserve her resolve, she separated her emotions and part of her power, creating the independent personality Na’er.
• Gu Yuena later extracted Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King bloodline and killed the Abyssal Sage King, believing she was moving closer to restoring the Soul Beast race.
• She ultimately fought Situ Xuan in a decisive battle. Though she accepted the fairness of her defeat, she died knowing that she had fulfilled her identity and purpose as the Silver Dragon King.
• As Gu Yuena’s consciousness faded, she recognized her true self and entered eternal slumber. The entire Abyss Plane then collapsed, destroying the passage between the planes.
• Outside the passage, Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts waited anxiously, only to see Situ Xuan emerge alone. The passage sealed shut, confirming that Gu Yuena had perished.
• The Soul Beasts were devastated. Di Tian collapsed to his knees, while Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, King of Ten Thousand Monsters, and Zi Ji were left grieving and directionless.
• Situ Xuan approached them and declared that Gu Yue—his name for Gu Yuena—was dead, then demanded that they follow him.
• When Di Tian angrily objected that Situ Xuan had killed their master, Situ Xuan called Gu Yuena his “closest friend,” arguing that only worthy opponents could die by each other’s hands.
• He offered the Soul Beasts a new future: instead of struggling to survive in Star Dou Forest, they could follow him to conquer other worlds and establish places where their race could thrive.
