Jealous Gu Yuena

Gu Yuena's personality stems from her complex background and experiences.

She was proud of her supreme bloodline and status as the Silver Dragon King and the ruler of Soul Beast, and regarded all living beings as ants; however, due to her experience of being banished from the Divine Realm as a split entity after the defeat of the Dragon God, she harbored unspeakable inferiority and resentment deep in her heart.

At this moment, the two emotions of being injured by a human Soul Master, whom they had always regarded as lowly insects, through such a "despicable" scheme were simultaneously ignited, turning into a raging fire of anger and humiliation!

What horrified her even more was that the toxin was extremely strange and domineering, actually able to corrode her powerful Dragon Clan physique! Her skin, contaminated by the poisonous mist, quickly turned an ominous dark green, and was even forced to reveal her original dragon scales in an attempt to resist. However, those originally shimmering, rounded, beautiful silver dragon scales were now covered with a layer of murky green, their edges corroded and pitted, and some scales had even loosened and fallen off!

For Gu Yuena, who values her own perfection and dignity, this is not only an injury, but also a desecration!

"Humans, you—you deserve to die!" Her amethyst eyes burned with icy killing intent, her gaze like the sharpest knife, fixed on the Spirit Hall Empire fleet below.

The surrounding space distorted, and the seven basic elements of earth, fire, water, wind, light, darkness, and space began to converge wildly, like an impending apocalyptic catastrophe. The terrifying pressure made the entire space heavy and oppressive!

She intends to wipe these fleets, along with all the humans on them, completely from this world!

However, just as she was gathering her strength, and the Elemental Storm was about to take shape—

"Sizzle!"

With a soft sound, the space to her side was easily torn open like a piece of cloth. A figure dressed in a white and gold Pope robe stepped out leisurely. It was Qian Xunji, who had torn through space to rush over after receiving Tian Yue's urgent message.

He first glanced with interest at the battle below, which was basically over, and at the ashen-faced remnants of the Sea God Mountain, his gaze lingering for a moment on Bo Saixi.

Then, he turned his gaze to Gu Yuena, who was on the verge of exploding and whose elements were in disarray, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

No wonder Cai Wenji's cooperation with the Ferocious Beast of the Lake of Life went so smoothly, encountering almost no significant resistance...

Qian Xunji thought to himself, "So it's you, the one in charge, who's not home, but you've come here to meddle in other people's business."

Seeing Gu Yuena's slightly disheveled appearance due to anger and poison, and the earth-shattering elemental fluctuations around her, Qian Xunji knew he could no longer stand by and watch.

Just before the Elemental Storm that Gu Yuena had gathered was about to unleash, Qian Xunji casually raised his hand.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, only a condensed golden light that emerged from his palm, like Sea God, gently pointing into the center of the raging elemental turbulence.

"Buzz--!"

The seven elements, which were originally restless and nearly out of control, seemed to have met their natural nemesis and instantly became docile and calm! Gu Yuena's angry attack was so easily neutralized!

Gu Yuena's pupils constricted as she looked at Qian Xunji in disbelief. From this human, she sensed an unprecedented threat; his energy level even seemed to surpass hers!

"Who are you?!" she demanded sharply.

Qian Xunji did not answer; instead, she was met with an even more ferocious attack!

The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle, with golden and silver light colliding wildly in the air. Space shattered and then healed repeatedly, and the residual energy caused the sea below to surge with waves hundreds of meters high!

Although Gu Yuena was strong, she was already injured and had been poisoned by a strange toxin, which greatly reduced her strength. Qian Xunji's power, on the other hand, seemed unfathomable, and his moves were even more unpredictable and bizarre.

After a Qian Xunji released the sea.

Gu Yuena glared hatefully at Qian Xunji, then glanced at the battlefield below where the outcome was already decided. Finally, she gritted her teeth, tore through space, and fled the sea in a sorry state, covered in wounds and humiliation.

Qian Xunji successfully released the sea, indifferently watching the spatial ripples after she disappeared. He turned around and looked down at the people of Sea God Island who had lost all hope.

"Clean up the battlefield," he ordered indifferently. "Capture those from Sea God Island who can be captured alive to be used as labor or research material. Those who resist stubbornly... kill them without mercy."

Following his command, the elite Soul Master of the Spirit Hall Empire surged into Sea God Mountain like a tidal wave. The island, once a holy land for overseas Soul Master and a symbol of the Sea God's faith, met its final fate at this moment.

········································

Looking at Bo Saixi, who was bound by specially made chains and brought before her, a barely perceptible trace of regret flashed in Qian Xunji's golden eyes.

His first thought was: So, that old fox Qian Daoliu is still holding back because of old friendships?

My second thought was: Could it be that this Bo Saixi was cowardly and feigning death in battle, not actually fighting with all his might?

What happened to the saying, "As long as Sea God Island exists, people live; if Sea God Island perishes, people perish"? If a level 99 Peak Douluo, empowered by the Sea God Divine Power, truly had the will to die, burned his divine soul and Martial Soul, and unleashed his full power in a desperate battle, there would be absolutely no way he could be captured so "completely" alive.

However, when his gaze met Bo Saixi's eyes, which were once majestic but were now empty and lifeless, yet deep within them struggled a faint, instinctive yearning for life, Qian Xunji instantly understood.

Humans are truly contradictory and laughable creatures.

She wanted to die, for her faith and dignity, to perish with Sea God Island, and to end her long and burdened life.

She wanted to live; it was the most primal instinct of life, a fear of the unknown death...

When faced with the critical moment, they were torn between the resolute determination to "die for their cause" and the instinct to "survive," ultimately failing to achieve a glorious death or to live a peaceful life, ending up in a wretched state of broken heart and disoriented soul.

"In this respect, you are far less as straightforward as that old fellow Qian Daoliu," Qian Xunji thought with a cold sneer.

Qian Daoliu may be stubborn and conservative, but his determination to sacrifice himself without hesitation for the sake of inheritance and belief is clear.

However, being able to capture a Peak Douluo without shedding blood is still something to be "slightly happy" about.

A living Bo Saixi with divine powers is far more valuable for research and a greater blow to the Sea God belief system than a corpse.

··························

At the same time, Gu Yuena staggered and landed behind a reef, her silver hair disheveled, blood still lingering at the corner of her mouth, and the dark green marks on her arms, corroded by the poisonous fog, still stubbornly present.

She clutched her chest, the excruciating pain there pale in comparison to the confusion and horror she felt.

Although she does not hold a formal divine position, as an avatar of the Dragon God, her level of life and the essence of her power are comparable to those of a deity!

In the mortal realm, she should be invincible! Even if Qian Xunji is the heir to the divine throne and possesses divine power, he has never become a god. How could he defeat her so easily?

Gu Yuena was certain that she had not held back at all; in fact, after being ambushed and injured, she was truly enraged and attacked without any mercy.

"Why... why did I lose to a human?" she murmured to herself, her purple eyes filled with confusion and a hint of fear that she herself was unwilling to admit.

Qian Xunji's pure and domineering power, and his posture that seemed to control all rules, reminded her of the oppressive feeling she had when facing the God Realm Committee.

The injuries and toxins in her body constantly reminded her of her dire condition. Gu Yuena gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressing the humiliation and doubt.

"Healing must be done as soon as possible... Lake of Life..."

At this moment, she finally remembered her old lair, located in the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, a place brimming with the richest life energy. Only by returning there and drawing upon the power of the Lake of Life could she quickly expel the strange toxins and recover from her injuries.

She took a deep breath, tore through space once more, and struggled to escape towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

········································

Ten days after the black flag with gold patterns of the Spirit Hall Empire flew over Sea God Island, an inconspicuous little sailboat, like a fallen leaf drifting with the current, floated far away towards this island that had already changed hands.

The figure standing at the bow of the ship was none other than Tang San. When he saw the glaring banner of the Spirit Hall Empire on the island and the Soul Master patrolling the port in their Spirit Hall Empire uniforms, the last glimmer of light in his eyes was completely extinguished, leaving only a deathly emptiness.

The last glimmer of hope ultimately vanished.

Sea God Island... also lost.

He didn't even consider bringing the boat ashore. Without a word, Tang San, like a slippery fish, silently flipped over and leaped into the icy seawater, disappearing instantly beneath the surface.

Having been hunted by the Spirit Hall for so long, he knew their methods all too well. The ship's sudden appearance near the already blockaded Sea God Island would inevitably subject it to rigorous scrutiny.

His face, which was likely already on the wanted list, and the aura of a Fallen Soul Master emanating from him, couldn't withstand any scrutiny.

He descended into the water, enveloped by the icy seawater. His experience and instincts as Sea God in his previous life allowed him to move and breathe freely even in deep dives.

Like a shadowy figure, he lurked underwater for an extremely long distance until he was certain that he had completely left the patrol range of the Spirit Hall Empire, before quietly surfacing in waters far from the shipping lanes.

Using the properties of his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, he quickly cultivated the resilient Blue Silver Grass, weaving it into a simple yet large boat capable of carrying him. Exhausted, he climbed onto the lone boat, letting it drift on the vast ocean.

Sitting on the swaying Blue Silver Grass boat, Tang San's eyes were no longer empty, but were gradually replaced by a kind of complete madness and obsession.

The path of the Sea God's Nine Trials has been completely severed with the fall of Sea God Island.

He was left with only one path: to go all the way down.

"The divine test set by the Rakshasa God... I must complete it!" Tang San murmured.

Six-Winged Angel...

········································

Divine Realm, Sea God Temple.

The phantom of Poseidon, the Sea God, gazed at the brief but thrilling battle in the mortal realm. When he saw Gu Yuena severely wounded and fleeing from Qian Xunji, he fell into a long silence and deep contemplation.

Even though Gu Yuena was injured, even though she was poisoned by that strange toxin, she was still the Silver Dragon King, half of the Dragon God. Her level of life and the essence of her power were far beyond what ordinary people, even common priests, could achieve. A lower-realm god's successor, no matter how talented, could never defeat her so decisively, unless...

This Qian Xunji has a serious problem!

Without the slightest hesitation, the Sea God God's divine thought caused him to vanish from the temple and reappear in the chilling and desolate Asura God Temple.

He succinctly recounted to the Asura God everything that had just happened in the lower realm, especially the clearly abnormal power displayed by Qian Xunji.

Upon hearing this, the Asura God's crimson eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the murderous aura surrounding him froze. He said in a deep voice, "I have long suspected that this boy's divine power has an unusual origin, and it is definitely not from any known divine lineage. Now that even the Silver Dragon King has been defeated by him, it further confirms this."

After a moment's thought, he made a guess that made even the Sea God's heart skip a beat:

"I suspect that his Godhood Inheritance did not come from us, but from... those fallen dragon kings."

"Judging from his skillful and profound use of spatial power, even to the point of easily tearing and stabilizing space, suppressing Gu Yuena's spatial talent... his inheritance most likely comes from that Space Dragon King!"

The moment this deduction was made, the atmosphere inside the temple instantly plummeted to freezing point.

The Space Dragon King was a supreme being under the command of the Dragon God, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Time Dragon King! It was their combined betrayal that severely injured the Dragon God, laying the foundation for the victory of the Divine Realm. His strength was undoubtedly at the God-King level!

Ironically, although the Space Dragon King has perished, his core legacy has not been obtained by any existing deity.

The current Space God in the Divine Realm is merely a First-Level God, controlling only a superficial understanding of the laws of space. The ones who truly benefited most from the Dragon God War and ascended to the position of God-King were the deities who inherited the four divine attributes of life, destruction, God of Evil, and Goddess of Kindness, as well as the Asura God wields the Asura Divine Sword to exercise judgment and slaughter.

"If he truly obtained the complete inheritance of the Space Dragon King ..." the Sea God's voice was slightly hoarse, "Then he would be yet another potential God-King level threat!"

The Asura God's face was gloomy as he tried again to forcefully interfere with Douluo Star with his divine sense, but the world barrier that had become exceptionally strong once again repelled his power without mercy.

"Hmph! Douluo Star has slipped out of our control, and the dimensional barrier has inexplicably strengthened... I now suspect that behind all this, it's probably those remnants who are behind it all! The plan to control the Silver Dragon King to influence those remnants has completely failed." The Asura God withdrew his hand, his tone filled with suppressed anger and a hint of barely perceptible apprehension.

Chapter 271 Gu Yuena's Jealousy

The "remnants" mentioned by the Asura God naturally refer to those who survived the great war or those who were born over the long years and inherited the bloodline and will of the Dragon Clan.

But soon, a new question arose in the mind of the Asura God.

The standards for choosing a master for their lineage must be unimaginably stringent, especially for top-tier beings like the Space Dragon King Dragon Clan, who are extremely proud.

How exactly did Qian Xunji, a human, gain its recognition and inherit its power? What price did he pay, or did he use some unknown means?

This thought made the Asura God's eyes grow even colder. If it was indeed the latter, then Qian Xunji's level of danger would rise another level.

Regarding whether to make Qian Xunji's abnormality public, Asura God initially preferred to keep it a secret.

The Divine Realm may appear to be a unified entity, but in reality, it is riddled with internal factions. The four great god-kings of life, destruction, Goddess of Kindness, and God of Evil check and balance each other, and their divine duties are in conflict. The First-Level God and Second-Level God under them also have their own factions, and their open and covert struggles never cease. Sharing such important information could easily be exploited by some gods with ulterior motives, potentially alerting them or causing unnecessary chaos.

But then he thought that he was about to relinquish his divine position, pass on the divine power of the Asura God to Kai, and then transcend.
