The Rakshasa God Skinning the Eight Spider Lances!
As the Silver Dragon King who split off from the Dragon God, she has a mysterious connection with the Dragon God.
Just now, an indescribable, vast will, as boundless as the starry sea, suddenly awakened in an extremely distant place!
That familiar yet more powerful and complete aura sent shivers down her spine.
She possesses fragments of the Dragon God's memories, and because of this, she understands the power and domineering nature of that being better than anyone else.
That was a supreme ruler who once governed all the gods and established an unparalleled divine kingdom!
"He won't let me go..." Gu Yuena curled up, hugging herself tightly.
She had always longed to receive the complete Dragon God's legacy, but not in this way.
Once she merges with the Dragon God in this way, it means the demise of her independent consciousness as "Gu Yuena".
What she wanted was to become the new Dragon God, not to become a part of the Dragon God!
···············································
Standing beside her, Tang San was surrounded by an increasingly dense purplish-black Rakshasa Divine Power, his aura already reaching the level of Titled Douluo.
During this period, under Gu Yuena's guidance and "help," he roamed freely in the depths of this forest, hunting down many high-level Soul Beast. He even obtained Soul Ring that was Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and his strength improved rapidly.
He did not practice the Soul Spirit Contract Method promoted by the Spirit Hall Empire —not because he looked down on it, but because when he tried, no Soul Beast was willing to sign a contract with him, who exuded a corrupt and God of Evil aura. The instinctive resistance of the Soul Beast directly led to the failure of the contract.
However, Tang San didn't care about this. With Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, personally "protecting" him, hunting for a ready-made Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring was more direct and powerful than a Soul Ring with growth potential.
But deep down, he still longed for the selfless sacrifices made by Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming in his previous life.
Even the usually "stingy" Rakshasa God seems to have become much more generous lately, even expending his divine power to help Tang San upgrade and strengthen his External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances. This secretly pleased Tang San.
Just then, Gu Yuena suppressed her fear and told Tang San that the Dragon God might have been resurrected.
"What?! The Dragon God has been resurrected? This is impossible!" Tang San's first reaction was disbelief.
In his previous life as a god-king, he was well aware of the severity of the laws of resurrection.
Reviving mortals or low-ranking priests is something a god-king can manage, but reviving a supreme being like the Dragon God, who once stood at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm, is beyond imagination. Even if the Asura God and other god-kings joined forces, it would be almost impossible for them to do so!
not to mention...
How long has it been since the Dragon God's will descended to summon Gu Yuena?
The speed of this resurrection was eerily fast, terrifyingly fast!
Seeing Gu Yuena nod with absolute certainty, Tang San's good mood, which had just been brought about by his increased strength, vanished instantly, and his face turned extremely ugly.
He had finally regained hope of inheriting the divine position. Although the Rakshasa God's Trial was difficult, it was progressing steadily.
But now, the Dragon God has actually been resurrected, and he could return to the Divine Realm at any time, potentially even affecting Douluo Star!
So what about his desperate attempt to inherit the Rakshasa God Position?
Wouldn't that make me a scapegoat?
Once the Dragon God returns, the first to suffer will be the gods of the Divine Realm. This newly promoted Rakshasa God is basically just waiting to die in the Douluo God Realm!
"No wonder... no wonder Rakshasa God suddenly became so 'generous'..." Tang San gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with rage, "So it was 'payment for risking his life'!"
His gaze fell once more on the unsettled Gu Yuena beside him. A thought, like a venomous snake, slithered through his mind—escape!
He has not yet fully inherited the Rakshasa God Position and is not bound by the Godhood, so theoretically he can leave the Douluo Plane.
Gu Yuena possesses the power of the Silver Dragon King, enough to carry him across the universe in search of a new place to live.
The only obstacle is the possibility of being thwarted by the Rakshasa God.
That evil god will never easily let go of his chosen successor.
Tang San took a deep breath, suppressing his fear of the Dragon God's resurrection, and calmly revealed his long-considered plan to Gu Yuena:
"Na'er, you must be aware of the current situation." He looked intently at Gu Yuena. "The Dragon God has been resurrected, and his momentum is unstoppable. The Divine Realm will be the first to bear the brunt, followed by Douluo Star. If we stay here, we are no different from turtles in a jar, lambs waiting to be slaughtered."
He analyzed in detail, speaking slowly but with an undeniable logic, "The reason the Rakshasa God is suddenly so generous is simply to get us to shield Him from the Dragon God's wrath—a 'life-saving fee.' If we stay and inherit the divine position, we will face the Dragon God's wrath head-on, with no chance of survival."
"On the contrary, if we leave Douluo Star now and escape into the vast universe, with its countless planes and our abilities and potential, we can find a secluded place to develop ourselves in peace. When our strength is sufficient, or when the Dragon God and the Divine Realm are both weakened, then we can make a comeback. That would be the best strategy."
"Temporary forbearance is for a more thorough reckoning in the future. Only by living can there be infinite possibilities."
His words were persuasive, packaging the "escape" as a "strategic shift," a necessary period of dormancy for a greater victory.
He painted a picture of a seemingly bright future.
Gu Yuena listened quietly, her amethyst-like eyes surging with emotion.
Tang San's analysis, rationally speaking, is not flawed. However...
Her lips trembled slightly, and a chilling truth was about to spill out— the Silver Dragon King and the Dragon God were one, and no matter how far apart they were, as long as they were in the same cosmic dimension, there was an unbreakable bond between them. She had nowhere to escape.
This connection is bidirectional. The Dragon God can sense her approximate location, and she can clearly feel the Dragon God's will, which grows ever clearer and more terrifying, like a cosmic beacon. Escape? It would only delay being found, and her movements might even guide the Dragon God in the right direction.
However, when she looked up and met Tang San's eyes, which seemed honest but concealed extreme selfishness and calculation, the words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back.
I can't say.
The memory filter brought by the Life Goddess personality gave her a natural trust and dependence on Tang San, but this did not mean that she had completely lost her judgment. When it came to matters concerning the survival of her own core, her wisdom and vigilance as the Silver Dragon King ultimately prevailed.
She had a keen intuition that if Tang San were to learn this "burdensome" truth, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In fact, given Tang San's selfish and ruthless nature, once he knew this secret, he would never be willing to flee the universe with a "locator" that could expose his whereabouts at any time.
At that point, his actions will likely go beyond simply "abandoning" him.
More likely... he will not hesitate to use any means necessary, such as his unpredictable poison, to control and devour her when she is completely unprepared, and squeeze out the last bit of value she has as the Silver Dragon King —her pure Dragon God Bloodline and divine power core, which may allow his strength to skyrocket!
Gu Yuena lowered her eyelids, concealing the emotions in her eyes, and nodded gently, her voice slightly hoarse. "You're right... Perhaps, leaving is the best choice."
She chose to keep it a secret.
He buried this crucial information, which concerned his greatest secret and his very life, deep in his heart.
Chapter 295 Rakshasa God Skins Eight Spider Lances Alive!
The earth-shattering news of the Dragon God's resurrection did not cause the slightest ripple for the vast majority of ordinary people and low-level Soul Beast on Douluo Star.
Some of them didn't even know who the Dragon God was.
Ironically, the "Star Luo Restoration Organization," which stubbornly survived the suppression of the Spirit Hall Empire, was not ultimately destroyed by the Spirit Hall Empire, but by Tang San, who returned as the "Dragon King."
With the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena as his unwavering and powerful backer, Tang San could practically roam freely across this continent, as long as he didn't actively provoke the core forces of the Spirit Hall Empire or run into those exceptionally powerful "heroes."
He launched a sneak attack while the core fighting force of the Star Luo Restoration Organization — Pei Qinhu and A Ke— had left to complete their divine test, leaving the organization vulnerable.
Under Gu Yuena's dragon might, Tang San slaughtered indiscriminately, and the resistance of the restoration organization quickly collapsed, with its core members almost entirely killed or wounded.
But Tang San still felt a slight unease, as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat—there were still people in this world who knew the secret of his Tang Sect Hidden Weapons blueprints.
After this battle, Tang San and Gu Yuena's "reputation" rose again, and the two were tied for first place on the Spirit Hall Empire's wanted list, with bounties high enough to buy a small kingdom.
And Qian Xunji's dog was the same as always.
He actually recorded the footage of Gu Yuena assisting Tang San in hunting and even devouring the essence of Soul Beast, and then played it on a loop throughout the continent, including the core areas inhabited by Soul Beast such as the Extreme North Icefield and the Star Dou Great Forest!
In the scene, the Silver Dragon King not only failed to protect the Soul Beast, but also became an accomplice of the human executioners, personally suppressing the Soul Beast that wanted to resist Tang San or escape.
The last bit of luck that Gu Yuena possessed, stemming from her status as the ruler of all Soul Beast, completely dissipated after the video was broadcast.
Perhaps it was this dissipation of good fortune that brought about a backlash from the unseen world.
The conversation between Tang San and Gu Yuena about escaping Douluo Star was originally conducted in a highly secretive manner, with Gu Yuena isolating the space between them.
However, fate seemed to have abandoned the two of them— the Rakshasa God, who never idled away his nights observing the sleeping or cultivating divine examinees, happened to glance at them on a whim that night.
That glance happened to reveal Gu Yuena's unusual isolation of space, Rakshasa God immediately used the backup plan he had left on Tang San.
I happened to overhear the entire process of the two discussing their escape.
The Rakshasa God, who always took pleasure in toying with and tormenting others, and viewed all living beings as mere ants and toys, never imagined that he himself would one day be "betrayed" by his toys.
A boundless rage surged within the Rakshasa God's heart.
Even gods are hypocritical. For them, tormenting others is an honor; but if any mortal dares to resist or betray them, they deserve to die!
What's more, she had unusually invested resources in Tang San this time, only to receive such a return? This amplified her anger at the betrayal many times over!
How dare a mere mortal defy the gods?!
In her view, even if she intended to use Tang San as a pawn, abandoning him in the Divine Realm to withstand the Dragon God's wrath, so what? Since he accepted the blessing of the Rakshasa God Position, he should naturally bear the corresponding price and risks! Did this Tang San think he had her cornered, that she wouldn't dare kill him?!
In his rage, a ruthless glint flashed in the Rakshasa God's dark purple eyes.
Suddenly, she remembered her former "backup plan"—Bibi Dong!
When Bibi Dong fell, her soul, due to extreme pain, resentment, and madness, was of extremely high quality, which the Rakshasa God greatly admired. He collected it casually and often took it out to "savor" its intoxicating despair and venom.
She waved her hand, and a surge of dense purple divine power erupted, violently pushing out a woman's soul.
It is the remnant soul of Bibi Dong!
Because her resentment was hard to quell, even after death, her soul remained in a state of madness, emitting silent screams and curses every day. Her once exquisite and graceful face was now filled with gloom and venom, making her look exactly like a vengeful ghost that would devour its prey.
Looking at Bibi Dong's miserable and terrifying soul, and recalling Tang San's attempt to defect, a thought formed in Rakshasa God's mind.
············································
The Rakshasa God acted swiftly.
She would not allow her investment to go down the drain, nor could she tolerate the betrayal of her heir. A plan instantly formed in her mind.
First, she wants to resurrect Bibi Dong. She wants to make this woman, filled with resentment, her sharpest blade, to personally tear apart that traitor Tang San! And she can also inherit her Rakshasa God Position.
Secondly, she wanted to stop the Silver Dragon King from escaping. However, as a First-Level God, she wasn't very confident. She immediately set off and informed the God Realm Committee, headed by the Asura God, of the crucial information that the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, intended to escape the Douluo Plane.
She didn't mention Tang San's betrayal (that was too shameful), but instead focused on the news that Gu Yuena intended to escape Douluo Star.
She knew that for the Asura God, who was eager to find anything that could delay the Dragon God's progress, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena —this half-incarnation of the Dragon God —would be a good choice, whether as a hostage or to buy time.
As expected, after hearing Asura God Rakshasa God's words, a calculating glint flashed in Asura God's cold, blood-red eyes. If they could capture Gu Yuena, it would indeed cause some interference to Dragon God and buy precious time for the Divine Realm.
The gods of destruction, God of Evil, and Goddess of Kindness quickly reached a consensus: intercept him immediately, and absolutely not allow the Silver Dragon King to escape their control!
··············································
At the edge of Douluo Star, at the boundary between the dimensional barrier and the endless void, space rippled slightly.
Having concealed all their presence, Tang San and Gu Yuena were about to tear through space and escape.
