I Thought You Didn't Have a Brain!

Sitting on the Pope throne, Qian Xunji merely glanced at her, and a terrifying pressure as vast as an abyss and as heavy as a mountain descended, precisely enveloping Gu Yuena!

"Bang!!!"

With a muffled thud, Gu Yuena felt as if the entire sky was pressing down on her back. She was completely unable to resist the absolute difference in strength, and her body was forced forward and slammed heavily onto the smooth, hard ground!

Even the special material of the floor tiles beneath her couldn't withstand the immense force, shattering inch by inch and collapsing into a shallow pit!

Qian Xunji looked at Gu Yuena, who was pinned to the ground but still raised her head, staring at him with eyes filled with anger and a kind of... indescribable "clear stupidity".

This was not the shrewd, patient, and era-defining Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena that he knew.

To be precise, in this life, Gu Yuena would never have helped Tang San hunt down the Soul Beast, much less recklessly risk breaking into the heavily guarded Herb Garden. She is no saintly figure who sacrifices herself for others!

All the previous signs were just speculation, but now, looking into those eyes that were even more "wise" than his own, Qian Xunji was completely certain.

Qian Xunji had no interest in this personality and couldn't be bothered to say anything more. He casually waved his hand and ordered as if shooing away a fly, "Drag him away and lock him in the dungeon."

Gu Yuena was even more furious upon hearing this! This man forced her to kneel down, locked her up without asking a single question, and then what did he want?!

"Bastard! You..." She was about to unleash her pent-up resentment when she opened her mouth to curse.

However, before the words were finished—

"Zzzzzzz--!!!"

A powerful, dazzling golden current suddenly erupted from the metal collar around her neck!

This is no ordinary lightning; it contains the golden divine lightning of Sikong Zhen, which is extremely powerful and yang, capable of destroying evil and vanquishing demons!

The electric current not only burned her body, but also carried a terrifying penetrating force that struck the depths of her soul!

"Ah--!" Gu Yuena let out a short scream, her whole body convulsing violently. She was instantly charred and burned by the electric shock, and her consciousness went blank for a brief moment.

But coincidentally, or perhaps inevitably, this intense stimulation that struck the soul acted like a violent switch, abruptly triggering a personality shift!

The personality of the Life Goddess quickly faded and disappeared amidst extreme suffering.

Control over the body has returned to the original consciousness of the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena!

She shook her head, which was still feeling dizzy and throbbing, and struggled to lift it.

The previous "clear foolishness" had vanished from those amethyst-like eyes, replaced by a deep coldness, wisdom, and the majesty of the Dragon Clan lord.

She looked at Qian Xunji on the throne, her voice weak from her injuries and the electric shock, yet carrying an undeniable certainty. "Qian Xunji, I can make a deal with you. You probably don't know yet, but Douluo Star will soon face a catastrophe that will engulf all living beings."

She was referring to the news of the Dragon God's imminent return. From the fragments of the Dragon God's inherited memories, she saw ancient scenes—the original Dragon God Realm and its subordinate planes were a world absolutely dominated by Soul Beast.

Once the Dragon God truly returns, given his hatred for human deities, the human civilization on the Douluo Continent will inevitably face devastating suppression!

This concerns the future of all humanity!

However...

Qian Xunji above merely yawned boredly, not even sparing her a glance, letting the two Soul Master drag her out of the hall like a dead dog.

Gu Yuena was both anxious and furious. She raised her voice and shouted, "If you don't listen, you will regret it! This is no child's play; it concerns the life and death of all humans and Soul Beast..."

Her voice echoed in the empty hall, but Qian Xunji paid no attention.

····································

"Crash--Bang!"

The heavy iron prison door was roughly opened and then slammed shut, the chains clanging loudly.

Severely injured, with toxins still lingering in her body and her Soul Power completely imprisoned by the collar, Gu Yuena was mercilessly thrown onto the dark, damp cell floor, kicking up a cloud of dust. She groaned, aggravating her wounds, and the excruciating pain nearly made her faint.

This cell was located deep within the dungeon. Next door were prisoners who refused to submit to the Spirit Hall Empire, or who were spared execution because they still had value—such as Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Horse Douluo, and some Titled Douluo from the Star Luo Royal Family, etc.

However, in this darkness, one cell stands out as an oddity.

The cell was not only relatively clean, but it even contained a simple wooden table, a stool, and a bed covered with soft, clean bedding. Most strikingly, on the table sat an oil lamp emitting a warm, dim glow.

In this dark and oppressive dungeon, which seemed capable of swallowing all hope, that faint but steady light, like a distant lighthouse in a stormy night, was exceptionally captivating.

Inside that special cell, a woman dressed in simple prison clothes, yet whose unparalleled beauty could not be concealed, sat quietly at the table.

Her posture was as upright as a pine tree in the snow, her face was calm, and her eyes did not show the dejection of a prisoner, but rather a kind of almost pious determination and indifference.

It was Bo Saixi.

She seemed to sense the arrival of a new "fellow inmate," slightly turning her head and calmly sweeping her gaze over Gu Yuena, who was sprawled on the ground in a disheveled state, her eyes devoid of sorrow or joy.

Chapter 300 I thought you were brainless!

For a level 99 Peak Douluo and the High Priest of Sea God Island, this treatment was still humiliating, but compared to other prisoners, it was worlds apart.

All of this was naturally ordered secretly by Qian Daoliu.

Given Bo Saixi's status, strength, and over a century-long friendship with Qian Daoliu, she could have been given a better, more dignified environment for imprisonment, or even a degree of "house arrest" freedom, but she refused any obvious preferential treatment.

Qian Xunji, the Pope of the Spirit Hall Empire, killed Tang Chen, the only love of her life, a feud that could not be forgiven.

It was absolutely impossible for her to submit to the Qian Xunji Spirit Hall Empire, especially to Qian Xunji.

The reason she did not immediately commit suicide to apologize to the Sea God was simply because deep down she still upheld the mission of the high priest—to sacrifice herself to complete the divine test for the sake of the Sea God's legacy.

She cannot die easily before this mission is completed.

Qian Daoliu knew Bo Saixi's fierceness and pride. He could neither change her mind nor set her free. He could only try to improve her situation in her final days in a way that did not touch her bottom line of dignity.

However, this insignificant "care" was soon discovered by Qian Xunji.

Pope Palace, Qian Xunji uttered two words to Qian Daoliu in front of him. "Simp."

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly. He didn't know the exact meaning of the word, but from his son's tone and expression, he knew it was definitely not a compliment. He remained silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashing across his aged and dignified face, before finally speaking calmly:

"She... is dying."

The implication is that for a dying person, especially a woman who once stood at the pinnacle of the continent but has now lost everything and is clinging to her last shred of dignity, giving her a little final respect is only human nature; why be so harsh?

"Are you feeling sorry for me, or are you truly empathizing with me?" Qian Xunji remained unmoved and retorted, "But I said I would resurrect you."

Qian Daoliu looked at his son's inhuman golden eyes and felt somewhat powerless.

This rebellious son is still completely inhuman!

He shook his head, no longer trying to explain or argue, and closed his eyes wearily.

Seeing his father remain silent, Qian Xunji felt that Old Deng was feeling guilty because he had been caught out.

He scoffed, "Why don't I see you showing such pity for other dying people?"

"Aren't those soldiers who died on the battlefield, those civilians killed by Fallen Soul Master, pitiful?"

Was Bo Saixi pitiful?

Perhaps so. To wait a hundred years on Sea God Island, deprived of freedom, all for a vague and uncertain 'successor,' and in the end, to sacrifice everything—he truly resembles a pitiful gravedigger.

But she is also the High Priestess of Sea God Island, Peak Douluo of level ninety-nine, and possesses the god-level Martial Soul Sea God!

She has reached a height that most people in the world can never achieve in their lifetime!

The power, the honor, and even the mission of waiting and sacrifice that she possessed were things that so many people longed for but could not obtain!

"There are countless people in this world who are more pitiful, more lowly, and who died more silently than her!"

Bo Saixi doesn't even rank in the list.

Qian Xunji turned around, her gaze falling on Qian Daoliu, and said, "Admit it, Father..."

You still care about her.

Qian Daoliu silent.

"..."

He remained silent for a while before speaking.

"I will not interfere with your handling of Bo Saixi."

Just like how he knew perfectly well that Doria was from the Spirit Hall Empire and was trying to trick Bo Saixi into taking her godhood, yet he never warned her.

Sometimes it's better to remain ignorant about certain things.

Having witnessed the disgraceful actions of his Qian Xunji son Qian Xunji, even the Qian Daoliu began to fall into depravity.

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

In the dimly lit dungeon.

Bo Saixi recognized Gu Yuena as the "reinforcement" mentioned in the Sea God Sea God Island, who ultimately fled in disarray by tearing through space.

Bo Saixi had no good feelings towards this deserter "reinforcement" who betrayed the Lord Sea God. She withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes again, and completely ignored Gu Yuena's existence, as if she were just an insignificant wisp of air.

Gu Yuena, however, paid no attention to Bo Saixi's attitude. She glanced around, a subtle glint of something unusual flashing in her amethyst eyes. There were quite a few "familiar faces" imprisoned in this dungeon.

Tang Xiao, the once-majestic Clear Sky Sect, whose aura had weakened but whose former authority was still evident, was Tang San's uncle. Although he had passed away naturally, he could still be considered... a "relative" in some sense?

The old man on the other side, covered in wounds and with white hair and beard, was Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, the father of Yu Xiaogang, Tang San's master...

This dungeon is like a crossroads of fate, bringing together many people connected to Tang San.

When Sea Horse Douluo saw that Gu Yuena had also been imprisoned here, a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on his face.

He had witnessed the other party's bizarre spatial abilities before; how exactly did the Spirit Hall Empire capture her?

Just then, the heavy iron door of the dungeon opened slowly with a dull scraping sound.

A refreshing figure, completely out of place in the dark and filthy dungeon, slowly walked in.

She was a girl with long, sky-blue hair, which curled naturally like ocean waves and cascaded down her back. She carried a delicate seashell-shaped handbag at her waist and was adorned with many novel and adorable seashell and pearl ornaments. Her skirt had a unique design, resembling layers of rolling ocean waves.

In the dim light, she seemed to radiate a soft glow, like a sea sprite who had strayed into the mortal world.

It's Doria!

Her appearance invigorated many of the Sea God Island inhabitants in the dungeon, especially the Sea Maiden Douluo.

Doria walked straight to the cell of the Sea Maiden Douluo, her clear eyes filled with worry and earnestness.

She whispered her pleas, hoping that the Sea Maiden Douluo would leave Sea God Island, promising to use her abilities to protect her.

The Sea Maiden Douluo looked at the girl he had watched grow up and poured countless efforts into, his eyes filled with relief and affection, but in the end he still slowly and firmly shook his head.

"Child, I appreciate your kindness." The Sea Maiden Douluo's voice was gentle yet unwavering, "But I have served the High Priestess for a hundred years, and protecting Sea God Island is my mission. Now, although Sea God Island has... I cannot abandon the High Priestess and everyone else to live alone. I will stay here and face the final outcome with her."
