Gu Yuena in Her Prime

Facing the calm, water-like eyes of Di Tian, Huo Yuhao's mouth hung open, his face etched with disbelief.

Yet, looking at Di Tian, he ultimately fell silent.

"Senior Di Tian, are you certain you are serious?"

"For someone of your strength and foundation to become my spirit, and to grant me a third martial soul, is naturally what I desire, but it is certainly not a good thing for you."

Huo Yuhao's tone carried a rare solemnity, for even he could not fathom why Di Tian would harbor such thoughts, wanting to become his spirit.

"I never joke. Since I have made my choice, I will see it through."

"Enough, you need say no more; just tell me whether you agree or not."

"If you agree, I shall become your spirit now and help you obtain a third martial soul. If you do not, then I shall depart, and there will be no further connection between us."

Di Tian's voice was calm as his gaze locked with Huo Yuhao's.

The hesitation in Huo Yuhao's eyes lasted only two seconds before he suddenly stood up.

Currently, Brother Sky Dream had been taken away, and his specific situation was unknown, but it was highly probable that Brother Sky Dream would be fine, so Huo Yuhao was not overly anxious regarding him.

After all, this was a Sky Dream Ice Silkworm with memories; if it were the original, timid Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, it would likely have merged with anyone at random without a care.

But the problem was, the current Brother Sky Dream was the God-Level Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that had returned with him.

After becoming a god, how could it possibly still look favorably upon ordinary people?

For Brother Sky Dream, the only one he could be certain would become a god was himself.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao was not very worried about the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, especially since, with the power of a god, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was highly likely to have escaped.

Looking at the calm eyes of Di Tian before him, he had no reason to refuse.

This was Di Tian; the Beast God Di Tian was the most powerful soul beast in this world.

Even knowing that Gu Yuena stood above Di Tian, Gu Yuena had no relationship with him.

At this moment, for him, accepting the Beast God Di Tian was already the best choice.

"I am naturally willing, Senior Di Tian. Please, become my spirit."

Huo Yuhao's tone was filled with respect, and his eyes held a glimmer of excitement.

Hearing his words, Di Tian did not dawdle. He flicked his black robe, his entire body transforming into a stream of light before plunging directly into Huo Yuhao's body.

A dragon roar, deep to the extreme, erupted from within Huo Yuhao. He fell to his knees as the surrounding earth began to collapse, and a terrifying turbulence of elements was triggered in the vicinity.

Feeling a vast power beginning to emerge and condense within his body, Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly transformed into golden vertical pupils.

Yet, no one noticed that not far from Huo Yuhao's feet, a circular black dot, after experiencing the explosion of this energy, instantly turned into a pile of electronic fragments.

Meanwhile, in Star Luo City, over a hundred miles away from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Le Zhengyue stood there in silence, listening to the information from within. He tilted his head slightly to look at Na'er, who was sitting there eating.

The little girl was only six years old, her small hands still possessing the standard "lotus root" arms of a child.

The little girl had been eating well these past two days, and her figure had grown noticeably plumper. Seeing Le Zhengyue's gaze upon her, Na'er blinked at him, her eyes filled with a pure, dazed cuteness.

Looking at Na'er and recalling the information Di Tian had mentioned, Le Zhengyue felt goosebumps rise all over his skin.

At the thought that the person before him was the real Gu Yuena, a terrifying existence with God King-level combat power, Le Zhengyue's eyes flickered.

He had originally been indifferent toward Na'er; after all, even if she recovered her memories in three years, with his Dragon God bloodline, it would be impossible for her to do anything to him.

The premise for him daring to let her be was that she lacked god-level combat power and only possessed the strength of a Limit Douluo—in that situation, he could run if he couldn't win.

But now, what was the point of fighting? Facing a God King-level Gu Yuena, wasn't that just courting death?

Even if the young girl before him did not unleash her full-form combat power, he would absolutely not be able to defeat her.

Thinking of this, the corners of Le Zhengyue's mouth twitched slightly, but looking at the girl's innocent and naive appearance, his eyes flickered once more.

Just as he was contemplating how to handle this matter, his God-Level Choice System sent a notification, and three options appeared before him.

[Detected that you have realized the truth of the matter: Gu Yuena in her complete form possesses quasi-God King-level combat power.]

[Now issuing the following three choices!]

[Choice 1: Become a beast, use the power of the Dragon God to stimulate Gu Yuena, force her into her adult state, and make her your wife.]
[Choice Reward: 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone.]

[Choice 2: Continue to raise Gu Yuena without using any other means.]
[Choice Reward: Three opportunities to erase memories; can erase memories not naturally possessed by the target.]

[Choice 3: Abandon Gu Yuena and send her back to Tang Wulin's side.]
[Choice Reward: Obtain 5% of the Dragon God bloodline.]

Looking at these three choices, Le Zhengyue's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't even need to consider the first choice.

He was not that kind of animal, and it was hard to say whether Gu Yuena would kill him once she recovered her memories.

Even if they had consummated their relationship and become husband and wife, as the Master of Soul Beasts, would Gu Yuena truly care about such a thing as a marital bond?

This choice was almost a dead end, especially if Gu Yuena truly was at the God King level once she recovered her memories.

Fighting against the only God King in the world would be impossible; even if he dragged the entire Yue Family down with him, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.

As for the third option, while it is quite good and could grant him the Dragon God bloodline to enhance his own strength and potential, the problem is that it would be equivalent to creating an enemy for himself.

If he could coexist peacefully with Tang Wulin and the others, that would be one thing, but the issue is that peaceful coexistence is fundamentally impossible.

The three great protagonists are naturally in the same camp, and the chance of conflict or estrangement between them is minimal.

Their ultimate goal is the entirety of Douluo Planet, and once the three of them become gods, they will be able to sense that something is wrong with Le Zhengyue. Even if he does absolutely nothing, the final result will be his death.

Therefore, they are inherently the greatest point of conflict, and peaceful coexistence is impossible.

If the first two scenarios are ruled out, then only the second option remains.

Option two, keeping Gu Yuena by his side, is the most conservative choice.

And if it were truly possible to erase memories, he could completely destroy Gu Yuena's memories.

This would be an incredibly good thing; if only her new human memories were preserved, the implications for Le Zhengyue would be unimaginable.

Alternatively, even if this memory erasure opportunity only destroyed the extra memories added by the likes of Tang San, while preserving her memories as Gu Yuena, she still wouldn't have any memories of her time with Tang Wulin.

In such a situation, Le Zhengyue could still live on steadily; after all, he possesses 10% of the Dragon God bloodline.

Whether it is completely destroying her memories or just destroying the memories of her time with Tang Wulin, it is a good thing for Le Zhengyue.
