Gu Yuena at Her Full Strength

Facing Di Tian's placid gaze, Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, disbelief written across his face.

But as he looked at Di Tian, he fell silent again.

"Senior Di Tian, are you sure you're serious?"

"With your strength and foundation, becoming my Soul Spirit and granting me a third Martial Soul is naturally something I'd want. But it wouldn't be a good thing for you."

There was a rare note of solemnity in Huo Yuhao's voice. Even he couldn't understand why Di Tian would want to become his Soul Spirit.

"I never joke around. Since I've made my choice, I'll see it through."

"Enough. You don't need to say anything more. Just tell me whether you agree."

"If you agree, I'll become your Soul Spirit right now and help you gain a third Martial Soul. If you don't, I'll leave, and there'll be nothing between us."

Di Tian spoke calmly as he met Huo Yuhao's gaze.

The hesitation in Huo Yuhao's eyes lasted only two seconds before he abruptly rose to his feet.

Brother Sky Dream had been captured, and the details were unclear. But there was a high chance nothing would happen to him, so Huo Yuyao wasn't worried about Brother Sky Dream for now.

After all, this was the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm with its memories. If it were the original, timid and afraid of trouble, it would probably have fused with just anyone and not cared.

But the Brother Sky Dream of today was the divine-level Sky Dream Ice Silkworm who had returned with him.

After becoming a god, how could it possibly still be interested in ordinary people?

As far as Brother Sky Dream was concerned, the only one he could be sure would become a god was himself.

So, thinking of that, Huo Yuhao wasn't too worried about the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Especially after it had gained divine power, it would probably be able to escape.

Looking into Di Tian's calm eyes, he had no reason to refuse.

This was Di Tian—the Beast God Di Tian, the most powerful Soul Beast in the world.

Even if he knew that Gu Yuena stood above Di Tian, she had nothing to do with him.

Right now, accepting the Beast God Di Tian was already the best choice he could make.

"Of course I'm willing, Senior Di Tian. Please become my Soul Spirit."

Respect colored Huo Yuhao's voice, and excitement shone in his eyes.

Hearing him, Di Tian didn't hesitate. With a light sweep of his black robe, his entire body became a streak of light and plunged straight into Huo Yuhao.

A deep, rumbling dragon's roar rose from within Huo Yuhao. He dropped to his knees as the ground around him began to cave in, and terrifying elemental currents erupted all around.

Feeling an immense power emerge within him and steadily gather, Huo Yuhao's eyes turned into golden, vertical pupils in an instant.

What no one noticed was that, not far from Huo Yuhao's feet, a round black spot shattered in the energy blast, instantly turning into a pile of electronic fragments.

Meanwhile, in Star Luo City, more than a hundred miles from the Star Dou Great Forest,

Le Zhengyue stood silently, listening to the information coming through. He turned his head slightly and looked at Na'er, who sat there eating.

The little girl was only six years old. Her small arms were still as plump and pale as lotus roots.

She'd been eating well these past two days, and she'd visibly put on some weight. When she noticed Le Zhengyue looking at her, Na'er blinked at him, her eyes clear and adorably innocent.

Looking at Na'er beside him and thinking of the information Di Tian had shared, Le Zhengyue felt goose bumps rise all over his body.

At the thought that the girl before him was the real Gu Yuena, a terrifying being with the power of a God King, Le Zhengyue's eyes flickered.

He hadn't been concerned about Na'er before. Even if she regained her memories three years later, with his Dragon God Bloodline, she wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

The reason he'd dared to let her be was that she didn't have divine-level strength, only the power of a Limit Douluo. In that situation, even if he couldn't win, he could still run.

But what the hell was there to fight now? Facing Gu Yuena, a God King, would be suicide!

Even if the girl before him didn't unleash her full strength, he still wouldn't stand a chance.

At the thought, Le Zhengyue's mouth twitched slightly. But as he looked at the girl's innocent expression, his eyes flickered.

Just as he was thinking about how to handle the situation, the God-Level Choice System in his mind issued a notification, and three options appeared before him.

[You have realized the truth: Gu Yuena will possess quasi-God King-level strength upon becoming complete.]

[The following three choices are now available!]

[Choice One: Become a beast outright. Use the power of the Dragon God to stimulate Gu Yuena, make her reach adulthood, and then make her your wife.]

[Choice Reward: 100,000-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.]

[Choice Two: Continue raising Gu Yuena and take no other measures.]

[Choice Reward: Three chances to erase memories that the target was not born with.]

[Choice Three: Give up on Gu Yuena and send her back to Tang Wulin.]

[Choice Reward: Gain five percent of the Dragon God Bloodline.]

Looking at the three choices, Le Zhengyue's eyes flickered. The first one was out of the question.

He wasn't that kind of beastly person, and there was no telling whether Gu Yuena would kill him once she regained her memories.

Even if they became husband and wife, even if they consummated their relationship, would Gu Yuena, as the ruler of the Soul Beasts, really care about that supposed marital bond?

That choice was practically a dead end. Especially if Gu Yuena regained her memories and really was a God King.

If he went up against the only God King in the world, even dragging the entire Yue Family into it wouldn't be enough to save him.

The third choice was pretty good, and he'd even gain the Dragon God Bloodline, boosting his strength and potential. But the problem was that it would be like making an enemy of himself.

It might have been fine if he could get along peacefully with Tang Wulin and the others. But the problem was, that was simply impossible.

The three protagonists were naturally on the same side, and there was little chance of a rift forming between them.

Their ultimate goal was the planet Douluo Planet itself. Once all three became gods, they'd be able to see that something was off about Le Zhengyue. Even if he did absolutely nothing, he'd still end up dead.

So they were natural enemies from the start. There was no way they could coexist peacefully.

If he ruled out the first two possibilities, only the second choice remained.

Choice two meant keeping Gu Yuena by his side. It was the safest option.

And if he really could erase her memories, then he could wipe Gu Yuena's memories clean.

That would be an absolutely wonderful thing. If only the memories of this new human were left behind, it would be almost inconceivable for Le Zhengyue.

Or even if the memory-erasing chances only destroyed memories that had been added later, like the ones Tang San and the others had, leaving her memories as Gu Yuena intact, she still wouldn't remember being with Tang Wulin.

In that case, Le Zhengyue could still live in peace. After all, he had ten percent of the Dragon God Bloodline.

Whether it completely wiped her memories or only destroyed her memories of being with Tang Wulin, either outcome would be a good thing for Le Zhengyue.
