The Divine Realm Was Obscured? Gu Yuan: No More Laying Low! I'm Taking the God King Out to Have Some Fun!
Di Tian let out a cold snort from the side. His golden dragon eyes swept over Daming and Erming, and his voice rumbled like thunder:
"Hmph! For one of our kind who took human form without permission and became entangled with humans, the Master must personally intervene?
"Do you know how exalted the Master's status is?
"Besides, humans are cunning. How do you know this isn't another trap?"
Under Di Tian's reprimand, Daming and Erming's enormous bodies couldn't help shrinking back.
It was a wariness that came from deep within their blood.
Yet their concern for Xiao Wu's safety ultimately outweighed their fear.
They didn't dare argue with Di Tian. They could only place their last hope in those two figures, their pleading gazes almost tangible.
Gu Yuena's violet eyes shifted slightly. Di Tian's words weren't without reason. As the Soul Beast Co-Lord, every move she made was of great consequence. She absolutely couldn't risk danger lightly.
But, just as she'd thought, her heart, imprisoned for ten thousand years, longed to see the world outside with the person by her side.
Gu Yuena didn't make a decision at once. Instead, she turned to Gu Yuan and asked softly:
"Yuan, what do you think?"
She left the choice to him.
Gu Yuan felt the trust in Gu Yuena's gaze, and saw the pleas in Daming and Erming's eyes.
He didn't answer immediately. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes.
In an instant, his consciousness seemed to pass through endless dimensions of time and space.
The chirping of insects and birds in the Star Dou Great Forest, the fragrance of grass and trees, the breath of life... Everything swiftly receded into the distance.
In its place came an omnipresent, imposing, and icy pressure—the force of "divine power."
The Divine Realm, forbidden grounds.
This was a void, without sun, moon, or stars—only eternal light.
Within the enormous golden Dragon Cocoon.
"Buzz..."
The tightly shut dragon eyes suddenly opened. The endless destruction and madness that had filled those golden pupils instantly faded away.
In their place was depth and clarity.
Gu Yuan's consciousness had arrived.
Still just as uncomfortable.
Gu Yuan thought to himself.
Though this clone possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth, it was also shackled by the Divine Realm's most powerful seal.
It constantly endured the crushing pressure of the Five God Kings' laws, like a prisoner confined in a gilded cage.
Gu Yuan instinctively raised his dragon head and swept his divine sense over the forbidden grounds, then across the more distant reaches of the Divine Realm.
However, he saw no sign of the "Sky Screen."
That enormous screen, which covered the sky and blotted out the sun on Douluo Continent, stirring winds and clouds, was nowhere to be found in the Divine Realm.
"Hmm?"
A trace of doubt rose in Gu Yuan's heart.
He immediately roused the Golden Dragon King's vast, ocean-like divine sense, condensing it into an invisible sword and aiming it at the plane coordinates of Douluo Continent, hoping to observe the lower realm directly.
But just as his divine sense was about to touch the plane's crystal wall—
A gentle yet irresistible force appeared out of nowhere. Like an invisible but incomparably tough membrane, it softly, yet firmly, pushed his divine sense away.
"What?!"
Gu Yuan's heart shook violently!
Unwilling to accept it, Gu Yuan poured even more divine sense into the attempt. The auras of destruction and creation intertwined within it as he tried to force his way through.
But the result was the same. No matter what he did, his divine sense couldn't pierce that invisible barrier. It could only circle around outside to no avail.
Obscured!
The Sky Screen... could actually obscure the Divine Realm's perception?!
An astonishing thought exploded in Gu Yuan's mind, raising monstrous waves in the heart and mind sealed away for ten thousand years!
That meant the five fellows in the Divine Realm had become blind and deaf!
They couldn't observe anything happening on Douluo Continent directly!
What thrilled him even more was the difference in the flow of time!
One day in the Divine Realm was one year in the lower realm.
Several hours had passed on Douluo Continent since the Sky Screen appeared, but in the Divine Realm, not even a single breath had likely gone by!
Even if the Five God Kings noticed the faintest ripple in the laws, they wouldn't have time to react, much less know what earth-shaking changes were taking place in the lower realm!
"Haha... Hahahaha!"
Gu Yuan's consciousness let out a silent peal of laughter inside the Golden Dragon King's clone.
Beyond the Dragon Cocoon, the divine chains binding it rang and trembled at the violent surge of his emotions.
Why was I still wasting my time cultivating here?!
This was a godsend!
A once-in-ten-thousand-years upheaval!
His greatest concern had always been the surveillance of the Five God Kings.
He and Gu Yuena were like fish trapped in a glass tank, every move watched by others. That was why they'd had no choice but to lie low in the Star Dou Great Forest, build up their strength, and wait for the right moment.
But now, this "Sky Screen" was like a huge curtain, covering the fish tank completely!
Those outside couldn't see in anymore!
Once the thought rose, it spread like a prairie fire, impossible to suppress!
Gu Yuan's mind instantly conjured Gu Yuena's peerlessly beautiful face, and the loneliness that had never left the depths of her eyes for ten thousand years, along with her longing for the world outside.
Take her out of the Star Dou openly and proudly. Let her see the towns of the human world, taste all the novel foods, and take in the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas of Douluo Continent...
Rather than remain forever trapped beside Life Lake!
Rescuing that little rabbit was just the perfect excuse!
His true purpose was to take Gu Yuena along and enjoy this once-in-a-thousand-years stretch of undisturbed freedom!
"So that's it... So that's what it is!"
Gu Yuan no longer hesitated. His divine sense instantly withdrew from the Golden Dragon King's clone and returned to his true body.
The Star Dou Great Forest, beside Life Lake.
Gu Yuan abruptly opened his eyes. An unprecedented light gleamed in those deep pupils, along with a hint of sly amusement.
He looked at Gu Yuena, whose eyes were full of expectation, then glanced at Daming and Erming below, humbly pleading, and at Di Tian, who wore a solemn expression.
Gu Yuan cleared his throat and announced in a firm, unquestionable voice, with an air of "righteous indignation":
"Di Tian, you need say no more!"
"We are all of the Soul Beast Clan. How can we stand by while one of our own falls into the schemes of human conspirators?
"This concerns not only the life of that Soft Bone Rabbit, but also the dignity of our Soul Beast Clan!"
"Today, Na'er and I will personally make a trip to the human world!
"First, to rescue our kin. Second, to strike fear into the hearts of the petty and wicked!
"Let those greedy humans know that the Star Dou Great Forest is no backyard for them to scheme against as they please!"
His words rang out with conviction, brimming with righteousness.
Daming and Erming were moved to tears. They thumped their enormous heads against the ground again and again, overwhelmed with gratitude.
Di Tian remained concerned, but seeing that the young master was set on this and that his words carried the full weight of righteousness, he couldn't object any further. He could only bow and accept the order:
"Yes, young master. Your wisdom is unmatched!"
