The God Realm Deserved to Be My Enemy? They Were Just Incidental

She was the Common Master of Soul Beasts and one half of the Dragon God, so it made sense for her to think that.

But what was his situation?

Could it be different from what she had imagined?

Was he not from the God Realm?

What shocked Gu Yuena even more was that, despite being half a God King and possessing God King-level spiritual power, she could not sense his aura at all.

How was that possible?

She was the other half of the Dragon God, wielding elemental and spiritual power.

In those aspects, she was not the slightest bit inferior to a God King.

Yet even so, she still could not locate his true body, nor could she even lock onto his aura.

This could only mean one thing.

His strength far exceeded her imagination.

Gu Yuena fell silent for a moment before asking tentatively, "Can you help me?"

"Of course!"

The mysterious being answered casually, then asked, "Otherwise, why would I have come looking for you?"

Gu Yuena knew full well that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Such a powerful being had suddenly come to her doorstep and claimed he would help her fight back into the God Realm. No matter how she looked at it, something was off.

"What do you want?" she asked, her voice laced with vigilance.

The mysterious being chuckled. "I don't want anything, and there's nothing you can give me. You only need to listen to me. Later, I'll naturally lead you into the God Realm."

Gu Yuena was silent for a moment before probing again, "Do you have a grudge against the God Realm?"

The mysterious being snorted, his tone carrying a trace of disdain. "The God Realm deserves to be my enemy? They were just incidental."

Gu Yuena's heart jolted.

The God Realm...

Was merely incidental?

Then what was this mysterious being's real target?

She did not dare to keep thinking about it.

"What do I need to do?" Gu Yuena asked, a trace of determination in her voice.

She no longer had a choice.

If this mysterious being truly meant her harm, then with his strength, even if he could not kill her, he could still expose her whereabouts.

Since he had not attacked directly and had instead proposed cooperation, that meant she still had value to him.

And perhaps this was her chance to change her fate.

There was no helping it. The soul beast clan was simply too weak now.

Other than her, only her other half—the Golden Dragon King—possessed any combat power.

But the problem was that no one even knew whether the Golden Dragon King was dead or alive, so she could not rely on him.

The mysterious being directly transmitted a piece of information into her mind.

Gu Yuena closed her eyes and absorbed the information.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, her brows tightly furrowed as she asked doubtfully, "Are you sure this will work?"

"Do you have any other choice right now?"

The mysterious being countered, his tone carrying a hint of amusement. "Since I could come here without a sound, you should understand that the current soul beast clan is of no use to me whatsoever. Whether you agree or not is up to you."

Gu Yuena fell silent.

She truly had no other choice.

For thousands of years, she had hidden here to heal, hoping to recover her strength before fighting back into the God Realm, avenging the dragon clan, and securing living space for the soul beast clan.

But her injuries were too severe, and her recovery was painfully slow.

At this rate, even another ten thousand years would not be enough for her to return to her peak.

The method offered by this mysterious being carried enormous risks, and she did not understand why it would work, but it was her only hope at present.

After all, she had no way out anymore.

"Alright!"

After a moment, Gu Yuena finally made her decision. "I agree."

"A wise choice."

The mysterious being said with satisfaction, "Don't worry. You won't regret it."

As his words fell, that mysterious aura receded like the tide and soon vanished without a trace, as though it had never appeared.

Gu Yuena looked up at the sky, her beautiful eyes narrowing as memories continued to churn through her mind.

That aura from before felt very familiar, as if she had personally seen it somewhere.

But for the moment, she could not remember where.

What she could be certain of, however, was that he was definitely not one of the five from the God Realm.

So did this mean she had truly gained a companion with a common enemy?

At the outskirts of Star Dou Forest, a carriage slowly came to a stop.

The curtain was lifted, and a beautiful figure stepped down from the carriage.

She wore a long white dress whose hem swayed gently with her movements, outlining her perfect, tall figure.

Sunlight filtered through gaps in the leaves and fell upon her, coating her in a golden radiance.

She wore a smile, her aura pure and fresh, as though she naturally possessed a power that put others at ease.

It was Bo Saixi, who had traveled all the way from Sea God Island.

After getting down, she did not rush to inspect her surroundings. Instead, she turned and extended a hand toward the carriage.

A small hand reached out through the curtain and took hers.

It belonged to Li Changqing.

After a month of sailing at sea and traveling overland, they had finally arrived at their destination—Star Dou Forest.

Li Changqing looked up at the endless forest ahead, and a wave of awe rose within him.

Star Dou Forest truly lived up to its reputation as the largest soul beast forest on the entire continent.

As far as the eye could see, ancient trees towered into the sky, their canopies blotting out the sun. Only dappled rays of light could filter through gaps in the leaves.

The air was filled with the rich scent of vegetation, mixed with the fragrance of earth.

From deep within the forest came occasional low beastly roars, inspiring instinctive reverence.

"So this is Star Dou Forest..." Li Changqing murmured, a trace of anticipation flashing through his eyes.

Bo Saixi stood beside him, her gaze also fixed upon the forest, a faint smile on her lips. "Let's go in. Hopefully, we can find a suitable soul beast for you soon."

Li Changqing nodded and followed Bo Saixi into Star Dou Forest.

The moment they entered the forest, the light immediately dimmed.

The towering trees blocked out most of the sunlight, leaving only a few beams to shine through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled patterns across the ground.

Bo Saixi walked in front, with Li Changqing close behind her.

Though she appeared to be walking casually, Bo Saixi had already fully released her spiritual power.

As a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, her spiritual power covered an extremely vast range. Nothing within dozens of miles could escape her perception.

She knew exactly which tree held a bird's nest, which patch of grass concealed a rabbit foraging for food, which stream contained swimming fish, and even which area had the most mosquitoes.

Of course, her primary goal was still to find a suitable soul beast for Li Changqing.

The Ancient Tree of Life was formed from the Goddess of Life's super divine artifact and needed to absorb soul rings related to life and creation.

Such soul beasts were relatively rare in the ocean, but they should not be difficult to find in a forest.

As Bo Saixi walked, she scanned the surrounding area with her spiritual power.

After walking for about half an hour, she suddenly stopped.

"Found it," Bo Saixi said softly, delight flashing in her eyes.

Li Changqing perked up and hurriedly asked, "What did you find?"

"An Emerald Swan, around three thousand years old."

Bo Saixi pointed toward a lake not far ahead. "Look over there."

Li Changqing followed the direction of her finger and saw a small lake ahead. Its water was clear to the bottom, gleaming with an emerald-like luster beneath the sunlight.

An elegant swan was swimming across its surface.

The swan was entirely emerald green, its feathers sleek and radiant, glimmering faintly under the sunlight.

Its neck was long and graceful, and every stroke through the water carried a unique beauty.

What drew the eye most was the aura radiating from its body.

Pure, warm, and brimming with vitality.

That aura somewhat resembled the one emitted by the Ancient Tree of Life.

Though it was far less vast than the Ancient Tree of Life's aura, their attributes were highly compatible.
