Gu Yue's Collapse

"You're talking nonsense." Gu Yue trembled violently all over and abruptly rose from the sofa. Looking down at Zhong Lingyue standing on the tabletop, she was overwhelmed with emotion.

"I'm talking nonsense?! What part of it was nonsense?!" Zhong Lingyue grew even more dissatisfied. In his eyes, the Douluo Plane was the greatest victim, yet he had stated the facts and she still refused to accept them.

"Let me tell you this. The Dragon God not only restricted the powerful Soul Beasts of his era from Achieving Godhood, but even after humanity gradually rose to prominence, he continued to interfere, deliberately limiting the number of humans who could Achieve Godhood. From beginning to end, all he cared about was the Dragon Clan's ruling status. He feared other races would rise and threaten the Dragon Clan's lofty position. Did you really think he was some noble, righteous figure?!"

After talking for so long, Zhong Lingyue's mouth had gone dry. He casually waved a small hand, and the cup on the desk floated into the air. The water dispenser beside it automatically filled the cup, which then landed steadily in his palm. He tilted his head back and took a large drink, wetting his throat before speaking again.

"Hehe, let me ask you something else. Have you always believed that the Dragon Clan's eventual extinction was entirely caused by the human gods of the God Realm?"

Having heard one secret after another that overturned everything she knew, Gu Yue's heart had already been shaken. Faced with his question, she forced herself to remain composed, though her tone was all bluster and no strength.

"Wasn't it?"

Zhong Lingyue burst into laughter, his eyes filled with mockery.

"It really wasn't! I told you long ago that the Dragon Clan brought that fate upon itself.
