A Pig Head and a Fool, Gu Yuena's Choice Paralysis Kicks In!

Gu Yuena's deep, calm purple dragon eyes, which seemed to hold the stars and the universe within them, slowly swept over the Ferocious Beast standing below.

Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, Scarlet King, Ten Thousand Demon King, and... that Di Tian with a pig's head who wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"That god is different from those hypocritical fellows in the Divine Realm."

"He doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards our Soul Beast Clan."

Upon hearing this, the tense nerves of Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, and other Ferocious Beast relaxed slightly.

However, Gu Yuena's next words made all the Ferocious Beast present, including Di Tian, feel as if their souls had been frozen!

"Otherwise..."

Gu Yuena's gaze became incredibly deep, as if piercing through endless space, and she saw the figure carrying Di Tian, complaining.

"If he wanted to kill me, he only needed a single thought."

"We no longer have the chance to speak here."

"His strength far surpasses that of any god I know, even... including the former Dragon God."

Even stronger than the Dragon God?!

That was a supreme being who once ruled the Divine Realm and founded the dragon race!

How could there possibly be an individual in this world more powerful than the Dragon God?!

"Lord... Lord."

Xiong Jun spoke in a deep, gruff voice, his tone trembling noticeably, his previous arrogance completely gone.

"You... you're exaggerating a bit, aren't you?"

"Our Dragon God was once the ruler of the Divine Realm! How could he possibly..."

Before Xiong Jun could finish speaking, he met Gu Yuena's icy, piercing gaze.

That gaze, devoid of any emotion, made Xiong Jun feel as if his gallbladder was about to crack from the cold.

The rest of his words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single syllable.

The Xiong Jun instantly cowered, lowering its massive head like a naughty child who had done something wrong.

Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze, her voice tinged with weariness.

I'm not exaggerating.

"Every word I've said is true."

"But I don't understand."

Gu Yuena's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of confusion, which even she herself could not resolve, was revealed in her amethyst-like eyes.

"Why would such a powerful being appear in a place like Douluo Continent, a place that is so 'barren', instead of staying in the Divine Realm where he should reside?"

This is something that all the Ferocious Beast can't understand.

In the eyes of the Deity, Douluo Continent is nothing more than a low-level plane with scarce resources.

"Therefore, I've decided to send someone to him first to probe and find out his purpose."

Gu Yuena's gaze sharpened, and her tone became more serious.

"The hope is slim, but... if there's even the slightest possibility, I hope to win him over and make him a partner of our Soul Beast Clan."

These words sent shockwaves through the hearts of Ferocious Beast present!

To form an alliance with someone stronger than the Dragon God?

This... this is something they wouldn't even dare to dream of!

"We swear to follow our Lord to the death!"

After a brief moment of shock, all the Ferocious Beast lowered their heads in unison, their voices filled with determination and fervor.

Seeing this, a hint of relief finally appeared on Gu Yuena's cold face.

"Holy crap!"

The Xiong Jun slammed his enormous paw heavily onto his chest, producing a deafening thud!

"Leave this task to me!"

It took a step forward, its massive bear head held high, its eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit and determination!

"I, Xiong Jun, am tough and resilient, perfect for scouting! Even if that guy really turns on me, I can handle it! I guarantee I'll complete the mission and never let you down!"

However, Gu Yuena didn't even glance at it.

She even subconsciously took half a step to the side, as if she wanted to get away from this idiot.

Xiong Jun?

Are you kidding me?

With its volatile temper and not-so-bright brain, it's probably not new to this place.

Then the next day, its bearskin was hung up to dry.

Sending Xiong Jun there wouldn't be a test, it would be suicide.

In the past, for a task that required both brains and strength, Di Tian would undoubtedly have been the best candidate.

But now...

Looking at the pig's head beside her, and recalling Di Tian's idiotic "I know everything" statement, Gu Yuena seriously doubted that the mysterious Deity was absolutely right.

Di Tian, you're really out of your mind.

Moreover, he was quite ill.

Gu Yuena's gaze slowly swept over Bi Ji, the Ten Thousand Demon King, and the Scarlet King.

The Ten Thousand Demon King cunning and treacherous, but his gloomy nature easily provokes resentment from others.

The Scarlet King is fierce and violent. Although he is quite powerful, like the Xiong Jun, he is a firecracker that can be set on fire at any moment.

After much deliberation, it seems that only Bi Ji is the most suitable.

"Bi Ji."

Gu Yuena finally made her decision.

"My lord."

Bi Ji responded gently.

"This task is yours to complete."

Gu Yuena's tone was more serious than ever before.

"Remember, your mission is not to fight, much less to provoke. It is to observe, to understand, and to probe the true attitude of that Deity towards our Soul Beast Clan."

"This journey is extremely dangerous; you must be very careful."

"Rest assured, my lord."

Bi Ji smiled gently, a smile that seemed to melt away all the ice and snow in the world.

"If I can contribute to the future of the Soul Beast Clan, Bi Ji would be willing to give my life."

Gu Yuena nodded with satisfaction.

Putting aside their abilities and intelligence, the loyalty of his subordinates is absolutely trustworthy.

"However, I'm still a little worried about letting you go alone."

Gu Yuena pondered for a moment.

"It would be best to choose another person to accompany you, so you can look out for each other."

Her gaze swept back and forth between Xiong Jun, Scarlet King, Ten Thousand Demon King, and that pig's head once again.

Looking at their eager eyes, Gu Yuena felt her indecisiveness about to flare up again.

What a bunch of deformed and grotesque things these are!

She felt her head start to hurt again.

Just then...

"Buzz--"

A ripple suddenly spread through the calm space.

A purple figure, looking somewhat disheveled, burst out of the distorted space, stumbling and nearly falling.

The person who arrived was none other than Zi JI, who had just escaped back.

As soon as she landed, before she could even see her surroundings clearly, she started rubbing her still-black eye and clutching her kicked backside, muttering and complaining incessantly.

"I'm so angry! Who is that guy? He's fucking ruthless!"

"Kicking my butt is one thing, but slapping me in the face too!"

"I never want to see that bastard again in this life, the next life, or the life after that!"

She looked up as she complained.

Then, she saw a cold, stunningly beautiful face, looking at her with great interest.

As well as...

The Lord's eyes, as if they had found a guiding light in the darkness, suddenly shone with a frightening brightness.
