Gu Yuena: Am I Going to Split Apart Again, Again, Again?

This time.

The misunderstanding was truly enormous.

By a twist of fate, the blame Tang Wulin carried had been pinned on him by the amnesiac Gu Yuena.

Well... it couldn't exactly be called one person's fault.

They were all grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

Everyone had their flaws.

Flaw Number One, Gu Yuena, whose brain had short-circuited; Flaw Number Two, Tang Wulin, who had fallen for someone else; Flaw Number Three, Le Qingling, who had charged into battle for love.

And Flaw Number Three, himself, Di Tian, who sat firmly as the love-struck military strategist.

Le Qingling alone could never have imagined Ouyang Zixin, the white moonlight who dealt one hundred percent bonus damage to Tang Wulin and landed critical hits with every blow, no matter how hard she racked her brains.

That had happened so many years ago.

Never mind how tall the grass on Ouyang Zixin's grave would be by now—even if she had reincarnated countless times, she had probably already had dozens of generations of children.

All he could say was that the current situation was a chain reaction caused by him helping Le Qingling pursue Tang Wulin.

A chain reaction that had produced a colossal misunderstanding.

Di Tian looked at the furious Gu Yuena, but he did not explain himself immediately.

Instead, with the intention of testing something, he asked.

"How about it."

"Give me your heart."

"That way, it won't hurt anymore."

"Oh—" Gu Yuena seemed to have interpreted it from an entirely new angle. "So it really was you!"

"You're the culprit behind my heartache!"

"And now you even want my heart!"

"You're simply..."

Di Tian watched calmly as Gu Yuena spewed obscenities.

The attempt had failed. Gu Yuena had not obediently followed Di Tian's lead.

He had originally thought that, taking advantage of the misunderstanding, he might be able to guide Gu Yuena into voluntarily taking out her heart—the Dragon God Core, the super-divine artifact fused with her heart.

Unfortunately.

Once a nasty love story got involved, the entanglement became exceptionally complicated. Nothing could be handled cleanly and decisively.

Of course, it was within his expectations.

When one plan failed, another arose in Di Tian's mind.

On the surface, Gu Yuena looked like one entity, but in truth, she was formed from Gu Yuena Composite Fragment One, "Gu Yue," and Gu Yuena Composite Fragment Two, "Na'er."

Ten thousand years ago, although Gu Yue had won her wager against Na'er, she had not perfectly fused with Na'er. Flaws had always remained in the fusion.

Oh! No, that wasn't right!

In the original timeline.

After Gu Yue and Na'er had gone on a blind date with Tang Wulin, they had openly discussed everything by the shore of Sea God Lake.

They had been split apart for too long, and their personalities had grown increasingly different. By the time they finally fused, the flaws had already become cracks.

A broken mirror could not be made whole again.

Even if it was forcibly pieced back together, the cracks would still remain.

Since that was the case, there was no need to clear up this colossal misunderstanding.

Let the misunderstanding continue.

When Gu Yuena regained her memories again, would she split apart once more?

Di Tian estimated that the odds of Gu Yuena splitting back into "Gu Yue" and "Na'er" were at least much higher than the odds of Tang Wulin splitting into "Tang Wu" and "Tang Lin."

Moreover.

The first time she entered the human world, she lost Composite Fragment Two, "Na'er." The second time she entered the human world, she even lost what was between her legs.

Now, this counted as Gu Yuena's third time entering the human world, and she had still lost her memories.

What had happened before would happen again; what had been done before would be done again.

What would Gu Yuena lose this time?

Di Tian could not say.

But he was looking forward to it.

Not only was he curious about what Gu Yuena would lose during her third entry into the human world, but Gu Yuena splitting back into "Gu Yue" and "Na'er" would also bring him tremendous benefits.

It was about to split apart again.

The Dragon God Core, a super divine artifact that had already fused with her heart, certainly would not remain all that stable either.

Wouldn't that be his chance?

Besides.

Part of Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon King origin had already been drained by the Dragon God Egg. It was no longer possible for her to cultivate back to a true half-step God King.

If she continued splitting into "Gu Yue" and "Na'er," she probably would not even be able to maintain the level of a super-god-class first-rank deity.

Under such circumstances.

He only needed to cultivate to the True God level to truly resolve Gu Yuena's problem.

As sparks of thought exploded in his mind.

On the surface, Di Tian unusually gave Gu Yuena a pleasant look and readily took the blame.

"Regarding your experience of 'losing the love of your life and seeing only ruin wherever you look,' I deeply apologize."

"Don't worry."

"From now on, I'll definitely give you my whole heart."

In an instant.

Even Gu Yuena, who had been hurling profanities, froze. Her first reaction was disbelief.

Di Tian, who had always detested her, could actually say such conciliatory words? Di Tian, who had always been cold toward her, had actually promised to give her his whole heart from now on?

Things had reversed too quickly, making it difficult for Gu Yuena to accept.

She stood there blankly.

She did not even notice Di Tian closing the dormitory door.

A colossal misunderstanding continued on like this, driven by chance amid the flaws of a whole crowd of people.

The benefits and harms it brought to others were still fermenting.

But the benefits it brought Di Tian were not merely in the future—they were immediate.

Gu Yuena settled down considerably.

Di Tian stayed in his dormitory cultivating for an entire day, and Gu Yuena did not disturb him again.

Only when the day's cultivation was nearly over did someone come looking for him once more.

It was not Gu Yuena.

It was the divine-sword-wielding young man, Ye Moyong.

The door opened a few seconds after it was knocked on.

"Senior."

"The dean asks that you come over."

Di Tian nodded and stepped forward, asking:

"Did the debate over using neural-bridge sensory-link technology to command giant warships and Ecological Warship hive-cluster operations reach a conclusion?"

"Who gained the initiative?"

"The Federation?"

"Or Shrek and the Tang Sect?"

A trace of difficulty appeared in Ye Moyong's eyes, but he still answered truthfully:

"You could say the debate reached a conclusion."

"Explain."

Faced with Di Tian's question, Ye Moyong gave a specific answer that made Di Tian's expression stiffen.

"They debated for a day and a night."

"The result was that there was no result."

"No one managed to defeat anyone else."

"So they jointly decided to invite you over."

"To ask for your opinion."

"Heh." The result of no result made Di Tian laugh. "In the end."

"It landed on my head."

Ye Moyong nodded somewhat awkwardly, tacitly admitting that Di Tian was right.

"Fine."

"Take me there first."

"Alright." Ye Moyong led the way, and Di Tian soon followed him into the research base of the Elf Branch Academy.

The research base had been built against the side of a great mountain and extended nearly a thousand meters underground.

The giant mech, the "Universe Pioneer," which had been transferred from the Federation to Elf Planet, was stored here.

It came into view within Di Tian's golden eyes.

The giant mech stood a hundred zhang tall, forged entirely from alloy and gleaming with a cold metallic luster. It carried an almost tangible sense of immense weight.

Its mechanical arms bore weapons similar to those of a mothership mech—both melee and ranged weapons.

Freely maneuverable chain swords, as well as energy cannons capable of storing power.

Ye Moyong introduced it from the side:

"This is the Federation's scientific culmination for humanity's victory over gods. In theory, two ordinary people capable of synchronizing their thoughts and forming a neural bridge could bear the pressure of operating the giant mech and thus fight god-level powerhouses."

Di Tian nodded.

Though he could not yet judge the giant mech's power, it certainly would not be weak.

As they walked, they ran into someone approaching them.

Ling Zichen.

It was not strange for this research fanatic to be here, but the first thing she said was quite strange.

The first words out of a research fanatic's mouth were not about the giant mech or the Ecological Warship's hive-swarm combat, but about Di Tian himself.

Her face was full of delight and happiness.

"Congratulations, Di Tian."

"May you have a child soon."
