"Since Huo Yuhao wrote in the Diary before that, according to the original course of events, none of you except Meng Hongchen should have been here, then since you are here, you must also have Diary Copies in your minds, right?"

After finding a quiet spot, Gu Yuena's calm gaze swept across the women before her, her voice utterly devoid of emotion.

In fact, the moment she had been able to mention the existence of the Diary in front of these women without feeling the same heart-palpitating sensation as before, Gu Yuena had already gotten the answer to that question.

The others naturally realized this as well. After obtaining their Diary Copies, they had each tried it separately. If they forcibly revealed the existence of the Diary Copy to outsiders, the only outcome would be death.

So, this was a little gathering of Diary Copy holders?

Meng Hongchen turned to Wang Dong'er and asked the question that concerned her most.

"Since you have a Diary Copy too, you should already know the truth—know about Tang San's scheme against you, right?"

Wang Dong'er's expression darkened, her fists already clenched. Everyone present could clearly feel the fury and hatred radiating from her, and the women's gazes toward Wang Dong'er grew somewhat sympathetic.

Treated as a tool by her own biological father, destined even to be replaced by someone else in the future, while everything she had enjoyed over the years as the Young Sect Master of Clear Sky Sect had all been false.

Could anyone possibly accept a fate like that?

Under the women's watchful gazes, Wang Dong'er took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "The Divine Sense Fragments Tang San hid within my soul have already been absorbed by the Diary Copy, yet his next move has been delayed for so long. I think Huo Yuhao's previous guess was correct—the God Realm really has encountered a problem! Otherwise, given how he operates, there is no way he would let such a perfect tool as me escape his control!"

The women present all nodded in agreement. Though they had never interacted with that Tang God King, based on Tang San's actions alone, they could roughly guess what kind of god he was.

Di Qiu'er crossed her arms over her chest and spoke next.

"The God Realm really has encountered a problem. It has already lost contact with Douluo Continent. Just as Huo Yuhao guessed, at least for the time being, those so-called gods cannot do anything to Douluo Continent."

Di Qiu'er lifted her chin, looking like a proud beauty as she waited for the others to question her.

Yet to her surprise, after a brief moment of shock, Meng Hongchen, Wang Dong'er, and the others all turned their gazes in unspoken accord toward Gu Yuena standing beside her.

"Is what Di Qiu'er said true, Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena?"

Gu Yuena gave a slight nod, confirming that Di Qiu'er was telling the truth. This allowed Xu Tianzhen and Meng Hongchen to breathe a small sigh of relief.

The two women could not help but ponder inwardly. If the God Realm truly could not interfere in the affairs of Douluo Continent, then when the Sun Moon Empire went to war with the original three nations of Douluo Continent in the future, would that not mean Tang San would be unable to shamelessly intervene in person to stop the continent's unification just as the Sun Moon Empire was about to win, as Huo Yuhao had said before?

Even Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Ye Guyi had their own thoughts. Di Qiu'er, who had been ignored, felt somewhat displeased, but before she could say anything, Gu Yuena continued.

"I did not bring you all out to talk about this. I merely want to remind you that if all you think about is getting Huo Yuhao to mention your names ten times in the Diary without using your brains, then given how perceptive he is, he may figure out the truth before long."

"Some of you should have tried it already. Not only can we not tell outsiders that we possess Diary Copies, but we cannot let Huo Yuhao know either, correct?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Hongchen immediately agreed.

"I tried. I really couldn't say it."

Gu Yuena nodded without surprise and continued, "So, no one can guarantee what will happen if Huo Yuhao finds out. You do not want to lose the chance to obtain rewards forever, do you?"

Gu Yuena's words changed everyone's expressions. Meng Hongchen was better off, at least. She had claimed the first day's reward, elevating her martial soul to the Ultimate Ice level and even gaining a Soul Ring that could grow along with her strength.

But for the others, this was their first time appearing before Huo Yuhao. They had not received any rewards from the Diary Copy yet!

Wang Dong'er frowned at Gu Yuena and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Under the women's gazes, Gu Yuena still looked as detached and tranquil as ever.

"What I mean is that you had better act normally from now on. Do not make everyone lose out just for the sake of one day's reward. I do not wish to see that happen. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I've said what I wanted to say. Who agrees? Who objects?"

As Gu Yuena's words fell, the scene immediately sank into an exceedingly strange silence.

Everyone sized each other up, but no one wanted to be the first to speak.

However, from Gu Yuena's words, they could all feel the dominance belonging to her as the Silver Dragon King. Gu Yuena's meaning was already crystal clear: if anyone allowed Huo Yuhao to discover the truth and caused everyone to lose the opportunity to gain rewards from the Diary Copy in the future, she would absolutely not let that person off.

It had to be said that Gu Yuena's threat truly worked. Even knowing that Gu Yuena was currently injured, she was still the Soul Beast Co-Lord, capable of making the Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest obey her every command. Just how terrifying must her strength be? Even a legendary Ultimate Douluo might not necessarily be her match.

At least for now, no one was willing to experience Gu Yuena's terror firsthand. But that did not mean they would not complain inwardly.

What Silver Dragon King, what Soul Beast Co-Lord? Isn't she just lovesick too?

Just as they were silently mocking Gu Yuena, the Diary Copies in all the women's minds began to stir at the same time.

What new content did Huo Yuhao write this time?

After seeing Huo Yuhao deduce that the God Realm had encountered a problem from nothing more than subtle clues, these women with Diary Copies became even less willing to miss any new entries.

Even Gu Yuena no longer had the time to continue warning and threatening the others. She immediately checked the new content.

Well, well! I only came to the cafeteria for a meal, yet my food got knocked over. The most important thing is that the one who accidentally knocked over my food was actually Ju Zi, the future Sun Moon Empress of War? Though my experiences at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion over the years made me deeply distressed over the wasted food, Senior Sister Ju Zi apologized repeatedly and decided to treat me to a meal to make up for it. Sigh, I suppose I'll reluctantly accept.

Come to think of it, Senior Sister Ju Zi is a pitiful person too. I had expected to meet her at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, but I never thought it would happen this soon. So, what attitude should I take toward Senior Sister Ju Zi?

Looking at the latest content displayed in the Diary Copy.

Gu Yuena, Meng Hongchen, Wang Dong'er, Di Qiu'er, and the others all had the same thought flash through their minds.

Oh no, someone stole her home base!
