"Only this possibility!!"
A cold glint flashed in Gu Yuena's violet eyes as she declared majestically,
"I have decided to emerge from seclusion at once and investigate personally!!"
However, the moment her words fell,
"My lord, absolutely not!!"
Di Tian hurriedly cupped his hands and tried to stop her, saying respectfully,
"You have slept for ten thousand years and are unaware of the current situation outside..."
As he spoke, he recounted the intelligence he had gathered thirty or forty years ago.
The continent was now filled with powerful human experts, with two Rank 99 Peerless Douluo holding the fort.
One was Qian Daoliu, the Grand Pontiff of the Angel God, while the other, Tang Chen, was the inheritor of the Asura God King.
Everyone knew that such Grand Pontiffs and inheritors were closely watched by the gods.
Should my lord encounter them, there was a high chance that the gods behind them would notice her. It was far too dangerous!
If my lord wished to emerge into the world, she had to wait until the continent's experts were completely cut off from the God Realm!!
"Impudence!!"
Gu Yuena's tone abruptly turned icy as she rebuked him,
"Di Tian! Are you defying me?!"
Terrifying dragon might swept outward, making the entire crystal palace tremble.
"Hiss! This subordinate would not dare..."
Di Tian's bones creaked under the pressure, leaving him completely unable to move.
"Hmph, I say Di Tian is just too cowardly!!"
Xiong Jun chimed in gruffly, his face full of dissatisfaction.
"My lord is so wise. Do you really think she cannot think of what you can think of?!!"
"I, Xiong Jun, am willing to accompany my lord. If any humans dare obstruct us, I'll tear them apart myself!"
He had never accepted Di Tian's control over him in the first place, and whenever he found an opportunity, he had to throw out a few barbs.
"Zi Ji..."
Seeing that the situation was turning bad, the usually gentle Bi Ji glanced at Zi Ji.
Zi Ji immediately understood and respectfully stepped in to defuse the situation.
"My lord, Di Tian only has your best interests at heart. Why not let this subordinate make the trip?!"
"Even if this subordinate is noticed by an expert connected to the gods, they will never suspect you!"
"Once I determine the true nature of that bloodline power, my lord can decide what to do then!"
Myriad Demon King and Scarlet King silently nodded.
They seemed to agree that this was the safest approach.
"Go quickly and return quickly! I give you only two and a half days!!"
After pondering for a moment, Gu Yuena reluctantly nodded, still somewhat displeased.
"This subordinate will not fail your expectations!"
Zi Ji's figure flashed, and she vanished from the hall.
"Pah! A bunch of useless cowards!!"
Xiong Jun glared at the other savage beasts and cursed under his breath in dissatisfaction.
Gu Yuena was equally displeased, her tone cold.
"All of you, withdraw. I am somewhat weary!!"
As her words fell, a powerful aura spread out.
The pressure forced the savage beasts to obediently retreat.
The disturbance temporarily subsided. Behind a crystal pillar in the corner of the hall,
Three-Eyed Golden Lion watched in secret, her golden vertical eye blinking with curiosity.
"Golden Dragon King Bloodline power? From what they said, it seems I have a trace of it in my body too?!"
"Sigh, I've been here for five thousand years. It's so boring. I wonder what the outside world is like..."
Meanwhile,
Outside the Star Dou Great Forest, dusk was falling.
The moment Ye Han and the other two left the forest, he suddenly remembered something.
Right, he still had not activated the roulette draw he had just obtained!
After thinking it over and seeing that it was nearly dark, Ye Han said,
"Guyi, it's getting dark. Why don't we find an inn and rest for the night? You've worked hard taking care of me all day. You must be tired too."
Hearing this, Ye Guyi rubbed his little head.
"Alright. Let's find an inn and settle down first."
Xiao Wu followed behind them listlessly.
The sour feeling in her heart had yet to fade, so she did not interrupt.
Before long,
the three of them found an inn by the roadside.
A sign hung outside, bearing the name—Forbidden Manga Heaven!
"This name..."
The corner of Ye Han's mouth twitched. Good lord.
Ye Guyi and Xiao Wu did not find anything strange about it.
The place was lively inside. The innkeeper came forward with an apologetic smile.
"Are the three of you looking for rooms? I'm terribly sorry, but there's only one room left tonight."
"It's a shared room with two large beds. Would that be acceptable?"
Ye Guyi nodded slightly and tossed over two and a half Gold Soul Coins.
Men and women should keep their distance, so naturally she would mind sharing a room with a man.
But Xiao Han was only a child. What improper thoughts could he possibly have?
"Certainly! It's Room 91!"
The innkeeper's eyes lit up at the sight of money, and he immediately handed over the key with great respect.
"Uh... this room number too..."
Ye Han's face twitched again.
Where the hell did this bring me?!
Is this even a proper inn?!
Not long after,
the three of them arrived at Room 91.
The room was cleanly furnished, with two beds separated on either side.
It worked out perfectly: Ye Guyi and Xiao Wu could share one bed, while Ye Han took the other.
Once they were settled, Ye Han prepared to activate the Codex Roulette and begin drawing.
But at that moment, Ye Guyi suddenly sat down beside his bed.
Remembering what Xiao Han had said, she asked curiously,
"Xiao Han, can you tell me more specifically about that mysterious place you mentioned, the one that can increase one's strength?"
As Ye Guyi suddenly leaned close, waves of fragrance drifted from her body.
A normal man would never be able to endure being alone in a room with a woman like this, right?
"Cough!"
Ye Han gave a dry cough and turned his face away.
Even if he could not endure it, he had to. He was still a boy!
Facing her question, Ye Han answered without hesitation.
"Guyi, that place is called—the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well!"
"It is an unparalleled treasure basin formed after the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King fell. It is filled with heavenly treasures and rare herbs!"
A look of shock flashed through Ye Guyi's beautiful eyes.
"The Ice Fire Yin Yang Well?!!"
"Legend says that the Sea God and his companions obtained an opportunity there, laying the foundation for their ascension to godhood!"
"But it was lost in later generations, and everyone assumed it was only a legend! Xiao Han, do you know its exact location?!"
Ye Han nodded firmly.
"It is deep within Sunset Forest. Starting from here, with Guyi's speed, we can reach it in two and a half days at most!"
Joy rose in Ye Guyi's beautiful eyes.
Yet she did not ask further questions. She simply said gently,
"Alright. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning. For tonight, get some proper rest."
After saying that, she returned to the other bed, her heart filled with anticipation.
If she obtained that opportunity, would she have the confidence to change the fate of Spirit Hall's destruction?!
It was time!
Ye Han crawled beneath the covers and summoned the system.
"Genshin Impact... pfft!"
"Douluo Catalog Roulette, activate!!"
[Ding—!] [Douluo Catalog Roulette, beginning selection!] [Note: The system will randomly draw nine times for the host's final selection!]
The instant the cold mechanical voice rang in his mind,
an inscrutable roulette appeared within his sea of consciousness.
The roulette was densely packed with squares of varying sizes.
They contained character and item entries from the five-part Douluo world series!
[Ding! Ding! Ding ding ding...]
After nine consecutive chimes, a panel appeared.
[Ding—!] [Selection complete. Please choose, host:] ╭───Choose Two of Nine───╮ 1. "Character · Meng Hongchen" 2. "Character · Ju Zi" 3. "Character · Feng Ling" 4. "Character · Ye Xishui" 5. "Character · Long Xiaoyao" 6. "Character · Ma Xiaotao" 7. "Item · One random offensive Soul Tool, minimum Rank 8" 8. "Item · One random defensive Soul Tool, minimum Rank 8" 9. "Character · Tang Ya" (All are from the era of Douluo Continent 2: The Unrivaled Tang Clan) ╰───────────────────────╯
"So many character options???"
Ye Han stroked his chin and pondered.
"They all seem to be popular characters from Douluo 2, but I wonder what their exact circumstances are?"
"And these two Soul Tools—if I randomly get a Rank 10 Soul Tool, I'll be invincible right away!"
But suddenly,
another panel appeared.
[Ding—!] [Important information before selection:] 1. The host's current strength is still at the starting stage. At most, you may choose "two options" from these. The number of selections will increase as the host's strength rises! 2. Unselected items will not disappear completely. They will be stored in "Historical Records." Once the host reaches a certain level of strength, the "Review History" function can be unlocked, allowing the host to spend new roulette attempts to choose items that were not selected previously. 3. The drawn items above have two selection modes: 1. Preset Mode: Receive them directly. The states of characters and items will be randomly determined according to the original work's settings, including age, strength, and time period. Loyalty will also be random, but they are guaranteed not to harm the host. 2. Simulation Mode: Using the characters and items above, generate an independent simulated story centered on the host. After it concludes, the host may lock in any point in that story and determine the final states of characters and items. Their strength, age, and identity will be fixed rather than random. Loyalty will likewise be determined by the simulation, but they are guaranteed not to harm the host. [So, what is your choice?] 1. "Preset Mode" Directly choose two options and receive them, with their circumstances randomized! 2. "Simulation Mode" Begin the simulated story first, then choose what to receive afterward!
