Gu Yuena: You're Actually My Son

Lake of Life.

Gu Chen and several other ferocious beasts followed Di Tian into the most mysterious place within the Star Dou Great Forest—the slumbering grounds of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

Their master was recovering from her injuries here.

Upon reaching the outskirts of the Lake of Life, Di Tian dismissed the other ferocious beasts and led Gu Chen inside alone.

"Master, the young master has arrived."

Di Tian came to the shore of the Lake of Life and bowed respectfully.

Then, the waters of the Lake of Life churned. Gu Yuena, with her long silver hair and long legs, walked toward them, her deep violet eyes fixed intently on Gu Chen.

This boy actually possessed both her bloodline and the Golden Dragon King's bloodline.

How was that possible?!

Thinking this, Gu Yuena softly asked, "Child, can you tell me where your bloodline came from?"

Di Tian, standing beside her, also looked over, filled with curiosity about the origins of the Dragon God Bloodline.

Gu Chen immediately fabricated an identity for himself.

He came from another time and space, tens of thousands of years removed from this timeline. He had specifically returned to this era to save the Soul Beast Clan and revive the Dragon Clan. His true identity was Gu Yuena's son.

For now, this explanation was the most reliable, and the one most likely to convince Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena's beautiful face instantly froze.

She had never expected to have a son. But she was clearly still an unmarried maiden—where could a son have come from? This was complete nonsense.

Yet if that was not the case, where had his Dragon God Bloodline come from?

Could Gu Chen really be her son?

"Th-this..."

Di Tian, standing nearby, was dumbfounded as well. He could not believe it was true.

Their master actually had a son.

Gu Chen coughed, clasped his hands behind his back, and explained, "Ten thousand years from now, human soul tools will have developed into Battle Armor. Among humanity's strongest, there will already be people capable of threatening Di Tian. After my mother, Gu Yuena, awakens, she will decisively enter the human world to study human cultivation methods and integrate into human society, searching for an opportunity to revive the Soul Beast Clan."

"Along the way, she will fall in love with a human who possesses the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, while the great plan to revive the Soul Beast Clan steadily progresses.

But at the critical moment, she will abandon the revival of the Soul Beast Clan and choose to die for love alongside the one she loves. Only another ten thousand years later will I come into existence."

"So, you're my mother!"

After hearing the short story, both Gu Yuena and Di Tian could not stop their mouths from twitching.

Seriously?

Could their master do something like that?

Impossible. Absolutely impossible!

"Am I really that stupid?"

Gu Yuena's voice carried anger as she refused to acknowledge that she would ever fall in love with a human.

The exalted ruler of all soul beasts, the great Silver Dragon King, falling for a human, bearing a descendant with the Dragon God Bloodline alongside a human, and abandoning the revival of the Soul Beast Clan.

Who could possibly keep it together after hearing that?

For a moment, Gu Yuena even felt she had failed the Nine Dragon Kings and the Dragon God.

At that moment, Gu Chen looked up at Gu Yuena and said, "Mom, you do. That's exactly what you did. If I could take you to the future right now, I'd definitely let you see what happens tens of thousands of years from now."

Gu Yuena fell silent.

If Gu Chen's words were true, then she really would make such a foolish mistake ten thousand years later. She would become a sinner of the entire Soul Beast Clan and Dragon Clan.

Beside her, Di Tian sighed softly, accepting the future fate of the soul beasts.

But no matter what, the young master's arrival was a good thing. It was like giving the Soul Beast Clan another breath of life.

The revival of the soul beasts was right before their eyes.

Di Tian suggested, "Young Master, why not stay in the Star Dou Great Forest to cultivate? Once you are strong enough, we can revive the Dragon Clan again and fulfill the mission our former master entrusted to us."

Gu Yuena nodded in agreement. "You are my son, and our bloodlines are connected. Why not remain here and cultivate? I have enough life energy here to let you cultivate to God Level."

But Gu Chen did not agree.

If he stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest, how was he supposed to show off?

Gu Chen immediately said, "I'm going to the human world to change the fate of our Soul Beast Clan, so I must leave."

As soon as he said that, Di Tian and Gu Yuena found themselves in a difficult position.

They believed the human world was dangerous.

Although Gu Chen possessed the Dragon God Bloodline and carried an ultra-divine artifact, if anything truly happened to him, it would be a catastrophe for the Soul Beast Clan.

The Soul Beast Clan could not be without the Dragon God!

Besides, the young master's idea seemed to be following their master's old path.

Di Tian advised, "Young Master, the human world is very dangerous. If anything happens to you, our Soul Beast Clan will be finished."

Gu Chen said, "I know what I'm doing."

Di Tian sighed.

He could not persuade him. He really could not.

Whether it had been that master back then or the young master now, he had never successfully persuaded either of them.

Everything was predetermined.

Gu Yuena smiled lightly beside them. "Your personality is rather like mine. If you want to venture into the human world, we cannot stop you. But the Soul Beast Clan will give you as much help as possible."

"Di Tian, where is your reverse scale?"

Di Tian understood instantly. He took a Black Dragon Reverse Scale from his chest and handed it to Gu Chen. "Young Master, this is my reverse scale. As long as you carry it, I can appear to save you anywhere on the continent. Even an Ultimate Douluo will never be able to kill you."

Gu Chen did not stand on ceremony and put the Black Dragon Reverse Scale away.

As expected of Di Tian, the ultimate demon king protector.

Then Gu Yuena took out a pendant and handed it to Gu Chen, saying gently, "Your mother is the same."

Gu Chen happily accepted it. "Thank you, Mom."

Gu Yuena's beautiful face reddened slightly when she heard that.

She was still an unmarried maiden, after all. Being sincerely called Mom by a young man was still somewhat embarrassing.

No matter what, Gu Chen was now her son. The protection of a reverse scale alone was not enough.

Gu Yuena turned to Di Tian and said solemnly, "Bring the auspicious beast here."

"Yes!"

Di Tian did not hesitate. He turned and left the Lake of Life to find the auspicious beast, who was currently eating.

Within minutes, the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the amber-colored Three-Eyed Golden Lion with dragon-like five claws, was brought to the Lake of Life.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion blinked and looked at her beautiful master. "Master, were you looking for me?"

Gu Yuena bent down and stroked the auspicious beast's head, asking gently, "Auspicious beast, are you willing to contribute to the Soul Beast Clan?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement.

Gu Yuena said, "Then lend me your Fate Power to protect the growth of your future master."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion became alert almost instantly. She sharply turned to look at Gu Chen, and human and beast locked eyes.

She froze.

This person actually possessed the bloodlines of both masters. It was simply unbelievable.

"Are you still willing?" Gu Yuena asked.

After hesitating repeatedly, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion replied, "I am willing."

There was no choice now.

Even if she were unwilling, her master would still share her Fate Power to protect the young master.

Since things had come to this, what meaning was there in resisting?

Gu Yuena immediately turned back to Gu Chen and said seriously, "Let me introduce her, Mom's son. This is the auspicious beast of our Star Dou Great Forest. She possesses the legendary Fate Power and is a beast of great fortune. Her fortune can be drawn upon."

"As long as you obtain the auspicious beast's Fate Power, fate itself will protect you in ways unseen. It can keep you safe. Begin the connection now."

Happiness came too fast, like a tornado, leaving Gu Chen completely stunned.

Was this what Gu Yuena was like as a mother?

The Soul Beast Clan truly deserved its reputation for going all in. They had arranged so many opportunities for him right from the start.

However, connecting to Fate Power seemed like it would tie his fate to Wang Qiu'er's, and Gu Chen hesitated.

But when he remembered that he already possessed the Dragon God Bloodline, why should he fear a mere Tang God-King?

Thus, Gu Chen said, "Alright! Let's begin."
