At that moment, Gu Yuena simply could not believe it. The reason was simple: although she was a divine beast and rarely used weapons like spears, she was still, after all, an incarnation of the Dragon God.
She had seen the Dragon God fight with weapons before. Spears were also a familiar weapon to her. Even if she was not exceptionally skilled, she was still a first-rate expert. Yet Morax had defeated her with a single thrust.
Gu Yuena had not even clearly seen Morax move. Morax was so fast it was unbelievable, perhaps even faster than the Dragon God had once been. His technique was exquisite as well, ending the battle with a single strike. It was completely beyond Gu Yuena's understanding.
Though the Dragon God was not a beast deity particularly skilled in weapon-based combat, he had still been a formidable figure capable of fighting the Five God Kings.
When it came to weapon combat, his knowledge was absolutely no joke. Yet Morax had effortlessly defeated him in an instant. That was simply too outrageous. The Dragon God's weapon skills had definitely been at the level of a First-Class God, yet Morax had still dispatched him in one strike. It was far too absurd.
"Gu Yuena, your technique is quite good, but you are too arrogant. You made no preparations at all, believing yourself to be very powerful. I could clearly see that your movements were fluid, and your preparatory stances were excellent. They were all the movements of a first-rate martial artist. But you are too arrogant."
"You believed that being a first-rate martial artist meant you could draw with any opponent or defeat them. That is your weakness. Arrogance will destroy you. You need to understand that arrogance will ultimately ruin everything. Only by calming yourself and viewing everything equally can you become strong. At the beginning, you thought you could at least draw with me, but you never expected me to end the battle so quickly. Your weakness is that you think too highly of yourself."
As Morax spoke, he was genuinely giving his opinion. Gu Yuena's preparatory movements truly were those of a first-rate martial artist; they were indeed not bad. However, Morax's weapon skills were also exceptionally high.
Gu Yuena had truly been too careless. Arrogantly, she believed that even if she could not win, she could at least force a draw. She had never expected Morax to end the battle so swiftly and catch her off guard.
That was why Gu Yuena had been defeated by a single thrust.
"I..."
At that moment, Gu Yuena understood that what Morax had said was true.
[Gu Yuena's spear technique in the third part of Legend of the Dragon King was no joke, but isn't Gu Yuena far too arrogant? Just like in Legend of the Dragon King, she believed she would not be assimilated by humanity and could ultimately defeat humanity. Yet she never expected her subordinate personality to be moved by humans and take humanity's side, ultimately harming the Soul Beasts as well. Too arrogant. Honestly, Gu Yuena is a character I really dislike.] [As their leader, she failed to help the Soul Beasts win the most crucial battle and even harmed them. In the end, she caused her loyal subordinate Di Tian to be turned into an Ecological Battleship. That is absolutely unforgivable. Shrek Academy also persecuted Soul Beasts, yet she ultimately became a student of Shrek Academy and even considered it an honor to be a Shrek student. What a joke.] [To be honest, I really cannot find anything to like about Gu Yuena as a character. Even if she is beautiful, beauty is not a reason to disregard the facts. Gu Yuena is truly an awful character. As the leader of the Soul Beasts, she harmed them. Over all these years, as the Soul Beasts' situation worsened, she made no changes at all. In the beginning, Soul Beasts saw humans as food, and humans were merely food for Soul Beasts. But as humans gradually gained Martial Souls and began developing Soul Masters, and after the Angel God was born, the Soul Beasts' advantage gradually vanished. Yet she never thought of changing the Soul Beasts' way of survival to suppress humanity.] [You have to know that the Soul Beasts' top-tier combat power at the time included two level-99 Ultimate Douluos, Snow Empress and Di Tian. If the two of them had joined forces, humanity would have had no way to suppress the Soul Beasts. Yet such a great opening was wasted by Gu Yuena and the others. Later, humanity completely suppressed the Soul Beasts, and the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest and the Far North found their living conditions becoming increasingly dire. As a leader, Gu Yuena ignored the Soul Beasts and only thought her own recovery could solve everything, ultimately ruining them.] [The Fierce Beasts who led the Soul Beasts were also far too arrogant. They did not choose to suppress humanity before it had developed, allowing humanity to rise. That was another major mistake. The Fierce Beasts bore some responsibility, but Gu Yuena bore the greatest responsibility. That is why I truly cannot have any favorable impression of Gu Yuena as a character.] [The Spirit Pagoda created by Di Tian and Dai Yuhao had initially only been intended to ease relations between humans and Soul Beasts. Yet it unexpectedly became an organization that harmed Soul Beasts. There was nothing that could be done about that. After all, Soul Spirits really could improve the Soul Beasts' circumstances in the beginning. Who could have known that a Qiangu Clan would suddenly emerge?] [Di Tian and that guy Dai Yuhao did make some mistakes in creating the Spirit Pagoda, but fundamentally, they did it for the Soul Beasts. It could be said that he was the true Beast God. I say, if he had been the Silver Dragon King during the final battle, they might have actually won!]
When Meng Hongchen and the others saw this content, they did not know what to say. In any case, as long as the Diary updated in their Sea of Spirit, they could see it.
Meng Hongchen sighed helplessly at that moment. The Soul Beasts' top combat power was indeed formidable, but their technological weapons had not developed very well, and their leader was terrible. It could only be said that their highest leader was the worst possible leader, harming the Soul Beasts. Di Tian was far too pitiful. He alone was the true Beast God.
Even as a human, Meng Hongchen felt that Di Tian was too pitiful. Gu Yuena, as a leader, was simply so terrible that it was beyond reason.
Gu Yuena was furious at that moment, but there was nothing she could do. Morax's Diary was too authoritative, so no one could refute it.
At that moment, Gu Yuena also felt that perhaps she really was too terrible.
[Speaking of which, if things follow the original timeline, Dai Yuhao might be about to go find the Ice Empress.] [Tian Meng wants to achieve immortality together with the Ice Empress. That guy should know it already, considering he has been reborn.] [When the Snow Empress was rebuilding herself in human form, she was plotted against and secretly harmed. In the end, she was trapped in the God-Sealing Platform and mistaken for the embryo of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. No one expected her to be a Fierce Beast. Let me put an end to this awful outcome. Dai Yuhao, do not blame me. You are simply too disgusting.]
The women: Count me in!
