Gu Yuena Was Shocked and Swore: Li Qinglian, Who Had Comprehended the Great Dao of Life and Death, Had the Bearing of a God Lord

Silver light flickered in Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes.

She could sense an extraordinary power contained within Li Qinglian's body.

That power was not particularly strong, yet it made her heart palpitate.

"Hmm?"

"Na'er, your senses are way too sharp."

"Nonsense. I am the Silver Dragon King."

Gu Yuena rolled her pretty eyes.

"I can sense a very familiar aura from your eyes. It should belong to an old friend of mine, but it is definitely not the Goddess of Life."

Gu Yuena stared at Li Qinglian's eyes.

Li Qinglian activated his eyes at that moment.

Hearing her words, Li Qinglian activated the Pure Heart Eyes.

A faint white glow silently lit up in the depths of his pupils. In that instant, all the subtle things between heaven and earth that ordinary people could never perceive in a lifetime appeared clearly before his eyes.

The particles of Soul Power drifting through the air, the veins of moisture deep within the roots of plants, the trajectory of distant birds' wings beating...

"This is Goodness's power!"

"You have met the Goddess of Kindness?"

Gu Yuena's pupils contracted slightly.

She remembered this aura.

It belonged to the Goddess of Kindness, who was as renowned as the Goddess of Life and one of the Five Supreme Gods.

"Spirit Hall worships the Angel God, while the Goddess of Kindness is the Angel God's direct superior."

"These eyes were given to me by the Goddess of Kindness. They are called the Pure Heart Eyes."

Li Qinglian found a clean patch of grass beside the lake and sat down, patting the spot beside him to indicate that she should sit as well.

"Is that so? These Pure Heart Eyes are precious. They can not only let you see through the warmth and coldness of the human world, but also perceive the essence of all things. They can even clear your mind and calm your spirit."

Gu Yuena sat down beside him, her silver-white hair draping over the green grass as an unusual light flickered in her beautiful eyes.

She was even a little envious of Li Qinglian.

Human bodies were weak, but they were like blank sheets of paper, blank sheets that could be painted upon freely.

Li Qinglian had received the Goddess of Kindness's Pure Heart Eyes and could merge them into himself. But the Dragon Clan could not. Their powerful dragon bloodlines made them reject foreign things.

The Dragon Clan possessed the strongest innate physiques, but that also locked down their upper limit.

Humans were innately weak, yet the Human Clan actually possessed the highest potential.

In truth, this was very fair.

As heaven and earth turned, there could not possibly be a flawless race. Otherwise, there would be no meaning in the Creator creating other species.

Every living being between heaven and earth possessed its own unique fortune.

It was simply that the Dragon Clan and the Human Clan stood a little taller than the countless other races.

"Na'er, what do you think the Goddess of Kindness thinks of me?"

Seeing that Gu Yuena still showed no intention of offering anything, Li Qinglian gave a light cough.

"She treats you quite well."

"When the Dragon God still existed, Goodness and Life were two goddesses with a very good relationship. It is only natural that she would favor you because of that and give you a treasure."

"Na'er, your train of thought is really..."

Li Qinglian muttered softly.

Her emotional intelligence was a little too low.

He was speechless. His hint had already been so obvious.

No wonder, in the original plot, Gu Yuena had been completely wrapped around Tang Wulin's finger.

Li Qinglian had no choice.

Still, Soul Beasts always acted straightforwardly. No wonder women transformed from Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were almost immediately swept off their feet, even offering themselves completely and never betraying their partners.

"Pfft."

"You little rascal!"

"You want to ask me for a treasure, don't you?"

Gu Yuena finally caught on. Her silver eyes curved into crescents as her slender jade finger poked his forehead.

Only then did she completely understand.

"What else?"

"Na'er, if you want to invest in me, you have to put something in."

Li Qinglian crossed one leg over the other, leisurely enjoying the dappled sunlight filtering through the dense leaves.

The air by this Lake of Life smelled much better than the air around Spirit City.

If it were not so boring, Li Qinglian truly would not have wanted to leave.

Looking at the youth's lazy appearance, a trace of gentleness flashed through Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes, though she deliberately put on a stern expression.

"Li Qinglian, let me tell you something. I am very stingy. It will not be so easy for you to get a treasure from me."

She folded her arms over her chest, making her already full curves even more rounded and eye-catching. There was a hint of amusement in her silver eyes.

"You have to prove your value first, don't you?"

"I told you already. Although you becoming a God King would have some value to me, that still would not be enough!" Gu Yuena's expression turned solemn again.

Only if the God Realm produced someone like the Dragon God would it spare them. Otherwise, as long as the God Realm was not completely brain-dead, it could not possibly spare the Silver Dragon King and Golden Dragon King, beings a whole level stronger than the God Kings of the God Realm.

That was the bare minimum.

Gu Yuena understood this clearly. If Li Qinglian only became a God King in the future, then even if she played the emotional card with him, it would be useless.

Li Qinglian raised an eyebrow and wasted no words.

He stood up and released his Martial Soul.

The phantom of a colossal black tree slowly rose behind him. Its trunk was like black jade, every grain flowing with dim radiance and exuding a deathly aura so dense it nearly solidified. That aura spread in all directions. Wherever it passed, the grass and trees bowed slightly, and even the wind seemed to grow heavier.

However, when Gu Yuena's gaze fell upon the crown of the tree, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Among those branches, black as night, countless dense green leaves were unexpectedly scattered.

They were not flower buds, but leaves.

Emerald green, tender, and brimming with vitality, like new shoots emerging from scorched earth after a spring rain.

The green leaves spread layer upon layer among the dark branches. Every leaf shimmered with gentle life energy, forming an incredibly stark and utterly paradoxical contrast with the pure aura of death emitted by the divine tree.

Leaves of life had grown upon a tree of deathly stillness.

Gu Yuena abruptly stood up, her silver-white hair stirring without wind due to the violent turmoil in her emotions.

She stared at that emerald canopy. For the first time, a look of lost composure appeared on her peerless face.

"You... you have comprehended the Life Great Dao?"

Her voice trembled with disbelief.

A Death Divine Tree of pure death had actually grown an aura of life upon its deathly foundation.

"Life and death..."

"Life and death appearing together."

Gu Yuena murmured to herself, intense light flickering in her silver eyes.

"That is Reincarnation..."

She took a deep breath, then suddenly turned to Li Qinglian. The shock in her eyes gradually transformed into a blazing radiance.

She had originally believed that the greatest surprise Li Qinglian carried was the Pure Heart Eyes. Those eyes were indeed a treasure. They could allow Li Qinglian to distinguish loyalty from treachery, recognize good and evil, and, once cultivated to the extreme, even observe the microscopic flow of the world's laws.

But that was ultimately only a minor path.

As long as Li Qinglian's main power remained death, his upper limit would still only be that of a Death God King!

The Pure Heart Eyes could only help Li Qinglian avoid detours; they could not bring about a fundamental improvement in him!

But now!

Li Qinglian's core power had changed from death to death and life!

That was a qualitative transformation!
