Gu Yuena didn't want to inherit the Dragon God's wisdom
Back home, only Gu Ruiqiu was in the living room, snacking and watching TV.
When Gu Ruiqiu saw the two return, she was about to greet them, but she noticed that Gu Yuena looked absent-minded, as if her worldview had been Reshaping, so she raised an eyebrow.
She glanced at Gu Yuena, then at Huo Yuhao, a meaningful glint in her eyes.
"You went out to cultivate, but why do Master seem so lost? Huo Yuhao, what did you do to the Master? Tell me the truth!"
Huo Yuhao was speechless, and gently tapped Gu Ruiqiu's head with a chop to the head. "What are you thinking about? Na'er just heard some things that are beyond her comprehension; she needs time to process them."
Gu Ruiqiu looked unconvinced. "Overturn perception? What could possibly overturn the Master's perception?"
Despite saying this, she still looked at Gu Yuena, who was walking towards the sofa, with a curious yet worried gaze.
The Master's mood is indeed off.
Gu Yuena leaned back on the sofa, remained silent for a moment, and without directly answering the question, only said, "You didn't mean to..."
"Will you bestow upon yourself the Titled Douluo of Dragon God? I grant it."
Using "Dragon God" as Titled Douluo won't diminish anything for Gu Ruiqiu —after all, that person has already squandered most of their prestige, so what prestige do they have left?
Not only the Dragon God, but the Dragon Clan lost all its dignity because of their actions.
She only felt sorry for the dead mythical beasts and Dragon Clan, having to deal with such a group of superiors—
Upon hearing this, Gu Ruiqiu looked suspicious.
How did this get involved with the Dragon God?
Could it be that...?
"Does this mean they're planning to make me the Dragon God?"
Seeing Gu Ruiqiu's serious expression, Gu Yuena knew she was deliberately trying to lighten the mood. Her lips twitched slightly. "I'm fine. Just like Yuhao said, I'm just processing some information. But if you really want to inherit the Dragon God's position—"
Gu Yuena paused, her gaze strange, "You can have it too."
After being shocked by the Dragon God and Dragon King's outrageous actions, she thought about her own identity and realized that the Silver Dragon King represented the wise and rational side of the Dragon God. She felt extremely awkward and repulsed by this.
She doesn't want to inherit this kind of wisdom!
If word got out about the Dragon God Realm back then, she felt she would die along with the dragon god; in her eyes, the Dragon God's wisdom had become a derogatory term.
If someone were willing to take over the identity of the Dragon God and draw the enemy's fire, Gu Yuena thought it wouldn't be a bad idea.
"Well----"
Gu Ruiqiu looked surprised.
No, you really agree to me usurping the throne?
Well—I was just kidding, I can't become the Dragon God!
At this moment, Huo Yuhao poured a cup of tea, walked past the bewildered Gu Ruiqiu, and handed it to Gu Yuena.
Have you recovered yet?
"Yeah, I've calmed down a bit."
Gu Yuena took the teacup and sighed with a complicated expression.
"Actually, it's not too bad. After all, I didn't experience that era firsthand. I don't have that strong of a bias towards those Dragon Kings and— Dragon God. I can calm down after a while. But if it were Di Tian, Jia Lin, or the others—"
She's already in this state; what would happen if Di Tian and Jia Lin found out?
Knowing that the cause of the war that killed her parents was so absurd, what would Jia Lin think?
What would Di Tian think if he knew that it was the Dragon God who set the rule that Soul Beast could not become gods?
There are other Soul Beast ----
Gu Yuena gave a bitter smile, "I don't even dare to think about their reaction after they know the truth, or how they will see me. After all, I am the Silver Dragon King."
She naturally bears responsibility for the things the Dragon God does.
"Then we'll talk to them when you're ready." Huo Yuhao sat down next to Gu Yuena. "Ultimately, you are you, Dragon God is the Dragon God. The Dragon God left a mess for future generations; that's his problem, not yours. Because of your status, you can take responsibility for solving these problems, but you don't have to take the blame for him."
What's the difference between this Dragon God's actions and accumulating a mountain of debt only to walk away and leave the bills for his descendants to pay?
Gu Yuena was already being kind by paying off his debts. She wasn't Guo Ying, so there was no need for her to take on all the blame herself.
Gu Yuena looked up at him upon hearing this.
Huo Yuhao smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair. "And have you ever considered whether the loyalty and care that Di Tian, Jia Lin, and others show you is because you are the successor of the Dragon God, or because you are Gu Yuena?"
If it were the original novel, the answer might be the former, but the world is not like that.
Gu Yuena was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Gu Ruiqiu, who seemed oblivious to the situation. Her unease subsided considerably.
They were nominally ruler and subject, but in reality, they were family.
Even if they knew the truth, it wouldn't affect their relationship!
Seeing Gu Yuena's relieved expression, Gu Ruiqiu looked completely bewildered.
No, what are you talking about? What Dragon God or dragon king? What secret have you discovered? Can you explain yourself?
Riddler, get out of Douluo!
Seeing Gu Ruiqiu's somewhat dejected expression, Gu Yuena smiled and said, "I'll let you know when I've thought it over."
Although Huo Yuhao's persuasion had eased her mind considerably, she still needed to consider whether and when to tell him.
After all, if this news got out—she'd be dead.
To willingly reveal such horrific information to others—what kind of torture is that?
Gu Yuena muttered to herself.
Despite her thoughts, she knew she had to tell Di Tian and the others about these things; she couldn't keep them a secret forever.
Moreover, mastering the Elemental Divine Lightning and finding a way to solve the problem of the Soul Beast Tribulation Lightning also needs to be put on the agenda. She wants to solve the prohibition that "Soul Beast cannot become gods" from the root!
This is something she should do!
Seeing that Gu Yuena had finally understood, Huo Yuhao smiled and took out his Soul Guidance Screen, intending to collect some necessary Rare Metal for creating his Natal Soul Tool.
Just then, he suddenly saw a message from Tang Wulin along with an attached picture, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
He asked what the gun in the picture was.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the picture, considered a possibility, sent a message to Tang Wulin, then turned his gaze to Gu Yuena, his expression subtle.
"Na'er, what do you plan to do with the Golden Dragon Spear?"
I just saw the Dragon Clan Law Saber today, and now the Golden Dragon Spear has appeared. It's truly amazing. Since they are both Divine Tool formed from parts of the Dragon God's body, is there some kind of connection between them?
Gu Yuena was taken aback, then glanced at the Soul Guidance Screen in his hand, realized what was happening, and frowned.
"Is the Golden Dragon Spear on Tang Wulin?"
She fled immediately after her birth, leaving the Golden Dragon Spear behind. It's highly likely that it fell into the hands of the former Asura God or other deities of the Divine Realm. So, it's not so surprising that it's now sealed within Tang Wulin's body along with the Golden Dragon King God Core.
"That's right."
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Wulin said that Old Tang found it in his Spiritual Sea. They don't know what it is, so they specifically came to ask me about the origin of the Golden Dragon Spear. I've already told them that it's Divine Tool artifact. What are your plans?"
In the original story, the Golden Dragon Spear was given to Tang Wulin by his Old Tang after he broke through the sixth level of the seal, but this is not the case now. It is clear that Tang San's Divine Sense did not hand over the Golden Dragon Spear to Tang Wulin for some unknown reason.
Perhaps they were worried they would steal the Divine Tool?
But whatever Tang San's Divine Sense's considerations were, the current "Old Tang" obviously wouldn't care. After finding that the Golden Dragon Spear was not dangerous, he took it out.
Gu Yuena for a moment and said, "Let him have it. Although the Golden Dragon Spear was formed from the Dragon God's rib, no one but the Dragon God can unleash its full power, including me. And when one cannot exert their full strength, the Golden Dragon Spear is more suitable for the Golden Dragon King. For me, the Silver Dragon Spear is more appropriate."
At this point, Gu Yuena paused, then changed the subject to another matter, "Yuhao, last time you told me that the Golden Dragon King Seal has broken through to the eighth level?"
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Yes, it's already the eighth floor."
After resolving Tang San's Divine Sense issue, Wulin broke through the Golden Dragon King Seal, and even broke through two layers directly. Even from the seventh layer onwards, when the seal was set by the God King of Evil, the breakthrough process was still smooth and risk-free. It is evident that, unknowingly, Wulin's accumulation and strength have reached a considerable level.
However, according to Wulin, it may not be just due to accumulated experience and strength.
In the past, when he broke through the seal, the Golden Dragon King always liked to make a little noise, but this time when he broke through the seal, he did not make any noise, which made his breakthrough very easy.
Huo Yuhao had reason to suspect that when they sealed Tang San's Divine Sense, the Golden Dragon King's Remnant Soul enjoyed watching, so he was magnanimous this time.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena seemed to be deep in thought, thinking to herself: The eighth level—it seems that the time to extract the Divine Core is not far off.
She had prepared herself to extract the Golden Dragon King God Core several years ago.
The Golden Dragon King's eighteen-layer seal was laid down by three God King working together, with certain flaws existing between each six-layer seal. Considering Tang Wulin and Xiong Jun, and their friendship, she did not act when the sixth layer of the seal was broken, but planned to wait until the last six layers to retrieve the Divine Core and recover the Golden Dragon King's core power.
Although the matter of the Dragon God bothered her somewhat, the power was innocent. The Golden Dragon Spear was not a necessity for her, and she could refuse to take it back out of consideration for their years of friendship. However, the Golden Dragon King God Core contained God Rank power, which was unacceptable.
That was real power, the key to her increasing strength.
Moreover, as the one left behind by the Dragon God to deal with the mess, Gu Yuena felt she would be at a loss if she didn't take the power left behind by the Dragon God.
Huo Yuhao, observing her expression, roughly guessed what she was thinking and smiled inwardly. Then he saw that Tang Wulin had sent another message.
"Yuhao, since the Golden Dragon Spear is Divine Tool, it doesn't feel right or safe for me to keep it. Why don't you take it?"
Is this because they're worried someone will steal the Divine Tool?
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow.
Unlike the original story, Wulin has seen a lot in the Spirit Pagoda over the years. He knows how to keep a low profile and doesn't act so ostentatiously. He also knows the saying "possessing a treasure can be a crime," so when faced with a windfall, his first thought is to consider the risks involved.
Does this mean he truly inherited his skills?
Thinking it over, Huo Yuhao replied, "You can keep it. You're Xiong Jun's disciple. Even if they know you have Divine Tool, no one in the Federation would dare to openly steal it. If you're really worried, just don't use it in front of outsiders. There's no need to give it to me."
Gu Yuena had no intention of retrieving it, and he had even less interest in the Golden Dragon Spear.
The Heavenly Burning Divine Pestle is more suitable for him than the Golden Dragon Spear. He already has a similar devouring ability to the Golden Dragon Spear, so there's no point in using it. He's not a skilled spearman, so why would he need to wield both a long spear and a short spear?
If he really wanted Divine Tool, the Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Halberd would be the best choice. He was also very interested in that Super Divine Tool from the Abyss - after all, it was one of the top Super Divine Tool designated by Douluo 4, and even the Little Dragon God praised it after using it.
Therefore, his goal was clear: to find a way to kill the Abyssal Sage King and seize the Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Halberd.
Let's leave the Golden Dragon Spear to Wulin; he's quite skilled with it.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao sent another message.
"Now that you have the Golden Dragon Spear, don't waste it. You can learn the Spear Dao."
Become a spearman, Wulin!
Your luck rating in the original work was E, it probably isn't this time.
In the building next to the Mingdu Spirit Pagoda, Tang Wulin's family had already moved in. At this moment, Tang Wulin looked at the message sent by Huo Yuhao and first glanced triumphantly at Old Tang beside him.
"See? I told you Yuhao definitely wouldn't want it."
When he wanted to ask Yuhao about the Golden Dragon Spear, Old Tang reminded him that although he didn't remember, he vaguely knew that the spear was very precious and that he should be careful not to let anyone covet it.
But what about now?
He offered to let Yuhao keep it, but Yuhao refused and even considered things perfectly for him.
Old Tang took a deep breath and nodded seriously, "I was being petty and judging others by my own standards."
Although Tang Wulin described Huo Yuhao as a very good person, this was only his side of the story. Old Tang had no memory of Huo Yuhao, so he held reservations and remained cautious.
But now it seems he was overthinking it.
Although he didn't remember the Golden Dragon Spear, he vaguely knew that it was a weapon that even gods would covet, yet Huo Yuhao showed no interest in it, which made him completely lower his guard.
Such character is undoubtedly worthy of being a close friend.
At the same time, Old Tang also thought of something else.
His predecessor actually had a falling out with such a person; he truly was a wicked man!
After his initial triumph, Tang Wulin felt somewhat melancholy.
He genuinely felt it was inappropriate for the Divine Tool to be in his own hands.
After all, based on what Old Tang and Yuhao said, the quality of the Golden Dragon Spear is not low among Divine Tool. If it arouses the greed of evil people, he, a One-Word Battle Armor Master, may not be able to protect it.
"However, Yuhao is right. There shouldn't be anyone in the Federation who would take action for Divine Tool artifact—so I don't need to worry too much."
As Tang Wulin muttered to himself, he saw Huo Yuhao's last message, advising him to study the art of the Spear Dao, and fell into deep thought.
Spear Dao?
He hadn't thought about this issue before.
He had always used Blue Silver Grass or the power of the Golden Dragon King —at most, he would use a forging hammer or a spear, something dexterous; he never thought he would actually use them.
But now that the Golden Dragon Spear is in his hands, he can't just leave it there as a decoration, can he?
Using such Divine Tool as mere decoration is far too extravagant.
But where can he learn to shoot? He can't just figure it out on his own, can he?
The Spirit Pagoda houses Sword Dao families, and the Sword Intent Sword Soul, and sword Sword God are likely to achieve the same goal as Spear Intent Spear Soul, Spear God. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to consult them.
