Gu Yuena: Please...

"What did you say?!"

Gu Yuena instantly bristled at those words, but when she remembered the strange weapon Mo Yuan had brought out earlier, she immediately backed down.

No, that wasn't right. What backing down? This king simply wouldn't stoop to arguing with an ordinary person.

"Heh..." Looking at Gu Yuena, who clearly wanted to get angry but was acting timid instead, Mo Yuan suddenly felt as if he were teasing a kitten.

"Huh? What are you looking at?" Seeing Mo Yuan's gaze, Gu Yuena suddenly felt as if she had been offended.

"Fine, I won't keep you in suspense. Let's get straight to the point. Hmm... I'll call you Gu Yue, to distinguish you from Na'er." Mo Yuan sat up straight and looked at Gu Yuena beside him. "I know your identity, your origins, and your purpose. I even know more secrets than you do. So, you really don't need to regard me as an enemy or anything else. After all, from a certain perspective, our goals don't conflict, do they?"

"Heh, human, why should I believe you?" Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes and looked at the young man dangerously.

"You're free not to believe me. But Na'er is inside you, after all. If you refuse to cooperate, I'll have no choice but to use a little force."

Mo Yuan stretched out his hand, and a black feather slowly took shape in his palm. It was none other than Mimetic Fenghuang Down.

"Wait, wait, wait!" The moment she saw the feather, Gu Yuena instinctively sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly called out to stop him.

Mo Yuan didn't take any further action. After all, this wasn't the real Fenghuang Down, but merely a Divine Key mimicked through the data and authority he possessed. It was nowhere near capable of displaying the full effects of the Divine Keys' rated power.

Still, it was more than enough to frighten her.

"Hmph. Since you claim to understand me, then tell me exactly what you know." Gu Yuena crossed her arms and challenged him.

She really didn't believe that this fellow, whose age wasn't even a fraction of a fraction of hers, knew anything about her.

Right, this was someone who wouldn't shed a tear until she saw the coffin.

Seeing this, Mo Yuan stopped wasting words and directly laid everything out before her.

"Of course I know about you, Silver Dragon King, half of the Dragon God. Back then, the Dragon God was cleaved in two by the Asura God, becoming the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. The Golden Dragon King fought to the death in the God Realm and refused to retreat, and was ultimately sealed in the God Realm Forbidden Land. The Silver Dragon King, meanwhile, tore open space and came to the Douluo Continent to recover from her injuries. But the Asura God's divine power was too overbearing, so the Silver Dragon King had to recuperate for a long time before barely recovering. During that period, the Silver Dragon King's power leaked out and affected some of the beasts on the Douluo Continent, turning them into Soul Beasts. Thus, the Silver Dragon King could also be called the ancestor of the Soul Beasts."

"And not long ago, the Silver Dragon King finally recovered from her injuries. Unable to bear seeing the Soul Beasts on the verge of extinction, she prepared to lead them in defeating humanity, reclaiming the Douluo Continent, and eventually returning to the God Realm to take revenge on those human deities."

"Am I right, Lady Silver Dragon King?"

"You..." Gu Yuena was speechless.

How do you actually know all that?

"Heh, are you surprised? What I know goes far beyond that. Gu Yue, do you know why the God Realm disappeared?" Mo Yuan asked with a smile.

Gu Yuena's pupils contracted.

She truly didn't know the answer to that question. She could only sense that the God Realm's aura had vanished, but she didn't know why it had disappeared.

It was precisely because of this opportunity that she had dared to come out and make trouble. Otherwise, even after recovering from her injuries, she would have only dared to plot in secret.

"Do you want to know?"

"Yes, of course I do!" Gu Yuena blurted out without hesitation.

"But why should I tell you?" Mo Yuan countered.

"Isn't the point of you telling me this that you want to cooperate with me?" Gu Yuena asked.

"Heh, then you're overestimating yourself. I don't think cooperating with you would bring me any irreplaceable advantages or benefits." Mo Yuan shook his head. "In fact, I think you're more likely to become a burden to me."

"Then what do you want?" Gu Yuena's teeth nearly cracked from how hard she was clenching them. It was the first time she had ever found someone so infuriatingly smug.

"Fine. For Na'er's sake, I'll tell you if you beg me." Mo Yuan smiled.

"You!" Gu Yuena was about to lose her temper again, but her curiosity ultimately won out.

"Fine. Consider it my asking you, all right?"

"Tsk." Mo Yuan clicked his tongue and deliberately made things difficult for her. "That has absolutely no sincerity. Do it again."

Inhale—exhale—

Gu Yuena's chest heaved violently as she frantically consoled herself inwardly.

Don't get angry... Don't get angry...

"Please, tell me why."

"Hmm... That's more like it. Since you've asked so nicely, I'll reluctantly tell you." Seeing that she had chosen to submit, Mo Yuan didn't make things too difficult for her. After all, gaining someone's obedience wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight. It required taking things slowly.

He organized his thoughts, then explained, "You should know about the Temporal Turbulence, right?"

"Temporal Turbulence!"

Gu Yuena exclaimed in surprise. Clearly, she still knew what the Temporal Turbulence was.

"In short, the God Realm went through a Temporal Turbulence. Combined with some internal strife, it was ultimately swept away by the Temporal Turbulence."

"Internal strife?" Gu Yuena became extremely sensitive the moment she heard those words.

"That's right. It began with a conflict between the Asura God and God of Destruction, one of the God Kings who governed the God Realm. Later, the God of Destruction came to his senses and joined forces with his wife, the Goddess of Life, to resolve the Temporal Turbulence around the God Realm. But at that moment, the Golden Dragon King in the God Realm Forbidden Land suddenly broke through his seal and engaged the Asura God in battle. At the critical moment, the other two God Kings intervened and used the Tri-Realms Judgment Sword to grievously injure the Golden Dragon King. Knowing that victory was impossible, the Golden Dragon King infused his Bloodline and all his remaining power into the newborn son of the Asura God, Tang San, hoping to make him explode from the strain and take revenge on Tang San."

"Tang San quickly sealed that Bloodline. To prevent the seal from breaking prematurely after absorbing too much immortal spiritual energy, he sent him to Douluo Star, where no immortal spiritual energy existed."

Mo Yuan told Gu Yuena the entire legend of the God Realm in one breath.

"Golden Dragon King's Bloodline?" Gu Yuena immediately thought of that fellow called Tang Wulin.

Mo Yuan glanced at her, naturally knowing what she was thinking at that moment. "That's right. As you suspect, Tang Wulin is Tang San's son, and the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline is sealed inside his body."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena could no longer sit still. If what he said was true and the God Realm had already been swept away by the Temporal Turbulence, then what could possibly stop her?

Once she devoured the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline and allowed the Dragon God to descend once more, what could possibly stand in her way across the entire Douluo Star?

She knew the Dragon God's power all too well.

When that time came, heh heh...

Gu Yuena glared viciously at Mo Yuan.

Damn you. How dare you make me beg you? When the time comes, I'll make you pay!
