I'm Studying How to Replace Soul Masters

Mo Yuan naturally had no idea what Gu Yuena was thinking, but judging by that look in her eyes, he knew it definitely wasn't anything good.

So he reached out and grabbed her.

"What are you doing?" Gu Yuena waved her hand, trying to break free.

Unexpectedly, her strength failed to budge his palm at all. Instead, his grip tightened.

"Enough. If you just want to throw your life away, I won't stop you. But before that, let me separate Na'er out first. Afterward, even if you want to go and take the Eternal Heaven head-on, I won't care."

Mo Yuan spoke in a low voice.

"Throw my life away? What do you mean?" Gu Yuena frowned.

From the way he put it, was there actually something on Douluo Continent that could stop her?

Looking at the clear stupidity Gu Yuena had revealed along the way, Mo Yuan felt like he was about to laugh from anger. Sure enough, he shouldn't have placed too much faith in this woman's intelligence from the beginning.

"Hmph. Do you think that fellow Tang San would leave himself without any backup plans, like you did?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Yuena glared at him indignantly. Wasn't he calling me stupid?

(Mo Yuan: Isn't that what I meant?)

"Hmph, I can't be bothered to explain it to you. I'll put it simply. The current Plane Lord and Life Core of Douluo Star are Tang San's father, Tang Hao, and his mother, Ah Yin. Besides that, the seal inside Tang Wulin contains divine consciousness left behind by Tang San, enough for it to attack three times. So, with your current condition, do you still dare to go throw your life away?" Mo Yuan said bluntly.

Gu Yuena fell silent at his words.

The Plane Lord...

As far as she knew, the Plane Lord of Douluo Star should at least be at the Second-Level God rank. Although that wasn't very high, it was still far beyond what she could handle in her current state.

What was more, they were Tang San's parents. Who knew what hidden measures Tang San might have left for them? Not to mention that Tang Wulin still had Tang San's divine consciousness inside him.

"Phew... What should I do, then?" Gu Yuena suddenly felt a little lost, because she had abruptly realized that she really had no way out.

Without becoming a god, she couldn't oppose Tang Hao and Ah Yin, who were the Plane Lord and Life Core, or Tang San's divine consciousness. And without doing so, she couldn't obtain the Golden Dragon King's power.

Yet without the Golden Dragon King's power, becoming a god would be far too difficult. The ban imposed back then had targeted all beasts, and she was no exception.

"Heh heh. That's why your best choice is to cooperate with me."

"Hmph, why should I trust you?" Gu Yuena seemed to have suddenly remembered something. "Aren't you human? Logically speaking, once the God Realm returns, becoming a god should be no problem with your talent. Why choose to cooperate with me?"

She felt like she had suddenly grasped the key point.

Mm... Isn't it just me? My intelligence is indeed impressive.

"You're right, but unfortunately, Tang San and I aren't on the same side," Mo Yuan said coldly.

What a joke. After transmigrating here, who would want to become that fellow Tang San's dog?

It wasn't that Tang San's morality was irredeemably evil or anything. After all, that was merely a subjective judgment. Besides, Mo Yuan himself couldn't guarantee that he was any more of a moral gentleman than Tang San.

The most important point was that he didn't want to become anyone else's subordinate.

But our Tang San, the Buddha Ancestor Tang, was a tested and steadfast warrior of feudalism. There was obviously no way he would give up his rule over the God Realm.

In that case, there was no choice but to fight.

"Hmph, that sounds easy when you put it that way. Cooperate with you? But you don't look like a good person either. Wouldn't the Soul Beasts and I still have to act according to your wishes then? How would that be any different from the current situation?" Gu Yuena seemed to have become enlightened. Even the speed at which her mind worked seemed to have increased several times over.

"Then suit yourself. In any case, things can't get any worse for you, can they?"

Mo Yuan didn't indulge her in the slightest. He had never cared much about the Soul Beasts anyway.

The only one he was somewhat interested in was Gu Yuena. Apart from that, most of his interest came from Na'er.

Of course, he was also quite interested in the Dragon God's power. Otherwise, he wouldn't have drawn Tang Wulin's blood back then.

Or rather, in the world of Douluo Continent, if one wanted to reach the peak, the Dragon God was an unavoidable factor. After all, the Dragon God possessed the two most fundamental cosmic authorities that had existed since creation.

What was more, that old bastard the Dragon God didn't seem to be completely dead. He might resurrect at any time.

Since that was the case, he might as well cultivate a "Dragon God" himself, avoiding the possibility of the Dragon God faking his death and coming back to oppose him.

Besides, people were visual creatures, after all. Having someone pleasing to look at around him would put him in a good mood. Even if she were merely a vase, that would still be nice.

In any case, he had never denied the fact that he was a lecher.

"You—" Gu Yuena had already lost count of how many times he had angered her, but what else could she do? She could only endure it.

"As long as you can help me, I'll agree to anything. Is that good enough?"

Mo Yuan: "Alright, then. It's a deal?"

"It's a deal!"

Gu Yuena reached out her hand and shook Mo Yuan's firmly.

"Good. Since that's settled, come with me."

Mo Yuan stood up and led Gu Yuena to a Soul Guidance elevator.

After entering, Mo Yuan took out an identity card and swiped it through the card slot beside the elevator. A hidden button then popped out.

The floor displayed on it was "X."

Mo Yuan pressed it, and the elevator immediately began descending.

The Soul Guidance elevator descended for a full minute before finally stopping.

As they stepped out, a massive underground space appeared before them.

Robots could be seen moving about everywhere, along with enormous mechanical arms. Various Soul Guidance machines Gu Yuena had never seen before were also operating nearby.

"What? Surprised?"

Gu Yuena nodded. "I had no idea there was such a huge space beneath this building."

"There's still plenty you don't know."

Mo Yuan smiled.

He had only recently constructed this underground space, using it as an underground laboratory and factory.

After all, some things weren't suitable for being placed in plain sight.

No wonder the Herrscher of Reason's power was so overpowered.

He had returned to Eastsea City less than half a month ago. First, he had used Chen Xinjie's connections to acquire Building No. 9 as his base. Then, while renovating the Anti-Entropy Tower aboveground, he had also fabricated more than a hundred robots himself and excavated this underground space.

After leaving the Soul Guidance elevator, they immediately saw an enormous central control console. It was the core of the entire underground space and could control its operation.

"Amber, retrieve the Artificial Soul Spirit samples that were just placed in storage. Activate the Full-Spectrum Information Analyzer and begin reverse analysis."

Mo Yuan pressed a button as he spoke.

"Yes, Alliance Leader."

A familiar female voice rang out for Gu Yuena. It was the same female voice that had spoken with them through the Soul Guidance communications device back then.

"She's called Amber. She's the highest-level AI in charge of all the Anti-Entropy Tower's affairs," Mo Yuan explained.

At the same time, as his order was issued, the robots on standby began moving. They carried trays bearing unopened Soul Spirit spheres and, in order, loaded them into an instrument the size of an entire classroom.

Gu Yuena couldn't understand any of it, but fortunately, she had a mouth—and she was good at asking questions.

So she asked, "What are you doing?"

Mo Yuan smiled.

"I'm studying how to replace Soul Masters!"
