[The people of Shrek found the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and Gu Yuena recovered part of her memories.]

[During the Abyss Plane's first invasion, she burned her soul's flame to save Tang Wulin, driving back the Abyssal Sage King before falling into a deep sleep.]

[While she slept, Na'er's consciousness controlled her body.]

[After Tang Wulin was drugged in the Star Luo Empire, Na'er awakened Gu Yue. Gu Yue and Tang Wulin slept together, helping him break through to Titled Douluo.]

[Once Gu Yue awoke, she realized with even greater pain that she and Tang Wulin could never truly be together.]

[At the Spirit Pagoda's tournament for her hand in marriage, she tearfully rejected Tang Wulin's proposal and left him "gravely wounded."]

[She established the Myriad Beast Platform, revived the soul beasts, and became the youngest Spirit Envoy and Pagoda Master in the Spirit Pagoda's history.]

[She then went to the Far North as a Major General to fight the Abyss Plane. With the help of Tang San's ten-thousand-year plan, she successfully absorbed the Abyss Plane and brought about the Douluo Plane's evolution.]

[After the war, she rejected Tang Wulin's proposal again.]

[Through Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirits and the Myriad Beast Platform, she controlled most of humanity's high-level fighters and held overwhelming power.]

[It seemed the outcome was settled.]

The world of Douluo I.

Di Tian stood frozen.

Was this love-struck fool really the Master?

But in the end, the Master really had seized control of most of the human world's power.

Of course the Master was right. I simply couldn't grasp her world-shaking wisdom!

Bi Ji: ...

She felt Di Tian was beyond saving too.

But the Silver Dragon King was the most stunned of all.

She murmured:

"Something feels wrong?"

"But the outcome seems right. I ended up controlling the human world!"

The world of Douluo III.

The Spirit Pagoda.

Qiangu Dongfeng flipped a table in fury:

"So Gu Yue was a soul beast in human form!"

"And she eventually became Pagoda Master? Did the whole Qiangu Family become a joke?"

Qiangu Zhangting protested, "Father, maybe there's been a misunderstanding?"

Qiangu Dongfeng slapped him. "If you'd won Gu Yuena over like Tang Wulin did, we wouldn't have all this damned trouble!"

Qiangu Zhangting felt wronged.

He looked at his father resentfully.

It wasn't as though I had the Golden Dragon King Bloodline!

Monster Academy.

Dai Yun'er was dumbstruck.

"I was involved too?"

"I drugged him and ended up bringing Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin together?"

"Was I the real joke?"

On the ship.

Xie Xie wore a wicked grin:

"Well, Captain!"

"So you got the girl!"

Tang Wulin blushed.

Under everyone's teasing gazes, he fled the Deck and hurried back to the Cabin to find Gu Yue.

Meanwhile.

In the bedroom.

Gu Yue pulled the covers over her head.

"I actually did that with Wulin..."

"But now that my plan's been exposed, the Spirit Pagoda probably won't tolerate me anymore. Looks like I'll have to abandon it..."

"What a shame. My plan could have worked!"

[At the final battle, events took a turn no one expected: Gu Yuena arranged for Tang Wulin to pierce her heart with the Golden Dragon Spear.]

[Overcome with grief, Tang Wulin shattered the Extreme Cold Ice that restrained the Golden Dragon King Emotions and died alongside her.]

[When she was sealed in ice, Gu Yuena was already carrying Tang Wulin's child.]

[Gu Yuena's life had been torn between duty and love.]

[She was the Soul Beast Co-Ruler, yet she fell in love with a human.]

[She had once stood against humanity, yet she crossed her own boundaries again and again for Tang Wulin.]

[In the end, she chose death to fulfill their love and secure peace between soul beasts and humans.]

The world of Douluo I.

The Star Dou Great Forest.

Every soul beast stared in bewilderment.

Hold on.

You already had the upper hand.

Why would you choose to fight like that?

Was this really the Soul Beast Co-Ruler?

Di Tian was stunned too.

A moment ago.

He had wondered whether he simply failed to understand the Master's world-shaking wisdom.

The next moment.

He was dumbfounded.

Why would the Master die for love with a human?

Did all the soul beasts mean less to her than one Tang Wulin?

Then what did everything we'd done amount to?

Had the Master truly inherited the Dragon God's world-shaking wisdom?

For the first time, he began to question the Master.

Seeing how hard Di Tian had taken it, Bi Ji comforted him:

"That happened in a future timeline. Everything can still change!"

Di Tian nodded numbly.

The Silver Dragon King was stunned as well.

"My future self died for love with a human?"

She couldn't understand how her future self thought.

What was so good about humans?

Could one really be that captivating?

As far as she was concerned, this had to be Tang San's scheme.

Maybe I fell into his trap.

It definitely wasn't my fault!

Heaven Dou City.

Qian Renxue sighed:

"Being blinded by love is terrifying!"

She silently warned herself that, as Spirit Hall's Young Master and its hope for the future, she must never become as love-struck as the Silver Dragon King.

At those words.

Phainon nearly spat out his tea, while Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao could barely keep straight faces.

Seeing Phainon's reaction, Qian Renxue asked in puzzlement:

"Phainon, what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

He waved a hand.

A love-struck fool calling love-struck fools terrifying? What kind of twisted joke was that?

The world of Douluo III.

"So if you can't let me go, why keep lying to yourself?"

"Even if I have to stand against the whole world with you, I don't care!"

"Gu Yue!"

Hearing Tang Wulin's words.

Gu Yue froze.

She hadn't expected that, although she would eventually bring peace between humans and soul beasts, she and Tang Wulin would both die.

After a silence, she said, "Wulin, we can't be together."

She didn't want Tang Wulin to die.

If her death alone could achieve her goal, she would gladly accept it.

It was her responsibility.

But Tang Wulin was innocent.

Tang Wulin understood what troubled Gu Yue.

He said:

"I inherited the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. I have a responsibility to help the Soul Beast Clan survive too."

"Trust me!"

Gu Yue had yet to react when the fragment of Tang San's Divine Sense inside Tang Wulin nearly broke down.

Old Tang thought:

Damn that Sky Curtain. My ten-thousand-year plan was going perfectly.

Now Wulin's thoughts are entirely on the Silver Dragon King.

If this disrupts the plan involving the Abyssal Sage King, we're in trouble.

[This review has ended. Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena has received the following rewards:]

[The effects of the Asura God Sword and all other injuries have been removed.]

[The rule preventing soul beasts from becoming gods has been removed.]

[The Silver Dragon Spear has been upgraded to a Super Divine Artifact: the Silver Dragon God Spear.]

The world of Douluo III.

Feeling Gu Yuena's terrifying aura rise without end inside the Cabin.

Old Tang went numb.

A God King-level being had just appeared?

Even his true body would face a bitter fight against her, let alone a mere fragment of his Divine Sense.

Tang Wulin was dumbfounded.

He hadn't known how powerful Gu Yuena was at her peak.

Now he finally felt it.

"This time, the Soul Beast Clan and Wulin—I'm keeping both, no matter what!"

Gu Yuena appeared before Tang Wulin again.

She looked inside him.

Then she said:

"God King Tang, won't you show yourself?"

The Abyss Plane.

The Abyssal Sage King stared at the Sky Curtain:

"I fought the Silver Dragon King? Seriously?"

The moment he saw that the Sky Curtain had healed the Silver Dragon King's injuries, he ordered the abyssal army to flee!

A God King-level being was far beyond anyone I could challenge!

The world of Douluo I.

They saw that the Master of the future had received three rewards.

Di Tian froze.

This was the first he had heard of a rule preventing Soul Beasts from becoming gods!

Was that rule why he could not cross that threshold?

Beyond that, the increase in the Master's own strength was even more outrageous.

The Master had originally possessed God King-level strength.

She had only been limited by injuries she had yet to recover from.

Once the effects of her injuries from the Asura God Sword and the like were gone, even if the Plane Master absorbed the Abyssal Sage King, he could never match the Master!

What was more, the Master would have the Super Divine Artifact, the Silver Dragon God Spear, in the future!

Her strength would climb another level.

Had the Master foreseen all this?

The road was rough, but the outcome was good!

He could not help envying his future self a little.

He got to sit back and do nothing!

The Silver Dragon King, still recuperating, was even more shocked:

"Did my future self stumble into the right answer?"

The future Silver Dragon King's astonishing feats had no effect on Heaven Dou City.

After Phainon arranged rooms for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong,

the next day,

Phainon's Clothing Store opened for business again.

Once Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, those two walking clothes hangers, put on the yellow-and-purple work uniforms Phainon had designed, they sparked another wave of sales.

People kept asking, "Those two look just like Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao from the Sky Curtain. Where did you find them, shopkeeper?"

Most people assumed Phainon was cashing in on the Sky Curtain's popularity.

But a few were not so easily fooled.

"They've both appeared on the Sky Curtain. I saw quite a few customers recognize them."

"Phainon, aren't you worried someone will come knocking?"

Qian Renxue could not help asking.

She had not expected Phainon to actually make the two of them shop assistants!

She had thought he was joking yesterday.

Phainon waved a hand and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"If the sky falls, won't someone taller be there to hold it up?"

"Anyone who dares cause trouble in Heaven Dou City would have to answer to Your Highness first, wouldn't they?"

Phainon felt as though he had opened an antique café in a safe zone, packed with extraordinary people.

A God King's daughter, a future God King...

Though his place was a clothing store.

Qian Renxue curled her lip. So he was using her as a shield.

She would have to clean up his mess when the time came.

But with Phainon's strength, who could touch him?

She was about to say more when the Sky Curtain shifted again.
