As Luo Chen's words fell, Gu Yue's body suddenly stiffened, and she gradually grew wary.

When... had he found out?

Should I kill him?

Conflict, wariness, dread, fear-all kinds of emotions tangled together in Gu Yue's mind.

Outside the sky screen, almost everyone was stunned!

Inside the Worship Hall, Qian Renxue remained dazed for a long time.

"The Silver Dragon King? Is this girl a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form? But why haven't so many Peerless Douluos seen through her identity?"

Inside Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong sat upright on the pontiff's throne.

"A hundred-thousand-year soul beast took human form and fell in love with Luo Chen?"

Bibi Dong had seen this sort of thing several times already, but compared with Luo Chen, those other two men's tastes could only be described as bizarre.

Tang Hao and Blue Silver Grass, Tang San and a rabbit...

Beside Bibi Dong, Hu Liena pursed her rosy lips in displeasure.

"If he wants a soul beast, he'd be better off choosing me! This Gu Yue definitely doesn't know as much as I do! And she's not as skilled as me, either!"

Bibi Dong had just been lost in thought, but the moment she heard Hu Liena's words, her expression darkened.

Her disciple was wonderful in every way, except...

Why was she so eager to throw herself at him?

Meanwhile, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang Hao stroked the little blade of grass beside him.

"Dating a soul beast? As if Luo Chen were worthy!"

"The Silver Dragon King? The Silver Dragon King is only fit to carry my Ah Yin's shoes!"

Ten thousand years later, in the Peerless Tang Sect era.

Di Tian turned to look at his lord, then raised his head to look at Gu Yue.

He couldn't help wondering, Is this really my lord? Her identity has been exposed, yet she isn't silencing him?

Has my lord really fallen in love with that human?

And how did this human learn her identity? Surely she didn't tell him herself?

Even the Silver Dragon King herself was puzzled.

"Wait, what is my future self waiting for ten thousand years from now? Splitting myself in two is one thing, but how did both halves fall in love with this human?"

Inside Shrek Academy, almost everyone was cursing Luo Chen. As a human, he had actually fallen in love with a soul beast!

"I'm telling you, soul beasts are our mortal enemies! Anyone who falls in love with a soul beast is our enemy!"

Xuan Zi appeared in the air above Shrek Academy and declared loudly.

After the beast tide, Shrek City had suffered devastating losses, and many students had died in it.

The Shrek students nodded one after another, declaring that they could never share the same sky with soul beasts.

Only one person was an exception.

Hearing those words, Wang Dong'er felt disgust toward Shrek Academy for the first time!

She even wanted to leave Shrek Academy and go find Luo Chen!

In the Divine Realm, the Sea God, the God of Destruction, and even the imprisoned Golden Dragon King froze.

They had never expected the Silver Dragon King to be hiding on the Douluo Continent! They knew better than anyone what that name meant!

Tang San in particular thought, If she's the Silver Dragon King, doesn't that mean the terrifying presence I sensed deep inside the Star Dou Great Forest back then was her?

I absolutely won't allow an existence that can threaten the Divine Realm to remain alive! Especially not on my Douluo Continent!

Meanwhile, elsewhere, the God of Destruction was still trying to persuade the Goddess of Life to join him against Tang San.

"Xiao Lu, don't you understand yet? Under Tang San's leadership, our Divine Realm will only get worse and worse."

Yet the Goddess of Life was unwilling to get involved in these matters.

"Xiao Zi, we're God Kings. How can we fight among ourselves? Besides, what that human said isn't necessarily true. He's only a human-how could he possibly know about the deaths of God Kings?"

The Goddess of Life still found it hard to believe.

The God of Destruction could do nothing about that, either. If only Luo Chen could visit Devil Island.

Then they would know at a glance whether it was true or false.

Within the sky screen, the awkward atmosphere in the car persisted. After composing herself, Gu Yue asked tentatively.

"Since you already know, are you going to kill me?"

Her voice was full of nervousness. Even Gu Yue herself had never imagined that, as the Silver Dragon King, she would ever feel so nervous.

"No. I'm not Tang San, saying one thing to your face and doing another behind your back. He said he'd never kill soul beasts again, but then he kept slaughtering them without a care, and soul beasts even went extinct under his rule."

Luo Chen answered casually.

Sea God Tang San's reaction to those words was: ? What's that supposed to mean?

"Then what do you mean?" Gu Yue asked again.

"I can help you restore the soul beasts and let them coexist peacefully with humans," Luo Chen said.

"That's impossible!" Gu Yue suddenly grew agitated.

"Ten thousand years ago, Di Tian believed Huo Yuhao and founded the Spirit Pagoda with him. That's what led to the tragedy soul beasts face today!"

Di Tian's reaction to those words was: ? I had a hand in founding the Spirit Pagoda, too?

"I have my own path to follow. Since we've laid everything out, those who walk different paths cannot work together," Gu Yue said, her voice slightly hoarse.

She turned away, intending to teleport herself out through space.

But just then, tears spilled down despite her efforts to hold them back.

Why?

I'd already made up my mind to leave after returning from the Star Luo Empire.

This was only a little earlier...

But...

I really...

Just as Gu Yue was about to teleport away, Luo Chen used the Ice Ancestral Talisman and froze the space around them.

"The Myriad Beast Platform can't save soul beasts, but I can," Luo Chen said.

Gu Yue's eyes widened in disbelief. To her, those words were even more shocking than his seeing through her identity.

"Even if you revive every soul beast with the Myriad Beast Platform, all you'll do is extend the time they have left."

"The root cause of the soul beasts' extinction has nothing to do with humans!" Luo Chen said firmly.

"Then what do you say it has to do with?"

"The Divine Realm, because it has a rule: soul beasts cannot become gods!"

Outside the sky screen, every soul beast that heard those words let out a deafening roar.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, Di Tian, the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, and many others-even the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm inside Huo Yuhao's body did the same.

In an instant, whether ten thousand years ago or twenty thousand years ago, the roars of soul beasts resounded across the entire Douluo Continent.

"The Divine Realm has long since ceased to exist. Even if it still existed, we soul beasts couldn't become gods!"

Although Gu Yue didn't understand why Luo Chen knew so much, she spoke with absolute certainty about the Divine Realm.

Even an existence like her would be suppressed by the Douluo Continent's Plane Master.

At this point, Luo Chen revealed a satisfied smile and played his final trump card.

"There are only two ways for soul beasts to become gods. The first is to cultivate anew as humans, allowing them to inherit a divine position, like Ah Yin or Xiao Wu twenty thousand years ago."

"And the other way..."

Luo Chen paused here, then continued.

"Absorb the Golden Dragon King bloodline, become the Dragon God, and create a Divine Realm of your own!"

Hearing this, Gu Yue stared fixedly at Luo Chen and spoke in a voice full of menace.

"Aren't you afraid that after I become the Dragon God, I'll harm humans and this Douluo Continent? After all, soul beasts went extinct at human hands!"

Luo Chen merely smiled faintly. He already had his answer.

"You won't."

"Why?" Gu Yue asked in confusion.

"Because I believe in you."
