A streak of golden light descended upon the Old Divine Realm in an instant.

The next moment, everyone within the Old Divine Realm was sent back to where they belonged.

The Undead World, the New Divine Realm, and the Old Divine Realm instantly formed a three-legged balance of power.

The next moment, a massive light-screen video instantly appeared in every deity's mind. It was none other than the Wenxin Livestream.

Just as all the deities were wondering why this light-screen video in their minds looked so much like the Sea God Tang San exposé video that had suddenly appeared earlier-

[Wenxin Livestream]

The four enormous words appeared in an instant.

[Detected that this world seeks to re-form the beast dao... The beast dao's controller, Dragon God (deceased), will be represented in the heart-questioning by the inheritor of his power, Second-Generation Life God King Gu Yuena:]

[This heart-questioning is special, as people from different times and spaces are all present.

(Douluo I era) Wounded Soul Beast Co-Master:

(Peerless Era) Silver Dragon King:

(Dragon King Era, separate transformed forms) Gu Yue, Na'er:]

The instant the Wenxin Livestream's notice appeared, the gods of the Divine Realm were dumbfounded.

"The Silver Dragon King!"

"The golden and silver dragons split from Dragon God back then-we thought the Silver Dragon King had vanished. To think she'd been here all along!!"

"The Golden Dragon King already walked an invincible path. Even the Asura God King had to borrow the power of two God Kings to match him. If another Silver Dragon King came along... Fortunately, the Golden Dragon King has already disappeared, and all his power has... Wait, the Golden Dragon King's power seems to still be around..."

Terror filled everyone's eyes. Back then, the Golden Dragon King alone had nearly overturned the entire Divine Realm-and that had been just one of them. If the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King joined forces, would the Divine Realm really have any reason to exist?

Whatever the gods thought, when the Wenxin Livestream revealed it, four pillars of light came from the Douluo World. Those same four pillars also appeared in the times and spaces they inhabited, instantly setting off an uproar.

Within the Heart-Questioning Space.

The Silver Dragon King swept her gaze over Gu Yue and Na'er, intense hostility and disdain flashing through her eyes.

Had boundless fury not been pent up inside her, she would have slapped these two future selves to death.

Hum~!!!

Just then, beneath a shroud of dazzling golden light, a goddess brimming with exceptionally rich life force slowly descended into the Heart-Questioning Space.

Countless tens of thousands of years later, Gu Yuena was no longer the Soul Beast Co-Master, nor the Silver Dragon King. Through her status as the Tang Family's daughter-in-law, she had gone from an unregistered outsider in the Divine Realm to a legitimate figure, becoming its Second-Generation Life God King.

Her eyes no longer held the Soul Beast Co-Master's hatred, nor the viciousness of the Peerless Era's Silver Dragon King. She no longer bore the responsibility Gu Yue had carried during the Dragon King Era: to lead the Dragon Clan to revival and the Soul Beast Clan to ascendancy.

She was the Goddess of Life, one of the Divine Realm's original Five Great God Kings.

A thick halo of saintly benevolence radiated from her. Her eyes held all the Divine Realm's living beings, yet the Dragon Clan and the Soul Beast Clan alone were absent.

She had forgotten the Dragon Clan's proud backbone. She had bowed her head to the Divine Realm. She had submitted to God King Tang.

Whoosh~! Whoosh~!! Whoosh~!!!

The instant the Second-Generation Life God King appeared, pairs of eyes filled with fury, brutality, blood-red killing intent, and hatred appeared.

"So this is Wenxin?"

"So this is why Authentic Yuhao went mad...??"

"The reason Wulin went berserk???"

God King Gu Yuena slowly raised her beautiful eyes and looked before her, at four past selves in different states and forms, spanning the Douluo I era to the Dragon King Era...

When those pairs of eyes brimming with hatred, fury, and killing intent appeared-

God King Gu Yuena's heart trembled, and her gaze instantly shifted away. Unease faintly flashed through her heart. Those eyes pierced straight into her innermost self.

They came from herself, from her past selves. She dared not open her eyes, afraid that everything was...

Whether human or god, what one feared most was facing one's past self, because no one understood one's former self better than oneself-especially when there truly was guilt within.

"Second-Generation Life God King Gu Yuena... die!"

"Traitor to the Dragon Clan! You worthless wretch who forgot your roots and betrayed your trust... You shouldn't be alive in this world!!"

"Silver Dragon Claw!!! Silver Dragon Spear!!!"

The next moment, something no one had imagined or anticipated happened: upon seeing the future Second-Generation Life God King Gu Yuena, the Wounded Soul Beast Co-Master of the Douluo I era and the Silver Dragon King of the Peerless Era unleashed killing moves without the slightest hesitation.

The Wounded Soul Beast Co-Master raised her hand, forming a Silver Dragon Claw.

The Silver Dragon Spear formed in the Silver Dragon King's hand, and an enormous silver dragon phantom shone in an instant.

Their eyes held fury, hatred, and, above all, intense killing intent.

Feeling those two streams of pure killing intent and sensing the two attacks lock onto her in an instant, God King Gu Yuena turned pale.

The next moment, the Life God King's God Position trembled behind her, and the dazzling Super Divine Artifact, the Life Scepter, instantly appeared in her hand.

Hum~!!!

A dazzling green shield of light, formed from terrifying life force, appeared in an instant, directly blocking the Soul Beast Co-Master and the Silver Dragon King.

"If we're here for heart-questioning, then question our hearts! Why... why are you attacking!"

Hearing God King Gu Yuena's words, the Wounded Soul Beast Co-Master and the Silver Dragon King instantly lost their composure.

"Why?"

"You're asking why??"

"Have you done right by your origins? Have you done right by the bloodline within you?? Have you done right by all our efforts and sacrifices???"

Hearing their words, God King Gu Yuena closed her eyes...

"The Soul Beast Clan is too brutal!"

"The Dragon Clan is too wild!!"

"I... I've thought it over. The Dragon Clan and Soul Beasts... truly aren't suited to the Divine Realm!!!"

Hearing God King Gu Yuena's words, the Wounded Soul Beast Co-Master and the Silver Dragon King completely lost their composure.

"Bullshit!"

"Is the Soul Beast Clan too brutal, or are the gods of the Divine Realm hypocrites!!"

"Is the Dragon Clan too wild, or have the gods of the Divine Realm taken over the magpie's nest like cuckoos!!!"

Hearing God King Gu Yuena's words, Gu Yue and Na'er could no longer sit still either.

Gu Yue stepped forward.

"God King Gu Yuena, I don't want to know why you became like this!"

"Right now, I only want to ask: has the Dragon Clan... been revived??"

Hearing Gu Yue's words, God King Gu Yuena instantly lowered her head.

Gu Yue's expression darkened, and she spoke again in a grave voice.

"Then what about the Soul Beast Clan?"

"Has the Soul Beast Clan risen??"

Hesitation flashed through God King Gu Yuena's eyes, and then the light in them dimmed completely.

God King Gu Yuena's persistent silence instantly told everyone the answer.

"The Dragon Clan-you didn't revive the Dragon Clan!"

"The Soul Beast Clan-the Soul Beast Clan hasn't risen!!"

"Then what are you still alive for???"

Gu Yue raised her hand, and the power of the nine great elements appeared in an instant.

"Kill her!"

At this point, Gu Yue had not yet fused with Na'er. She could be considered a Soul Beast Co-Master, a Silver Dragon King... without humanity, and only partially whole at that. By the Dragon King Era, almost all her injuries had healed. Her sole shortcoming was that she had split off part of her power to create Na'er, leaving her without her bound weapon, the Silver Dragon Spear.

As Gu Yue joined the battle, the balance between the two sides shattered instantly. The Silver Dragon Claw raked savagely across God King Gu Yuena's body, while the Silver Dragon Spear pierced straight through her.

"God King Gu Yuena, is it better to be the Soul Beast Co-Master or the Tang Family's daughter-in-law!!!"
