As she lay gravely wounded and dying, Heart-Piercing Words drifted through the Heart-Questioning Space.

God King Gu Yuena's face suddenly paled, and she spat a great mouthful of blood into the air.

God King Gu Yuena shook her head wildly.

"No, that's not how it was."

"Soul beasts destroy things, and the Dragon Clan is belligerent..."

"They're no longer suited to the Divine Realm. They'll make a terrible mess of everything. I've already found someone suitable to lead them somewhere suited to them..."

After hearing God King Gu Yuena's words, the expressions of the Wounded Soul Beast Co-Master, the Silver Dragon King, and Gu Yue all changed drastically.

Their faces were stunned, their eyes incredulous, as though they had never imagined God King Gu Yuena would say such things.

"Bastard, shut up!"

"God King Gu Yuena, you've forgotten your duty to revive the Dragon Clan and raise the soul beasts to greatness! You've forgotten our Dragon Clan's glory! You've forgotten that the Divine Realm belonged to our Dragon Clan in the first place! Not just the Divine Realm-even the entire world belonged to us!!"

"You've forgotten how, when the Dragon God split apart, the First-Generation Asura God struck us with the Asura Blood Sword Slash! That bone-deep agony, that tearing pain that reached into our soul, left you recuperating in the Douluo World for who knows how many millions of years!!!"

(ps: the millions of years here depend on when the first soul beast was born in Douluo. After all, wasn't it said that most soul beasts were created by the Silver Dragon King? It's been so long that I've forgotten this bit of lore. Anyone who knows can fill me in, and I'll revise it.)

"You're one of the mighty Dragon God's divided halves, bearing the duty of reviving the Dragon Clan and raising the soul beasts to greatness! Now you're telling me that not only did you become God King Tang's Daughter-in-Law, the First-Generation Asura God's successor, but you also have to call a rabbit and a blade of grass your father-in-law and mother-in-law! Have you no shame?!"

"What do you mean, soul beasts only destroy and covet? What do you mean, the Dragon Clan is belligerent, the Divine Realm is no longer suited to our Dragon Clan and our soul beasts, and we have to live somewhere else? How is this any different from ceding territory and paying reparations? You're handing over your own stronghold as compensation, leaving everything to the deities who took over our nest like cuckoos! The Divine Realm was ours to begin with, and so was this world! What kind of reasoning is that!!"

"The proud bones of the Dragon Clan have been ripped out of you! You've bowed the Dragon Clan's proud head before the Divine Realm! You've bowed before God King Tang!!!"

Boom!!!

The instant the Wounded Soul Beast Co-Master, the Silver Dragon King, and Gu Yue furiously denounced God King Gu Yuena within the Heart-Questioning Space, everyone watching the Wenxin Livestream was dumbfounded.

"The First-Generation Dragon God created the world, and the Silver Dragon King came from the Dragon God splitting apart?"

"Holy shit, I thought... the first three were already outrageous enough, but the fourth came out swinging with something this outrageous and blood-pumping??"

"This was the legacy the Dragon God fought to build, yet you, God King Gu Yuena, just abandoned it and forgot it whenever you pleased. Much as I hate to admit it, if all of this is true, God King Gu Yuena really is something else."

When the Successive Soul Beast Co-Masters, the Silver Dragon King... lost their composure and furiously exposed the truth, no one could keep it together.

Just thinking about how the Wounded Soul Beast Co-Master of the Douluo I Era had laid the foundations for the Dragon Clan and the soul beasts.

The Silver Dragon King of the Peerless Era had developed those foundations to their peak.

In the Dragon King Era, they had wanted to revive the Dragon Clan and the Soul Beast Clan.

Yet God King Gu Yuena had buried it all, then said that soul beasts were brutal and greedy, the Dragon Clan was belligerent, and the Divine Realm no longer suited them. Who could keep their composure at that?

"No... that's not... that's not how it was."

"The Dragon God left instructions. Until a new Dragon God appeared, the Dragon Clan... the Beast Clan... were forbidden to ascend to the Divine Realm."

(ps: there's too much lore, fuck, the author has already lost it. I need to look things up. Just bear with it, everyone. If you fill me in, I'll make revisions.)

Before God King Gu Yuena could speak, the furious trio immediately interrupted her.

"Then why are you in the Divine Realm?!"

"Then why did you defy the Dragon God's will and become a god?!!"

"You betrayed the Dragon Clan, abandoned the Soul Beast Clan, became God King Tang's Daughter-in-Law, and whitewashed the Dragon Clan blood in your veins! To cling to your own wretched life, you abandoned everything for your prospects and became the Life God King you are today, didn't you?!!!"

Boom!!!

God King Gu Yuena's delicate body swayed again and again. She wanted to defend herself, wanted to explain, but the words stuck in her throat, and she found she could not get them out.

She wanted to explain that a new Dragon God had already appeared, but when she thought of the current circumstances of the Dragon Clan and the Soul Beast Clan, she found it difficult to speak...

She had been wrong. She had gone wrong a very, very long time ago.

But God King Gu Yuena did not regret it. Faced with her furious selves from then on, God King Gu Yuena could only compound one mistake with another and stubbornly keep going, because she realized she had long since lost the ability to turn back.

"That's not how it was, that's not how it was! I only did this to protect everyone."

"The Dragon Clan, the soul beasts... so many tens of thousands of years have passed. Hasn't this been fine?"

"Besides, I've already been working on changing things. We simply haven't seen the results yet!!!"

Just then, Na'er stepped forward.

"Why did you help other people instead of Older Brother? Did you forget he was your beloved?! You're not worthy!! I regret it!!!"

God King Gu Yuena immediately fell silent at those words.

"Wulin had already gone mad then. What he needed wasn't someone to support him. As his wife, his beloved, what I needed to do was help him regain his senses!"

Almost instantly, everyone glared at God King Gu Yuena.

The Wounded Soul Beast Co-Master, the Silver Dragon King, and Gu Yue flew into a rage, their eyes blood-red.

"Wenxin, they outnumber me... this isn't fair!"

God King Gu Yuena immediately panicked.

[Special Wenxin detected. A participant is at imminent risk of death. God King Gu Yuena may invite one deity to assist her in battle.]

God King Gu Yuena was instantly overjoyed.

"Husband, come help me!!!"

Inside the Destruction Temple.

The Second-Generation Destruction God King Tang Wulin instantly clenched his fists, his gaze falling on Na'er, who had remained in a corner without the slightest presence. In that instant, the guilt in his heart finally put an end to his hesitation.

Step!!!

God King Tang Wulin stepped into the Heart-Questioning Space.

"Enough!!!"

With that explosive shout, terrifying God King Pressure instantly swept through the entire Heart-Questioning Space.

God King Gu Yuena looked at God King Tang Wulin in delighted surprise.

"You came!"

God King Gu Yuena wanted to embrace him.

"When you call me, I always have to come."

The next instant, under God King Gu Yuena's terrified gaze, God King Tang Wulin turned sideways and dodged her embrace.

He headed straight for the little girl in the corner of the Wenxin space, who had never had the slightest presence.

Coming before Na'er, God King Tang Wulin reached out to pat her head.

But Na'er backed away repeatedly in terror.

"Na'er, what's wrong?"

"It's Older Brother! Have you forgotten Older Brother?!!"

"Wulin, it's me, Tang Wulin! I'm the Older Brother who brought you home in Aolai City!!!"

Seeing Na'er retreat, God King Tang Wulin's heart throbbed with pain in that instant.

Na'er sniffled.

"No, you're not Older Brother!"

"Even though you look almost the same as Older Brother!!"

"Na'er is certain you're not Older Brother!!!"

God King Tang Wulin's heart ached, and despair instantly filled his eyes...

She was no longer his Little Sister Na'er. She was Dragon God Bearing Tang Wulin's Little Sister Na'er. But where was the Little Sister Na'er who belonged to him?
