late at night.
On Sea God Island Shrek Academy, Na'er, who had just entered a meditative state, was suddenly summoned.
She paused for a moment, then continued to meditate, her consciousness entering a strange space.
In the vast space, only she and the ordinary-looking woman in front of her were present.
" Gu Yue?!"
When Na'er saw that it was her who had returned, her delicate body trembled slightly.
Gu Yue stared at Na'er expressionlessly, raised the wedding ring in her hand, and said in a deep voice:
"Time's up. According to the bet, you've lost."
"Now, I am eighteen years old in human years, the plan is about to begin in full swing, and it's time for you to return."
Na'er raised her beautiful eyes and looked at her in disbelief.
"Really? Is it over?"
"For the sake of the Soul Beast cause, you've taken thirty percent of my strength, so you can't separate and leave on your own. Today, I'm here to reclaim that power," Gu Yue said coldly, utterly devoid of any humanity. "You've dragged this out for so long to help humanity; you've really gone through a lot."
"I transformed you into a human, not so that you would truly become human, but so that you would help me understand humanity."
"I still believe that not all humans are bad. You can't generalize!" Na'er said anxiously, trying to argue. "Like my brother, isn't he a good person? And what about our teacher, our teacher's wife... Do you really want to carry out a plan to kill all of humanity?"
"Shut up!"
Gu Yue rebuked coldly, her beautiful eyes blazing with fury.
"If we don't kill them, are we supposed to wait for them to wipe out all our Soul Beast? Haven't you seen how the Spirit Pagoda has slaughtered my people over the past ten thousand years?"
"You remember this: our identities are the rulers of Soul Beast, the other half of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King, not humans!"
"No matter how unwilling you are, you have to do what's appropriate for your position, do you understand?!"
"But... but we are one." Na'er shook her head and staggered back a few steps. "I clearly felt that you didn't want to do this either. It was Di Tian and the others who forced you to do it. From beginning to end, you wanted to escape this responsibility and even wanted to give up all your own power, didn't you?"
Gu Yue's expression remained unchanged; he was unwilling to listen to another word of Na'er's nonsense.
He raised his hand in the air and aimed it at Na'er, whose figure began to gradually become illusory.
"Any last words?"
" Gu Yue, no matter how meticulously you've thought things through, no matter how carefully you've planned... you understand that humanity cannot be wiped out, at least not by your own strength." Na'er walked step by step towards Gu Yue, tears streaming down her face, still trying to persuade Gu Yue.
"Leaving aside the fact that the known Plane Master of the Douluo Continent already has an owner, there's also Tang San, who fought with his brother before, and he's Tang San from 20,000 years ago."
" Gu Yue, your brother's victory in that battle already proves that he has unparalleled strength. You in the future may not be able to defeat him. Even if your plan succeeds, will the Divine Realm, which is far away from Douluo Star, ever return?"
"Your worries are unnecessary." Gu Yue said coldly, without any emotion. "When we encounter the Divine Realm, I will, as the Dragon God, once again demonstrate the power of the peak Dragon Clan to the entire universe and judge the gods."
" Tang San, Huo Yuhao, the Divine Realm, all submit to the Dragon God."
"But my brother is the true successor to the Dragon God, chosen by the previous Dragon God," Na'er said, biting her red lips. "Can you really take his place as successor?"
"Besides, you clearly love your brother so deeply, are you really going to kill him, the one who will surely become the leader of humanity in the future?"
A ripple finally appeared in Gu Yue's eyes, as if her previous demeanor had been entirely feigned, yet she still spoke without hesitation:
"Personal feelings are insignificant compared to racial revival."
As the two drew closer, Gu Yue's appearance reverted to her true form of silver hair and purple eyes.
Na'er, with a sob in her voice, uttered her last words:
"I'm a little reluctant to leave all of this, reluctant to leave the people around me, reluctant to leave my teachers, reluctant to leave my brother..."
However, after a while, Na'er realized that she seemed to still exist.
She didn't merge into Gu Yue's body; on the contrary, Na'er felt as if something was missing from her body.
Looking up, he saw that his body had returned to its physical form, and Gu Yue now held a silver spear with a seven-colored light emanating from his heart.
It is the other half of the Dragon God's Heart.
Na'er looked puzzled:
"Wait, why didn't you...?"
"Just kidding." Gu Yue retracted her Silver Dragon Spear into her body and said calmly.
Na'er: "..."
At a time like this, can't we stop making jokes like this?
Did he learn bad habits from his older brother?
"I used the power of the Dragon God's Heart to sustain your existence. Now, you are independent, and the thirty percent of power that belonged to me within you has returned to me." Gu Yue's expression seemed to hold a hint of a smile. "Now, I am a complete dragon, capable of judging the rest of the gods."
"The price you'll have to pay is that you'll lose your Silver Dragon Spear Martial Soul, but I've used the power of the Dragon God's Heart to give you a new White Dragon Spear."
"So, you've become independent. Go and become a true human being."
Na'er's eyes widened as she looked at Gu Yue, who seemed somewhat different. "You..."
" Na'er, you're right. I've always wanted to escape my responsibilities. If nothing had happened to our Dragon Clan, and the Dragon God hadn't split, perhaps I would have been born into the human world and lived a quiet life as an ordinary girl."
Gu Yue explained calmly.
"Having your own cultivation goals, being able to boldly be with the people you love, having a family, parents, enjoying the affection of relatives and friends, and doing what you want to do..."
"However, the tragedy of the Dragon Clan has occurred, and the war of the Divine Realm has begun. Na'er, I am the Silver Dragon King, I am the patriarch of the Dragon Clan, the ruler of all Soul Beast. I have something I must accomplish, even if it means my death, I will lead all the Soul Beast to rise again and revive the Dragon Clan."
"Your mission is complete. You are now free."
Gu Yue looked more relieved and somewhat envious as she looked at Na'er.
From this day forward, you are you, and I am me.
Na'er looked at Gu Yue in disbelief, completely unable to believe that she would do such a thing:
"But what about you...? Also, you used the Dragon God's Heart to replace your power to sustain my existence, wasn't that a waste of a lot of power?"
"Not a waste, not a single bit." Gu Yue shook her head. "It only consumed a tiny fraction of the Dragon God's Heart's energy. Maintaining your existence is simple; you underestimate the Dragon God's power."
"As for me... Na'er, in the end, I only have one request of you."
"You say it," Na'er said, her voice trembling, as if she sensed something was wrong.
"Take my place, live a good life as a human, enjoy life, and love life." Gu Yue turned and left, and the entire space began to collapse.
"Help me enjoy myself properly. Even without the Silver Dragon King's identity... am I truly able to live the life I want?"
The next second, Na'er suddenly snapped out of her meditative state, opened her beautiful eyes, and tears streamed down her face.
Gu Yue, she...
No, she is no longer Gu Yue.
She is the complete Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
And he himself was no longer Gu Yuena's clone.
