Upon hearing the words "cancel the plan, "Beast God Di Tian was stunned for a moment, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. He said anxiously, "..."
"My lord, why is this? We have been preparing for so long, and now the planned time has finally arrived."
"With everything in place, we only need your command to invade humanity, reclaim Douluo Star, and restore the status of Soul Beast to that of ancient times."
Gu Yuena sighed, her eyes filled with a mixture of weariness and relief:
"The situation has changed. Yu Longyue's power has exceeded our expectations. He has not only successfully brought Douluo Star into a new era, but has also demonstrated a strength that our Soul Beast cannot match. Continuing to execute the plan will only plunge our Soul Beast forces into an even greater crisis."
" Tang San's actions have changed my plans. I never expected that it would be Tang San who helped Yu Longyue become the God King. This dramatic turn of events is something I could never have predicted. It just happened like that."
Gu Yuena glanced at all the Soul Beast present and continued:
"Think about it, Yu Longyue has only cultivated for a little over ten years, yet she has already reached the level of First-Level God. My plan originally estimated that Yu Longyue would at most only have the strength of First-Level God, which is equivalent to her completely inheriting the power of the Golden Dragon King."
"The most crucial thing now is that he not only possesses the power of the Golden Dragon King at his peak, but also the power of all the Thunder Dragon King throughout history, as well as his own power. With these three combined, plus a hundred years of cultivation, Yu Longyue's strength is probably beyond all our comprehension and imagination."
"With Tang San's help, Yu Longyue gained an extra hundred years of cultivation time. Who could have predicted that?"
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who inherited all the wisdom of the Dragon God, could only manage a wry smile in the face of such a dramatic turn of events.
"You all witnessed how Tang San's family perished at the hands of Yu Longyue. While Yu Longyue appears gentle and kind on the surface..." Gu Yuena paused, "If anyone provokes him, Yu Longyue will tear away his gentle facade, revealing his ruthless, vengeful nature. He is extremely vengeful, unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss, and is also incredibly cautious..."
"I fear that if the plan continues, we Soul Beast will truly be wiped out in my hands."
"Therefore, the plan is canceled. Humanity's strength surpasses ours in every aspect, not to mention that terrifying Battlecruiser and the three unused Godslayer-Level Fixed Soul Cannon Shell. If we force a war, it will only lead to the complete extinction of our Soul Beast."
Gu Yuena looked at the Ferocious Beast and said in a deep voice:
"Let us find an ending where we can live in peace with humans, so that the Soul Beast Clan can continue to thrive."
"Moreover, with the power of the Dragon God's Heart, I have lifted the restriction that prevents Soul Beast from becoming gods. I believe your strength can continue to improve, and one day you will surpass humanity."
The Beast God Di Tian's expression changed slightly, a hint of shock and resentment flashing in his eyes.
He knew that this plan had been in preparation for countless years, and to abandon it now would undoubtedly be a huge blow to all the Soul Beast.
"My lord, is there really no other way?" Di Tian's voice carried a hint of urgency. "Our Soul Beast Clan has waited far too long, and we've finally got this opportunity..."
Gu Yuena shook her head slightly, interrupting Di Tian: " Di Tian, you must understand that the situation has fundamentally changed. In human terms, this is a case of plans being no match for reality."
"I... don't want you all to die, understand?"
Upon hearing this, a look of determination and pain flashed in the eyes of Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beast, as if they were struggling to make a final choice.
"Go back, all of you. My mind is made up." Gu Yuena sighed again. "That's it."
After Gu Yuena finished speaking, Di Tian and his group of Ferocious Beast remained motionless, heads bowed, silent.
"What are you all doing?" Gu Yuena frowned upon seeing this scene. "I know you're all unwilling, but there's nothing we can do; that's just reality."
Di Tian took a deep breath, then slowly took heavy steps to Gu Yuena, kneeling on one knee, his deep voice trembling slightly:
"My lord... we understand your decision, but please forgive us, we... cannot accept such an order!"
Behind him, the other Soul Beast followed suit, kneeling on one knee. In an instant, a heavy and oppressive atmosphere filled the entire room.
Hearing this answer, Gu Yuena seemed to have expected it. She finally sighed Youyou, turned around, and gazed into the distance outside the window.
At this moment, her figure appeared exceptionally lonely. Even knowing the choice they had made, she still felt a pang of pity. With her back to them, she asked again:
" Di Tian, what are you trying to do?"
"My lord, when I heard you summon us to the Spirit Pagoda, I always thought you were about to issue a plan for a full-scale invasion. But I never expected you to choose to back down."
"Therefore, we are here to say goodbye."
"... Is it because of dissatisfaction with me?"
Gu Yuena said calmly, her face expressionless.
Di Tian raised his head, gazing at Gu Yuena's retreating figure, his face filled with sorrow. "My lord, all these years, you have never laid a hand on Yu Longyue, and you have fought alongside Yu Longyue many times. Every time we were about to kill Yu Longyue, you always stopped us, saying that everything was within the plan, and that we should wait... wait a little longer..."
"Even this time was the same. You still had the chance to kill Yu Longyue and Destruction humanity, but you still chose to cancel the plan."
"Perhaps, after living in the human world for so many years, you have truly developed human emotions and are reluctant to kill humans... But we cannot, and should not, possess human emotions."
Di Tian recalled the past, closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly as if suppressing inner pain, and said in a deep voice:
"Humans destroyed our home and slaughtered our people, bringing us to the brink of extinction. Since ancient times, we have been the rulers of Douluo Star, but now we are only one step away from annihilation."
"We absolutely cannot tolerate what humanity has done to us. The consequences of coexisting peacefully with humanity are unacceptable now, and even less likely to be possible in the future."
"We understand that His Lord is very rational and adept at judging advantages and disadvantages, but some things cannot be easily judged by advantages and disadvantages alone."
"How can we so easily let go of such a deep-seated racial hatred?"
Di Tian said in a deep voice:
"Since we cannot make our lord make a decision, and the Yu Longyue has now reached an unmatched level, then the only option is to sacrifice ourselves."
"If Your Majesty still cares about our Dragon Clan, our Soul Beast lineage, and your most loyal Di Tian... please, Your Majesty, reconsider your decision to cancel the plan."
Gu Yuena's gaze dimmed slightly, then she closed her eyes, suppressing her grief, and asked softly:
"So, you're going to lead all your Soul Beast to the Douluo Federation to challenge Yu Longyue?"
Di Tian said firmly:
"Yes, my lord, your most loyal Di Tian has diligently protected you for hundreds of thousands of years... You may have forgotten how tragically tens of thousands of our people died, not just our Dragon Clan, but all the Soul Beast as well."
"They are all your subjects."
"We have waited quietly for so many years, always hoping for your awakening, your return, so that you can lead us back to Douluo Star, annihilate all humanity, and once again become the rulers of this world, allowing our Dragon Clan and Soul Beast lineage to return to their former glory."
As he spoke, a hint of grief and indignation crept into Di Tian's voice:
"But you ultimately made this choice. Although it's offensive, we truly cannot accept this outcome. My lord, either grant me death, or please allow me to make one last effort for the Soul Beast, even if it's like a moth drawn to a flame."
Having said that, without waiting for Gu Yuena's response, Di Tian suddenly knelt down on both knees, bowed deeply to Gu Yuena, and shouted sternly:
Farewell, Lord!
Farewell, Lord!
The Ferocious Beast behind him followed suit, as if they were prepared to sacrifice themselves.
Such a tragic atmosphere clearly indicated that all the Soul Beast were prepared to perish together with Yu Longyue.
Gu Yuena remained silent, her back still turned to them.
At this moment, no one knew what Gu Yuena was thinking, but she looked increasingly lonely. Her tribesmen's opinions were completely different from hers, and no one could understand her.
This situation continued for some time. Di Tian did not receive a response from his master, and despair gradually rose in his heart. He suddenly stood up, turned around and walked outside.
The other Ferocious Beast also got up and followed Di Tian's steps outside.
"Come back, everyone."
Gu Yuena spoke abruptly, her tone icy.
"My lord, your mind is made up..."
Before Di Tian could finish speaking, Gu Yuena unleashed a powerful energy surge, instantly halting the steps of all the Soul Beast.
Gu Yuena slowly turned around, her cold and beautiful face expressionless, her eyes like the bottom of a cold lake, her tone chilling:
"I told you to get back here, didn't you understand?"
"My lord, even if you forcibly keep us here, can you keep us here for a while, or for a lifetime?" Di Tian couldn't help but ask.
Gu Yuena glanced at Di Tian, then placed the remaining half of the Dragon God's Heart in her palm.
"The plan will continue. Starting tomorrow, we will launch a full-scale invasion of humanity."
"Wh... what?" Di Tian was stunned when he heard this.
"If you don't understand what your master is saying, then you can continue to lead the Soul Beast to their deaths, as if I were no master at all."
Gu Yuena snorted coldly and tightened her grip on the Dragon God's Heart in her palm.
The Dragon God's Heart then turned into powder and flowed into Gu Yuena's body.
The next moment, Gu Yuena's aura was no longer concealed, and she suddenly soared to the God King realm!
Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beast revealed their delighted expressions and knelt down before Gu Yuena once more.
"Welcome back, Lord!"
