Hearing Gu Yuena's bluntness, Yu Longyue was stunned for a few seconds.
Huh?
While it's true that being cautious is advisable, having prepared so many backup plans often leads to unexpected actions from the other side.
For example, the hundred years of cultivation time that Tang San gave him directly made him a God King.
Is there still the current practice of Gu Yue offering discounts?
emmmm...
Seeing Yu Longyue's astonished expression, Gu Yuena seemed unable to suppress a laugh. Her laugh was sweet and somewhat smug.
"Well, you didn't expect my purpose for coming would be so simple, did you?"
"That's true," Yu Longyue admitted.
"I'm not that stupid, stupid enough to start a war with you humans," Gu Yuena retorted. "I can't even imagine how many more powerful weapons you humans have up your sleeve."
"For example, the three Godslayer-Level Fixed Soul Cannon Shell that your Federation hasn't yet used, they must have been modified by Huo Yuhao, further enhancing their destructive power."
"I estimate that even if only one shot lands on Soul Beast, it could severely damage our Soul Beast side, or even wipe out our entire race."
"And then there's that Battlecruiser, and you, already God King." Gu Yuena couldn't help but chuckle. "I can already imagine what the consequences will be for us Soul Beast once the war begins."
"In the final battle, you didn't use those three Godslayer-Level Fixed Cannon Shell, presumably saving them to defend against us."
"Most importantly, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is the biggest variable." Gu Yuena stared intently at Yu Longyue. "In the final battle, was the True Dragon Legion you threw yourself into truly the true face of the True Dragon Legion?"
"I really don't believe you're not hiding something. The True Soul Beast True Dragon Legion is sure to bring us a big 'surprise'."
"After all, the True Dragon Legion was created with the initial intention of using the power of a single legion to fight against the entire Douluo Continent, to prevent the Federation from kneeling before Tang San and turning their guns on you instead. Am I right?"
Yu Longyue touched her nose somewhat awkwardly.
How can she be so smart?
This is nothing like the love-obsessed person she used to be.
What's going on?
"So, I don't want to go to war with you at all, however... sigh." Gu Yuena frowned slightly when she mentioned this, "In the end, it's just a matter of the strong preying on the weak, and survival of the fittest."
"What kind of racial feud is this? If we're talking about racial feuds, then you're the ones who should be saying that!"
"In ancient times, humans were among the food of Soul Beast. However, humans were united and possessed great creativity, building cities one after another... Then they developed technology, and Soul Beast that did not know how to adapt were naturally eliminated one by one."
"Although it's not very polite for me to say this, to be fair... it's true." Gu Yuena frowned slightly. "Logically speaking, it seems the Soul Beast struck first."
"Besides, we're no match for you right now..."
Yu Longyue looked at Gu Yuena with a strange expression.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Gu Yuena raised her hand and touched her cheek.
"You're not Gu Yue, are you?" Yu Longyue suddenly reached out and pinched Gu Yuena's cheek. "Who are you to say such things? You actually possessed Gu Yue?"
Gu Yuena let him hold her hand, and after a moment, she suddenly said:
"Does it feel good?"
"Um... it's alright."
"Then why aren't you letting go?"
Yu Longyue reluctantly let go of her hand.
"Are you really Gu Yue?"
My name is Gu Yuena.
"That kind of joke isn't funny."
"Alright, alright, don't be shocked." Gu Yuena waved her hand. "Anyway, I really am here to sue for peace, you... don't overthink it."
"I know you're cautious, afraid I have some ulterior motive... but I really don't."
"Isn't sincerity acceptable?"
"Okay, of course." Yu Longyue finally agreed to sit next to Gu Yuena, lying back on the sofa and letting out a sigh of relief.
"Then tell me, what are your conditions?"
"Actually, my condition is very simple. After all, you already possess the God Position of the Dragon God. Theoretically speaking, you are now the patriarch of the Dragon Clan, our Dragon God."
Gu Yuena paused for a moment, then continued:
"However... Di Tian and the others are unwilling to accept a human as their Dragon God. They do not acknowledge you as the Dragon God and insist on waging war against humanity."
"Therefore, my condition is very simple: starting tomorrow, Soul Beast will launch a full-scale invasion of humanity. At that time, I will guarantee the safety of all humanity, and that no one will be injured."
"Then, I'll force you to have a one-on-one duel with me in front of everyone." Gu Yuena watched Yu Longyue's expression and quickly said, "And what you have to do is very simple: defeat me in front of everyone, let the Soul Beast know that my strength is inferior to yours, and use your strength to conquer these Soul Beast who do not submit to you."
"Only in this way can we achieve peaceful coexistence without harming any Soul Beast or human lives."
Yu Longyue's expression became even stranger.
Is it truly a telepathic connection?
That's what he was thinking: conquer the Soul Beast with absolute power, and then just force Gu Yue to marry him.
Then Gu Yue came up to him and told him to conquer the Soul Beast with absolute strength.
We were thinking the same thing.
Although she felt a little unsettled inside, Yu Longyue remained outwardly unmoved, her hands casually resting on the sofa, appearing extremely relaxed.
What if you don't keep your promise?
Gu Yuena immediately swore. "I swear on my soul and on everything, if I break this promise, may I be struck by lightning, may I never be able to lead the Soul Beast Clan to rise again, and may my soul be tormented for eternity."
"You are the Plane Master, and more importantly, a witness. You know very well what will happen if I break my promise."
"That's ruthless enough." Yu Longyue nodded. "But why did I let you control all of humanity?"
"Unless you can stop me." Gu Yuena's gaze hardened.
"Fine, I'll let you control them. I trust you; you won't hurt them." Yu Longyue smiled, then crossed her legs, looking as if she had everything under control.
"You've worked so hard, yet there are so many people holding you back. If I were you, I would have quit already. Lord, whoever wants to be the Egyptian can be the one."
"You've already done your best, even coming all this way to try and make peace with me. You understand that once war breaks out, I won't show any mercy. In the end, it will only be Soul Beast that die, nothing more."
Gu Yuena's guess was indeed correct.
"So... did you agree?"
"Of course, after all, this is what I wanted to do." Yu Longyue was not at a disadvantage at all, slowly approaching Gu Yuena, and gently lifting Gu Yuena's chin. "I originally wanted to use absolute strength to conquer you and your people, and bring you into our alliance, my dear."
Gu Yuena didn't swat away his mischievous hand, but instead asked:
"So confident?"
Yu Longyue's lips curled slightly. "After all, you know that even if you were the Silver Dragon King at your peak, the difference in strength between us is enormous, just like the result of our last competition, which was basically a foregone conclusion."
The result is that you lost.
"That was because I let you win." Yu Longyue's lips twitched.
Gu Yuena slapped Yu Longyue's hand away in annoyance and turned her head to the side:
"Things are different now than they were back then."
Yu Longyue placed her hand on her chin:
"Why does this feel like a domineering CEO threatening your family and forcing you to marry me?"
"..."
