Gu Yuena was silent for a moment, then slowly turned her head and looked calmly at Yu Longyue:
"If that's really what you think, then so be it; at least it's a win-win situation."
"However, you seem determined not to stop me from controlling all of humanity?"
"It's okay, even if you control everything, so what?"
Yu Longyue, on the other hand, displayed extreme confidence.
However, the more she adopted this attitude, the more Gu Yuena felt that she had indeed made the right choice in coming here.
Going to war is the most foolish choice.
Having a solid foundation is the source of self-confidence.
When you have countless nuclear weapons to deter the other side, you'd better have them.
But Yu Longyue happened to have it.
What's more, there's Huo Yuhao there too. Huo Yuhao is determined to stand on Yu Longyue's side. If these two work together, they can even defeat Tang San.
Gu Yuena took a deep breath.
Hopefully, the Soul Beast can forgive her for what she did.
Starting a war like this is extremely unwise.
Gu Yuena couldn't understand why someone would choose the worst outcome when there were clearly better options.
"Since that's the case, it's decided then. Let's settle this with a one-on-one duel tomorrow," Gu Yuena said slowly.
"Although it seems a bit too frivolous to decide such an important matter with a one-on-one duel, there seems to be no better way."
"You don't understand. In ancient times, there were wars where one-on-one duels determined the outcome. The soldiers were innocent, so rituals for dueling naturally arose."
Yu Longyue spoke slowly and deliberately.
"It's simple. If you win, it's because you're weaker than us, and I accept that. Do whatever you want, but please don't harm humans, or you'll force us to fight you to the death."
"If I win, I will not harm your people; I only ask that you join our alliance."
"That's already humanitarian enough."
"No problem, I agree." Gu Yuena nodded slightly. "It seems you're very confident."
"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal foes. The value of Soul Beast is beyond our imagination. Why not have another ally?" Yu Longyue said leisurely. "Of course, only a Soul Beast lineage led by you will have value. Without you, they are nothing."
Gu Yuena remained silent on this topic.
"I only shouldered the responsibilities that the Dragon God should have. I'm only responsible for the life and death of the Dragon Clan. As for Soul Beast, what are those?" Yu Longyue curled her lip. "For your sake, I haven't killed a single Soul Beast. I can guarantee that one hundred percent."
"Of course, the reason I agreed to your request for peace is because... I don't want humanity to suffer another large-scale loss. The final battle has already been painful enough for us." Yu Longyue slowly moved closer to Gu Yuena and said in a deep voice, "Even if we win the war afterward, and I can still revive them with me, if I become too reliant on this ability and start to take life for granted, treating it as a pawn to be discarded at will, then will I still be the same person I was before?"
"I hate this change, Gu Yue."
"On the contrary, this is more like you," Gu Yuena replied quietly. "Ever since we were little, I've noticed that while you may have harsh words, you've always taken action. You're always involved in charity work and fighting for the common people. I remember the Eastsea City incident vividly; without your actions, I don't know how many more lives would have been lost."
"Sharp tongue, soft heart."
"Are you still maintaining charitable activities? Don't forget, our Spirit Pagoda is still cooperating with you to this day, jointly profiting from and training commoner Soul Master."
"..."
This time, Yu Longyue remained silent.
Seeing that Yu Longyue was unwilling to mention her contributions to society, Gu Yuena felt somewhat helpless.
Does this guy have no idea how good his reputation is in society right now?
Gu Yuena slowly stood up:
"Alright, now that we've finished talking, see you tomorrow."
What's the rush?
Seeing that she was about to leave, Yu Longyue quickly reached out and grabbed her, pulling her back into her arms.
"That's something that will happen tomorrow. There are still twelve hours until tomorrow, so let's treat it as a break. That's perfect. We've been so busy for so long, wouldn't it be better if we could both be at our best before tomorrow?"
"You..."
Gu Yuena did not resist, but finally sighed softly and silently rested her head on Yu Longyue's chest.
"Fine, I'll do as you say."
Yu Longyue inhaled Gu Yuena's fragrance and couldn't help but say:
"What a wonderful feeling! Tell me, what kind of expressions would the Soul Beast have if they knew you were lying in my arms?"
"Hmm... I'll kill you?"
"... As punishment according to family rules, you're staying with me today."
"?"
Unlike the two leaders of the human and Soul Beast sides, who were enjoying a private world together.
On the other hand, the Soul Beast were arguing fiercely.
"That's hilarious! Racial feud? Honestly, after learning the whole history, I feel like only humans have the right to say something like that!"
The Light Dragon King, who had been resurrected by Gu Yuena using the other half of the Dragon God's Heart and brought out from Dragon Valley, had transformed into human form and was looking at Di Tian in front of him with a displeased expression.
"The two clan leaders lived in peace, worked together to lead the Dragon Clan Dragon Clan to its former glory, such a beautiful ending, what are you doing here causing trouble with your Soul Beast?"
Upon hearing this, the group of the Dragon Clan members behind him looked at Di Tian with somewhat strange expressions.
They were all resurrected from the dead in Dragon Valley and witnessed Yu Longyue and Gu Yuena spending three whole years burying all the corpses in Dragon Valley.
They did not see Yu Longyue as an enemy; in fact, they flattered him and felt very close to him. After all, they all knew that Yu Longyue was the current Dragon God, their great Dragon Clan Chief, and the successor personally recognized by the previous Dragon God.
The Light Dragon King, who was already at odds with Di Tian's lineage, now wore a cold expression, clearly extremely displeased.
"Even if you are a descendant of the Dark Dragon King and have performed great deeds, what gives you the audacity to force the clan leader to wage war against humans?"
Seeing the Light Dragon King openly confronting him in public, Di Tian's face darkened.
"What do you know? Over the years, the Soul Beast lineage that once dominated the entire Douluo Star has withered to such an extent that humans even treat us like beasts and keep us as livestock. Do you understand how I feel watching the Soul Beast disappear one by one?"
"Moreover, the current God Position is to be held by a human leading the noble Dragon Clan. What makes him worthy? How can a mere human be qualified to sit on the throne of Dragon God?!"
The Light Dragon King was so angry he laughed:
"What did the Dragon God do to you? So what if he's human? He personally buried all our remains, and instead of consuming our Dragon Soul to nourish his body and increase his strength, he gave us a chance to be reborn, allowing all the Dragon Clan in Dragon Valley to see the light of day again."
"Such a debt of gratitude is something our Dragon Clan can never repay, let alone the fact that he was personally chosen by the previous Dragon God."
"If you're not satisfied, then go ahead and cause trouble in front of the old Dragon God! Do you have the guts?!"
