" Gu Yuena, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with." Huo Yuhao said to the Silver Dragon King, sitting on the sofa with a serious expression.
At this moment, Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and Qiu'er were also in the living room. Upon hearing this, they all turned their gazes toward them.
Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao and asked softly, "What is it?"
Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment, then said, "Of course it's about the Godhood position. I want to create a new Godhood myself."
"What did you say?" A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes.
Di Qiu'er couldn't help but look at him and say, " Yuhao..."
The Ice Empress and the Snow Empress exchanged a glance, then looked at him in the same way. The Ice Empress said solemnly, "Are you really sure, Yuhao? Establishing Godhood is not as simple as it seems."
Huo Yuhao nodded, looked at everyone, and said, "I want to create a Godhood that is entirely my own in my own way. That way, we will have more resources to fight our enemies in the future."
The Snow Empress sighed softly, her voice filled with deep concern, and said, "Establishing Godhood is no small matter; it cannot be fully accomplished in a short period of time."
Huo Yuhao remained calm and continued, "I know, so I don't plan to start in the next few days. These few days are just the preparation phase; I still have some things to take care of."
Di Qiu'er suddenly realized something, "Are you talking about Sister Ju Zi's matter?"
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "The longer Ju Zi stays in front of Xu Tianran, the more dangerous it becomes. Even if my clone is protecting her, I'm still not entirely at ease."
The Snow Empress's voice rang out again, clear yet gentle, "The continent will ultimately be unified. Only by unifying the continent can these conflicts be reduced as much as possible."
Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice, "That's right. In her past life, Ju Zi didn't manage to do what she wanted to do, but now that I approve of her approach, I must help her achieve it."
He paused briefly, then continued, "After dealing with the matter with Ju Zi, I will begin preparations to establish my divine Godhood and comprehend Godhood."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly. "Don't worry, Huo Yuhao, our Soul Beast Clan will do everything in our power to help you, because you are the last hope of the Douluo Continent, my friend, and the lover of the Auspicious Beast."
Huo Yuhao gently shook his head, a mild, bitter smile playing on his lips, "I never thought of myself as anything special. I just want to be myself, to be Huo Yuhao, and that's enough."
Thank you for your help. I'm so glad I met you all and that you've stayed by my side.
He turned his gaze to Gu Yuena, "And Gu Yuena, in truth, we shouldn't have met in the first place."
Gu Yuena smiled calmly, interrupting his thoughts. "But we've met, so let's not dwell on the past or the future."
Huo Yuhao looked at her and said softly, "Actually, I met another you."
A look of doubt flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes, "Another me?"
"Yes," Huo Yuhao said, lost in memories, "When I broke through to the Titled Douluo level, it was like an illusion, yet it also felt real—another you."
"You asked me why I wanted to disrupt her destiny, which is also your destiny."
Gu Yuena's voice was cold and clear, "I shouldn't have had that kind of fate in the first place."
Huo Yuhao slowly said, "My answer is the same as yours."
"In that world, although you abandoned the Soul Beast, your identity, and everything else, for some reason, I feel like you're not yourself."
Gu Yuena's voice turned somewhat fierce, "If one day I meet that foolish version of myself ten thousand years from now, I will absolutely not hold back. I am destined to become Dragon God, not a human who wants to become stronger by learning from others."
Huo Yuhao shook his head, his face etched with utter helplessness. "I don't know, but all of this was your choice. The you I know now is Gu Yuena in my heart, but when Gu Yue is no longer the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, but merely the human Gu Yue, and the Life God King Gu Yuena, you will never appear in my heart again."
Therefore, I prefer to believe that she is not who you are now; you are you, and you should live as yourself.
It seems like Huo Yuhao is just routinely testing Gu Yuena to see if she'll betray him.
Now that we already have Tang Wutong, it's truly terrifying to think that Tang San might suddenly decide to send in a Tang Wulin out of nowhere.
Gu Yuena looked in Huo Yuhao's direction and said to him, "It seems your ability is still effective. You can see things in the future and have brief conversations with her."
Huo Yuhao added, "To be honest, Gu Yuena came here specifically to find me."
Gu Yuena interrupted him decisively, "It doesn't matter at all. Listen to me carefully, Huo Yuhao. Now, I want you to understand what I'm saying. I, Gu Yuena, the next generation of Dragon God of the Silver Dragon King, have my own goals. I am not someone else's appendage, not a pawn on someone else's chessboard. As for that Tang Wulin, he is my enemy."
Gu Yuena's voice carried a hint of self-mockery.
"I am amazed by the foolishness of my future self, but you, you have appeared now, the chosen one of the Douluo Continent. Perhaps we are destined to meet, but someone has interfered with our original destiny."
She paused for a moment, her gaze meeting Huo Yuhao's eyes without flinching, her tone suddenly becoming clear and resolute, "You're such a fool. How could I be the Life God King? I've never been the Life God King. I'm the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena. I will never meet that Tang Wulin, and I will never like that Tang Wulin. If I were to like anyone, it would only be you."
Oh no, this is a disaster.
Huo Yuhao stood frozen in place, his ears almost ringing. "You... you like me?"
Without the Sisi hesitation, Gu Yuena's voice trembled as she said, "Yes, yes, you are the hope we all hold dear, Huo Yuhao. If I had a choice, I would tell you without hesitation that I love you."
"So, you understand now, Huo Yuhao? You understand my feelings, my persistence, right?"
Huo Yuhao was shocked that Gu Yuena would say such a thing in front of so many people. On the contrary, the people around her, Qiu'er, Bing'er, Xue'er, were not surprised at all, and even looked at her with approval. What was going on?
Wasn't I supposed to be testing Gu Yuena's feelings? How did it turn into a huge scene where I was the one being confessed to?
I can only say that I'm too cautious.
However, Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "This development might actually be a good thing. My relationship with Gu Yuena has always been quite delicate. Do I like her? I have a little bit of affection for her, but not much."
Does the other person like me? Now I know the answer.
"So, this isn't just an alliance with the Soul Beast, it's a marriage alliance???"
P. S.: This last sentence was just meant to be funny, but I didn't think it was a good idea, so I put it below.
"Then I'll take the loss and agree."
Also, regarding the title above, it seems like that's what I'm trying to express, but is it a bit too abstract?
Although I don't feel I have a particularly high talent for abstract thinking, I still find myself writing down things that suddenly come to mind in my novels.
