Chapter 70 Gu Yuena: I've cracked again!
"I am the Silver Dragon King!"
In the living room, as long-forgotten memories flooded back like a tide, the naivety in Na'er's eyes completely vanished, replaced by an unfathomable indifference and a profound understanding of the world.
In my mind, fragmented memories rapidly reassembled and connected, outlining a complete trajectory of the past.
She clearly remembered that when she awoke from the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, she felt the desperate cries of the soul beast race on the verge of extinction.
Humanity's relentless hunting, the plundering of soul rings and soul bones, and the constant shrinking of their living territories have turned the soul beasts that once dominated the continent into lambs to the slaughter.
At that moment, the responsibility and anger of being the ruler of the soul beasts burned fiercely in her heart. She immediately devised a plan: to transform into human form and infiltrate the human world, to undermine their order from within, and to reclaim the right to survival for the soul beast race.
But at the crucial moment of her transformation, the gears of fate suddenly shifted.
At that time, she was at her weakest, and all her soul power was used to maintain her human form transformation. Caught off guard, the surrounding space suddenly shattered like glass, and the violent spatial turbulence, like a hungry beast, instantly swept her into it.
In order to avoid being torn to pieces by the spatial turbulence, Gu Yuena could only barely mobilize the power within the seal to protect herself. Then, she felt a sharp pain in her head, as if she had been hit on the head with a club, and was directly transported to Aolai City by the spatial turbulence.
The forced activation of power during the transformation caused an irreversible impact on her soul, plunging her into a state similar to the "mystery of the womb," where most of her memories were sealed away, leaving only her most instinctive will to survive and a hazy consciousness.
Of course, although she has lost most of her memories, Gu Yuena can still instinctively fight back if she encounters a crisis.
Therefore, even if Tang Wulin hadn't intervened, she would have been fine.
And recalling what happened back then—
Gu Yuena frowned slightly. At that moment, she seemed to have vaguely seen a golden trident mark on the forehead of this nominal brother.
"Speaking of tridents, the most famous one is the 'Sea God Trident,' a divine weapon of Tang San's ancestor from 20,000 years ago. Legend has it that it weighed 108,000 jin and possessed the supreme power to overturn rivers and seas."
The sudden sound interrupted Gu Yuena's thoughts.
She looked in the direction of the sound and realized that when she regained her memory, her body was trembling slightly due to emotional fluctuations, and she accidentally bumped the remote control on the sofa, changing the TV channel.
At this moment, a history popular science program is playing on the screen. An expert wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a Zhongshan suit is talking eloquently with a confident smile on his face.
According to some unofficial historical records about the Spirit Tower, Tang Wutong, the wife of Huo Yuhao, the creator of the Spirit Tower and the Ice Douluo, was the biological daughter of Tang San, the Sea God.
Across from the expert, the young radio host wore an incredulous expression and promptly chimed in, "That's impossible! Tang San's ancestor was a legendary Soul Master from 20,000 years ago, while Tang Wutong lived 10,000 years ago. They're separated by nearly 10,000 years; how could they possibly be father and daughter?"
"Misunderstanding, you don't know the truth."
The expert adjusted his glasses, a hint of pride in his voice, "Our conclusion is based on solid historical evidence. According to the records inside the Spirit Pagoda, Tang Wutong doesn't possess twin martial souls, but rather the rare triadic martial soul. Her third martial soul is none other than 'Sea God'!"
"It's common knowledge in the Soul Master world that Martial Souls are inherited from one's parents. Of Tang Wutong's three Martial Souls, besides the 'Goddess of Light Butterfly,' she also possesses the 'Clear Sky Hammer,' which coincides with another Martial Soul of Tang San's ancestor."
"Of course, these two points alone may be a bit far-fetched, but there is a key record in the biography of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao recorded by the Spirit Pagoda."
The expert took a sip of water and continued, "Legend has it that Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo, once ventured deep into the Arctic Ocean with Tang Wutong, where they were attacked by a sea princess from the mermaid clan and found themselves in grave danger."
"Just when he thought he was doomed, Dragon Butterfly Douluo Tang Wutong made her move. She displayed the Sea God Martial Soul and successfully persuaded the Sea Princess to spare Huo Yuhao. There are even historical records that Dragon Butterfly Douluo's ninth soul skill was named Sea God's Descent."
"All these signs indicate that there must be some kind of close blood relationship between Dragon Butterfly Douluo Tang Wutong and Sea God Tang San. As for the issue of the ten thousand years separating them? It's probably due to some unknown means."
The expert spoke vividly, completely ignoring the logical flaws in his arguments. He was simply paid by the TV station to create buzz and attract viewers; the truth was irrelevant.
These unintentional words, however, struck Gu Yuena like a thunderclap, plunging her into deeper contemplation.
"Tang Wutong? Tang Wulin?"
Gu Yuena murmured softly, a sharp glint flashing in her purple eyes, "A difference of just one word, is this really just a coincidence?"
She carefully recalled every moment she spent with Tang Wulin, and more and more doubts arose.
Putting aside the Golden Trident mark, the martial soul awakened by that boy was Blue Silver Grass. It seemed ordinary, but it had extraordinary resilience and vitality, so it seemed to be no ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Moreover, during her amnesia, she instinctively felt close to Tang Wulin; that strange attraction seemed rather problematic.
"Finding the truth isn't actually that difficult." Gu Yuena's gaze slowly turned towards the kitchen, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
Lang Yue is Tang Wulin's mother. As long as we can invade her mental sea and read her memories, all the mysteries will naturally be solved.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuena gently jumped off the sofa, her white socks touching the floor, and silently walked towards the kitchen.
"Mmm~♪"
Inside the kitchen, Lang Yue was wearing an apron, humming a cheerful tune, her cleaver moving methodically across the cutting board, slicing vegetables into even shreds, completely unaware of the approaching danger.
"It's just reading a portion of her memories. As long as the force is precisely controlled and her mental essence is not damaged, she will at most be unconscious for a few hours, and she will forget everything when she wakes up."
Gu Yuena silently recited in her heart, slowly raising her fair little hand, her fingertips swirling with a barely perceptible spiritual power.
She is the ruler of all soul beasts: the Silver Dragon King, not the amnesiac girl Na'er who was carefully cared for by Lang Yue. This brief warmth is not enough to shake her resolve.
However, just as her mental energy was about to touch the back of Lang Yue's head, a strong sense of resistance suddenly surged from the bottom of Gu Yue's heart, like an invisible barrier that forcefully blocked her movement.
Immediately afterwards, her mental sea surged violently, as if two forces were colliding within it, and the intense pain made her groan involuntarily.
"Hmm... Is this a psychological attack?"
Gu Yuena covered her forehead, a look of disbelief and astonishment on her small face. Had someone launched a mental attack on her?
Impossible! With the strength of her mental power as the Silver Dragon King, ordinary soul masters' mental attacks could not even get close to her, let alone cause such an impact.
She quickly withdrew her spiritual power and carefully examined herself. What she saw shocked her—it wasn't an external invasion, but rather an internal conflict within her own spiritual sea!
"What on earth is going on?!" Gu Yuena quickly retreated, leaving the kitchen area.
Strangely, after she left the kitchen and distanced herself from Lang Yue, the turbulent sea of her mind gradually calmed down, and the feeling of resistance also weakened.
A moment later, Gu Yuena sat cross-legged on the living room carpet, closed her eyes, and focused her mind, carefully examining the state of her soul. After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes, her brows furrowed tightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Within her spiritual sea, a faint yet tenacious will was born! This will shared the same origin as her, essentially being a part of her, yet possessing independent consciousness and emotions.
"I've split into two again?"
Gu Yuena's feelings were extremely complicated. Back then, the Dragon God was split in two, half of his body becoming the Golden Dragon King and the other half becoming her, the Silver Dragon King. Now, she had experienced a split in her soul once again. Was this a cruel joke of fate?
She tried to mobilize her own power, wanting to devour and merge with this nascent will.
Although that will was weak, it clung to her like a maggot, firmly occupying a corner of her spiritual sea and connecting with a portion of her original power.
Given her current incomplete recovery, forcibly devouring her would not only be unlikely to succeed, but could also lead to severe damage to her soul, resulting in more harm than good.
After a difficult investigation, Gu Yuena finally figured out the source of this will. It was not born out of thin air, but was formed from the memories, emotions and cognitions she had accumulated while living as "Na'er" during her period of amnesia.
It was precisely because "Na'er" felt warmth and love in this family and regarded Lang Yue as a family member that when she wanted to harm Lang Yue, this will instinctively resisted and prevented her from hurting the person she "cared about".
"Let's put this matter aside for now."
Gu Yuena sighed softly, suppressing the turmoil in her heart. Since she couldn't attack Lang Yue for the time being, nor could she merge with that will, she could only seek another way.
"The most urgent task is to contact Di Tian and the others."
She has been missing for over a year, and the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest must be extremely anxious.
If she doesn't inform them of her safety as soon as possible, there's no guarantee that Di Tian won't act impulsively and lead the ferocious beasts in a large-scale search. That would inevitably alert the human soul master community, alert the enemy, and ruin her entire plan.
"Buzz—"
—
Gu Yuena closed her eyes, and her divine soul power pierced through the barriers of space. A summoning wave originating from the depths of her bloodline spread out towards the distant Star Dou Great Forest like an invisible sound wave.
This is a unique way of communication between the Silver Dragon King and the ferocious beasts. It can accurately transmit information across mountains and rivers. After doing all this, Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes, and the calm of her purple eyes returned.
"Di Tian and the others are far from Aolai City, so they probably won't arrive so quickly. In the meantime, I'll continue living as 'Na'er.'"
As the Silver Dragon King with extraordinary wisdom, Gu Yuena possesses a calmness and intelligence far beyond that of ordinary people.
Since the situation is temporarily out of control, we might as well wait and see. During this time, we can carefully observe the background of Tang Ziran's family and gain a deeper understanding of how human society operates. Consider this our first lesson in entering the human world.
Just then, the sound of the door lock turning rang out, accompanied by two familiar voices calling out, "Wife, I'm home!"
"Mommy, Na'er, I'm home!"
Tang Ziran, dressed in work clothes, walked in first with a tired but satisfied smile on her face.
Following closely behind was Tang Wulin, who was wearing a sports short-sleeved shirt, drenched in sweat, with beads of sweat sliding down his cheeks and soaking his clothes.
Clearly, he had just returned from the forging workshop of Bu Tian. The high-intensity forging training was far too much for a seven-year-old child.
Gu Yuena's gaze swept over Tang Ziran, and in just a moment, she saw through his true nature—an ordinary person without soul power, posing no threat whatsoever.
However, when her gaze fell on Tang Wulin, her pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of disbelief and horror flashed in her purple eyes.
"This is... the aura of the Golden Dragon King?!"
She almost thought she was mistaken.
Tang Wulin's body reeked of sweat mixed with the smell of iron filings, yet beneath this intense aura, a faint but incredibly pure dragon's might wafted.
That aura was domineering and wild, full of destruction and power, and it was the scent she was most familiar with and most afraid of—the aura of the Golden Dragon King!
At this moment, Tang Wulin had exhausted his blood and qi due to the intense forging. In order to make up for the deficiency of blood and qi, the dormant Golden Dragon King Divine Core in his body had to be passively awakened, and it separated into strands of Golden Dragon King bloodline, which subtly transformed his physical body.
It was precisely because of this that the aura that was originally perfectly concealed was briefly leaked out and captured by the Silver Dragon King with his keen senses.
"How is that possible—"
Gu Yuena stared intently at Tang Wulin, her heart pounding wildly. "How can a human child possess the aura of the Golden Dragon King within him? And why is it so pure!"
There's no mistake, this domineering aura is something that Tyrannosaurus Rex or Golden Dragon bloodlines can't possibly provoke!
She forcibly suppressed her shock, her gaze like a searchlight as she scrutinized Tang Wulin. The honest and simple-minded boy now appeared incredibly mysterious to her.
Tang Wulin seemed to notice her gaze, lifted his sweat-covered face, and flashed her a bright smile: "Na'er, what are you looking at? I forged an iron hammer today, and Teacher Mang even praised me for my rapid progress!"
Looking at that pure and innocent smile, Gu Yuena felt a chill creeping into her heart.
This human is suspicious!
