Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 773 Cupid: I Didn't Lie
Cupid never lied; all it did was use skillful rhetoric to selectively conceal some information while presenting the rest to the listener.

At this moment, looking at the undisguised indignation in Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie's eyes, a barely perceptible smile quietly flashed in its seemingly innocent eyes, as if everything was under its control.

Kaguya asked, "According to Kyubey, is it possible for us to use Yuanen's bloodline to lure out the Titan Giant Ape from the Beast Platform?"

“That’s right~” Kyubey nodded gently, his voice still innocent and naive. “After all, any intelligent creature would be curious to suddenly sense the bloodline aura that is the same as its own. You can take advantage of this, set traps in advance, and then hunt it down when the opportunity arises.”

As soon as it finished speaking, it changed the subject and continued, "Moreover, this is exclusive information~ I can tell you definitively that the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python are plotting to overthrow the entire human society and attempt to let the Soul Beasts rule this continent again."

"What did you say?" Yuanen Yehui's face was filled with shock upon hearing this. Overthrow human society? Let soul beasts regain control of the continent? This is simply a fantasy!

Xie Xie couldn't suppress his surprise and asked, "Hey, you can't just talk about things that concern the survival of the continent!"

Kyubey tilted his head slightly and replied earnestly, "I have no reason to lie to you; it is indeed an indisputable fact."

Yuan Enhui frowned deeply and asked in a deep voice, "Qiu Bi, although I don't know what kind of terrifying power these so-called million-year-old soul beasts possess, they shouldn't have the strength to overthrow human society, right?"

“Otherwise, during the years when humans were slaughtering soul beasts, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python should have stood up to stop them long ago. Moreover, you also said before that their cultivation level would automatically decrease once they left the Beast Platform.”

"It's a pipe dream to think that two soul beasts suppressed to the quasi-god level can overthrow the current Federation."

"Yes, yes." Xie Xie nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Although they did not fully know how powerful the Federation truly was, humanity had developed on this continent for tens of thousands of years and its foundation was already solid, so how could it be easily overthrown?

Even the Sky-Supporting Douluo, who was hailed as the number one person below the gods, was once blown away by two god-slaying soul-guided cannonballs and disappeared without a trace.
Faced with a human powerhouse like Sky Douluo, the Federation might still have some reservations, after all, the Federation is not a monolithic entity, and various forces are deeply intertwined.

However, if two soul beasts were to emerge and openly declare their intention to overthrow human society, the Federation would certainly launch a full-scale attack without hesitation.

Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts! This is a perception ingrained in human nature.

Let alone the two quasi-gods whose strength was suppressed, even if they could fully unleash the terrifying power of a million-year-old soul beast, the Federation's many powerful figures and those infinitely powerful fixed-position soul-guided cannons would not be mere decorations.

Especially the last god-slaying soul-guided cannonball—Eternal Heaven—its power is enough to make any being wary; it is by no means child's play.

Kyubey chuckled lightly and said in a calm tone, "They naturally don't have the power to overthrow human society on their own, so they are currently carrying out a secret plan. Once the plan succeeds, the probability of human society being overthrown will be as high as 70%."

"What plan?" Xie Xie immediately pressed, his unease growing stronger.

Unexpectedly, Cupid stretched out its tiny paw at him and said slowly, "An equal exchange, okay?"

Xie Xie's expression froze for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and asked, "What price do I need to pay to find out the details of that plan?"

A spirit beast is plotting to overthrow human society, and has even devised a detailed plan. If successful, humanity will face an immense crisis. Such momentous news cannot be ignored by anyone.

As one of the current Shrek Seven Devils, and as a human being, he could not stand idly by.

Qbi replied, "The equivalent of a True God-level expert. As long as you can pay this price, I will tell you the corresponding information."

"This is robbery!" Xie Xie blurted out instinctively, his face filled with disbelief.

It was just a piece of information, but its value was equivalent to that of a true god. They're practically treating him like a sucker!
Instead of using resources to find out the truth, he might as well use them to resurrect Yuanen's mother!

Kyubey licked his paw, his tone calm yet carrying a subtle allure: "This information is invaluable, and you may not wish to pay. But when their plan is launched, who knows how many people on this continent will perish as a result?"

As it spoke, it pointed specifically at Yuan En Hui and added, "At that time, I can't guarantee the fate of the others, but the possibility of this young lady dying is quite high~"

Xie Xie's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by that? Why did Yuan En die?"

Cupid remained silent, slowly licking his paws, as if unwilling to utter another word.

It was indeed true. Since Yuan Enhui and Xie Xie had already entered the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, it meant that they had already been implanted with the Dragon Mystic Magic.

Among them, Xie Xie's body contains "Shafulin," which is transformed from a worm, thus enabling him to break free from the control of the Dragon Mystic Magic, but Yuan En Hui does not have such a reliance.

Once Gu Yuena activates her secret technique, Yuan En Ye Hui will inevitably be controlled by her. At that point, if Gu Yuena chooses to completely sever ties with humanity, Yuan En Ye Hui will also stand on the side opposing the Federation.

Once a full-scale war breaks out, Yuan Enhui will inevitably be pushed onto the battlefield. Being on the opposing side, her chances of dying are naturally extremely high.

However, no matter how Xie Xie pressed him for answers, Qiu Bi remained unmoved.

It simply maintains its signature seemingly naive yet cunning demeanor, as if silently declaring: to know the truth, one must accept the deal; there is no other way.

"All right."

Just as Xie Xie was about to press further, Kaguya interrupted him, speaking calmly:
"Even if Yuanen might encounter danger in the future, she is safe and sound at the moment. As long as we can lure those two soul beasts out of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform and kill them before they launch their plan, then none of the crises will occur."

Having said that, she turned her gaze to Cupid, her eyes sharp and direct: "Chubi, I want to know if the dangers Yuanen may face in the future are related to the plans those two soul beasts are currently undertaking?"

"Who knows~" Kyubey gave a cryptic smile, his tone light and neither affirmative nor negative, maintaining the mystery perfectly.

Kaguya sighed softly, clearly not expecting a clear answer from Kyubey. She calmly said, "Alright, then let's end this deal here."

Upon hearing this, Kyubey didn't say anything more, but simply flicked his bushy tail leisurely and turned to walk slowly into the depths of the forest.

Only its soft, slightly seductive voice echoed in the air: "Then, let's look forward to the next transaction~"

Its white form gradually became ethereal, like mist merging into the forest, and soon disappeared completely into the dense woods, as if it had never existed.

However, the tempting information it brought, along with the numerous problems that followed, weighed heavily on the hearts of everyone present, like an invisible boulder, lingering there.

Kaguya turned her gaze to Xie Xie and Yuanen Yehui, and said, "Now is not the time to make a deal with Kyubey. Our strength is still too weak. Even if we can successfully lure those two soul beasts out of the Beast Platform, it will be by no means easy to kill them completely."

“I need some time to contact some people and see if they are willing to help. Only when we have a strong enough force can we talk about hunting those two beasts.”

As she spoke, she took out a perfectly clear ruby ​​from her bosom and casually tossed it to Yuanen Yehui: "This gem is used to summon Kyubey. If you encounter any difficult problems in the future, you can try to use it to summon Kyubey and perhaps you can get a solution from it."

"However, you must be very careful when using it. That thing is very cunning, and you may be tricked by it if you are not careful."

"Hmm." Yuan Enhui silently accepted the ruby. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and a strange warmth welled up in her heart. She hadn't felt this kind of pure love since her mother passed away.

Tang Wulin and his companions offered genuine friendship, Xie Xie brought passionate love, but what Kaguya revealed at this moment carried a long-lost warmth, akin to familial affection.

"Yuan En..." Xie Xie called her softly, his eyes filled with worry and concern. "Let's go." Yuan En glanced at him, her voice slightly weary. Too many things had happened tonight, too suddenly; she needed some time alone to calm down and sort out her chaotic thoughts.

"Mm." Xie Xie nodded and quickly followed Yuanen Yehui's footsteps. However, in the instant he lowered his head, a resolute light flashed in his eyes.

If his initial desire to participate was to contribute to the resurrection of Yuanen's mother...

So, after learning that the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python were not only trying to overthrow human society, but would also directly endanger Yuan En Hui's life in the future, his goal became clearer—no matter what the cost, he must not let those two go.

This stems not only from the determination to protect Yuan En Ye Hui, but also from the awareness and responsibility that a human being should have when facing an enemy that threatens the survival of the entire race.

……

The following day, Tang Wulin and his entourage gathered in a conference room of one of Tang Sect's subsidiaries.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the blinds, casting dappled shadows on the floor. A faint aroma of coffee filled the air, yet it couldn't mask the unusual atmosphere.

"Xie Xie, Yuan En, are you two not planning to continue participating in the competition?" Tang Wulin looked at her two companions with obvious surprise on her face. She really didn't expect that the two of them would make such a decision when the competition had reached such a crucial stage.

Yuan Enhui nodded slightly, her tone tinged with apology: "I'm sorry, Wu Lin, I want to focus on cultivating my soul power recently, and try to break through to the Title Douluo level as soon as possible."

Xie Xie immediately chimed in, "Me too. I can't fall too far behind Yuanen. I have to work harder to keep up with her."

Last night, Kaguya and Kyubey tacitly chose to keep their experiences a secret.

Firstly, this matter involves a wide range of people and is related to evil spirit masters, so it is really not advisable to drag our companions into this mess.

Secondly, Kaguya and the others' identities as evil spirit masters were too sensitive, and they didn't know how to explain it to their companions for the time being, fearing that it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings and trouble.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin laughed heartily: "It's alright. If the two of you can break through to the Title Douluo level, it will be fantastic news for Shrek Academy right now, a real shot in the arm."

After all, participating in this martial arts contest to find a husband was Yuanen Yehui's personal wish, and now that she has decided to withdraw, Tang Wulin naturally will not force her.

At this moment, Yuanen Yehui looked at Tang Wulin and asked casually, "Wulin, I want to ask, when you entered the newly developed Ten Thousand Beast Platform of the Spirit Pagoda, did you encounter the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python?"

She wanted to use Tang Wulin's experience to verify the authenticity of the information Qiu Bi had provided.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin looked at Yuanen Yehui with some surprise: "What, could it be that you, Yuanen, have also encountered them?"

Tang Wulin had vivid memories of the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python in the Beast Platform. The last time she entered the Beast Platform, she encountered them under the guidance of the Seed of Life.

She not only saw the two beast kings with her own eyes, but also learned that they were the same two that had been sacrificed to her father Tang San 20,000 years ago.

At that time, after she displayed the mark of the Trident of Poseidon, she easily gained the trust of the two beasts. Originally, she even wanted to invite them to come out of seclusion, adding a profound foundation to Shrek Academy.

However, the two beast kings seemed to harbor considerable hostility towards humans and were unwilling to interfere in the conflicts of the human world. They only said that if she encountered trouble, she could enter the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to ask them for help, and then sent her out.

"I've only seen some silhouettes before, so I'm just making some guesses." Hearing Tang Wulin's question, Yuanen Yehui's heart stirred slightly—it seems that Qiu Bi's information was not unfounded.

"I see." Tang Wulin nodded. Although she felt that Yuanen Yehui's question was a bit sudden, as if he was hiding something, she didn't think too much about it. After all, Yuanen Yehui was a partner and would never harm them.

At this moment, Le Zhengyu spoke up: "With Yuanen and Xie Xie not participating, our team is down two people, and now there are only six people left to participate."

There were originally eight people who signed up for the martial arts contest to find a husband.

Now that Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie have been removed, the remaining contestants are Tang Wulin, Le Zhengyu, Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi, Sima Jinchi, and Aruheng.

Le Zhengyu quipped, "I was originally planning to promote Shrek Academy's reputation at this conference, but I didn't expect that someone would back out first."

"Who are you calling a backing out!" Xie Xie immediately bristled. Although Le Zhengyu didn't say it explicitly, he felt that it was directed at him.

"Whoever responds is the one being referred to," Le Zhengyu replied, raising an eyebrow with a hint of provocation in his tone.

Xie Xie rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to fight: "Let's have a go and see who backs down!"

Le Zhengyu was equally defiant, rolling up his sleeves and declaring, "Bring it on! Who's afraid of who!"

Seeing the two of them poised for a fight, the others couldn't help but look on with amusement. These two clowns, whenever they got together, inevitably engaged in this kind of bickering; it had long been the norm.

"What a pair of mischievous little ones." Just then, a gentle, soothing voice rang out, instantly calming the tense atmosphere in the room.

Immediately afterwards, a stunningly beautiful woman slowly walked into the conference room. She wore an elegant long dress, exuding a gentle and pure aura, as if she were surrounded by a soft halo.

"Your Holiness the Holy Spirit!"

Upon seeing the woman, Xie Xie and Le Zhengyu, who had been playfully fighting, immediately stopped as if pressed on pause. They straightened their backs and stood up straight, looking like obedient elementary school students seeing their teacher.

"Don't be so reserved." Yali covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes crinkling, exuding a relaxed and approachable charm.

Then, she turned her gaze to Yuanen Yehui and said softly, "Yuanen, I have carefully examined the owl you sent before. It is just an ordinary owl, with all vital signs normal, nothing special about it."

"Is that so? Thank you, Your Majesty." Upon hearing this, Yuan En Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the owl was resurrected by Cupid, she was still worried about potential side effects. So that very night, she took the owl to see the Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li for confirmation.

Now that she has gained the approval of this number one healing-type Limit Douluo in the world, a huge weight has finally been lifted from her heart.

"However, I still need to observe that owl more closely," Yuan Enhui thought to himself.

When it comes to her mother's resurrection, no amount of caution is excessive. If subsequent confirmations indicate there are no problems, then she will need to seriously consider the conditions proposed by Cupid.

Thinking of this, a resolute glint flashed in Yuan Enhui's eyes: "Hunting the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python?"

If Kyubey's request involved harming humans, she would never agree. But if the target was a spirit beast, her burden felt much lighter.

After all, in ancient times, Soul Masters relied on hunting Soul Beasts and acquiring Soul Rings to break through their cultivation levels. Sacrificing two Soul Beasts to revive her mother—in her eyes, this trade was worthwhile.

Not to mention, according to Cupid's intelligence, the Titan Apes are also trying to overthrow human society.

She wouldn't feel any guilt about dealing with such an evil spirit beast.
