Douluo Dalu: Reborn Great Sage Conquering Demons, Nuo Dance to Calm the Demons

Chapter 14 Gu Yuena's Invitation

Before I knew it, it was already late at night.

Under the bright moonlight, four people lit a bonfire and sat around it.

"Mm, what a good wine!"

Wendy looked slightly tipsy, holding a skewer of grilled fish in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.

"In this situation, even I, the best bard in Teyvat, can't help but want to play a song."

After three rounds of drinking.

Wendy and Gu Yuena were both half drunk. Xiao accompanied everyone but only ate three or two berries.

In a trance, I actually missed the almond tofu made by Chef Yanxiao of Wangshu Inn.

"Hey! I say..."

Gu Yuena suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

"In your world, do soul beasts and humans really coexist peacefully?"

At this moment, Gu Yuena's eyes revealed a bit of envy and self-mockery.

"Soul beast?"

Wendy shook her head and responded with a faint smile:

"Perhaps you have misunderstood from the beginning. Our true form is not the 'soul beast' you mentioned."

“People often respectfully call us gods and immortals, but in essence, we are just like the soul beasts in this world, inhuman creatures that have survived from ancient times to the present day.”

"I'm a wind elf, Xiao is a Yaksha, and Qiqi is a zombie. So, none of us in this group are human!"

After Wendy finished speaking, she raised the glass of wine and drank it all.

Gu Yuena seemed to be thinking about something, and said solemnly:

"But compared to humans, your aura is still closer to us soul beasts. Or in other words, we... are the same kind!"

Gu Yuena paused and continued:
"You come from another world and don't know the structure of this world. In this land called 'Douluo Continent', humans and soul beasts have been fighting to the death for tens of thousands of years!"

"Human soul masters will encounter a bottleneck every ten levels in their soul cultivation. If they want to break through the bottleneck, they must kill soul beasts and plunder the 'soul rings' they produce after death. Only by successfully absorbing the soul rings can they break through to the next stage."

"So a soul master needs to kill at least ten soul beasts in his lifetime. And this does not include the useless soul rings that are discarded due to age or incompatibility..."

"Perhaps you think that since there are so many soul beasts, killing a few of them is not a big deal. But you should know that human greed is always endless! In order to find the best soul ring configuration, they always hunt down soul beasts with high age as much as possible."

“It’s not easy for a soul beast to cultivate. For a newborn soul beast to grow into a soul beast of ten thousand years or even a hundred thousand years, the time it takes is incalculable!”

“Humans have only a short lifespan of less than a hundred years, but they have to find ways to hunt them down! Perhaps before long, these ten-thousand-one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts will become completely extinct…”

"Because of this, the soul beasts in this world hate human atrocities so much!"

After listening to Gu Yuena's confession, everyone fell into a brief silence.

Wendy lowered her eyes, the burning bonfire reflected in her eyes.

"This contradiction is indeed difficult to mediate..."

Xiao, who had been silent for a long time, now spoke solemnly:

"Unless someone can develop something to replace the 'Soul Ring'."

"I have an old friend who is very keen on studying this kind of novel things."

"It's a pity that she should still be fighting bloody battles on Guili Plains..."

What Xiao was talking about was naturally Master Liuyunjiefeng!

At this moment.

Gu Yuena suddenly stood up and faced everyone solemnly.

"To be honest, the overlord of this Star Forest, Emperor Tian, ​​is deeply enraged by the behavior of humans!"

"And the few fierce beasts who advocate war under the seat of Emperor Tian have repeatedly urged Emperor Tian to launch the Beast Tide to settle accounts with the human world!" "And once the Beast Tide is launched, this continent will face a catastrophe. Both soul beasts and humans will suffer immeasurable damage!"

Speaking of which.

Gu Yuena extended her hand and invited the three people sitting there.

"I want to stop this situation! But my old injuries haven't healed yet, so I am powerless..."

"My wish is for humans and soul beasts to coexist peacefully. So... I would like to invite you to become my partners!"

"You are so strong, you can definitely stop this disaster!"

Speaking of which.

Gu Yuena became a little excited. She placed her hands on her chest, waiting for their responses.

Before Wendy could speak.

Xiao's cold words directly shattered Gu Yuena's vision.

"you are too naive!"

After a pause, Xiao continued:
"It is absolutely impossible for humans and soul beasts to coexist peacefully!"

Gu Yuena was stunned when she heard this. Her pupils trembled slightly, and she tried to refute:
"How would you know if you don't try?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them had become somewhat tense, Wendy quickly spoke up and said seriously:

"We are so sure because we have tried! Wolves and lambs can never shake hands and make peace."

"If... you think there is a way, why not tell it to everyone? You might say that we should stop humans from hunting soul beasts. That would mean that humans in this world would no longer be able to practice."

"Humans who cannot practice will always live in fear of being surrounded by giant beasts. When hunters put down their spears, they will become food for the beasts!"

"The so-called peaceful coexistence is nothing but empty talk."

Gu Yuena fell into complete silence after hearing this.

The atmosphere became quiet again.

suddenly.

Xiao stared at the bonfire in front of him and said solemnly:

"Perhaps, there is a way to allow soul beasts and humans to coexist peacefully."

For a while.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao.

Xiao paused for a moment and continued:

"The Emperor once said that when you become the master of the chessboard, you are qualified to set the rules of the game!"

"In the old days of Liyue, the demons were rampant and wars were raging. The Emperor single-handedly suppressed the entire demon war!"

"The Emperor has become the master of the chessboard of Liyue with his absolute power."

"Whether it's humans, immortals, yakshas, ​​or ghosts, they must all follow the rules of the game set by the Emperor. The demons who are unwilling to obey will be suppressed by the Emperor with thunder!"

"Since then, Liyue has entered an era of peace that lasted nearly two thousand years."

Speaking of which.

Xiao looked at Gu Yuena and said earnestly:

"If... you are strong enough, strong enough to become the master of the chess game of 'Douluo Continent'. You can naturally set 'peaceful coexistence between humans and soul beasts' as the rules of the game."

"Those who are unwilling to follow the rules of the game, whether they are humans or soul beasts, will all be killed!"

"Although such rules are absurd and tyrannical to both humans and soul beasts, but... only in this way can you realize that wish."
