Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 116 Gu Yuena as a Soul Ring?

In the sky above the Star Dou Great Forest, Lang Lei spread his Courage Dragon Wings and flew while using the dragon scales that Gu Yuena had given him to contact Gu Yuena.

Almost the instant after Gu Yuena responded, Lang Lei used his spatial powers to appear directly in front of her.

"You've come..." Gu Yuena's voice was filled with weakness.

"Yes, I'm here to fulfill my promise." Lang Lei nodded. "Also, you should eat this. I feel like you're not doing well... Is it because of the separation of Na'er last time?"

Lang Lei took out a Sweet Flower-Stuffed Chicken and used his soul power to carry it to Gu Yuena.

"This is?"

Something that can restore you to your original state.

Gu Yuena had no suspicions and swallowed it almost without hesitation.

The next moment, a green light surged from Gu Yuena's body.

"What is this? It's amazing!" Gu Yuena transformed into human form and came to Lang Lei.

"It's just food, nothing special." Lang Lei didn't waste any more time on this issue. "You're really going too far for the soul beast race, aren't you?"

It wasn't very obvious then, but this time when she came, Gu Yuena was noticeably weaker than when they last met.

"You always need to have a backup plan, right?" Gu Yuena's exquisite face revealed a stunning smile.

She didn't think she could hide it from Lang Lei, after all, it was too obvious.

The creation of Na'er and her proximity to Lang Lei was intended to evoke Lang Lei's compassion.

Even if the Soul Beast race is ultimately defeated, with Na'er and Lang Lei's connection, the Soul Beast race will not be wiped out.

"Never mind, whatever makes you happy. Na'er is a very cute and obedient girl, a nice little girl." Lang Lei mentioned that Na'er now indeed plays an indispensable role in his plans. Putting all that aside, Na'er herself is also very likable.

At least he, Ellie, Little Gretchen, Xuanbing, and Lihuo all liked that innocent little girl.

"That's good." Gu Yuena nodded. "You mean, you're going to the realm of gods?"

"That's right, I'm here to ask for directions," Lang Lei said confidently. "To be honest, I don't know that place at all, and it'll probably take me a long time to find it."

"Are you sure? Actually, there's no rush. With your current strength..." Gu Yuena hesitated.

"Relax, I'm pretty strong now, no problem at all," Lang Lei said confidently.

Although he is currently only level 60 on the surface, his physical fitness and mental strength are genuine god-level.

With the addition of Heavenly Fire Judgment, Courageous Dragon Wings, Primordial Authority, and a series of other means, it would be no problem for him to kill his way in and out of the God Realm seven times over.

not to mention……

He still has a Herrscher of Reason trial card that he hasn't used yet!

If Lang Lei weren't worried about directly linking the Honkai to Douluo Continent, he would have wanted to try out what it felt like to race through the God Realm of Douluo Continent long ago.

If someone with this kind of setup still doesn't dare to go to the realm of gods, he might as well just drown in his harem.

"How about... we bring Miss Gretsch or Miss Alicia along?"

"..."

It seems Gu Yuena is still a little worried...

"Don't worry, I can manage on my own. Bringing them along would only restrict my actions."

Gu Yuena pondered for a moment, then asked again, still uneasy, "Aren't we going to make any more preparations?"

Lang Lei really couldn't hold back anymore...

Looking Gu Yuena up and down, a bold idea suddenly popped into Lang Lei's mind.

"Gu Yuena, if you're really worried, how about sacrificing yourself to me?"

The atmosphere instantly turned somber...

"Of course, I have something that can revive you, guaranteeing you'll be in even better condition than you are now," Lang Lei assured him. "And there won't be any restrictions on you."

He has no more Honkai fragments.

but!

He also has a mysterious prop—Teyvat eggs!

That thing can't be used by myself, so it's perfect for Gu Yuena to use!

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Gu Yuena is willing to trust him.

But Lang Lei knew it would be difficult; after all, it was tantamount to entrusting his life entirely to someone he had barely met.

As for whether it's possible to absorb the spirit ring generated by Gu Yuena...

This is a sacrifice!

Furthermore, Lang Lei's last spirit ring was 1.5 million years old!

The age limit is not equivalent to the lifespan. All clues suggest that the soul ring that Gu Yuena generated is most likely no more than two million years old.

As for compatibility issues... there's no need to worry at all; you probably won't find anything more compatible than this in the Douluo Continent.

Gu Yuena seemed to be struggling, and after a long time, she spoke.

"I need you to swear an oath, an oath with your life," Gu Yuena said. "If you cannot resurrect me, you must lead the Soul Beast race to glory."

"Of course, no problem." Lang Lei readily agreed. He had mentioned before that oaths on the Douluo Continent were truly effective, which would alleviate some of Gu Yuena's concerns. "I, Lang Lei, swear by my life that I will revive Gu Yuena within one day after her sacrifice. If I fail, I will dedicate my life to the revival of soul beasts."

Gu Yuena breathed a sigh of relief, her purple eyes turning to Lang Lei.

"bring it on……"

Lang Lei waved his hand and used the Primal Authority to create an isolation barrier.

The next moment, a powerful energy fluctuation emanated from Gu Yuena's body.

Then... Gu Yuena hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to hug Lang Lei.

Lang Lei's first martial soul, the Autumn Burial Dragon King, took the initiative to appear and established a faint connection with Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena's body gradually became ethereal, while Lang Lei's aura continued to rise...

……

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your martial soul has evolved. The Burial Autumn Earth Dragon King has evolved into the Burial Autumn Divine Dragon."

As expected, Lang Lei's level jumped to level 70 again, granting him another ten chances to draw prizes.

After the martial soul evolves, the effects of the previous soul skills are also enhanced, with higher values, such as "Unable to Move an Inch" and "Titan's Roar".

The only thing that surprised Lang Lei was that the soul ring that Gu Yuena sacrificed for him only had one soul skill, but the effect was indeed quite powerful.

Soul Skill: Dragon God's Lament

Effect: Summons phantoms of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King to assist in battle. The strength of the Golden Dragon King's phantom depends on the host's physical attributes, while the strength of the Silver Dragon King's phantom depends on the host's spiritual power. The phantoms possess all the abilities of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, and once summoned, they no longer consume the host's soul power, instead replenishing themselves by absorbing soul power from the environment.

If one of the Golden Dragon King phantoms or the Silver Dragon King phantom is destroyed, and the other phantom still exists, the destroyed phantom will revive with half health after ten minutes. This effect has no cooldown.

If the Golden Dragon King phantom and the Silver Dragon King phantom are destroyed at the same time, they will merge into the Dragon God phantom, and their strength will be greatly enhanced!

Note: The phantom is immune to all crowd control abilities.

My own extremely high potential has also given this soul skill an extremely high potential. As expected of me!

The addition of a truly disgusting mechanic has taken this skill to another level of power.

After Gu Yuena's million-year soul bone was given to the Heavenly Fire Judgment to be swallowed, the fourth soul ring of the second martial soul, Heavenly Fire Judgment, reached a condensation progress of 5.3 million years.

Finally, Lang Lei extracted Gu Yue Na's soul from the soul ring, and then took out Teyvat fried eggs and sweet flower-stuffed chicken, preparing to revive Gu Yue Na.
