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

Chapter 117 Memories of the Past

"System, use Teyvat Egg, target: Silver Dragon King Guyuena."

"Ding, successful use."

The next moment, Gu Yuena's soul began to flicker.

The scattered fragments began to converge towards the soul, slowly coalescing into the form of Gu Yuena.

The moment Gu Yuena solidified her form, her body collapsed limply into Lang Lei's arms.

Unlike game characters who can survive with only one drop of blood left, it would truly be a medical miracle if someone in real life could survive such severe injuries.

Lang Lei took out the sweet flower-stuffed chicken that he had prepared beforehand and fed it to Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena's condition then recovered.

"It's like I just took a nap..." Gu Yuena's voice revealed a hint of disappointment.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you that disappointed that you didn't die?" Lang Lei said helplessly.

"I'm so tired..."

Gu Yuena's voice revealed a deep sense of exhaustion.

Dying like that wouldn't be so bad, no pain, no pressure...

Her sole purpose in life was to exact revenge on the divine realm and revive the soul beast race. Now, he has found someone more capable of doing just that. Trading her death for this opportunity is actually quite a good thing...

"Well... I don't understand people like you who carry such heavy responsibilities," Lang Lei said. "I think you should meet Kevin; you two should have a lot in common."

Both bear heavy burdens, both are the strongest of their races, both have endured the erosion of countless years, and both face enemies that are almost invincible...

I have to say, they really do look alike.

"Kevin?"

"That's right, you should be inside the light screen—oh wait, you might not have seen it because you were asleep..." Lang Lei realized, "Di Tian should have reported it to you, right?"

"Kevin, the warrior bearing the inscription of [Salvation], has a long story to tell, but now is not the time to tell it. Let's get down to business first."

"Okay." Gu Yuena nodded. "Can you give me a heads-up? How strong are you right now?"

Gu Yuena has recovered more than half of her injuries and can probably barely exert the strength of a first-level god.

"Alright, alright, it seems I really need to put your mind at ease."

Considering that Gu Yuena had helped him improve his strength considerably, Lang Lei decided to reveal some things to her.

Lang Lei glanced at the system panel and replied:

"My mental strength is probably among the best of the second-level gods. Unless you specialize in mental strength, it's generally difficult for a second-level god to surpass my mental strength."

"Under the effect of one of my soul skills, anything below the level of a second-tier god will basically die in droves. However, this soul skill doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. By the way, what is your approximate mental strength?"

"Peak of a first-level god, perhaps?" Gu Yuena said somewhat uncertainly.

"That's good, no need to worry about accidental injury." Lang Lei nodded. "As for his physical body... it's at the level of a second-level god."

"However, with the added boost from my soul skills, I should be able to withstand the God King's attacks without dying. Hey, don't look at me like that. I'd like more offensive skills too, but that's not something I can control!"

Gu Yuena was speechless. A level two god was actually withstanding the attack of a god king. You must be afraid of dying to have stacked so many defensive skills!

"But that's not enough..." Gu Yuena said hesitantly. "Although many first-level gods died in the previous God Realm War, there are still quite a few first-level gods left. If we lack offensive means, we will be easily hampered."

"By the way, the soul skill effect provided by the soul ring you sacrificed for me earlier is quite good. It should be able to reach the level of killing a first-level god."

The Silver Dragon King and the Gold Dragon King, both at the level of second-tier gods, should be able to fight against first-tier gods without being defeated. So, the dragon god summoned later should be able to kill a first-tier god, right?

"But what about those five god-kings?" Gu Yuena reminded her. "Leaving aside the God of Asura, the god of law enforcement, we can't even handle the God of Destruction. Not to mention the God of Evil, the God of Goodness, and the God of Life."

"I'll stop you, you'd better run!"

"..."

"Are you trying to drag me to my death...?" Gu Yuena rarely complained.

"No way~" Lang Lei waved his hand. "Never mind, I won't tease you anymore. My second martial soul, Heavenly Fire Judgment, can kill even a God King. If I unleash it at full power, destroying the God Realm wouldn't be a problem."

"Hmm? Really? What price will you have to pay?" Gu Yuena asked Lang Lei with unusual concern.

"If it's just fighting the God King, there won't be much of a cost to me. But if I want to give the God Realm a good beating, I'll probably get injured and be weak for a while," Lang Lei replied nonchalantly.

"This is truly...unbelievable," Gu Yuena murmured.

"What, you don't believe me?" Lang Lei raised an eyebrow. "That's perfect, let me show you."

The Divine Judgment of Heaven at its peak.

With that, Lang Lei opened the Tree Sea Screening Room, cut out a video of Kevin using the Heavenly Fire Judgment on the moon, then casually added one hundred Gold Soul Coins and started playing it.

"Is this the mysterious light screen that Di Tian mentioned?" Gu Yuena said in shock. "I never imagined that you were the one behind it all."

Lang Lei's previous actions were undoubtedly telling Gu Yuena that the light screen was related to him, and that he could even control the light screen to a certain extent.

"What's wrong? Is there any impact?" Lang Lei asked with a smile. "Do you feel a little more at ease now?"

"Hmm..." Gu Yuena looked at the light screen in the sky with a complicated expression...

-

"Hey, isn't that Kevin up there?" Alicia said, pulling Little Greta and Lan Ying along. "Kevin's really making waves on Douluo Continent now!"

"Uncle Kevin is amazing." Little Greta nodded in agreement.

"Oh my, I wonder what will happen when the people of this continent see that giant ice block? I'm really looking forward to it!"

-

Unlike Alicia and the others, the higher-ups of Douluo Continent felt the power of the fusion warriors more acutely at this moment, and their fear of collapse reached a new level.

However, none of this mattered to Lang Lei anymore. At this moment, Lang Lei was looking at the system panel, where a new function had appeared.

"Ding, congratulations, host, your connection value has reached 100%. The [Past Memories] function has been activated."

I wonder if it's because the reward was less this time that they got eight more years of lifespan.

Lang Lei, however, didn't care. He'd just use the Tree Sea Screening Room feature less often from now on...

"Past memories? Never mind, I'll find out about them when I get back..." Lang Lei muttered to himself.

"How are you feeling now?"

"Can you do what Kevin does?" Gu Yuena asked curiously.

"..."
