Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 197: Is there also a divine realm?

Gu Yuena's voice was clear and resolute, as if stating something perfectly natural. She extended three slender, jade-like fingers: "My request is simple. First, you need to continue providing me with your source of reincarnation."

"Secondly, the son of God who carries my brother's essence must be dealt with by me; you must not interfere."

"Finally, return to me the complete remains of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings."

Her demands were concise and to the point; seemingly only three, yet each one hit the nail on the head and involved significant implications.

Harosa's phantom listened quietly, without any violent fluctuations, but the invisible pressure suddenly increased.

He suddenly let out a very soft chuckle, breaking the silence: "Heh—Gu Yuena, you're quite the calculating one. You seem to have made three promises, but upon closer examination, they offer me no real benefit whatsoever. Instead, you're demanding three conditions from me."

He refuted each point, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable sharpness: "First, my plans for the Douluo Continent have already begun and are progressing quite smoothly. Whether you support or obstruct them, it won't actually change the overall situation. If you insist on making things difficult for me on this matter—" Harosa's illusory figure leaned forward slightly, with a hint of provocation, "Let's fight right now and see if you really have the ability to 'stop' me."

He was not afraid of starting a war with Gu Yuena ahead of time, and was full of confidence.

"Secondly, you want your soul beasts to come to my Rebirth God Realm to become gods and complete the laws?" Harosa's voice carried a hint of mockery. "You seem to have misunderstood something. In this Douluo plane with its incomplete rules, besides my Rebirth God Realm, do they have any other path to godhood? Is this a benefit you're giving me, or are you and your followers—asking me for something? Their godhood will enhance the overall strength of your soul beast race, and this power will ultimately obey you, the sovereign of soul beasts."

"While I may gain some benefits from the completion of the laws, it's more of a mutually beneficial arrangement. In fact, from a strategic perspective, you are the ones who need this path more. You're using what I'm providing—something you desperately need—as a condition for giving back to me," Gu Yuena, your calculations are far too shrewd.

"Thirdly, the so-called united front against the return of the Douluo God Realm—is this some favor you're bestowing upon me?" Harosa pointed out incisively, "That's something you had to do! It's your blood feud, your battle for survival! Even without me, when Tang San returns, would you fawn over him? Our alliance was your inevitable choice, so how did it end up being seen as your 'sincerity' and 'benefits'?"

"So—" You're asking me to change my conditions and lower them.

Harosa's analysis was clear and logical, dissecting Gu Yuena's seemingly generous offer in detail and pointing out that it was a completely unsolicited offer.

However, his words did not provoke Gu Yuena's anger or rebuttal; instead, they elicited a burst of silvery laughter from her.

The laughter carried an undisguised mockery, yet strangely mixed with a hint of delight at discovering something amusing: "Hahaha—Harosa, oh Harosa, interesting, truly interesting."

She laughed for a while before stopping, her purple eyes gleaming with mockery: "You don't really think that creating a divine realm is some unprecedented, unparalleled feat, do you? Since you were able to successfully open up the so-called 'Rebirth Divine Realm,' you should understand that its most fundamental principle is actually not complicated."

Her tone suddenly shifted, carrying the pride and wisdom of a dragon lord: "Do you really think that my soul beast race, having endured such a long period of time and faced the oppression of the divine realm for millennia, wouldn't have any—her own backup plans and resources? You can have a divine realm, so why can't I?"

"Besides, you won't fight me, and I don't need to fight you either. Douluo is meaningless to my soul beast clan, so I can just destroy it."

"And the Water and Fire Dragon Kings must return home; the dragon race must not be humiliated!"

Gu Yuena's tone was very firm.

These words struck Harosa like a thunderbolt!

Gu Yuena's meaning couldn't be clearer: she didn't only have the option of being reborn in the God Realm!

She may very well possess a separate world or secret realm suitable for soul beasts to become gods!

Her proposal to send soul beasts to the God Realm to become gods was a genuine intention to use the laws of soul beasts to "complete" and "strengthen" his God Realm. This was a truly generous gift that he could not refuse at the moment!

This also indirectly confirms a terrifying fact: the "divine realm" or "world" that Gu Yuena controls is probably more complete and comprehensive in its laws than her Rebirth Divine Realm, so much so that she does not urgently need soul beasts to complete it!

"What's going on?!" Harosa was shocked, his thoughts racing. "What's wrong with this Gu Yuena? How can she be so different from what I remember? How could she possibly possess a complete divine realm with all the laws? Is this a contingency plan left by the Dragon God? Or is she bluffing me?"

Could it be that Dragon Valley has also become a realm of gods?

Just as Harosa was filled with doubt and suspicion, Gu Yuena seemed to see through his suspicions. She didn't waste any more words, but simply raised her hand.

The next moment, an indescribable, vast aura, seemingly originating from the beginning of the universe, suddenly spread out!

A core the size of a fist, displaying incredibly complex chaotic colors, with what seemed to be the birth and death of countless galaxies within, and a dragon-shaped divine soul that, though illusory, exuded supreme majesty and commanded the submission of all dragons, appeared out of thin air in her palm!

It is naturally the Dragon God Core that Harosa witnessed before! The Dragon God's Soul!

The appearance of these two supreme divine objects seemed to instantly drain all the light and sound from the surroundings, causing the entire space at the bottom of the Lake of Life to freeze and tremble!

The phantom formed by Harosana's divine power began to flicker and distort violently under the terrifying pressure and law impact that surpassed the level of a god-king, becoming extremely unstable, like a candle flickering in the wind, which could collapse and disappear at any moment!

The reincarnation power transmitted from it was suppressed and dimmed.

This overwhelming display of power completely shattered Harosa's last remaining doubts.

The Dragon God, that being who surpasses even the God King, left behind a contingency plan and a wealth of resources that he could not currently imagine or fathom.

Gu Yuena seemed worried that Halosa's phantom might actually be dispersed by the Dragon God's aura, so she quickly flipped her hand and put the Dragon God's core and Dragon Soul back into storage.

The suffocating, overwhelming pressure receded like a tide.

She watched with composure as the illusory image of Harosa gradually calmed down, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Well? Now, do you believe it?"

Harosa's phantom remained silent for a moment, before the flickering light finally stabilized completely. In his mind, he had once again elevated the danger and importance of Gu Yuena to a whole new level.

Then, he suddenly let out a low chuckle that was hard to decipher. There was no anger in the chuckle; instead, there was a hint of amusement at having met his match.

"Tsk—I underestimated you. Impressive tactics, truly impressive tactics."

He paused, his tone becoming much more relaxed, even carrying a hint of barely perceptible appreciation: "However, that's for the best. With both sides evenly matched and having their own bargaining chips, we can truly discuss cooperation on an equal footing, can't we?"
