Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 227 Leaving

The Abyss Plane, once filled with chaos and a voracious appetite for energy, has now been completely reduced to nothingness.

It was a pure aggregate of energy, and its demise left no fragments of stars or continental remains, only absolute emptiness, as if it had never existed.

Perhaps, only the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd in Harosa's hand, a deep blue artifact radiating an aura that ignores all defenses, can serve as the final proof of that terrifying being who once drifted through the universe and frantically devoured countless planes.

In the void, Harosa and Gu Yuena faced each other from afar. The former's eyes were cold, and the power of reincarnation around her had not yet completely subsided, carrying a displeasure at having her feast disturbed;

The latter had bright silver eyes, and although her dragon might was restrained, she still maintained absolute dominance and vigilance. The faint light of the Dragon God's core was faintly visible between her brows.

The atmosphere was tense, with the wills of the two god-kings clashing silently in the void, stirring up subtle spatial ripples, as if another earth-shattering battle was about to erupt at any moment.

Finally, Harosa spoke first, his tone undisguisedly malicious: "Gu Yuena, instead of leading your soul beast tribe to seek revenge on humans, you come here every few days to cause me trouble. What's the reason for this?"

He couldn't understand why the Silver Dragon King kept staring at what he was holding.

Gu Yuena's voice was cold and clear, her reasoning both sound and direct: "The struggle for the Abyss's Origin is naturally for the purpose of reviving the Soul Beast race more quickly, which is itself a form of revenge against humanity. Powerful strength is the fundamental thing."

Harosa scoffed, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Oh? By your logic, shouldn't I also be included on your 'revenge' list? After all, by birth, I was once human too."

Gu Yuena shook her head slightly, her silver hair fluttering in the air: "Of course not. There was an exchange of benefits between you and me, and our previous cooperation was quite pleasant. Strictly speaking, you and I might—be able to call each other friends."

When she uttered the word "friends," her tone was flat, more like a strategic definition based on equal strength and the absence of direct conflict at the moment.

"Friends?" Harossa seemed to have heard something amusing, a cold and arrogant smile curving his lips. "A fine friend indeed! You'd better pray that you can forever maintain this strength that makes you my equal. After all..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Gu Yuena with an almost tangible intensity, his tone carrying an infuriating "appreciation":

'

This is my favorite friend who resists beatings.

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed across Gu Yuena's purple eyes. She felt her chest, which had been aching slightly from the shock of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, ache even more.

That bastard! His words showed absolutely no regard for a strong woman; he treated her like a tough punching bag, someone worth taking seriously!

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the unwavering coldness in each other's eyes, but both knew that continuing the fight would only result in mutual destruction. In the end, the standoff ended in silent understanding.

Harosa snorted coldly, no longer glancing at Gu Yuena, and turned to take a step forward, his figure already merging into the light of the Samsara God Realm.

The vast God Realm silently floated not far from the Douluo Plane, and did not move again, as if it had settled down and become a new and awe-inspiring neighbor of the Douluo Starfield.

Gu Yuena also transformed into a streak of silver light and disappeared into the depths of the void.

Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life.

The forest area is now several times larger than before, with towering ancient trees standing tall and full of vitality. The rich life force is almost tangible, flowing through the forest like mist. At its core, the Lake of Life has crystal-clear water that contains unimaginable and immense life energy.

Deep in the heart of the lake, mist rises.

Gu Yuena languidly soaked in the warm lake water, her flawless body partially visible beneath the clear surface, her long silver hair cascading down like the most luxurious silk. Her eyes were closed, her exquisite face bearing a faint trace of weariness from the battle.

Zi Ji, also completely naked, stood respectfully to the side, her slender hands gently massaging her master's shoulders and neck. The misty steam and shimmering waves veiled this boundless spring scenery with a hazy veil, but unfortunately, no one in this world was qualified, nor dared to appreciate this scene.

Zi Ji could vaguely sense that her lord was in a bad mood. His aura was colder than usual, and even carried a very faint, suppressed restlessness.

She guessed that her master's departure was likely due to a conflict with the Reincarnation God-King, and it seemed he hadn't gained much advantage. She dared not ask further, but instead served him even more attentively and gently.

After a long silence, Gu Yuena suddenly spoke, her voice devoid of emotion: "Zi Ji."

"Your subordinate is here," Zi Ji replied immediately.

"Later, go and inform Da Ming and Er Ming to start organizing the relocation of all the land-based soul beasts into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform plane in batches." Gu Yuena's tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable determination.

Zi Ji's massaging hands paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She couldn't help but cautiously ask, "My lord, if I may be so bold as to ask—why is this? The Star Dou Great Forest is expanding rapidly under your power, a sign of its revival. Why are you suddenly moving it all to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform?"

Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes, her purple pupils reflecting the shimmering light, deep and unfathomable: "If we stay any longer, we may face annihilation."

She exhaled softly, causing ripples to spread across the water before her: "Harosar's rate of power increase has exceeded my expectations. This time, the vast majority of the Abyss Plane's origin was devoured by him and his divine realm. Given time, his Samsara Divine Realm will undoubtedly become increasingly powerful and stable. At that time—"

She paused, her voice growing colder: "I am confident I can stand against him without defeat, but the Star Dou Great Forest, and indeed the entire Douluo Continent's spirit beast races, will become his easy targets. We cannot afford to gamble."

Zi Ji's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly understood the gravity of the situation: "My lord, do you mean—we're going to leave the Douluo Plane completely?"

"Hmm." Gu Yuena nodded gently, her gaze seemingly piercing through the lake water to see the distant future. "Harosa already has the ability to control the entire Douluo Continent. Moreover, Ya Li, the current core of the plane's life, has a very close relationship with him. If he wants to completely control this world, the process will be faster than we imagine. If we don't leave now, by the time his God Realm has fully digested the Abyss Origin and its rules cover Douluo Continent, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven for us to migrate as a whole."

She waved her hand: "Go. Also, tell Di Tian that before the migration is complete, he should retrieve the 'brother's' essence that is being held by Tang Wulin."

Zi Ji was deeply shaken, knowing this was the final decision. She dared not hesitate any longer and immediately replied respectfully, "Yes! Your subordinate obeys!"

She quietly rose, left the lake, conjured up clothes, and swiftly departed to carry out her orders.

Once again, only Gu Yuena remained in the Lake of Life. She slowly leaned back against the smooth lake stone, gazing up at the dappled sunlight filtering through the layers of leaves, letting out a barely audible sigh, tinged with a complex and enigmatic meaning: "Humans—truly the darlings of heaven and earth. In a mere hundred years, they have actually given birth to an existence comparable to mine—a being built over tens of thousands of years—"

The lake flowed silently, drowning out all whispers and thoughts.
