Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

From Di Tian's sharp suit and Bi Ji's elegant cheongsam, one can see that over the course of ten thousand years, the human and soul beast races have indeed long since turned hostility into friendship, and their relationship has become increasingly harmonious.

Even ferocious beasts with such extraordinary cultivation levels have become accustomed to human creations and culture, and even enjoy them.

Only a shut-in like the Demon King, who spends all his time in the old forest, and a big, simple-minded guy like Xiong Jun, still harbor some inexplicable estrangement and resistance towards human affairs.

After the six ferocious beasts chatted for a while about their experiences and observations in the human world, Di Tian seemed to sense something and immediately raised his hand slightly to signal the other beasts to stop chatting.

The remaining five ferocious beasts immediately understood, stood up straight, and looked in the same direction with serious expressions.

Soon, a beautiful girl with silver hair and purple eyes appeared in that direction.

"Welcome, My Lord!"

Upon seeing the figure, the six ferocious beasts shouted in unison, and then knelt down on one knee in front of the girl.

Gu Yuena emerged calmly from the shadows of the Star Dou Great Forest, the sunlight shining brightly on her long silver hair.

After glancing around at her six loyal beast subordinates, Gu Yuena smiled slightly and then said softly:

"Everyone, please rise."

"yes!"

The voices of the six ferocious beasts rang out in unison once again.

Di Tian used his palm to create a gentle breeze, blowing away the dust from his knees, and then spoke first:

"Why has the Lord summoned us here for this meeting today?"

After he finished speaking, the other five ferocious beasts also looked at their master, the Silver Dragon King, who had been restored to human form, with expressions of curiosity and worry.

After all, the Lord's fundamental purpose in choosing to be reborn as a human was very clear:

Since the divine realm disappeared from her perception, she has been searching for a way to break through the shackles of the plane, regain her divine status, and then lead the soul beast race to a truly free and vast future.

For her, even though the human and spirit beast races had coexisted peacefully for ten thousand years, time was still far from enough—

Soul beasts have long lifespans, with ten thousand years passing in the blink of an eye; while humans, though short-lived, are fickle, ambitious, and their strength expands at a terrifying speed.

Gu Yuena couldn't be sure that this peace could last forever.

Especially in this era, there are countless powerful individuals among humans, and soul-guided technology has developed to the point where it can threaten her, the Silver Dragon King.

The balance of power between the two sides has long since shifted, and the soul beast race is increasingly in a passive position.

Who can guarantee that humanity in the future will not be able to elevate the plane to a god-like level through its own power?

When that time comes, once they no longer need the soul beast race to provide soul spirits, will they choose to exterminate them all?

The mass production of artificial souls had already made Gu Yuena realize this dangerous future trend.

Even more dangerously, even though the divine realm is no longer there, Gu Yuena has a vague, uneasy feeling about what might happen—

Someone of a higher level than her had already secretly laid out a plan, sealing the future of the Douluo Continent.

Because the origin of that abyss plane that appeared out of nowhere more than 6,000 years ago was too mysterious.

Tang Shenwang: Hey hey hey, are you talking about my grand plan that will last for ten thousand years?

Transforming into human form was the most daring attempt among the plans devised by Gu Yuena for all these complex reasons.

The Silver Dragon King dared to take such a risk because she also utilized the power of fate divination possessed by the Imperial Auspicious Beast after absorbing the "Lucky Coin" that Huo Yuhao had unearthed ten thousand years ago.

The divination clearly shows that, in this era, walking in human form, she has a very high chance of finding her way forward.

Although there have been some frictions and setbacks in the relationship between humans and spirit beasts, it is still generally harmonious.

What on earth happened that made the Lord suddenly summon all these ferocious beasts here?

"Tomorrow, I'm going to Donghai City," Gu Yuena said calmly.

"..."

Di Tian's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and the other five ferocious beasts also fell into a brief silence.

—They were all core members of the Spirit Pagoda, and at that moment, the same thought arose in their minds, but none of them dared to say it aloud:

Is there anything the Lord can say that no one knows?

However, Gu Yuena's next words were like a silent thunderclap, abruptly shattering the silence:

"You're probably wondering why I left Mingdu for some unremarkable place." Her voice deepened as her gaze swept across each face. "Now, I'm going to tell you the real reason I want to go there."

She paused for a moment, then spoke clearly, word by word:

"A gifted human boy named Huo Yuhao has appeared at the Spirit Pagoda in Donghai City."

"Not only is the name the same—his appearance and martial spirit are exactly the same as that person from ten thousand years ago."

Huo Yuhao.

As the first tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, he was an old acquaintance of all five ferocious beasts, except for Zi Ji.

This is precisely why, in this day and age, these ferocious beasts who have lived for ten thousand years are the ones who understand the terror of legendary figures most deeply.

Di Tian, ​​in particular, began to show fear upon hearing this name.

Di Tian: Oh my god, this is terrifying!

Ten thousand years ago, he had fought Huo Yuhao to the death once, and he understood better than anyone else the terrifying sense of oppression from that human.

Among all humans, only when facing this Spirit Ice Douluo would his pride as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King be utterly crushed.

"So, my lord..."

In the dead silence, it was Brigitte who spoke first.

She was kind by nature and, apart from Zi Ji, was the only ferocious beast present who had never directly faced Huo Yuhao's sharp edge.

"Are you planning to go to Donghai City in person... to confirm the child's identity?"

"good."

Gu Yuena nodded, her gaze sweeping over the beasts.

"His former strength was indeed enough to make the entire soul beast race wary—even I was no exception."

She paused slightly, her heavy tone turning calm.

"But let's not forget that he is also the greatest contributor to the peace between us and humanity that has lasted for ten thousand years, and he deserves our gratitude."

"Therefore, regarding this suddenly appearing 'Huo Yuhao'..."

"We don't need to, and shouldn't, harbor excessive hostility."

Gu Yuena's attitude towards Huo Yuhao naturally won the approval of most of the ferocious beasts.

But just like how some impetuous students always interrupt the teacher in class—at this moment, a gruff voice started shouting.

"My lord! I'm just worried!" The burly Xiong Jun suddenly stepped forward, his face full of "wisdom" and "straightforwardness." "That person is very powerful. What if he ruins your plan to restore your divine power?"

He waved his thick arm, his voice booming and echoing along the shores of Lake Life:

"If you ask me, once you regain all your power, why would we need to waste time talking to humans? We'll just make them kneel down and obey!"

"Mr. Bear, do not be rude!"

A low shout exploded like a thunderclap.

Di Tian suddenly turned around, and his golden dragon eyes suddenly shone with a terrifying light.

The terrifying pressure poured out like a tangible force, transforming into streaks of golden light that enveloped Xiong Jun completely.

"What nonsense are you spouting?! When did it become your place to question the Lord's decisions?"

His voice was icy cold, carrying an unquestionable air of authority:

"Immediately apologize to the Lord."
