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

Under the suffocating pressure of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Xiong Jun's arrogant expression instantly turned into fear.

He hurriedly turned to Gu Yuena, knelt down with a thud, and loudly begged for forgiveness:

"I was wrong, my lord! Please forgive my rudeness!"

Di Tian then slowly withdrew his oppressive aura.

Gu Yuena waved her hand with a slightly helpless expression, her tone calm:

Get up.

Her gaze swept over Xiong Jun, her voice carrying a deeper meaning:

"Your concerns are not entirely unfounded. But..."

Gu Yuena paused slightly, as if trying to catch some vague premonition.

"Connecting this to the previous divination about the auspicious beast, I have a vague intuition."

She raised her eyes, her gaze seemingly piercing through the forest, looking towards the distant East Sea City.

"Will I be able to break through the limitations of different planes and regain my complete divine power in the future...?"

"Perhaps, it is closely related to this being named 'Huo Yuhao' who lived in the same era as me."

After Gu Yuena finished speaking, all the ferocious beasts fell into deep thought, each digesting the weight of her words.

After a moment, the Demon King cautiously asked:

"My lord, you have only recently been reborn as a human, and your cultivation is still shallow."

He carefully considered his words and tentatively asked:

"Should we... go and investigate his strengths and weaknesses for you first?"

Gu Yuena remained silent for a moment.

Her brilliant mind, brimming with extraordinary wisdom, raced through the air before she decisively shook her head.

"Absolutely not."

Her voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable determination.

"If he really is the Huo Yuhao from ten thousand years ago, your rash probing could anger him..."

Gu Yuena's gaze swept over the beasts, her tone growing increasingly somber:

"The consequences could be very serious."

She paused briefly, letting the ferocious beasts truly feel the weight of her words.

"If he still possesses cultivation, then naturally none of you can handle him. In that case, if you are only injured, it would be a good outcome."

"Furthermore, how deep his mind and how unpredictable his methods were ten thousand years ago."

"So even if his cultivation is no longer intact, how could he not have left behind enough safeguards for self-protection, or even enough to counterattack?"

A deep sense of apprehension flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes, and she finally said slowly:

"Don't forget..."

"That level twelve Source Fusion Soul Guidance Missile, whose power is enough to destroy the world, was made by him."

After becoming the personal disciple of Leng Yaozhu, the deputy tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, Gu Yuena had already thoroughly studied countless materials related to human soul guidance technology.

She has gained a clear and concrete understanding of the power contained in human soul-guided technology.

On the Douluo Continent today, countless missile silos are hidden.

Each launch silo is capable of launching level 10 to 12 Source Fusion Soul Guided Missiles into distant locations.

That level of quantity is far beyond what a few ferocious beasts could destroy in a short time.

Who can guarantee that Huo Yuhao, who developed such a world-destroying weapon ten thousand years ago, is not capable of opening these launch silos and pressing the switch that could destroy all the soul beast settlements in an instant?

With that thought in mind, Gu Yuena took a deep breath and then gave her final, decisive order:

"Therefore, I only need one of you who is relatively free and cautious enough to secretly infiltrate that city."

As for contact with him, I will handle that myself.

Immediately afterwards, her gaze fell on the young man's figure.

"Demon spirit".

"This task is yours."

Having said that, the six ferocious beasts no longer had any doubts or objections to Gu Yuena's decision.

Such thorough and meticulous consideration... truly worthy of being the Lord of Soul Beasts, possessing astonishing wisdom!

"Yes, my lord!"

……

Donghai City, Donghai Airport.

A girl wearing sunglasses and a mask, with beautiful silver hair, stepped out of the Soul Guidance Aircraft alone, still looking travel-worn.

She crossed the jet bridge and entered the long connecting corridor of the terminal building.

Gu Yuena stopped in her tracks, her amethyst-like eyes peering through her sunglasses out the floor-to-ceiling windows of the corridor—

A long line of enormous soul-guided passenger planes was parked quietly, as neat as a flock of geese.

She gazed at them, her eyes sweeping over the streamlined fuselages, and at the same time, she personally felt the rapid progress of human soul-guided technology, which was on full display here.

Gu Yuena continued walking forward. The scenery outside the window remained the same, but a myriad of emotions welled up in her heart.

"Humans... their creativity is truly terrifying. Nowadays, even ordinary people without any soul power can easily board one of these countless planes and fly from one end of the continent to the other."

More than 100,000 years ago, as the Silver Dragon King, she fled from the God Realm to the Douluo World, where she could only see one primitive and wild landscape after another.

How could she have imagined that, more than 100,000 years later, the world would have become like this?

Of course, what Gu Yuena didn't expect was that in terms of the speed of technological development, the Douluo World was already considered quite backward.

Although the terminal connecting corridor is far shorter than that of Mingdu's Federal Capital Airport, it is still long enough for Gu Yuena to walk for a while at a normal pace.

The scene in the corridor was monotonous, and she soon found it somewhat boring.

So, Gu Yuena skillfully took out her soul-guided phone and looked down at it as she walked.

She tapped her finger and opened the pinned group chat – "Starry Sky Forest Core Group".

A few unread messages of blessing flashed across her eyes; they were greetings sent by several ferocious beasts for her journey.

Gu Yuena smiled slightly.

The two female beasts, Zi Ji and Bi Ji, also sent private messages to each other.

The content was largely similar, essentially advising her to be careful when facing "Huo Yuhao" and not to overwork herself for the sake of the plan.

"The affairs between the human and soul beast races are handled by several of our subordinates. Even if you're just going to experience the life of a human soul master, that's fine with you," they added.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena recalled that before her departure, Biji had specially prepared a lot of clothes for her.

From casual wear to formal attire, everything was tailored to her size, each piece exquisite and beautiful.

This thoughtfulness warmed her heart.

Just then, the Soul Guide phone vibrated slightly—it was a call from Mo Yuan, the branch tower master of the Spirit Pagoda in Donghai City.

She pressed the answer button.

Mo Yuan's voice came from the other end, first offering polite greetings to her, the deputy tower master's personal disciple, before getting to the point:

"Miss Gu, you must be tired from your journey. I will come to pick you up personally later and take you to our Spirit Pagoda to settle in."

The call was brief and to the point.

Gu Yuena put away her phone without stopping. When she looked up again, she found herself in the spacious arrival hall of the airport.

Bright signs come into view—

"Welcome to Donghai City."

She stopped and stared at the words. A name quietly surfaced in her mind.

"Donghai City..."

She murmured to herself, her voice so soft it almost disappeared into the air.

"Huo Yuhao, yao?"

"Is he really here? Ten thousand years ago, he was able to contend with me with his mortal body..."

"Why haven't you ascended to the realm of gods?"

……

After Mo Yuan arrived at the waiting car outside the hall and picked up Gu Yuena, he drove straight to the Spirit Pagoda in Donghai City.

Upon arriving inside the tower, Mo Yuan personally led the way, taking her to the top floor.

"This suite has been prepared for Miss Gu. You can live here in peace from now on." He pushed open the door and gestured to her.

Gu Yuena walked into the spacious living room, looked around, then turned to Mo Yuan and gave a slight bow:

"Thank you, Master Mo."

Mo Yuan nodded slightly.

When his gaze swept over her, her breathtaking beauty startled him, but he quickly regained his composure, his tone remaining courteous:

"Ms. Gu Yuena, if you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact me by phone. I might not see your messages on the app."

He paused for a moment, then asked:

"Besides that, is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena unconsciously touched the hem of her clothes with her fingertips.

She lowered her eyes slightly, as if considering her words, before raising her beautiful purple eyes to look at Mo Yuan after a moment.

Then, she tentatively asked:

"Lord Mo, I've heard..."

She paused, as if it were just a casual remark, but the faint hint of urgency in her voice couldn't be hidden.

"You have a disciple named... 'Huo Yuhao'?"
