Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 115 The Plight of Soul Beasts

"You failed; you didn't forge a new path. If you force yourself to become the Dragon God, you will only end up like me, completely succumbing to madness and slaughtering all the soul beasts under your command once again."

Upon hearing this, a bitter expression appeared on Gu Yuena's face, her eyes filled with entanglement and helplessness, but most importantly, she felt a deep disappointment in herself. She didn't even know when the illusion had started.

Facing the Dragon God's gaze, Gu Yuena clenched her fists and pressed her lips into a thin line. She gritted her teeth, remained silent for a moment, and finally whispered, "I am not qualified to be the Dragon God."

At that moment, as her words fell, the most unwavering belief that had existed since the birth of the Silver Dragon King vanished like dust stirred up by a storm.

She asked, "I have only one last question. After I ask it, I will leave immediately and never disturb your slumber again in this lifetime."

The Dragon God watched as Gu Yuena's gaze hardened, a hint of hatred creeping into it, and he knew what she was about to say. He sighed deeply: "Ask away."

She mustered her courage and asked, "Why can't soul beasts become gods now?"

"Sigh, let's continue reading." The Dragon God's voice was somewhat low.

Guided by the Dragon God, Gu Yuena quickly shifted her perspective away from him and began to observe the entire battle from the sidelines. The Dragon God Realm had long been destroyed by the Dragon God himself, and the nine Dragon Kings had all perished. At present, the only ones who could threaten the Dragon God were the five human God Kings.

The Dragon God's desire for self-destruction surged. While suppressing his mad thoughts, he also wanted to atone for his sins. He and the Asura God hit it off immediately.

The Dragon God, having lowered all his defenses, was cleaved in two by the Asura Sword.

On his deathbed, he knew that if any soul beast continued to imitate his path, it would inevitably fall into the same madness. Therefore, as the master of the Divine Dragon Realm, he issued an order: "Unless the Dragon God reappears, soul beasts will never be able to become gods."

Then, the Dragon God's body was split in two by the Asura Sword. The Golden Dragon King transformed into his mad will and was forever suppressed in the God Realm; while the Silver Dragon King was deliberately let go by the five great God Kings of the God Realm, giving the successor of the Dragon God's throne a sliver of hope.

But when the remaining ten percent of the divine beasts arrived, seeing the tragic scene of the Dragon God's slaying and the destruction of the Dragon God Realm, all the soul beasts went into an unprecedented frenzy. Ignoring the advice of the human gods, they rushed forward and engaged in fierce battles with the humans, ultimately suffering heavy casualties.

"It really was you who gave the order!" Gu Yuena was stunned, her pupils trembling, incredulous.

It turns out that for tens of thousands of years, the soul beasts have mistakenly believed that the inability of the beast race to become gods was due to manipulation by the divine realm, and have been trying to prevent the resurrection of the dragon god.

Little did anyone know, it was all just a beautiful misunderstanding!

"Now that you know the whole story, leave..." the Dragon God whispered.

In the instant she turned, the distance between Gu Yuena and him rapidly increased; almost in the blink of an eye, she was separated by tens of thousands of miles. Her heart was filled with resentment and anger, and she couldn't help but roar, "Do you know that soul beasts cannot become gods? Every hundred thousand years, they are struck by heavenly lightning, their path to survival blocked. How many beastmen have perished under this heavenly tribulation!"

However, the Dragon God remained unmoved, his eyes empty as he no longer paid attention to the outside world, letting Gu Yuena's voice echo in the void.

There is no greater sorrow than a broken heart, and at this moment, he had only one wish: to wait for a qualified successor to entrust the position of Dragon God to him, after which he could reunite with his wife and children forever.

-

Gu Yuena suddenly awoke, and the scene before her became clear. She saw Bai Xu sitting cross-legged before her, resting with his eyes closed. The words to rebuke the Dragon God were on the tip of her tongue, but she would never have the chance to utter them.

"Looks like you've failed." Bai Xu slowly stood up, his tone calm, as if he already knew about Gu Yuena's defeat.

"Yes... what you said is true, everything is true! Soul beasts cannot become gods because of the Dragon God's order. It's like a curse, turning into endless heavenly lightning, blocking the path of cultivation for the beast race. Even if I devour Tang Wulin, absorb the Dragon God's core, and forcibly become the Dragon God, I will only be repeating the same mistake in the end." Gu Yuena's voice was low, her expression was gloomy, and she lowered her head slightly, as if she had completely lost her way in the future.

At this moment, she was lost in deep confusion. The fate of soul beasts being unable to become gods had already been set by the Dragon God, and she was powerless to change it. To break this curse, she had to become the Dragon God, but this path had led to a dead end, with no way out.

Bai Xu's voice slowly rang out: "I have kept my promise to protect you this time, allowing you to meet the Dragon God. Now I am immortal, and even if I die, I can return. You no longer need to stay by my side; the restrictions have been lifted. From now on, you can act as you please."

He flew away, leaving Gu Yuena alone, standing there forlornly. Silently, she stared blankly at the floating core of the Dragon God before her, her heart filled with a complex mix of emotions.

She didn't know how long she stood there, or what kind of struggle and thought went through her mind, but finally she slowly put away the Dragon God Core and turned to walk towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

-

The Lake of Life remained unchanged despite Bai Xu's presence, still appearing dry. However, the core area now had many unfamiliar faces. These were ferocious beasts that were 100,000 years old or older, transformed into human form, guarding the Beast God at the core, along with the Selfless Dharma Image attached to its shoulder.

"Sect Master, what are your orders?" Di Tian bowed respectfully.

"Nothing important," Sui Yuan's gaze swept over all the soul beasts present, his tone carrying a hint of deeper meaning, "It's just that the boss is here to show consideration for his subordinates and hopes that you all have a good ending."

Currently, the number of spirit beasts has surged, and the core area can no longer accommodate them, so they are destined to expand outwards, and the area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest will also expand accordingly. At the same time, the human camp has regrouped, and the major federal legions are in place, quietly approaching Shrek City. Their goal is clear, all obstacles have been cleared, and after clearing away all obstacles, the spirit beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest will have no way to escape.

The latest novel is first published here!

Even Di Tian, ​​who is equipped with a four-word battle armor, has a very high probability of perishing. The Federation's true legion is equipped with soul-guided weapons that are outrageous. Once the defense line is built, even if the abyssal creatures are fearless, they will still be stopped in the endless mountains.

"Please rest assured, Sect Master, the Soul Beast Clan has decided to no longer compromise. We will fight with all our might and once again ignite the war of cause and effect, summoning our Lord to descend."

"Ha! Humans also know that we cannot kill too many of you soul beasts. Exterminating you is equivalent to exterminating the future of soul masters. Now, magic corpses are rampant, and they are natural enemies of soul masters. If there are more of you beast races, internal troubles will be added, and the war of cause and effect may not be able to start." Sui Yuan was in the Star Luo Empire at this moment, and below was a huge scene of countless magic corpses besieging the Holy Dragon Douluo Enci.

Dai Tianling transferred Enci from the capital of Xingluo by imperial decree, ordering Enci to investigate the matter of the Dharma Corpse. Little did he know that this was a trap!

Sui Yuan had already laid out the plan, waiting for the Imperial Tutor of the Star Luo Empire to jump in and resolve the situation. The Star Luo Empire would then become Sui Yuan's personal fiefdom, and he would be the one to ignite the second Great War of Cause and Effect.

"Let's delay the Federation a little longer."

After saying this, Sui Yuan disappeared into the void, focusing on dealing with the Holy Dragon Douluo.

"Yes, ma'am."

Everything unfolded like a game of chess, and at this moment, the Silver Dragon King appeared from the space, her gaze sweeping over the soul beasts present. All the soul beasts were stunned by her aura and remained speechless for a long time.

In this era of great change, soul beasts can no longer control the world's affairs. Although the Federation has been severely damaged and the top combat forces of various forces have suffered huge losses, soul beasts still cannot shake the hegemony of mankind.

The Lord of the Plane has been punished twice by the law of causality and is now missing, while the Holy Lord of the Abyss still lurk in the shadows. The path of cultivation for Soul Beasts has long been severed, and the path to godhood is also far beyond their reach, unless they sacrifice themselves like Da Ming and Er Ming, using others to become gods.
