Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 13: How to End This (Seeking Investment!)

Bai Xu spent a sleepless night, pondering deeply, and finally figured out the cause and effect. The soul beast must have known something, which is why it attacked him; it must be related to the suddenly spreading Dream of Myriad Realms.

"But if we put ourselves in their shoes, the ferocious beasts like Di Tian were nearby, yet Gu Yue paid a huge price to merge back into Na'er, becoming a flawless silver dragon again, wielding the Silver Dragon Spear, intending to devour me. But I'm just a second-ring Great Soul Master, while the soul beasts have deployed their highest combat power, and it's not even Di Tian or the other ferocious beasts, but a complete silver dragon."

"Thinking back carefully, when I reacted, Gu Yuena's movements seemed to be exerting all her strength, but she was suddenly seriously injured, coughing up blood, and even her clothes were turned into square fragments."

Bai Xu's thoughts were far-reaching, and he vaguely guessed what it was. He glanced at the remaining Myriad Fruits in his hand. If it had truly been successfully born, then it would have the ability to interfere with the past from the future.

"Thinking back to the sudden change in the celestial phenomena in Donghai City the day before yesterday, could that also be the work of a soul beast?"

Bai Xu's thoughts wandered again. "The reason the Silver Dragon King had to take action personally wasn't because Di Tian and his gang of ferocious beasts were unwilling to act, but because they couldn't kill me. Gu Yue took action personally after learning important information or for great personal gain."

"What information did they learn?" Bai Xu asked himself. "The Dream of Ten Thousand Industries? But how did they know that I was behind it all, and even target me so precisely when Tang Wulin was completely unaware, and the dream was just an illusion?"

Faced with such a powerful lineup of soul beasts, there's only one possibility for Bai Xu's survival: someone was protecting him. Otherwise, his ability to distort reality alone wouldn't have been enough to severely injure the Silver Dragon and allow him to escape from her clutches.

As for who the protector is, it goes without saying.

Bai Xu smiled and didn't make any more assumptions. "Let's see how Gu Yue handles things next, and whether the soul beasts will come to assassinate us again."

"ha!"

The next day at noon

Gu Yue and Na'er, who had been injured and unconscious, had just woken up. Waves of pain emanated from their bodies, making them tremble as they struggled to their feet.

"My lord." Upon seeing his two lords awaken, Di Tian immediately stepped forward and summoned Bi Ji to alleviate their pain.

Gu Yue's face was pale, her blood and energy were weak, and her voice was somewhat hoarse. "Di Tian, ​​did you bring me back?"

"Yes, that person was too mysterious. You were seriously injured in the blink of an eye." Di Tian recounted what he had secretly witnessed, his heart filled with bitterness. Silver Dragon's injuries had worsened, and he needed to find something to heal it, otherwise the plan would be difficult to carry out.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue was surprised and asked in confusion, "In the blink of an eye?"

"Yes, you haven't even raised your hand yet."

Gu Yue was filled with doubt and suspicion, and suddenly felt strange. An inexplicable sense of unease washed over her. She was definitely not seriously injured without even raising her hand.

"I have a feeling that reality has been partially altered, like an ordinary person experiencing a time reversal! I was affected! And that shot must have hit me!"

Na'er nodded, feeling rather troubled, "That punishment came too quickly."

Gu Yue remained in a daze, her Silver Dragon Godhood still intact, and she seemed to be able to vaguely recall some details.

Gu Yue stroked her neck, the scene from that night replaying in her mind. Bai Xu's clenched teeth were still vivid in her memory. Her pupils contracted, and her face was filled with terror: "He called out my name directly, not Gu Yue, not Na'er, but Gu Yue Na."

These words immediately sent chills down Di Tian's spine.

Just then, a staff member approached and called out from outside the door, "Miss Gu Yue, your companions from Donghai Academy are waiting for you in the Spirit Pagoda Hall."

Di Tian concealed himself and asked, "Who is it?"

"He said his name was Bai Xu, and he came to find you without having lunch. He said your teacher asked him to find you so you could go back to school."

The entire room fell silent.

Bai Xu exuded a strong sense of pressure, causing Di Tian to want to retreat.

After the man had gone some distance, Di Tian said, "My lord, let's leave quickly and avoid his sharp edge for now."

Gu Yue was also terrified, never expecting Bai Xu to come looking for her. She was momentarily flustered. Gu Yue and Na'er were not in good condition; it had been confirmed that they couldn't kill Bai Xu. Now that he had come to collect a debt, how would they repay it?

The hatred of someone's death is greater than the heavens!

After a long hesitation, a sigh came from the silent and empty room: "Di Tian, ​​bring him in."

"My lord, you are no longer at your peak. He is alone and must have come prepared. What if..." Di Tian did not dare to continue.

"There's no escaping it now; let's see how it ends."

Bai Xu stood idly in the hall. He had only come to try his luck and see if he could find Gu Yuena and leave her a message. At this moment, she must be as frightened as a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow.

"Hello, student. Miss Gu Yue has answered your question. Please follow this gentleman to see her." The staff member led Di Tian over with a standard smile and impeccable manners.

Bai Xu turned and met Di Tian's gaze. Their eyes met, and both of them scrutinized each other with complex expressions, suggesting that they both knew something about each other and had some information about each other.

"plz follow me."

Bai Xu followed behind Di Tian, ​​winding through the Spirit Pagoda and taking the elevator up dozens of floors. Throughout this time, Di Tian remained well-behaved and extremely wary of Bai Xu.

"The Lord is just ahead, and she is waiting for you."

"She's not trying to joke with me again, is she? Like she did last night," Bai Xu said sarcastically.

Di Tian remained silent, his face expressionless.

"I believe not, after all, last night's lesson should have been profound enough."

Bai Xu walked straight forward, pushed open the silver metal door, and was greeted by a wide city view and a slightly somber-looking young woman sitting in the main office seat.

The latest novel is first published here!

Snapped!

The door was tightly closed.

"Long time no see, Gu Yue. You have a pretty high position in the Spirit Pagoda. You're so young to be able to work on the upper levels of the branch tower. You're quite accomplished at such a young age."

"There are no outsiders here, so we can reveal our identities."

Bai Xu cut to the chase, pulling out a chair and sitting down, confronting Gu Yue head-on, "Then I need to ask, where is the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's face darkened: "How exactly did you know this name, and my identity?"

"That's none of your business. Now, I want to talk to you about the topic of 'the failed assassination attempt by the Lord of Soul Beasts against a Grand Soul Master.' What merit do I, a mere Grand Soul Master, have to warrant your personal assassination attempt?"

"Naturally, I knew about your future and wanted to kill you to steal your treasure," Gu Yue said without hiding anything.

"My future?"

"Um."

"Explain in detail."

"We know that you will eventually become a god, and an unprecedented god of causality. The monster called 'Myriad Karmas' is the one behind it all, isn't it?" Gu Yue said.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xu was slightly taken aback, his eyes surging with excitement. But the moment he heard about the God of Causality, everything was confirmed.

He currently lacks the ability to spread the Plague of All Trades, and hasn't even been able to create it. But the Nightmare of All Trades began from this point onward, with someone using a certain point in time as a basis to release the plague from the future into the past.

It is undoubtedly who it is.

"After you become a god, how do you plan to treat the soul beasts? How do you plan to treat this world?" Gu Yue asked.

"Needless to say, the upright and just official of Douluo Continent is standing right here. But that's not the point. The point is how the soul beast can escape from my grasp."

"If possible, we are willing to make compensation. We hope you can put aside past grievances, turn hostility into friendship, and achieve a win-win cooperation."

Bai Xu was confident. "There is no cooperation, only submission. There can only be one sun in the sky, and one ruler for the people. For tens of thousands of years, the Douluo Continent has failed to be unified. Countless emperors have followed one after another, and even today, the Federation has the ambition to annex other countries. This is also my long-cherished wish."

"Of course, that includes soul beasts too."
