Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 15 Chess Players and Pieces (Seeking investment and monthly votes!)

East Sea Spirit Pagoda

Gu Yue stood sadly atop the high-rise, gazing at the East China Sea through the glass.

The city of Donghai was ablaze with lights, like fireflies in the night, faint yet strong; outside the city, it was pitch black, like the chaos of the universe, visible but untouchable.

Her thoughts drifted through the night, soaring to the highest heavens, causing her to involuntarily look back on the past.

Once upon a time, she stood atop the clouds, of noble birth, a half-dragon god. After her birth, she suffered severe injuries and was forced to recuperate for hundreds of thousands of years. Now, awakened, she is struck by the passage of time and the changes that have occurred.

The beastmen perished, and the human race prospered, one race dominating all others.

When humans in the divine realm attained enlightenment, they severed the path to heaven for soul beasts, using endless heavenly lightning as a barrier to stop countless beast race prodigies.

Now, an unprecedented causal deity has been born in the future, aiming to drive the soul beasts to their doom.

Fortunately, the orcs still have a glimmer of hope.

The Golden Dragon Core appeared in the East Sea for no reason. She found this place by relying on her bloodline origin. Although there were some twists and turns in separating Na'er, the person who became a god was pressing her step by step. Now, she had no choice but to use her last trump card.

Xiong Jun has already set off, and news should arrive in less than a quarter of an hour; Tang Wulin is not as monstrous as Bai Xu, who is protected by karma. As a one-ring Soul Master, he is just an ant that Xiong Jun can crush at will.

Thinking of this, Gu Yue turned around and saw that Na'er was dejected and had lost all her luster. Losing her brother was like losing the pillar of her soul. She seemed to have no will to live. It was likely that when Tang Wulin's body was brought over, she would take one last look and then come back.

"My lord!"

A hoarse, urgent voice echoed through the room. The next moment, the disheveled King of Ten Thousand Demons emerged from the space, along with the Bear Lord, whom he was supporting and who was on the verge of death.

His dark golden fur seemed to have lost its luster and become dull. His proud dark golden claws were broken, blood was flowing from his bear paws, his arms were deformed from the heavy blows, and even his chest was dented. He was in so much pain that he fainted.

The King of Ten Thousand Demons was also dressed in rags, his usual low-key and gloomy image gone, his behavior revealing a look of panic.

Gu Yue's pupils constricted in shock at the severity of Xiong Jun's injuries, and he shouted, "What happened?"

Her first suspicion was that Bai Xu was behind it all, causing Xiong Jun to also suffer the punishment of causality. But his injuries seemed to have been dealt a heavy blow, deforming his hard body.

The Demon King stammered, "It was divine power! A deity was parasitizing that child. Xiong Jun single-handedly withstood the calamity, but was swept away by the trident and is now in critical condition."

"Divine power." Gu Yue slumped to the ground, feeling a chill run through his body and a chill run down his spine.

Di Tian and Bi Ji arrived and hurriedly treated Xiong Jun in an effort to save his life.

Na'er stood there stunned, her expression a mixture of joy and worry, unsure whether to worry about Xiong Jun or rejoice at her brother's survival.

"King of Ten Thousand Demons, explain the situation clearly!" Di Tian said in a deep voice.

The Demon King stopped talking and used his spiritual power to recreate the scene, especially the trident, which was particularly eye-catching.

"It's him. The one who became a god 20,000 years ago. The Sea God Tang San." Gu Yue murmured, her face filled with confusion. "Tang San, Tang Wulin. Both are Blue Silver Grass. And that golden dragon core that came from who knows where."

Gu Yue was so stunned it was almost frightening, as if he were in a daze, or as if he had suddenly realized something, with a sense of madness and fragmentation.

Na'er stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

These words seemed to attract Gu Yue's attention. His gaze sharpened, and he abruptly turned his head, staring intently at Na'er. "Are you truly unaware, or are you feigning ignorance? What does it mean that the Sea God's Mark and the Golden Dragon Core appear on one person at the same time?"

Na'er stared blankly, her eyes slowly widening.

Gu Yue continued, "We've both been deceived. Tang Wulin is the son of Tang San, the Sea God. After the Golden Dragon King was killed, his core was sealed within him, guarded by the Sea God's mark. Why did Tang San specifically place him from the God Realm to the mortal realm?"

Na'er's pupils contracted.

"It's for us, for the Dragon God! The divine realm has never given up its ambition for the Dragon God's throne!"

The ferocious beasts were stunned, as if they had fallen into an abyss, their pride and dignity that they had always upheld were completely shattered.

"No," Na'er instinctively wanted to refute, but she was speechless.

Tang San was once Blue Silver Grass, and so is Tang Wulin now; they even share the same surname, Tang. The Golden Dragon King died, but the Golden Dragon Core inexplicably appeared on Tang Wulin's body, along with the Sea God's Mark within him, which is even a standard symbol of the Sea God's Trident.

The truth is easily revealed when various events intertwine.

The ferocious beast's gaze focused, its brows furrowed with disappointment, a look of helplessness hidden beneath its surface.

"I'm not keeping my bet anymore," Gu Yue announced, but then gave a bitter smile, "What's the point of keeping it now?"

"Tang Wulin is protected by the Sea God's divine sense, constantly on guard against me. I can't get the Golden Dragon Core, and the Dragon God is out of reach. Bai Xu is watching me like a hawk from behind, and I have a blood feud with him. We are even more injured than before. Even if we merge now, I'm afraid we won't be able to unleash even one percent of our peak strength."

Gu Yue looked up, tears streaming down her cheeks, her fists clenched. Though unwilling, she had to admit: "The road has come to an end."

Bai Xu only gave him three days. If the soul beasts did not submit to him after three days, he would surely settle scores with them when he rose to power, showing no mercy in the extermination of their races.

However, the God of Causality is incredibly strange. Even if you try to take action before he rises to power, you will fail. He seems to be destined to become a god.

All the soul beasts' paths were blocked, forcing them into a desperate situation.

Na'er opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Silence is the main theme for the Soul Beasts tonight.

Perhaps the beastmen exhausted their fortune by giving birth to the dragon god, which led to their current miserable state.

Gu Yue, who was in complete control of the game, was not worried about betting with Na'er because she was the biggest player and she was confident that she could handle any unexpected events.

The latest novel is first published here!

But the truth is quite the opposite. From Bai Xu calling out Gu Yuena's name upon their first meeting, to Tang San leaving a mark on Tang Wulin's body, all these actions reveal that they are the ones who orchestrated the Douluo Continent.

The Silver Dragon King is also a pawn.

The helplessness of reality weighed heavily on her, a lump in her throat making it hard to breathe. All her misfortunes so far had been witnessed by the ferocious beast, ultimately culminating in a long sigh.

When a race has exhausted its trump cards and there is no hope for the future, what will be the last stand of the soul beasts?

The fish died and the net was broken?

To cling to life and live a life of ignominy?

Bai Xu was unaware of this; all he knew was that Gu Yue had come in person.

Donghai Park, seaside pier

Gu Yue stood alone here, the sea crashing rhythmically against the shore, the moon and stars were few, and all that could be seen was darkness.

Bai Xu saw the black-haired figure. She was leaning against the railing, her back view conveying a sense of despair. Inviting Bai Xu in the dead of night, she had clearly made a choice.

"You're here?" Gu Yue spoke first, her tone more relaxed and comfortable.

Bai Xu was taken aback for a moment, then echoed, "Hmm, have you thought it through?"

"Of course." Gu Yue smiled wryly, then changed the subject, asking, "Before I reveal the soul beast's decision, could you answer one question for me first?"

"Okay," Bai Xu agreed.

The atmosphere suddenly shifted, as if the soul beast's future choice depended entirely on Bai Xu's next words. The beach suddenly fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Gu Yue took a deep breath and asked, "What is your relationship with Tang San, the Sea God, and the God Realm?"

?

Bai Xu was somewhat puzzled, but then he realized that Gu Yue must have seen Tang San's mark inside Tang Wulin's body and learned that the seal of the Golden Dragon King was Tang San's doing.

He replied casually, "It doesn't matter. He goes his way, and I go mine. But the future is hard to predict."

The sound of the ocean currents crashing against the shore echoed across the sky once more.

The figures of Di Tian and other ferocious beasts appeared in an instant, making Bai Xu extremely wary.

Gu Yue announced, "From now on, the ferocious beasts will recognize you as their master. If you become a god in the future, you must not mistreat them."

"My lord," the beasts all bowed their heads.

Besides Xiong Jun, who was seriously injured, Di Tian, ​​Wan Yao Wang, Chi Wang, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and Yao Ling were all here.
