Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 21 Winning Hearts and Minds is Paramount

龙墓

The dragon god's soul transformed into a stream of energy, all surging into Gu Yue's body. Originally in human form, she seemed to be under immense pressure and had no choice but to revert to her original form.

The silver dragon, subjected to the erosion of the dragon soul, roared to the sky, and Gu Yue's own aura began to surge exponentially. The massive silver dragon, thousands of meters tall, had countless cracks on its scales, but under the infusion of the seven-colored halo, the cracks began to gradually heal, revealing a seven-colored glaze-like texture.

As the last wisp of dragon soul surged into Gu Yue's body, she roared to the sky, the thunderous dragon's cry shaking the entire small world. The terrifying pressure caused the surrounding mountain walls of Dragon Valley to collapse.

At this moment, what appeared before her eyes was the Dragon God's supreme treasure, a divine artifact, the essence of the Dragon God's power—the Dragon God Core.

Gu Yue did not retrieve it; her thousand-meter-long dragon body transformed into a young girl, dressed in a silver dress, exuding extraordinary elegance. She turned to look at Bai Xu, who was sitting cross-legged in the dragon tomb, protected by the Fruit of Myriad Karmas.

Seeing that Gu Yue had finished, Bai Xu slowly stood up. "It seems that your injuries have improved. Just like I said before, if you had come to the Dragon Tomb to heal your injuries first, and then come to cause trouble for me, the situation might have been reversed."

The ancient moon remains silent.

Bai Xu smiled slightly, and the Fruit of Myriad Deeds slowly floated into his right hand. He said, "Want to try... forcibly erasing the mark and fight for a chance of survival in my hands? After all, the power of the Dragon God can turn decay into magic, and it's not impossible for him to defeat me."

Gu Yue frowned and glanced at the Myriad Fruits of Nature that were expanding in Bai Xu's right hand. It was now the size of a bowl and plate, more realistic and textured, and the twisting was gone. Its aura was calm and collected, so she couldn't detect it at all.

Gu Yue's black hair obscured her eyes. She remained silent, took a deep breath, reached for the Dragon God Core with one hand, hesitated for half a second, then exhaled. She then slowly walked towards Bai Xu and offered up the core.

No one knows what kind of mental preparation Gu Yue needed to complete this series of actions. The noble and proud silver dragon personally handed over the Dragon God's most precious treasure to humankind.

Bai Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, letting out a sigh of relief. He accepted the Dragon God Core and asked, "Do you know who I just saw?"

"Who?" Gu Yue lowered her head, not looking directly at Bai Xu.

"Dragon God".

!!!

"That's impossible!"

Bai Xu chuckled: "Why is that impossible? He is waiting for the Dragon God's successor to arrive in the inheritance space."

Gu Yue suddenly raised her head, her purple eyes shining, her vertical pupils shrinking to slits, as if she had lost control of her emotions. She grabbed Bai Xu's shoulders with both hands and asked impatiently, "What did you and him talk about?!"

"Stop! Calm down!"

Bai Xu pushed Gu Yue away. He really didn't expect Gu Yue to have such a big reaction. Her shoulders were a little sore from being squeezed by the dragon claw. After all, she was only a Great Soul Master and her small body couldn't withstand it.

Gu Yue staggered back two steps, his heart filled with urgency, and asked, "Did you really see the Dragon God? Where is he? What did he say?"

Bai Xu explained, "Cause and effect are mysterious and unpredictable, so it's naturally possible. I just chatted with him about the topic of the successor to the Dragon God's position. He was a very kind old man, and he actually chatted with me. Perhaps he's been alone for too long and is feeling a bit bored."

"Godhood Inheritor." Gu Yue was lost in thought, all of Bai Xu's other words were ignored, leaving only these five words: Godhood Inheritor.

Then, Gu Yue heard words she would never forget in her life.

Bai Xu's lips moved, each word spoken with a wicked smile, clearly not something pleasant.

When the words came out, Gu Yue felt as if he had been struck by lightning, standing there motionless, unable to recover for a long time.

"The Dragon God says you are not suitable to inherit the Dragon God's position."

....

....

"No way, no way! You're lying to me! You're absolutely lying to me!" Gu Yue was almost hysterical. "Who in this world is more suitable than me to inherit the Dragon God's position?"

Just then, Bai Xu said again: "The Golden Dragon King is dead, and his origin is now sealed in Tang Wulin's body; you have been imprinted with my spirit and have served me as your master for a hundred years, all of which the Dragon Gods have seen. But he did not help you, instead he waited for the golden and silver bloodlines to be passed down."

He said that over the long course of time, the golden and silver bloodlines would not be lost, and that there would always be descendants who would meet the conditions for the succession to the divine position, allowing the Dragon God to reappear in the world. And this person would not be you, the Silver Dragon King, nor the deceased Golden Dragon King.

Gu Yue suddenly felt as if all her strength had been drained. Although her injuries had healed considerably, she felt an unbearable pain in her heart, which made her bend over and feel like gagging.

What is the Dragon God to her and the Golden Dragon King?

It was an indescribable relationship. If the three of them were to meet, perhaps Gu Yuena and the Golden Dragon King would have to call the Dragon God "Father".

She wanted to convince herself that Bai Xu was lying, that he was definitely a liar who wanted to destroy the Silver Dragon's world; his psychological tactics were the most vicious.

But Bai Xu appeared completely at ease, while her own spiritual sea rippled slightly, as if some inexplicable causal reaction was emanating from the depths of her soul, making her sixth sense jolt, and she felt that what Bai Xu said was very likely to be the truth.

Bai Xu leaned closer, a wicked smile still lingering on his lips, and whispered in Gu Yue's ear, "Assist me well during this time. After the great karmic event of the future occurs, I can personally use the Fruit of Myriad Karmas to let you meet the Dragon God and confront him face to face, to see if what I said is true."

He slowly stood up and brought the Dragon God Core into Gu Yue's sight.

The next moment, Gu Yue's jade hand transformed into a dragon claw, grabbing Bai Xu's collar with a sudden force, causing him to turn around as he tried to distance himself. Gu Yue's purple vertical pupils widened, her dragon eyes staring straight at Bai Xu, her eyes gleaming coldly, and she said, "It's a deal. If you dare to lie to me, I'll fight you to the death. Even if I end up with my soul and spirit annihilated and never to be reincarnated, I won't let you get away with it."

"Ah—of course, this is for you."

Gu Yue received the Dragon God Core, speechless in astonishment.

The latest novel is first published here!

Bai Xu walked to the side and meditated cross-legged again, accelerating the growth of the Myriad Fruits. Two days was enough time for him to make many preparations.

The Dragon God is the obsession of all beast races, especially gold and silver. Bai Xu used the Dragon God as a lure, forcing Gu Yue to personally take action and even bring out the best things that had been hidden for a long time.

such as:

Two days later

Bai Xu and Gu Yue appeared on time. Gu Yue's eyes were sharp and fierce. She led Bai Xu out of the Dragon Tomb and said, "Return to Xingdou. I'm giving you the last immortal herb that the Lake of Life nurtured before it dried up. It should be able to help you reach level 30 quickly."

???

"So you were hiding a lot of secrets before, huh?" Bai Xu was slightly speechless.

While it's normal to hold back, the matter involves the Dragon God, so Gu Yue couldn't sit still any longer and started to reveal his true intentions.

In reality, it was all destined to be in vain.

Since the collapse of the Divine Dragon Realm, the Dragon God has been overwhelmed by endless guilt and regret, and no longer wants to care about anything. He only wants to leave the inheritance space to hand over his divine position to a destined person, and then reincarnate to be free.

The soul beasts believe that the Dragon God was killed by the God Realm and are trying every means to take revenge. Now, the soul beasts are facing extinction and desperately need power.

At this point, the two sides were not on the same wavelength at all. Even if they met, it would be like trying to fill a basket with water—a complete waste of time.

Everyone has different experiences and opinions, and no one can convince anyone else.

In the end, it is the outsiders who benefit.
