Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 707 The Choice of the Chosen One
Halfway there, Gu Yuena suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Qiu'er. "Do you know? Right now, there aren't even twenty ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the entire Star Dou Great Forest."

"!"

Wang Qiu'er's pupils suddenly contracted, and then she lowered her head in self-reproach. How abundant the soul beast reserves of the Star Dou Great Forest were in the past!
He could even allow himself to eat light-type soul beasts that were ten thousand years old.

Now, the number of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the entire Star Dou Great Forest is less than twenty.

From these small signs, one can imagine just how weak the Starry Sky Forest has become.

After saying this, Gu Yuena left, and Qian Gu Huang Yu followed suit.

...

In a vast, ethereal mist.

"Damn it! Another auspicious beast has been born at the Soul Beast's place!" A furious voice suddenly rang out.

"Brother Hao, soul beasts are already on the verge of extinction, how could there be any auspicious beasts being born?" A gentle female voice rang out, seemingly possessing a comforting power.

Since Qian Gu Huang Yu unified Douluo Star, Tang Hao and A Yin have been able to absorb very little faith power.

The birth of an imperial auspicious beast undoubtedly occupies a considerable portion of the fortune.

The so-called fortune and the power of faith actually share commonalities. Simply put, for the rulers of a plane, their power, besides divine power, is the power of faith.

Whether it's the Chosen One or the Auspicious Beast, they are all chosen by the ruler of the plane. If the ruler of the plane does not choose the Chosen One, then the Chosen One will not be born.

In other words, the birth of the chosen ones and auspicious beasts all comes from the power of the plane's ruler.

Now, Qian Gu Huang Yu has forcibly resurrected Wang Qiu'er through the power of the Holy Grail, which means that she has added another spot for the Chosen One (Auspicious Beast) out of thin air in the Douluo Continent.

The auspicious beast's fortune could not have arisen out of thin air; it must have come from the plane itself.

Although the old plane's ruler was also forced to relinquish a portion of his fortune, or rather, his faith power, most of Tang Hao's fortune actually originated from him, as the plane's ruler.

This is why he was so furious.

...

"Are we really sure it's okay for us to leave like this?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked, looking at Gu Yue Na who was walking ahead of her.

[By scolding Wang Qiu'er and then leaving her there unattended, is this really a way to achieve proper granularity?]

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena turned her head and looked at Qian Gu Huang Yu, saying, "Leave the rest to Di Tian. In the end, among the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian has devoted the most effort to the auspicious beasts."

"Di Tian has been in charge of training the auspicious beasts all along, so let's leave the rest to him. I believe that after the lesson he learned last time, he will understand how to educate the auspicious beasts."

Qian Gu Huang Yu blinked, a hint of a smile flashing in her wine-red eyes. "Gu Yue, so what you said earlier about killing the auspicious beast and stripping her of her fortune was just to scare her?"

Gu Yuena smiled upon hearing this and said, "Of course, Di Tian truly treats the auspicious beast like his own daughter. It was one thing before, but to kill his daughter again in front of him would be too cruel for him."

Power and responsibility are reciprocal. The auspicious beast enjoys top-tier treatment in the entire Star Dou Great Forest, so it has a responsibility to safeguard the future of the soul beast race.

Based on the crimes committed by the auspicious beast, Gu Yuena actually wanted to strip it of its fortune and let it know what it meant to have love without a reason.

Gu Yuena only spared the auspicious beast out of respect for Di Tian, ​​giving her a chance to reform.

Qian Gu Huang Yu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a subtle smile. She knew that Gu Yue Na was very different from her counterpart in the other timeline.

In another timeline, Gu Yuena truly didn't treat Di Tian as a human being; she used him as a tool, using him when he was useful and slapping him away when he wasn't.

“Gu Yue,” Qian Gu Huang Yu suddenly said, “If one day we end up on opposite sides, what will you do?”

Gu Yuena fell silent, her amethyst eyes fixed on Qian Gu Huang Yu's blood-red pupils. After a long while, she slowly spoke:
"Huang'er, if that day ever comes, I will not hold back, but I will not kill you either. I will defeat you and then lock you in a prison that only I know about."

Towards the end, Gu Yuena's tone even carried a hint of eagerness.

Qian Gu Huang Yu's lips twitched slightly. Although she was happy to see Gu Yue Na's change, Gu Yue Na's ideas were simply too dangerous.

"What's wrong, Huang'er? Don't you like that kind of scene?" Gu Yuena asked softly, a hint of a smile flashing in her purple eyes.

"Who would like that kind of thing!" Qian Gu Huang Yu couldn't help but say.

"Excuse me, can you two be a little more mindful of the occasion when you're flirting?" A clear, ethereal voice suddenly rang out, startling both Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na.

Qian Gu Huang Yu quickly looked to the side, only to see a phantom of light and shadow, which could only be barely discerned as a woman.

It is the master of the old plane.

Since the old plane's ruler came to the spiritual sea of ​​the ancient phoenix after she ascended the throne, the two have occasionally communicated.

The main reason was that the old plane master guided Qian Gu Huang Yu in controlling the power of faith, and occasionally the old plane master would also inquire about Qian Gu Huang Yu's plans.

After all, it's not appropriate to have the name of the Old Lord of the Plane still attached to his title. The Old Lord of the Plane is eager to get rid of the word "Old" as soon as possible.

But this was the first time he had appeared directly in front of Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na.

On the one hand, the old plane's ruler's strength has recovered considerably, and she is no longer worried about being exposed under Tang Hao and Ah Yin's noses.

On the other hand, she was also very anxious and eager to know what had happened.

"Your Majesty, what brings you here?" Qian Gu Huang Yu looked at the old master of the plane and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty" is the respectful title that Qian Gu Huang Yu uses for the ruler of the old plane.

The old master of the plane said somewhat urgently, "I want to confirm, did you just artificially create an auspicious beast?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu immediately realized that the old plane's master was referring to Wang Qiu'er, and asked, "That's true, is there a problem?"

The old master of the plane sighed helplessly and said, "Child, you must know that the fortune or the power of faith in the entire Douluo plane is actually conserved."

"In other words, while you create a mythical beast out of thin air and gain a lot of faith power, others will lose their faith power."

Hearing the zither's strings and understanding its meaning, Qian Gu Huang Yu immediately grasped the old plane's master's intention and said, "Your Majesty, has your power of faith also been divided up?"

The old plane's master nodded slightly and said, "This is also why I was in such a hurry to find you." A look of embarrassment appeared on Qian Gu Huang Yu's face. She had only wanted to treat the symptoms and save the soul beast's luck, and she never expected that it would have such a bad result.

Gu Yuena's expression changed as well. "Does this mean we have to kill the auspicious beast?"

She had already started planning how to explain this to Di Tian.

The old master of the plane shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. Although I suffered some losses, Tang Hao's losses will only be greater than mine."

"After all, he is now the true ruler of the plane."

"You mean to say that most of the fortune is concentrated in Tang Hao?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked.

The old master of the plane nodded slightly. "Simply put, auspicious beasts and chosen ones are actually quite similar; both are beings with great fortune and great opportunities."

"Only the ruler of a plane has the power to select and create auspicious beasts and chosen ones. Therefore, the birth of every auspicious beast and chosen one must be approved by the ruler of the plane."

"So, strictly speaking, you and the previous generation of auspicious beasts are both my children."

[It seems she doesn't know I summoned Wang Qiu'er directly, but thinks I created a mythical beast out of thin air. Oh well, let's just go with the flow.] Qian Gu Huang Yu pondered to herself.

"Then why would Tang Hao suffer greater losses? Is it because he is the current ruler of this plane?" Gu Yuena asked.

The old plane lord nodded and said, "That's right. You can understand the plane lord as a special kind of god."

"Although Tang Hao forcibly took away my godhood with Tang San's help, I had been the ruler of this plane for millions of years, and some of my authority was not so easily taken away."

"That is why I was able to bestow upon you the title of the Chosen One."

"But as I just said, only the Lord of the Plane can create the Chosen One and the Auspicious Beast, except for the Chosen One created by me."

"The appearance of other chosen ones and auspicious beasts requires the consumption of Tang Hao's faith power. Although under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a chosen one to appear out of thin air without his permission."

"So we actually unintentionally tricked Tang Hao again?" Qian Gu Huang Yu raised her eyebrows slightly.

The old master of the plane said, "That's true, but let's not let it happen again. Continuing like this will also consume my power, not to mention that."

"The arrival of too many chosen ones and auspicious beasts will disrupt the fortune of the entire Douluo plane. It may even cause problems with the stability of the entire plane."

Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded slightly. "In that case, let's stop here. Since the soul beast has already gained some luck, there's no need to continue taking risks."

"In that case, I won't disturb your sweet nothings any longer." The old plane's ruler nodded in satisfaction, not bothering to inquire how the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather had created the auspicious beast.

Even though Qian Gu Huang Yu was the chosen one of destiny, and in a sense her child, it's still important to keep clear accounts even between close brothers.

There are things she'll tell me if she wants to, and there's no need to force her if she doesn't.

Before leaving, the old master of the plane suddenly said, "According to my experiments, a plane can only have a maximum of two chosen ones at the same time. Once it has three or more chosen ones, then problems will arise."

"You must be careful."

After saying this, the figure of the old plane's ruler vanished before the two of them.

"Honestly, you have to play the riddle-maker and ruin the fun before you leave." Gu Yuena rolled her eyes, her curiosity already piqued by the old plane lord's words.

"Huang'er, do you know what the old master of the plane meant?" Gu Yuena asked.

After pondering for a moment, Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Given the age of the auspicious beast, she should still be alive when the previous generation of sea god Poseidon and the previous generation of angel god became gods."

"We assume that the chosen ones will inevitably become gods, which means that there were three chosen ones in that era."

"And we all know what happened next: Poseidon and the previous generation of angel gods eventually fell out and fought each other."

"However, it didn't cause any major damage that time. But what Your Majesty hopes for is that they can help each other after entering the God Realm and strive for more benefits for the Douluo Plane."

"After that, it was the time when Tang San, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue lived together. If you include the auspicious beasts, there were a total of four chosen ones at that time."

"We all know the final result: Qian Renxue, on whom His Majesty placed high hopes, was ruined, while Tang San, chosen by the previous generation of Asura God, ultimately emerged victorious."

"After that, Tang San began to plot the fate of the Douluo plane, and even Your Majesty lost the position of the plane's master."

"These are all lessons learned in blood!" Gu Yuena exclaimed.

"Wait, Huang'er, what did she mean by reminding us to be careful at the end? You are the chosen one now, even if you revive the auspicious beasts, there will only be two!" Gu Yuena suddenly realized and quickly asked.

Qian Gu Huang Yu frowned slightly and said, "If that's the case, then it must be that the old master of the plane sensed the birth of the third Chosen One."

"Since the Lord of the old plane told us about this, then he must not be the chosen one of destiny she selected."

"Besides, I have already become a god. Even if she chooses another chosen one, their achievements will not be able to surpass mine."

This is precisely the source of Qian Gu Huang Yu's current confidence. Moreover, she has been operating on Douluo Star for so long that, while she may not have monopolized all cultivation resources, she has almost done so.

Although each major sect and soul clan has its own inherited soul spirit, she had previously investigated all private soul spirits to prevent humans from secretly hunting soul beasts.

By controlling the movements of all the souls, one can essentially determine which individuals are capable of growing and deserve attention.

If necessary, Harosa can even be sent to deliver warmth directly to your door.

Now, Qian Gu Huang Yu is certain that no one can grow up without her knowledge, and she naturally has contingency plans for any potential threats.

"Tang Hao." Gu Yuena's eyes narrowed, and she immediately noticed the problem.

“Yes, that must be Tang Hao’s choice,” said Qian Gu Huang Yu.

"Do you want to kill him as soon as possible?" A dangerous glint flashed in Gu Yuena's purple eyes.

“No need,” said Qian Gu Huang Yu. “Who do you think Tang Hao is most likely to choose as the Chosen One right now?”

"Tang Wulin? The son of Tang San?" Gu Yuena immediately understood.

“That’s right, Tang Wulin is right under our noses right now, what trouble could he possibly cause?” Qian Gu Huang Yu laughed.
