Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 191 Cooperation
"Come with me."

Gu Yue took a step forward, and Di Tian appeared beside her, protecting her every step of the way.

Di Tian opened up a space, and the spatial rift faced the Lake of Life in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

The lake water shimmered with a faint silver light in the morning glow, casting her profile in shifting shadows. She turned to look back, her amethyst-like eyes fixed on Gula's dark golden pupils. A few withered leaves swirled down from the lakeside, only to be instantly pulverized by an invisible soul force upon touching the ground.

Gula was not afraid at all and followed into the space tunnel.

"As expected, you're not human."

Back in his lair, Gu Yue dropped the pretense, and silver dragon scales appeared on his skin.

Her icy voice was like icicles striking ancient iron, the last note carrying the unique tremor of the dragon race.

"Whatever you think."

Gula was frequently expelled from the human race, yet his mind remained calm and undisturbed.

Curiously observing the core area of ​​the Starry Sky, the primeval jungle environment made Celebi's martial spirit particularly excited. Freed from the steel forest, it felt like a transcendent feeling of returning to nature after being in a cage for a long time.

Those invisible chasms that had formed over the years were silently erased.

Di Tian suddenly disappeared and reappeared, his whereabouts unknown. He stood behind Gu Yue, watching Gula warily. He could sense that Gula did not possess dragon blood, indicating that it was a divine beast outside the dragon race, most likely from a star field outside the jurisdiction of the God Realm, posing a great threat to the current master.

"But you seem hostile towards me. Do we have a grudge?"

The Silver Dragon King is usually quite intelligent, but of course, it's also mainly because Gula didn't hide his hostility towards her.

He hadn't forgotten that he was forced to travel through time and space by the Silver Dragon King, and even if he was a counterpart from another time and space, he would still get kicked along the way.

"It's not a matter of hatred, so what do you want with me?"

Gula avoided the topic, saying that time travel was his last trump card, and he would not reveal it to anyone.

Gu Yue's fingers, hanging from her wide sleeves, gently caressed the silver dragon's scales; the icy touch reminded her of her current predicament.

As the ruler of all soul beasts, she shouldn't have bowed down to visitors from another world, but the monitoring devices of the Spirit Pagoda were flashing above the clouds, and only a very few areas in the core area were not being monitored.

She could clearly sense that the miniature detectors embedded in the tree canopy were transmitting the energy fluctuations and the movements of the soul beasts in this area back to the Spirit Transmission Tower's central hub in real time.

"Cooperation." As she uttered the word, Gu Yue felt a surge of shame. She was confident in dealing with the God King's schemes, but leading the Soul Beast race to rise again was something even the God King's wisdom couldn't handle.

This was a last resort. The Silver Dragon King had sealed his power and transformed into human form. To use his true power, he had to break the seal. But once the seal was broken, it would be much more difficult to seal it back in human form.

Seeing that Gula could unleash his true power at any time, Gu Yue had no choice but to temporarily set aside his pride and choose to cooperate.

"cooperate?"

Gula nodded, "What could be a point of cooperation between you and the Silver Dragon King?"
Her love-struck mind is like a dragon that can squander countless great opportunities; she's the kind of person who can lose a game even with two kings and four twos.

Perhaps love truly has the power to transcend everything, but isn't committing suicide on the eve of a decisive battle a bit too hasty?

Gula gave Gu Yue a strange look. Gu Yue felt uncomfortable under his gaze, her brows furrowing as she sensed that Gula was thinking something offensive.

She said she was not affected by emotions, but after transforming into a human, she became close to human emotions. Otherwise, why would Tang Hao guide her to transform?
If the Silver Dragon King doesn't transform into human form and maintains the aloofness of the dragon race, Tang Wulin will immediately have his bloodline drained once he appears before her, helping the Silver Dragon King replenish his bloodline.

Being stared at by Gula made Gu Yue feel uncomfortable. If anyone else had dared to stare at her like that, she would have already made a move. But she was no match for Gula at the moment.

Gula withdrew his gaze, shook his head and said, "Cooperation is fine, but I don't need you for anything. From the information I received at the Spirit Pagoda, your soul beast race is already in dire straits and has become a sitting duck for the Spirit Pagoda."

"What can you give me? Let me make it clear first, I have high standards, don't try to fool me."

Gu Yue fell silent. In her prime, she possessed the power of a God-King, but she was severely injured shortly after her birth, leaving her with nothing.

Even the accompanying divine weapon, the Silver Dragon Spear, has transformed into a martial soul and merged with the half-body Na'er. Now, apart from the Reverse Scale, the current ruler of all soul beasts can be said to have nothing of value.

But the Reverse Scale was something she kept intimately; she couldn't possibly give it to anyone else...

Nothing more...

With wolves in front and tigers behind, if Gu Yue had to choose a partner, she would definitely choose Gula, who helped her discover the Sea God's conspiracy.

Even if none of them are good people, at least Gura won't side with the human gods.

A silver scale appeared in Gu Yue's hand without her noticing. The flowing patterns on it reflected a rainbow of colors under the sunlight, yet they blended together perfectly.

The gloomy sky was filled with leaden-gray clouds. Gu Yue's long, silvery-white hair was whipped by the mountain wind, revealing the faint dragon scales on her neck. Her fingers dug into her palms beneath her sleeves.

Gu Yue flicked her fingertips, and the silver-glowing Reverse Scale sliced ​​through the air, hovering in front of Gula. Di Tian suddenly stood up, his dark golden claws carving five deep marks on the stone seat, his dragon eyes surging with shock and confusion.

"Since you've chosen to remind me, you and the Sea God are not on the same side. This is my Achilles' heel; you can contact me at any time... You can accept it for now."

The girl's voice carried the oppressive power of a dragon's roar, but the last syllable revealed a slight tremor. The silver scales radiated a faint warmth in Gula's palm, a touch unlike any other metal, which made him pause for a moment.

As a master of theory, he understood all too well the importance of the reverse scale to a dragon. It was something one would give up for a second life, something one would not easily give up unless it was one's closest relative, and a blood oath token of never betraying one's family.

Stroking the scales a couple of times, they felt smoother and more delicate than metal, and their slight temperature was as constant as body temperature.

Gu Yue's earlobes turned slightly red, but she forced herself to remain calm and pretended not to care.

“I see your sincerity. I agree to cooperate with you. As a token of my sincerity, I can answer three questions for you.”

Gula toyed with the scales, which were comparable to divine artifacts, a dangerous smile playing on his lips. He didn't care about spoilers; the Abyss was a problem for others, but as long as he cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo, he could use the power of his clones to annihilate all the Abyss demons.

As for Tang San's family, Gula narrowed his eyes. Fifteen years was enough time for him to gradually eliminate the threats, liberate Douluo Star, and complete everything before returning to the God Realm.

Gu Yue lowered his head, pondering what to ask three questions.

Logically, she should have inquired about the sea god's schemes and Gura's origins.

However, the former concerns a shrewd and calculating god-king, and she doesn't believe that Gula would know the specific plan. As for the latter, even if she knew Gula's origins, Gu Yue herself doesn't have a complete inheritance and wouldn't recognize him, so it wouldn't be of much use.
