Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 244 The Thoughts of the Goddess of Life

"Then why?" Gu Yuena couldn't quite understand the Goddess of Life's thoughts.

"In that case, shouldn't you, as one of the five great god-kings of the divine realm, reveal my identity to the other gods?"

“After all, nipping a threat in the bud seems to be what the gods of the divine realm should be doing,” Gu Yuena asked softly.

These ancient god-kings were all formidable figures, and even she found it difficult to discern their true intentions.

"Silver Dragon King, you are wrong." The Goddess of Life's expression remained as gentle as water.

"I have no intention of revealing your identity, nor do I intend to help you revive the Soul Beast race. These two things are not contradictory."

"This world is never black and white, but rather a delicate shade of gray."

The goddess of life slowly crouched down and gently stroked a seedling that had just broken through the soil.

The seedlings in her hands began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then blossomed and bore fruit.

This astonishing miracle of life is nothing more than a casual act for the goddess of life.

"In fact, the Dragon God was not completely killed by us five God Kings."

“I have never had any objections to Him.”

"But you still cut off the path for soul beasts to become gods." Gu Yuena sneered, believing that the Goddess of Life was merely putting on an act.

The goddess of life sighed softly, "This is not what I wished for either."

"But you know very well that after the battle with the Dragon God, the gods no longer have any goodwill towards the Soul Beast race."

"Most of them already consider the soul beast race a threat, so naturally they won't allow them to grow to the point of threatening them."

“Severing the path to godhood is already the best way.”

The Goddess of Life loves all life in the world, whether it be gods, mortals, or spirit beasts.

However, she was well aware that the conflict between gods and soul beasts could no longer be ignored.

The two cannot coexist until a perfect solution is found.

Therefore, she did not protest the proposal of the Divine Realm Committee and allowed them to issue the order to sever the path for the Soul Beast race to become gods.

Soul beasts that cannot become gods will not pose a threat to the gods of the divine realm.

Only in this way can the gods feel at ease after that great battle.

Otherwise, they would have used all their strength to wipe out all the soul beasts.

If that were to happen, the soul beast race would truly have no chance of survival.

Without the Dragon God and the various God Kings, the Soul Beast race was powerless against the gods and was nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.

Gu Yuena remained silent.

She knew that what the goddess of life said was true.

But should we expect her to be grateful?
This is also impossible.

Perhaps the gods did give the Soul Beast race a chance to survive, but it is also true that they suppressed the Soul Beast race and cut off their hopes.

As the goddess of life said, the world is never black and white, and there is no absolute right or wrong.

The so-called right and wrong are merely different results derived from different perspectives.

"So, according to you, killing me now would be a better option."

"We both know that if I ever regain my strength, even knowing the vast difference in power, I will definitely lead your soul beast race back to the God Realm."

"This is the only hope. The Soul Master system and the newly emerging Soul Tool system are already eroding the last living space of Soul Beasts."

"I can lead you to dominate this continent with your soul beasts, but the gods of the divine realm will inevitably ignore it."

Gu Yuena stared intently at the Goddess of Life before her. The conflict between the Soul Beast race and the gods was undeniable, and given the prevailing circumstances, even knowing it was a futile effort, they had no choice but to fight with all their might.

Only by extinguishing the only hope of his own soul beast clan can that situation be avoided.

In the end, only the Soul Beast race was squeezed out of its last living space by Soul Masters and completely disappeared from history.

This way, at least the destruction of the soul beast race will occur, without affecting the gods.

The Goddess of Life nodded slightly: "Indeed, if it were in the past, I would have made this decision."

The goddess of life loves all life, but that doesn’t mean she will hesitate.

If Gu Yuena is allowed to recover and eventually leads the Soul Beast race back to the God Realm, the Soul Beast race will still be completely wiped out, and it will also cause casualties among the gods.

Between the two scenarios, the former seems to be the more advantageous one.

"Before?" Gu Yuena keenly grasped the key point in the Goddess of Life's words.

"So what has made you change your mind now?"

Gu Yuena pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion.

"Ling Shuang?"

“That’s right.” The Goddess of Life nodded, confirming her guess.

"It is this child."

"The conflict between the gods and the soul beast race seems irreconcilable, but that is not actually the case."

"As long as a force powerful enough that no one can overcome appears, this conflict will be forcibly resolved!"

“And Ling Shuang is that power.”

"You trust him far too much." Hearing the Goddess of Life's evaluation of Ling Shuang, Gu Yuena felt that she had been too trusting of Ling Shuang.

“No,” the goddess of life shook her head. “I don’t like to blindly believe.”

"That child's martial spirit is extremely special. It is a kind of existence that I have never seen before. I call it a miracle."

"Therefore, he was able to perfectly inherit my and the godhood of destruction."

"The simultaneous presence of the God of Life and the God of Destruction in the same person signifies far more than just two god-king positions."

"You should know this, Silver Dragon King."

Gu Yuena remained silent.

Indeed, life and destruction are mutually dependent, and for these two god-king-level positions to appear in one person at the same time is far more complex than simply 1+1=2.

If someone could simultaneously master these two supreme powers, there is indeed a great possibility that they would become an existence capable of crushing the entire divine realm!

Gu Yuena understood the Goddess of Life's trust in Ling Shuang.

"You are creating a god like no other!" Gu Yuena had never imagined that this gentle and kind god would have such a bold idea.

"I just hope someone can end this unnecessary conflict." The goddess of life simply smiled.

“I didn’t tell Xiao Zi about your situation because I know him well. He wouldn’t share my thoughts; he would only eliminate all dangers with swift and decisive action.”

“I don’t think what he did was wrong, but I don’t agree with it.”

"Silver Dragon King, I will keep your identity a secret, and may even help you conceal it to some extent. I only want to tell you one thing..."

The goddess of life's demeanor changed; her gentle aura suddenly turned cold.

"Don't have any ideas you shouldn't have. The fate of the Soul Beast race is in your hands..."
