Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 186 Di Tian: Dead memories are attacking me, I hate being love-struck!
Four months later.

The sounds of fierce fighting emanated from the Spirit Transmission Academy's arena, where hundreds of students and dozens of teachers gathered in the audience, creating a lively atmosphere.

They are currently conducting a special selection competition, and the top six will be allowed to undergo special training.

The specific details of the special training were not elaborated, but knowing that the academy truly had something to offer, every student was quite willing to showcase themselves in the competition.

"Where are the Guyue people?"

Ye Xinglan tried to find Gu Yue in the audience, but she couldn't find her no matter how she looked.

"I don't know," Yuan Enhui shook her head.

Wu Siduo casually said, "Liu Jing took Gu Yue to do some business, so he probably won't come to the Soul Arena."

Upon hearing the words "get things done," Ye Xinglan's eyes narrowed sharply, but she quickly relaxed.

Of the five sisters, she must have been the first to eat.

There is absolutely no other possibility besides this.

...

Quiet room.

Gu Yue looked at Nan Liujing's retreating figure with a puzzled expression and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, did you bring me here for something?"

Nan Liujing stared intently at Gu Yue.

It made people feel uneasy.

Just as Gu Yue was about to lose her temper, Nan Liujing spoke up, smiling, "How should I address you? Silver Dragon King? Or Lord of Soul Beasts? Or the lucky one who inherited the Silver Dragon King's bloodline?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yue's eyes, but he said calmly, "I don't understand what you mean, Senior Brother."

“Na’er has already confessed to me,” Nan Liujing said, surprising everyone.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's pupils contracted, and she blurted out, "Is she an idiot? How could she..."

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yue stopped, because she saw a strange smile on Nan Liujing's lips.

Gu Yue gritted her teeth and said indignantly, "Is Senior Brother trying to trick me?"

"It's not exactly a scam," Nan Liujing said, gesturing for Gu Yue to sit down.

As soon as the two sat down, Nan Liujing pushed over a cup of fragrant hot tea.

While Gu Yue was in a state of confusion, Nan Liujing spoke up at the opportune moment: "I have the bloodline aura of the Golden Dragon King on my body, which shouldn't be hidden from you, right?"

Gu Yue's gaze turned serious. She felt as if she had been stripped naked, with no secrets left in front of the other person.

"Correct."

Seeing Nan Liujing's gentle smile, Gu Yue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded calmly, her eyes seemingly regaining their usual extraordinary wisdom.

"So what do you want to do?"

"Aren't you going to call me senior brother anymore?" Nan Liujing asked in return.

Gu Yue was stunned.

Nan Liujing smiled and said, "No matter what your identity is, it doesn't change the fact that you are my only junior sister."

Gu Yue's hardened heart was instantly shattered by the words "my only junior sister," and her heart softened abruptly.

"Senior brother," Gu Yue called out, pursing her lips.

Nan Liujing smiled, and the Thor's mark appeared on his forehead.

"A divine inheritance mark?" Gu Yue asked in surprise.

Nan Liujing said gently, "Gu Yue, do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you," Gu Yue said firmly.

"Then follow me."

With a thought, the space behind Nan Liujing quietly shifted, and he flashed into it.

Gu Yue downed his tea in one gulp and quickly followed.

The Thunder Realm, which resembled a paradise, quickly attracted Gu Yue's attention.

“The divine position I will inherit is that of the Thunder God.” Nan Liujing stood atop a mountain peak, gazing at the vast Thunder Realm. “And this place is the site of the Thunder God’s inheritance. The castle over there, covered by thunderclouds, is the Thunder God’s Temple.”

Gu Yue followed his gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother knows my identity and the hatred between soul beasts and humans. Aren't you afraid I'll attack you?"

“You wouldn’t. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have given me the silver dragon scales to save my life, nor would you have given me the opportunity to enter Dragon Valley and take away the true dragon soul bone.” Nan Liujing spoke without hesitation, clearly trusting him to the extreme.

Gu Yue's eyes trembled slightly, and she said with a sigh, "That's hard to say. After all, there is still a gap between soul beasts and humans."

Nan Liujing said softly, "I brought you here because I knew there was a barrier between us."

Gu Yue looked at him: "What do you mean?"

Nan Liujing calmly said, "The Thunder Realm has a special secret, which is that it allows beast race powerhouses to pass through the Heavenly Tribulation with zero mortality."

“Zero.” Gu Yue’s pupils contracted, and some remaining memories inherited from the Dragon God quickly surfaced in his mind. He murmured to himself, “Thunder God… Thunder God, right, he was in charge of the ascension of the beast gods.”

Nan Liujing said softly, "I'm telling you all this today because I want to tell you that the hatred between humans and soul beasts will definitely end with my hand. Na'er told me a lot. I know how tired you are with the great cause of the revival of your race, and I also know that you have always been worried about the return of the God Realm. So, would you be willing to let me help you? Let's work together to create a new God Realm, where human and beast gods can coexist peacefully."

Gu Yue's lips trembled, she closed her eyes, and took a few deep breaths.

Her beautiful silver eyes held a hint of expectation: "In what capacity do you intend to help me, Senior Brother?"

Nan Liujing solemnly stated:

"How about I help you in the guise of being your current boyfriend and future partner?"

Gu Yue stared intently at him, and after a long while, she smiled sweetly: "Okay."

With a smile in his eyes, Nan Liujing reached out and instantly produced a bouquet of flowers made of countless plants.

"I'm not very good at being romantic, but you still need to have what's expected. However, you deserve better."

Gu Yue looked at the bouquet of fragrant flowers, pursed her red lips, solemnly accepted it, and leaned in to gently sniff it.

Nan Liujing looked at her, smiling without saying a word.

After a while.

Amidst a sea of ​​flowers.

The man had his hands behind his head, his legs crossed, and was gazing at the bright and sunny sky.

The girl sat on the grass, feeling the cool breeze. Her flawless, jade-like face showed a look of contentment. She hadn't had this kind of time alone with someone in a long time.

Nan Liujing's gaze swept over Gu Yue's curvaceous figure: "Yue'er, among the ferocious beasts, which one is about to break through?"

Gu Yue turned her head and looked at them: "From Di Tian to Zi Ji, they are all very close to the next tribulation, but..." She sighed and said softly, "The Star Dou Great Forest has been severely damaged, and the source of life is almost gone. The Lake of Life has also dried up completely. It is nothing short of a pipe dream to successfully pass the next tribulation. Therefore, under Di Tian's leadership, the other ferocious beasts are trying their best to slow down their cultivation growth."

Nan Liujing pondered for a moment and said, "I know a place that can help soul beasts obtain enough life energy to improve their cultivation. At the same time, with the help of the special tribulation lightning of the Thunder Realm, even if they fail to transcend the tribulation, they can still survive and have two more chances to transcend the tribulation. Can you persuade Di Tian and the others?"

Gu Yue said in a deep voice, "Senior brother, you want to win them over using this method?"

“That’s right.” Nanliujing nodded. “Di Tian and the others hate humans simply because the Spirit Pagoda has been frantically capturing soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest for ten thousand years to create soul spirits, and because of the suppression from the Sun Moon Federation. But now there are powerful enemies from the Abyss outside, and the threat of the God Realm whose whereabouts are unknown but may return at any time. I think if there is another way to avoid both the death struggle between humans and beastmen and the suppression from the God Realm, cooperating with me might be the best way out.”

Gu Yue said solemnly, "I can force them to obey you."

“That’s not appropriate,” Nan Liujing shook his head. “Suppressing them relentlessly will only backfire. Instead, offering substantial help and letting Di Tian and the others see it is a better solution.”

Gu Yue's eyes flickered: "Alright. Senior brother, find a time, and I'll inform Di Tian and the others to meet with you."

"Thank you for your help." With the plan to unite with the ferocious beasts progressing steadily, Nan Liujing could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“By the way, senior brother.” Gu Yue’s voice suddenly became uncertain, “I wasn’t the first girlfriend you confessed to, was I?” Nan Liujing’s body stiffened for a moment, a gesture that was both subtle and profound.

A pang of jealousy rose in Gu Yue's heart, but she still calmly asked, "Is it Xinglan or Siduo?"

Nan Liujing coughed twice: "First it was Siduo, then Xinglan."

Gu Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, quite surprised, and said, "You really acted quickly."

"It's getting late, let's leave the Thunder Realm first," Nan Liujing tried to change the subject.

Just as he was about to get up, Gu Yue suddenly stepped forward and pressed him back onto the grass.

The delicate fragrance emanating from the girl was like a bewitching hand, gently stirring the restless heart of the young man.

Looking at Gu Yue's flawless and serene face, Nan Liujing realized something and closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.

"Come on, I will never run away."

He spoke with great passion and fervor.

"It's a beautiful thought."

The imagined passionate kiss never came; all that remained was the emptiness of the girl's gentle, jade-like body fading into the distance, and a gentle, teasing laugh.

Nan Liujing opened his eyes, and Gu Yue had already stood up again.

The sunlight cast a molten gold-like silhouette along the edge of her tall, slender figure, bright and deep. Her fair and delicate arms were behind her back as she gazed at the distant scenery with her back to him.

Nan Liujing wasn't annoyed and continued to lie down and admire Gu Yue's graceful figure.

It was worth it for him to intentionally or unintentionally hint at his views on soul beasts; otherwise, if things were like they were in the original timeline, Gu Yue might have found it difficult to make the decision to be with him.

……

Outside Shrek City.

A remote and deserted place.

Several figures arrived in the dark.

"Six level 9 fixed-position soul-guided shells, twelve level 8 shells, and twenty-four level 7 shells—that's the limit of what we can produce."

The middle-aged man, whose body was shrouded in dim light, spoke with his back to the group of people who had come.

The Ghost Emperor glanced at the pile of terrifying weapons casually placed on the ground and chuckled sinisterly, "Very good. Now the weapons to send Shrek Academy to the heavens are all in place."

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "I'll say it again: a god-slaying shell is unlikely to kill Yun Ming. If he doesn't die, it will be a huge disaster for both of us."

The Ghost Emperor said calmly, "Yun Ming confronted me once many years ago. As a fellow quasi-god, his aura made me feel apprehensive. This shows that his cultivation has surpassed that of a quasi-god, probably at the level of a half-step god."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's pupils contracted: "Really?"

The Ghost Emperor sneered, "It was precisely because I knew his cultivation level that I specifically sought out the sect leader to obtain some good things that would be enough to kill him. Half-step godhood sounds nice, but he is ultimately not a true god, and he still has to die."

The middle-aged man's slightly smaller eyes gleamed with an unusual light: "I have arranged a group of assassins who will be responsible for controlling the array-sensing soul tools. That will be the best time for you to make your move. However, this group can only access the array-sensing soul tools on the outskirts of Shrek City. I cannot intervene if the area is too close to Shrek Academy. In other words, once you enter a certain range with the cannonballs, you will be exposed."

"It's alright." The Ghost Emperor smiled mysteriously. "I've already made the arrangements."

...

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Nan Liujing."

In the brightly lit tea room, Nan Liujing sat alone on one side, while opposite him stood several figures, both men and women, all exuding an exceptionally powerful aura.

Biji, Wan Yao Wang, Xiong Jun, Chi Wang, Zi Ji, Yao Ling.

At that moment, the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest stared intently at Nan Liujing, with Xiong Jun's eyes gleaming with a fierce light, as he had the least liking for humans.

The main reason was that when humans were massacring the Star Dou Great Forest, they targeted the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan relentlessly.

All for that dark gold dinosaur claw soul bone.

With a robust build and a strand of golden hair falling from his black hair, Di Tianxia subconsciously glanced at Gu Yue, who was pouring tea for Nan Liujing.

His eyes darkened, and he sighed inwardly.

Damn it, the same thing happened again with the auspicious beast from back then.

Are all the women of our Soul Beast clan love-obsessed?

"Speak up, are you mute?" Gu Yue immediately snapped when he saw the ferocious beasts remain silent.

"My name is……"

The ferocious beasts introduced themselves with twitching lips, afraid of angering Gu Yue if they were late.

Di Tian's vision went black.

The Lord's love-struck mind is even more difficult to deal with than that of a mythical beast!

Nan Liujing chuckled inwardly, but said calmly, "Senior Beast God must be aware of the effects of the Thunder Realm."

Di Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Yes."

Nan Liujing looked directly at him and said, "I suppose Gu Yue has already told you about the three paths you can take. So, what is your choice?"

Upon hearing this, the ferocious beasts looked at each other, and finally all of them looked at Di Tian.

In a sense, they respected Emperor Tian more than the Silver Dragon King. Of course, Xiong Jun was an exception.

Di Tian pondered for a moment and said, "I need to see your sincerity."

Gu Yue raised an eyebrow.

Di Tiankui remained fearless. He was already being quite lenient by refraining from attacking a human, especially since this human was repeating the shameful deeds of the Soul Beast race.

Nan Liujing immediately said, "I'm going to the sea right away. There is life energy there that can help your bloodline evolve. With the support of the Thunder Realm's tribulation, I think you will each have no problem completing your next tribulation breakthrough."

"Help us evolve our bloodline?"

The Demon King's eerie pupils showed a look of astonishment.

The other ferocious beasts were also startled.

As is well known, the strength of a soul beast's bloodline almost determines the maximum a soul beast can grow to, and it is difficult to surpass that level unless there is a fortuitous encounter.

A prime example is the Demon King. If he hadn't devoured a celestial herb, he could have grown to a maximum cultivation level of tens of thousands of years.

Gu Yue said quietly, "After the bloodline strength is increased, the difficulty of transcending the tribulation will be reduced by at least half. Including you, Di Tian, ​​you can basically pass the tribulation with certainty."

Ripples appeared in Di Tian's golden eyes.

Without using the Dragon God Claw, he couldn't even defeat Yun Ming; human battle armor was simply too powerful. But if he could truly break through to a cultivation level of nine hundred thousand years, he could probably exchange blows with even a high-ranking priest several times without being at a disadvantage.

"It's not that simple to increase the strength of my Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King bloodline," Di Tian said hesitantly.

"Why don't you try and see?" Nan Liujing might question the Goddess of Life's intellect, but he would never question her abilities.

Gu Yue decisively said, "Time waits for no one, let's set off now."

"Please," Nan Liujing said politely.

"Please." Di Tian's eyes flickered, and he ultimately chose to act according to the situation.

soon.

After informing Leng Yaozhu of his upcoming trip and receiving permission, Nan Liujing immediately boarded the Black Demon Soul Guidance Helicopter and departed for the Devil's Islands.

It's a pity I can't bring Wu Siduo along.

I can only help her complete the divine test next time.
