Chapter 227 You Must Make a Choice
The live feeds from all the key locations were interwoven into a web in mid-air above the warehouse, with several shots even capturing the scene of Di Tian reprimanding the Demon King.

"An ecological monitoring system that was just airdropped and deployed three days ago."

Chen Zhou stood up and walked towards the light screen. "By the way, these devices are all equipped with guidance arrays for level nine fixed-position soul-guided shells. Once activated, the thirteen hidden launch bases in the East China Sea will be activated, and the fixed-position soul-guided shells will continuously and accurately fire until all the soul-guided shells at the launch bases are used up."

He casually tapped on a screen, and the image of the Emerald Swan, Brigitte, instantly magnified tenfold, but Brigitte remained completely unaware. "How many of these buttons do you think this senior Brigitte could withstand at once?"

The entire warehouse suddenly trembled violently, and Gu Yue, amidst the eruption of dragon power, transformed into a silver meteor and hurtled towards Chen Zhou. The seven-colored elemental tide condensed behind her into a giant dragon throne, but Hai Wuliang's azure hand, arriving later, had already gripped her throat.

Even more terrifying, the buttons that projected the images simultaneously lit up with blood-red warning lights.

"calm."

Chen Zhou brushed off the corner of his clothes that had been lifted by the elemental turbulence. "If I wanted to exterminate soul beasts, I should be drinking victory wine right now."

He flicked his hand to disperse all the images. "The real function of these monitors is environmental control—for example, to increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the Lake of Life by three times."

As if to confirm this statement, the Blue Silver Grass in a certain scene suddenly blossomed and bore fruit at a speed visible to the naked eye. Gu Yue could feel the tidal rhythm emanating from Hai Wuliang's palm, which was clearly a special soul power that imitated the energy fluctuations of the Lake of Life.

"you"

Gu Yue's dragon scales gradually disappeared, but his vertical pupils remained fixed on Chen Zhou. "What exactly do you want?"

The young alchemist suddenly flashed a typical amused smile: "Your Excellency Silver Dragon King, you wouldn't want soul beasts to become extinct in this world, would you?"

Gu Yue's feelings were complex, a mixture of surprise, anger, and curiosity. The aura emanating from Chen Zhou made her feel deeply oppressed; his words kept echoing in her mind, like a sharp knife cutting through her confusion and fear about the future.

"You're right, the future of soul beasts is uncertain."

Gu Yue tried to keep her voice calm; she knew that in this situation, the more her emotions fluctuated, the more likely she was to lose the initiative. "But what exactly do you want? This scene... are you threatening me?"

“Threat? No,”

Chen Zhou shook his head slightly, a playful smile playing on his lips. "I just want you to understand one thing: in this era and in the next, humanity will continue to progress and become stronger, while soul beasts whose role is limited to the past will only become dust to be eliminated by history."

"When Soul Masters no longer need Soul Beasts, when humanity no longer relies on Soul Power."

"Do you think humans would tolerate soul beasts living on their planet?"

force!

Blatant coercion!

Gu Yue knew very well that this was Chen Zhou's open scheme. He didn't need to make any threats; he only needed to present the future to her.

She never had a choice.

Before being corrupted by Shrek Academy, the "Academy of Love," and the "Love Competition Continent," no matter how foolish this Silver Dragon King was, staying in the East Sea region, which was full of wisdom, he more or less rediscovered his original intentions!

At this moment, Gu Yue still puts the future of the soul beasts first in her heart.

"How can a soul beast survive?"

The proud Silver Dragon King finally lowered her head.

No matter how unwilling she was, no matter how much she struggled, she understood that the current situation left her with no way out.

Chen Zhou smiled slightly, seemingly having anticipated Gu Yue's reaction. He slowly stood up, walked towards Gu Yue, his gaze deep and resolute. "What are you willing to do for the future of soul beasts?"

"doing what?"

Although Gu Yue's voice was firm, it still trembled slightly. As Chen Zhou drew closer, Gu Yue's unease grew stronger; she knew she had entered a complex and dangerous situation. The unknown return of the God Realm, the future of the Soul Beasts, and the relationship between humans and Soul Beasts all converged into an invisible pressure at this moment.

You must make a choice.

Chen Zhou's voice was deep and penetrating, as if forcing her to think deeply about the future.

A tremendous pressure surged into Gu Yue's heart. Looking at Chen Zhou, who was so close, the noble Silver Dragon King bit her lower lip, closed her eyes slightly, and looked like a girl about to be destroyed.

"boom!"

"Ouch!"

Gu Yue, who was squatting down with her head in her hands, looked up at Chen Zhou in confusion, seemingly not understanding his behavior at all.

"What are you thinking? Are all your brains filled with that kind of pornographic garbage?"

"If I were one of you ferocious beasts, I would cooperate with our Beast Merchant Guild in conducting experiments."

Chen Zhou looked down at Gu Yue with annoyance, observing her astonished expression.

"You mean cooperation?"

Gu Yue rubbed his head, not understanding why it hurt so much.

"No! It's surrender!"

Chen Zhou's crimson-gold eyes shone with a majestic majesty, like a supreme king looking down upon the earth, making Gu Yue feel a sense of suffocation.

"I can't believe you just because of one sentence you gave me."

Gu Yue gritted her teeth, her gaze resolute. "I cannot entrust the future of soul beasts to a vague and unrealistic promise."

Chen Zhou was not surprised by Gu Yue's answer. He slowly took a few steps back, sat back on the sofa, and said with interest, "Then you can leave."

Gu Yue was filled with complex emotions, and she felt like leaving.

But looking at Chen Zhou's smiling face, Gu Yue could only see four words on that damned face: "You have no choice."

"I need your guarantee that soul beasts will be able to survive in the future."

Gu Yue slumped weakly onto the sofa behind her, her eyes wearily staring at the ceiling. Endless struggle and resentment mingled in her heart. She compromised and said, "I want to make sure that the soul beasts are not wiped out, and that they don't lose their space to live because of human greed."

Chen Zhou's eyes flickered slightly, seemingly surprised by Gu Yue's change. He nodded gently, his gaze piercing through the dark warehouse and landing on Gu Yue's face. "Of course, as long as the Soul Beast Clan obeys, I won't let anyone else lay a finger on my things."

Ah.
Gu Yue secretly mocked herself. Her ambitions, her desires, and her perseverance all seemed so insignificant in the face of Chen Zhou. Ironically, she had thought she could fight for a better future on her own, but in the end, she still chose to compromise.

"I promise you."

Her voice was weak, but firm. Although she was unwilling, Gu Yue knew that this was a choice she had to make.

"Very good." Chen Zhou's lips curled into a satisfied smile. "It's getting late, so I won't keep Gu Yue here any longer."

"Come find me at the headquarters of the Beast Merchant Guild tomorrow."

"Would you like me to give you a ride?"

Gu Yue snorted coldly, stood up on her own, turned and left. With heavy footsteps, Gu Yue walked out of the dark warehouse, her mind echoing with her conversation with Chen Zhou.
