Douluo: I founded the mecha tribe and I am the king of mecha battles!

Chapter 228 This is not cooperation, but submission.

The promise she had just made felt like layers of boulders pressing down on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. Although her heart was in turmoil, she knew she had no other choice.

The night was deep, the starlight was faint, and a thick shadow hung over Donghai City.

Gu Yue remained vigilant, secretly pondering her next plan.

Having chosen this path, she couldn't remain indifferent. Under Chen Zhou's command, status was absolutely important. If she wanted her soul beasts to live well, she had to have a high position in Chen Zhou's heart.

but
How can we increase the importance of soul beasts in Chen Zhou's heart?
"I never knew such a thing existed in this world. I was so ignorant."

The black-robed man who had brought Gu Yue here slowly emerged from the shadows, and he couldn't help but marvel at what he had witnessed.

The man removed the hood from his head, revealing long black hair cascading down his back. His beautiful face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, making his handsome features appear somewhat ghostly.

As a man, Chen Zhou rarely uses the word "handsome" to describe another man.

Handsome and refined.

So what is your decision?

Chen Zhou fixed his gaze on him, as if there had been a prior agreement, his indifferent tone tinged with a hint of amusement, "Submit, or continue to believe in the so-called immortal true god's promise of the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Harosa shook his head, his eyes revealing an unusual eagerness. He knelt down on one knee before Chen Zhou and said earnestly, "As long as Young Master can grant me eternal power, Harosa is willing to become Young Master's vanguard and serve him faithfully!"

Not long before, the Holy Spirit Cult was no longer satisfied with the new soul tools that the Beast Machine Merchant Guild had put out in the open. They were eager to obtain the core technology hidden within the Beast Machine Merchant Guild.

However, due to the new partner of Qian Gu Dong Feng, the Holy Spirit Church once again found itself stretched thin in terms of intelligence sources. Therefore, it could only send one of the two emperors, the Underworld Emperor Harosa, to gather intelligence and act according to circumstances.

However, before Harosa could investigate or make a move, the bored Hai Wuliang spotted him, dragged him to the sea, beat him up, and then, after consolidating his soul power, threw him to Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou thought Harosa was a promising talent, so he made an agreement with him: after telling him the truth about this world, he could choose to stay or continue to the Holy Spirit Cult.

I will consider your proposal.

Chen Zhou smiled slightly, his tone relaxed and casual, "But you must understand that being loyal to someone is not just an empty phrase; the price to be paid behind it is not light."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Harosa's eyes, but he remained humble, bowing his head: "I understand, young master. I am willing to prove my worth with loyalty."

This is why Chen Zhou left Harosa behind. His positioning of Douluo Star and the Douluo Plane has always been simple: it is a logistics base for interdimensional travel. As a representative of the soul beast race, Silver Dragon King Gu Yue does not need to do too much. The existence of the soul beast race itself is a warning and a sense of crisis to the humans who will submit to Chen Zhou in the future.

Chen Zhou could not allow the Beastmen to spend too much energy managing this world in the future. The Beastmen's role would always be that of his warriors charging into battle, accompanying him in researching the "truths" of different worlds and fields.

Therefore, he needs a subordinate who can lead humanity, a lone minister!
Harosa is not that kind of person.

He has no ties; he is an extremely pure seeker of the Dao, a seeker of immortality!
As for the mistakes that Hades, Harossa, once made?

What does this have to do with Chenzhou?

The following day, at the headquarters of the Beast Machine Merchant Guild.

With her black hair and purple eyes, Gu Yue once again stepped onto this power that had already conquered the world.

However, unlike last time when she was led by her own master, Leng Yaozhu, this time she came at the invitation of others.

As for her master
After learning that Yun Ming was injured, she rushed to Shrek Academy to visit her, and on the way, she smashed up the office of Qian Gu Dong Feng, who had been trying to keep the news from her.
All I can say is that it sends chills down my spine.

Gu Yue felt that perhaps if she hadn't come to the Beast Merchant Guild, things might have turned out the same way. Thinking about it, Gu Yue couldn't help but shiver, shook her head to clear her mind of these chaotic thoughts, took a deep breath, and walked straight into the headquarters of the Beast Merchant Guild.

This time, Gu Yue's destination was not the top-level president's office, but an office exclusively for Chen Zhou.

Although he is the young master of the Beast Chamber of Commerce, Chen Zhou still has work to do on the surface, so he also holds the position of Minister of Scientific Research and Development.

Gu Yue had a remarkably clear understanding of both the organizational structure of the Beast Chamber of Commerce and the division of its internal functions. Deep down, she felt both a subtle unease and anticipation for the upcoming collaboration.

Walking down a spacious, bright corridor, Gu Yue recalled her conversation with Chen Zhou from the previous night and felt that oppressive feeling again. She knew that she could no longer be as proud and independent as before. She had to demonstrate her value to this young master, let him see the future of the Soul Beast race, and her potential as the Silver Dragon King.

"Lord Gu Yue, please come this way."

As Gu Yue's assistant, Ouyang Zixin took the initiative to guide her after seeing her. Gu Yue nodded slightly, but was secretly thinking to herself.

The office door was wide open, revealing a minimalist yet technologically advanced interior. Several seemingly ordinary glass panels sat on the desk, which were actually control interfaces for a new type of soul tool. Countless points of light moved within them, displaying various data and information streams. Chen Zhou sat in a large office chair, his gaze focused, seemingly deep in thought.

"Gu Yue, you've arrived."

Chen Zhou looked up at her, a faint smile playing on his lips, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Chen Zhou, I've come to discuss our cooperation further with you,"

Gu Yue tried her best to make her voice sound firm, but the unease in her heart still surged like waves.

"cooperate?"

Chen Zhou frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with Gu Yue's wording. A chilling aura emanated from his eyes as he slowly stood up, his gaze sharp as a knife as he pierced Gu Yue.

"Gu Yue, I think you've misunderstood something."

His voice was deep and cold, carrying an undeniable authority: "This is not cooperation, but submission. You, and the entire Soul Beast race, will become part of my command. You have no choice but to obey."

"I won't remind you a third time! Get into your proper place!"

"Understand?"

Gu Yue's heart sank suddenly. She felt an invisible pressure emanating from Chen Zhou, as if a mountain was pressing down on her shoulders. She tried to remain calm, but the unease in her heart surged like a tide.

What makes you think I would submit to you?

Gu Yue's voice carried a hint of stubbornness. Although she knew that her resistance was so powerless in front of Chen Zhou, she was still unwilling to give in easily.
