Chapter 254 Dragon Valley
The lights on the ceiling illuminated the room, casting shifting shadows on her delicate face.

"You mean give up on reviving the Soul Beast race?"

Gu Yue's voice was slightly hoarse as her fingertips unconsciously caressed the silver dragon scales.

"Quite the opposite."

Chen Zhou released her shoulder and walked to the holographic projection. He tapped his finger, and the star map rapidly enlarged. "I want you to see a broader road ahead."

In the projection, Douluo Star gradually decomposed, revealing the flow of energy at the molecular level. Chen Zhou traced the outline of a mountain range with his fingertip: "Do you know why 100,000-year-old soul beasts must transform back into human form, otherwise they simply cannot withstand the heavenly tribulation descending from that plane?"

Gu Yue frowned: "A punishment bestowed by the gods."

"wrong."

Chen Zhou interrupted her, "It is the very foundation of this world, the very foundation of soul beasts, whose rules were lowered by an originally supreme being."

"And as far as I know, only the Dragon God could achieve this."

Gu Yue stared at Chen Zhou in disbelief. "How is this possible?"

Yes!

How can this be.

Before the results of the simulation came out, Chen Zhou was also somewhat skeptical.

This world is too chaotic. Not only is the direction of human development distorted and deformed, but the direction of the world's development is also controlled by a deformed divine realm.

Even the Dragon God who created the divine realm and many planes is now completely out of control.

Under the Star Deduction Array, the rule that soul beasts must undergo heavenly tribulations to become gods is true. It has been so for countless years. However, since the extinction of soul beasts in the God Realm, that is, the soul beast catastrophe, the power of the heavenly tribulations has increased many times over.

This is why countless soul beasts, some tens of thousands of years old, always perish tragically under the heavenly tribulation.

This is a curse-like rule descended by the Dragon God, the ancestor of all soul beasts.

Chen Zhou has little to say about this; it's too outrageous.

Either wipe out the race you created, or lend a helping hand before you die.
They created various restrictions, turning their race into prey for other races, thus ensuring their race always held the hope of becoming gods. After enduring torment and agonizing cultivation, they were met with certain death.
Isn't this outrageous?!
Suddenly, the metal floor lit up with eerie blue patterns, and countless data streams converged beneath their feet to form a complex three-dimensional magic circle. Gu Yue was astonished to discover that the soul power within her body resonated with this magic circle.

"This is."

"A byproduct of the Starry Sky Deduction Array."

Chen Zhou snapped his fingers, and an ancient dragon script appeared in the center of the magic array. "Interestingly, we discovered this while analyzing the laws of the Heavenly Tribulation."

Gu Yue's pupils contracted sharply. She was all too familiar with those distorted characters—the divine oracle carved by the Dragon God himself!
"Soul beasts will be forever condemned to reincarnation."

She involuntarily recited the opening lines, her voice trembling, "How could it be that all those of my bloodline are subject to divine punishment?"

Chen Zhou stared at her violently fluctuating mental sea, lost in thought: "It seems that before the Dragon God left, he placed a Dao lock on the soul beasts of this world."

The holographic image suddenly shifted, revealing the energy map of the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. The black light cluster representing the Beast God Di Tian was bound by dense golden chains, the other ends of which were deeply embedded in the void.

"do you understand?"

With a light tap of his fingertip, Chen Zhou disassembled the chain structure layer by layer. "This is not a rule of the divine realm, but a curse directly imprinted on the origin of the world. The closer you get to the level of a god, the tighter the shackles will become."

"The stronger the heavenly tribulation it triggers, the greater the tribulation."

Gu Yue staggered backward, her back slamming against the cold metal wall. Her black hair moved without wind, and her purple eyes shimmered with fragmented starlight.

As a half-body of the Dragon God, she understood better than anyone what this meant—the decline of the entire Soul Beast race was a tragedy orchestrated by the Creator himself!

"Then why?"

"Perhaps it's to atone for his sins."

Chen Zhou suddenly sneered, "After all, it was he who went mad and slaughtered the God Realm back then." The temperature in the room plummeted.

The silver scales on Gu Yue's neck were faintly visible, and some emotion beyond limits was tearing apart her understanding accumulated over thousands of years. Images from the depths of her memory surged up—the wails on the battlefield of the Dragon God, the divine blood splattering when she split, and... those last golden eyes that looked at her, filled with regret.

"Snapped!"

Chen Zhou suddenly clapped his hands, the crisp sound startling Gu Yue from her reverie.

"Don't panic." He walked to a control panel and quickly operated it. "If you can find the shackles, you must also have the keys."

The holographic image changed again, this time revealing a vast valley.

Even from the images alone, one can see countless dragon skeletons weeping in grief and indignation.

The metal walls rippled with a deep blue light as the images shifted, and fine golden patterns emerged on the dragon skeletons, originating from the same source as the chains within Di Tian's body. Gu Yue strode forward, her fingertips creating data ripples as they passed through the virtual images—she recognized this place.

"Dragon Valley."

"clever."

Chen Zhou pulled up the three-dimensional coordinates. "This folded space is hidden deep enough that it almost fooled even the soul-guided detection device I developed."

The camera zoomed in, and the dragon skeleton at the very center, comparable to a mountain, suddenly emitted a strange light. Gu Yue's mind went blank, and her Silver Dragon King bloodline began to boil uncontrollably. She staggered and grabbed the edge of the control panel, her fingernails scraping against the metal surface with a harsh sound.

Chen Zhou frowned upon seeing this and raised his hand to press down on her trembling shoulders: "Control your bloodline resonance unless you want to awaken what's inside prematurely."

"What's inside?"

Gu Yue struggled to lift his eyes and discovered that the eye sockets of each dragon skeleton in the image were flickering with ghostly fire.

Chen Zhou suddenly turned off the projector, and the laboratory returned to its cool lighting.

"Aren't you surprised?"

No matter how glorious and supreme these dragons were in life, what was their reality?

Dead for ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years, one million years, ten million years
Over countless years, the river of time can erase all remaining consciousness.

But why is this little world so uniquely blessed?

"You mean it contains the remnants of the Dragon God's power!"

Gu Yue was greatly encouraged.

"more than."

With a light tap of his fingertip, Chen Zhou caused the holographic projection to suddenly explode into countless dazzling points of light.

The particles of light reassembled in mid-air, creating a breathtaking scene—thousands of dragon skeletons surrounding a hazy, iridescent glow, or perhaps, a magnificent dragon soul, even in its incomplete state.

Gu Yue suddenly clutched her chest, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall. She felt a tremor from the depths of her bloodline, a resonance that transcended time and space. When she looked up again, her purple eyes had completely transformed into vertical pupils, and the phantom of the Dragon God's mark appeared on her forehead.

"Dragon God. Soul Fragment"

Every syllable she uttered was filled with tearing pain, as if ancient memories were forcibly breaking free of their seal. Frost began to form on the metal floor of the laboratory, and the free elemental energy in the air stirred restlessly.

Chen Zhou narrowed his eyes and suddenly grabbed her wrist. Gu Yue instinctively tried to break free, but found a strange suction force coming from his palm, drawing away the rampaging Dragon God power from her body.

"Hold your breath and concentrate."

His voice carried an undeniable authority: "Do you want to be consumed by lingering resentment?"
