Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 61 Gu Qingqiu is also autumn!

The core area of ​​the Star Forest.

In the minds of ordinary Soul Masters, this place must be a dangerous and ferocious place, but the reality is not so.

The first thing that catches the eye is a tranquil lake. The lake isn't very large; you can see the opposite shore at a glance. Overall, it seems quite similar to Seagod Lake at Shrek Academy.

The lake's surface is as smooth as a mirror, its pale green water resembling a beautiful natural jade inlaid within, shimmering with a vibrant, life-giving green light. Towering ancient trees stand around the lake, reaching towards the sky, shrouded in a light mist, the moist air filled with the unique fragrance of plants.

A figure stood silently in the center of this forbidden place.

This was a man, easily over three meters tall, with long black hair flowing down his back. His handsome and resolute face possessed an indescribable strength, especially his golden eyes, which were both noble and domineering. Just a fleeting glance at him was enough to inspire a sense of submission.

Compared to the so-called golden-eyed white lion or even the golden lion king, this is the true majesty that the eyes of a king should possess.

The middle-aged man was none other than Di Tian, ​​the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the leader of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, with a cultivation level exceeding 800,000 years.

The three-eyed golden lion lay prostrate beside Di Tian, ​​lazily grooming its golden fur with its paws, completely relaxed.

Although it didn't know Di Tian's purpose in sending it here, it didn't think too much about it because of its trust in Di Tian.

After all, from the moment the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was born, it was Di Tian who took care of it, and his care for it over the past ten thousand years has been meticulous.

Just then, a faint silver light surged from all directions, and a majestic voice rang out.

"Di Tian, ​​I know everything."

"My lord." Upon hearing this voice, Di Tian respectfully knelt on one knee.

The three-eyed golden lion was instantly awakened, stood up and carefully sensed the mysterious yet familiar aura.

This comes from a somewhat distant memory. Back when it was still in its shell, it was enveloped by this aura and felt an instinctive affinity for it.

The owner of that majestic voice said calmly, "Three-Eyed Golden Lion, your feeling is correct. It was I who created you with a trace of my bloodline power. The bloodline in your body does not come from the Golden Dragon, but belongs to the true god Golden Dragon King, which is why you can bear the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Then between you and me..." the Three-Eyed Golden Lion tentatively spoke, its tone subtly containing a hint of expectation. Within the Star Dou Great Forest, even the weakest soul beasts had parents who gave birth to them. Although it was a noble imperial beast, it had also felt envy and jealousy because of this.

It's just that it's stubborn and never wants to show it.

The voice seemed to have softened considerably.

"Just consider me a close elder to you, after all, we share the same bloodline. I'll give you a name based on my surname, from today onwards, you will be called Gu Qingqiu."

“Gu Qingqiu…” the three-eyed golden lion murmured unconsciously, its golden eyes growing even brighter, an indescribable joy welling up in its heart. Its four golden claws frolicked in the soft, damp earth, then released it at the same time, clearly very pleased with the name.

But what's even more important for it is its symbolic meaning.

Di Tian couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, "My lord, that human?"

Do you still remember the two gods who perished ten thousand years ago?

"The Angel God and the Rakshasa God?!" Di Tian's pupils contracted sharply. The fierce divine war ten thousand years ago had left a very deep impression on him.

The majestic voice continued, "The Angel God belongs to the Light Goddess, while the Rakshasa God belongs to the Dark Goddess. These two opposing forces share a commonality: the first generation of deities both originated from the Douluo Plane, ultimately solidifying their faith to create their own divine positions. After the divine positions shattered, certain origins naturally returned. And that human was chosen by the consciousness of the Douluo Plane, the sole chosen one of this era."

"If the Three-Eyed Golden Lion carries the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest, then this human may be the last hope of the entire Douluo Plane."

"Could it be that the consciousness of the Douluo Plane is gradually fading away, and it has no choice but to take this action? Hoping that human will achieve godhood, thereby gaining a sliver of a chance to upgrade the plane?" Di Tian asked in shock. "But didn't you say, Master, that the Douluo Plane is far from being in decline?"

"The weakening of the consciousness of the Douluo plane is not because the plane is decaying," the voice replied after a long silence. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, perhaps it should now be called Gu Qingqiu.

She listened to the conversation between Di Tian and the mysterious voice, but her eyes were filled with confusion.

Gu Qingqiu didn't understand the significance behind the so-called weakening of the consciousness of the Douluo plane and the plane's upgrade. She just felt that the human seemed to be as special as she was.

So they really are the same kind of people.

……

Shrek Academy Poseidon Pavilion.

As golden light gathered, Elder Mu reappeared on the recliner in the lobby on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion.

A disheveled figure rose from the protruding rock in the center of the open space in front of the Sea God Pavilion and arrived beside Elder Mu in the next instant.

Although Elder Xuan had been in a slump in recent years, Zhang Lexuan's dramatic kneeling gave him a way out. With the encouragement of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, he naturally stayed on.

"Where have you been these past few days, Elder Mu?"

"I went to see some interesting things." Old Mu smiled slightly, his usually somber eyes filled with joy and satisfaction.

Elder Xuan didn't understand why, but he could tell that Elder Mu was in a very good mood, so he smiled as well.

"It should be a good thing."

Old Master Mu smiled without saying a word and slowly closed his eyes.

He regarded Ye Xixuan as the hope of Shrek Academy. Although this time he was only taking Tang Ya to the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts, he personally followed behind the two of them to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Only after Ye Xixuan and Tang Ya left the Star Dou Great Forest did he return to the Sea God Pavilion.

"A fragmented divine consciousness from another dimension, an unprecedented choice of a million-year-old soul beast, and an encounter with the Emperor-level auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion..."

All signs prove that Ye Xixuan has been blessed by heaven and born with destiny, and will surely stand at the pinnacle of this era in the future.

"With Xi Xuan around, Shrek Academy can be guaranteed peace for a thousand years." Elder Mu sighed in his heart, but a sense of guilt also arose.

"In the end, I am still using Le Xuan's life to tie the future of the academy to my own."

Since Zhang Lexuan insisted on this during their initial conversation, his angry words afterward might have been a genuine attempt to use her to tightly bind Ye Xixuan to Shrek Academy.

Although this was not his intention, it had indeed become the case, and he considered himself nothing more than a hypocrite with a veneer of respectability.

After all, Xuanzi and Yan Shaozhe have obvious personality flaws and are not qualified to take over his position for a long time, while Beibei's talent is ultimately lacking. Therefore, Ye Xixuan is the best choice to inherit the position of Sea God Pavilion Master.

Fortunately, over the years, seeing the genuine smiles that Zhang Lexuan and Ye Xixuan showed when they were together, Elder Mu finally found some solace.

What he hopes to see most right now is for Ye Xixuan to grow up quickly and have a child with Zhang Lexuan, leaving a bond within the academy.

In this way, he could finally fulfill his wish and leave peacefully.

As for Tang Ya's matter, it's not a big deal for young people to be a little sentimental.

Back then, didn't he also feed so many ravenous female Soul Masters?
