Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 199 God-Slaying Soul-Guided Cannon

She was testing Su Qiu's "acceptance"—whether it was genuine or feigned, a well-considered choice or a momentary impulse.

Na'er also looked at Su Qiu nervously. Her purple eyes no longer held their usual cunning and liveliness, but were instead filled with seriousness and a hint of barely perceptible unease.

She was more concerned about Su Qiu's attitude.

Su Qiu took a deep breath and met Gu Yue's gaze without flinching.

You can't fool people by lying.

However, he only needs to conceal part of the truth and reveal his true thoughts.

"Warning? Fear?" He shook his head. "It would be a lie to say I didn't."

He said frankly, "But Gu Yue, how long have we known each other? We've studied together, cultivated together, and gone through so much together. In my heart, you are first and foremost Gu Yue, and only then the Silver Dragon King."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Na'er, his tone softening further: "Na'er too. First and foremost, she is the Na'er who loves snacks, loves to play, and can be a little temperamental, and only then is she the Golden Dragon King."

"Moreover, it's not about being an enemy of humanity."

Su Qiu shrugged, and a faint white light quietly shone from the Radiant Dragon Seal in his palm. "Since I have accepted the gifts from the Dragon Kings, I will naturally stand on the side of the Dragon Clan. But I am also human, and I will find the possibility for humans and soul beasts to coexist."

"Not really?" Gu Yue's voice was very soft: "Su Qiu, do you think that the grudges between the dragon race and humans can be easily dismissed based on the friendship between us, or the few gifts you received in Dragon Valley?"

She took a step closer, and although there was still a distance between them, the oppressive feeling stemming from their different levels of life and racial positions was palpable.

"Do you know why the Dragon God fell? Do you know why my Soul Beast race was driven from the altar, trapped in the Douluo realm, and gradually withering away? Do you know how the rules set by the human god realm have gradually compressed our race's living space, turning the former protagonists of heaven and earth into resources needed for your Soul Masters' cultivation?"

In Gu Yue's silver eyes, there was no longer the scrutiny or complexity she showed when facing Su Qiu alone, but rather the sorrow and chilling aura that belonged to the Silver Dragon King and the Lord of Soul Beasts, accumulated over countless years.

I know, but you're the one who doesn't know.

Thinking this, Su Qiu didn't say it aloud.

The rules for oppressing soul beasts were established by the Dragon God, and being split in two by the God Realm was the Dragon God's own choice.

The Dragon God bears the majority of the responsibility for all the misfortunes suffered by the soul beasts.

This is also why the Dragon God pretended to be dead and became withdrawn.

This is also why the remnant souls of the Dragon King in Dragon Valley obediently stay inside and do nothing.

But Gu Yue didn't know that.

Su Qiu didn't dare to say anything.

He could clearly feel the sorrow in Gu Yue's words, a racial grief that transcended millennia.

He was afraid that if he said it now, Gu Yue would go crazy.

Looking quietly at Gu Yue, Su Qiu waited until her emotions calmed down before speaking slowly, his voice low but firm: "I know these grudges are etched in our bones and cannot be erased with a few words."

"I will take action on the specifics; you just wait and see."

"We'll talk about the future later, but at least I'm willing to help you now."

It was difficult to explain to Gu Yue, so Su Qiu chose to run away first. It wouldn't be surprising what Gu Yue would do after learning the truth.

Escaping may be shameful, but it can be useful.

Hearing this, Na'er couldn't help but rush over and hug Su Qiu's arm tightly, her purple eyes full of dependence: "Brother Su Qiu, I knew you wouldn't abandon us!"

Gu Yue also relaxed slightly; she didn't want to give up this time together.

But he still asked, "Help us? How will you help?"

Su Qiu felt Na'er tighten her grip on his arm and said confidently, "How can I help? It's very simple."

"Of the four major powers in the Federation, I can see that you want to take control of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect."

"Na'er is in charge of the Spirit Pagoda."

"I'll help you get promoted!"

"Specifically?" Gu Yue nodded slightly. As long as one knew her identity as a soul beast, it would be easy to guess her purpose.

"Great powers are all about personal connections and social skills." Su Qiu said proudly, head held high. "What I have in abundance is connections!"

“And I have a great achievement to tell you about right now.” Gu Yue raised her silver eyes slightly, clearly intrigued by his confident demeanor, and barely maintained her cool tone: “Oh? What achievement?”

Na'er also looked up, her purple eyes full of curiosity, and tightened her grip on Su Qiu's arm, as if afraid of missing something fun.

"Godslayer Soul-Slaying Cannon!"

Gu Yue's silver eyes suddenly narrowed. Having studied human society for so many years, she naturally knew what this was: "What did you say?"

"The God-Slaying Soul-Guided Cannon," Su Qiu said slowly. "The ultimate weapon developed by the Federation, it is said to be able to slay gods."

"I don't know what the original purpose of developing this was."

"But I know my purpose now."

Connecting this to Su Qiu's earlier words, Gu Yue instantly understood: "Shrek Academy"

She couldn't help but laugh, "Heh, you humans are really interesting."

Su Qiu did not refute Gu Yue's cold "heh heh".

Because he knew that Gu Yue's satire was correct; the infighting and madness within humanity could sometimes be more terrifying than that of other races.

“That’s right, it’s Shrek Academy,” Su Qiu affirmed, his tone grave. “When I was in Dragon Valley, I saw some fragments of the future with the help of the Emerald Dragon King’s soul bone. One of them was Shrek City being reduced to ruins in a horrific explosion.”

The theft of the God-Slaying Missile was something that couldn't be prevented in advance, and Su Qiu hadn't even considered alerting the Federation.

The bombing of Shrek Academy was definitely not the work of the Holy Spirit Cult alone. Putting aside other matters, the Federation was certainly aware of it.

Because it's too absurd.

It's like how the two super nuclear bombs, which the entire nation had built with its resources in the previous life, were stolen by other countries.

Totally impossible.

It could only have been done intentionally by the federal government.

Su Qiu continued, "If you inform Shrek Academy and stop all of this, I can't say for sure about other things. But getting into the Sea God Pavilion is a certainty."

"Inform Shrek Academy to stop the explosion," Gu Yue slowly repeated Su Qiu's words, her voice devoid of emotion.

She naturally believed the information Su Qiu provided, so it was up to her to convince Shrek Academy.

Seeing the two talking, Na'er, feeling out of place, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Pushing Su Qiu aside, he said, "Alright, alright, let's go back first. I've been so bored out of my mind since we came out."

Back at the hotel in Xingluo City.

Looking at the night outside the window, Gu Yue recalled the scene of Su Qiu devising a plan not long ago, and remembered her original purpose.

As expected, with Su Qiu as a great general, our cause is bound to succeed.

She couldn't help but hum softly.

Di Tian and Zi Ji, who were secretly protecting each other, couldn't help but exchange a glance.

I don't understand why the Lord still wants to continue his plan to infiltrate humanity.

Now that he has inherited the legacy of the Dragon God, even without Na'er's help, Gu Yue can sweep away everything and is not afraid of the return of the God Realm.

In the end, they didn't ask.

As long as the Lord has fun.

In any case, the soul beasts are already in an invincible position.

Meanwhile, Su Qiu opened her eyes helplessly, only to hear a loud knocking on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Brother Su Qiu, are you asleep?"

"Bang bang bang!"

　Hee hee
