Douluo Continent: I Can Summon Heroic Spirits

Chapter 92 Interstellar Travel

"Time-space turbulence—truly terrifying."

Di Tian hovered at the edge of the God Realm, gazing at the massive cosmic calamity beyond the God Realm, muttering to himself.

"Lord Ditian, what about Lord Dragon God—" A human god beside him asked with a worried expression.

"I have already informed the Lord." Di Tian withdrew his gaze. "Thunder God, there is no need to worry."

"With your current strength, Lord, this level of spacetime turbulence is not enough for the God Realm."

Thor nodded upon hearing this, but the next second, he suddenly gasped in surprise, pointing upwards and exclaiming, "Look, it's Lord Dragon God!"

All the surrounding gods looked up in awe.

High in the sky, a stunningly beautiful silver figure had quietly appeared.

She stood with her hands behind her back, her cool face expressionless, silently watching the approaching spatial turbulence.

The cosmic storm was drawing ever closer. Looking at it now, it appeared as a massive, rapidly spinning gray cloud. At the cloud's core, a deep gray light flickered and alternated faintly.

The closer one gets to the core, the more intense the aura of destruction becomes. There, the most violent spacetime forces in the universe are compressed, a truly terrifying existence possessing the power to reverse fate and shatter planes.

This massive spacetime turbulence has a diameter of over one hundred kilometers, and the energy it contains is unprecedentedly violent.

As it swept toward the realm of gods, even the brightest stars dimmed in comparison. The vast universe seemed to have specially opened a path of annihilation for it, with all the stars retreating.

Beyond the turbulent flow, there were swirling bands of gray clouds. They moved silently, like long whips capable of shattering stars, without making a sound, yet exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

"My lord, should we form an array?"

Di Tian flashed into the air, followed closely by several gods.

This realm contains both powerful beast gods and human deities such as the Thunder God. Under Gu Yuena's rule, the once irreconcilable conflict between humans and beasts has been greatly alleviated in the divine realm.

Upon hearing Di Tian's question, Gu Yuena turned her head slightly and shook it casually.

"A mere spatial-temporal turbulence is enough for me alone."

Before the words were even finished, the gods only felt a blur before their eyes, and even their divine senses could not capture the trajectory of that instant.

Gu Yuena's figure had already transformed into a dazzling silver light, instantly breaking free from the protection of the God Realm's central hub and heading straight for that destructive spacetime turbulence!

"this!"

Thor's pupils shrank sharply, his face filled with horror.

The Dragon God doesn't intend to stay in the central part of the divine realm and use the divine barrier to resist the disaster, but instead intends to use his divine body and divine power to withstand the spatial-temporal turbulence?!

Watching that silver figure rush headlong into the gray storm of destruction, Di Tian's heart tightened.

"My lord—what exactly do you want to do?"

Gu Yuena had already transformed into a streak of silver light, and without hesitation, she plunged headlong into the gray storm of destruction.

The raging power of spacetime instantly engulfed her. The dual laws of time and space, like countless sharp blades, frantically intertwined and baptized around her.

However, Gu Yuena, who was at the center of the storm, frowned slightly.

That's it?

She felt an absurd sense of disappointment.

Gu Yuena raised her hand expressionlessly and waved it casually.

In an instant, the immense power of creation surged forth like a burst dam, and the gray cloud band that could have swallowed even stars was forced back tens of thousands of meters by this power.

This turbulent flow of spacetime seemed to have gained self-awareness. Sensing the provocation, it unleashed an even more terrifying suction and strangulation force, frantically retaliating against her with layers of power.

But all is in vain.

Gu Yuena's divine power was as vast as the universe, and no matter how rampant the laws of space and time were, they could not penetrate the divine light surrounding her.

Looking at the powerless and furious gray current before her, Gu Yuena couldn't help but shake her head in disappointment.

"Even the spacetime turbulence that strikes fear into the hearts of the gods—is this all there is to it?"

Just as she was about to lose all patience and forcefully defeat it, the surrounding gray turbulence suddenly trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, a blinding burst of light erupted.

Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes slightly, and when her vision returned, she found herself no longer in the original void of the universe, but in a strange and unknown multidimensional space.

There was no distinction between heaven and earth in the surroundings, only countless crisscrossing three-dimensional grids.

Here, time is no longer a flowing river, but is materialized into solid crystal walls that refract light and shadow. Countless images overlap and extend infinitely within these crystal walls, like an endless labyrinth composed of slices of time.

"A little trick."

Gu Yuena snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

She raised her hand again, her palm rapidly gathering divine power, intending to shatter the spatial barrier directly.

But the next second, her gaze inadvertently swept across the crystal wall in front of her, and she was struck dumb, frozen in place.

The destructive power gathered in his palm dissipated instantly. The hand that was originally about to shatter the barrier trembled uncontrollably in mid-air, and finally slowly fell down, turning into a gentle caress, quietly resting on the cold crystal wall.

"Is it...you?"

Gu Yuena's voice trembled slightly.

What did she see?

Within this materialized time crystal wall, she saw her own past.

She saw him walking side-by-side in the corridor of the familiar Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy; she saw them strolling and chatting carefree in the Star Dou Great Forest; she saw them fighting side-by-side on the arena of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, lifting the championship trophy together, and smiling at each other—

Scene after scene, all of them were pictures of them together.

"Morning Star----"

Gu Yuena's eyes were completely captivated.

She stood there blankly in this folded time-space maze, staring through the cold crystal walls at the man in the picture who haunted her dreams and whom she could not forget even after becoming the strongest in the divine realm. She could no longer look away.

Gu Yuena traversed this bizarre and unknown dimension, looking back at every little detail of her and his past. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the scenery in front of her suddenly changed.

Countless intersecting and overlapping slices of time transformed into rows of spatial barriers resembling towering bookshelves, standing silently in the void.

Through the gaps that resembled a bookshelf, she could see with incredible clarity the scene that had unfolded in a study years ago.

Inside the study.

A white-haired man casually leaned back on a large sofa, idly toying with a golden trident in his hand.

With a creak, the study door was pushed open, and Gu Yuena slowly walked into the room, looking at her past self.

[I thought he was going to be some big boss, but all that anticipation turned out to be this?]

Ye Chenxing casually tossed the trident onto the table beside him.

Gu Yuena in the picture sighed helplessly.

"Hey, I already told you, I want to take revenge on the God of Asura myself. You really didn't need to do it yourself."

That won't do.

Tang San holds a very special meaning for me.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena simply smiled slightly, her eyes gleaming with a gentle light:

"So—what's next, Morning Star? Are you going to take over the realm of the gods?"

Ye Chenxing shook his head without hesitation.

Forget it, I don't want to stay and be a babysitter for these gods. Let them do what they want.

He paused, then looked at Gu Yuena with a solemn expression:

I'm getting ready to leave.

Upon hearing these words, Gu Yuena, who was standing outside the crystal wall, felt a sudden tremor in her heart and became agitated.

Her breathing became unusually rapid, and her hands unconsciously pressed against the cold wall in front of her.

In the scene, Gu Yuena from the past was clearly stunned, and the smile on her face instantly froze.

"You...you're leaving?"

Where to go? The lower plane?

Ye Chenxing leaned back in her chair, looked out the window at the sky, and gently shook her head.

I want to go see other places, those more remote places.

Furthermore, I also want to go back and see what the other world I came from is like now.

I did agree with that old man that I would be a substitute in the Holy Grail War.

Although I'll most likely never need to play, I still want to go back and take one last look.

The air in the study seemed to freeze.

"Then when will you come back?" Gu Yuena's voice was somewhat hoarse in the past.

Me? I probably won't be coming back.

Is that so?

Outside the crystal wall, Gu Yuena's eyes instantly reddened. She desperately pounded on the barrier before her, screaming at the top of her lungs, even though her voice couldn't penetrate time and space: "Let him stay! Don't let it go like this, please let him stay! Please, please let him stay!"

In the scene, the past Gu Yuena lowered her eyes, remained silent for a long time, and then softly asked the next question:

When do you plan to leave?

"Don't agree! Don't ask this!" Gu Yuena outside the crystal wall shook her head in despair.

[About three days later.]

Ye Chenxing looked at her and suddenly smiled.

"How about it, want to come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena, outside the crystal wall, almost pressed her face against the barrier, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Say yes! Say yes now!"

The past Gu Yuena raised her head, a struggle flashing in her eyes:

【Want to go together?】

"Don't say that—don't say it!" Gu Yuena outside closed her eyes in anguish, tears streaming down her face. "You'll regret it! You'll absolutely regret it! Don't say it!"

However, the river of time never changes its course because of personal regret.

But—I still can't let go of the soul beast race.

We've only just regained our freedom, and I think they—still need me.

"No—! Go with him—" Gu Yuena, outside the crystal wall, was completely exhausted and slid helplessly down the barrier to the ground.

Ye Chenxing was silent for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly.

I see.

As he spoke, he flipped his wrist and took out a strange crystal from his palm.

It was a rhombus-shaped, translucent gemstone, seemingly formed from the purest starlight, refracting a magnificent and mysterious rainbow of colors from within.

This is for you.

Ye Chenxing handed over the gem.

【You are now a complete Dragon God. The divine authority of the five Great God-Kings is sealed within this. If you wish to stay and govern the divine realm, having this is indeed a good thing.】

[How about it? The incredibly wise Lady Gu Yuena?]

The Gu Yue Na of the past looked at the gem that emitted seven-colored light before her, a deep look of bewilderment on her face.

After a long while, she slowly reached out and tightly grasped the holy crystal in her palm.

Ye Chenxing looked at her and smiled gently.

Consider this a parting gift. If you miss me in the future, just take it out and look at it.

Gu Yuena turned her head away.

Hmph, not a single person will miss you.

The scene abruptly ends there.

Gu Yuena knelt helplessly in the cold void.

The crystal wall before her eyes had completely dimmed, but the scene of her final farewell to Ye Chenxing ten thousand years ago was etched into her mind like a sharp blade.

"If only I had held his hand back then, instead of this ridiculous stone—"

For the past ten thousand years, she has regretted it every moment.

In fact, she had long understood her feelings for Ye Chenxing, but she couldn't let go of the responsibility that came with her identity as the Silver Dragon King. She was too proud to admit it and hesitated to speak up.

It wasn't until she completely missed him, until he truly left this world, that Gu Yuena finally realized her mistake.

Millennia of loneliness caused her inherently romantic nature to fully manifest, even giving rise to a strong tendency towards self-destruction.

This time, she abandoned the realm of gods and charged into the chaotic spacetime that left the entire realm of gods helpless, perhaps with the intention of seeking death or venting her frustrations.

However, instead of being destroyed as she wished, she was forced to relive the most painful memories she didn't want to recall.

Gu Yuena trembled as she took out the holy crystal that emitted a seven-colored light.

Overwhelmed by grief and despair, the immense power of the Dragon God surged forth, and she even felt an urge to crush the stone completely.

But suddenly, the surrounding space began to shake violently!

The spacetime turbulence that had been forced back by her divine power seemed to be drawn by something, and it resonated strangely with the holy crystal in her hand, beginning to stir wildly around her.

Amidst the deafening sound of space being torn apart, Gu Yuena faintly heard a series of intermittent murmurs.

"Don't—don't—go off-center!"

The voice sounded extremely familiar.

Then, the voice became clearer, tinged with a desperate urgency: "Goddess of Life! Come forth!!!"

Gu Yuena suddenly raised her head.

This...this is...

It's the sound of the morning star!

Before she could react, a cold and emotionless mechanical voice exploded in her consciousness.
