Tang Wulin, you have already chosen your own death!

"Then I wish you all the best." Tang Wulin smiled and patted her shoulder.

Lan Fuzi nodded vigorously.

Tang Wulin paused, glanced somewhat guiltily in the direction of the Lake of Life, and asked in a low voice, "Um... Gu Yue isn't angry, is she? How is she feeling?"

Lan Fuzi asked in bewilderment, "Why is the lord angry? She seems to be in a good mood."

Tang Wulin coughed twice and gave an awkward smile.

"That's fine, that's fine."

He was about to walk forward when he turned back and asked, "By the way, where's the auspicious beast? Wasn't it always with you?"

A strange expression suddenly appeared on Lan Fuzi's face: "Auspicious beast? Isn't he with you..."

"what?"

Before Lan Fuzi could say anything more, a mental fluctuation simultaneously entered the ears of the two of them.

"Wu Lin, come in."

It was Gu Yue's voice.

"I have something to tell you."

Lan Fuzi had no choice but to leave first.

Tang Wulin stood there, swallowing nervously, his expression somewhat unnatural.

He took a deep breath, pushed aside the dense jungle, and stepped into the area of ​​the Lake of Life.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

A turquoise lake lies quietly in the middle of the dense forest.

The lake water was incredibly clear, its emerald green color resembling jade, like a giant gemstone inlaid on the earth.

The vibrant life force transformed into a thick fog, floating on the lake's surface, a vast expanse of white that appeared exceptionally mysterious under the azure sky.

Sunlight streamed through the dense ancient trees, refracting strange light and shadow in the mist.

Such a dangerous place actually hides a lake.

It certainly seems unbelievable to outsiders.

Tang Wulin's gaze swept across the lake and landed on the figure on the lakeside.

Gu Yuena had her back to him.

Her long silver hair cascaded down to her waist, swaying gently in the breeze.

She was barefoot, her jade-like feet sinking into the lake water, her graceful figure standing tall and slender.

Tang Wulin walked over.

The closer they got, the more ethereal Gu Yuena's figure became.

The silver hair faded and turned black.

The purple eyes turned back into black eyes.

Her figure changed little by little, finally settling on the most familiar appearance in Tang Wulin's memory: black hair and black eyes, exuding a cold and aloof temperament, and the indifferent yet exquisite charm between her brows made his heart tremble.

Looking at Gu Yue's appearance in his memory, Tang Wulin felt increasingly ashamed.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Gu Yuena had already guessed that he was coming.

She turned her head slightly, glanced at him with her dark eyes, and said in a calm tone, "Alright, sit down."

"I know what happened, it's not your fault."

She said it casually.

But the pungent smell of vinegar could knock Tang Wulin off his feet even from three steps away.

Tang Wulin didn't know what to say, since he was the one who had made the mistake.

He sat obediently by the lake, plopped down on the grass, and then carefully reached out to embrace Gu Yuena's slender waist, pulling her into his arms.

Gu Yuena did not resist and simply leaned against him lightly.

She turned her head and glanced at him: "What's wrong? Your two beautiful wives and concubines didn't come in either? I thought you were going to show me off."

His tone was full of interrogation.

Tang Wulin coughed twice: "They...they also really want to meet you."

Especially Xue Di, she is very grateful to you.

You brought the ice elemental spirit back to this world, giving her a race.

She spent a long time in the far north and was very lonely, so she is very grateful to you.

He tried his best to smooth things over.

Gu Yuena snorted coldly: "Yes, she's lonely, so she came to you."

Tang Wulin's facial expression froze; he didn't know what to say.

Gu Yuena wasn't finished yet: "You still call them Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor?"

Shouldn't it be Bing'er and Xue'er? I remember you calling out so happily in my dream.

Tang Wulin almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

His mind was in turmoil.

They might as well just kill me; I can't live like this anymore.

This period of time was truly agonizing for him.

"You knew all along?" Tang Wulin asked cautiously.

Gu Yuena nodded: "Of course I can sense the power of the Dragon God."

I knew the moment you came back; I just glanced at it.

She finally looked up at him, her dark eyes fixed on Tang Wulin: "Alright, stop this."

It's not your fault, I know what happened.

She raised an eyebrow: "Why do you see me as some kind of villainous empress from a romance novel?"

Tang Wulin let out a soft breath.

Only then did Gu Yuena finally stop saying those things.

She leaned against him, her voice calmer: "Wu Lin, can you feel it?"

Every time you fall asleep, do you really believe it's a dream?

Tang Wulin frowned: "That's just too realistic."

But...that's just a dream, how could it possibly become reality?

Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow: "Do you think the Sea of ​​Spirit is a dream or reality?"

Tang Wulin fell silent.

Indeed, his spiritual sea was nothing more than an illusion within the mind in the past.

But now, with abundant energy, the sea of ​​spirit is transforming from the abstract into the concrete.

Especially after the transmigration, his spiritual sea suddenly transformed into the appearance of the former Dragon Valley.

Gu Yuena continued, "You should still remember that before you entered your dream each time, in that dream tunnel, you saw countless fragments of memories... You should be able to vaguely see a nine-colored dragon."

Tang Wulin pondered for a moment: "Dragon God?"

Gu Yuena nodded: "With the recovery of our strength, we have now reached the level of gods, and I can see it occasionally."

"I sometimes dream of the image of the Dragon God, or rather, it's not an image, but the spirit of the Dragon God."

"But isn't he already dead?"

Tang Wulin frowned and asked.

Gu Yuena gave him a deep look: "That's what I originally thought too."

But I saw something deeper, some memories of the Dragon God.

"In my original memories and records, the Dragon God was cut in two by the Asura God, becoming the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King."

But now it seems that's not the case.

"The Dragon God was originally the strongest God King."

Although the Asura God is considered a strong figure among the God Kings, he could never defeat the Dragon God.

Even if the Dragon God lay there and let him chop at him, the Asura God might not be able to kill him.

"The Dragon God has come into contact with the most primordial chaotic power in the universe and has mastered destruction and creation, which are the two powers that the Golden Dragon King within you and I, as the Silver Dragon King, embody."

"Those two forces are contradictory and conflicting, which is the real reason why the Asura God was able to sever the Dragon God."

"The resentment of the dragon god that has been troubling you, and the profound wisdom within me, both originate from this."

"Therefore, Wu Lin, a being like the Dragon God, is theoretically immortal."

He's probably waiting for something.

Tang Wulin's expression darkened: "He's been waiting for something... So you think all his so-called experiences in his dreams were influenced by him?"

What does he want to do to you and me?

The conversation between the two completely shifted to the Dragon God, and all the previous matters concerning the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were forgotten.

"So, Gu Yue, what do you think is going on?" Tang Wulin asked. "What exactly does the Dragon God want us to do?"

Gu Yuena leaned against him and remained silent for a while before speaking: "Perhaps... it's related to the power of the Dragon God and the past of the Dragon Clan in the God Realm."

What happened back then was far more complex than we imagine.

"You should know that in the original world, Di Tian kept urging me to devour you and become the Dragon God."

"But how could he know? If only things were that simple."

"Originally, I naively thought that as long as I ate you and absorbed the Golden Dragon King's bloodline from you, I could bring the Dragon God back."

But now it seems like a completely different story.

"Even the former Dragon God himself could not quell the conflict between the Golden Dragon King's Destruction God Core and the Silver Dragon King's Creation God Core."

How could I possibly do that?

Even a powerful figure like him, a god-king like him, ultimately met his own destruction.

Gu Yuena gave Tang Wulin a deep look: "Your last two seals contain immense resentment, which is intertwined with the Destruction God Core."

That malice was something even a god-king could not eradicate; it could only be sealed away.

She held Tang Wulin's hand tightly: "When you remove the last two seals, you must discuss it with me."

"Don't rush, no matter what happens."

Tang Wulin's expression was serious: "Okay, I understand."

He felt a warmth in his heart; Gu Yue was still the same Gu Yue, still thinking of him so much.

He unconsciously tightened his grip on her delicate body.

Gu Yuena continued, "Without a doubt, the Dragon God will definitely return in the future. I don't know his plans, but all the signs..."

She glanced at Tang Wulin: "The Dragon God's will has high hopes for you."

She gave a bitter smile: "After all, it was you who buried those tens of thousands of dragons in Dragonbone, not me."

I failed in my responsibilities; I ran away.

Tang Wulin comforted her, "Don't be like that, Gu Yue."

You faced far more difficulties than I did back then.

Everyone can understand your choice back then, because you didn't have time to waste those three years.

Gu Yue smiled slightly.
