Because the Star Dou Forest core area was a forbidden zone for humans, Qian Ruyue did not plan to bring the elders of Spirit Hall with her. Doing so would likely leave no chance to negotiate with them at all. Pretending she was heading to the Spirit Hall Academy, Qian Ruyue secretly slipped away midway and went alone toward the Star Dou Forest.
—— Star Dou Forest Core Area ——
"Roar!" The Titan Giant Ape suddenly let out a thunderous roar toward the direction where Qian Ruyue was hiding.
"Aiya, I've been discovered!" Qian Ruyue withdrew her Life Domain and slowly walked out.
"Human, this is not a place you should come to. Leave at once." The Azure Bull Python raised its head from the lake, staring coldly at Qian Ruyue as it released a terrifying aura, warning her.
"Qian Ruyue of Spirit Hall requests an audience with the Beast God Di Tian and Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena." Qian Ruyue ignored the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python's threats, using soul power to wrap her voice and speak loudly.
"Human, how dare you! Leave immediately!" The Azure Bull Python roared in anger, releasing overwhelming pressure to force Qian Ruyue away.
But with the God of Destruction's divine power protecting her, Qian Ruyue simply disregarded this bootlicking snake—this lapdog of Xiao Wu and follower of Tang San. She continued shouting:
"Qian Ruyue of Spirit Hall requests an audience with the Beast God Di Tian and Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena!"
In an instant, the previously clear sky darkened completely. Violent winds surged. A massive pressure descended. Even with the God of Destruction's protection, Qian Ruyue could no longer remain airborne, slowly descending onto a tall boulder by the lake, quietly watching the lake surface as she waited.
"Human, did you come here seeking death?" A deep, powerful voice echoed.
"Of course not. I naturally came here to see the legendary Beast God… and because I have something important to discuss with Gu Yuena." Qian Ruyue spoke to Di Tian without placing herself lower, treating him with a calm, equal attitude.
"Impudent!" Di Tian roared.
But this pressure—enough to crush an ordinary Titled Douluo—did nothing to Qian Ruyue. Standing on the boulder, she smiled sweetly and said:
"Di Tian, I am the successor of a God King. With Lord God of Destruction's protection, you cannot harm me. Can we calm down and talk properly?"
"Successor… of a god…" Di Tian muttered.
"What do you want to discuss?" A cold, aloof voice rang out. At the center of the Lake of Life, an incomparably beautiful woman slowly emerged. Her beauty made even heaven and earth pale.
"Nana!" Qian Ruyue exclaimed.
"Hmph."
"Di Tian, let me tell you all a story. But can we not let that gorilla and snake listen? I don't like them." Qian Ruyue glanced sideways at the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python—those two bootlickers of Xiao Wu and lackeys of Tang San.
The human-formed Di Tian appeared beside Gu Yuena, slightly behind her, showing respect. With a single glance from him, the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python fled like mice seeing a cat.
Qian Ruyue slowly sat on the boulder, took out tea and desserts, and waved at Di Tian and Gu Yuena. Seeing that Di Tian had no intention of sitting, Qian Ruyue pouted and began eating by herself as she narrated.
She told the stories from her past life: how Tang San manipulated the relationship between soul beasts and humans, how after becoming a god he schemed to give the auspicious three-eyed golden lion to his daughter, how Tang San's son got entangled with Gu Yuena due to Tang San's calculations, and more.
When the story ended, Di Tian and Gu Yuena had already sat beside Qian Ruyue and were also eating. A whole day had passed.
Gu Yuena looked at Qian Ruyue with an unpleasant expression and asked, "What you said… are these truly only stories?"
Looking at the silver-haired, breathtakingly cold and beautiful woman before her, Qian Ruyue was stunned for a moment, unable to speak. Both Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue were stunning, both were aloof beauties—but their beauty was of completely different kinds, each uniquely captivating.
Seeing Qian Ruyue not respond, Gu Yuena frowned. Qian Ruyue, seeing the beauty frown, realized she had been rude and immediately replied:
"To me, they were stories. To you, they are also stories—but not entirely. I come from another world, reincarnated as Spirit Hall's second young miss, but I clearly remember everything from my previous life. What I said is what I saw in that life, but everything happening now is real—and what I speak of is what will happen in the future."
"Then let's kill Tang San!" Gu Yuena burst into killing intent.
"If I could kill him, I would have already. But he is protected by the Sea God. You can't kill him—and doing so would expose yourself. If the God Realm discovers you, even you would be in danger, right?" Qian Ruyue persuaded.
"What did you come to me for?" Gu Yuena asked.
"Let's cooperate, Gu Yuena. I don't want soul beasts in the future to become museum specimens… or mere legends in textbooks. When that time comes, it will be a catastrophe for humans as well. Though I'm not the child of a human and soul beast, I want peace between the two species far more than Tang San does. He believes he alone can decide the fate of soul beasts, defining good and evil at will—that cannot be allowed."
Qian Ruyue reached out her hand, showing sincerity.
"How do I trust you?" Gu Yuena tilted her head.
"I swear upon my future godhood: I truly wish to work with you—to resolve the conflict between humans and soul beasts, to help you achieve Dragon Godhood and remove future dangers in the God Realm, and to eliminate Tang San and the Sea God. Whether Tang San set up schemes for his child to obtain Golden Dragon King power, none can be fully proven—but his 20,000 years of scheming is a fact. He never cared about triggering beast tides, nor the lives of humans or soul beasts. He even plotted the auspicious three-eyed golden lion for his daughter. I hope we can work together to accomplish our respective goals."
"I believe you. Since that's the case, then let's cooperate. But you must keep your word—otherwise, I will not spare you."
"I'm happy to fight by your side. Want to join me in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament?" Qian Ruyue asked.
"I still need to heal. I likely can't go with you." Gu Yuena said somewhat apologetically.
Qian Ruyue remembered Gu Yuena's severe injuries—she had needed ten thousand years to recover before she could take human form.
Qian Ruyue released her martial soul and Life Domain, beginning to heal Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena was shocked by Qian Ruyue's spirit ring configuration and planned to ask about it later, quietly accepting the treatment. Feeling her injuries easing, even she could not help being surprised.
Qian Ruyue took out the Staff of Life, increasing her healing power. Time flew; half a day passed. Her soul power ran dry, and she put away her martial soul, apologizing:
"Sorry, I didn't expect your injuries to be so severe. I'm only a Soul Emperor—so I still can't completely heal you."
"It's fine. I already feel much better. Thank you. If I had to recover on my own, who knows how long it would take. Your spirit rings?" Gu Yuena's cold eyes warmed slightly.
"My first ring was gifted to me by a unicorn mother who sacrificed herself to save her child. Later her child and mate even saved my life. The second ring came from a ten-thousand-year Moonfall Golden Butterfly Lily. The next three were soul beasts of light or fire attributes. The sixth ring was God-bestowed." Qian Ruyue explained quickly.
"I see."
"By the way, Nana… regarding the Blue Silver Emperor, the Soft Bone Rabbit Xiao Wu, and the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python—what do you plan to do?" Qian Ruyue asked.
