Shen Han Yu's words fell gently, yet they stirred up towering waves in Gu Yuena's heart, like a massive boulder crashing into a bottomless abyss. The calm surface was torn apart, revealing the surging undercurrents beneath.
Gu Yuena did not know what kind of mood she was in at this moment. She did not know whether she should feel fortunate or regretful. Shen Han Yu's words made her feel confused and at a loss for the first time since the God War.
"The collision between hearts and hearts, the contradictions between races and races—this is merely a corner of the era, and even more so, a tiny fragment in history that can be forgotten at any time…"
Gu Yuena said softly. The Silver Dragon King, who possessed a profound foundation and had inherited the wise side of the Dragon God, was unexpectedly at a loss for words at this moment.
The chaotic thoughts and emotions made her inexplicably irritable, and this kind of emotion should not have appeared in an existence like hers.
Shen Han Yu did not respond. He simply watched Gu Yuena quietly until her aura gradually returned to calm, and the unusual emotions in her eyes regained clarity. Only then did he speak softly:
"I am a very complicated person. I do not like fighting or endless scheming. At the beginning, I thought that as long as I was strong enough, I could avoid being dragged into it. But later, I discovered that I also have people I care about. Even if I dislike this boring game, I inevitably get involved…"
"After that, my thoughts changed several times, and I myself experienced countless contradictions. Yet there was always a layer of fog shrouding my thoughts."
"Becoming a god is only the starting point. It is merely a step from being a chess piece to becoming a chess player. If I want to truly obtain everything I desire, I must create a world as I imagine it, one that is powerful and wonderful enough to encompass everything in this world, and I will be the ultimate chess player…"
Shen Han Yu said calmly, but the confidence and determination in his tone were almost unchangeable.
The corner of Gu Yuena's mouth curved into a faint arc as she continued:
"You really are selfish and arrogant enough. Actually, I really want to know—if one day the race faces a catastrophe and you need to sacrifice your own life to save it, would you… be willing?"
Shen Han Yu raised an eyebrow. Without much thought, he answered directly:
"No, that has nothing to do with me."
Gu Yuena's expression remained unchanged as she asked:
"Why?"
Shen Han Yu chuckled lightly and said:
"If I were born in a peaceful, ordinary world without soul power, then perhaps I would be willing…"
"But this world is inherently unfair. Everyone must follow the law of the jungle. From the moment of birth, everyone is destined to face unfairness. Those with superior backgrounds or powerful talents are destined to stand above others, while those with low talent and no background are destined to be unable to climb higher…"
"Race is just a name. Believing that all beings within the same race are equal is, to be honest, somewhat foolish. Let me give you an example: you, the noble Silver Dragon King, are a soul beast, and a ten-year-level lone wolf is also a soul beast. But do I need to say more about the gap between you two? Apart from sharing the word 'race,' what else do you have in common? The beings within a race are ultimately divided into high and low, noble and lowly… In other words, would you be willing to abandon yourself for such a thing…"
"The same goes for human soul masters. These words may sound unpleasant, but you only need to go out and take a look to realize that everything I said has its reasons…"
"Their lives have nothing to do with me. I have no obligation to be responsible for them. Just as you never care about the life and death of those ten-year soul beasts, our vision and the things we care about have long since moved beyond this…"
A trace of emptiness appeared in Gu Yuena's eyes. Countless memories flashed before her. In the end, she nodded with a complicated mood, her head seeming much heavier.
"You are right. What we have been paying attention to has never been these things. Let's go. It is not yet the time to discuss these topics. I hope we can have a proper talk in the future…"
Shen Han Yu nodded and said:
"You are always welcome…"
…
As the white light slowly dissipated, the figures of Shen Han Yu and Gu Yuena appeared one after another in front of everyone.
Snow Empress's eyes lit up. She quickly walked up to Shen Han Yu. Looking at Shen Han Yu, whose temperament had clearly changed somewhat, Snow Empress paused slightly before asking softly:
"Are you okay? I was very worried about you…"
When she said this, Shen Han Yu seemed to see a flash of moisture at the corner of Snow Empress's eyes. But when he blinked and looked again, it had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the deep worry in those beautiful eyes and his own clear reflection.
When someone truly loves you, their eyes will only contain your reflection. Shen Han Yu truly felt this sensation…
"I'm fine. I just completed a significant breakthrough. I'll explain it to you slowly when we get back…"
Shen Han Yu smiled and rubbed Snow Empress's head. In the past, let alone casually touching Snow Empress's head, even making her roll over would have been difficult…
Amid surprise and worry, Snow Empress's expression became somewhat strange. She then lifted her head from Shen Han Yu's neck and gently sniffed him, seemingly detecting something off.
"Wait… Why do you have the aura of a soul beast on you, and it seems to be an extremely powerful dragon-type one…"
As she spoke, Snow Empress's somewhat dangerous gaze turned toward Gu Yuena, who was calmly conversing with Bi Ji and Zi Ji nearby.
Gu Yuena suddenly felt a chill down her spine. When she turned her head, she found Snow Empress staring at her with slight hostility. This inexplicable hostility left her momentarily confused.
Shen Han Yu also noticed the Snow Empress's change. He pinched her delicate nose in amusement and whispered in her ear:
"Xue'er, are you overthinking things again…"
Snow Empress turned her head back and snorted lightly, saying:
"Where did the dragon aura on your body come from? It's so strong. You stayed alone with her inside for so long. What's wrong with me being suspicious? Are you in such a hurry to distance yourself? Are you…"
"Stop, stop, stop…"
Shen Han Yu interrupted Snow Empress's endless chatter with some amusement, then blocked her mouth in a way that Snow Empress also liked very much.
During the kiss, Snow Empress's initiative was particularly strong, even exceeding Shen Han Yu's expectations. This made Gu Yuena and the other two, who noticed the scene, blush and secretly curse Snow Empress for being shameless.
After the tender moment, Snow Empress's face also carried a trace of blush. Facing the low whispers of reproach from Gu Yuena and the others, she did not care at all. She simply turned her head and said:
"What are you looking at? Are you jealous because you haven't kissed anyone yourself? Hmph…"
Gu Yuena and the others: Our fists are hardened, family…
Shen Han Yu could not help but find it funny. Snow Empress's current change was indeed quite significant. He just didn't know how long it would take for her to forget this sweet yet troublesome memory once this special period passed…
Snow Empress: I traded a lifetime of introversion for this moment of boldness. Whoever dares to spread rumors, I'll have Haixi bite you…
…
After a brief rest, the group of five gathered together again. Gu Yuena said softly:
"The humans outside have probably already woken up. But if we want to get out, we must use the special means left behind here. The commotion caused by these special means will definitely not be small and will surely attract the attention and vigilance of those human soul masters…"
Shen Han Yu glanced at Gu Yuena and said:
"Just use your spiritual soul skill once more. A ninety-fifth-level Super Douluo and a group of soul masters below Title Douluo level, even if they had heaven-defying abilities, they still wouldn't be able to escape your soul skill lock, right?"
Gu Yuena silently clenched her fists and said softly:
"The previous spiritual-type soul skill was something I borrowed external power to cast. I myself do not possess the authority over the spiritual attribute…"
Shen Han Yu responded softly, then sighed and said:
"If there's really no other way, then we'll just end it quickly. Afterward, we can erase their memories."
Gu Yuena and the other three could not think of a better method, so they could only nod and agree with Shen Han Yu's idea.
…
Arriving at the place where they had entered, Gu Yuena casually forced out two drops of her own blood and threw them into the air. As the two drops of blood automatically decomposed in mid-air and slowly condensed into a dragon-shaped phantom, the surrounding spatial power began to become chaotic and turbulent. In the next moment, the same dizzying sensation as when they entered struck them. The next instant, everyone's figures disappeared completely, leaving this independent space that would soon collapse entirely without its support.
Inside the True Dragon Hall.
Yu Yuanzhen, sitting in the main seat with lowered brows and eyes, let out a low sigh. He then looked toward the several elders below who also wore grave expressions and asked in a deep voice:
"Still no clues at all? Could it be that such a large sect doesn't even have a single awake disciple? Or rather, in three whole days, no one from the outside has noticed the family's abnormality? Has my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan really fallen to the point where no one cares?"
The group of elders and stewards below lowered their heads and exchanged glances, their eyes full of helplessness and confusion. For a long time, not a single one dared to answer Yu Yuanzhen's words.
In the end, it was Yu Luo Mian who, seeing the atmosphere becoming too tense, braced himself and stepped forward to say:
"Big brother, this bizarre incident, even you were affected, let alone the sect disciples. How could soul kings and below possibly have survived…"
"And unfortunately, didn't you announce a temporary mountain closure some time ago? So most of the family disciples were inside the mountain. Even the few disciples handling family business outside wouldn't dare return to the sect without orders…"
"Moreover, these three days are neither too long nor too short. Understandably, the outside world hasn't noticed the family's abnormality for the time being…"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other elders and stewards nodded in agreement.
Listening to the chatter below, Yu Yuanzhen rubbed his brow, then slammed his hand heavily on the armrest of his seat. Terrifying pressure instantly spread out. The terrifying aura of a Super Douluo immediately frightened all the elders and stewards into silence. They could only wait quietly for Yu Yuanzhen's decision.
"Enough. Fortunately, the family did not suffer any losses this time. Otherwise, I, all of you, and any disciple of the sect would find it hard to escape blame. This matter is truly too bizarre. Second brother, afterward send a letter to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. Explain the situation and invite Bone Douluo to come and investigate. His martial soul is extremely sensitive to space and auras. Perhaps he will find something…"
Yu Yuanzhen said calmly. The dignity of a sect master erupted, and for a moment, no one dared to disobey. Yu Luo Mian also nodded respectfully, but a trace of grievance flashed in his eyes hidden in the shadows…
Just as the elders and stewards were about to withdraw, a strange spatial fluctuation appeared on the huge mural behind Yu Yuanzhen. The resulting aura fluctuation instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Yu Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment. Then, nine soul rings instantly rose. Violent lightning flickered across his body. Yu Yuanzhen's aura surged in this moment, becoming extremely dangerous and terrifying.
Behind him, dozens of people simultaneously activated their martial souls. As soul rings of various colors flashed, the terrifying auras unique to lightning and true dragons spread out, almost enough to crush the entire True Dragon Hall.
Just as everyone's expressions were stretched to the limit, several extremely terrifying auras suddenly descended. The auras emitted by two of them directly suppressed the martial souls of many Soul Saint-level stewards back into their bodies. Even Yu Yuanzhen staggered back several steps. Feeling the absolute suppression on his martial soul, a trace of horror could not help but appear on his face…
"Sirs, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has no grudge or enmity with you…"
Before Yu Yuanzhen could finish speaking, Gu Yuena casually waved her hand and instantly sent him flying. The people behind Yu Yuanzhen sensed something was wrong, and all rose to flee outside the hall. But before they could take more than a few steps, they were restricted by extremely icy and snowy conditions, freezing each one like statues in place.
Yu Yuanzhen still wanted to resist, but in the next moment, a terrifying spiritual impact rushed straight into his sea of spirit, instantly rendering him unable to move…
Gu Yuena looked at Shen Han Yu with some surprise, as if astonished that he had such a targeted soul attack soul skill.
Shen Han Yu shrugged and said:
"Million-year Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm spiritual skull attached skill—Soul Impact. A pure soul-type attack soul skill. If I remember correctly, this is the first time I've used it. I almost forgot I still had a soul bone skill…"
A trace of surprise appeared in Gu Yuena's eyes. She then said:
"Ice Silkworm? When could such a weak soul beast cultivate to the million-year level? Have the ferocious beasts in the Extreme North already declined to this extent? They don't even enjoy such natural blood bags…"
As she spoke, Gu Yuena turned her gaze toward the cold-faced Snow Empress.
Snow Empress felt uncomfortable all over, being stared at by Gu Yuena's gaze. After a long while, she said:
"Um… well, that big bug was too ugly. I really couldn't bring myself to eat it…"
