Chapter 142: Gu Yue, Hu Liena
[You have fallen.]
[Extracting rewards…]
Wang Li lay on the grass, hesitating as if he wanted to speak but held himself back. This simulation had indeed been somewhat rash.
However, what puzzled him was that in the simulation, he had actually borrowed the power of other versions of Wang Li. That was truly inconceivable.
[Reward obtained: 1,000 gold soul coins.]
Wang Li: "..."
He had known that the rewards from this simulation might be low. Still, he hadn't expected the simulator to toy with him like this. The first reward was merely one thousand gold soul coins.
"Are you kidding me? What use do I have for gold soul coins?"
Wang Li complained, though his emotional fluctuations were minimal.
There truly hadn't been anything in this simulation that caught his interest.
Even the Asura God's divine position and the strength of a God King failed to move him.
The upper limit of this simulation had simply been too low.
As for the final explosive power, it had belonged to other versions of Wang Li anyway…
If this had been his first or second simulation, he might have been ecstatic, eagerly anticipating divine positions and overwhelming strength.
But his current power had already surpassed the Wang Li within the simulation…
Which made things rather awkward. It was a simulation for nothing.
[Reward obtained: God King-level strength.]
[Reward obtained: Asura divine power.]
Wang Li: "..."
The rewards were not bad. But to his present self, they were nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
Closing the simulator, Wang Li stroked his chin, deep in thought.
After simulating so many times, he must have accumulated quite a few emotional debts.
Others might not know, but the Snow Empress, Gu Yue, Hu Liena, Bo Saixi… they certainly possessed memories from the simulations.
Gu Yue and Hu Liena, in particular, perhaps their simulated memories were extremely long, stretching across vast spans of time. Who knew whether they retained memories from the primordial eras, or even the cultivation techniques from those worlds?
Thinking of this, Wang Li shook his head. The probability was low.
Qian Renxue had followed him beyond the world, beyond Douluo Continent itself, yet her memories of those events were extremely vague.
Hu Liena and Gu Yue were likely in a similar situation.
Spirit City, a secluded courtyard.
Hu Liena suddenly opened her eyes. The expression on her face turned somewhat strange, and disbelief flickered through her gaze.
It felt as though she had experienced an incredibly long dream. In that dream, she had been with Wang Li. Moreover, Wang Li had become her junior brother.
He had remained just as formidable, breaking through to Titled Douluo at a young age, defeating their teacher… Wait, defeating their teacher?
And then he had become a god, bringing her along to godhood…
The world within the "dream" had been far too fantastical. Hu Liena found it difficult to accept.
Was it truly just a dream?
But it had felt far too real.
She had already harbored deep affection for Wang Li. Yet Wang Li had publicly humiliated Bibi Dong—quite literally slapped her in the face. As Bibi Dong's disciple, how could Hu Liena openly express her feelings?
"No… this shouldn't be a dream. It was too real, like I personally experienced it."
"If it was only a dream, why can I still use the secret techniques from it?"
"Unfortunately… I can't clearly remember the world beyond the Douluo Continent…"
Hu Liena conducted a brief test. She truly could use the secret techniques from the "dream." Some were techniques she had created herself; others had been taught to her by Wang Li.
Although their power was inferior compared to the "dream," they were undeniably usable.
"I… should have been reborn."
"In this lifetime, why didn't Junior Brother become my junior brother? Still, he did slap the teacher in the face again. That part hasn't changed."
Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle in discomfort.
"I hope Teacher wasn't reborn as well. Otherwise… she might not be able to accept Junior Brother's actions."
"Teacher… Junior Brother… what exactly should I do?"
Hu Liena fell into deep contemplation.
---
Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
The true co-lord of the soul beasts suddenly opened her eyes. A trace of subtle confusion flashed across them.
"Wang… Li."
"This… shouldn't be a dream."
Though she had been gravely injured, at her level of existence, it was not so easy to fall into dreams.
Moreover, she had never even met him in this lifetime, so how could she possibly dream of such things?
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something. Her expression shifted to astonishment.
"My injuries… are they completely healed?"
Asura divine power was not something that could be expelled so easily. To remove it entirely should have taken at least twenty thousand years.
Yet her wounds had inexplicably vanished.
Not only that, her strength had returned to its former peak.
"I was reborn?"
"This must be a special ability brought about by rebirth…"
Gu Yue murmured to herself. Other than that explanation, she could find no reason.
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
The commotion from the Silver Dragon King awakened the ferocious beasts. Di Tian asked in confusion.
"My injuries are no more."
Upon hearing this, the ferocious beasts were stunned, utterly bewildered.
The Silver Dragon King had previously told them that expelling the Asura divine power would take at least twenty thousand years. How had she suddenly recovered?
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Though they did not know what had occurred, the Silver Dragon King's recovery was undoubtedly a joyous event.
Every time a human became a god, they were forced to hide.
Now that the Silver Dragon King had fully recovered, they would no longer need to live in concealment.
"Your Majesty, when shall we launch a beast tide and unify the Douluo Continent?"
Xiong Jun asked impatiently.
The entire Douluo Continent had originally belonged to soul beasts. Humans had merely seized it like parasitic usurpers.
Prey daring to claim themselves as masters?
That depended on whether he, Xiong Jun, would agree!
If not for the fear that another human might suddenly ascend to godhood, and if not for the Silver Dragon King's unresolved injuries, they would have launched the beast tide long ago!
Hearing this, Gu Yue felt a wave of headache coming on.
In her previous life, the relationship between humans and soul beasts had ultimately eased, allowing coexistence.
But in this life, that relationship remained unchanged.
"I already have an idea regarding this matter. You need not be anxious."
"I will go to the human world. Continue cultivating… After I return, we will make a decision."
Gu Yue spoke expressionlessly.
With their current strength, was invading the human world truly feasible?
Putting aside whether they could win, it was not what Gu Yue wished to see.
"???"
The fierce beasts were filled with confusion. They wished to ask more, but the Silver Dragon King had already vanished.
"What is going on with Her Majesty?"
"Why is she going to the human world?"
They looked at each other in puzzlement.
"Since Her Majesty told us to continue cultivating, then we shall continue cultivating."
Di Tian scanned the group, especially looking at Xiong Jun.
Among them, Xiong Jun was the most restless.
Xiong Jun's eye twitched. Without a word, he returned to his position.
Was Di Tian really guarding against him like a thief?
The fierce beasts likewise returned to their places and resumed cultivation.
After leaving the Lake of Life, Gu Yue transformed into human form and flew toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
She was going to find Wang Li…
If she could find him earlier, perhaps she could resolve the conflict between soul beasts and humans ahead of time.
Of course, the most important reason was simple—
She missed him.
T/N: This will be the final chapter of this fanfiction. Starting tomorrow, I plan to focus on Zhu Zhuqing's fanfiction instead.
