Chapter 244: Gu Yuena: I Hereby Declare That I Did Not Inherit the Dragon God's Wisdom
"What a pity. I didn't cultivate diligently in the past. Otherwise, I'd be a god by now and could join Sister Bo Saixi in teaching Tang San a lesson."
Qian Renxue sighed regretfully.
Two and a half years ago, she had only been a Soul Emperor.
Even after two and a half years of cultivation, with the assistance of the Angel God Trials, her cultivation had only barely reached the Titled Douluo realm. She was still quite some distance away from becoming a god.
"By the way, Ah Yuan, aren't you about to break through to the realm of the Supreme God King?"
"Once you break through, do me a small favor."
"When it's done, I'll reward you properly."
At that moment, Gu Yuena stepped forward and wrapped herself around Yun Yuan's arm. Her ample chest continuously rubbed against his arm as she acted coquettishly.
Her eyes were filled with anticipation.
She had waited for this day for who knew how long.
Hearing Gu Yuena's words, Ah Yin, the Snow Empress, and the Ice Empress all turned their gazes toward Yun Yuan.
They had already guessed what the "small favor" Gu Yuena was referring to was.
Yun Yuan gently rubbed Gu Yuena's head and swept his tender gaze over Ah Yin and the other three women beside him.
"Don't worry, I'll abolish the rule that soul beasts cannot become gods. Then I'll finally resolve this burden that's been weighing on your hearts."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena and the other three women beamed with excitement.
Gu Yuena, who was clinging to Yun Yuan's arm, became so delighted that she planted a firm kiss on his cheek.
"Ah Yuan, you're the best. When the time comes, the four of us sisters will serve you together and satisfy all your wishes."
The rule that soul beasts could not become gods had always been a thorn in her heart.
Before long, this restriction that bound the soul beast race would finally be broken.
By then, the situation of the soul beast race would gradually improve.
As the co-ruler of all soul beasts, how could she not be happy?
"Hehe, our soul beast race is finally about to rise again! Once this Empress becomes strong enough in the future, I'm definitely going to beat up those God Kings in the God Realm."
"They're the ones who made it so soul beasts can't become gods."
The Ice Empress waved her fists as she spoke happily.
With Yun Yuan around, the Ice Empress was confident that she would eventually surpass the God Kings of the God Realm.
As for why she held such deep resentment, during her cultivation, the Ice Empress had already endured three soul beast heavenly tribulations. Every single one had been so painful that she had screamed in agony.
In her heart, she was filled with hatred toward those human gods who had imposed the rule preventing soul beasts from becoming gods.
The Snow Empress and Ah Yin nodded in agreement after hearing the Ice Empress's words.
As soul beasts themselves and soul beasts with over a hundred thousand years of cultivation at that, they had all experienced heavenly tribulations to varying degrees and naturally harbored resentment toward the deities of the God Realm.
"Actually... you've misunderstood. The ones who established the rule preventing soul beasts from becoming gods weren't the God Kings of the Douluo God Realm."
Seeing the four women harbor such deep resentment toward Destruction and the other four God Kings, Yun Yuan, who knew the truth, felt it was necessary to correct their misunderstanding.
"It wasn't them?"
Gu Yuena was utterly confused.
Aside from the five God Kings of the God Realm, who else could possibly have established such a rule?
Ah Yin and the other two women, who had been filled with indignation, were also stunned.
Bo Saixi, Ye Qingxian, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue all looked at Yun Yuan curiously.
They were well aware of the grudge between Gu Yuena's group and the gods of the God Realm.
As good sisters, they had naturally stood by Gu Yuena and the others.
Once they became strong enough in the future, they had even planned to seek justice on behalf of them.
But now, it seemed there was another side to the story.
Yun Yuan glanced at Gu Yuena beside him. Recalling the Dragon God's actions, he could only reveal a helpless expression.
"Ah Yuan, why are you looking at me like that?"
Gu Yuena felt somewhat uncomfortable under his gaze.
"Na'er, the truth is... the rule that soul beasts cannot become gods was established by the Dragon God himself."
Yun Yuan slowly revealed the truth from those ancient years.
"Ah Yuan, are you joking with me? How could Lord Dragon God establish such a rule?"
Gu Yuena shook her head, clearly unwilling to believe Yun Yuan's words.
The Dragon God had been the leader of the soul beast race. How could he possibly create a rule that harmed his own people?
Ah Yin and the other three women also shook their heads, unable to believe what they had just heard.
"Let me tell you the story of how the soul beast race declined. It'll broaden your horizons."
Seeing that Gu Yuena and the others didn't believe him, Yun Yuan found it perfectly understandable.
After all, even in his previous life, he had been completely dumbfounded when he first read about it.
The Dragon God's actions had truly been incomprehensible.
Perhaps his own wisdom simply wasn't enough to understand the Dragon God's way of thinking.
To prevent the soul beast race from being bullied, he simply made it impossible for soul beasts to become gods.
What kind of astonishing wisdom did it take to come up with such a method?
It completely shattered the soul beast race's hope of revival and personally handed over their fate to the Douluo God Realm.
If the Dragon God hadn't been the leader of the soul beast race, Yun Yuan would have suspected he was an undercover traitor.
"Ooh, there's gossip! Sisters, hurry up and enjoy it."
At that moment, Ye Qingxian spoke. With a wave of her hand, she handed each of the women present a bag of melon seeds.
As the women happily cracked melon seeds,
Yun Yuan slowly began recounting the story of the soul beast race's downfall.
The Dragon Realm seeks to evolve into a Divine Star, the obstruction of the Cosmic Consciousness, the Dragon God losing his sanity and slaughtering the dragon race, and the establishment of the rule that soul beasts could not become gods.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Yuan finally finished his story.
The entire Atlas Hall fell completely silent.
No one uttered a single word.
Everyone's gaze turned toward Gu Yuena, who was still standing there in a daze.
Feeling everyone's eyes on her, Gu Yuena's cheeks flushed slightly as she asked,
"Why are you all staring at me?"
"Sister Na'er, didn't you always brag that you'd inherited the Dragon God's astonishing wisdom?"
"Now it seems that wisdom truly is astonishing."
The Ice Empress voiced exactly what was on her mind.
Even if she were beaten to death, she would never have imagined that the former leader of the soul beast race, the Dragon God, had made such unbelievable decisions.
The others all nodded in agreement.
Only now did they understand why Yun Yuan had looked at Gu Yuena with such a strange expression earlier.
"I hereby declare that I did not inherit the Dragon God's astonishing wisdom."
"I only inherited the Dragon God's elemental control. His astonishing wisdom and powerful physical body were inherited by the Golden Dragon King."
"Yes, that must be it."
Gu Yuena hurriedly distanced herself from anything related to inheriting the Dragon God's wisdom.
Had she known this would happen, she never would have spent all that time boasting about inheriting the Dragon God's wisdom.
Now, karma has come full circle. With the Dragon God's past exposed, she had become the clown.
But no one spoke.
They simply covered their mouths and laughed.
"What are you all laughing at? Stop laughing already."
Today, Gu Yuena felt that all the dignity she possessed as the co-ruler of the soul beast race had been completely lost.
If she ever got the chance, Gu Yuena would definitely beat up the Dragon God and make him understand just how wrong his way of thinking had been.
