Seeing Yu Tianqing's expression, Gu Yuena smiled tenderly and said again:
"Would 100,000 years be acceptable?"
"ah?"
Yu Tianqing was stunned, caught off guard by Gu Yuena's sudden words.
After a slight pause, Yu Tianqing asked:
"Your Excellency Silver Dragon King, what exactly do you mean?"
Gu Yuena didn't rush to answer Fu Yutianqing; instead, she smiled mysteriously and said:
"Come with me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yuena lightly touched the surface of the lake with her jade-like feet.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the once calm lake surface was suddenly churned up with thousands of waves, which parted to both sides, revealing a waterway that sloped straight down.
Then, Gu Yuena didn't linger and went out first.
Upon seeing this, Yu Tianqing frowned slightly, wondering what Gu Yuena was up to.
After pausing for a while, he didn't think much of it and then followed Gu Yuena.
Before long, Yu Tianqing, led by Gu Yuena, arrived at an underwater palace.
"Your Excellency Silver Dragon King, where are you taking me?"
Yu Tianqing asked curiously.
Gu Yuena smiled faintly and said, "Follow me."
Before long, Yu Tianqing followed Gu Yuena into a room.
As soon as the two entered, a pair of eyes immediately looked at them.
Yu Tianqing looked over and saw a woman sitting on the bed in the room.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, with long blue hair that reached her feet.
Her eyes were a brilliant gold, and her slender, delicate body was so perfect that even the word "perfect" couldn't adequately describe her captivating proportions.
In addition, the woman was surrounded by a sacred light.
Every ray of light, every curve, fits her perfectly.
Upon seeing Gu Yuena, the woman quickly stood up, bowed deeply, and said:
"Greetings, my lord!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman couldn't help but cough twice.
It was easy to see that she seemed extremely weak.
Yu Tianqing was filled with doubt upon seeing this scene.
I don't understand what Gu Yuena is trying to do.
Just then, Gu Yuena looked at the woman and said:
"Butterfly of Light, you caused irreversible damage to your origin when you underwent your tribulation."
Even with my intervention, I can only extend your life for a short period of time.
"When the time comes, you will still have no choice but to die."
Upon hearing Gu Yuena's words, a hint of sadness appeared in the eyes of the Goddess of Light Butterfly.
Although she survived a heavenly tribulation lasting 100,000 years, her very essence was severely damaged during the process.
Even with Gu Yuena's help, his life was still nearing its end.
"The Goddess of Light Butterfly?"
"A 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
"Gu Yuena wants to..."
Not far away, Yu Tianqing was deeply shaken after hearing what Gu Yuena said.
He was puzzled at first.
I don't understand what Gu Yuena meant by saying "can it be 100,000 years?"
Now I know.
This 100,000-year-old Goddess of Light butterfly was severely injured and would soon pass away.
Gu Yuena most likely wanted the Goddess of Light Butterfly to sacrifice herself for him!
Just as Yu Tianqing was in shock, Gu Yuena continued:
His name is Yu Tianqing.
"Although he is a human Soul Master, he possesses a dragon bloodline that is even more noble than mine."
"Butterfly of Light, are you willing to offer yourself as a sacrifice to him?"
As she spoke, Gu Yuena glanced at Yu Tianqing.
Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Light Butterfly also looked over at Yu Tianqing.
"A dragon bloodline even nobler than the Lord's?"
The Goddess of Light murmured, looking somewhat incredulous.
Gu Yuena nodded and murmured an "Mmm":
"That's right."
"If you choose to offer yourself as a sacrifice to him."
"When he becomes a god one day, that will be the time of your rebirth."
After hearing what Gu Yuena said, a resolute look flashed in the eyes of the Goddess of Light Butterfly.
She knew in her heart that she wouldn't live much longer.
If offered as a sacrifice to Yu Tianqing, there is a possibility of resurrection in the future.
After a slight pause, the Goddess of Light Butterfly spoke:
"Your subordinates are willing to offer sacrifices to him."
"It's my pleasure!"
Seeing that the Goddess of Light had agreed, Gu Yuena nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yu Tianqing:
"Now you understand what I meant by 100,000 years, right?"
Yu Tianqing was taken aback, his lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, the body of the Goddess of Light Butterfly began to change.
Upon closer inspection, the human figure vanished, replaced by the silhouette of a giant butterfly.
The butterfly has a pair of blue wings, the entire surface of which is like a bright halo inlaid in the blue sky, bringing light to the world.
Its shape and color are so unparalleled.
"Yu Tianqing, prepare to receive the sacrifice of the Goddess of Light Butterfly!"
Gu Yuena said with a serious expression.
Yu Tianqing took a deep breath and calmed his agitated mind.
Unexpectedly, the 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Goddess of Light Butterfly, agreed to sacrifice herself to her so quickly.
At the same time, the Goddess of Light Butterfly, which had transformed into a butterfly shadow, slowly unfolded its pair of seven-colored wings.
Its wings radiated a pure, crystal-clear light.
Immediately afterwards, its entire butterfly body began to glow brilliantly, then transformed into countless points of light, beautiful and sacred.
Soon, the Goddess of Light butterfly disappeared, leaving only a sky full of colorful lights.
The next moment, all the points of light flew down toward Yu Tianqing.
"Yu Tianqing, accept my sacrifice!"
The voice of the Goddess of Light Butterfly reached Yu Tianqing's ears.
Her voice was ethereal and gentle, with a hint of relief and anticipation.
Yu Tianqing closed his eyes, and three soul rings—one purple and two black—uncontrollably appeared.
Then, the points of light transformed from the Goddess of Light Butterfly began to rapidly gather and condense at Yu Tianqing's fourth soul ring.
Before long, a dazzling red halo suddenly appeared.
"Boom!"
A surge of immense energy coursed through the air, distorting even the space itself.
Then, Yu Tianqing's aura began to rise rapidly.
The soul power level directly increased from level 40 to level 45.
Feeling the increase in his own soul power and the formation of his fourth soul ring, Yu Tianqing was overjoyed.
Because the Goddess of Light, the butterfly, voluntarily offered herself to him.
Yu Tianqing did not encounter any obstacles when absorbing the spirit ring.
Before Yu Tianqing could react, a pair of wings slowly appeared in the air not far away.
"That's... an external soul bone?"
Yu Tianqing stared in astonishment, his face filled with disbelief.
It should be noted that this external soul bone is the most special and rarest type of soul bone.
It is a special existence besides the six major types of soul bones.
Its rarity is almost comparable to that of top-tier soul bones.
The most unique feature of external soul bones is that they evolve as their owner's soul power increases.
In addition, to absorb an external soul bone, one must first absorb the soul ring of the soul beast that dropped the soul bone.
Now that Yu Tianqing has absorbed the soul ring of the 100,000-year-old Goddess of Light Butterfly, absorbing this external soul bone is a natural progression.
"Don't just stand there! Absorb the outer soul bone of the Goddess of Light's Wings as well!"
Just as Yu Tianqing was in shock, Gu Yuena's voice came.
