Upon hearing that Gu Yuena was no longer in mortal danger, the Beast Kings immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, learning that Gu Yuena still wouldn't wake up so quickly, the Beast Kings were immediately troubled.
Di Tian looked at Qian Renshang, who had just entered Gu Yuena's room, his expression somewhat complicated.
"Qian Renshang has been like this for over ten years… doing nothing but cultivation and accompanying his master.
If this continues, I'm afraid something will happen to this child's mind."
Upon hearing Di Tian's words, Xiong Jun and the others immediately nodded in agreement.
Over the years, they had witnessed Qian Renshang's actions, and as Beast Kings, they were impressed by the child's perseverance.
This child truly possessed great willpower.
Moreover, due to the long-term blood transfusions, Qian Renshang was now much smaller than children of the same age.
"How can this child accompany the Lord... While it's good, if the Lord never wakes up, or has to sleep for a hundred years before waking, we can't let this child stay with the Lord forever."
The Crimson King suddenly spoke up.
He, who loved to play, actually had a very good relationship with Qian Renshang.
"What if the Lord wakes up in the future... and Qian Renshang is a decrepit old man?
What will we do then?"
"Hiss... Crimson King, you're right, that's indeed a problem.
Human lifespan is still too short."
"So... what should we do?"
The Beast Kings looked solemn.
Over the years, Qian Renshang had become one of them, so they subconsciously considered his situation.
Now that Gu Yuena's life was safe, having Qian Renshang stay with her all the time wasn't a solution.
"Do you remember what I said before?"
Di Tian suddenly asked, leaving Xiong Jun and the others somewhat bewildered.
"You... what did you say?"
Di Tian was speechless. He took a deep breath and said calmly.
"I said we should let this child become a god... Human lifespan is indeed too short, but becoming a god is different.
Our lord may need this child's help in the future!"
Become a god!
At this topic, everyone immediately became excited, after all, their shared ambition was to become a god.
However, it was an ironclad rule that soul beasts could not become gods!
Gu Yuena was a special case, but she was a former god, unlike them.
"Our soul beast habitat has no divine lineage... so, that child..."
Di Tian took a deep breath.
"He should leave us... The human world is his domain!"
"Only when he goes there will he have any hope of becoming a god!!"
That's right!
This was Di Tian's idea. I, Qian Renshang, have stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for too long, so long that I'm almost detached from the human world.
This is definitely not acceptable, after all, as soul beasts, they can no longer teach Qian Renshang anything.
Only when he goes to the human world can he learn new things, and perhaps even become a god.
The beast kings nodded, feeling that what Di Tian said made perfect sense.
Without much hesitation, they quickly found Qian Renshang and brought up the idea.
"What...you want me to leave the Star Dou Great Forest!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renshang's expression changed drastically, his face filled with reluctance.
"No, I want to stay here...I want to stay with Sister Nana, and with everyone...because..."
Qian Renshang looked at Di Tian and the others sadly,
"You are my only friends...and the only ones who care about me."
From the age of three to twenty-two, Qian Renshang had completely come to regard the Beast Kings as family, and the Beast Kings felt the same way.
"Hiss...or maybe you can stay. I'm also a little reluctant to part with this kid, Qian Renshang."
Xiong Jun scratched his head, feeling a toothache.
Di Tian immediately glared at him, and he said firmly,
"No, Qian Renshang must leave..."
"Why? Sister Nana hasn't woken up yet...how can I leave?"
Qian Renshang asked, puzzled.
Di Tian explained with a serious face, deciding to use Gu Yuena as a starting point.
Di Tian looked at Qian Renshang.
"Do you want to stay with your sister Nana forever?"
"Yes!"
Qian Renshang answered almost instantly.
"I want to protect sister Nana forever..."
His eyes shone as he spoke.
"Good lad..."
Di Tian smiled slightly,
"If you want to protect your sister Nana forever, you should leave here even more... after all, you are human."
Di Tian then told Qian Renshang about his idea of becoming a god.
Qian Renshang's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he fell silent.
What Di Tian said really made sense.
A human body couldn't accompany sister Nana forever; only becoming a god could save him!
"Moreover, the Lord once told me that she was very interested in the current human world... and even wanted to see it, but something unexpected happened that disrupted her plans."
"You can go and experience the human world in place of your sister Nana.
When she wakes up... you can also better guide her through the human world."
Di Tian suddenly added, and Qian Renshang felt that this made even more sense.
And so!
Qian Renshang nodded in agreement, excitedly saying,
"Okay... I'm going to the human world to help Sister Nana experience the wonders of life.
After she wakes up, I'll take her all over the world!"
Di Tian and the others smiled with satisfaction.
Night slowly fell!
Qian Renshang quickly returned to Gu Yuena's room, looking at the silver-haired girl lying on the bed.
Qian Renshang smiled gently.
"Sister Nana... I might have to go first.
I'm going to the human world to experience the wonders of life for you..."
That night, Qian Renshang talked a lot, because he might not see Gu Yuena for a long time.
He... was really reluctant to leave!
Drip! Drip!
Crystalline tears streamed down his face, Qian Renshang's face full of sorrow.
His original plan was to wait for Gu Yuena to wake up, but Di Tian's words reminded him that as a human, he could only accompany Gu Yuena for a very short time.
The thought that his lifespan might end and he would never see Gu Yuena again caused a huge pang of pain in Qian Renshang's heart.
He seemed to be growing increasingly greedy; he not only wanted to accompany Gu Yuena for a hundred years, he wanted it to be longer… even forever.
He seemed to have developed a different kind of affection for his sister Nana.
"Sister Nana… I… I miss you!"
"If you wake up one day, remember to come find me… I…"
Qian Renshang gazed at Gu Yuena's exquisite profile, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
He murmured in an extremely soft voice,
"I will wait for you… until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble."
Qian Renshang said many things to Gu Yuena, and finally, gazing at her profile, he mumbled a few words before speaking.
Afterward,Qian Renshang's face flushed crimson, but unfortunately, no one knew what he had said last.
This night was destined to be long, and what Qian Renshang didn't know was that the silver-haired girl lying on the bed, upon hearing his last words, had her ears involuntarily turn red for a moment.
Her fingers trembled slightly.
