The Legend of the Dragon King (Web Novel) - Chapter 1955: We Are Destined To Be Enemies

Chapter 1955 We Are Destined To Be Enemies Gu Yuena had obviously put on the ring given to her by Tang Wulin. Why did she do that?The person who was most shocked was Tang Wulin. He looked at Gu Yuena with an astonished gaze. He looked puzzled.

“Gu Yue, you…”

Gu Yuena’s eyes were brimming with tears. She gazed fixedly at Tang Wulin and muttered to herself, “If ever there’s a next life, I’ll surely be your wife. Tang Wulin, I love you. Haven’t you figured it out by now? We can’t possibly be together. From the moment I awoke, we were destined to be enemies.”

Tang Wulin looked at her in a daze. “Gu Yue, those things aren’t important! Naturally, I’ve figured that you can’t possibly be a human. I’m well aware of the abuses of mankind toward soul beasts. However, you’re Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master. You’re now in control of the spirit souls on the continent. Moreover, aren’t you breeding soul beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Platform which you built? You’ve achieved impressive results. The soul beasts will soon repopulate. We can’t revert what mankind had done in the past. However, I’ll assist you to safeguard the relationship between soul beasts and mankind in the future.”

Shock could be seen in Gu Yuena’s eyes. “So, it turns out you already know about it?”

Tang Wulin said with a bitter smile, “I’m not a fool. How can it be that I still haven’t figured out after all that has transpired? Actually, I was suspicious when you first told me about the story of the Dragon God. In fact, the connection between my father and I gave me an inkling of the truth. I learned about it when my father told me about the origins of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline in my body.”

“How can you possibly know about the mysteries of the Dragon God if you were an ordinary person? I looked up the ancient books and records in Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, but there was no mention of the Dragon God at all. The Spirit Pagoda was founded later than us. How could it possibly be recorded? However, I had my doubts at the time.”

“Nevertheless, we began to engage in the Dragon God Transformation. It was obviously the fusion of the two halves of the Dragon God. At the time, I actually came to a conclusion. Furthermore, I suspected that your goal of joining the Spirit Pagoda was certainly not as it seemed. Yet, those were all unimportant. You’ve never truly hurt mankind as I’ve been watching you closely all this time. Circumstances changed with the passage of time. We fought against the formidable enemies together and defeated the abyssal plane. You are mankind’s hero now. We’re currently at a place of authority on the Douluo Continent. If you’re willing, I’ll surely help you build a home for the soul beasts. Together, we’ll safeguard and maintain an ecological balance.”

Gu Yuena was stunned for a moment upon hearing Tang Wulin’s statement. By then, the tears in her eyes had dried up.

“So, it turns out that you really were aware of it all this while.” The corner of her lips curved into a bitter smile.

Tang Wulin was growing impatient. He felt uneasy upon seeing Gu Yuena’s expression.

“Gu Yue, you…”

Gu Yue waved her hand to dismiss Tang Wulin. “Listen to me.”

“If the enmity of exterminating a clan can really be resolved just as you said, then I won’t be in so much pain anymore because of it. You’re right. I’m precisely the Silver Dragon King transformed from the Dragon God after he was cut by the Xiu Lo God’s sword. I’m also the one who escaped the Divine Realm in the past.”

“I was severely injured at the time, so I fled to the Douluo Continent to evade the Divine Realm’s pursuit. At the time, the Great Star Dou Forest was just an inconspicuous tiny forest. In fact, mankind had just emerged in the world at the same time.”

“I was in a deep sleep for many years. Due to the effect of the plane, I had no choice but to dissipate my god power and fused myself with the Great Star Dou Forest. In turn, the life forms in the Great Star Dou Forest multiplied and grew gradually. As a result, the biggest soul beast forest on the continent was created, and many soul beasts came to life. In a sense, all the soul beasts in the Great Star Dou Forest were my subjects.”

“I discovered that my subjects were being slaughtered by mankind almost to the point of extinction when I awoke from my deep sleep. Thousands of soul beasts were killed! They were living creatures which were an integral part of the ecological balance too. At any rate, mankind hunted and killed them out of selfish reasons just so they could become powerful soul masters. Some were killed for no reason. In fact, the Great Star Dou Forest was plundered by mankind until it almost ceased to exist.”

“The soul beasts that survived were scarce in number. Many soul beasts were killed until not even a life seed remained. I couldn’t even resurrect their clans using the Ten Thousand Beast Platform afterward. How many of our soul beasts’ clans were destroyed by mankind? Will the enmity be resolved just by a simple statement of yours to provide living space for them in the future?”

“From mankind’s point of view, our soul beasts have become your resources since earlier. Your soul devices are developed to an advanced stage, and you have even created spirit souls. Why would you still exterminate our soul beasts although you possess the manmade spirit souls? Even the surviving soul beasts are reared in pens by the Spirit Pagoda.”

“Mankind’s malice has caused the near extinction of the soul beasts. It’s your greed that has led to an imbalance in the world. Even the Divine Realm cares for mankind only. Has it ever empathize with our soul beasts? Your father was truly an almighty of his time. He lived up to his reputation of being the leader of the God Kings. He drafted a great plan ten thousand years ago to surprisingly devour another plan and neutralized the threat on the Douluo Continent. I admire him for that, but I was also very surprised. His plan was meant to help mankind. But, did he ever consider the soul beasts? The world will be imbalanced when the soul beasts cease to exist. Henceforth, the Douluo Continent will certainly decline too.”

“I drafted a plan after I learned of this upon waking up. Our power was still lacking for me to defeat mankind since I was no longer a Godhood at the time. Thus, we integrated into your world to learn more about mankind so as to find out your weakness in order to seek revenge and destroy you. As a result, Na’er came. Na’er’s existence was to help us understand mankind better.

At this point, Gu Yuena paused. Her eyes were filled with enmity. Yet, there was also tremendous agony in her enmity.

“However, much to my surprise, I did not lose to mankind but to human emotions instead. The first thing that dawned upon me after becoming a human was to discover that I’m affected by human emotions. Na’er fell in love with you. At the same time, I was inextricably involved as the result of a bet between us. Na’er and I haven’t fully fused yet. Her shadow still exists to a certain extent. As a god of the soul beasts, I’m supposed to lead the soul beasts to seek revenge on you. Heaven forbid, I fell in love with you.”

At this point, tears poured out uncontrollably from her beautiful eyes. “However, Tang Wulin, you should realize that our relationship can’t possibly last. From the moment I awoke, I was with the opposing side completely. On the other hand, you’re mankind’s hero. We both represent separate people, and we’re both creatures standing at the apex. Thus, we’re not destined to be a married couple but enemies instead!”

Gu Yuena raised her right hand. A dazzling, silver light ray shimmered. It was precisely her Silver Dragon Spear. The Silver Dragon Spear was swept horizontally across in front of her body. It transformed into a ray of dazzling silver radiance. The gigantic silver radiance was thousands of meters in length. All the wild flowers in front of her, even the blooming roses on the ground fell into the huge ravine which was carved out instantly by the spear’s radiance.

“From this moment on, our ties are broken. We can only be foes!”
