Chapter 481 Gu Yue: Answer me, Huo Yuhao! Who exactly is Gu Yuena?
The Blood God Formation, which had been forcibly interrupted, resumed operation in an instant.
The radiance of the primordial spirits of heaven and earth reconverged, transforming into a nine-colored halo. Enveloping the power of heaven and earth that the plane's consciousness had suppressed for so long, it fiercely swept towards the fleeing core of the abyss.
Amidst a piercing scream, the Abyss Core couldn't even hold out for half a second before shattering completely into incredibly pure Abyss energy.
Under Yali's guidance, that energy continuously merged into the illusory image of the ancient tree of life.
The ancient tree of life on Devil's Island received this unimaginable nourishment and began to grow wildly at a visible speed.
The breath of life spread like a vast ocean, and the seawater within several kilometers of Devil Island turned directly turquoise.
If you look down from the sky at this moment, the entire Devil Island shines like a dazzling emerald embedded in the ocean.
As the Blood God Formation continued to operate, not only did the aura of the Abyss Saint King dissipate completely, but the Abyss army that followed him also perished in the face of the formation's power.
The seal, which had been corrupted and damaged by the abyss's aura, began to be re-engraved under the wash of the nine-colored halo, until it completely sealed off the abyss vortex at the end of the abyss passage, making it impossible for any abyss's aura to penetrate again.
Thus, this abyssal invasion crisis, which could be said to far surpass the catastrophe of more than 6,000 years ago, seems to have come to a complete end.
As the last rays of light faded, the surviving Blood God Legion soldiers stood frozen for a moment before bursting into tears.
The cries were not only tears shed for successfully protecting the Douluo plane, but also mournful cries for the thousands of compatriots who perished under the claws of abyssal creatures, leaving not even a trace of their remains.
Huo Yuhao and Ya Li exchanged a glance, and after receiving a nod from the white-haired boy, Ya Li gracefully took a step forward.
A gentle voice drifted on the breeze, softly ringing in the ears of every soldier in the Blood God Legion.
"Those who carry firewood for the masses should not freeze to death in the wind and snow. Heroes who sacrifice their lives to defend their homes should not end up shedding blood and tears."
A soft, green-gold halo rippled out from the canopy of the enormous ancient tree of life, like a spring rain sprinkling on the earth.
One by one, specks of light drifted down from mid-air, and when they landed on the ground, they transformed into the Blood God Legion members who had perished in the attack of the Abyss Army.
Even Xue Liu, whose mind was bound by the restrictions left by the Tang Sect, causing the Blood God Formation to fail to activate at the critical moment, was also resurrected.
As pure life energy flowed, the auras of the Blood God Legion members became more refined, and the various wounds remaining on their bodies healed at a visible speed.
After a while, a thunderous cheer erupted from the Blood God Legion, soaring into the sky.
"Long live the Goddess of Life! Long live the God of Destruction!"
The newly resurrected individuals were clearly still somewhat dazed from waking up.
They looked around, somewhat bewildered, thinking that what they were seeing was the afterlife.
Soon, they were taken aback by the cheers around them. Some even rubbed their eyes and looked at their comrades in disbelief.
"Old Li, what are you doing here? Did you also die under the claws of those monsters?"
"And isn't that Her Holiness the Holy Spirit? Why are you calling her the Goddess of Life? And who is that white-haired boy standing next to her?"
"Old Zhang, you little rascal—"
Looking at the crowd below, who were explaining to their resurrected comrades while cheering and celebrating loudly, Huo Yuhao didn't care too much that the Blood God Legion's soldiers directly identified him as the God of Destruction because of the Abyss Saint King's initial words.
What he cares about more now, or rather, what makes him panic, is Gu Yue, who hasn't made a sound in a long time.
Just like the calm before a storm, Huo Yuhao couldn't imagine what crazy things Gu Yue would do after learning the part of the truth he had deliberately concealed.
Ya Li also noticed Huo Yuhao's abnormal expression.
After a moment's thought, it became clear what he was worried about.
Gu Yue, this little girl, wouldn't really want to be ungrateful and give her little man a hard time, would she?
After a burst of frenzied cheers that seemed to pierce the sky, the soldiers of the Blood God Legion, led by the reawakened Zhang Huanyun and the nine Blood Gods, began to carry out post-battle rest and reconstruction of the defense line in an orderly manner.
After handing over some of the finishing touches, Huo Yuhao and the others returned to their guest rooms at the Blood God Legion's base.
As soon as Huo Yuhao stepped into the room, Nanali closed the door, completely isolating him from the outside world. A dazzling silver-white halo immediately detached from Huo Yuhao's body and gradually manifested as Gu Yue's figure not far away.
Although Gu Yue usually carried a somewhat aloof air, her delicate face was now completely cold and frosty.
Those dark, star-like eyes were like unyielding ice, staring intently at the white-haired boy before them, as if trying to see through his every thought.
However, after Ya Li and Gu Yue successively broke out of their Martial Soul Fusion state, the Destruction Godhead, which had been suppressed, once again surged with a large amount of negative emotions, constantly impacting Huo Yuhao's consciousness.
In addition, he also bore the brunt of the backlash from the Martial Soul Fusion Skill that exceeded his own limits. Huo Yuhao's face turned deathly pale, and he began to sway uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Ya Li and Yuan En Ye Hui, who were quick-witted and agile, hurriedly helped Huo Yuhao sit down from both sides.
However, Yuanen Yehui was still startled when she noticed Gu Yue staring at Huo Yuhao with such a cold expression. She asked, somewhat puzzled, "Gu Yue, what's wrong with you? Everyone worked together to repel the Abyss Plane with great difficulty. Shouldn't this be a time to celebrate?"
"We should be happy."
Gu Yue coldly uttered a few words: "That's why I held back and didn't lose my temper in front of outsiders, giving him enough face."
Since everyone in the room is family, I won't beat around the bush and will just ask directly.
Gu Yue's voice was soft, yet powerful, as if striking straight to the heart.
"Huo Yuhao, tell me, who exactly is Gu Yuena?"
"Huh?" Yuan En Hui was even more confused. "Isn't Gu Yue Na your sister, Gu Yue? —"
However, before she could finish speaking, Gu Yue irritably waved her hand to interrupt her.
"Yuan En, don't interrupt. This matter is far more complicated than you think, and it has nothing to do with you. It's between him and me."
Gu Yue once again fixed her icy gaze on the frail boy.
"Answer me, Huo Yuhao! Who exactly is Gu Yuena?"
But seeing Huo Yuhao's haggard and pale face, Gu Yue couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
But she still forced herself to maintain a tough stance.
After all, the truth of this matter was too important to her, as it concerned her long-held beliefs and the future fate of the entire soul beast race.
Faced with such a major issue of right and wrong, how could she be swayed by her personal emotions or even private feelings?
Gu Yue stared directly into Huo Yuhao's eyes and coldly added, "You should understand that I am not as easily fooled as I was when I first woke up. My current level of mental strength is enough to judge whether every word you say is true or false."
So don't try to keep lying to me, don't try to get away with sweet talk, and don't say anything like "I'm sorry." I hate apologies after the fact.
For a moment, the entire room became quiet, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, and everyone had different thoughts.
Tang Wutong, who had been listless and silently following Huo Yuhao into the room with her head down ever since she saw Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue's martial souls merge, suddenly became excited.
She couldn't help but fantasize, hoping that Gu Yue would continue to be so aggressive, and preferably cause a big scene to make Huo Yuhao completely disgusted.
Wouldn't this logically eliminate a powerful competitor who could fuse with Huo Yuhao's martial soul?
Ya Li sighed softly, her heart aching as she looked at Huo Yuhao's swaying figure. She said, "Gu Yue, Yuhao's condition is really bad right now. Gu Yuena told me some of the truth about this before, so I'll tell you—"
"Sister Yali, it's okay, I'll handle this myself."
Huo Yuhao forced himself to stay focused, suppressing the piercing pain in his mind. With some difficulty, he raised his hand and took out the silver dragon scale he always wore around his neck. He said softly, "During the Martial Soul Fusion, you should have noticed the information I concealed. There are some things I really should tell you. Gu Yuena is not the Golden Dragon King as we previously claimed."
She is you, or rather, she is you in another universe, in another timeline.
The news struck like a thunderclap, leaving the others present somewhat stunned.
Even though Gu Yue had already guessed, now that she had received Huo Yuhao's affirmative and straightforward answer, the cold expression she had been maintaining finally crumbled.
According to Huo Yuhao's words, the Silver Dragon King from another universe actually came and seized the Golden Dragon King bloodline that should have belonged to him.
These two even conspired together to cheat this honest dragon.
Does Gu Yuena still have any dignity or demeanor as the ruler of all soul beasts?
It seems that all that guy can think about is his indescribable erotic fantasies about Huo Yuhao!
Just thinking about how that guy shamelessly called Huo Yuhao "my dear husband" all the time made Gu Yue feel goosebumps all over her body.
Suppressing the almost overflowing urge to complain, Gu Yue once again put on a stern face and asked, "No wonder. I was just saying that although you have extremely pure Dragon God bloodline in your body, I always felt a bit uncomfortable when you were doing the Martial Soul Fusion just now."
I was so young and naive back then, so easily believing your nonsense without even doing any basic verification. Now it seems you haven't actually been to the Dragon Tomb of this world?
"When Yuena and I spoke with you back then, we hadn't actually been there yet due to various reasons."
Seeing that Gu Yue did not devour the Golden Dragon King's bloodline within him without any regard for the truth, as he had always worried and imagined, but instead was able to talk to him so calmly.
Huo Yuhao subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and continued to truthfully explain: "But as you sensed just now, before this, in order to break the special martial soul fusion state between me and Sister Yali..."
We first visited the two god-kings, Destruction and Life, on Devil's Island, but failed to obtain an effective solution from them. After that, Yali and I went to the Dragon Tomb to visit the remnant soul of the Dragon God.
"What about the Dragon God Core? Did you go to the Dragon Tomb but fail to obtain the Dragon God Core? Or perhaps, what did the remnant soul of the Dragon God say to you after seeing your unusual situation?"
Gu Yue pressed for an answer, as this was the question she was most concerned about.
Although Huo Yuhao has the complete remains of the Dragon God, the core of the Dragon God, whether from another universe or this universe, is undoubtedly not present in Huo Yuhao's body.
It can be said that the Dragon God Core is the purest source of power left behind by the Dragon God, and it is also the key to unlocking the Dragon God's divine position.
The mutual devouring of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings can only give birth to the bloodline of the Dragon God. However, to truly obtain the position of the Dragon God, one must gain the approval of the core of the Dragon God.
This is one of the main reasons why Gu Yue has been able to suppress her anger and remain calm and composed after learning that she had been deceived.
Upon hearing Gu Yue's barrage of questions, Huo Yuhao subconsciously scratched his cheek, his gaze becoming increasingly unfocused, and he dared not meet Gu Yue's eyes for even a moment.
"We—we simply had a brief conversation with the Dragon God about a solution. As for that solution, you just experienced it firsthand."
As long as we fuse our martial souls and use the power of the Dragon God to counteract each other, we can naturally free Sister Yali from my body.
As for other matters, he only briefly recounted some old stories about the true cause of the destruction of the Divine Dragon Realm, which weren't particularly important anyway.
"Heh, Huo Yuhao, you think I'm easy to fool, don't you?"
Gu Yue's clear and ethereal voice suddenly rose a few decibels.
"As I just said, with my current mental state, I can clearly distinguish the truth from falsehood in your words. Why are you still trying to lie to me at a time like this?"
Is there something, just like Gu Yuena's true identity, that I absolutely must not know?
Huo Yuhao froze completely, and cold sweat even began to appear on his forehead.
Although he also detests lies, in this situation, a white lie should be very necessary, right?
If Gu Yue were to find out about the outrageous plan that the old dragon god had given, that would be a truly unmanageable situation.
