Chapter 1946 - I Missed You

1946 I Missed You

The Eternal Tree’s rich life source furtively nourished the entire planet. With her Divine Origin spiritual cultivation base, Gu Yuena vaguely felt the entire planet glowing with vitality.

The planet which was in decline initially was now flourishing toward a better future.

Someone knocked on her door. The slovenly footsteps could be heard coming and came to a halt just outside her door soon after.

Gu Yuena had a calm gaze. She looked as if she had known all this since earlier. She spoke in a deep voice, “Come in.”

The door opened. A line of people walked into the room from the outside.

The frontmost person was dressed in black attire with long hair parted in the center and a lock of golden hair. He was Di Tian. All the others who followed behind came in different shapes and sizes. At any rate, all of them emitted an exceedingly strong aura.

Di Tian’s eyes were glimmering with a determined glint. He made his way to the back of Gu Yuena slowly and got down on one knee. “Your Highness.”

The rest of the people followed suit and got down on their knees.

Gu Yuena did not turn around. Her eyes remained fixated on the scenery outside the window.

Di Tian clenched his teeth and said in a deep voice, “Your Highness, we are here to bid you farewell.”

“Bid farewell? Where are you going?” asked Gu Yuena indifferently as she turned around slowly and looked at Di Tian.

The Beast God Di Tian’s eyes glimmered. “Your Highness, although I don’t understand why, you didn’t make any move on Tang Wulin over these years. Perhaps, you already have human sentiments. However, we don’t feel the same way. Mankind destroyed our homes and slaughtered our clansmen such that we were almost on the brink of extinction. We can’t make you change your mind, Your Highness. Tang Wulin has already achieved unparalleled attainments by now. All we can do is to take him down by sacrificing our lives.”

Gu Yuena said indifferently, “So you’re going to head to Shrek Academy and challenge him?”

Di Tian said in a deep voice, “Yes, Your Highness. I really didn’t expect you to actually have human sentiments. But, have you forgotten how our thousands of clansmen died in the past? Not only our Dragon Clan, but all the soul beasts too. We’ve been waiting patiently for so many years hoping that you’ll lead us to be the masters of this world once again. In the end, you made such a decision. Although I don’t wish to offend you, I really can’t accept it. Your Highness, either you bestow death upon me or grant me the permission to put in one last effort for all the soul beasts. Even if I seek my own doom, I’ll spare no effort in doing so.”

“Goodbye, Your Highness!” said Di Tian suddenly with a stern voice. He then knelt on both knees to worship Gu Yuena.

All the beasts behind him followed suit.

Gu Yuena looked at them, but she did not speak.

Di Tian stood up abruptly after realizing that she did not respond. He turned around and walked to the outside determinedly.

The rest of the beasts reacted similarly. They got up in succession and left.

The Beast God Di Tian had urged Gu Yuena repeatedly on many occasions. In fact, he even took it upon himself to assassinate Tang Wulin in the past. Nevertheless, he was stopped by Gu Yuena.

They were still hopeful all this while when Gu Yuena told them that everything was going according to plan.

Yet, time passed day after day. They witnessed Tang Wulin making his breakthrough to the god rank. They finally felt hopeless when they saw Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena fighting hand in hand together.

They no longer had any hope as they watched Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin becoming intimate with each other.

What else could they do? Other than feeling despair, there was nothing else they could do.

“Stop.” An icy cold voice was heard when the Beast God Di Tian was about to step out from the door.

Di Tian stopped walking. He turned around, looked toward Gu Yuena and said in a rather cold tone, “Is there anything else, Your Highness?”

Gu Yuena remained at the same spot and said indifferently, “From the moment I woke up in the core area of the Great Star Dou Forest, I was destined to be mankind’s enemy. I admit that I’m in love with Tang Wulin. I feel mankind’s love. In fact, I’m inextricably in love with him. However, I’ve never forgotten that I’m a part of the Dragon God. I’m your Highness and I’m the leader of thousands of soul beasts.”

“I love Tang Wulin. However, we are not destined to be together. The blood of the Dragon God flows in my veins, not a human’s. Therefore, I bear the responsibilities of the Dragon Clan’s mission.”

“The moment I received the Dragon God’s core, I already sensed it. There was a gush of invisible pressure which existed in the unknown world. It controlled the entire world. I slowly grew stronger. In fact, I didn’t even have the courage to make the real breakthrough, because I felt the suppression from the invisible force.”

“Actually, all of you’ve felt it too. The abyssal plane arrived and the abyssal Sage King who was more powerful than me was exterminated by Tang San, akin to crushing an ant, at the end. As a matter of fact, even the entire abyssal was devoured soon after. Now, can you please tell me had I been the person on the opposite side of Tang Wulin, do you think I would be able to kill him?”

The numerous beasts were stunned by her remarks.

Gu Yuena continued to speak, “The lord of the plane is his grandfather, the life core is his grandmother, and even his father was the God King once. Perhaps, it’s precisely because of these qualities of his that I’m attracted to him. However, we are not destined to be together just as I mentioned earlier. We are separated by a ditch that can’t be crossed. There’s the Golden Dragon King Bloodline inside his body, but he’s still a human after all. On the other hand, I’m a beast. The moat of heaven between a man and a beast can’t be crossed on the Douluo Continent.”

“I’ve been waiting all this while for the ideal time. I’m waiting for the unseen pressure to disappear. The abyssal Sage King helped us locate the path and endure all the traps laid down by the God King. It has allowed us to see the reality of this world. Now that the God King has disappeared without a trace, and the lord of the plane is in a deep sleep to recuperate, while the life core is similarly in a deep sleep to absorb nourishment, our time has come. It’s also time for us to carry out the plan.”

The Beast God was stunned, so was the Bear Lord, while the Thousand Demon King’s mouth widened in surprise. The Jade Swan had a look of incredulity at the same time the Darkness Demon Dragon’s pupils constricted.

The numerous beasts were all stunned speechless.

The Beast God was the first to recover from the surprise. He made his way to Gu Yuena with a long stride. “Thump.” He knelt on the ground and touched his forehead to the ground. “Your Highness, we’re wrong. We shouldn’t have doubted you.”

The rest of the beasts knelt behind him in a rush to worship Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena’s gaze remained as calm as before. There was a faint glint of bitterness diffusing from her eyes. She heaved a soft sigh. “What is bound to come will come. Have you wronged? Perhaps not. It’s my responsibility and I’ll still need to account for this responsibility anyhow. My plan is about to begin at last.”

“Beep, beep, beep.” A crisp sound was heard which broke the momentary silence.

Gu Yuena lowered her head and looked toward the soul communicator on her wrist. Her charming face was no longer calm. In any case, she expressed a dash of gentleness.

She waved her hand to dismiss the crowd. Di Tian and the rest of the beasts stood up hastily and dispersed.

Gu Yuena picked up the communicator. She turned around and looked toward the direction of the Eternal Heaven in the distance.

“What is it?” asked Gu Yuena softly.

“Nothing! I missed you.” The voice from the other end of the communicator was obviously filled with joy.

“I thought we just met yesterday?” said Gu Yuena who was slightly astonished.

“Gu Yue, I love you.” The voice from the other end was suddenly filled with earnesty.

Gu Yuena’s eyes became moist instantly. Her tone remained normal as before. “Why do you have to say that every day?”
