Exposed, Gu Yuena immediately turned her body, "Di Tian, what are you talking about... you must be seeing things!"
How could she possibly be happy because of Wulin's failure to break through!!
Di Tian was somewhat helpless but did not continue to argue...
"Speaking of which, Lord, you should also be breaking through to God Rank recently, right?"
Gu Yuena's expression instantly solidified, clenching her fists, "Hmm... without attaining godhood, breaking through to God Rank is as hard as reaching the sky!"
If Teacher Xu were still here, this matter wouldn't be a problem at all!
Unfortunately, his whereabouts are now unknown, and whether he is still alive is uncertain!
Di Tian seemed to understand the implication in her words, "Lord, isn't there another way to obtain godhood? Or is it that we soul beasts have long been deprived of the possibility of breaking through to God Rank by those in the Upper Realm!"
Gu Yuena sighed and shook her head, "As of now, I can't find a way to attain godhood, unless... my power becomes strong enough to create a self-created divine position, without attracting the attention of those in the Divine Realm!"
Just like that Abyssal Emperor, only after becoming powerful enough to break through to the Divine King Level did he choose to reveal himself!
If it weren't for Teacher Xu's intervention, even the Sea God would have been slain by him!!
Di Tian saw that her expression showed a hint of discouragement and hurriedly said, "Lord, you are the noble incarnation of the Silver Dragon King, and your rate of growth in power is bound to far surpass ours!"
"As long as there is enough time, I believe you can definitely attain the strength to create your own divine position!"
Gu Yuena's silver eyes flickered, "Of course I know that, but there may not be enough time for me to grow to that level!"
At this moment, Bi Ji stepped in...
Seeing that the two were talking, she interrupted, "Lord, I have something to report!"
Di Tian, who was interrupted, merely pursed his lips, as if he still had something to say, but swallowed his words...
"Well then, I shall take my leave!"
After speaking, he nodded slightly to Bi Ji and left...
Seeing this, Bi Ji was a bit puzzled, "Lord, were you discussing something very important with Di Tian just now?"
Did I come at a bad time?
Gu Yuena shook her head, "No, it was nothing important!"
"Bi Ji, what is it?"
Bi Ji snapped back to attention and said, "Lord, after continuous research by the Spirit Pagoda's researchers, the newly created soul beasts seem to possess greater wisdom than previous soul beasts!"
Gu Yuena's furrowed brow relaxed a bit, "Hmm, this is a good thing. Without wisdom, they wouldn't be our kin but mere puppets!"
Bi Ji paused and continued, "However, the issue of reproduction remains unsolved!
Gu Yuena had anticipated this outcome and was not overly surprised, "Indeed, still unsolved..."
The real trouble lies in how to imbue these soul beasts with the ability to reproduce!
Bi Ji watched her expression, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke her mind, "Lord, I believe... giving them the ability to reproduce might be impossible!"
"Perhaps we should stop this line of research?"
"As long as we can create enough soul beasts with wisdom, our clan can, in some sense, regain a foothold in this world!"
She also dearly wanted these created soul beasts to have the ability to reproduce like real soul beasts, but the possibility was very slim!
Rather than wasting so many resources, it might be better to change the objective!
However, these words were met with vehement rejection by Gu Yuena, "No way!"
"Without reproductive abilities, if humans once again gain dominance over the continent, the inevitable fate of soul beasts will still be extinction!!"
"Isn't this something you understand better than anyone, Bi Ji?"
Compared to herself, the former had personally witnessed the decimation of the Soul Beast Clan!
Bi Ji fell silent...
"Sorry, Lord, I misspoke!"
...
Tang Sect!
Upon receiving the news, Liang Xiaoyu, with a joyful expression, found Zang Xin, "Sect Leader, we have new information about the ruins!"
The latter pouted calmly, "What important news could there be? It's probably just something the Spirit Pagoda casually mentioned, isn't it?"
Although the three major factions were researching together on the surface, any findings would definitely not be shared immediately!
Liang Xiaoyu shook his head, denying, "No, this information is very important, and it was personally ordered by Gu Yuena to be disclosed!"
This time, the Spirit Pagoda indeed did not conceal it from the other two major factions!
These words sparked Zang Xin's interest, "Oh? Let's hear it then!"
For Gu Yuena not to deliberately withhold information but instead to disclose it so openly,
it couldn't possibly be good news!
Seeing this, Liang Xiaoyu approached and whispered a few words...
After hearing it, Zang Xin's pupils noticeably widened...
He even drew a cold breath before sighing, "Hiss... if this news is true, it's really quite unbelievable!"
No wonder the Spirit Pagoda didn't deliberately hide it!
Liang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, "Sect Leader, now you know, don't you?"
Zang Xin turned his head and said, "Hmph, it seems that Gu Yuena still has some conscience. If such a thing were hidden, it would be bad for the entire continent!"
No wonder Tang Sect was willing to accept her as a disciple before!
Although she has been expelled from the sect now!
Liang Xiaoyu pursed his lips, regretfully saying, "Hey... that child Gu Yue is not inherently bad, it's just unfortunate that her true identity is not human. For the sake of the Soul Beast Clan, she cut off her past ties!"
If Gu Yuena had been willing to stay in the Tang Sect, who would be the next Sect Leader would have been uncertain!
After all, her talent is not inferior to Tang Wulin!
Hearing this, Zang Xin also reminisced...
A few faint hints of longing showed in his eyes...
"Yes, if only she weren't a soul beast!"
Liang Xiaoyu's eyes brightened, "Sect Leader, why don't we..."
But before he could finish, he had already revealed his thoughts...
Zang Xin decisively rejected, "Don't even think about it. Given the current situation, Gu Yuena would no longer consider from the human perspective but rather from the soul beast's standpoint!!!"
Restoring Gu Yuena's identity as a Tang Sect disciple at this point wouldn't just be self-appreciation, it might also provoke discontent among the disciples!
You should know, the Spirit Pagoda hasn't held back from secretly undermining our efforts!
Liang Xiaoyu awakened to reality, self-mockingly said, "Sect Leader, you're right, I was being nostalgic. Gu Yuena remains Gu Yuena, but she is no longer the Gu Yuena of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect!"
