Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1772: Gu Yuena's Plan?



Chapter 1772: Gu Yuena’s Plan?

Gu Yuena was seated on the couch with her eyes closed, but judging from her occasionally fluttering eyelashes, it was clear that she wasn’t sleeping or meditating. Instead, she seemed to be in deep thought about something.

There were several other people seated beside her, one of which was a man with a head of long black hair, punctuated by a single thin line of golden hair.

This man wore a pair of senior colonel epaulets, and he was accompanied by several other figures of different descriptions.

“My Lord, are we really going to help the humans combat the abyss?” the black-haired man asked.

Gu Yuena’s eyes remained shut as she replied, “We have no choice. If the Douluo Continent ceases to exist, where will we reside? I’ve come into contact with the abyssal plane in the past, and those abyssal creatures are extremely formidable. They’re 100 times more greedy than humans, and they can devour all types of life energy, so we can’t let them claim this plane no matter what. For us and the human race, they are a common enemy. Besides, this is also an opportunity for us. During the Dragon God’s evolution, he fashioned the Silver Dragon Spear and the Golden Dragon Spear from two of his ribs; the Golden Dragon Spear isn’t the only one capable of devouring abyssal life energy.

“The abyssal plane is superior to the Douluo Plane, so if I can devour sufficient life energy from that plane, perhaps I would be able to recover some of the Dragon God’s powers.”

The black-haired man hesitated momentarily before replying, “This is indeed a good opportunity. If you can devour Tang Wulin as well, I’m sure you’ll be able to return to your form as the Dragon God. Once that time comes, the humans will be at our mercy, so we can’t afford to let this opportunity slip.”

Gu Yuena finally opened her eyes upon hearing this, and she turned to the black-haired man with an intense gaze. “Do I need you to tell me what to do?”

A wry smile appeared on the black-haired man’s face as he shook his head in response. “I don’t know if it’s in my place to say this, but you’re far too indecisive when it comes to Tang Wulin, My Lord. If you don’t become more decisive in this matter, you run the risk of suffering unforeseen consequences. Tang Wulin’s rate of growth has already exceeded our projections, and he’s gathering more and more powerful allies; even I don’t have full confidence in my ability to take him down now. The Golden Dragon King has inherited the Dragon God’s body and all of its negative emotions; once he completely assimilates himself with the Golden Dragon King’s power, even you most likely won’t be able to stop him, and the world will be plunged into a massive disaster.”

Gu Yuena took an indifferent glance at him, and said, “Isn’t that exactly what you’re hoping for? The vast majority of the inhabitants of this world are humans, so even if a disaster were to arise, the human race would suffer the most.”

The black-haired man faltered slightly upon hearing this. “My Lord…”

Gu Yuena waved a dismissive hand to cut him off. “That’s enough. I’ve already decided on a plan, and the Dragon God will be sure to return.”

An unfathomable look appeared in her eyes as she spoke, and her emotions had been swayed by the black-haired man in the slightest. Through her expression, the ones around her could clearly see her determination, and the black-haired man didn’t say anything further as he knew that no words would be able to change Gu Yuena’s mind in her current state.

Gu Yuena closed her eyes again, and the image of him involuntarily surfaced in her mind. On that day, they had been in very close proximity with one another, and a type of pain she had never experienced welled up in her heart at the sight of his expression.

His eyes were filled with sorrow and yearning, as if they were asking her why they couldn’t be together.

Perhaps he had already figured some things out for himself.

In the past, she could make the excuse that he wasn’t powerful enough, but now, he had become a truly formidable Soul Master, and with the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy behind him, there was no one who could match him in this world. What other excuse did she have?

Even so, she couldn’t return to his side as it simply wasn’t possible for her current self!

Wulin, I’ve already made up my mind. No matter how much you resent me for it, I can’t change anything because this is the only plan that I can think of. After all, I’m the Silver Dragon King, someone destined to stand against you! Perhaps it would be best for everyone if my plan came into fruition. Wulin, I really want to be with you, to constantly be by your side…

Gu Yuena reflexively pursed her lips as her hands balled up into tight fists. It wouldn’t be long before she would be able to see him again. At the very least, would she finally be able to fight alongside him in the battle against the abyssal army? Perhaps that would be their final close interaction and the last time they would fight together.

All she could do now was cherish every single day to come. At the very least, it would still be some time before her plan would be set into motion.

Regardless of what the final outcome of her plan’s implementation would be, she would still be able to interact closely with him prior to that.

The abyssal army was far more peaceful than one would imagine. As more and more federal troops arrived on the northern front, the chances of suffering a sneak attack from the abyssal army dwindled further and further.

The Eastsea Legion and Sea God Legion arrived one after the other, locking down the entire coastline alongside the Northsea Legion.

On land, the Central Legion, Western Legion, and Northwestern Legion had already joined up with what remained of the Northern Legion, and the only ones yet to arrive were the troops from the Southern Legion, which was simply situated too far away.

In addition to that, even the commander-in-chief of the Blood God Legion, Zhang Huanyun, had arrived with an elite group of troops. The group wasn’t very large, but all of its members were elite soldiers with extensive experience in battling abyssal creatures.

The Blood God Legion had come into contact with the abyssal plane the most by far, so they were undoubtedly going to be able to provide the most experience to everyone else.

Tang Wulin and his group were situated on the same mountain where the secondary tree of life was growing. The secondary tree of life was thriving, and it could already be seen from very far away.

Even if one couldn’t sense its aura, just the mere sight of it instilled within one a sense of peace and serenity; the secondary tree of life seemed to have become the backbone of the entire human army.

The Central Legion was stationed around this mountain, and the most powerful defensive soul tools had been set up nearby. Yu Guanzhi had stayed true to his promise, making every effort to contribute to the defense of the secondary tree of life.

With the arrival of the other legions and the constant influx of resources, it could be said that virtually all of the military power of the entire federation had been gathered in this place.

Powerful beings were also constantly arriving from the Battle God Hall, the Spirit Pagoda, and other major Soul Master organizations, forming perhaps the most formidable army to ever be assembled on the Douluo Continent.

A temporary control center had been constructed at the center of the Central Legion’s encampment, and at this moment, a lively and bustling scene was unfolding inside the control center.

The conference table in the control center was over 10 meters tall and could seat over 30 people at once.

At this moment, all of the seats had been filled by the top-ranking officials of the federation, and many major generals, even lieutenant generals, could only stand.

Two people were seated beside one another at the head of the table, one of which was an admiral, while the other was a general; they were none other than Boundless Ocean Douluo Chen Xinjie and Divine Brush Douluo Yu Guanzhi.

Two of the three leading figures of the military had arrived, and both of them were Limit Douluos.

On their left-hand side sat the representatives from all of the major Soul Master organizations, headed by the representative of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, Dragon Emperor Douluo Tang Wulin.

He was the only one from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect to be seated at this table, but there were four others standing not far behind him.
