Chapter 434 The Eternal Contract; A Gift from the Ancient Moon
"But during the time I spent with Xiaoyan and Yun'er, especially after we met again, I saw the contributions you made to the soul beast race."
All of this seems to be silently telling me that I shouldn't harbor radical ideas about the complete destruction of humanity.
At this point, Gu Yue couldn't help but sigh, her usually wise eyes filled with a rare look of confusion.
"It was only then that I truly realized how complex your human emotions are, even unconsciously influencing my original judgment."
Only now do I understand why I lost purity. If you do that, you will lose all the principles you held dear. I now realize that I don't hate the partners I spend every day with, and I've long since stopped hating you.
But it was this unconscious and profound emotional shift that truly terrified me. It dawned on me that the person I should hate most was actually myself.
Your original intention was clearly to help humans and spirit beasts find a peaceful path to coexistence, so why did I stubbornly blame and hate you?
Ultimately, if I were strong enough, how could those subsequent events have happened? My hatred for you all along was perhaps just an attempt to forcibly remove the blame that I should have borne from myself.
So that I can continue to remain in this position of Lord of Soul Beasts without feeling guilty or remorse.
Gu Yue slightly arched her body and stared straight into Huo Yuhao's deep blue-gold eyes.
In the depths of those clear eyes, she seemed to see her own weak and confused reflection.
Such weakness is extremely fatal for a king.
"Just as you explained to Tang Wutong before, Gu Yuena, as the Golden Dragon King, was willing to sacrifice herself for you in order to fulfill her mission and give the beasts a chance to survive."
And I, as the Silver Dragon King, as the ruler of all soul beasts in this world, should also bear the same mission.
The human world is far too complex, containing both good and bad people, and cannot be generalized. And so is our soul beast race. It's just that the deep-seated blood feuds accumulated between our races over a long period make every decision incredibly difficult.
Now that things have come to this, I no longer have the resources to make a judgment. But Yuhao, you are special.
Are you willing to let me stake the future of the soul beasts, and even my own life, entirely on you, and let you make this decision?
At this moment, Gu Yue's originally dark and deep eyes had been replaced by a dazzling seven-colored halo.
From all directions, endless pure elemental energies, drawn by her emotions, spontaneously transformed into countless crystal-clear miniature dragons.
These elemental dragons affectionately circled around Gu Yue and Huo Yuhao's bodies, constantly weaving and emitting joyful dragon roars.
Seeing Gu Yue's solemn expression, Huo Yuhao nodded earnestly and said seriously, "This path may be difficult, but I'm not fighting alone, am I?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue smiled gently, and the slight frown on her brows relaxed.
With a slight parting of her red lips, every word she uttered caused the surrounding void to tremble and resonate.
"I, Gu Yue, the Silver Dragon King, hereby forge an eternal pact with you."
Accompanied by a sudden burst of colorful light, a deep and majestic hum resounded within the pavilion.
The various elemental dragons, which were originally a dazzling seven colors, suddenly turned into a pure silver-white color, like a brilliant galaxy adorning the night sky, constantly flashing with dazzling light.
Just then, Gu Yue slowly exhaled, and with a wave of his right hand, a silver-white scale the size of a pigeon egg emerged from the void.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding silvery-white dragons all surged toward the dragon scale.
After absorbing these elemental dragons, the original dragon scales transformed into a constantly surging liquid, and Gu Yue's voice became increasingly solemn and sacred.
"I will walk the same path with you, and together we will bear all that the future holds. Until the heavens and the earth crumble and the seas unite. This covenant is also an eternal testament that transcends life."
As Gu Yue finished speaking, everything around them was bathed in a faint, seven-colored halo.
Amid Huo Yuhao's slightly puzzled expression, Gu Yue slowly leaned forward and pressed their foreheads tightly together.
Then, she naturally intertwined her fingers with Huo Yuhao's left hand and raised it high.
The moment their hands clasped together, the strange liquid formed from dragon scales swirled directly towards their raised hands.
As the silvery-white halo continued to flicker and intertwine, when the light dissipated, an exceptionally beautiful silvery-white ring appeared on the ring finger of each of their left hands.
The ring's surface features layers upon layers of intertwined patterns, with textured lines resembling miniature silver-white dragons swirling and coiling, exuding a vibrant and beautiful sense of life.
It's so obvious at a glance that these rings are a match made in heaven, with an inseparable connection between them.
As Huo Yuhao put on the silver dragon ring, which symbolized an eternal contract, his golden hair, which had turned golden due to his constant fusion with Ya Li's martial soul, began to fade.
Instead, it was replaced by a pure silver-white color that was extremely similar to that of Gu Yuena.
A wave of intense coolness surged through Huo Yuhao's limbs and bones.
The originally golden sea of spirit began to be tinged with a thick layer of silvery-white radiance.
The interplay of gold and silver transformed into a dreamlike, nine-colored halo.
Huo Yuhao's spiritual power, which had reached the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm when he broke through to the Title Douluo level, was directly pushed to the Divine Origin Realm without any hindrance under the impetus of this power.
A crisp, unusual sound suddenly rang in my ears; it was the sound of the original spiritual core within my spiritual sea shattering and reforming.
Huo Yuhao felt as if his mind was being lifted up by an invisible, gentle force, rising higher and higher, as if trying to break free from the constraints of heaven and earth and reach the highest heavens.
The surrounding scenery also changed completely, as if endless mysterious innate energy had gathered into clouds, with dazzling spiritual light.
Faintly, one could hear ethereal music swirling around, never ceasing.
Between the clouds, a golden ocean formed from pure spiritual energy ripples and surges.
Within it, wisps of silver light flowed and moved about, and with each breath, the gold and silver colors intertwined and merged, creating a truly wondrous sight.
Only when this strange feeling gradually subsided, and in a daze, did Huo Yuhao regain his composure and return to his own body.
What is Shenyuan?
The spirit transforms into a divine being, and the primordial beginning is formed.
After this baptism, the original soul and consciousness have been completely transformed into a higher level of divine soul and consciousness.
It was a tremendous transformation, a true shedding of mortal form, a sign that one foot had firmly stepped into the realm of gods.
Even before his battle with Di Tian in his previous life, Huo Yuhao had managed to reach the corresponding demigod level in terms of spiritual power.
But this time, the Divine Origin Realm he achieved with the help of the Ancient Moon Contract gave him a completely different feeling.
He could even clearly sense that the surrounding clouds were all pure immortal spiritual energy extracted from the remains of the Dragon God.
This also means that Huo Yuhao's subsequent use of immortal spiritual energy will no longer be limited to borrowing the power of the Dragon God's authority.
As a supreme artifact, the Eye of Destiny, with the support of celestial energy and divine consciousness, can truly exert its due effect.
However, compared to the breakthrough in mental strength, what impressed Huo Yuhao even more was his affinity for various elements, which inexplicably rose to a new level once again.
He was completely at ease, as if he had transformed into the very essence of the elements in the world.
Although Soul Masters can achieve simple resonance and borrow the power of the elements of heaven and earth when their spiritual power reaches the Spirit Domain Realm.
However, his current exaggerated control over the elements is clearly not the kind of effect one should have after entering the Divine Origin Realm.
Just as Huo Yuhao was marveling at the surge in his control over his elements, the voice of the Rakshasa God, which always carried a hint of the uncanny, rang out at the right moment, as if it had a meaning that was hard to explain.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this Silver Dragon King is really generous. It's a contract, anyway, he already has quite a few marks left on you, little guy."
But she's willing to share her power and abilities with you; isn't that practically handing her life over to the little one?
Simply put, Huo Yuhao's ability to manipulate various elements of heaven and earth was entirely due to the unique properties of the Dragon God's remains fused within his body.
Essentially, this can only be considered a borrowing, and it has no particularly deep connection with the power and laws he himself possesses.
Even after Gu Yue further unsealed his own Silver Dragon King origin and his spiritual power reached the Divine Origin Realm, he had already surpassed Huo Yuhao, who borrowed the Dragon God's remains, in terms of elemental affinity.
The reasons for this are quite complex.
But the most fundamental reason is that the Dragon God's remains on Huo Yuhao's body come from another universe, and the Dragon God of this universe, just the nine elemental powers that were divided out were enough to create nine God Kings.
Now that Gu Yue has shared the power of creation with Huo Yuhao through a contract, combined with the power of destruction that Huo Yuhao already possesses.
Without a doubt, Huo Yuhao could bypass Gu Yue and activate the so-called Dragon God's position if he wanted to.
Gu Yue made this move to share power without knowing the truth about the destruction of the Divine Dragon Realm back then.
Just as Rakshasa God said, he completely entrusted his future destiny to Huo Yuhao.
For a moment, Huo Yuhao felt an indescribable mix of emotions.
Before he could even gather his thoughts, Gu Yue's slightly intoxicating voice rang in his ears again:
"Yuhao, this silver dragon ring is the gift I want to give you. It was formed from the only reverse scale on my body."
You mentioned this when you were explaining it to Tang Wutong before. The evil contained within this Destruction Godhood is not simply formed by the accumulation of negative emotions inherent in the Dragon God himself.
Even so, the Destruction Godhood and the Creation Godhood are of the same origin and can still complement each other.
As long as you wear this ring, it's as if I'm always by your side, sharing your burdens. Ultimately, it can help you suppress and alleviate the corrosive influence of those evil thoughts...
As he finished speaking, Gu Yue's voice grew softer and softer.
But the blush on her face became even more pronounced and captivating. Leaning against Huo Yuhao's chest, she drifted into a sweet and peaceful dream.
Clearly, the large amount of essence and blood absorbed from Huo Yuhao's body earlier had caused a violent impact due to the fusion of bloodlines.
In addition, signing this eternal contract and the formation of the Silver Dragon Ring undoubtedly consumed too much of Gu Yue's mind and energy.
Huo Yuhao moved gently and carefully adjusted the sleeping Gu Yue in his arms into a more comfortable and stable position.
But when he raised his hand and looked at the very conspicuous and similarly styled silver dragon rings on his left ring finger and Gu Yue's left ring finger, he was struck by the sight of the rings.
Although a warm feeling welled up in her heart because of Gu Yue's profound trust and affection, a cold sweat involuntarily seeped out from her back.
People like Xue Di, Ya Li, and Ye Guyi all left so-called marks in their bodies.
However, those marks are usually hidden deep inside one's body and will not show up on the surface of the body at all.
Even Gu Yuena, considering that Huo Yuhao's strength was still too weak, placed the Silver Dragon Reverse Scale directly on Huo Yun'er in order to protect Huo Yuhao's mother.
The only thing hanging around Huo Yuhao's neck now is a silver dragon scale near the Reverse Scale.
If Gu Yuena were to use the silver dragon scales to descend upon her consciousness again and discover the existence of the silver dragon ring that represents the contract, the consequences would be unimaginable.
There was no need to wait for Gu Yuena's next appearance; even now, Huo Yuhao could clearly sense that Ya Li's emotions were off.
Just as Huo Yuhao was caught in a dilemma, Tang Wutong, who had been hiding in the shadows at the corner of the corridor and had witnessed everything, was completely stunned.
Not long ago, in Zhu Zhuqing's room, after being severely reprimanded by Aunt Zhuqing in a stern yet heartbroken tone, Tang Wutong managed to adjust her mindset, which was quite unusual.
From an outsider's perspective, I realized that my previous behavior was not only foolish, but also that I had made mistakes in many places that I had not noticed.
She, who was used to being pampered, was indeed not very familiar with such gentle little tricks that could enhance feelings and eliminate barriers.
Her original relationship with Huo Yuhao was more about supporting each other through various trials and tribulations while facing life-or-death crises.
Now that it's her turn to try and win back Huo Yuhao's heart, which has gradually drifted away, she doesn't know where to start or what to do.
Not to mention, after all that has happened, just as Di Ruiqiu questioned her, what identity should she have to continue standing by Huo Yuhao's side?
