N-A-A Chapter 60 "My name is Gu Yuena".
Chapter 60 "My name is Gu Yuena".
The Silver Dragon King spoke these words with great difficulty and reluctance.
Asking her, the lofty half of the dragon god, to apologize to two inferior soul beasts who were once considered food was something she would never have dared to imagine before.
If it were before, once the Star Dou Great Forest had recovered, she would have led all the soul beasts on the continent without hesitation to launch a beast tide, wage war against humanity, and reclaim everything that once belonged to the soul beasts.
But she had just realized that there was a divine realm and a god-king watching her, and that the probability of success was almost zero until she had fully recovered.
As long as there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two sides, there is a possibility of negotiation. It is not beneficial for either human or soul beast to fight to the death.
The Sword of Damocles hung over her head, and the state of the insect and the tortoise gave her a glimpse of possibility. As the ruler of all soul beasts, she was willing to set aside her dignity to give her people a chance to turn their lives around. In the Silver Dragon King's eyes, this was worthwhile.
Within the Sea of Spirit, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the Golden Tortoise Shell looked at each other in silence, but they could both faintly see tears in each other's eyes.
For the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the Golden Hawksbill, two veteran soul beasts who have lived for millions and hundreds of thousands of years respectively, what is most important to them?
They would answer without hesitation that it was their fate.
Dignity? Can you eat that?
However, this does not mean they are willing to give up their dignity...
To say that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would abandon its millennia-long imprisonment and feast with Di Tian and the others? That's impossible.
Although the Golden Hawksbill Turtle didn't harbor the same resentment as Tianmeng, their clan was still among the most oppressed in the Star Dou Great Forest. Yet now, Huo Yuhao was willing to risk his life to confront the Soul Beast Lord for their sake, even earning an apology from the Soul Beast Lord on their behalf.
This allowed them to truly feel Huo Yuhao's sincerity, and any existing or nonexistent barriers between them completely disappeared.
Tianmeng Bingcan sniffed, suppressing a sob in her voice.
"Xiao Yuhao, I won't say anything more. From now on, we're brothers even though we're not from the same father!"
The golden hawksbill turtle was more direct, raising its head, its small eyes wide, and patting its shell with its front paws. "No one can hurt you until this old turtle's shell breaks!"
Huo Yuhao's voice echoed within the sea of consciousness, "Brother Tianmeng, Old Turtle, since you chose me, I have an obligation to live on with your hopes."
At this point, Huo Yuhao smiled, "You may not care about these things, but in my opinion, these are things I should do. Bullies seeking justice and being punished is how things should be. We shouldn't negate all of this just because of the saying 'survival of the fittest'!"
These were the words Baili Du taught him, and they were also the words he hoped Huo Yuhao would follow throughout his life…
Huo Yuhao briefly demonstrated the Soul Spirit technique to the Silver Dragon King, using the Golden Tortoise Shell as an example.
The Silver Dragon King was naturally very interested in this magical spell that could reduce the killing between humans and spirit beasts.
The Silver Dragon King crossed his legs, tapped his chin with his finger, and said thoughtfully, "Can your technology be promoted now? Even if it can't completely resolve the conflict between humans and soul beasts, it would be good if it could just reduce the killing between the two groups."
Huo Yuhao nodded, then shook his head. "Theoretically, every human can learn and possess a soul, but..."
At this point, Huo Yuhao deliberately paused, glanced at Zhang Lexuan who was still unconscious, and spoke a few words faster, "Senior, I also want to resolve the conflict between humans and soul beasts, but it is obviously impossible to do so with just the technology of soul spirits. Moreover, this is a matter between two races. You may be able to represent the entire soul beast race, but I cannot represent the entire human race right now."
"I understand what you mean," the Silver Dragon King lowered his fingers and placed his hands flat on his knees. "This is not just a matter for you humans, but also for us soul beasts. I'll handle the soul beast side, and as for the humans... let's talk about that when your strength reaches a certain level."
They agreed so readily...
Huo Yuhao, who had expected to have to explain himself at length, looked at the Silver Dragon King with surprise, but couldn't help asking, "You trust me that much?"
"...Human, answer one question for me first." The Silver Dragon King sat up slightly and said seriously, "And what are your considerations in wanting to resolve the conflict between humans and soul beasts?"
"And..." she seemed to be implying something, her voice becoming more enigmatic, "this isn't something an 11-year-old like you would consider."
No matter how mature and composed Huo Yuhao appears, he is still an 11-year-old child. Even though he has experienced a considerable amount of time in the Douluo World and his mental age has grown, his experience is still insufficient.
Moreover, there are probably not many people who would think about the relationship between humans and soul beasts now, including the Sea God Pavilion, which calls itself the guardian of the continent.
"Mmm..."
Huo Yuhao pondered with some hesitation.
What should he say?
"It's probably..." After hesitating for a while, Huo Yuhao finally decided to tell his truest thoughts, "This is perhaps what I should do..."
"!!!"
The Silver Dragon King had to admit that she needed to re-evaluate Huo Yuhao.
It's a simple, yet excellent, answer.
"That's...not bad."
Huo Yuhao pursed his lips. "It's always easier to say than to do, and doing is always more convincing than saying. Please, senior, watch my future performance."
The Silver Dragon King felt an indescribable emotion; she didn't know how to view this human boy.
Even if he were the chosen one of the Douluo Continent, he would at most only catch her eye a few more times, but these words were enough to make her think more highly of him.
With a flick of her slender jade finger, the Silver Dragon King sent a streak of silver light flying toward Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao reached out and grabbed it, encircling it in his palm.
"This is……"
What appeared in the palm of her hand was a silver necklace, a thin silver chain with an oval-shaped scale hanging from it, about the size of a pigeon's egg, entirely gleaming silver, with layers of fine patterns on it.
There are four layers of patterns on it, overlapping each other to create a three-dimensional effect. The tails of the patterns all curve upwards, and even a little light shining on this scale will make the light emitted appear three-dimensional.
Huo Yuhao exclaimed sincerely, "So beautiful! This is..."
"Wear it around your neck and see what it does for you."
"By the way, my name is..."
At this point, the figures of the Silver Dragon King and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion disappeared in a silver halo, leaving only three words in the air.
"Gu Yuena".
