32: Ancient events in the divine world
Seeing a flash of golden light in Dai Mubai's eyes, Gu Yuena unconsciously curved her lips and spoke slowly, her expression turning cold.
"You are the first person on this continent who dares to speak to me like that."
Dai Mubai's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, with only determination in his eyes. He seemed not to have changed his mind because of Gu Yuena's words.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena was slightly displeased and slowly unleashed her aura towards Dai Mubai.
Yet, Dai Mubai showed no change. The moment Gu Yuena unleashed her aura, he summoned his Gengjin White Tiger Martial Soul.
Looking at Dai Mubai's Gengjin White Tiger Martial Soul, Gu Yuena unconsciously slowly withdrew her aura, glanced at Dai Mubai, and asked.
"Let's go down and talk?"
The two went down to the bottom of the canyon just like that. They sat at a table. Gu Yuena sat down and casually took out a pot of tea, pouring a cup for Dai Mubai. Looking at Dai Mubai's Martial Soul, she pondered for a moment and slowly began to speak.
"This is a story from a long, long time ago. I also have a part of the Dragon God's memory. When the Dragon God was very young, in the Dragon God's memory, the God Realm at that time was very vast, while the current God Realm is only a part of what it was back then. At that time, there were four legendary Divine Beasts: Ding Fire Vermilion Bird, Yi Wood Green Dragon, Ren Water Black Tortoise, and..."
Gu Yuena paused deliberately while looking at Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai spoke up at the right moment, giving the answer Gu Yuena wanted to hear.
"And my Martial Soul, the Gengjin White Tiger."
Gu Yuena nodded, having received the answer she wanted, and continued speaking with a smile.
"And the Dragon God was just a small beast protected by them at that time. One day, the ancient Divine Realm encountered a great catastrophe. The entire ancient Divine Realm was almost annihilated. In the memory regarding the Dragon God, these four legendary Divine Beasts stood up. Although they protected the God Realm from utter destruction, they ultimately perished."
As she spoke, Gu Yuena's fingers couldn't help but clench until they turned slightly white. Meanwhile, Dai Mubai's heart was churning with immense waves. The ancient Divine Realm, the Four Holy? Answers that had not appeared in the original work surfaced before his eyes bit by bit.
Dai Mubai took a deep breath, and after careful consideration, he slowly but firmly spoke a sentence.
"But those four legendary Divine Beasts didn't leave behind any descendants or information, right?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuena's face showed emotion for the first time. When she looked at Dai Mubai, a certain idea in her eyes seemed to become even more firm. Then, Gu Yuena slowly recounted what happened afterward.
"The Dragon God then remained in the current God Realm, which is the God Realm now, and then..."
Dai Mubai already knew the story that followed upon hearing this, so he interrupted Gu Yuena and slowly spoke.
"Then the Dragon God became the sole authority in the current God Realm, but also did not give up searching for those four beings. Later, human Gods rebelled and overthrew the Dragon God's rule. The Dragon God split into two, becoming the Golden Dragon King and you, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena."
Seeing this, Gu Yuena also nodded slightly, as if confirming a certain answer, and smiled, signaling Dai Mubai to continue.
And Dai Mubai continued to recount everything he knew.
"Then, after you and the Golden Dragon King were besieged for a long time, the Golden Dragon King was sealed by the Shura God, and you, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, opened a spatial rift and came to this World."
Hearing this, Gu Yuena finally stood up and stared intently into Dai Mubai's eyes. After all, she could accept the first part of what Dai Mubai said.
But this latter part was somewhat alarming. Dai Mubai even knew who sealed the Golden Dragon King.
Gu Yuena didn't see a trace of falsehood in Dai Mubai's eyes, but rather a casualness in speaking the truth lightly, as if he didn't care about Gu Yuena's opinion.
Gu Yuena then slowly sat down, picked up her teacup, and took a sip. After calming her turbulent emotions slightly, she spoke and continued her request.
"Good, now you have more things to tell me. Speak slowly."
At this moment, Gu Yuena was somewhat uncertain about her own conjectures. Regarding Dai Mubai's origin, she became increasingly cautious.
If Gu Yuena found a single lie on Dai Mubai, she would not hesitate to search his soul to learn what she wanted.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai picked up his teacup, drained it in one gulp, and slowly began his narration.
"Those four legendary Divine Beasts you mentioned are collectively called the Four Symbols, also known as the Four Holy Beasts. As for me, I cannot give you a definite answer right now because..."
It was the first time Gu Yuena clearly understood a little about the origins of those four beings, just as Dai Mubai was about to reveal his identity.
But Dai Mubai said he couldn't give a definite answer, which made the usually aloof Gu Yuena a little impatient.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai tapped the table, signaling Gu Yuena to calm down, and Gu Yuena also realized she was being a bit impulsive today.
So she took a deep breath, her eyes still showing a hint of urgency as she motioned for Dai Mubai to continue.
Actually, Gu Yuena couldn't be blamed, simply because those four legendary Divine Beasts were too important to their Divine Beast race.
After pondering for a while, Dai Mubai sighed deeply and slowly spoke.
"Whether you believe it or not, my memories started recovering about a year ago. My Martial Soul also began to mutate at that time. Countless memories are pouring out from somewhere in my mind. I haven't fully processed them yet. Every time I make a breakthrough, a portion of these memories recovers."
Hearing this, one of Gu Yuena's initial conjectures about Dai Mubai's origin was validated.
Moreover, when Dai Mubai said this, there was a sense of powerlessness. Although it couldn't be guaranteed that everything Dai Mubai said was true at the moment, it seemed it wasn't wise to forcibly search his soul now, or it might affect Dai Mubai's memories, which would be disastrous.
Seeing that Gu Yuena seemed dissatisfied with his answer and somewhat helpless, Dai Mubai slowly took out the Gengjin Shattering Sky Blade. He believed that with this item, Gu Yuena would temporarily lower her guard against him.
The moment the Gengjin Shattering Sky Blade appeared, the killing intent made Gu Yuena feel a sense of familiarity deep in her bones. She took it and examined it carefully.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai also felt somewhat relieved. With the Gengjin White Tiger's accompanying weapon here, Gu Yuena should not make any dangerous moves towards him.
After examining it for a while, Gu Yuena couldn't help but fall into reminiscence and murmured.
"Senior Gengjin White Tiger's weapon back then..."
Dai Mubai interrupted Gu Yuena's reminiscing at this moment and spoke.
"The Gengjin Shattering Sky Blade is familiar, right? I could only pick it up after advancing to Soul King. It also appeared about a year ago. Currently, due to the limitations of my cultivation, its level can only be at half-Divine Artifact."
Hearing this, Gu Yuena finally confirmed Dai Mubai's identity. As a descendant of the White Tiger Martial Soul, he was chosen by the Gengjin White Tiger as a reincarnation candidate and was slowly recovering his memories.
If Gu Yuena had any doubts before, everything was completely confirmed before her eyes now. If the previous things could be faked...
But the aura of Dai Mubai's Martial Soul and this weapon used by the Gengjin White Tiger back then could not be faked.
Thus, Gu Yuena returned the Gengjin Shattering Sky Blade to Dai Mubai and looked at Dai Mubai, speaking firmly as she extended an invitation.
"Senior Gengjin White Tiger, as one of the ancestral Soul Beasts, you did not leave behind any descendants. Since you have reincarnated, and now because of the rebellion of those damned humans, we Divine Beasts cannot become Gods. You can now return to our Divine Beast race. With you leading us, we can definitely fight our way back to the God Realm and reclaim everything!"
Gu Yuena believed that with the legendary Divine Beast, Senior Gengjin White Tiger, leading them, her plan would definitely succeed.
But Dai Mubai turned the tables and looked at Gu Yuena, slowly beginning to question her.
"Have you ever thought about one thing? The Dragon God, as the being we Four Holy protected back then, why would he be defeated by mere humans?"
Gu Yuena, suddenly hearing this question, was caught off guard, so she gritted her teeth and said without thinking.
"Of course, it's because of the schemes of those damned human Gods and..."
Hearing this, Dai Mubai couldn't help but shake his head. Looking at Gu Yuena, he slowly and deliberately belittled the Dragon God.
"That's because the Dragon God had a problem, a flaw in his bloodline."
Hearing this, Gu Yuena naturally refused, even though she had already confirmed that the person before her was the reincarnation of the Gengjin White Tiger.
"How is that possible? The Dragon God's bloodline is the strongest."
Seeing Gu Yuena's reaction, Dai Mubai also nodded, then shook his head, intending to continue speaking and explain to Gu Yuena.
