33: Chapter 33: Joining the Soul Beast Camp
"Do you think the Dragon God at his peak reached the realm of the Four Holy Beasts?"
As these words fell, Gu Yuena's heart wavered, because the Dragon God did say his peak strength did not reach the level of the Four Holy Beasts.
"That's because the environment was different. If it were in the ancient period, Senior Dragon God might not necessarily have been unable to reach the realm of the Four Holy Beasts."
Gu Yuena also stubbornly retorted, although she knew that what Dai Mubai said might be correct. But until he provided a reason that could convince her, she would still argue for the Dragon God at his peak.
"There's no need to deceive yourself. The only difference between the ancient Divine Realm and now is that the God Realm has become smaller. However, the current God Realm still possesses most of what the ancient Divine Realm had, besides area and some other things. The cultivation system hasn't changed."
Dai Mubai slowly spoke, shattering Gu Yuena's stubbornness, and then, ignoring the hints of defiance in Gu Yuena's eyes, he continued to expound his theory.
"That can only prove that there are realms beyond God King, and the Dragon God, as an existence that could be protected by the Four Holy back then, should naturally have been extraordinary. Logically, reaching beyond God King should also not have been a problem, but he didn't. Therefore, it can only prove that the Dragon God's bloodline at his peak was not perfect."
Hearing this, Gu Yuena slowly lowered her head. What Dai Mubai said currently made sense, proving that the Dragon God at his peak indeed lacked something, be it bloodline or something else.
So Gu Yuena cast aside her gloom and continued to speak with a question.
"Then, Senior Gengjin White Tiger, do you know what the Dragon God lacked?"
Dai Mubai pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
"Legend has it that the Four Holy are the guardians of the Ying Dragon (Yellow Dragon). I think the Dragon God you speak of should have some connection to the Ying Dragon. However, if the Dragon God was the bloodline of the Ying Dragon, and the Ying Dragon was an existence above the Four Holy, then his bloodline couldn't possibly have failed to break through the God King realm. So, as for other specific information, I don't know for now either."
After Dai Mubai finished speaking, Gu Yuena remained in shock. What Dai Mubai said was information she had never come into contact with.
The Four Holy Beasts, which only existed in legends, were merely the guardians of the Ying Dragon?
After processing this information, Gu Yuena looked at Dai Mubai and, somewhat stubbornly, spoke again, asking Dai Mubai for a conclusion. After all, as the reincarnation of a legendary Soul Beast, Dai Mubai was too important to their race.
"Then, Senior Gengjin White Tiger, you should return to our Soul Beast race, right, and lead us to reclaim what we lost?"
Dai Mubai pondered for a moment upon hearing this. After all, as a human, his Martial Soul was merely the Gengjin White Tiger. Joining the Soul Beast faction now seemed a bit inappropriate.
However, the cultivation system of the Douluo Continent seemed to exist solely for the extinction of the Soul Beast race, even with the so-called Soul Spirit system later on, it was still the same.
Since that was the case, the unfair cultivation system and the Gengjin White Tiger Martial Soul bestowed upon him by heaven seemed to have already said something.
Then why not join the Soul Beast faction and seek the truth that he also desired?
Having figured it out, Dai Mubai looked at Gu Yuena and slowly made his decision.
"Of course. Even the cultivation system of this World is targeting the Soul Beast race. Why can't we overthrow this World and the hypocritical Gods above?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuena's somewhat worried heart finally settled, and she said with a smile.
"Senior Gengjin White Tiger, then let us together overthrow this World targeting our race and those hypocritical Gods."
At this moment, Dai Mubai vaguely felt that he still had something very important left undone.
Then Dai Mubai suddenly slapped his forehead. He hadn't claimed the system's upgrade gift package yet!
Seeing this, Gu Yuena was a bit confused and was about to ask when Dai Mubai spoke up and made his request.
"I plan to enter seclusion for a moment. I have some things I intend to do."
Although confused by this, Gu Yuena still chose to respect him. After all, Dai Mubai's meaning was clearly that he wanted to be alone for a while. However, she also happened to plan on going out to announce that Dai Mubai was the reincarnation of Senior Gengjin White Tiger and some other news.
After all, what if some short-sighted person accidentally killed the reincarnation of the Gengjin White Tiger in the future? How long would their Soul Beast race have to wait for the next reincarnation?
So Gu Yuena walked out of the Void Gate. As Gu Yuena walked out, Dai Mubai also entered the system space.
Looking at the surprise gift package in the system, which was much larger than the last time, Dai Mubai still chose to open it.
"Congratulations Host, you have obtained Green Dragon Fragments, dragon god's essence blood*2, Space Teleportation Talisman*2, Martial Soul Evolution Card*1."
Dai Mubai watched as the complete Green Dragon Fragments turned into a small Green Dragon diagram and clicked synthesize.
"Congratulations Host, you have obtained the second Martial Soul, Yimu Green Dragon!"
Hearing this, the doubts in Dai Mubai's mind grew larger and larger. The second Martial Soul was Yimu Green Dragon. Did the Four Holy mean he would have four Martial Souls? What exactly was the relationship between his Martial Soul and the events in the God Realm before?
After suppressing the growing doubts in his heart, Dai Mubai slowly switched to his second Martial Soul: Yimu Green Dragon, intending to see what it looked like.
A standard Eastern Divine Dragon, with a body like a long snake, a head like a Qilin, a tail like a carp, a long beard on its face, scales shimmering with green light, and antlers like a deer, slowly appeared. Its body was surrounded by a mysterious aura and the faintly visible, vibrant forest behind it, and its dark green eyes were full of majesty.
Dai Mubai watched for a while before retracting his Yimu Green Dragon Martial Soul and switching to the Gengjin White Tiger Martial Soul.
Afterwards, he took out the Gengjin Shattering Sky Blade to dispel the aura of his Yimu Green Dragon Martial Soul, and then he couldn't help but fantasize about what the exclusive weapon of the Yimu Green Dragon Martial Soul would look like.
After all, the Gengjin White Tiger Martial Soul had an exclusive weapon, so it was impossible for the Yimu Green Dragon not to have one, right?
Since the Martial Soul Evolution Card currently didn't specify gender, anyone could use it. He would keep it for now.
There was also the Space Teleportation Talisman. Dai Mubai couldn't help but take one out to look at it. It was entirely silver-gray and only about three inches in size.
What gave Dai Mubai the biggest headache was the usage distance of this thing. It wouldn't directly teleport him to another World, would it?
After shaking off those thoughts, Dai Mubai finally took out the so-called dragon god's essence blood.
A drop of nine-colored blood slowly hovered in the air. The pressure it released was quite terrifying. If Dai Mubai himself hadn't possessed the Gengjin White Tiger Martial Soul, he estimated that he would have been affected by it.
Dai Mubai looked at it. The so-called dragon god's essence blood seemed to have good energy, but unfortunately, he currently seemed unable to absorb it.
While Dai Mubai was thinking about how to use this dragon god's essence blood, Gu Yuena had already walked in from the Void Gate.
Just as Gu Yuena was about to open her mouth to greet Dai Mubai, her attention was drawn by that drop of dragon god's essence blood.
With a flash, she appeared beside Dai Mubai, staring intently at that drop of dragon god's essence blood, murmuring in a somewhat disbelieving tone.
"Dragon... dragon god's essence blood?"
Seeing Gu Yuena come to his side, Dai Mubai thought that since he had joined the Soul Beast faction anyway.
Moreover, Gu Yuena was still severely injured. Seeing that this dragon god's essence blood was very beneficial to her, it might help her recover from her injuries sooner.
So Dai Mubai interrupted Gu Yuena's dazed state of staring at that drop of dragon god's essence blood and spoke lightly.
"With this item, your injuries should recover faster, right?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuena immediately snapped out of her dazed state. Looking at the somewhat casual Dai Mubai, her heart couldn't help but be filled with emotion: Senior Gengjin White Tiger was actually using dragon god's essence blood to heal her injuries. She had doubted him before, she truly deserved to die.
Gu Yuena nodded and answered Dai Mubai somewhat haltingly.
"Of course. With this drop of dragon god's essence blood, I can recover from all my injuries in just a few decades."
So Dai Mubai nodded, handed this drop of dragon god's essence blood to Gu Yuena, and spoke with a bit of encouragement.
"Then hurry and heal your injuries, for our goal."
Gu Yuena carefully took the dragon god's essence blood and then nodded heavily. Immediately after, she transformed into her original form and swallowed this drop of dragon god's essence blood.
A thousand-zhang-sized silver giant dragon appeared before Dai Mubai.
After swallowing that drop of nine-colored dragon god's essence blood, the dense, tiny scars on the silver dragon scales on her body slowly disappeared.
After a burst of nine-colored light enveloped this silver giant dragon, just an hour later.
The silver giant dragon couldn't help but let out a long roar, and this dragon roar was heard by all the Soul Beasts beneath the Lake of Life.
The Soul Beasts who heard this dragon roar couldn't help but prostrate themselves on the ground in unison to show their submission.
Di Tian, who heard it first, couldn't help but react, standing up and saying in surprise.
"Master, her injuries are healed?!"
All the Soul Beasts couldn't help but look at Di Tian upon hearing this. And Bi Ji also came to Di Tian and asked with a bit of hesitation.
"Di Tian, are you sure? This is no small matter."
Di Tian also couldn't help but feel a bit hesitant at this moment, but he spoke his feelings.
"This dragon roar has the feeling of Master at her peak. Although Master is suppressing it, it can be said with certainty that Master's injuries have improved significantly."
