The entire Group Chat instantly fell completely silent. Everyone was utterly stunned by this revelation. The strict rule that Spirit Beasts cannot attain Divinity was actually set by the Dragon God himself? How could something so vital to their survival be so completely ridiculous?
At the exact same time, the ones who were the most dumbfounded were naturally the two Silver Dragon Kings and the several Spirit Beasts. They could not understand what was happening around them. The person who had screwed over their Spirit Beast Clan was actually their once-great Lord Dragon God?
In the Dou 1 World, deep within the ancient Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yuena was completely filled with shock at this moment. She lost her usual cold composure entirely.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! This rule is clearly targeted at our Spirit Beast Clan by those biased gods in the God Realm. How could it possibly be something our Lord Dragon God said?" Gu Yuena cried out in complete disbelief.
Standing nearby, Zi Ji and Bi Ji were also filled with deep astonishment and confusion.
"Is Su Yan lying to us right now? But what good would it do for him to lie to us about something like this? Master, why is it like this? Why would he do this to us?" Zi Ji asked, her voice trembling.
Gu Yuena shook her head frantically in distress. She truly did not know what to think anymore.
Gu Yuena 2: Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This is clearly targeted at our Spirit Beast Clan by those gods in the God Realm. How could it possibly be something the Dragon God said?
These two versions of Gu Yuena were truly identical in every way, which actually made a lot of sense. At present, neither of them had experienced much of the outside world yet. Their personalities and memories were almost completely identical, so what they wanted to say when facing huge problems was naturally the exact same thing.
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: What is going on here?
Ah Yin: Su Yan, is the rule that Spirit Beasts cannot attain Divinity really set by Lord Dragon God himself?
Xiao Wu: But why would Lord Dragon God do something like this to us?
Su Yan: Matters concerning the Dragon God are very complex to explain, and there are many different versions. I won't explain all the cause and effect right now. I will tell you the final result directly.
Su Yan: During the ancient God Realm War, the Dragon God led the Spirit Beast gods and human gods into a decisive battle. As a result, the Dragon God suddenly lost his mind during the war and went on an indiscriminate killing spree. This caused many members of the Dragon Clan and other Spirit Beast lineages to die directly by his hands, which ultimately led to a total defeat for the Spirit Beast faction.
Su Yan: When the Dragon God briefly recovered his mind at the very end, he was slashed in half by a single sword strike from the Asura God. He split into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. I suppose you Gu Yuenas are still carrying heavy injuries on your bodies right now, suffering from the continuous erosion of the Asura God's power.
Su Yan: These words were spoken by the Dragon God himself. One possibility is that after the Dragon Clan fell and Spirit Beast gods suffered heavy losses, the Dragon God established this rule to avoid further retaliation from human gods.
Su Yan: Look, didn't he say it himself? Unless the Dragon Clan revives, the Dragon God cannot reappear.
Liu Erlong: I think I understand now. The Dragon God is dead, the Dragon Clan has perished, and Spirit Beast gods have suffered heavy casualties. If any more Spirit Beasts tried to become gods right now, wouldn't that just be seeking their own deaths?
Ah Yin: So Lord Dragon God was actually trying to protect our Spirit Beast Clan all along?
Gu Yuena 1: Is that really true?
Gu Yuena 2: Are you sure about this?
Back in the Dou 1 World within the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yuena, Zi Ji, and Bi Ji briefly calmed down after reading these words. This logical explanation actually seemed quite plausible to them. The Dragon God banning the beast clan from attaining Divinity was actually meant to protect the Spirit Beast Clan. Under the Dragon God's leadership, they could not win against the human gods anyway, so ascending one by one would only lead to their destruction.
Gu Yuena 1: I understand now!
Gu Yuena 2: The Dragon God probably didn't want our Spirit Beast Clan to suffer any more meaningless sacrifices, right?
Bibi Dong: Hehe! You are all being far too naive.
Liu Erlong: Old woman, what are you laughing at? Aren't we guessing the truth correctly?
Ling Yuan: I can't say you're completely wrong, but I can only say this idea is utterly absurd!
I Am an Orphan: I honestly don't even know how to complain about this logic. I guess Su Yan and the others feel the exact same way.
At this moment, Bibi Dong and the other sharp group members seemed to understand the reality of the situation clearly. No wonder Su Yan laughed so hard when he heard that Gu Yuena had inherited the Dragon God's wisdom! He even mocked it as world-shaking wisdom. The Dragon God had to actually possess real wisdom for anyone to inherit it in the first place!
" Ye Lingling " was renamed to " Group Member No. 9 ".
Group Member No. 9: To the two Rulers of Spirit Beasts, may I speak freely about this matter?
Gu Yuena 1: Speak your mind.
Gu Yuena 2: You may speak.
Group Member No. 9: Whatever No. 9 says next, if you have any questions in the group, look for No. 9 directly. It has absolutely nothing to do with Ye Lingling!
Everyone: That is truly amazing.
Group Member No. 9: My honest view is that your Dragon God was truly lacking basic common sense! Have you ever thought about a simple question: if Spirit Beasts cannot attain Divinity at all, how can the Dragon Clan ever revive and allow the Dragon God to reappear?
Group Member No. 9: To put it bluntly, your Spirit Beast Clan only has the two of you left, the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, and both of you are half-crippled. The entire advancement path of the Spirit Beast Clan has been completely cut off forever!
Bibi Dong: I share the exact same view on this matter. Although the Spirit Beast Clan mostly relies on Bloodline strength, powerful Bloodlines comparable to human geniuses will still emerge over time. Examples like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger are very simple proof of this.
Bibi Dong: They are true geniuses of the Spirit Beast Clan, yet they can't even attain Divinity. What does your Spirit Beast Clan rely on to revive, and what do you rely on to ever return to the God Realm?
I Am an Orphan: My personal view is completely the same as theirs.
Wang Dong: This really seems to be a total dead end for them, right?
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: I feel like the Dragon God should have said at the very end, "Our Spirit Beast Clan has already suffered enough retribution, so I hope you can leave us a way out in the future."
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: But why did he make it so that Spirit Beasts couldn't attain Divinity at all? They don't even qualify to sit at the table anymore. Isn't this whole thing completely over for them?
Bo Saixi: Indeed, it is a complete dead end. Even if the Dragon God reappears someday, so what? After reappearing, he would just be a commander with no actual troops, and he would likely be destroyed once again by the human gods.
Dugu Yan: Why do I feel like something is a bit off here? You two Rulers of Spirit Beasts supposedly inherited the Dragon God's wisdom, so No. 9 wants to ask: where on earth did the Dragon God get that wisdom from in the first place?
Group Member No. 9: Ah, yes! That is the exact question I wanted to ask as well!
Ma Xiaotao: You two should stop messing around right now. I already wanted to laugh out loud, and you're still pulling this kind of stunt?
Ling Luochen: No. 9 put a clear disclaimer, and the two Rulers of Spirit Beasts personally said anyone could speak freely. Dugu Yan didn't say that disclaimer, so No. 9 has to be the one to ask the question.
Su Yan was also deeply amused by the chaotic conversation at this moment. Yes, this was indeed that world-shaking wisdom everyone talked about! He didn't even need to explain the details himself, because a single sentence spoken by the Dragon God had already exposed the core truth of the entire matter.
At this exact moment, deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yuena had truly and completely lost her composure. She felt completely awful inside her heart. Everything she had planned for so long was collapsing all around her.
It was completely over! The beautiful blueprint she had carefully constructed in her imagination was simple: first, rule the entire Douluo Continent, then lead her army to fight back to the God Realm, and finally rebuild the ancient glory of the Spirit Beast Clan!
However, right now, Su Yan's blunt words and the ruthless revelations from everyone in the Group Chat were like cold water poured directly over her head. It drenched her thoroughly and chilled her to the very bone.
Fight back to the God Realm? What could she possibly rely on to fight back to the God Realm now? Even if every single thing went smoothly according to her original plan, was she supposed to fight against the powerful gods of the entire God Realm all by herself?
Standing right beside her, Zi Ji and Bi Ji were also completely dumbfounded. They had also foolishly fantasized about the grand future of the Spirit Beast Clan, but the harsh reality presented before them was simply too heartbreaking to bear. The Spirit Beast Clan had no hope whatsoever for the future, not even possessing the qualification to sit at the table and negotiate. What else was left for them to say?
