Qian Mo stepped towards the Dragon God's Dragon Soul. Suddenly, a silver figure appeared beside him at that instant. Her right hand extended, and she struck towards Qian Mo with a palm.
This palm was incredibly swift. A silver light flashed and imprinted on Qian Mo's body. However, a crystal on Qian Mo's chest, inlaid with a golden edge and with a red rhomboid crystal in the center, lit up like burning flames the moment the palm struck him.
A golden-red protective shield suddenly expanded, blocking this palm from the silver-haired figure. On the golden-red protective shield, flame-colored Liuguang rippled, as if a fire dragon was roaming upon it.
The next moment, the silver-haired figure was directly blasted back by the splashing flames.
Qian Mo took out the red rhomboid crystal from his chest, looked at the silver-haired figure in front of him whose face was hidden by a veil, and sighed.
"I didn't expect that the Heart of Golden Flame Protection would end up defending against you, Na'er, instead of an external enemy!"
"Or perhaps, I should call you, Silver Dragon King."
The moment Qian Mo finished speaking, Gu Yuena's body trembled violently. She looked at Qian Mo in disbelief and said incredibly, "How is this possible? How do you know my identity?"
Qian Mo pursed his lips and said indifferently, "I know many things! Also, guess why I didn't use the Divinity Mask to simulate your Spirit, even though your Spirit clearly possesses the powerful ability of multi-element control?"
Gu Yuena's delicate body trembled. She recalled that the puppets created by the Divinity Mask would have the physical characteristics of the copied Spirit.
If Qian Mo had replicated her Spirit, the puppet would inevitably display Dragon Clan characteristics.
Perhaps from that moment on, Qian Mo understood that her Spirit was definitely not the Elemental Envoy she claimed it to be; there was definitely something wrong and hidden.
"But how did you know that I am the Silver Dragon King?" Gu Yuena asked, voicing her confusion.
Qian Mo was silent for a moment. He did not directly answer Gu Yuena's question but turned around, looked at the Dragon God's Dragon Soul, and slowly said, "I once accidentally read an ancient text. In the God Realm, the Dragon God split into two, dividing into the golden dragon king who controlled power and the Silver Dragon King who controlled elements."
"If I'm not mistaken, the bloodline on Tang Wulin is the Golden Dragon King Bloodline. Only the golden dragon king's bloodline could make my Spirit feel a trace of pressure."
"I once compared your Spirit with Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Bloodline and found that your Dragon Clan bloodline was even stronger than Tang Wulin's."
"Adding to that, you also possess terrifying control over all elements and have such great attainments in spiritual cultivation. At that time, I was certain that your Spirit was definitely the Silver Dragon King."
Qian Mo slowly turned around, his gradually golden pupils staring intently at Gu Yuena as he said, "When I confirmed that your Spirit was the Silver Dragon King, I initially thought you were in a similar situation to Tang Wulin, where the Silver Dragon King Bloodline was sealed within your body for some unknown reason. But recalling another matter overturned this idea."
"What matter?" Gu Yuena asked confusedly. She didn't know what reason had revealed a flaw.
"Do you remember the gift you left me when you left the Sacred Angel Family back then?" Qian Mo said.
Gu Yuena's pupils suddenly contracted. Qian Mo continued, "A branch of the Demon Eye Magic Tree containing a trace of its origin power, and a feather from the Emerald Swan."
"Based on the purity of their energy, it's not difficult to judge that these items came from the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, Wan Yao Wang and Bi Ji, respectively!"
"Is there a problem with that?" Gu Yuena asked.
"What problem? Isn't that a big problem?" Qian Mo snorted coldly. "The two items you left, one came from Wan Yao Wang, the most notorious old schemer among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, and the other was Bi Ji, who is heavily protected."
"Let's not even talk about Wan Yao Wang. Bi Ji's importance to the Star Dou Great Forest is second only to Di Tian. She is heavily protected by Di Tian and other Fierce Beasts. They would absolutely not allow any Human Spirit Master to get close to Bi Ji."
"Therefore, there is only one possibility for you to obtain a feather containing the Emerald Swan's origin."
Qian Mo slowly said, "Your status among the Spirit Beasts is high enough, so high that Bi Ji voluntarily gave you her feather. Combined with your Silver Dragon King Spirit, it is highly likely that you transformed from the Silver Dragon King. Isn't that right?"
This sound was like a thunderclap, leaving Gu Yuena stunned and at a loss.
At this moment, Gu Yuena clenched her fists tightly. Her heart was currently in a battle between heaven and man. Logically speaking, since Qian Mo had discovered her identity as the Silver Dragon King, she should immediately kill Qian Mo on the spot to prevent her true identity from being exposed.
But could she really be so ruthless?
Her fists were clenched so tightly they creaked. She wanted to act, but at this moment, her hands felt as heavy as if they were wearing jacks and she couldn't lift them at all.
After Qian Mo finished speaking, he slowly walked forward, extended his hands, and gently removed Gu Yuena's veil, revealing her incredibly beautiful face with tears streaming down it.
Qian Mo smiled slightly, raised his hand to brush away the tears from Gu Yuena's face, and said with a smile, "It's very difficult, isn't it?"
Gu Yuena lowered her head, remained silent, seemingly acknowledging Qian Mo's words.
Qian Mo smiled helplessly, then straightened his expression and said, "How about we cooperate?"
Gu Yuena suddenly raised her head, shaking off a few crystalline tears, and asked confusedly, "Cooperate?"
"That's right, cooperate!" Qian Mo said affirmatively.
Gu Yuena was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I represent the Spirit Beast race, and you are a human."
"Why? Can't humans and Spirit Beasts cooperate?" Qian Mo said. "Don't forget, when the Spirit Transfer Pagoda was first established, Huo Yuhao formed a cooperative relationship with Fierce Beasts."
"Cooperation is built upon mutual interests, it has nothing to do with race," Qian Mo said earnestly.
"Then do you think your interests align with our Spirit Beast race?" Gu Yuena said coldly.
Qian Mo smiled faintly. "The demands of your Spirit Beast race are nothing more than wanting to avoid the extinction of Spirit Beasts and restore the glory of the Spirit Beast race."
"That's right, but from this perspective, Spirit Beasts and humans are irreconcilable. We have fundamental conflicts of interest," Gu Yuena said.
"Is that so? Then I can only say, don't bite off more than you can chew," Qian Mo said. "I know your Spirit Beast race harbors hatred towards humans and wants to eliminate them."
"But do you think you can achieve that?"
With a calm expression, Qian Mo analyzed the probability of Spirit Beasts eliminating humans for Gu Yuena.
"Firstly, your Spirit Beasts must first overcome the hurdle of powerful Human Spirit Masters. With the enhancement of Four-Word Battle Armor Masters, the high-level combat power of current Spirit Masters has long surpassed yours. Take Skyreach Douluo Yun Ming, for example; even Di Tian, the strongest among your Fierce Beasts, wouldn't dare say he can definitely defeat him!"
"Of course, as the Silver Dragon King, once you grow stronger in the future, you might have a way to deal with the powerful Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent. But after solving the hurdle of the Douluo Plane, how will you overcome the hurdle of the God Realm?"
Qian Mo's last sentence was like a heavy hammer striking Gu Yuena's heart, leaving her stunned.
That's right, how could they overcome the hurdle of the God Realm?
