Chapter 1959 Kill Her?The call ended.

Naturally, the numerous Limit Douluos present heard the conversation between Tang Wulin and Mo Lan. They could not help falling silent.

The situation was different from when they fought against the abyss in the past. They were united as one to fight against the formidable enemy that was the abyssal plane, yet it was highly possible that this time, their enemy was themselves!

As long as the soul beasts were not foolish, they would be able to command the soul masters to spearhead the attack against mankind. What should humanity do if that were to happen? Should they kill their own people that were turned against them?

Long Yeyue looked toward Old Demon Greed. “Senior Greed, do you have any idea what to do? You are a spiritual entity. Is there anything you can do to help take back control of our soul masters?”

Old Demon revealed a bitter expression that was rarely seen. “You think too highly of us. Although we are spiritual entities, our existence still depends on life force. The Silver Dragon Princess is of Godhood rank and the Dragon God’s divine consciousness rank is even higher than ours by countless times. However, I believe that we might be able to figure out a way.”

Everyone’s eyes shifted to him in unison, including Tang Wulin’s.

Old Demon Greed said in a deep voice, “The Dragon God Core is undoubtedly within the Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena’s control. One could say that she is controlling all the soul masters and is the only one capable of doing so. The only way now is to stop her from exercising her control. In other words, kill her and everything will be solved. At least, she will no longer be able to control the soul masters, and then we can gather the forces needed to fight against the soul beast legion.”

Tang Wulin could not help shaking violently upon hearing the words ‘kill her’.

Kill Gu Yuena?! The only way to solve all this was by killing her?

Aside from whether they were capable of defeating her, how could Tang Wulin accept the idea of using the word ‘kill’ on the woman he loved so deeply all his life?!

Everyone fell silent. No one could help him to make a decision at this time.

However, just as Mo Lan had mentioned, as a Real God, he was the entire Douluo Continent’s only hope.

…

In Mingdu City, fear spread through the streets. The situation was just as Mo Lan had predicted. There was a saying that ‘evil news rides fast while good news comes later’. The news of a large number of soul beasts appearing and seizing control of soul masters to take revenge on humankind had already spread through the continent within a short period of time.

Soon enough, a cacophony of voices were condemning all soul masters.

Had the soul masters not been hunting soul beasts, would this problem have arisen?

Whatever the case, these statements could not be justified. Who could decide whose fault it was in these matters? Did it still matter anymore at that point? More importantly, what course would mankind take in regards to the soul beasts’ revenge?

…

Mo Lan truly lived up to her reputation as an outstanding leader. After ending the call to Tang Wulin, she immediately bustled about. She headed to the Central Army Corps personally and assumed the leading role of the Central Army Corps first.

More than half of the military officers in the Central Army Corps had vanished. There was no doubt that they had already headed over to Spirit Pagoda. Even so, there were still some military officers remaining.

Due to severe losses of the three great fleets, the most powerful force left in mankind’s legion was the Central Army Corps.

Mo Lan mobilized the Central Army Corps and deployed them to Shrek City by using the fastest mode of transportation, the soul train. She ordered them to reach Shrek City in five days.

Fortunately, those departed military officers did not manage to unleash any destructive actions before they left. After two days worth of hard work and effort, the situation at the military side had been stabilized at last. The order of the city was preserved with great effort. That being said, the massive shadow still lurked and enshrouded the entire continent.

More and more soul masters were gathering around the Spirit Pagoda’s headquarters, numbering in the hundreds, if not more than a thousand. In just two short days, more than two thousand soul masters with significant cultivation bases had gathered there.

The most terrifying part of the situation was that almost all the powerhouses from the War God Hall including the Skycrosser Douluo had already arrived at the Spirit Pagoda and became a part of the soul beasts’ forces.

…

“Your Highness, why don’t you seize the opportunity to round up Tang Wulin and the rest at one swoop the other day?” Di Tian attempted to tone down his attitude as much as possible in order to prevent triggering the rage of Gu Yuena once again.

No one had seen Gu Yuena after that day. She had returned to the Spirit Pagoda and shut herself in her room.

There was no doubt that the Beasts were very satisfied with the operation this time. It was an outcome that had taken many years of preparation. It could be said that the operation shocked the entire continent immensely.

Within two short days, there was already a large number of soul masters under their control gathered around the Spirit Pagoda. These soul masters were obedient and submissive. They became a part of the soul beasts due to the incredible control effect of Gu Yuena’s Dragon God Core.

It was strange that Gu Yuena did not display any emotional fluctuation at Di Tian’s query. It seemed that her entire person was already much calmer after two days. Her emotions had gone back to normal as well. It felt like the grand event that made the entire continent shiver in fear had not happened.

“Let me ask you this, Di Tian. What is the final result that you hope for?” asked Gu Yuena indifferently.

Di Tian was stunned for a moment. Then, he said without the slightest hesitation, “I wish to return to the ancient times, of course. I wish to return to the time when we were in control of the entire continent. Our soul beasts are the main leaders of the Douluo Continent. Under your control, the Douluo Continent will certainly return to a period of prosperity like the ancient times during our soul beasts’ reign.”

Gu Yuena heaved a sigh softly. There was a wisp of disappointment in her gaze. “Is that really what you wish for?”

Di Tian was stunned by her question. In an instant, he suddenly felt calmer. He had lived for a few hundreds of thousand years in this world after all. Although he had not truly lived as long as eight hundred thousand years, his cultivation base had reached that level and he was definitely the most intelligent creature in the soul beasts’ world.

“So are you saying… you’re worried about the lord of the plane and the Ancient Eternal Tree’s future awakening?” Di Tian immediately realized the point of her question.

Nevertheless, Gu Yuena shook her head. “No, it’s not that simple.”

“When I first awakened from the deep sleep back in those years, I had the same ideology as you. I wanted to integrate myself into human society and learn about them so I could annihilate them in the end and bring glory back to our soul beasts. We had been constantly working hard to achieve that goal over the years too. Yet, I gained more and more understanding of mankind’s clan as I learned more and more about them.”

“Frankly, humans possess deep-rooted bad habits. They are greedy, selfish and will spare no effort for their own selfish motives. In fact, they even tried to destroy our habitat. However, we must also acknowledge that humanity has its strengths too. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to develop to today’s scale. Even the Divine Realm is led by humans. No matter which planet the Divine Realm was created on, mankind was still the most powerful clan in the end.”

At this point, she paused for a moment. Di Tian had a look of deep pondering as well.

If this was the past, Di Tian would certainly blame this on the relationship between Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin subconsciously. However, they had waged a full-scale war against mankind. In fact, Gu Yuena did not even mind cutting ties with Tang Wulin. As such, her statement was undoubtedly the voice of conscience worthy of ponderation.

“Humanity has its strengths too, which can be seen particularly on some outstanding human beings. They are intelligent, persistent, honest, kind, indomitable and more importantly, they possess the creative power that we don’t.”

“Creative power?” Di Tian looked toward her in slight astonishment.

Gu Yuena nodded. “That’s right. The power of creativity. Think about this. How many years have we dominated the entire continent before mankind? How many soul devices had we developed? If you were to think from a more extreme point of view, I’m afraid it’s not that easy for us to destroy a planet if we want to. We wouldn’t even have a clue as to how to do it.”
