Chapter 1691: Chapter 1691: When Will We Find Peace
“Husband,” Gu Yuena suddenly called softly, her eyes closed.
“Hmm.” Tang Wulin tightened his arms a bit, holding her delicate body closer to his, providing her with a greater sense of security.
Gu Yuena’s starry eyes half-opened as she whispered, “When can we finally live a peaceful life?”
A flash of distress passed through Tang Wulin’s eyes. Indeed! When they were young, just getting to know each other, innocent and carefree, life was perhaps stable. But as they became Soul Masters and Tang Wulin grew day by day, that time might have been stable for him, but for Gu Yuena, it was a torment. Because back then, she was already burdened with the mission to avenge the Soul Beast Clan, and her heart was probably never at peace.
As they grew, this mission on her shoulders became increasingly heavy, and Tang Wulin, who was also maturing, began to face the terror brought by the Holy Spirit Cult, an evil Soul Master organization.
From that time onwards, they had no days of peace. Later, Tang Wulin and his companions encountered the terrifying catastrophe where Shrek Academy was destroyed by a Godkilling Fixed Soul Cannon. It was Gu Yuena’s timely appearance that saved him. But during that time, Gu Yuena temporarily lost her memory.
In the events that followed, they rarely had a day they could calmly spend together. Fighting the Holy Spirit Cult, resurrecting Shrek Academy, was Tang Wulin’s mission. As the leader of that generation of Shrek Seven Monsters, the only remaining powerhouse of Shrek Academy, he bore great responsibilities while the teachers of the academy sacrificed themselves to protect the students.
The Shrek Academy of today was gradually built by him during that time, not only facing the threat of the Holy Spirit Cult but also contending with various forces, including the Spirit Pagoda. How immense was the pressure he faced then?
And Gu Yuena, who had already entered the higher ranks of the Spirit Pagoda, how could the pressure on her be any less? The stronger they became, the more Gu Yuena, as the Silver Dragon King, should devour his Golden Dragon bloodline, striving toward becoming the Dragon God.
In truth, Gu Yuena was the purest, not inherited, but rather half of the bloodline split from the Dragon God. If she chose to devour Tang Wulin, the possibility of achieving the Dragon God might even surpass their son Lan Xuanyu.
But she didn’t, love made her unable to maintain her hatred, eventually leading to that moving scene where the Dragon Kings perished together and were buried in eternal ice, only to awaken thousands of years later.
After awakening, they still couldn’t be together, just as forgetful, each embarking on different paths. And when their memories were finally restored, they had to face the threat from the Deep Red Realm and the indistinguishable ally or enemy, the temporary ally, the Dragon Horse Federation. Moreover, they had to assist their son in achieving the Dragon God; when have they ever been at peace?
“I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have said that,” Gu Yuena said softly, seemingly sensing Tang Wulin’s emotional fluctuation.
Tang Wulin shook his head and said, “It’s all my fault, I never managed to give you a peaceful life. It’s me who should be apologizing, you’ve sacrificed so much, so much for me.”
“Not really,” Gu Yuena said softly, “During that time when it was just the two of us, you took care of me every day, I was very happy. That time was peaceful. Just a bit worried about our son.”
Tang Wulin naturally knew what time she was referring to and softly said, “How about I wash your feet for you again?”
“No,” Gu Yuena’s ears burned red instantly, turning around to hug him, “I’m sorry, husband. At that time, I had indeed regained my memories, just, just…”
“I understand, I understand completely,” Tang Wulin quickly interrupted her, though his eyes were slightly reddened. The pain in his heart was even stronger. He certainly understood that Gu Yuena didn’t want to acknowledge him just yet, just to enjoy more of the gentleness he brought her.
“I somewhat regret it, I should have acknowledged you earlier, and I could have spent more time with you,” Gu Yuena’s voice choked up, she who was always so strong, at this moment, appeared as fragile as a little girl.
“There’s no need to regret, we have plenty, plenty of time in the future. Once the Deep Red Realm matter is settled, there won’t be any war between the Douluo Federation and Dragon Horse Federation anytime soon. As long as Xuanyu becomes the Dragon God and establishes the Divine Realm, all problems will be solved. By then, we can reunite the family and live happily together. If father and mother can return by that time, it would be truly perfect. Throughout my life, the person I admire most is my father, even when he’s not in Soul Land, there’s always his legend. With the memory he left, he destroyed the abyssal plane, allowing Soul Land to evolve. If he comes back, then I won’t have to bear any responsibility. By then, we just need to live happily, perhaps so peaceful you’ll find it boring.”
Gu Yuena’s lips curved into a slight smile, “If it really is like that, that would be wonderful. How could it be boring? By then, Xuanyu and Xiuxiu would be married, and if they had children, we could play with our grandchildren!”
Tang Wulin couldn’t help but smile, “Grandchildren are a bit far off, and I wouldn’t force Xuanyu to have kids at a specific time. Maybe we should work hard? Having another one wouldn’t be bad! A daughter, looking like you, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
“Psh, who wants to have another one for you, do you want another bloodline issue like Xuanyu?” Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at him.
Tang Wulin chuckled, “If Xuanyu becomes the Dragon God, that problem should no longer exist. By then, our child might inherit the bloodline passed down from my father or my father’s side.”
Gu Yuena looked at him, their eyes meeting, both of their gazes appearing calm, the earlier emotions seemed to have been reined in.
All of this was contingent on their son being able to achieve the status of God King, and what Lan Xuanyu would face in that process, even they could not foresee. But they would do whatever it takes to help him complete it.
…
Half a month later.
Celestial Harmony Star.
A star’s death can occur in many ways, the most splendid, the one with the most transformations, should be the death of a constant star.
The decline of a constant star is divided into many stages: Yellow Giant Star, White Dwarf, Neutron Star—these are different stages, and they are also the most terrifying astronomical changes in the universe. The changes in gravitational force produced when a powerful constant star declines can cause nearby smaller celestial bodies to be obliterated.
And for a planet, when it completely loses its Life Force, it becomes no different from a meteorite, unable to even maintain the process of orbiting a constant star along its original gravitational path.
At this moment, Celestial Harmony Star is just like this.
On Celestial Harmony Star, silence prevails. The dark red color on the planet is receding like the tide.
Where the dark red recedes, the once lush and vibrant greenery is no more. What’s left is patches of ashen brown, filled with the scent of death, riddled with countless pits and craters.
And as the dark red coalesces, it begins to become brighter and brighter, dazzling dark red, filled with unparalleled concentrated energy. Having just devoured the complete Life Energy of such a giant planet, including the Life Core, the entire Deep Red Realm underwent a transformation.
The dark red has now turned into a blood-red; the entire Deep Red Realm is writhing violently. Gradually, in the sky, it transforms into an immense blood-red vortex. Through the centrifugal force generated by its spiraling, it maintains its own stability.
