"You actually know about the matters up there too?" Gu Yuena raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her purple eyes. "Was it the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, or did that Water God tell you?"
She tilted her head slightly, her tone carrying a hint of scrutiny. Based on the current information, she could only speculate in this direction.
It couldn't be that Furina had some sort of precognitive ability, could it? That would be too exaggerated. These were matters at the level of the God Realm; even with precognition, who could foresee the intricate twists and turns occurring there?
Furina smiled candidly, her expression composed: "That's right, it was indeed through communication with Lord God of Destruction that I learned of this."
She certainly couldn't say she had read the script; even when facing the God of Destruction, she hadn't confessed that point, merely stating vaguely that she had 'other channels.'
Now that she had the backing of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, she was full of confidence and could naturally use them as a shield to brush off inquiries.
Furthermore, given the current situation, Gu Yuena knew almost nothing about her side.
The information gap between the two parties was enormous, and this was Furina's greatest advantage. Gu Yuena would only speculate based on what she knew and would never think of that absurd possibility.
Gu Yuena nodded slightly, the vigilance in her eyes fading a bit: "I see. Then it's not so surprising."
"Well then, let me tell you about the situation in the God Realm in detail." Furina cleared her throat, her expression becoming serious.
"Before the previous God Kings of Evil and Benevolence departed, they handed over the management rights of the Divine Realm's Core to Sea God Tang San. Since taking office, this Sea God's ambitions have gradually surfaced, as he wishes to completely grasp the power of the God Realm. Because of this, the veteran God King, the God of Destruction, is exceptionally dissatisfied with him."
She paused, her tone carrying a hint of mockery: "Unfortunately, that Tang San is very good at maintaining appearances, always speaking from a moral high ground and packaging himself as a moderate who thinks only of the God Realm's welfare. Although the God of Destruction finds him eyesore, he has never been able to do anything about him."
"As for the Goddess of Life..." Furina shook her head slightly, "She is too merciful and kind. She doesn't support her husband's more radical ideas and is instead often misled by Tang San's high-sounding rhetoric."
"The current Gods of Benevolence and Evil are also a couple, but they were promoted not long ago and their strength is still shallow. Additionally, having been manipulated by the previous Gods of Benevolence and Evil, they have no interest in the power of the God Realm and only want to live their own small lives quietly. When it comes to voting, they consistently choose to abstain and remain neutral, after all, they consider themselves too young and unsuitable to be managers."
After listening, a cold sneer curled at the corner of Gu Yuena's lips.
"Heh..." That laughter was as cold as ice, carrying a faint mockery, "It sounds like the God Realm is truly a tangled mess. With several God Kings gone or retired, only two veteran God Kings are left struggling to hold things together."
She stood up, her long silver hair fluttering gently in the breeze. Those purple eyes looked into the distance, as if piercing through layers of space to see that place she both hated and yearned for.
"If Soul Beasts could become gods..." she murmured, her tone carrying a trace of vague melancholy, "I might find a way to sneak into the God Realm and release the Golden Dragon King. I'd let him throw the God Realm into chaos and have those gods fight him to the death. Once both sides are exhausted, I would lead an army of Soul Beasts who have become gods to reap the fruits of victory, devour the Golden Dragon King, and achieve the position of Dragon God."
She turned around and looked at Furina, a dangerous light flashing in her eyes: "It's a pretty good plan, right?"
Furina nodded, but then shook her head: "The idea is good, but unfortunately, Soul Beasts cannot become gods. You simply cannot achieve that."
She took a step forward and looked directly into Gu Yuena's eyes: "Besides, even without considering that, with your current condition, Sister Gu Yuena, wanting to sneak into the God Realm without being discovered by the five Great God Kings is probably a fantasy, isn't it?"
Gu Yuena was silent for a moment before finally nodding slightly: "Indeed, it cannot be done."
She sat down again, her tone carrying a hint of fatigue: "And even if it's as you say, to throw the God Realm into chaos, relying solely on the Golden Dragon King probably isn't enough. It might even cause the God Realm to temporarily unite and become like a solid iron plate."
"But over time..." a sharp glint flashed in her eyes, "trouble will eventually break out. Those gods in the God Realm are not truly united beings."
She paused and looked directly at Furina: "But what does this have to do with our cooperation? You don't want me to disrupt the God Realm just to create an opportunity for that God of Destruction, do you?"
"Naturally not." Furina waved her hand, "I have already found an opportunity for Lord God of Destruction. It's just that the opportunity needs to be expanded further to make Sea God Tang San show even greater flaws before we can take action rightfully."
She leaned forward and lowered her voice: "What I'm worried about is that when pushed to the brink, that Sea God might try to take everyone down with him and make things difficult for everyone to resolve. For example, by releasing the Golden Dragon King."
"When that time comes," Furina looked into Gu Yuena's eyes and said word by word, "I will need you, the Silver Dragon King, to help out. Of course, we will also give you a reward—"
She smiled slightly, her voice soft yet certain: "To let you become the Dragon God."
Gu Yuena's pupils constricted slightly.
Beside her, Di Tian's body tensed slightly, his eyes flashing with shock and anticipation.
However, Furina waved her hand, changing the subject: "But to be honest, I don't agree with the method of devouring. In my view, that is the worst choice."
She blinked, a mischievous smile appearing on her face: "I actually have a better suggestion. Why don't you find yourself a Child Groom!"
"...What?" Gu Yuena was stunned.
Di Tian's eyelid twitched violently.
Furina, however, became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, completely failing to notice the subtle expressions of the two: "As long as you unite with him, the offspring born will naturally possess the Bloodlines of both the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. By letting that child's Bloodlines undergo Fusion, they can achieve the position of Dragon God. Isn't this much safer than the risk of devouring the Golden Dragon King?"
She added seriously: "Of course, I ask that you discipline your child well when the time comes. Don't raise a brat who only has power and uses any means necessary to become stronger."
Gu Yuena fell silent.
Di Tian stood to the side, his eyelid twitching as if having a cramp, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Listen to this, is this a solution a human can propose?
To have the noble Lord find a... Child Groom? And even have that Child Groom inherit the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline? Then unite and give birth to the Dragon God?
This, this was just too...
He took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm, but his twitching eyelid betrayed the stormy waves in his heart.
Gu Yuena remained silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly, her tone carrying an unfathomable meaning:
"Are you... serious?"
