The Legend of the Dragon King Chapter 1960 - The Evolution Of Planets

Chapter 1960 The Evolution Of Planets“It’s true that mankind is constantly destroying this world, but similarly, humans are also using their creative powers to bolster their intelligence which results in their need for more resources. They are constantly advancing and rely on their creative power to leave us behind. This renders us incapable of competing against them and withdrawing from the stage gradually. The most important reason for the extinction of us soul beasts is that we were far less powerful than mankind. As a result, we must face the meaning of human existence and not just purely try to annihilate them.”Di Tian vaguely understood. He inquired closely, “So what should we do then?”

Gu Yuena did not answer his question directly but continued to speak, “I’ve contemplated meticulously from the other point of view. When we were fighting against the abyssal plane in the past, I channeled the large amount of abyssal energy devoured by the Silver Dragon Spear to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform so that the miniature world could be completely stabilized. As the core of our foundation, I believe that you can see the evolution of Ten Thousand Beast Platform. The core of this Ten Thousand Beast Platform is the Dragon God Core. With the infusion of such a large amount of energy, it has turned into the best living space for us now. Then, do you know how much of the abyssal energy I have devoured?”
Di Tian shook his head in confusion. In his view, the Ten Thousand Beast Platform had been elevated three times more than before at the very least. Indeed, it was ten times more stable than before, allowing it to contain more soul beasts.
Gu Yuena said, “I’d say about one-hundredth.”
Di Tian was startled. He could not help saying, “What? Only one-hundredth? But you devoured the Spirit Monarch that was ranked second in the abyssal plane and so many monarch and king-ranked powerhouses! How could it possibly only amount to one-hundredth?”
Gu Yuena sneered. “Who do you think the abyssal Sage King was? As the overlord of the abyssal plane, he was the core of everything in the abyss. Moreover, it was a plane that could not be measured with ordinary units. Even so, it doesn’t mean that each leader of the one hundred and eight levels of the abyss possesses ten to twenty percent of the abyssal energy. Most of the energy comes from the abyssal plane itself. The abyssal Sage King is only the leader and not the plane itself.”
“Does the Ancient Life Tree not need to digest life force in a deep sleep despite being the life core of Douluo Continent? This is the consumption of one plane by another. Judging by its rank, the abyssal plane has even surpassed the Douluo Continent plane. I can’t describe it as a snake devouring an elephant. It is akin to a tiger devouring a lion. Thus, it needs a very long time to digest and absorb. On the other hand, it will certainly result in the Douluo Continent plane’s evolution soon afterward.”
“I believe that you’ve surely felt it already. As the powerhouse that has stood on the pinnacle of this plane, you should have already known, right?” Gu Yuena asked Di Tian.
Di Tian hesitated for a moment before he nodded. “Yes, it has felt slightly different recently. My cultivation base that had solidified for so many years is actually wriggling restlessly in a manner that seems to want to break through to a higher rank. Although it is only a vague feeling, I can genuinely feel it.”
Gu Yuena nodded and said, “This is due to the plane’s evolution. If one were to appraise it using the rank of mankind’s soul masters, rank-99 is the bottleneck of Limit rank and achieving rank-100 allows one to achieve Godhood. Then, rank-100 is no longer the ceiling following the evolution of the plane, and humans could achieve an even higher rank. Upon reaching such a state, the Douluo Continent world will no longer just be mankind’s world. It is going to be a demigod and even close to a Divine Realm itself. Even Divine Realms of lower rank are no longer considered basic planets anymore.”
Di Tian’s entire body shook once. “Is this the evolutionary path of the planet?”
Gu Yuena said, “That’s right. It is surely going to happen. Moreover, I can’t estimate the final destination of the plane’s evolution yet. It might be rank-105, rank-110 or even higher. We will have to see the extent of the entire plane’s evolution. You will be a beneficiary as an inhabitant of this planet. In other words, the God rank that you dreamt of in the past, you may be able to achieve the breakthrough on the Douluo Continent not long after without the need of a Divine Realm.”
Di Tian drew in a cold breath. “So you’re saying that…”
Gu Yuena heaved a sigh softly. “You were asking me of my concerns earlier. I’m worried that I am not the true lord of this plane. I have the Dragon God core, but it is not complete. I may not necessarily be able to mobilize the Dragon God core even after the lord of the plane’s awakening and evolution on this plane. I’m worried that the real Divine Realm of the Douluo Continent could return at any moment.”
“I believe that you heard Tang San’s words the other day. I was so close to them. As the God King, he made a statement in such a determined manner. That belief of his was an exceedingly terrifying power even in the cosmos. You witnessed Tang San’s abilities as well. His fighting capacity aside, his ten-thousand-year plan to scheme against the abyssal plane, could you and I have done it? As the leader of the God Kings, he has control over the entire Divine Realm. Let alone me, perhaps even the reborn Dragon God is incapable of rivaling him. If we were to destroy the entire human world, what is going to happen when the Divine Realm returns one day?”
Di Tian shivered in fear. He was only considering the Douluo Continent earlier. As Gu Yuena had said, they would still stand a chance against the humans with the Dragon God core, even if the lord of the plane had awakened. Nevertheless, Di Tian could not help feeling a sense of weakness at the mention of the incomparably powerful God King Tang San.
Gu Yuena stood up and made her way to the window slowly. She looked to the gigantic Ancient Eternal Tree in the distance. “How do you think I managed to convince the Azure Oxpython and the Titan Giant Ape in the past? They were the companions of the God King Tang San after all. If I were to cause the utter destruction of mankind, do you think I could still convince them?”
Di Tian said in an exploratory manner, “So you’re saying…”
Gu Yuena heaved a soft sigh. “The conflict between mankind and our soul beasts can’t be reconciled. It was that way before at least. The enmity between them and us is too deep. I believe that it is the same for you as well as the rest of the soul beasts. You are willing to go all out for this fury, yet I can’t because I’m your leader. I bear the responsibility of passing down the lineage of my subjects for generations. We have the upper hand now, but we can’t proceed with the final annihilation of mankind.”
Di Tian frowned ever so slightly. Gu Yuena’s words today had genuinely shocked him. Her words were particularly potent because she said it after the operation was in full swing and they had a clear advantage.
Yes! Would it benefit the soul beasts’ future if they were blinded by rage and hatred at this point?
Nevertheless, as Gu Yuena had mentioned, the conflict between humans and soul beasts could not be reconciled. Under such circumstances, could it be that they could just forgive and forget? The soul beasts would never agree to that either. One should know that the soul beasts resurrected in Ten Thousand Beast Platform were all filled with profound hatred for humanity.
“Your Highness, what should we do then?” Di Tian asked in an exploratory manner.
A dash of bitterness flashed past Gu Yuena’s exquisite face. “Actually, I don’t know either. We shall wait and see. We still have three more days. Everything shall be revealed in that time. Mankind is intelligent. They will figure out a way to ensure their own survival. Let’s see what they are going to do before we decide on our next plan.”
Di Tian felt like he was at a loss, but he thought that Gu Yuena’s statement must be correct too.
This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for soul beasts that they could not let pass no matter the cost.
