Chapter 15: The King's Responsibility, the Women's Reactions

the Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

"Only he himself has the memories of his past life, just as he must alone face the extraterrestrial demons and the Divine Realm; the pressure in his heart can be imagined how great it is."

Gu Yue Na felt somewhat moved.

Actually, the pressure in her heart as the Silver Dragon King is likewise overwhelming.

Gu Yue Na understood that, as the Sovereign in the hearts of all soul beasts, if she chose to go to war with the Divine Realm, all soul beasts would follow her.

The feeling of bearing a heavy burden is that all her subordinates eagerly await every word she says.

Gu Yue Na did not want the soul beasts to continue being harmed, nor did she want the originally free soul beasts to become slaves; therefore she must resist the oppression of the Divine Realm.

In the past, whether it was Di Tian or other fierce beasts, they had always placed their hopes on Gu Yue Na, expecting her to lead them to change the fate of the soul beast clan, but her pain and loneliness had no one to confide in.

For Gu Yue Na, who had truly witnessed the mighty power of the Divine Realm's god kings, she knew just how slim the chances were of achieving this.

Nevertheless, even so, Gu Yue Na could not show it; she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

Otherwise, even she, the Sovereign of the soul beasts, would fear the Divine Realm—how could other soul beasts have the courage to oppose it?

But now it's different.

Through this diary copy, Gu Yue Na saw Luo Ye, knowing Luo Ye was willing to take on this responsibility and help her change the fate of the soul beast clan.

Even though she had never met Luo Ye, after reading the content of the diary, she inevitably developed some fondness for Luo Ye.

Of course, this fondness has nothing to do with romantic feelings; rather, she acknowledged the other's identity as the Child of Fate, knowing Luo Ye is someone she can trust and a future partner who can fight alongside her.

"Looks like I'll still need to find an opportunity to meet him."

Gu Yue Na looked at Luo Ye's name on the diary, and a brilliant light flashed in her purple vertical pupils.

The Extreme North.

"Snow Emperor, look at this guy's meaning—back in our past lives, did we also fight the Divine Realm together with him?"

The Ice Emerald Emperor Scorpion, known as the Ice Emperor, blinked its eyes, looked at the Ice Snow Maiden before it, and asked a question.

The Snow Emperor did not respond immediately, but only after confirming that the diary copy had no new content did she counter-ask.

"If there were an opportunity right before us, and winning it could change the fate of the soul beasts, do you think we would participate?"

The Ice Emperor heard this, froze for a moment, pondered briefly, then spoke seriously.

"Definitely!"

"As the King of the Ice Emerald Scorpions, and even the leader of the Extreme North, if such an opportunity arose, we two would absolutely not miss it, even if we had to stand opposed to the Divine Realm."

The Snow Emperor nodded slightly, gazed out over the endless icy snowfields, extended her fair, delicate hand to catch the falling snowflakes, and spoke softly.

"Because of the environment of the Extreme North, aside from ice-attribute human soul masters, few humans set foot here, so compared to other soul beast gathering places on the continent, the number of our soul beasts killed is the lowest."

"But it's obvious that as the number of human soul masters increases, someday there may even be a shortage of soul beasts, and by then the Extreme North will surely become their target."

"The soul beasts of the Extreme North can only avoid danger temporarily; they cannot be forever safe, so if Luo Ye is willing to change the soul beasts' situation, at least we two will definitely not stand by and do nothing."

A king must bear the responsibility of a king.

The Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor, as the two strongest fierce beasts of the Extreme North, need to bear the responsibility of guarding the soul beasts here.

Therefore, upon seeing Luo Ye state in the diary that she and Luo Ye were intimate friends in their past lives, having fought together against Tang San and the Divine Realm, both the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor immediately believed this claim.

A trace of a very human-like sentimental expression appeared on the Ice Emperor's face, and she muttered.

"I have always resented letting that Heavenly Dream idiot escape back then, never expecting it to ultimately become Luo Ye's soul ring."

The Snow Emperor was likewise surprised by this.

In fact, not only the Ice Emperor, but even the Snow Emperor envied, and even resented, the good fortune of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

A worthless ice silkworm, by stubbornly consuming ten-thousand-year ice marrow, reached a cultivation level they could not attain, just one step away from breaking through to become a million-year soul beast.

However, before the Child of Fate, the beloved son of the Douluo Continent's plane will, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm still fell far short.

To let Luo Ye grow faster, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm directly sacrificed itself, becoming his soul ring.

That's right; according to the Snow Emperor's speculation, this is very likely the work of the plane's will, and even in her view, the reason the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could find those ten-thousand-year ice marrow is probably because the plane's will had planned it all along.

While the Snow Emperor was making a reasonable speculation, the Ice Emperor beside her asked.

"Snow Emperor, since we already know the future from the diary copy, what should we do now?"

The Snow Emperor was left speechless by her question.

Faced with such a future, she also didn't know what to do.

After hesitating for a long time, the Snow Emperor slowly spoke.

"Let's just observe for now, see what Luo Ye will do next; if there's an opportunity, we can also try to seek him out in advance."

Heaven Water Academy dormitory.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er likewise finished reading the new content on the diary, their hearts could be said to be in a turmoil of mixed emotions.

As the younger sister, Shui Yue'er couldn't hold back and spoke first.

"Sister, have we also become connected to Luo Ye?"

Shui Bing'er hesitated a moment, then said thoughtfully.

"I think we received this diary copy probably because of our past-life relationship with Luo Ye."

"Just as Luo Ye said in the diary, only he was reborn; this loneliness is incomprehensible to others, and he must exert countless efforts to revive the past-life relationship."

"But the appearance of this diary, besides helping him grow faster, also enables us to learn these things in advance, making it easier to understand and return to his side, joining hands to fight the extraterrestrial demons and the Divine Realm."

"So, besides us two, there must certainly be others who also received this diary copy, especially those names Luo Ye mentioned."

Shui Yue'er was dazed, her eyes revealing pure stupidity.

She suspected that what she and her sister saw were not the same diary, wondering how her sister could see so much from the diary's content.

Shui Yue'er pursued the question.

"Then what should we do?"

Shui Bing'er looked at Luo Ye's name on the diary, shook her head, and said.

For now it's not needed; just wait—Luo Ye already said in the diary that he went to Shilaike Academy just to take Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong away, and once the purpose is achieved, he won't stay there any longer.

Perhaps, when the time comes, we can try to pull them into our Heaven Water Academy.
