Chapter 238: Gu Yuena

"Can you all sense the aura of the Yin Yang Chaos Phoenix?"

Shi Quan asked the Soul Spirits in his mind.

"Boss, that Yin Yang Chaos Phoenix didn't perform a Sacrifice; it simply passed its power on to you," Tian Meng was the first to speak.

Yin Lao also spoke up, "Emperor, I feel that the Yin Yang Chaos Phoenix has not died. After giving you its power, it seems to have fallen into a deep slumber, returning to the Earth's core with an extremely faint life aura."

"Is that so?" Shi Quan lowered his head to look at the ground. Previously, while he was absorbing the power of the Yin Yang Chaos Phoenix, his range of perception had been limited, so he hadn't noticed this.

"Let's check the system rewards first."

With a thought, Shi Quan's gaze fell into the system's Storage Space.

Immortal Bean: A magical food from the Dragon Ball world, possessing extremely powerful restorative properties. As long as a person is not dead, it can instantly restore physical strength and energy, readjusting the body to its optimal state.

Note: This reward includes one Immortal Bean seed and ten Immortal Beans!

"Dragon Ball's Immortal Bean?!" Shi Quan's eyes were filled with irrepressible joy.

It was truly worthy of being a Soul Master Treasure Chest after integration; it actually produced such a treasure. Judging from the description, the Immortal Bean's recovery also includes energy; this can completely be treated as an extra life.

And most importantly, this reward also included an Immortal Bean seed!

As long as he planted the seed, he could obtain a continuous supply of Immortal Beans.

"Extract Immortal Beans."

With a thought, ten crystal-clear emerald Immortal Beans and a dark yellow seed appeared in Shi Quan's hand.

"So this is an Immortal Bean." Shi Quan picked one up and examined it carefully from top to bottom. It looked just like an ordinary broad bean; it was hard to imagine that such an ordinary bean contained such powerful energy.

"When I go back, I'll share some with Lingling and the others. Immortal Beans are precious. Although the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is good, it is unguarded after all. It would be best to take some spring water and soil from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to plant them in the Hundred Treasure Bag."

While lost in thought, with a movement of his mind, Shi Quan's figure soared into the air. The surrounding air turned into thrust, pushing Shi Quan's figure to rise upward.

Whoosh.

"Shi Quan!"

Shi Quan, who had just flown out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, suddenly retreated violently. His heart was shocked, and Soul Rings appeared beneath him as he assumed a combat stance.

There was actually someone inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. With his current Mental Power, he should have been able to easily detect even a Title Douluo, yet he hadn't noticed any abnormalities before coming out.

This sudden voice inevitably made Shi Quan feel somewhat guarded.

"No need to be nervous, I have no hostility toward you."

The calm voice sounded again, and Shi Quan's gaze settled on Gu Yuena. Her beautiful figure was as perfect as if crafted by the heavens.

"Who are you?" Shi Quan looked at the silver figure before him with wariness; he was in no mood to admire a beauty right now.

The silver figure before him had no energy fluctuations around her body, looking just like an ordinary person. But could an ordinary person evade his mental detection? Of course not, so it could only mean that the person before him was terrifyingly strong.

The silver figure introduced herself: "You can call me Gu Yuena."

"Gu Yuena?" Upon hearing this name, Shi Quan's pupils couldn't help but constrict. Another title for the silver figure before him immediately surfaced in his mind: "One of the Dragon God's clones—the Silver Dragon King!"

"What do you want with me?" Shi Quan's figure slowly landed, and he retracted his Soul Rings, because he knew that since Gu Yuena appeared here, she must have already absorbed the Dragon God's Heart. He was definitely no match for Gu Yuena right now.

Moreover, Gu Yuena had also said she had no hostility toward him; since that was the case, there was no need to be nervous.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena said, "It seems you have guessed my identity."

Shi Quan nodded, "I have sensed your existence from the Dragon God's dragon soul."

"I have come to thank you personally for the kindness you have shown the Dragon Clan, and to see the human world as it is now." A soul-stirring smile appeared on Gu Yuena's face, "I just didn't expect to happen upon you ascending to become a Child of Heaven's Luck, so I helped you shield your aura; you could say I did you a big favor."

"Child of Heaven's Luck?" Shi Quan looked at Gu Yuena in confusion.

Gu Yuena's smile remained unchanged, "It seems you don't know much about the Child of Heaven's Luck?"

"Please enlighten me."

"When certain specific attributes—such as life, earth, water, spirit, yin, and yang—surpass known limits in some way, there is a chance to receive the planet's recognition. Once recognized by the planet, one can ascend and become a Child of Heaven's Luck."

Gu Yuena pointed at Shi Quan and continued: "You are in this situation. The power of that old Phoenix contained the Source Power of Douluo Star. After you absorbed its power, it caused the power within your body to completely transform. The possibility of ascending to Child of Heaven's Luck through a single attribute is extremely low, but you possess not only life, earth, but also yin, yang, and spirit attributes within you. The synergy of these attributes has brought your possibility of becoming a Child of Heaven's Luck to an extremely high degree. As long as you absorb its power, you will ascend to Child of Heaven's Luck one hundred percent."

"Generally speaking, the position of Child of Heaven's Luck is mostly vacant. Unless absolutely necessary, a planet will not give birth to a Child of Heaven's Luck. There are only two possibilities for the birth of a Child of Heaven's Luck: one is the planet's autonomous choice of succession, and the other is your kind of natural ascension."

"Succession is picking the best among the mediocre when needed; it is the planet itself needing to ascend and having to find someone to lead the planet toward greater strength."

"Your kind of natural ascension is forcing the planet to choose you. A situation like yours is an existence rarely seen throughout the ages. Because you can break the planet's limits and possess the potential to lead the planet to a higher level, the planet itself does not need to accumulate for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years to reach its own limit before selecting someone."

"Becoming a Child of Heaven's Luck is equivalent to becoming the core of the entire planet. The entire planet's focus will be placed on you, assisting your growth. Your luck and cultivation speed will receive astonishing improvements until you break the world's limits."

"The current cultivation limit for humans in this world is level 99, and the cultivation limit for Spirit Beasts is 990,000 years. Breaking the limit, in your human terms, is becoming a god. You belong to natural ascension, having broken past boundaries, which means you possess the potential to naturally become a god."

"After you become a god, Douluo Star itself also receives feedback, and only then do the lives on the planet have the opportunity to have the possibility of becoming gods under the nourishment of this energy."

"Wait a moment." Shi Quan interrupted in confusion, "Can't Douluo Star itself give birth to godhoods? If I remember correctly, the Sea God and the Angel God were godhoods born autonomously by Douluo Star, right?"

Gu Yuena sneered, pointed at the sky, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, and continued to explain: "What you said is indeed a fact. Douluo Star did once have people become gods, but basically, they were not natural ascensions, but rather from another world—that is, the so-called reception from the God Realm."

"Especially those gods you speak of, like the Angel God and the Sea God, who relied on faith to achieve godhood; it would not be an exaggeration to call them traitors to the world. They absorbed the Faith Power of the lives of this world to become gods, yet they went to the God Realm. Furthermore, relying on the inheritances left in the Lower Realm, they are still continuously absorbing the faith of this world, plundering the nutrients that should have been fed back to the planet's core by the lives of this world to promote the world's further growth."

"The God Realm is actually like a bloodsucker to every planet, pressing down on this world, absorbing its nutrients, and restricting the growth and development of every planetary world!"

"As the Child of Heaven's Luck, the responsibility you shoulder is to let the world ascend. When your strength rises to God King, this planet will also ascend, becoming an existence equal to the God Realm."

"Beneath the God Realm, there are many worlds like Douluo Star. To the God Realm, these planetary worlds are all resource planets available for absorbing nutrients to push its own growth and ascension. In human terms, they are like food."

"And now, among this food, a threat has suddenly appeared—not only refusing to be eaten but preparing to leap up and become an existence equal to it. Do you think the God Realm will allow this situation to happen?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Quan's expression also grew more solemn, "So you mean that you helped me conceal my aura as a Child of Heaven's Luck because you were worried about being discovered and eradicated by the gods of the God Realm."

"That's right." Gu Yuena nodded.

Shi Quan narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said: "If I choose to accept the God Realm's reception and strengthen the God Realm, the gods shouldn't move against me, right?"

Gu Yuena's expression remained unchanged, but she continued calmly: "What you said is indeed correct, but that is only a certain possibility. If I hadn't helped you conceal your aura, the gods wouldn't have given you any chance at all. For any existence that could threaten the God Realm, they would eradicate it at the first opportunity."

"Furthermore, if you choose to accept the God Realm's reception, then you must accept the God Realm's power. The God Realm will then impose restrictions on you, and your future path of growth will also be limited. Wanting to break through will become even more difficult. But if you help Douluo Star ascend, it is different, because you achieved godhood by relying on your own power, and your future path will be much smoother."

"The question is, are you willing to be restrained by the God Realm?"

Having said this, Gu Yuena stopped, her beautiful purple eyes staring fixedly at Shi Quan, waiting for his reply.

Shi Quan looked at Gu Yuena quietly. He was pondering, pondering the truthfulness and purpose of Gu Yuena's words.

The fact that there are restrictions on attaining the position of a deity can actually be seen from the original work; otherwise, why would the numerous deities of the God Realm each need to pass their power on to others?

However, Shi Quan could not fully believe Gu Yuena's words either. After all, this was his first time dealing with Gu Yuena, and he was not even clear on her character design himself. He only had detailed content regarding the first Douluo, and he did not know much about the content of the second or third, most of which he had already forgotten.
