As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed into the dormitory, Ao Yao welcomed a brand new day.
The moment he opened his eyes, Ao Yao saw Wang Donger, who appeared to have been sitting in meditation Cultivating all night.
Was Wang Donger really this diligent in her Cultivation?
In his memory, Wang Donger had always been somewhat lazy by nature, unwilling to put effort into her Cultivation, to the point where she hadn't even reached level 25 when she entered Shrek Academy. It wasn't until she was defeated by Huo Yuhao and witnessed his diligent Cultivation that Wang Donger became truly motivated and began Cultivating seriously.
Her performance before enrolling could only be described as a complete waste of her talent.
But now, Wang Donger had actually been meditating and Cultivating all night?
Something's off... This is definitely strange!
[Let me see what to write about in today's diary!]
[Huh? It wants me to write a diary entry about the Sovereign? Which Sovereign? It couldn't be the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, could it?]
While writing the diary, Ao Yao deliberately glanced at Wang Donger's reaction. Seeing that she was still deep in Cultivation, he suppressed his suspicions and focused on writing.
[It really does seem to want me to write a diary entry about Gu Yuena.]
[What more is there to say about this character? She's downright Heaven-Defying, alright? Di Tian toiled tirelessly and remained fiercely loyal, placing all the hopes of the Spirit Beasts upon her.]
[Di Tian finally waited for Gu Yuena to recover from her injuries, planning to follow her lead in a great endeavor to change the fate of the Spirit Beasts.]
[Yet, under the leadership of this 'great' Sovereign of all Spirit Beasts, the Spirit Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest were nearly wiped out. Saying that less than one in ten land-based Spirit Beasts survived might even be an overstatement. Only the sea Spirit Beasts remained relatively intact.]
[And also, do you even remember you're the Silver Dragon King, sister!? You inherited the power of the Dragon God! Instead of thinking about avenging the Dragon God or revitalizing the Spirit Beasts, you go and fall in love with Tang Wulin? Let me remind you, Tang San schemed to seize the Luck of the Spirit Beasts. To the Spirit Beasts, Tang San is absolutely a sworn enemy. Of all the people you could fall for, you choose the son of Tang San!]
[Alright, fine. You could say that you had sealed your power, lost your memories, were picked up by Tang Wulin and taken home, and you didn't know his identity. That's understandable, I can accept that.]
[But what on earth were you thinking, just casually following Tang Wulin back to the God Realm?]
[Talking about sacrificing yourself for the greater good to achieve harmony between Spirit Beasts and humans... isn't that just pure love-addled thinking? But then again, you can't really blame her. After all, the Dragon God was also a bit of a love-addled fool. If it weren't for the Dragon God's wife and child passing away one after the other, he probably wouldn't have caused all the trouble that came later.]
[It's just... I find it really hard to imagine the scene when Gu Yuena meets Xiao Wu. Ugh... the mental image is too much, I genuinely can't picture it! The mighty Silver Dragon King, Sovereign of all Spirit Beasts, actually having to call a hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit 'Mom'...]
[Even if she doesn't call her 'Mom,' Xiao Wu would still be Gu Yuena's mother-in-law in name, an elder. Tsk tsk tsk... The fact that Gu Yuena could even accept this is truly absurd!]
[Of course, I think the more likely possibility is that Gu Yuena is actually the Reincarnation of Junior Brother Wa and just really enjoys calling people 'Mommy.']
BOOM!!!
A terrifying Aura instantly erupted from the depths of the Lake of Life, but it dissipated just as quickly—before it could fully explode, Gu Yuena, clinging to her last shred of rationality, restrained her impulsive urge.
Even so, Gu Yuena's draconic eyes were still filled with fury.
Or perhaps, beneath the anger, a thread of fear also stirred within Gu Yuena's heart.
She was furious at the content Ao Yao had recorded in the diary book, furious at the version of herself in the diary who had done such foolish and Heaven-Defying things. The fear was directed at the tragic final outcome for the Spirit Beasts.
The Spirit Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest nearly wiped out, with only the sea Spirit Beasts surviving?
During my leadership?
What a joke!
I am the Silver Dragon King! The being who inherited the wisdom of the Dragon God!
Under my leadership, the future of the Spirit Beasts will only grow brighter and brighter. How could it possibly turn into such an ending?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lioness beside her watched the entire content of the diary book without blinking, a glimmer of conviction also appearing in her eyes.
She knew their Sovereign couldn't be relied upon!
All that talk about how as long as she stayed by her side, she wouldn't be targeted by Tang San and wouldn't be in any danger... I think staying by *your* side is the greatest danger of all!
This can't even be called unreliable anymore... The Three-Eyed Golden Lioness now seriously suspected that her own Sovereign was an actor, lying low for years just to lead the Spirit Beasts to their doom!
Indeed, relying on the Sovereign was hopeless.
Maybe... I should find an excuse to slip away and go to the human World to find Ao Yao?
With the diary book, her safety should be guaranteed, right?
But... Di Tian said that humans are all hypocritical creatures. If Ao Yao was also like that, wouldn't she be in even greater danger?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lioness engaged in rare, serious thought for a moment, though of course, she didn't come to any concrete conclusion.
Her gaze shifted to Gu Yuena, and she tentatively spoke,'Sovereign...'
As soon as she uttered the title, Gu Yuena's nearly roaring, sharp voice suddenly erupted: 'For this king to call that rabbit 'Mom'? In your dreams!'
Uh...
Sovereign, that's not actually what I wanted to ask.
It seems the Sovereign's emotions are really unstable right now. Maybe... I shouldn't press my Luck and provoke her at this moment?
'Auspicious Beast, do you also believe this king will become a complete and utter failure as described in the diary book?'
Failure?
Didn't you ultimately Ascend to the God Realm and live happily ever after with Tang San's son Tang Wulin, with Tang San who plotted the Luck of the Spirit Beasts, and with Xiao Wu where everyone has their own separate terms of address?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lioness couldn't help but Make complaints internally.
She remembered the hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit Ao Yao mentioned.
Although her own Cultivation wasn't high, her age was actually equivalent to her Cultivation level. So, she had actually seen that rabbit who lived near the Lake of Life ten thousand years ago, though the rabbit hadn't seen her.
Just thinking about the Sovereign having to call that rabbit 'Mom' made the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness feel extremely uncomfortable.
It felt like ants were crawling all over her skin.
Not receiving a response from the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness, Gu Yuena took a deep breath and said solemnly, 'Although what is recorded in the diary book are things that will happen in the future, now that this king is aware of them, the future will absolutely not develop in the same way!'
'This king is your Sovereign... This king will definitely lead the Spirit Beasts to prosperity and glory!'
Mhm, mhm!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lioness quickly nodded her little head, though the corner of her mouth twitched imperceptibly.
Such an unreliable Sovereign, talking about leading the Spirit Beasts to prosperity and glory—who would believe such words?
