Gu Yuena slumped to the ground, clutching her head as crystalline tears streamed down her cheeks.
She had lost everything—love, career, everything—all orchestrated by that Sea God.
She was a traitor to the spirit beast clan, having fallen for the enemy's son. And as the Silver Dragon King, she hadn't even realized her mind was being manipulated.
In the end, she'd foolishly walked right into the trap. Gu Yuena blamed the entire Sea God family for everything.
If not for Tang San, she wouldn't have lost everything. All her feelings for Tang Wulin had been nothing but lies and deception.
After that, Gu Yuena underwent a complete darkening right before Di Tian's eyes. Love had turned to hatred, and her sky-piercing resentment was so intense it made even Di Tian sweat.
If the current Gu Yuena were to inherit the Rakshasa God's throne, she might even leap directly to the level of a God King.
"Silver Dragon King, make your choice."
Seeing Gu Yuena's consciousness return, Di Tian spoke in a cold, indifferent voice.
Gu Yuena lifted her head at his words, her eyes slightly reddened, tear tracks streaking her cheeks as she looked at Di Tian.
Seeing that Di Tian had reached the level of a God King, Gu Yue Na was momentarily stunned, then her thoughts turned to Gu Xun.
"Has... Father returned?
Gu Yuena asked in a hoarse voice. Di Tian, however, did not answer her question.
"Silver Dragon King, make your choice. If you remain stubbornly obstinate, I shall purge you on behalf of my master."
Gu Yuena understood the master he referred to was the Dragon God—her own father. Lowering her head, she declared.
"I am a traitor to the Spirit Beast clan. Should I encounter the Sea God's family, I will personally slaughter them all, leaving not a single survivor."
As she spoke, a frigid killing intent surged around her. Hearing her answer, Di Tian withdrew his divine power.
"You'll have to deal with the consequences."
As Di Tian prepared to leave, Gu Yuena immediately called out to him.
"Wait!"
"What is it?"
Di Tian asked without turning back. Gu Yuena scanned the surroundings but found no trace of Gu Xun. She then pleaded,
"Please... let me atone to Father... I beg you..."
Gu Yuena adopted an extremely humble demeanor. She was now a sinner, no longer Di Tian's sovereign, but a criminal of the Spirit Beast clan.
Di Tian stood up. He likely never imagined he'd face Gu Yuena with such defiance again.
"...I will relay your request to the Lord."
Di Tian fell silent for a moment before vanishing. Gu Yuena remained kneeling in the pavilion, awaiting Gu Xun's response.
Within the Elf Planet
Gu Xun was fishing with Di Qiu'er and Yuanen Huihui. As usual, he could reel in anything except fish.
Gu Xun had installed a [Better Fishing] module. Guess what? He could now reel in soul bones, wild divine soul rings, metals, and battle armor—but never an actual fish.
Gu Xun jerked his fishing line sharply. A golden crystal, radiating a sacred aura, appeared.
"Master Brother, what did you catch this time?"
Yuanen Huihui and Di Qiu'er crowded around Gu Xun, curiously asking. Gu Xun held the crystal expressionlessly.
"An angel god's god position? Six..."
Gu Xun's face darkened. He never expected to reel in an angel god's god position—this was beyond absurd!
"God Position!"
Di Qiu'er gasped in shock. Fishing up the Angel God's divine throne? That was beyond absurd! Fishing was one thing, but divine thrones?
"This is ridiculous! Did you fish up Uncle Di Tian's god position as well?"
Di Qiu'er couldn't help but tease Gu Xun over the god position he'd reeled in. Hearing this, Yuanen Huihui felt Gu Xun seemed incredibly skilled.
"Brother Gu Xun is so amazing! He can fish for shoes, fishing rods, books, lotus leaves, soul bones, rare treasures, and even god positiona... while Huihui can only catch fish..."
Yuanen Huihui felt deeply impressed. While he could only catch fish, Gu Xun managed to reel in so many things—it was truly remarkable.
Gu Xun's expression darkened at the remark. He expressionlessly retrieved the angelic god position and prepared to cast his line again. Just then, Di Tian's voice suddenly echoed.
"Master, the Silver Dragon King wishes to atone for her sins."
"Hm? Atonement?"
Gu Xun froze for a moment before realizing he'd been so engrossed in fishing that he'd forgotten about the Silver Dragon King.
"Indeed, Master. The Silver Dragon King is kneeling outside, awaiting your command."
"Kneeling?"
Gu Xun was momentarily baffled. Wait... why is she kneeling there? However, he wanted to check on Gu Yuena's current condition, so he packed up his fishing rod and stood up.
"Let's go check."
"Yes, Master."
Gu Xun arrived at the pavilion on Tian Dou Planet and immediately spotted the slender silver figure kneeling there. He walked over.
Upon seeing Gu Xun, Gu Yuena's expression finally shifted, as if she'd glimpsed a new hope.
"Father..."
Gu Yuena immediately bowed her head toward Gu Xun, her forehead touching the ground. Seeing this, Gu Xun frowned.
"Rise. These tedious formalities can be dispensed with if possible. They're troublesome."
"Yes, Father."
Hearing this, Gu Yuena straightened her body slightly, but she had no intention of standing up. She remained kneeling like that.
