Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 374 Tang Wulin's Choice
"Na'er, come here."

When Qian Gu Qi Tian called out softly, Gu Yue Na, who had been paying close attention to the movements in the sky, heard Qian Gu Qi Tian's call and did not hesitate for a moment. In the next instant, she arrived at Qian Gu Qi Tian's side.

Upon seeing that Qian Gu Qitian was safe and sound, Gu Yuena immediately threw herself into his arms.

Feeling the captivating aura emanating from Qian Gu Qitian, Gu Yuena couldn't help but wear a charming smile.

Qian Gu Qi Tian embraced Gu Yue Na's slender waist, pointed at Tang Wu Lin with his other hand, and whispered:
"Na'er, you have the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King. What do you plan to do with it?"

Gu Yuena did not answer directly, but looked up at Qian Gu Qitian and asked:

"Is the matter resolved?"

"No." After answering truthfully, Qian Gu Qi Tian changed his tone again, "But it's nothing. The vanished God Realm is just a bunch of clowns. I will settle down for a while and then I will be able to achieve the highest level. At that time, it will be easy to deal with them."

"Really?"

Gu Yuena looked at Qian Gu Qitian with suspicion.

Qian Gu Qitian's hand, which had been resting on Gu Yuena's waist, moved down and gently patted her. Gu Yuena's pretty face flushed slightly, and she just gave a proud hum.

"How dare you doubt your husband!"

Qian Gu Qi Tian embraced Gu Yue Na with both hands, rested his chin on her forehead, and whispered:

"Na'er, I promised you that you could do whatever you wanted. That was a vow I made to you."

Gu Yuena's thoughts seemed to return to the moment when she was six years old, the moment she made a pinky promise with Qian Gu Qitian.

She opened her red lips slightly:
"I just... don't want you to be too tired."

Qian Gu Qi Tian cupped Gu Yue Na's cheeks, his eyes filled with seriousness, and said very solemnly:

"Becoming the Dragon God is not your destiny. You are not the Dragon God. You are Gu Yuena, my eternal junior sister, the one I will always cherish."

Gu Yuena was stunned for a while, then suddenly, a beautiful smile bloomed on her face, as if dispelling all the coldness of the universe, and the most dazzling beauty in the world seemed to pale in comparison at this moment.

“Alright, then let’s not take any responsibility. Senior brother, let’s have a child. Let this child become the new Dragon God.”

This time, it was Qian Gu Qi Tian's turn to be stunned. The name "Lan Xuan Yu" unconsciously appeared in his mind.

I heard it's an anthropomorphic creature...

But soon, Qian Gu Qitian put this thing behind him. He believed that his and Gu Yuena's child would only inherit the mother's appearance and the father's wisdom!

The Eternal Heavenly King has temporarily released his control over Tang Wulin.

The moment the control was released, Tang Wulin's memories immediately flashed back to everything he had done while he was unconscious.

Guilt, anger, helplessness... all sorts of emotions intertwined, almost causing Tang Wulin's mental state to collapse.

After a long while, Tang Wulin finally regained some of his composure. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Qian Gu Qitian, his voice hoarse:
"Kill me, just kill me."

Seeing that even his father and grandfather were helpless against the person in front of him, Tang Wulin had given up all hope for himself.

The Great Equal to Heaven did not make a move, but merely asked a question:
Do you think your father is right?

"when……"

As Tang Wulin instinctively wanted to answer, the earnest teachings of his adoptive parents from his childhood gradually surfaced in his mind.

“I have met your adoptive father and adoptive mother.”

A single sentence from the legendary Qi Tian silenced Tang Wulin.

"They are all upright people, and they love you very much too. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left their homes just to earn a hundred-year-old soul for a child like you with no blood relation." "To be honest, if your grandfather Tang Hao hadn't wanted to kill me, I wouldn't have so easily broken ties with your family. Perhaps you and I could still be close friends, provided you put away your little schemes for my Na'er. Unfortunately, Tang Hao is a bit ungrateful."

"My feud with your family is irreconcilable, lasting until one side's bloodline is completely wiped out. But—"

The tone shifted from "Eternal Equal to Heaven" to...
"I can give you a choice."

As he spoke, Qian Gu Qi Tian raised two fingers.
"First, let me strip you of the Golden Dragon King bloodline, seal and alter your memories of this period, and let you return to the life of an ordinary, normal person."

Second, death.

"Don't rush to make a choice, I'll give you time to think it over."

Tang Wulin gazed silently at Qian Gu Qitian, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Can you tell me...why?"

Qian Gu Qi Tian said calmly, "I just don't want to see a kind couple lose their child."

Tang Wulin closed his eyes and took a deep breath:

"I choose one."

"Wise choice."

The praise of the emperor has lasted for millennia.

He stretched out his hand, and nine-colored divine light outlined an extremely complex array in the air.

A faint golden-red glow appeared inside Tang Wulin's body. Suddenly, a pain from the depths of his soul appeared. Tang Wulin's pupils shrank slightly. He wanted to let out a scream, but no sound came out.

He endured the pain of his power being gradually stripped away, and the sweat that seeped out of his body was instantly evaporated into water vapor.

A pattern of blue-gold chains appeared, and Qian Gu Qi Tian knew that this was the final seal on the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, and also the core of the Golden Dragon King's origin.

Without hesitation, Qian Gu Qi Tian broke the seal. Just as the Golden Dragon King's soul was about to revive, nine-colored chains emerged from the void, binding the newly restored Golden Dragon King tightly.

The Golden Dragon King, whose consciousness had just returned, was still in a daze, but he quickly noticed Gu Yuena beside Qian Gu Qitian. At that moment, the Dragon God's Heart pulsating within Gu Yuena's body was immediately recognized by the Golden Dragon King.

"My other half, have you... succeeded?"

Gu Yuena looked at the Golden Dragon King's soul and said calmly:
"The revival of soul beasts is just around the corner, and the Dragon God's true form is about to return. Give me your power."

The Golden Dragon King did not look at Gu Yuena, but instead looked at Qian Gu Qitian.

Qian Gu Qi Tian let out a soft murmur, the supreme bloodline comparable to the Dragon God dispelling the Golden Dragon King's last doubt.

It actively annihilated its own consciousness, merging its original core with the energy within the previous seventeen seals.

A golden-red divine core landed in Qian Gu Qi Tian's hand. After extracting the Golden Dragon King bloodline from Tang Wu Lin's body, Qian Gu Qi Tian used a nine-colored energy shield to protect Tang Wu Lin.

Subsequently, Qian Gu Qi Tian followed the same method, also extracting the Sea God's divine position from Tang Wu Lin's body.

Tang Wulin's cultivation level plummeted instantly, quickly returning to his previous Title Douluo level.

He lost consciousness and fell into a coma. With a single thought, Qian Gu Qi Tian made Tang Wulin disappear into the universe.

Seeing that everything had settled down, Gu Yuena asked, somewhat puzzled:

"Just let him go?"

"Parents who lose their children will be very sad."

"It's like...a child losing their parents..."
