Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

The Life God King looked up at the high sky.

Her eyes widened in shock at everything before her.

Her mouth slightly opened.

The scene unfolding before her felt beyond belief.

After all, in this world, no one understood life better than she did. Once she had determined that Gu Yuena could not be saved, it meant she definitely could not be saved.

Not even the Heavenly King Lao Zi could change that.

But despite that certainty, could it be that the situation was taking an unexpected turn, like finding light amidst the darkness, a sudden twist in the road?

"Buzz!"

The stunningly beautiful woman with silver hair in the sky became increasingly corporeal, as the deathly aura inside her rapidly dissipated and was replaced by a rich vitality.

Luo Yu's gaze was filled with wild joy, brimming with hope.

His emotions today were like a roller coaster ride.

First, a breakthrough on the verge of death, then being pulled back by Gu Yuena, and finally having to watch his beloved sacrifice herself for him—an indescribable agony.

Now, seeing the Life-and-Death Talisman so effective, his spirit was lifting immensely.

He didn't even pay attention to the progress of merging the eleven Dragon King Origins within his body, instead fixating his gaze on the sky.

Fearing that some mishap might occur, leading to an empty joy.

"Rustle—"

The mysterious Stone Talisman that had been affixed to Gu Yuena's forehead began to lose color as the black and white energies disappeared, ultimately turning colorless.

It disintegrated into ash that drifted away with the wind, scattered between heaven and earth.

Gu Yuena's whole body erupted in intense white light, like a dazzling morning sun filled with vibrant life force.

Her long silver hair danced in the wind while her curvaceous figure flickered within the white light.

Her lengthy eyelashes trembled lightly.

Her eyelids slowly opened to reveal a pair of stunningly beautiful purple pupils, within which swirled colors of confusion.

She seemed as innocent as a newborn child.

"Is she... really saved?"

The Life God King watched a miracle of life unfold before her eyes and didn't know how to express her astonishment.

She had always been composed, orchestrating everything behind the scenes.

Even sneaking into Soul Land, she remained undetected by Luo Yu, who was an extremely cautious man, believing all to be coincidence.

But now she was utterly shaken by the scene before her.

"Nana!"

Luo Yu shouted with surprise.

His previously tense emotions finally relaxed, giving way to an indescribable joy.

Gu Yuena, hearing her name called, slowly got up in the air.

She moved her somewhat sluggish gaze over.

Looking at Luo Yu, her eyes conveyed a bit of confusion and bewilderment.

Seeing that vacant look in her eyes, Luo Yu's heart skipped a beat, and a buzzing filled his head.

No...

She couldn't have lost her memory, could she?

He hardly dared to think about it.

Was Gu Yuena still Gu Yuena...

After a long silence, Gu Yuena spoke with a voice cold as clinking ice cubes, yet touched with a hint of confusion and puzzlement.

"Brother Yu... Brother Yu?"

Luo Yu, whose heart had just settled, felt it rise to his throat again. With the Sacrificial Domain gone, he teleported into the sky.

He stared intently at the stunningly beautiful woman before him.

"Nana..."

"You... you haven't forgotten about me, have you?"

Gu Yuena's purple pupils shifted as if after a brief moment of mental stalemate, she regained her clarity, and all the events that had occurred flashed through her mind.

She clung tightly to Luo Yu's waist.

Bowing her head.

She pressed her cheek against the man's chest, deeply inhaling Luo Yu's scent.

"Brother Yu."

"I thought I was dead, so how come I can still see you?!"

She was both astonished and puzzled.

At that moment, Luo Yu let out a long breath, his worried heart finally settling down completely.

The dreaded scenario had not happened.

While embracing Gu Yuena, he couldn't help but curse himself for having seen too many melodramatic car accident scenes in his past life or various preposterous plots, leading him to believe that these scenarios were going to happen to him.

Geneva, damn authors!

He gently stroked Gu Yuena's hair and tenderly kissed her.

"Nana, it's alright now," he said.

"Do you realize how dangerous it was for you this time?"

Gu Yuena looked up at Luo Yu with her purple pupils hazy.

"I know, I surely do," she responded.

"But for you, anything is worth it."

When she sensed the condition of her body at that moment and felt the outrageously vigorous life force within,

she was utterly shocked.

"Brother Yu... why do I feel... feel..."

Luo Yu asked, "Feel what?"

The shock on Gu Yuena's face intensified further, as if she had realized something unbelievable.

"Why is it that I not only have no injuries, but I feel stronger than before?"

"Isn't that a good thing?" Luo Yu said with a smile.

"How is that possible."

The amazement in Gu Yuena's heart was indescribable; she knew the predicament she was in meant certain death. What kind of heaven-defying method had the man used to bring her back?

And...

She swallowed and said,

"Brother Yu, see for yourself."

As Gu Yuena activated her power, behind her shone a series of divine lights, revealing nine shimmering white Soul Rings.

They radiated a rich and potent life force.

"God King Realm, you've broken through to the God King?" Luo Yu was also taken aback.

Good gracious, was the Life-and-Death Talisman this powerful? It saved a person on the brink of death, even one who could be considered gone, and even helped them achieve a breakthrough?

To think Gu Yuena was previously on the verge of entering the God King Realm but hadn't quite made it, and now she had finally achieved her heart's desire.

The Life God King, standing by, was even more astounded upon seeing those nine white God Rings and feeling the life force emanating from them.

In his heart, he thought, "Why, why does this life force seem purer than the one I control?"

He looked deeply at Gu Yuena, wondering why she seemed more like the Life God King than he did!

"Brother Yu, you don't know what's happening?" Gu Yuena uttered in surprise, waiting for Luo Yu to solve her confusion.

The joy in her heart was beyond words.

Clinging tightly to Luo Yu's waist, she refused to let go.

Luo Yu felt the same way; there was no greater pain in life than deeply loving someone and then losing them, and no greater happiness than being reunited with a lost love.

Gu Yuena was now standing unharmed in front of him, and he felt as if his spirit was about to ascend.

"Cough cough."

"I can roughly guess."

Luo Yu recalled the phenomena he had observed earlier and the ancient characters that the Life-and-Death Talisman had revealed, and he analyzed,

"I have a sacred artifact, known as the Life-and-Death Talisman."

"I didn't understand it before."

"Now I have realized a bit."

"It is supposed to reverse life and death, transforming all of a person's deathly energy into life force."

"The more severe the deathly energy, the more terrifying the life force it turns into after the reversal."

Combining this with the vigorous life force now emanating from inside Gu Yuena, Luo Yu became even more certain of his speculation.

Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes widened after hearing this.

"Brother Yu, do you really possess such a heaven-defying treasure?"

"To reverse yin and yang, to resurrect the dead?"

Gu Yuena, who had seen much of the world, had never heard of such a divine object existing.

One that meant the more utterly one had died, the stronger one returned; this could no longer be simply described as a divine object.

And the man had used such a treasure on her?

"Brother Yu... you..."

Gu Yuena's expression was filled with emotion. Before she could even speak, Luo Yu silenced her.

With a kiss...

The stunning Life God King stood to the side, eyes wide open, feasting on their public display of affection, immersed in the tangy scent of romance...
