Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

"Are you joking?"

Gu Yuena's purple pupils narrowed, her cold gaze fixed on the Life God King, her vigilance not diminished in the slightest.

A faint killing intent began to permeate the air.

"This isn't the kind of joke that's easy to make."

The smile on the Life God King's face gradually faded as he said to Luo Yu with due solemnity,

"Actually, my request for you is..."

"I hope you can rectify the chaos in the Divine Realm."

"What?"

Luo Yu's eyebrows arched quizzically as he looked over in scrutiny.

"You are the Divine King of the Divine Realm; what chaos is there to be rectified that would require our Luo Yu to step in?" Gu Yuena asked coldly.

The Life God King gave a bitter smile and shook his head.

"Although I am the Divine King of the Divine Realm, the Divine Realm is not mine."

"Especially since my combat power is the weakest among the Divine Kings, it's destined that I lack the right to speak."

Luo Yu asked seriously,

"What do you want to do? Just state your purpose, there's no need to beat around the bush here."

The Life God King sighed,

"A long time ago, I realized that the deities of the Divine Realm had a sense of superiority, believing themselves to be above all, looking down on the lowly myriad of living beings."

"Not just humans, even birds and beasts are disregarded by them."

"Such arrogance is very dangerous; it can make them increasingly cold-blooded, losing their respect and love for life."

"I think, if it weren't for the fact that my origin's Great Path led directly to life, I might have been assimilated into one of them, indifferent to life."

Luo Yu nodded slightly.

He acknowledged the Life God King's point.

In fact, not just in the Divine Realm, but even on the mainland, some people who control great power or suddenly possess tremendous strength can forget themselves and commit horrific acts that show no regard for life.

The Life God King's brows furrowed, seemingly recalling some cruel occurrence.

"Although I am determined to change the status quo of the Divine Realm, I don't ask them to love living creatures more; at the very least, they should show some respect. In my eyes, life is equal."

"But no matter what I do, I can't change their deep-rooted mindset."

Luo Yu laughed.

"Of course you can't change them."

"They are all vested interests, content with the feeling of looking down on the mortal realm; how could they change because of just one person?"

The Life God King sighed.

"Yes."

"I alone can't change anything. All I can do is ensure my own conduct is correct, but it's hard to bear seeing lives mercilessly trampled on by the deities."

Luo Yu had a strange look in his eyes.

This Life God King really was an oddity within the Divine Realm.

In fact, whether it was the Divine Envoys, the Rakshasa God or the Asura God King he had encountered before, they inherently treated mortals like livestock.

But this woman was entirely different.

Of course, his little Lele also had a very good nature.

"So, what help do you want from my Brother Yu?" Gu Yuena asked, her goodwill toward the Life God King increasing after listening to her statements.

Because what she despised the most was the way the gods of the Divine Realm treated the Soul Beast Clan like livestock, viewing and suppressing them as inferior beings.

Yet this woman, the Life God King, harbored no such prejudice.

The Life God King's gaze was intense as she looked at Luo Yu.

"I've been waiting for someone."

"Waiting for someone who can bring about change."

"Although I myself can't change the Divine Realm, I believe in the miracles of life; one day there will be someone who stands up."

"And I'm willing to spend countless eons waiting, and when that person appears, all I need to do is support him to the best of my ability."

Luo Yu and Gu Yuena were visibly moved, for there was not a trace of falsehood in the words of the Life God King; her exquisite face seemed to radiate the glory of life, her beautiful eyes revealing steadfast faith—a conviction that would never be broken, no matter what.

"You don't think the person you're waiting for is my man, do you?" Gu Yuena said.

The Life God King nodded without hesitation.

"Yes."

"Having absolute power, yet never having oppressed the weak, respecting every living being."

"There is no trace of indifference or cold-bloodedness in him, but a wealth of sincere emotions instead."

The Life God King's beautiful eyes flickered with an unusually excited light.

Watching the man.

There was no desire or love in her gaze, only admiration, respect, and an unmistakable appreciation.

"Luo Yu, you are the one I've been waiting for."

"Uhh..."

Luo Yu had heard his fair share of praise and was long immune to such flattery.

Yet being complimented by a Divine King of the Divine Realm, and a woman with an exceptionally elegant demeanor and beauty, was indeed intoxicating.

But with the little ancestor beside him, he didn't dare laugh.

"Ahem... Are you sure I'm that good?"

After he said this, Luo Yu immediately regretted it because he felt a murderous intent next to him, targeting him.

He couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

The Life God King smiled gently, her smile charming and disarming like a spring breeze caressing one's entire body. She bowed with her hands clasped in front, her eyes sincere.

"Living beings have long suffered in the Divine Realm."

"I hope you can come out of seclusion and reform this corrupt world, to seek a completely different future for the Divine Realm and all living beings."

Luo Yu waved his hand and lifted the Life God King from her bowed position.

His voice was serious and earnest.

"You need to think this through, reform is bound to be bloody, it's not child's play."

The Life God King said gravely:

"I understand."

"Those who are rotten should perish with the rotten world. They do not deserve a place in the new world we hope to rebuild."

Luo Yu's eyes flashed.

He detected a strong scent of decisiveness in the Life God King's words, which seemed out of character for a gentle woman in control of the origin of life.

Gu Yuena was also surprised.

She really hadn't expected that the Life God King, who was always considered the good-natured, harmless one of the Divine Realm, harbored such thoughts deep inside.

If the other Divine Kings of the Divine Realm knew, they would surely feel a chill down their backs.

One cannot hide the look in their eyes when they wish to bring down a person; and even less so when they want to bring down a group of people. Yet the Life God King managed to conceal it for tens of thousands of years.

How terrifying—

Luo Yu's lips curved upwards, his tone playful:

"So, you have that much confidence in me?"

"You should know that the three great Divine Kings are leading the Divine Realm Army, watching eagerly, ready to attack at any moment."

"Standing with us, you might easily perish."

The Life God King laughed.

"Would someone who has achieved the unprecedented Eleven Rings of Divinity fall so easily?"

"Besides, change always requires some sacrifice. This being the perfect opportunity, there's no need to hesitate. What does it matter if I were to die?"

Luo Yu gazed deeply at her.

Now that he had integrated all eleven aspects of the Dragon King Origin and merged with the Spirit of the Plane, becoming the true plane master, his spiritual power was immensely frightening.

He could easily tell the sincerity of her words, sensing that she was ready to die for her cause at any moment.

Solely for her ideals and her love of life.

This was different from him.

He wanted only to protect his family; to live rightly on his own in adversity and to benefit the world in prosperity.

The Life God King, from the start, never thought of herself but pondered the future of all living beings in the world.

Indeed, an extraordinary woman.

Luo Yu silently admired her in his heart and felt an additional sense of admiration.
