Gu Yuena, who had been exposed, immediately turned her body, "Di Tian, what are you talking about... you must have seen it wrong!"
How could she be happy about Wulin's breakthrough failure!!
Di Tian looked a bit helpless but didn't continue to argue...
"Speaking of which, Lord, you should be trying to break through to God Rank recently, right?"
Gu Yuena's expression instantly froze, clenching her fists, "Hm... without gaining godhood, breaking through to God Rank is almost impossible!"
If Teacher Xu were still here, this wouldn't even be a problem!
Unfortunately, the other party's whereabouts are unknown, and whether they're still alive is uncertain!
Di Tian seemed to understand the meaning behind her words, "Lord, is there no other way to obtain godhood? Or has the possibility of our soul beast clan breaking through to God Rank already been stripped away by those from the Upper Realm!"
Gu Yuena sighed and shook her head, "As it stands, I can't find a way to obtain godhood, unless... my power becomes strong enough to create a Self-Created Divine Position, without attracting attention from the Divine Realm!"
Just like that Abyssal Emperor, whose strength grew so powerful that he only chose to appear after breaking through to Divine King Level!
If it weren't for Teacher Xu's intervention, even the Sea God might have been slain by him!!
Seeing her somewhat dejected, Di Tian quickly said, "Lord, you are the noble incarnation of the Silver Dragon King, the speed of your power growth will surely surpass ours!"
"As long as we have enough time, I believe you will definitely possess the strength to create a Self-Created Divine Position!"
Gu Yuena's silver eyes flickered, "Of course I know that, but who knows if there will be enough time for me to grow to that level!"
Just then, Bi Ji stepped in...
Seeing the two talking, she interrupted, "Lord, I have something to report!"
The interrupted Di Tian just pursed his lips, seeming like he wanted to say something, but instead, he swallowed it down...
"In that case, I'll take my leave!"
After saying that, he nodded to Bi Ji and left...
Seeing this, Bi Ji looked a bit uncertain, "Lord, were you discussing something important with Di Tian just now?"
Did I come at a bad time?
Gu Yuena shook her head, "No, nothing important!"
"Bi Ji, what do you have to report?"
Bi Ji regained her focus and said, "Lord, after continuous research by Spirit Pagoda scientists, the soul beasts created now seem to possess more wisdom than soul beasts before!"
Gu Yuena's furrowed brows relaxed a bit, "Hm, that's good news. Without wisdom, they wouldn't be our kin; they'd just be puppets!"
Bi Ji paused for a moment and continued, "However, the issue of reproduction hasn't been solved yet!
Gu Yuena had long predicted this outcome, so she wasn't overly surprised, "As expected, it can't be solved yet..."
The real problem lies in how to grant these soul beasts the ability to reproduce!
Bi Ji, looking at Gu Yuena's expression, hesitated for a long while before finally saying her thoughts, "Lord, I believe... granting them reproductive abilities might be impossible!"
"How about we stop researching this aspect?"
"As long as we can create enough soul beasts with wisdom, our soul beast clan will have re-established itself in this world to some extent!"
She certainly wanted the soul beasts created to have reproductive abilities like the true soul beasts, but the odds were slim to none!
Rather than wasting resources on this, it would be better to change their objective!
However, Gu Yuena vehemently rejected this idea, "No!"
"Without reproductive abilities, if humans regain control of this Continent, soul beasts will face extinction again!"
"Bi Ji, you understand this better than anyone!"
Compared to herself, Bi Ji had witnessed the near-extinction of the soul beast clan!
Bi Ji fell into silence...
"I'm sorry, Lord, I misspoke!"
.....
In the Abyss, the sweat-soaked warriors looked at the approaching abyssal creatures, their minds going numb...
One couldn't help but curse, "Damn, there are so many abyssal creatures, with our few numbers, we can't kill them all."
"We have no choice, we need more troops to fend off the Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Masters! There's no way to get support right now!"
"Hold on a bit longer, believe that our comrades can deal with the Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Masters!!"
"But, after such prolonged fighting, everyone's Soul Power is nearly depleted, and there are no reinforcements. We'll be defeated at this rate!"
"Two officers, please request support from headquarters, we're on the verge of collapse!"
Long Yuxue and Jiang Qiyue, both using soul weapons to attack the abyssal creatures, paused their actions, exchanged glances, and fell into silence...
They had sent more than three support requests to headquarters, but there was no satisfactory response each time!
Helpless, Long Yuxue bit her lip and shouted, "Hold on a bit longer, headquarters' reinforcements will be here soon!"
In their current situation, she could only tell this lie to boost the warriors' morale!
However, hearing this, there was no fighting spirit on the warriors' faces, only signs of defeat...
Next to her, Jiang Qiyue couldn't help but say, "Yuxue, we've already said similar things many times, it doesn't boost the warriors' morale! Let's order a retreat."
Preserving strength is better than meaningless sacrifice!
But Long Yuxue firmly said, "No, even if you, I, and everyone dies here, we cannot retreat a single step!"
If they retreat, the entire Blood God Army will be caught between attacks...
This time, she was ready to lay down her life!
Jiang Qiyue was dazed and smiled bitterly, "I knew you'd say that. Though, I didn't plan to retreat either..."
...
In the command room, Long Tianwu clenched his fists tightly, thinking, "I'm sorry, Yuxue, the current situation leaves me with no extra troops to support you!"
Long Yuxue was his daughter, and her situation could lead to her imminent sacrifice. He wanted to dispatch reinforcements immediately!
But he couldn't, he absolutely couldn't!
In the matter concerning the Continent's safety, personal emotions must be put aside!
Besides, if she knew he diverted troops due to personal reasons, she would probably resent him forever!
Just then, a soldier hurried in from outside, excitedly reporting, "Commander, the current situation is that the Commander and Blood One have suppressed the enemy's high-end combat power, and our defense line is stabilizing! The evil Soul Masters can't break through for now!"
Long Tianwu slammed the table, excitedly, "Excellent! We must not let these bastards succeed!"
The soldier, seeing this, further asked, "Commander, should we send a team to support Lieutenant Long Yuxue and others? They seem to be at their limit!"
