Gu Yuena stared straight at Song Zhe, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
She knew that the current Song Zhe's memories were incomplete, and he certainly wouldn't remember the events of back then.
Even if she told Song Zhe, it wouldn't have any effect.
"When you become a God King, you will know."
After a long while, Gu Yuena gave her answer.
As far as the current Song Zhe was concerned, knowing about their relationship would actually be detrimental to his growth.
She believed that Song Zhe would grow back to his peak strength from back then in the shortest possible time.
If he could take one step further, he could become a God King-level powerhouse.
With his combat power, even if he faced the Five God Kings of the God Realm at that time, he wouldn't be the slightest bit weaker.
"Oh~"
Song Zhe replied with a long, drawn-out syllable.
The lingering tone of his voice expressed that his mood at the moment was not great.
He felt displeased with Gu Yuena's perfunctory answer.
"If you are willing, you can stay in this wooden cabin to cultivate; no Spirit Beast will harm you."
Gu Yuena thought about it and intended to let Song Zhe stay.
He was different from others; while others started cultivating from zero, Song Zhe was recovering his strength.
Therefore, he needed a place with abundant spirit power and did not require practical combat to temper himself.
Moreover, in the Star Dou Great Forest, there were so many Vicious Beasts that could become his opponents, so he wouldn't fall behind in practical combat either.
"No need, staying at home is more comfortable."
Song Zhe rejected Gu Yuena's invitation.
Whether it was the Supreme Pontiff Palace or the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, neither was a place he yearned for.
Only Song Village, with its simple and honest folk, was where his heart belonged.
"Actually, this place is also yours..."
Gu Yuena really wanted to tell him.
This place was actually his home as well; he had personally built this small wooden cabin back then.
But how could Song Zhe, who had no memories, understand these things?
He didn't even know about the relationship between them, let alone a mere house!
"Lord, Bear Lord has brought a five-hundred-year-old Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear."
Just then.
Di Tian returned from outside and reported to her.
The two of them immediately stood up and walked outside.
Looking through the wooden door, Song Zhe could see an extremely burly, husky man behind Di Tian.
That body of bulging muscles looked very difficult to provoke.
"Lord, I have already settled it with it; it is willing to sacrifice its life for Lord Zhe Xian."
Bear Lord had always refused to submit to Di Tian, but he was extremely respectful toward Gu Yuena.
This Co-ruler of Soul Beasts possessed not only a noble status but also terrifying strength.
It could be said that she was the only True God within the Soul Beast Clan.
"Mhm. Zhe Xian, you must also promise me that when you become a god, you will definitely resurrect the Spirit Beasts that sacrificed their lives for you and grant them eternal life. This is what you promised me before."
Gu Yuena responded and then solemnly exhorted Song Zhe.
"As long as I can become a god, I will definitely resurrect them."
Song Zhe didn't have any objections.
In his view, there was a problem with the cultivation system of the Douluo Continent.
Having these Spirit Beasts on him would definitely affect his future progress.
It would be better to separate these Spirit Beasts after becoming a god and retain the purest cultivation True Qi.
"Thank you."
Gu Yuena expressed her thanks sincerely.
Although she believed in Zhe Xian immensely, the current Song Zhe was not yet Zhe Xian.
Yet Song Zhe still agreed without hesitation, which greatly comforted Gu Yuena's heart.
Sure enough, regardless of whether he had his complete memories or not, his personality was still so similar.
"Many thanks, Lord Zhe Xian."
Bear Lord cupped his fists in a salute to Song Zhe.
For those Spirit Beasts who sacrificed their lives, they had undoubtedly boarded an express train to eternal life.
"He has just returned through nirvana and has not yet recovered his memories."
Seeing Song Zhe return the salute to Bear Lord, Gu Yuena immediately explained from the side.
Not only did she know Zhe Xian, but the Vicious Beasts present also actually all knew Zhe Xian.
Only Song Zhe himself was completely clueless about the situation and didn't know what kind of elegant and unparalleled figure Zhe Xian was.
Although Song Zhe already had suspicions in his heart, he still couldn't figure out the reason.
"I believe in the Lord, and I also believe in the Master."
Bear Lord bowed to the two of them and then called the five-hundred-year-old Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear inside.
"Go ahead, it will take the initiative to sacrifice its life for you."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Gu Yuena patted Song Zhe on the back.
No matter what, this time she would definitely lay a good foundation for Zhe Xian to charge toward that supreme realm.
She always believed that Song Zhe would become a God King who surpassed the Dragon God.
And the Soul Beast Clan would also find a pure land that belonged to them.
"Mhm."
Song Zhe slowly walked down.
His size appeared exceptionally small in front of the five-hundred-year-old Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
However, when he walked in front of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear,
a brilliant blood-red light instantly blossomed on the head of that five-hundred-year-old great bear.
It was burning itself, gathering all the strength in its body together.
Perhaps, it might even produce a Spirit Bone.
The light from the ignited fire of life shone on Song Zhe's face, actually making him feel a bit of stinging pain.
It was like the feeling of a cold wind scraping against one's cheeks on a winter night in his past life.
A yellow spirit ring slowly emerged from the body of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
"Go and absorb it. After absorbing the spirit ring, your Nine-Leaf Sword Grass will also undergo a Second Awakening, and its power will have a substantial change."
Gu Yuena said indifferently.
Hearing her say that his Spirit would undergo a Second Awakening, Song Zhe couldn't help but take an extra look at Gu Yuena.
He hadn't expected that not only Bibi Dong would say this, but even Gu Yuena said so as well; only he himself didn't know.
Song Zhe walked to that yellow spirit ring, sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate the Quanzhen Heart Method.
As the Quanzhen Heart Method circulated, that five-hundred-year spirit ring seemed to have found an outlet.
It settled directly over Song Zhe, merging with him bit by bit.
"The Master's Spirit indeed has the highest compatibility with the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear."
Bear Lord couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Seeing such a result, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
He was happy because the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear that sacrificed its life for Song Zhe would surely obtain eternal life when the Master returned in the future.
He was sad because his tribe would lose a large wave of clansmen because of this.
"Give it a rest. Other Spirit Beasts wouldn't even have the chance if they wanted to sacrifice themselves."
Di Tian glared at Bear Lord.
Although it looked very miserable right now, it would be a different feeling later when they were resurrected and obtained eternal life.
"I wonder if the Master will be able to break through the shackles after this nirvana."
Bear Lord wasn't worried at all about whether Song Zhe could become a god in the future.
But if Song Zhe couldn't break through the shackles, he wouldn't be able to change the current state of the Soul Beast Clan either.
With their current strength, launching a counterattack against the God Realm would be no different from striking a rock with an egg; there was no chance of victory to speak of.
"He has never let anyone down."
Gu Yuena said firmly.
A man who could give up his own cultivation and undergo nirvana to cultivate anew would surely make the entire God Realm tremble.
After a long while, the yellow spirit ring finally stabilized.
Song Zhe took a deep breath; his Quanzhen Heart Method had successfully entered the second stage.
His current cultivation speed was quite a bit faster than before, and his state was unprecedentedly good.
Just then, the Spirit in his right hand emerged and began its Second Awakening.
