Diary System—Chapter 78: Gu Yuena: I Fell in Love with a Human?
Not only did the auspicious beast feel as if the sky had fallen, but Xiao Wu and the other female protagonists, who were soul beasts, also wore confused or complicated expressions. Did they truly not consider doing something for the Soul Beast clan after ascending to the God Realm?
Xiao Wu keenly noticed the term "Asura scabbard." Instinctively, she felt that the name wasn't very pleasant. Did this imply that in the original timeline, she became Tang San's scabbard?
Huh~ Xiao Wu suddenly felt a tingle at the back of her neck.
Ah Yin's branches and leaves swayed left and right in Dai Yichen's dormitory. Although she didn't know what the Life Core of the Douluo Continent was, it must have been powerful, right?
But had she done nothing for the Soul Beast clan? After all, she was no longer just a 100,000-year soul beast at that time, but a beast god.
Had her original intentions changed imperceptibly?
The attention of the two Empresses of Ice and Snow was primarily drawn to the word "spirit soul."
"Sister Xue, what do you mean by 'spirit soul'?" the Ice Empress murmured, aware that the Snow Empress might not know but asking nonetheless.
The Snow Empress shook her head. "I don't know either, but if you interpret it literally, it should relate to the soul body, right? Did Dai Yichen not mention before that in the original story, you became Huo Yuhao's second martial soul because of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm? You should exist in the form of a soul body in his spiritual sea."
Suddenly, something seemed to flash in the Ice Empress's mind, and she said excitedly, "Sister Xue, I understand what Dai Yichen meant by the god-making plan! Tianmeng and I exist as soul-bodies in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. As long as Huo Yuhao eventually becomes a god, then we can also ascend to the divine realm together, enjoy eternal life, and possess god-level strength."
"However, Tianmeng and I being able to exist in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea is a special circumstance. Why did Dai Yichen's diary mention not only you, Sister Xue, but also other soul beasts? And the little white bear he mentioned—couldn't that be your godson?"
At this moment, deep within the Lake of Life, a silver dragon was sleeping, and in its spiritual sea, a ray of light suddenly appeared.
Gu Yuena felt this strange power and instinctively sought to awaken early, despite her injuries. She sensed that this power was formidable.
However, she realized that her body was completely immobile, and her eyes could not open. In the spiritual sea, her consciousness condensed into a human form, and this ray of light transformed into a small black book that floated in front of her.
For the first time in her hundreds of thousands of years of existence, she had encountered something like this; just a book rendered her unable to move.
Before she could react, the diary before her opened automatically. With her consciousness, she quickly absorbed its contents.
She was shocked. Who on earth is this system?
While the earlier content didn't concern her much and mentioned a variety of things, she was warmed by Di Tian's unwavering loyalty.
However, upon reading the most recent pages, she was astonished to discover that she had fallen in love with a human boy after awakening. It was one thing to fall in love, but in the end, because she was unable to extricate herself from this love, she allowed Tang Wulin to kill her as if attempting to escape.
Even though she knew the events of tens of thousands of years in advance, Gu Yuena felt only endless fury, not sadness. After all, she did not know who Tang Wulin was now; she was merely observing these events as an outsider!
Di Tian and the others trusted her so deeply. How could she abandon her responsibilities as the soul beast master for such a human?
Seeing Dai Yichen's disappointment, for some reason, a spark of anger ignited in her expression.
Indeed, having lived for such a long time and witnessed so many events, how could she have fallen in love with a young boy?
This time, with a copy of the diary, if she were to fall in love with another young boy, she would write the words "Gu Yuena" upside down!
System: Are you sure?
Gu Yuena was merely a bystander now. How could she comprehend that love cannot simply be stopped? The poison called love easily ensnares those who encounter it. Once you fall in love, escaping it is not so simple.
Thus, while Dai Yichen criticized Gu Yuena's faults in the diary, he examined the matter without emotional bias, standing on the side of both humans and soul beasts.
If he were Gu Yuena, he would no doubt declare that he would separate from Tang Wulin for the sake of the soul-beast clan. Yet who wouldn't speak grandly?
"Don't advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering."
This statement may not fit perfectly here, but the general sentiment remains.
What Gu Yuena didn't realize was that the reason she fell for Tang Wulin was, in fact, due to Tang Buddha's machinations; however, Dai Yichen opted not to include that in his diary. (It seems more intentional to omit that detail now.)
At that time, Gu Yuena hadn't realized that she had suffered a mental shock. After recovering, she wished to integrate into the human world, sealing her power and memories, and transforming into a newborn human. Then, she fortuitously met Tang Wulin, who possessed the Bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, was adopted by his foster parents, and eventually became Tang Wulin's sister.
Well, the two siblings not related by blood supported one another for an extended period, and their feelings eventually blossomed into love!
This world is like a colossal grassroots movement. How could they end up together by sheer coincidence?
If Gu Yuena had had her previous memories, it would have been implausible for her to fall in love with a human.
Gu Yuena then steadied herself and reflected on the contents of Dai Yichen's diary.
She had no recollection of what he mentioned regarding the soul beast's tribulation being set by the Dragon God, and she was unsure whether it was true.
Dai Yichen: I wonder if you suffer from any residual effects of being split in half; frequent amnesia seems to be one of them.
She also observed that the auspicious beast appeared to possess a copy of Dai Yichen's diary. No wonder she could feel that the flow of soul power within her body was speeding up a bit. That must be the reward the auspicious beast received from the diary copy!
This is undoubtedly advantageous for the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, she felt a twinge of distress. Currently, she is bound by this system. Although she was conscious, she couldn't open her eyes or move her body.

[Regarding your monthly guaranteed reward, there have been changes. If you persist in reading the diary every day for a month, you will heal part of your hidden injuries.]
—
Gu Yuena: …
This so-called system had stated its terms—what else could she say?
Nevertheless, this reward was exactly what she needed most now. As long as her injuries were fully healed, she could once again exert the strength of a god. (Would that be the strength of a first-level god or a god-king?)
