"Tree Elder, you needn't worry about breaking through limits anymore. With the power of my three deities..."
"Should I even fear the God of the Realm?"
Tang Luochuan smiled faintly, speaking with effortless ease.
The God of the Realm? As the face of the Douluo Plane, even if his inherent strength fell short of a first-rank deity before the plane's evolution, the plane's empowerment could allow him to unleash power comparable to one.
But that was all.
Within him, not to mention ordinary first-rank deities, just the Dragon God, the God King of Destruction, and the God of Life...
Any one of their godhood inheritances would be enough to thrash Tang Hao like a naughty child. To put it bluntly, even locking him up as a collectible would be beneath consideration.
"Whew..."
"Lord Luo Chuan, you truly bear the bearing of a God King!"
Tree Elder's astonishment nearly overwhelmed his entire being, his face glowing with excitement as he spoke fervently.
The might of the Dragon God was beyond his comprehension, but surviving an encirclement by the Five Great God Kings spoke volumes—his power...
Far surpassed even theirs.
And that wasn't even considering the inheritances of the other two God Kings after the Dragon God's. These were the most coveted treasures in the Douluo Plane.
The inheritances of two God Kings...
Thinking back, the shameless Tang Great God King had only possessed the God of the Sea's primary godhood, and even his Godhood of Asura was achieved through his wife Xiao Wu sacrificing herself to become the crucial "scabbard."
Yet here was Lord Luo Chuan before him—how old was he? Barely thirteen or fourteen, and already in possession of not just the Dragon God's inheritance, but also those of two other God Kings!
What a joke that Tang San was—compared to him...
Not even worth a dog's notice.
"This is..."
"The true Child of Nature."
Tree Elder sighed deeply, murmuring to himself.
"Lord Luo Chuan, should you ever need anything in the future, you may seek me at the Golden Ancient Tree. I will hold nothing back..."
"..."
Tang Luochuan and his companions didn't linger long. After concluding their conversation with Tree Elder, they bid farewell to him and Tang Wulin, who was waiting for Zi Xin.
On their way back, Tang Luochuan's expression remained as calm and unchanged as ever. In contrast, Gu Yue and Na'er wore complex expressions.
"Luo Chuan."
"Is there nothing you wish to ask us?"
In the end, it was Gu Yue who spoke first, unable to hold back any longer.
Truthfully, had Luo Chuan asked her anything directly, she might not have felt this way. But he had said nothing.
Did that mean he had known all along...?
At this moment, Gu Yue's mind raced—since when?
"That's right, Brother Luo Chuan."
Na'er also asked nervously.
"Such as..."
"The fact that you are the Lords of the Beast Race?"
Tang Luochuan paused slightly, glancing at them before speaking softly.
"Mhm."
Both Gu Yue and Na'er nodded in agreement. For anyone else, this would have been a monumental revelation.
Especially for Na'er, who fell into deep thought.
They were the Lords of the Beast Race!
Though Brother Luo Chuan was the reincarnation of the Golden Dragon King and had even advanced his bloodline further, he was still human. Knowing their true identities, he had...
Accepted it so readily!
"I did know about this..."
Tang Luochuan shook his head with a smile, unfazed. To him, not knowing would have been the real surprise.
Of course, he clearly had no idea what Na'er was thinking in her heart. Otherwise, he would have been utterly charmed by her adorable thoughts—what, minding that the two of them were the Lord of the Beast Race...
Wasn't that actually a plus?
Come on, the Silver Dragon King, Lord of the Beast Race, was seriously cool.
"Was it when you obtained the Dragon God's Inheritance?"
Gu Yue seemed to realize something, murmuring thoughtfully. Before this, she couldn't think of any other possibility.
Only after obtaining the Dragon God's Inheritance could he have possibly gained those fragmented memories of the Dragon God, perhaps while in Dragon Valley.
"Mhm..."
Tang Luochuan merely gave a soft hum in response. He couldn't very well tell her that he had actually known since much earlier, could he?
Probably from the moment he first arrived in this world.
"So it was back then..."
Hearing Gu Yue's words, Na'er also had a sudden epiphany. Just as Gu Yue-jie had said, if there was any possible time, it could only have been then.
"But Luo Chuan-gege..."
"Aren't you even a little surprised?"
Na'er blinked. Knowing was one thing, but staying so calm after finding out was clearly another matter entirely.
At this moment, even Gu Yue felt the same way.
"I was a little surprised..."
"But everyone has their own secrets. This was just yours, and I knew you'd tell me eventually."
Tang Luochuan smiled gently as he spoke.
"Besides..."
"As long as it's you two, whether you're the Soul Beast God or not doesn't matter. All that matters is that it's you."
He reached out, lightly taking both their hands, his voice firm.
"I see!"
Hearing this, Na'er's eyes immediately brightened, and she giggled, leaning against him in high spirits.
They were super important, after all... hehe.
Beside them, Gu Yue also wore a soft smile, her gaze silently resting on him without a word.
"But still..."
"I never expected Luo Chuan-gege to be the Child of Nature. Such a lofty identity, huh?"
Na'er's expression turned serious as she stated it outright.
"Well then..."
"Do I feel any different to you now?"
Tang Luochuan laughed heartily at her question.
"Hmm..."
"Of course not! Nothing's different at all!"
Na'er immediately shook her head, grinning.
It wasn't like he had suddenly become the Child of Nature—he had always been one! How could there be any change?
Her Luo Chuan-gege would always be the Luo Chuan-gege she loved, unchanged for three lifetimes...
"If Luo Chuan ever changed..."
"That would be absurd."
Next to them, Gu Yue rolled her eyes.
"Exactly."
Tang Luochuan nodded cheerfully in agreement.
"Still, now that I know you're the Child of Nature, I finally understand why you attract so many girls."
Gu Yue glanced at him, sighing helplessly.
Since Luo Chuan was the Child of Nature, the swarm of girls around him definitely wasn't because he was a flirt...
It was all because he was too outstanding, combined with the innate allure of the Child of Nature. What a troublesome fate!
"If this keeps up, the number of girls he'll attract in the future will probably be countless. Honestly..."
Gu Yue fell into deep thought. As long as Luo Chuan didn't go too far, she wouldn't say anything in the future. After all, her position could never be shaken by anyone!
If it ever were...
Then Luo Chuan must have lost his mind!
"Hmm..."
Tang Luochuan smiled without speaking.
What he really wanted to say was that with his ten-thousand-year peach blossom luck, he might just... surpass even the so-called Child of Nature in terms of attractiveness!
"What bad intentions could Luo Chuan possibly have? All this flirting is just the Child of Nature's fault anyway!"
That day, Gu Yue firmly thought to herself.
At least for now, that's what she believed!
"Tang! Luo! Chuan!"
"What Child of Nature's charm..."
"It's all lies, completely—"
In the not-too-distant future, Gu Yue glared at the other people around him and grumbled indignantly. Apart from her own importance...
What part of it was even real?!
"That day, I fought seven hundred rounds with Luo Chuan and suffered a crushing defeat... Next time..."
"I'll definitely win..."
Gu Yue wrote in her diary that day.
