Chapter 440 Sealing Humanity

Chapter 440 Sealing Humanity

"What do you need me to do?" Ye Nanxiao asked.

Gu Yuena clasped her hands together, and her whole body shone with silver light.

The silver light, like countless threads, enveloped the two, forming a square space.

"This emotion was born without my knowledge, and it has no meaning to me, so it needs to be erased," Gu Yuena said calmly, as if erasing this emotion from her was not something difficult to bear.

Ye Nanxiao was somewhat puzzled as to why Gu Yuena had developed this emotion.

But I don't know how to ask this question.

Gu Yuena glanced at Ye Nanxiao. Although he had a serious expression on his face, his slightly raised eyebrows and the way his gaze was slightly tilted to the right betrayed him.

"Ask away if you want," Gu Yuena said calmly.

Ye Nanxiao touched his nose and asked, "Why did this emotion arise?"

Gu Yuena lowered her eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "Before you left, you left me with a question. I couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I tried. Frustrated, I picked up your storybook and read it, trying to see things from a human perspective. When I finally understood, a glimmer of humanity was born."

"Boss, do you think I look like a fool?" Ye Nanxiao said, somewhat speechless. Gu Yuena was incredibly intelligent; how could she develop feelings for him just because she read a few of his casually written books?

According to the original story, Gu Yuena developed the personality of Na'er because an accident occurred when her true form transformed into human form, which resulted in the sealing of her original memories, leaving her with blank memories throughout her childhood.

In other words, after losing his memory, he lived with a new identity for a period of time. When his memory returned, the original memories and the memories of the new identity conflicted and could not coexist, resulting in two personalities.

Gu Yuena ignored Ye Nanxiao and focused on adjusting her own breathing.

In reality, she was so obsessed with getting to the bottom of things, searching for answers that she was almost driven to madness.

After overthinking without finding an answer, Gu Yuena chose to consider the issue from a different perspective, as Ye Nanxiao had suggested. Combining the stories she had heard from Ye Nanxiao, she put herself in the human form to think about "what is love".

From the moment she was born, Gu Yuena inherited the wisdom of the Dragon God, but when faced with the question of "love," the usually wise Gu Yuena fell into a dead end.

After shifting her perspective and considering the story written by Ye Nanxiao, Gu Yuena easily arrived at the answer.

This method piqued Gu Yuena's interest, and she became completely engrossed in it.

When Gu Yuena realized what was happening, the rudimentary form of a personality that thought like a human was born.

Gu Yuena initially thought it was just a temporary bias in her thinking and ignored it, but she did not expect that human emotions would spontaneously develop.

"If time goes on, will I be Gu Yuena, or will I be Gu Yuena?"

She also shoulders the mission of leading the soul beasts to revitalize, and she will not allow herself to become an obstacle.

Seeing that Gu Yuena chose to remain silent in the face of him, Ye Nanxiao sighed softly, and his soul power became active, ready to obey Gu Yuena's command at any time.

After Gu Yuena calmed her breathing for a while, her eyes were filled with silver lightning, and a silver figure that looked exactly like Gu Yuena appeared behind her.

"I will open my spiritual world and connect with a trace of your spiritual power. Find that trace of humanity within my spiritual world and seal it away."

Gu Yuena hesitated for a moment after speaking, but ultimately chose to seal away her newly born humanity.

Humanity, newly born, is like a bewildered little girl who stumbles and accidentally enters the world set up by Gu Yuena.

"By the way, you went to the beach, did you get into any trouble?" Gu Yuena asked.

"I don't think so... I'm very honest!" Ye Nanxiao recalled what he had done at the beach. He had simply passed through two villages, gotten lost at sea and met a mermaid girl, then taken on a disciple, and finally encountered the extremely mysterious Zheng Chuan.

After listening to Ye Nanxiao's story, Gu Yuena's face showed a hint of disdain. "You, a mere soul, actually dared to pry into the secrets of other gods, and the one with the greatest ambition at that. It's a miracle you're still alive."

"Don't worry, we weren't discovered. We've already gathered most of the clues. We'll do it again next time," Ye Nanxiao said with a faint smile.

"From what you're saying, you've actually discovered that god's secret?" Gu Yuena formed two hand seals.

"Aren't you afraid of being blasted to ashes?"

Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly, "At this point in time, that 'master' is unaware of my anomaly."

Seeing that Ye Nanxiao showed no lingering fear, and even seemed to have the spirit of "daring to do it again next time," Gu Yuena gritted her teeth slightly, "You really are brave. From what you're saying, if you have the chance, you'd like to take advantage of this special moment to bring that person down from their pedestal?"

Ye Nanxiao gave a slight, fake smile, revealing eight large white teeth. "It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just that the odds of winning aren't high enough! Even if the odds are 98%, it's still practically suicide."

Should we take this opportunity to get our hands on Yuan Haisan?

Without absolute certainty, one cannot act. Even the smallest chance of failure still exists. If one were to actually fail, not only would Ye Nanxiao's current soul be affected, but his future physical body would also be implicated.

We should wait until we are stronger, at least until we embark on the path to godhood, before we have the qualifications to confront them head-on.

Gu Yuena glared at Ye Nanxiao. "You always have so many grand theories. Get ready, I'm about to open up my spiritual world."

Ye Nanxiao nodded and asked, "Should I notify Di Tian and the others to protect me before entering your spiritual world?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena shook her head slightly and said, "Di Tian doesn't need to know about this matter yet."

Ye Nanxiao nodded, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and relaxed his mind, waiting for Gu Yuena to pull his spiritual power into her spiritual world.

Seeing that Ye Nanxiao still trusted her so decisively and relaxed his mind, Gu Yuena's gaze softened a little. She flicked her finger, and a wisp of spiritual energy landed on Ye Nanxiao, enveloping his spiritual energy.

Ye Nanxiao felt the world suddenly turn white, and he was immersed in a pure white world.

"Find her, she's hiding here."

Gu Yuena's voice rang in Ye Nanxiao's mind, and a burst of heat emanated from the silver cube in his right hand.

A series of silver lights intertwined around her, and Gu Yuena, clad in dragon scale armor, stepped out from within.

Her waist-length silver hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, and heavy silver armor wrapped around her delicate body, with a silver dragon coiled around it.

In her own spiritual world, Gu Yuena remains the Valkyrie who leads the dragon race on the battlefield.

Ye Nanxiao nodded to Gu Yuena, feeling the heat in his right hand, and stepped forward.

Stepping out, the world before him was no longer pure white; a small bridge of seven colors stretched out beneath Ye Nanxiao's feet.

"Human nature knows my intentions and is avoiding me."

Hearing Gu Yuena's voice, Ye Nanxiao turned around and saw Gu Yuena, clad in armor, standing quietly at the bridgehead, not following him.

"I will guide you; boldly move forward."

Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt a sense of parting. Gu Yuena, dressed in armor, did not give him a heroic feeling. Instead, the armored figure was full of loneliness.

Giant, multicolored bubbles floated past Ye Nanxiao, each bubble containing a miniature world—Gu Yuena's memories.

Countless bubble worlds floated past him, but Ye Nanxiao only glanced at each bubble and did not linger.

The rainbow bridge had no end, stretching endlessly, and Ye Nanxiao could only move forward.

"Did you come looking for me? I'm over here."

A melodious, bell-like voice rang in my ears.

Ye Nanxiao quickly spotted a bubble world shimmering with moonlight and walked over.

As Ye Nanxiao approached the bubble world, he realized just how enormous it was. Standing before it, Ye Nanxiao felt as if he were standing in front of a skyscraper.

"I'm inside, touch me, come in."

The playful voice rang in my ears again.

Ye Nanxiao nodded and gently touched the surface of the bubble.

A flash of white light appeared before my eyes again, and when my vision returned, a vast valley stretching for thousands of miles came into view.

The tangible white mist clung to the middle of the valley, motionless, like death itself.

The bottom of the valley was shrouded in white mist, obscuring the view below.

Ye Nanxiao was suddenly pulled by a force that drew him toward a spot in the valley.

As he descended with the traction, Ye Nanxiao saw a small figure standing in front of him.

Ye Nanxiao remembered that Gu Yuena had said that her humanity had only recently been born, and the little girl with shoulder-length silver hair in front of him had a face that was seven-tenths similar to Gu Yuena's, with a pair of light purple eyes staring quietly at him.

"Um... young boss?" Ye Nanxiao hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Gu Yuena is her boss, so this new personality that has emerged in front of her is also her boss.

"You call her Gu Yuena, so what should I call her?" The girl put her hands behind her back and winked at Ye Nanxiao.

Ye Nanxiao pursed his lips. He naturally knew what the girl in front of him should be called, and the boss seemed to have accepted the name he had given her.

"Boss Na'er?" Ye Nanxiao called out with a smirk.

"Then I'll be called Na'er. You gave Gu Yuena a name, so I have one too!" Na'er said excitedly.

"Boss Na'er, would you like to take a break for a while? The boss is a bit busy right now and can't find the time to take care of you," Ye Nanxiao said, raising his right hand.

Na'er glanced at the small silver square on the back of Ye Nanxiao's right hand, covered her mouth with her hand and laughed, "Your seal can't hold me back, you know where the weakness is!"

Ye Nanxiao's mouth was slightly open, his right hand raised in mid-air, unsure whether to extend it or retract it.

Na'er pointed at Ye Nanxiao's right hand, and the latter felt a burning sensation on the back of his right hand again. Then the small silver cube gradually disappeared from his hand.

Ye Nanxiao stared speechlessly at the silver cube that had disappeared from the back of his hand.

Boss, you've figured out the method you gave me!

Does that mean I've become cannon fodder?

"Boss Na'er!"

"Just call me Na'er! Adding 'boss' just feels weird."

Na'er corrected him, cheered, and circled around Ye Nanxiao a few times.

"Strategist, will you play with me for a bit?"

"Don't you want to know where this place is?"

"I don't want to at all."

Ye Nanxiao resolutely refused, keeping his gaze fixed on Na'er.

Without the sealing method provided by Gu Yuena, Ye Nanxiao was in a real headache. He couldn't handle this little Gu Yuena at all.

"Boss, are you still there?"

"What is it?"

"Help!"

"Let's wait and see. I haven't thought of any other solutions yet."

Ye Nanxiao raised an eyebrow, took a few steps closer, and leaned down to say to Na'er, "Na'er, what are your orders? Best employee Ye Nanxiao reporting for duty!"

Since they're both my bosses, I can listen to either of them, right?

Na'er's little face was beaming with a bright smile. She stood on tiptoe and patted Ye Nanxiao's shoulder with her little hand. "Not bad, as expected of a strategist."

Then, leaning close to Ye Nanxiao's ear, she whispered, "This is her deepest secret, the secret that has troubled her to this day. Strategist, please help her!"

The "she" that Na'er mentioned naturally refers to Gu Yuena.

"Boss, why don't you let me go back first?" Ye Nanxiao asked Gu Yuena for help again after hearing this.

The deepest secret hidden in the Silver Dragon King's heart—could he possibly know it?

Moreover, judging from what Na'er said, it is most likely a problem that Gu Yuena herself cannot solve. If even the almost omniscient and omnipotent Gu Yuena cannot solve it, then if she goes there, she will only be there to make up the numbers and add another pair of chopsticks.

Who knows, you might be the one who gets the first beating.

As the saying goes, you shouldn't listen to your boss's secrets, so Ye Nanxiao shook his head vigorously.

"The fact that you were able to come in here means that she has already tacitly agreed that you can know!" Na'er reached out and pinched the hem of Ye Nanxiao's clothes.

"This is the Silver Dragon King's most tragic place!"
