A dazzling gold spear, it's luster so bright and divine, it could capture anyone's eyes. A maiden with beautiful and long silver hair, her smiling face, so pretty, that puts any other girl to Shame. And a man, clad in golden armour, his very being seemed like the embodiment of strength, his face so handsome that it could steal any maiden's heart. But now his face was filled with sorrow, confusion and mostly despair.

The golden spear he held, pearced through the maidens heart, who didn't seem to mind it at all, as if she was relieved. "Gu Yue, why?", the man asked, his voice trembling.

"This was the ending I planned. The best ending possible for me, wulin", the girl, no the women spoke with a smile.

"You..", tTang Wulin began, he couldn't find the words to speak. His mind was a complete mess.

"Will you listen to me first?", Gu Yuena sighed. She then immobilized Tang Wulin using the dragon core, and began to speak.

"Wulin, do you know that this is the moment that I can truly love you without any reservations? You asked me on multiple occasions if I love you. I've answered you before. Yet, now's the only time that I can truly announce before everyone as the witness and say 'I love you' aloud."

Her gaze was filled with love. She raised her left hand slowly and showed the ring which was wrapped around her fine, delicate finger and shimmering with a misty blue radiance.

"That day when you proposed to me, I was really, really touched. I became your wife the moment you put the ring on me. I, Gu Yue will only be the wife of one man. He's Tang Wulin."

"Na'er won. When she won, I knew I had sunk so far that I was completely involved. I attempted to extricate myself in the past. Besides, I tried to kill you on more than one occasion. Yet, I just couldn't do it. On the contrary, it made me sink deeper until I couldn't help it anymore."

Even I'd no idea when I fell in love with you. Perhaps, it was the moment where you spent a thousand days burying the dragon bones for my Dragon Clan. Or, it could be the time I called you 'Father'. Or, it was the moment you forced me to acknowledge my love for you with your irresistible confession during the Sea God's Fated Date Festival."

At this point, her gaze began to turn blurry. "Perhaps, everything that happened isn't right. This is because our fate has been destined from the first time we met. Whether it's the first time you met Na'er, or the first time you encountered Gu Yue, it's destiny. You and I are destined to this fate."

"Perhaps, this is a doomed love. Even so, I accept it too."

"I've no choice but to acknowledge the fact that your father is the most farsighted man I've ever encountered in my life. He truly lives up to his name of being the leader of God Kings. He planned a strategy which had been decided ten thousand years ago. He managed to rejuvenate the vitality of the Douluo Continent so that this world can enjoy peace for the next ten thousand years at the very least. He's a man of great wisdom and courage."

"We are barely significant when compared to him. I'm not as farsighted as him. Thus, I haven't figured a way to solve the issue between us and to resolve the enmity between our clans which has spanned over tens of thousands years."

"I'm the Silver Dragon King after all. I'm a part of the Dragon God's body and I'm the king of all beasts. I'm the first ancestor of the soul beasts. You can say that they're evolved from my aura into the clans they are currently. On the other hand, mankind has always been slaughtering them. This enmity cannot be resolved by virtue of our relationship. Even when we're standing at the pinnacle of our own clans, we still can't do it."

"For that, I've been ruminating for a very long time. I'm constantly searching for a way to solve this. I search for that ray of hope, hoping that it will appear before us and give us a way to be together for good."
