Luo Yu heard the System prompt in his mind and wasn't surprised.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Actually, he had known he had the System for a long time, but the System was somewhat unscrupulous, requiring a human body to bind to.
At that time, his cultivation level was at three hundred thousand years, and even if he was envious of the System, he had no chance to transform. He was waiting for this one-million-year milestone.
While other ferocious beasts aspired to ascend to godhood, he disdained such ascension.
To ascend to the Divine Realm and be at the bottom of the ladder? Moreover, the Divine Realm discriminated against soul beasts; it was not a good place to mix in.
So, he had long planned to take this heaven-sent opportunity to transform into a human.
This Twenty-Fourth Grade Sacred Golden Lotus was a treasure given to him by the System to help with his transformation, its true name being "Tribulation-Crossing Golden Lotus."
Once his cultivation level reached a million years, at the time of the strongest heavenly tribulation, he could stimulate the Golden Lotus to preserve his True Spirit, converting the Power of Heavenly Tribulation and his million years of cultivation into nourishment for the Golden Lotus.
To nurture the most perfect body in this world.
If others were born of mortal flesh, then he would be forging a truly unprecedented Divine Body.
Such an opportunity was unheard of in Soul Land since ancient times.
It was hard to imagine the innate talent for cultivation that such a Divine Body would possess upon its emergence.
Honestly, Luo Yu was also quite anticipative.
Although the talents of the Three-eyed Golden Lion were also outstanding, after ascending to the Divine Realm, it would probably only be picked on. Didn't you see how strong Gu Yuena is? She's still lying low in the human world.
The Divine Body and System are the capital for a transmigrator's majestic rise.
Moreover, it was time to take this opportunity to truly enjoy the finer things of the human world.
To talk about love, to profess affection, to beat up Tang Lao San—is that not good?
After transmigrating for so long, training every day for the sake of crossing the tribulation. It has been exhausting.
He glanced over the task panel in his consciousness.
The target is to capture the supreme Female Pope?
Tsk tsk, for others, this would be hell-level difficulty.
But for him, the difficulty was not really so exaggerated, as he had already had interactions with her before.
What's this "True World's Number One Beast Martial Soul" anyway?
Could it be even more dashing than the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon?
It must be at least a God-level Martial Soul! Otherwise, it would be too lame, Luo Yu speculated.
In the core area of the Aquipeia Forest, beneath the lake, was a hidden sanctuary.
This was Gu Yuena's boudoir.
The home furnishings were relatively simple, a massive jade-stone bed, a round table carved from jade and agate next to it, and in the center of the room, a square pool. The pool was filled with swirling spiritual mist, rich with the essence of heaven and earth.
The Twenty-Fourth Grade Golden Lotus that Luo Yu transformed into was placed there, nourished by the Spiritual Liquid.
"You're getting a real bargain, buddy. All this Spiritual Liquid is my treasure."
"Now, can you explain to me what exactly is going on?"
Gu Yuena sat on the side, resting her elbow on the table, her hands propping up her cheeks, her purple pupils flickering with confusion.
Luo Yu explained succinctly, not intending to reveal anything about the System.
"I don't want to ascend, so I chose to transform and start over. This Golden Lotus is the treasure that can help me reincarnate through transformation."
Gu Yuena reproached him, "Are you stupid? You clearly could have succeeded in crossing the tribulation. Why the rush to prod the clouds of tribulation?"
Luo Yu didn't respond.
"Do you not realize that by succeeding in the tribulation, you'd have made it, becoming a god!" Gu Yuena spoke passionately, looking as frustrated as someone who couldn't stand the sight of wasted potential.
"What's so good about becoming a god?" Luo Yu retorted.
"Becoming a god means ascending to the Divine Realm! To have an unlimited lifespan!!"
Gu Yuena counted off on her fingers, teeth clenched in a cute rage, looking like an exquisite porcelain doll endowed with a gifted spirit.
"Yes, the Divine Realm has everything, but..."
"The Divine Realm doesn't have you."
The faint voice reverberated in the boudoir.
Gu Yuena immediately stood still, her purple eyes sparkling with myriad glimmers.
"What... what did you just say?"
The young girl's voice trembled slightly.
"Nothing."
Gu Yuena's expression was complex, with traces of softness flashing across her face before quickly being reined in.
"So why were you so eager to prod the clouds of tribulation and seek death?"
Luo Yu countered, "Well, were you happy when I blasted it?"
Gu Yuena, unable to contain the emotions she had just suppressed, quivered, her delicate body trembling, her beautiful eyes filled with waves of emotion as she failed to maintain her composure and cold demeanor.
"To ruin a million years of cultivation in an instant, I just want to know, was it worth it?"
"Why don't you ask if I regret it afterward?"
"Do you regret it then?" Gu Yuena asked instinctively, her usual majestic poise as the Dragon King nowhere to be found.
"No regrets."
In that moment, the tranquility in Gu Yuena's heart shattered completely. She was about to speak when...
"Ha ha ha ha." Boisterous laughter came from the Golden Lotus.
"What are you laughing at!"
The mood ruined, Gu Yuena frowned beautifully, brushing her disheveled silver hair behind her ears.
"Silly girl, I was just teasing you. I have a purpose for transforming."
"Nice, you're playing tricks on me!" Gu Yuena's eyes seemed fiery.
Luo Yu teased, "Tell me, do you feel like you fell in love with me just now?"
"Heh! I, Gu Yuena, don't understand mortal love. Fall in love with someone? That's impossible in this lifetime."
"That's good, I was really afraid you'd fall for me. If I happened to like another girl, you'd probably chase me down with a Firewood Knife."
Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't flatter yourself. How could I possibly fall for you!"
"Right, I'm not worthy of you!"
Gu Yuena opened her mouth in annoyance, where one could make out the shape of the words for "scoundrel."
