“She and I have been the same person all along. Brother, have you heard of split personalities?” Gu Yuena looked at him with eyes full of sadness.

Tang Wulin was still in a daze. “Split personalities?”

Gu Yuena nodded. “When I was a little girl, I had a split personality due to circumstances. Since then, my personality has been split in two. In truth, the ‘Gu Yue’ you know is my main personality. Na’er is a secondary personality created when I was young. I suffered a memory loss and, because of my split personality, I became Na’er. Later, you brought me home. Na’er gradually grew under the loving care of father, mother, and you.”

“It was only when my family members found me that my personality as Gu Yue was restored. Because Na’er’s personality had already developed its own individuality, it was at odds with the main personality. Due to the differences between Na’er’s and Gu Yue’s personalities, I almost had a mental breakdown back then. Hence, the two personalities can only coexist.”

“Gu Yue doesn’t understand why my persona is so stubborn. From her point of view, the secondary personality should merge with the main personality after the main has awakened. She tried it once but discovered that many aspects of her personality will be assimilated with Na’er’s after the merging. She was afraid it may affect her future objective. Hence, she decided not to merge with me in the end.”

“The two personalities grew together and Na’er became more independent. By some special techniques, they became two people. They’re the Na’er and Gu Yue you know. Gu Yue is curious about you. She can’t understand why I’m so attached to you. She doesn’t believe in our relationship. Hence, she made a wager with me. She said that she’ll approach you with an ordinary appearance and entice you to fall in love with her. If you fell in love with her, it proves that your feelings toward me are fake. That’ll mean I lose. If I lose, I’ll have to give up my personality and merge with her. If she loses instead, she’ll then have to give up her personality to allow me to takeover the main personality when we merge.”

Tang Wulin was completely flabbergasted by the elucidation. Although he had always been curious about the relationship between Gu Yue and Na’er, he never expected it to turn out like this. The explanation sounded like a fable. It could not even be considered unimaginable. It seemed like a myth!

Gu Yuena continued, “In the end, I lost. During the Sea God Lake Date Festival, I lost. After all, you only thought of Na’er as your little sister, considering we were only together when we were young. Although I was not happy with the outcome, there was nothing I could do. If I can remain by your side, I believe that big brother will fall in love with me as well. However, I lost.”

When she said this, she suddenly smiled. She did not seem to be in any pain in spite of her loss.

“I lost, but Gu Yue didn’t win either. She made you fall in love with her, but she has also fallen in love with you in the process!”

When she said this, a bitterness crept into her smile, “We only truly understood each other after the Sea God Lake Date Festival had ended. Her personality and mine didn’t seem to be at odds anymore. So, we decided to merge. It’s because I know that her love for you will never change. We’re the same, she and I, and we’ll love only one person.”

“I thought that I’d surely disappear and become a part of her, no longer separate. However, she didn’t merge with me completely. Instead, she put me away in a safe place. I only understood when I found out that she’d lost her memory while saving you. As a result, our personalities communicated with each other again. She was afraid that my disappearance will sadden you. Her love toward you is deeper than I thought.”

When Tang Wulin heard this, he shuddered at the thought. “What about her? Where’s she now?”

Gu Yuena sighed softly. “Do you remember the time in the abyss? When the abyssal plane’s great powers attacked, she willingly sacrificed her personality to protect you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to unleash the Dragon God’s power with such intensity. Even a lord of the abyss was averted momentarily. After that, she let go of everything to allow me to take over this body completely. Since that’s the case, I can be with you without reservation.”

“But, she’s really dumb. We’re still one, after all. Just as how I’ve always been a part of her consciousness, a part of her exists in my consciousness as well. I protected her consciousness and put her in a deep sleep to recuperate. She can awaken again when I break through to a Title Douluo. The only thing is, I’m not sure how I can face her now. After all, her obsession over certain matters is too strong. There are some issues that we’ll have to face sooner or later. It’s also why we can’t be with you.”

Tang Wulin could not help but ask, “What obsession are you talking about? Can’t she face it with me?”

Na’er looked at Tang Wulin deeply. “You’re in love with her, after all! I don’t like this, brother.”

Tang Wulin was too stunned. He did not know what to say.

“It’s best that you remain in the dark about it. Otherwise, it’ll only deepen your pain. We’ll talk about how our futures should be after she awakes. However, I need to remind you of certain matters now.”

“Just as how you’ve always been curious about the relationship between Gu Yue and I, we’re actually curious about you as well. Why is the Golden Dragon King bloodline inside you? Based on our observations, it’s the true Golden Dragon King power, and it’s not just as simple as inheriting the bloodline. It’s because the Golden Dragon King’s powers are too powerful that it’s sealed away in different parts. It’ll be released in stages as your strength improves. That’s how you’ve become this powerful.”

“Although the Golden Dragon King is powerful, it’ll also bring you grave problems. It’s the same as the Silver Dragon King’s powers which Gu Yue and I inherited.”

“A long time ago, the Dragon God led a great army of divine beasts in an attack on the deities in the Divine Realm. Although a huge part of the battle was due to the conflict between the human-dominated deities and the divine beasts, the Dragon God itself was accountable.”

“When the Dragon God became a god, it had its own Godhood tablet as well. It governed the power of destruction and creation. It’s one of the primal powers of the universe. The Dragon God came across it out of sheer luck. Although it had a weaker influence as a deity, it was still a fundamental power of the universe. That’s why it’s so powerful. In a way, the Dragon God’s individual combat strength is more powerful than any of the Divine Realm’s Five Great God Kings.”

“However, the universe is fair. Behind the power is a shortcoming. Undoubtedly, the power of creation is very powerful since it can create life. It even created the most powerful clan on the Douluo Continent, the Dragon Clan. At the same time, the power of destruction is even more terrifying. It’s filled with an aura that can destroy heaven and earth. The end point of creation is destruction while the end point of destruction is creation. These two forces complement each other. Hence, there’s also a dual divine personality within the Dragon God, just like what Gu Yue and I’ve now. The only thing is that it’s a greater problem for the Dragon God. The two divine personalities are completely at odds with each other, and they’re equally powerful. The creation divine personality governs the Dragon God’s senses of the entire universe and controls the universe’s origin power. At the same time, it’s also controlled by the Dragon God’s wisdom and rationale.”

“On the other hand, the destruction personality governs the power to destroy heaven and earth and the Dragon God’s primary body. However, it’s controlled by a savage attribute.”

“Simply put, the Dragon God can be divided into a wise, farsighted Dragon God and a wild, violent Dragon God. Later, when the Dragon God lost in the battle of the Divine Realm, it was split into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. The Silver Dragon King managed to escape while the Golden Dragon King was trapped in the Divine Realm. It was because the Golden Dragon King is the wild Dragon God’s divine personality. The only thing we don’t know is how the Golden Dragon King’s power ended up in your body.”

“Its power has been strengthening you all this while, until you’re so much more powerful than the soul masters of the same rank. Actually, you’ve never been able to control the Golden Dragon King’s core power which is its ferocity! The Golden Dragon King is most terrifying when it goes wild. In such a condition, it’s practically indomitable.”
