Diary—Chapter 15: The King's Responsibility, the Women's Reactions
Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
"He is the only one who retains memories of his past life. It's as if he has to face the extraterritorial demons and gods alone. I can imagine how much pressure he's under."
Gu Yuena was deeply moved.
The Silver Dragon King herself was also under immense pressure.
Gu Yuena understood that as the leader in the hearts of all soul beasts, as long as she chose to go to war with the God Realm, all the soul beasts would follow her.
The feeling of carrying such heavy responsibility was that all your subordinates looked to you with anticipation and trust.
Gu Yuena didn't want her fellow soul beasts to be harmed constantly, nor did she want the originally free soul beasts to become slaves. So, she had to resist the oppression from the God Realm.
In the past, whether it was Di Tian or other ferocious beasts, they had always placed their hopes on Gu Yuena, expecting her to lead them to change the fate of the soul-beast clan. But she knew the pain and loneliness that came with that hope.
Having truly witnessed the overwhelming strength of the gods in the God Realm, Gu Yuena knew how slim the chances of success were.
Yet, even so, she could only grit her teeth and persevere.
Otherwise, if even she, the leader of the soul beasts, was afraid of the God Realm, how could other soul beasts have the courage to fight it?
But now it was different.
Through this diary copy, Gu Yuena saw Luo Ye and realized that he was willing to shoulder this responsibility and help her change the fate of the soul-beast clan.
Though she had never met Luo Ye, after reading the diary's contents, she inevitably developed some goodwill toward him.
Of course, these feelings weren't love between men and women, but rather a recognition of his identity as the son of destiny. He was a trustworthy partner, someone she could fight alongside in the future.
"It seems I still need to find an opportunity to meet him someday."
Gu Yuena looked at Luo Ye's name in the diary, and a bright light flashed in her purple vertical pupils.

The Extreme North.
"Xuedi, judging from what this guy said, did we fight the God Realm together with him in his previous life?"
The Ice Empress Scorpion, also known as the Ice Empress, blinked and asked the Heavenly Snow Woman in front of him.
Xue Di didn't respond immediately, instead asking back after confirming that there was no new content in the diary copy.
"If the opportunity presents itself and winning could change the fate of the soul beasts, do you think we would participate?"
Bingdi was stunned by the question. After pondering for a moment, she replied seriously:
"Definitely!"
"As the king of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan and the leader of the Extreme North, if such an opportunity arises, we absolutely wouldn't miss it—even if it means standing against the God Realm."
Xue Di nodded slightly, gazing at the endless glaciers and snow. She stretched out her delicate palms, catching the falling snowflakes softly.
"Because of the environment in the Extreme North, apart from human soul masters with ice attributes, few humans come here. Compared to other soul-beasts gathering places on the continent, the number of soul-beasts killed in our Extreme North is the lowest."
"But it's only a matter of time. As the number of human soul masters increases, the shortage of soul beasts will become inevitable. When that happens, the Extreme North will surely become their target."
"The soul beasts here can only hide temporarily—they can't be safe forever. So if Luo Ye is willing to change the situation for the soul beasts, we, the strongest in the Extreme North, will not stand idly by."
A king must bear the responsibilities of a king.
As the two most powerful beasts in the Far North, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress knew they had to shoulder this burden.
When they saw Luo Ye's diary mention that they were close friends from his previous lives and that they fought against Tang San and the God Realm together, both the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress believed it without hesitation.
Ice Empress muttered with a look of regret crossing her face.
"I've always been upset about letting that bastard Tian Meng escape. I never thought it would end up as Luo Ye's soul ring."
Xue Di was caught off guard by this.
Even the Ice Empress was envious of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's luck.
This useless ice silkworm, who had reached a cultivation level beyond theirs by consuming ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow, was just one step away from breaking through to a million-year-old soul beast.
However, in front of Luo Ye— the Son of Luck, the biological son of the will of Douluo Continent—the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was far behind.
To help Luo Ye grow faster, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was sacrificed directly to Luo Ye and became his soul ring.
Indeed, this was most likely the work of the plane's will. In her view, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's ability to find those ten-thousand-year-old ice marrows was probably planned by the plane's will.
While Xue Di was speculating, Bing Di asked,
"Xue Di, now that we know the future from the diary, what should we do?"
Xue Di hesitated, unsure how to respond.
Finally, she spoke slowly:
"Let's wait and see what Luo Ye does next. If there's an opportunity, we can try to find him in advance."

Sky Water Academy dormitory.*
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er finished reading the contents of the diary and felt a mixture of emotions.
Shui Yue'er, the older sister, couldn't hold back her anger first.
"Sister, are we also connected to Luo Ye?"
Shui Bing'er hesitated, then replied thoughtfully:
"I think the reason we received this diary is probably related to our relationship with him in his past life."
"Just like Luo Ye said in his diary, he's the only one reborn. No one else can understand this loneliness. He's had to make countless efforts to restore relationships from his previous life."
"And the appearance of this diary not only helps him grow faster but also allows us to understand things in advance. This way, we can better understand him, return to his side, and join forces to fight against the extraterritorial demons and gods."
"So, besides us, there must be others who received a copy of this diary—especially those named in Luo Ye's entries."
Shui Yue'er looked confused, her eyes showing a hint of innocence.
She suspected she and her sister weren't reading the same diary. How could her sister see so much in the contents?
She asked,
"So, what are we supposed to do now?"
Shui Bing'er looked at Luo Ye's name in the diary and shook her head.
"Not for now. Luo Ye already said in his diary that he was going to Shrek Academy to take Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong away. Once he accomplishes that, he probably won't stay there anymore."
"Maybe we can try to attract them to our Sky Water Academy instead."
{T/N: What I know is that Shui Yue'er is one or two years older than Shui Bing'er. And Shui Bing'er is the youngest among the Sky Water Team (Sugar Water Group) in the continental soul master competition}
