The great battle in the Divine Realm for control over its authority between Tang San and the God of Destruction saw Tang San successfully turn the tide by persuading the God of Destruction's wife—the Goddess of Life, one of the Five Divine Kings—to his side.
The Goddess of Life sacrificed a tenth of her Divine King-level divine power to unleash the Kiss of Life.
If not for the suppression from the Golden Dragon King bloodline, this single Kiss of Life would have been enough to allow Tang Wulin to attain the position of a second-level deity in the Divine Realm based on its accumulated foundation alone.
Now, through his connection to the Divine Realm, Tang San had drawn divine-level life force from the Forest of Life, the Goddess of Life's domain.
With the Kiss of Life once again activated, it resonated with the golden wheat spikes infused with world essence within the pocket dimension, offering cultivation support comparable to the combined might of the Golden Tree and the Tree of Life.
Tang San nodded in satisfaction. This was indeed the best way to make use of the Forest of Life.
"Dad, Uncle Da Ming, what are you looking at?"At this moment, influenced by the initial awakening of the Kiss of Life, even Tang Wulin's voice carried a gentle vitality.
Tang San's eyelid twitched at the sight of the shockingly deep green glow atop his son's head.
Just as he was about to ask Da Ming to temporarily cut off the spiritual projection connection, an untimely development occurred—the spiritual projection screen, which had remained calm until now, suddenly showed unexpected changes.
Immediately, it caught everyone's attention.
Thus, the real-time spiritual projection could no longer be turned off.
Tang Wulin also learned from Da Ming about the drastic upheavals that occurred in the Star Dou Forest while he was cultivating and awakening the Kiss of Life.
Er Ming's terrible fate left him stunned and silent, while Di Tian being outwitted by his father brought him uncontainable joy...
But when he heard that Di Tian, due to the upgraded Yama Sticker, had suffered brain damage and suddenly turned into a tyrant and despot, dominating the core of the Star Dou Forest and trapping nearly all the female beasts inside the luxurious buildings made from the Tree of Life...
Tang Wulin's heart dropped, and he anxiously cried out:"What about Gu Yue?!"
"Gu Yue wouldn't be in there, right? She has the Silver Dragon King bloodline. Di Tian would want to devour her, so surely he wouldn't..."
He believed in his wife. Gu Yue would remain loyal and steadfast, even to the point of death.
Di Tian's brain couldn't possibly be so fried that he'd confuse the importance between the Silver Dragon King bloodline and satisfying his perverse urges...If he ruined both, that would be an irredeemable disaster.
At least, that was what Tang Wulin hoped.
Da Ming looked at Tang Wulin's anxious and hopeful eyes, feeling slightly awkward as he said:"I couldn't confirm if Gu Yue is in there or not."
Da Ming wasn't lying—after learning about Er Ming's likely death at Di Tian's hands, he had no mood to investigate anything else.
Tang Wulin panicked and was about to ask more questions, but the spiritual projection screen distracted him.
At that moment, the screen displayed rippling patterns from the barrier surrounding the luxury buildings.
Someone was coming out.
Yuanen Yehui stepped out, walking in an awkward and unnatural way.
"Yehui?!" Tang Wulin exclaimed in shock.
Then clenched his teeth and cursed:"Yuanen Yehui! Traitor!"
Now he finally understood why she had betrayed him at such a critical moment!
She had already been secretly involved with Di Tian!
"Human and beast in illicit relations!"
In that moment, Tang Wulin's hostility toward Di Tian grew even stronger.
And he wasn't the only one with a strong reaction—the soul beasts watching the projection were also greatly stirred.
Buzzing whispers filled the air:
"Tsk... Boss Di Tian is really keeping beauties hidden in his golden house!"
"But… it's a human?"
"So what? Didn't our previous lord also fall for a human?"
These words made the Ten Thousand Demon King fearful and deeply worried.
He feared that even if he guarded the soul beasts with his life, Di Tian might still target them.
More worrisome was the thought: Could Di Tian be repeating the previous lord's mistakes?
That must absolutely not happen!Di Tian could be reckless, but not that reckless!
Truth be told, the Ten Thousand Demon King had been traumatized by Gu Yuena, their previous lord. He had long developed a "once bitten, twice shy" mentality.
Before he could act, Yuanen Yehui had already tried to flee.
Her body trembled, her legs shaky, her face flushed red and hot.
Having just exited the barrier, she was immediately stared at by a crowd of soul beasts. Her embarrassment made her curl her toes and wish she could disappear.
Just moments ago, she had completed a bloodline exchange to gain a divine beast's bloodline, and Di Tian had suddenly pulled her out without warning.
No signs, no warm-up—he had utterly overwhelmed her.
To be fair, she loved Di Tian whether he was domineering or dazed.
But her current physical condition couldn't keep up with those soul beasts.
So, she waited for a rare moment when Di Tian wasn't with her, and hurriedly escaped in panic and shame.
Then she saw the soul beasts outside.
Her violet eyes flicked left and right. Upon seeing the Lake of Life, her eyes lit up.
She took a few quick steps and, at her top speed, leapt into the lake with a loud splash.
Just then, Lan Fozi became the second "person" to step out of the barrier.
Panting heavily, sweat beading on her forehead.
Her appearance shifted the focus from Yuanen Yehui to herself.
Seeing someone coherent they could interrogate, many soul beasts gathered around.
An octopus-like beast was first to speak:
"How's the Beast God? Is he... still normal?"
It voiced the concern in everyone's hearts—but didn't get an answer.
Lan Fuozi's face was pale with terror, as if she had witnessed something horrifying.
She murmured:"A hundred times… a hundred times! A hundred times… a hundred times…"
"What?!" the octopus beast exclaimed. "The Beast God did it to you a hundred times?!"
"No, not me!"
Lan Fozi blurted out the answer instinctively—and then froze.
She'd been too consumed by the horror of "a hundred times" to notice the crowd surrounding her.
"Ahhhh!!!"
A sharp shriek echoed across the core of the Star Dou Forest.
