When the Ferocious Beasts, led by Di Tian, awakened from their slumber, the Lake of Life was no longer the home of the Sky Azure Bull Python, the Titan Giant Ape, and Xiao Wu. They instantly went from being masters of their domain to living under someone else's roof.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were relatively fine.
After all, both were 100,000-year Soul Beasts and possessed ancient, rare bloodlines, positioning them as gatekeepers.
But Xiao Wu, however, seemed very awkward.
This was the first time Xiao Wu had seen Di Tian.
His black hair was like ink, his golden eyes were incomparably majestic, and he wore a black Dragon Robe. His aura was as profound as the deep sea, and simply standing there exuded a powerful oppressive feeling that made it hard to breathe.
Apparently, Ferocious Beasts over 200,000 years old could already switch between their beast and human forms.
Di Tian's gaze was indifferent. Although he looked at Xiao Wu, it was as if there was no one in the place he was looking at. He was truly arrogant, treating Xiao Wu like an ant.
"A shapeshifting Soul Beast? Interesting."
"Why shapeshift and re-cultivate when you could be a proper Soul Beast?"
Xiao Wu's face was pale. She opened her mouth but couldn't speak.
The Sky Azure Bull Python beside her quickly said:
"Lord Beast God, the reason Xiao Wu shapeshifted and re-cultivated is because her mother was hunted by humans. To avoid repeating the same tragedy and to avenge her mother, she wanted to enter the human world..."
"Hmm?"
Di Tian gave him an indifferent look, and the powerful aura pressed the Sky Azure Bull Python to the ground, its bloodline trembling with fear, utterly defenseless.
A pure-blooded dragon, nearly 800,000 years of cultivation... neither of these was something the Sky Azure Bull Python could contend with. If Di Tian wanted to kill it, it wouldn't even have a chance to resist.
"Did I ask you?"
A hint of killing intent permeated the faint voice.
Xiao Wu forced down the fear in her heart and said tremblingly:
"Lord Beast God, I'm sorry, I was too slow to react. Da Ming helped me answer because he was worried you'd wait too long."
The Sky Azure Bull Python also spoke with difficulty:
"Please, Lord Beast God, forgive me!"
Di Tian snorted coldly:
"Avenge your mother?"
"Heh, who knows if you truly want to avenge your mother, or if you were scared witless and no longer dare to be a Soul Beast?"
"Let me ask you, when you reach level 70 and completely transform into a human, and a war breaks out between humans and Soul Beasts, will you help humans or Soul Beasts?"
"Or will you be a fence-sitter, helping whichever side has the upper hand?"
With that, a faint killing intent emanated from Di Tian.
He extended his hand, and extreme dark energy surged. The Dragon God Claw was charging, emitting an endless aura of destruction.
Xiao Wu's face was ashen.
She closed her eyes, resigned to her fate.
Although the human world was hypocritical and cunning, it wouldn't openly kill someone at the slightest disagreement. The Soul Beast world, however, truly had no rules, only absolute power to dictate them!
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were both extremely anxious!
"Oh?"
Di Tian let out a soft exclamation, looking playfully at the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. These two juniors, in their desperation, were actually able to break through his pressure.
What next? Would they dare to attack him?
The Sky Azure Bull Python wasn't that reckless, and while the Titan Giant Ape was impulsive, it wasn't stupid. They saw the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape rush to Xiao Wu's side, shielding her behind them.
The Sky Azure Bull Python's head was deeply bowed.
The Titan Giant Ape knelt on both knees.
Both beasts completely abandoned their dignity as 100,000-year Soul Beasts, pleading for Xiao Wu!
"Lord Beast God, Xiao Wu has a blood feud with humans! Although she shapeshifted and re-cultivated, no matter what, her heart is with us Soul Beasts!"
"Please, Lord Beast God, see clearly!"
Di Tian didn't speak, and the situation reached a stalemate.
Only Di Tian's extended hand had completely dragonized, emitting an aura of destruction that made the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python's hearts pound, feeling as if they could perish at any moment.
Tears welled up in Xiao Wu's eyes.
"Da Ming! Er Ming!"
Di Tian sneered, finally dispersing the Dragon God Claw, and said coldly to Xiao Wu:
"The Master wants to see you. I'll spare your life for now."
In fact, from beginning to end, Di Tian was merely acting and never truly harbored killing intent.
He extended his hand and directly grabbed Xiao Wu.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were shocked by the sight and instinctively tried to block him, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Di Tian effortlessly sent them flying with a casual wave.
As a pure-blooded dragon, Di Tian could easily overpower and kill the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape using only his physical strength.
Xiao Wu's consciousness faded into a coma…
…
"My Lord, I've brought the 100,000-year Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbit."
"Mm, good."
Di Tian, the majestic Beast God, dressed in a black Dragon Robe, completely shed his arrogance in front of a silver-haired woman. He respectfully reported:
"My Lord, I've investigated everything thoroughly."
"Xiao Wu's mother died at the hands of human Soul Masters. She transformed and re-cultivated, most likely to avenge her mother, but other possibilities cannot be ruled out."
"Xiao Wu has an extremely close relationship with the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape; they are likely family who have faced life and death together."
"The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape even managed to break through my intimidation for Xiao Wu."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly, her eyes clear.
"Not bad, quite loyal and righteous."
After learning of Xiao Wu's existence, Gu Yuena not only felt no aversion but was actually delighted.
This was because the Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest had emerged but didn't understand the human world outside. Although Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts could transform into human form, they found it difficult to integrate into human society.
Moreover, Ferocious Beasts couldn't conceal their Soul Beast aura.
Thus, Xiao Wu became the chosen chess piece. She had lived in the human world for ten years and had likely integrated completely. Once she reached level 70, even a Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to discern her true identity.
She was simply the perfect choice to infiltrate the human world.
Gu Yuena and Di Tian had discussed this matter long ago.
Therefore, Di Tian's earlier difficulty with Xiao Wu was part of the plan.
It was a test for Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu being brought to see Gu Yuena now meant she had passed the test.
Her mother died at the hands of human Soul Masters, giving her a deep-seated hatred for them. The possibility of her betraying Soul Beasts was very low, and her bond with Da Ming and Er Ming provided a weakness.
In short, she passed the political review.
Gu Yuena and Di Tian could then entrust her with a significant responsibility.
Gu Yuena extended a finger and gently tapped, a gentle surge of Soul Power awakening Xiao Wu. Once Xiao Wu's eyes cleared from their daze, she spoke:
"Xiao Wu, I am the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, and also Di Tian's Lord."
"Of course, you can also call me… the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts."
Xiao Wu was very reserved.
She looked at the woman before her, whose three thousand silver strands cascaded like a waterfall, whose face was exquisitely beautiful and noble, and whose figure was proud and graceful, like a goddess from the nine heavens, making it difficult to look directly at her. Yet, in her heart, she thought:
This is the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts?
But the one next to Lin Xiao also seems to be the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts!
How can one mountain hold two tigers? How can one beast serve two masters?
It would be strange if they didn't fight when they met!
