Heaven Dou City, Imperial Palace.
"Reporting to the Holy Son, the Pope has arrived and is currently resting in the Sacred Hall." Snake Lance Douluo came to report.
Yang Yunhai gave a slight nod. "Elder She, these next few days I'll trouble you and Elder Ci to guard Chuan'er and Yue'er."
"Please rest assured, Holy Son. The two of us will guard them with our lives." Snake Lance Douluo replied respectfully.
Yang Yunhai nodded, then turned to the side. "Teacher, Martial Uncle, Grandpa, let's go."
"Alright." Dugu Bo and the other two responded, following Yang Yunhai as they soared into the sky.
Before long, the four of them arrived at the Heaven Dou Sacred Hall.
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope." Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo gave a slight bow, showing a token of courtesy.
"There's no time to lose. Let's set off immediately." Yang Yunhai spoke directly.
He knew very well that after what he had said in the Pope's Hall last time, Bibi Dong wouldn't want to waste words with him.
Bibi Dong merely gave a slight nod, saying nothing more.
Thus, under the cover of night, the five of them departed swiftly toward Star Dou Forest.
After several days, they finally reached the core region.
Landing on the ground, Yang Yunhai immediately released his Blue Silver Grass ability—only to pause in surprise.
He had found them in one sweep.
He had considered that after the Azure Bull Python was taken away so easily, the Titan Giant Ape might have fled elsewhere. If so, the three Thousand Ton Ant Emperors would likely move in to claim the territory. And indeed, that was exactly what happened. Within his mental net, the three brothers were leisurely drinking by the lakeside.
Withdrawing his spiritual power, Yang Yunhai turned and said, "Let's go, they're by the lake in the core region."
Two quarters of an hour later, the five of them arrived above the lake.
'To detect them from so far away… just how terrifying has his spiritual power become?' Bibi Dong couldn't help but glance at Yang Yunhai in shock.
At their speed, two quarters of an hour of flight was no small distance.
"Teacher, Martial Uncle." Yang Yunhai called.
The two didn't hesitate. They instantly released their domain abilities, light spreading outward as the three beasts were restrained.
"Rank 98 peak…" Bibi Dong's face changed. 'How long has it been? And already Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo have reached such a level?'
Yang Yunhai paid her no mind. He leapt down, landing not far in front of the three beasts.
Raising his hand, the Ancient Life Tree appeared in his palm. Without hesitation, he unleashed Martial Soul True Body. Golden light blazed forth, transforming into a golden ancient tree over 40 meters tall.
'His Martial Soul has evolved again.' Bibi Dong's eyes flickered in astonishment. She could clearly feel the terrifying surge of life force radiating from the golden tree.
The next moment, pale-gold light rippled outward from the tree, spreading in waves. Wherever it passed, plants were dyed gold. At the same time, a faint spiritual wave swept outward, causing the elemental energy in the world to stir and converge toward the tree.
All around, faint golden motes rose from the plants—life force.
'He can actually convert the elemental energies of heaven and earth into life force through his Martial Soul True Body…' Bibi Dong's pupils contracted, utterly shaken.
Within moments, in this lush Star Dou Forest, the surroundings had become a golden sea.
"Retreat!" A terrifying wave of spiritual power surged out. The approaching soul beasts froze in their tracks.
This pressure was overwhelming—so vast it made them feel as though a single thought from him could erase them. Coupled with the aura of ancient familiarity, instinctive reverence surged within them. Regardless of age or species, they dared not advance.
"Teacher, Martial Uncle, that will do."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo nodded, withdrawing their domains. Yet the three Thousand Ton Ant Emperors still didn't dare to move. Heads lowered, they looked cautious and meek, terrified of offending the ancient yet kindred presence before them.
Bibi Dong's face paled slightly. 'Too strong… In this boundless spiritual pressure, I feel like an insect. It's not Yang Yunhai I'm facing—it's the entire forest itself. How does he do this?'
'Lan Hao's soul bone ability really is monstrous.' Within his Martial Soul True Body, Yang Yunhai was secretly stunned as well.
At this moment, he felt like he had become the embodiment of Star Dou Forest, with the power to command all.
With a thought, his consciousness extended deep into the Lake of Life, into the golden ancient tree standing there. The next instant, his spiritual power touched the lake, where the figure of Di Tian appeared—who had just been about to emerge before Yang Yunhai's vast voice stopped him.
"Senior Di Tian, don't come out. The one with me is the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, and her stance is uncertain."
"So that's how it is." Di Tian nodded.
"The plan is proceeding well." Yang Yunhai continued, "The Angel God and the Sea God—my wives—are both undergoing divine assessments. I've come not only to help the Rakshasa God's inheritor obtain her soul ring, but also to use this chance to convert the forest's energy into life force to strengthen you all."
"This golden ancient tree's bloodline is not far below yours. I will leave behind gathered life force here. Once I leave, you may absorb it to aid your cultivation."
"Many thanks." Di Tian bowed politely.
With the vast vegetation of Star Dou Forest, and the abundance of plant-type soul beasts, even with Yang Yunhai only covering the core area, the converted life energy was already immense. Even a portion of it would bring great benefit.
"It's only right." Yang Yunhai smiled. "That said, I'll take my leave." His consciousness pulled back to the surface, hovering above the forest. With a thought, life energy surged across the vast golden zone.
Turning his awareness back to the three Thousand Ton Ant Emperors, he spoke aloud this time.
"Do you wish to become divine beasts—gaining eternal life?"
The three beasts froze, glancing at each other before nodding frantically. Who wouldn't want eternal life?
"Good. In a moment, I'll use the life energy gathered here to help you ascend to 100,000 years. Afterward, two of you must sacrifice yourselves to become this lady's soul rings. She is the inheritor of a God's position, with a high chance of succeeding. As her soul rings, your souls will reside within. Once she becomes a God, you too will rise as divine beasts."
"Even if not immediately, eventually it will happen."
The three beasts immediately looked toward Bibi Dong, inexplicably uneasy. Her aura made them instinctively uncomfortable.
"There's another choice. You may anchor your souls into soul bones, and I'll take you away. From then on, you'll likely cultivate alongside me toward Godhood. Though I've yet to claim a divine position, my two wives are already inheriting theirs. With their help, I will surely find a fitting one in the future."
"So choose. Either way, you won't be leaving today."
The three exchanged glances. After a pause, the one in the middle lifted its head.
"My lord, we choose to follow you." Its spiritual wave was faint, but resolute.
'We can't beat him—what else can we do?'
"Good. Since you've chosen, let's begin." Yang Yunhai replied calmly.
With a thought, he drew in the vast surrounding life energy and poured it into the three beasts. Their bodies trembled, letting out humming cries of pleasure.
At the same time, four golden beams split off, surging into Bibi Dong, Dugu Bo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo.
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth but did not resist.
Then, in the next instant, a vast spiritual force suddenly seized her, lifting her body uncontrollably into the air.
"Yang Yunhai, what do you think you're doing?"
Bibi Dong's expression changed, her voice cold.
