(A/N: Hit a writer's block, decided to stop thinking and just wing it. As most chinese novels say....Please leave your brains here. I won't take them...not because of anything else, because you all probably don't have any either like me.)
You know, when Yuhao first came to the Valley, he never expected everything to go so smoothly.
The Immortal Herbs mostly became his supporters, some were sleeping, one got tied up, so yes, Yuhao didn't quite expect this.
But, considering that even locking up multiple people in a prison even with good food and environment for a few years could still make them have resentment, these herbs who have been stuck in the valley for around nine thousand something years will definitely have resentment even if they had the mildest tempers.
So, Yuhao, currently looking at the Spirit Beasts, yes, he increased the amount of Spirit Beasts serving him, each of the Zodiacs having a group under them and Jinghui along with Tianmeng being the leader of the Zodiacs.
So, looking at the beasts he basically named and modified according to the configuration of the Zodiacs and the sheer amount of his current subordinates, most of them Spirit Beasts....Yuhao had to ask himself, was he really not some Spirit Beast Lord?
(Di Tian: Master! Please take over! Eh? Silver Dragon King? Who's that? I don't know her! -The following is from the interview of Beast God Di Tian after a few years.)
As for Humans? Looking at the rabbit eared girl, a guy with a Bone Dragon, person with a literal neon blue sword, all recruited by Tang Ya and Bei Bei, he was speechless.
[Jiang Nannan| Rank 28 Soul Grandmaster]
[Martial Soul: Soft Boned Wind Rabbit(2 Star)]
[Jing Feng| Rank 24 Soul Grandmaster]
[Martial Soul: Bone Dragon(2 Star)]
[Wen Xuan| Rank 27 Soul Grandmaster]
[Martial Soul: Water Spirit Sword(2 Star)]
...What a great Bei Bei, directly pulling in three people from Shrek who all would definitely become Titled Douluo.
Currently, Yuhao only had seven humans including Ruoxi and himself, mainly because most of the older people wouldn't be loyal to a kid.
So, he does still consider recruiting humans, but it would take a while, probably when he's stronger.
After all, he's still young, although he does have a ten year time limit.
As he looked at the Spirit Beasts that were using their abilities to mold and shape earth, constructing roads and houses, Yuhao had to admit, these were truly versatile, although they do lack a fashion sense, they compensated with the ability to follow most instructions on blueprints.
Huh? How they read it? Isn't it simple for Tianmeng to copy some simple memories like language into someone's mind.
So, Yuhao watched them build a tower...well, if a building of 3 floors could be called a tower, anyways, this was going to be a temporary base, he'd definitely improve it later, this was just a direct copy he made from the Slide he has, how much stuff is in that slide? He doesn't know.
Using spirit beasts to manipulate earth, metal, fire and even water to build a stable tower, he also made glass, clear ones, he still doesn't understand it perfectly but, hey, if it works, it works... something he learnt from his Soul Ring experiments.
"Bei Bei, what are you doing?" Yuhao who stopped admiring the framework of his tower(fake, it's only three floors), asked Bei Bei who was carrying a Soul Tool that looked like a shovel.
"Ah? I'm going to bury someone." Bei Bei replied honestly, eh? That's actually a shovel?
Wait! Not the important part, "Bury what?!" Yuhao asked as he turned his head back suddenly, "Oh..I found a poor person who died nearby, so I thought I'd atleast bury the body for him" Bei Bei said as Yuhao was confused, did Bei Bei really not kill someone? He didn't know.
So, Yuhao followed Bei Bei to the "corpse", to see a handsome young man, looking around 20-21 with flaming red hair falling around him, his aura was almost negligible to the point Yuhao would also think he was dead...if it wasn't for a certain panel.
[Ma Hongjun| Rank 99 Limit Douluo (2nd Class God)]
[Phoenix God Position (3 Star~5 Star) - The fragmented God Position of the Pheonix God, a former God King who was killed by the Dragon God and had his Soul destroyed. Potential to reach God King]
[Authority of Life and Fire -10% (4 Star) - The Authority of Life and Fire, The power of Nirvana, although merely a fragmented power of the Pheonix God King]
[God King Divine Position(5 Star) - Origin of a God King position, able to allow condensation of a God King.]
[Pheonix God Bloodline(4 Star) - The Bloodline of the Pheonix God, grants the potential of Life and Fire.]
[Realm Supression(Gray 4) - Supression of the world on the Gods, power sealed to Limit of the World.]
"....Eh?"

"So... He's not dead?" Bei Bei asked Yuhao who had Jinghui carry the man to a different location, not the Valley, because Ma Hongjun? Shrek's Original Seven Devil member, Tang San's friend? You really think this is a coincidence?
He, Yuhao, doesn't believe it's a mere coincidence.
And, a God falling unconscious due to energy exhaustion...is quite suspicious.
Yuhao was now considering multiple options, he had already asked Tianmeng to watch Ma Hongjun, although Tianmeng and Yuhao probably couldn't beat him in a head-on fight if Ma Hongjun unsealed his power or something, if Tianmeng delayed him enough, Yuhao could delete the God Position and all other entries, effectively turning him into a Quasi-God.
"....So, why do you think he's here in Douluo?" Tianmeng stood beside Yuhao and asked mentally, "I don't know."
"I suppose it's possible the Gods sent him to investigate, after all, Douluo World was probably isolated from the God Realm by System." Yuhao put forward his hypothesis because the System did mention a ten year time period.
As for Ma Hongjun coming down? It probably didn't expect it, after all, who would expect something like a God sealing his power and running down to the mortal world.
"It's possible, but considering that Ma Hongjun according to System's bits and pieces of knowledge it gave us, was supposedly in self isolation, it's quite curious." Tianmeng said, "You think Tang San sent him down?" He asked
"...I don't know." Yuhao sighed, he wasn't omniscient or all knowing after all.
"Say...Can we recruit him?" Tianmeng asked a surprising question, making Yuhao look at Tianmeng in confusion.
"...What..?"
"...What?" -Tianmeng
"...Who?" - Ma Hongjun
"Holy Crap! A Ghost!"
