The silver-haired woman blinked her clear, translucent purple eyes, trying to tap the screen.
Her finger missed, passing directly through the light.
"Hmm?"
She tilted her head, her slender fingers gently pinching her chin, her clear purple eyes filled with confusion, like a naive college student.
The ferocious beasts below dared not look up. They knew that the stunningly beautiful woman hovering above them was the Soul Beast Lord that Di Tian had spoken of.
The tremor stemming from their bloodline was undeniable; her bloodline was even nobler than Di Tian's Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King bloodline!
This bloodline suppression made all the surrounding ferocious beasts afraid to stand.
They had never seen the Lord's true appearance before, only hearing from Di Tian that she was healing in the deepest part of the Lake of Life.
They heard those wounds were left by the great Soul Beast Lord during the Dragon God War, when she single-handedly fought against the gods.
Of course, this was what Di Tian said; they didn't know if it was true, after all, they weren't even born then.
However, Di Tian was the strongest in the Star Dou Great Forest. The world of soul beasts was simple: whoever had the biggest fist was right.
Therefore, all the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest believed that their master had been stranded there because he had failed in his battle against the gods.
No matter what misfortunes the soul beasts suffered, including their inability to become gods, it was all the work of the God Realm!
Oh my god, how could the God Realm be so evil!
The Dark Dragon King and the Light Dragon King, who knew the truth about the Dragon God War, perished together. Before dying, the Light Dragon King also killed the Water Dragon King.
The first Asura God promised to treat the dragon race kindly, so he let the still-rational Silver Dragon King escape, while the Golden Dragon King was sealed away.
Because all the beast gods who knew the truth died, and many beast gods had witnessed the Asura God wielding his blade against the Dragon God, the
God Realm unjustly took the blame for the Dragon God's actions.
The Demon King, hearing his master's questioning voice above him, secretly looked up and saw the Silver Dragon King curiously poking at the air in front of him with his slender fingers.
"Like a human child seeing something interesting."
"Is this the Lord?"
This blasphemous thought appeared in the mind of the Demon King. The Silver Dragon King seemed to sense being watched and looked at the surrounding ferocious beasts.
Except for Di Tian, who was extremely fanatical, the surrounding ferocious beasts dared not move under this gaze!
The Demon King broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and immediately suppressed the disrespectful thought in his mind.
"The Lord's behavior must have a deeper meaning!"
The Silver Dragon King fiddled with the air for a while, losing his initial interest, and slowly descended from mid-air to the shore of the Lake of Life. His
delicate, white bare feet, without shoes or socks, stepped on the moist soil soaked by the water of the Lake of Life, causing the soil to sink slightly. Surprisingly, neither soil nor water droplets could adhere to his bare feet.
It seemed to be blocked by some force, or perhaps heaven and earth could not bear to taint his perfection.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if the other party did not have any extraordinary wisdom!
The Silver Dragon King scanned the six ferocious beasts around him with his noble purple eyes.
Seeing everyone bowing their heads and trembling, none daring to defy her authority, the Silver Dragon King nodded in satisfaction.
As the ruler of all soul beasts, although she didn't know how to govern the myriad races of soul beasts, she knew one thing: she must maintain the dignity of the dragon race when facing them.
She had secretly observed Di Tian with her spiritual power at the bottom of the Lake of Life, learning this about maintaining authority from his behavior.
Initially, the Silver Dragon King was a little apprehensive, worried that she wouldn't be able to imitate Di Tian properly and wouldn't be able to control these ferocious beasts.
If these beasts didn't acknowledge her identity and authority, then she would have no choice but to regretfully offer them a taste of the Silver Dragon Spear.
"Rise, all of you,"
the Silver Dragon King's cold voice echoed in the small area of the Lake of Life, reaching the ears of the five ferocious beasts.
Except for Di Tian, the beasts all breathed a sigh of relief. They had never met this lord and didn't know her personality.
If she were a ruthless ruler, a lack of proper etiquette could truly be fatal!
The youngest of the ferocious beasts, including the Demon King, had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and possessed some cleverness.
Although this lord's appearance was brief, they could still discern his limited experience through his intimidating manner, which was strikingly similar to that of Di Tian.
That gaze was clearly imitating Di Tian, and not even very well!
Di Tian at least knew to mix his own dark soul power with his mental energy in his gaze, while the Silver Dragon King used pure mental energy.
Their fear stemmed solely from their suppressed bloodlines.
After receiving permission from the Silver Dragon King, the six ferocious beasts stood up. Only then did they clearly see the true face of their mysterious master.
Except for Di Tian, the other five beasts firmly memorized the Silver Dragon King's appearance.
The Silver Dragon King glanced at Di Tian and addressed the surrounding beasts with overwhelming majesty:
"You are all powerful members of the Soul Beast race, qualified to know my identity."
"I am the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, the other half of the Dragon God's wisdom, the ruler of all Soul Beasts!"
"In the future, I will lead you to restore the glory of the Soul Beast race!"
"And then…"
"And then?"
Gu Yuena suddenly stammered. Her limited vocabulary left her unsure what to say next. She had never been to school, always hiding beneath the Lake of Life—a
clear case of being a missed opportunity for compulsory education! Asking her to give a passionate speech was far too much for a dragon.
She glanced at Di Tian with her purple eyes, seemingly urging him to quickly fill in the gaps; didn't he see how embarrassed she was?
Di Tian realized his master was at a loss for words, and as a dutiful lackey, he knew how to smooth things over for his master.
His golden eyes gleamed faintly, mixed with spiritual and soul power, and the majesty of the 800,000-year-old Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King swept across the entire Lake of Life.
The five ferocious beasts inwardly exclaimed:
"That's it! That's the feeling! This is the majesty of the Beast God!"
"Master's understanding is lacking!"
"Would any beast dare mention it to Master? What if, in future negotiations with humans, Master displays that aura? It feels like the soul beasts would lose face!"
Gu Yuena's purple eyes sparkled, and she nodded frequently at Di Tian, carefully memorizing his power-bursting method.
"So that's how it is! I understand."
"I'll try it again against these ferocious beasts later."
Di Tian felt a little embarrassed under Gu Yuena's gaze, but outwardly remained serious and solemn.
However, his inner monologue was truly fascinating.
"My lord! Don't nod!"
"You've completely exposed yourself!"
"Why didn't you ask me how to unleash your aura before?"
"I could teach you!"
"Now you've completely lost your dignity at the Lake of Life!"
Di Tian had a thousand complaints he wanted to voice. He hadn't expected his lord to be so inexperienced!
A few actions and he'd revealed all his cunning. The middle-aged man in black sighed inwardly.
"Without me, the Soul Beast race will probably fall apart."
"I thought my burden would be lighter with my lord's return."
"It seems the responsibility of the Soul Beast race's one region, one lineage, and two forests will still rest on my shoulders."
Di Tian felt like a weightlifting champion among the Soul Beast race! His lord seemed a bit unreliable.
The Soul Beast race at this time could still be considered prosperous.
For example, there were thirty-five Beast Kings in the far north! Humanity only had one hundred Title Douluo!
A 100,000-year-old Soul Beast could basically defeat two Title Douluo.
Title Douluo only undergo a qualitative change when they reach the Super Douluo level.
Di Tian is undoubtedly the strongest person in the world today.
Among the three strongest beings of our time—Mu, Ye, and Long—none are a match for him.
Mu En is crippled, Long Xiaoyao's bloodline is suppressed, and Ye Xishui is even less of a threat.
Therefore, Di Tian is not currently as obsessed as he was ten thousand years later in the Legend of the Dragon King, placing almost all his hopes on the Silver Dragon King.
That clinging to a straw made Di Tian completely ignore the fact that the Silver Dragon King is too inexperienced to support the future of soul beasts! Di
Tian still possesses great ambition and aspirations; even if his master is unreliable, he is confident in maintaining the prosperity of soul beasts.
Overall, the highest leaders of the soul beast race are a bunch of makeshift leaders, far inferior to humans.
