Chapter 30: Storm Clouds Gathering, Bibi Dong's Killing Intent
Letting out a faint sigh for the difficult situation of soul beasts, Lin Chen continued writing:
[Compared to the first method, this second method is even more difficult — that is, to seize absolute initiative.]
[In the future, the number of soul beasts will gradually decrease, even approaching extinction, because soul beasts have no backing. Simply put, when you live in this world, background and support matter.]
[In today's God Realm, nearly all the gods are human. Beast gods are almost nonexistent. The two strongest beings among soul beasts right now are the Golden Dragon King imprisoned in the God Realm and the Silver Dragon King sleeping within the Star Dou Great Forest.]
[Both the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King are halves of the Dragon God. At their peak, both possessed strength at the level of a God King. However, compared to the Five Great God Kings of the God Realm, the gap is still far too large — they have almost no ability to resist.]
[If the soul-beast race had a deity at the level of the Dragon God still alive, who would dare drive soul beasts to extinction?]
[However, for the soul-beast side to obtain strength comparable to the Dragon God is even more difficult than the first method. If a deity at the Dragon God's level were to appear, the entire soul-master cultivation system would inevitably change.]
[As for the third method — that would be interstellar migration, allowing soul beasts to completely stop living on Douluo Star and instead find a new habitat.]
[This universe does not contain only the Douluo Continent. There are many other planes as well.]
[If soul beasts could find a world suitable for survival and migrate there directly, completely escaping the constraints of the soul-master cultivation system, that would also be a way to resolve their predicament.]
[In terms of future potential, I can't compare to you. In terms of background, I can't compare either. But I can run — and that's enough.]
Star Dou Great Forest
After reading the contents of Lin Chen's diary, Gu Yuena slowly closed her enormous dragon eyes and fell into deep thought.
The situation of the soul beasts was truly difficult, and every one of the three methods Lin Chen proposed would be extremely hard to implement.
The main problem was the God Realm watching the Douluo Continent like a tiger eyeing its prey. This left Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, constrained and unable to act rashly.
"Sigh… Being the co-lord of soul beasts truly comes with a heavy responsibility and a long road ahead."
For a brief moment, Gu Yuena even wanted to throw off the burden she carried and stop altogether.
Looking back on her life, Gu Yuena felt she had always been walking on thin ice.
From the moment she was born, someone wielding a blood-red sword struck her with a single slash, leaving her severely wounded.
After finally escaping the God Realm, she fell into the Star Dou Great Forest and entered slumber within the Lake of Life.
But the moment she awakened, the dragon-race descendant Di Tian placed the title of "Co-Lord of Soul Beasts" upon her, forcing her to shoulder the responsibility of reviving the soul-beast race.
Now, for the future of soul beasts, Gu Yuena had no choice but to use her mind — still muddled after countless years of sleep — to begin thinking.
How could she lead the soul-beast race to greatness once again?
Spirit Hall City — Pope's Palace
Holding the diary copy in her hands, Bibi Dong finished reading Lin Chen's entry and could not help but sigh:
"The situation of soul beasts really is difficult. Fortunately, I am human."
Bibi Dong felt a sense of relief in her heart.
She was familiar with soul tools, but in the present era, most soul tools were storage-type soul tools. She had never expected that in the future, soul-tool technology would develop so prosperously.
From Lin Chen's description of the future, ten thousand years later, there would certainly be a large number of soul tools with powerful offensive capabilities, and soul tools would be fully integrated into soul-master combat.
As for high-technology concepts such as battle armor and space battleships, Bibi Dong was filled with curiosity.
Battle armor should be armor worn by soul masters, while space battleships should be flying battleships capable of traveling through the sky.
But what interested Bibi Dong the most was the "Throne of Seal World" mentioned by Lin Chen.
The charm of another world stirred longing within her heart — she wanted to witness it for herself.
Unfortunately, she would at least need to become a god before gaining the strength to cross into another world.
Just as Bibi Dong's thoughts began to wander—
Two figures walked into the Pope's Palace from outside. One radiated a soft, sinister aura, while the other emitted a dark and shadowy presence.
These two figures were Bibi Dong's most capable assistants at the moment — her "loyal generals" Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
The two walked up to Bibi Dong, slightly bowed to show their respect, and said:
"Your Holiness, the Pope, the soul master named Tang San, whom you ordered us to focus on investigating — we have already located his exact position."
Hearing this, a trace of joy appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, quickly replaced by a chilling cold light.
The moment she learned Tang San's location, the killing intent in Bibi Dong's heart could no longer be suppressed. The terrifying aura of murderous intent even made the Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo standing before her feel a sense of dread.
'What exactly did this Tang San do to offend Her Holiness?'
'This killing intent from Her Holiness… It's far too terrifying.'
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan swallowed nervously as he sensed Bibi Dong's overwhelming murderous aura.
"Tang San… Tang Hao… very good. At last, I can eliminate the problem at its root."
Bibi Dong's expression was as cold as frost. In her heart, she had already pronounced the death sentence for both Tang San and Tang Hao.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei — in a moment, you two will accompany me to the academy where Tang San is located. We will personally eliminate this potential threat to Spirit Hall."
Looking at the two Titled Douluo, Bibi Dong issued her command.
With her current strength, defeating Tang Hao in battle was almost guaranteed.
However, to be safe, she decided to bring Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo along — all for the sake of killing Tang San.
Tang Hao himself was not the truly frightening one. What was terrifying was Tang San, who in the future might become a dual god in one body. That would inevitably threaten Spirit Hall's rule.
As the Pope of Spirit Hall, Tang San had to die. Otherwise, Bibi Dong would never feel at ease.
"Your Holiness, this Tang San is…?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan frowned slightly and asked Bibi Dong.
With Bibi Dong plus the two of them, their lineup was powerful enough to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Yet their target now was Tang San — a child whose martial soul was only Blue Silver Grass. It was truly hard to believe.
"Tang San is Tang Hao's son. More importantly, Tang San possesses twin martial souls."
"If this child is not killed, he will inevitably become Spirit Hall's greatest enemy in the future."
"So this time, bringing the two of you is merely a precaution. Remember this — Tang Hao may live, but Tang San must die."
Bibi Dong spoke seriously, making sure the two Titled Douluo understood the gravity of the matter.
"Yes, Your Holiness."
The Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo both acknowledged the order, firmly committing Bibi Dong's words to memory.
Tang Hao could live — but Tang San absolutely had to die.

[I Am a Little Princess: Sigh… the situation of soul beasts is really difficult. Green Grass — my condolences to you.]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: Same here.]
…
[Sea God's Spokesperson: That's right. The soul-master cultivation system really is distorted. I hope that one day you can obtain rewards from the chat group and resolve your predicament.]
