Outside the celestial canopy, beside the Lake of Life, Di Tian looked at the scene within the canopy and his body trembled slightly.
Those were memories he had never mentioned to anyone for hundreds of thousands of years.
The day the Silver Dragon King first arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest was one of the most important days of his life.
From that day on, he had a master he needed to protect.
But then, the scene changed again.
[Starry Sky Forest, beside the Lake of Life]
When will this time be?
Di Tian looked around, pondering.
Suddenly, the sky darkened.
Just as Di Tian raised his head, he saw a figure soaring into the sky from the depths of the Lake of Life, his roar shaking the heavens and the earth.
“Something’s happened to the auspicious beast!!”
That was “my own” voice, filled with anxiety and anger.
Has something happened to the auspicious beast?
But aren’t the auspicious beasts perfectly fine?
Di Tian frowned, then looked incredulous.
Is this the future?!
He looked up and saw “himself” at this point in time flying over the Lake of Life, speeding towards the edge of the Starry Sky Forest.
Di Tian carefully sensed the cultivation level of that “self” and was shocked.
At this point in time, “himself” was almost as powerful as he is now!
This is the near future!
Di Tian’s breathing became rapid.
Doesn’t that mean something bad is about to happen to the auspicious beast?!
His perspective followed “himself” at this point in time, watching “himself” rush out of the Star Dou Great Forest, unleash a beast tide, and surge towards the direction of the human Shrek City.
In the scene, the walls of Shrek City gradually zoom in.
On the city wall, several figures stood ready for battle.
The leader was an old man covered in grease, none other than Taotie Douluo Xuanzi.
Di Tian watched as “himself” at that point in time was locked in battle with Xuan Zi.
Although at the beginning, “oneself” had an absolute advantage.
Ultimately, however, he was firmly controlled by Xuanzi, who had transformed into a glutton after his bloodline was activated, and was unable to move.
As the situation continued to develop, he learned the reason for the sacrifice of the auspicious beast.
Because of love.
Di Tian was struck dumb, frozen in place.
like?
Love touched forehead!
Love whispered a few sweet words!
For this so-called love!
It was sacrificed to a human!
Di Tian’s chest heaved violently, his furious voice booming like thunder, and even a few blood vessels appeared in his golden dragon eyes.
But it’s not over yet!
The surrounding environment is constantly changing.
The images flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
He had been seeking a divine position for eight hundred thousand years without success, yet a human had one delivered to his doorstep.
He went to stop it for the sake of the Star Dou Great Forest’s fortune, but was severely injured in the end!
And Shrek’s side has consistently maintained that the sacrifice was a voluntary choice by both sides!
They stole the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest first, which caused all the trouble!
After the incident, they’ll claim it was a voluntary choice by both parties!
The beneficiaries are smug, the victims are hysterical, and then the beneficiaries turn around and bite back, blaming the victims instead!
He even saw a more distant future!
The master she had served for hundreds of thousands of years awoke and went to the human world, where he fell in love with a human.
In order to revive the Soul Beast race and the Dragon God, he personally arranged to assassinate that human.
In the end, however, he was reprimanded by the Lord and received the most severe warning!
Another love affair that lasted only a few years and was insignificant!
Where has he placed his hundreds of thousands of years of loyal protection this time?!
Di Tian’s face was filled with anger and resentment, his eyes wide open as if they were about to pop out.
The blood vessels in his eyes continued to increase, almost turning his golden dragon pupils red.
The surrounding environment is constantly changing.
Various experiences of my future kept surfacing in my mind.
Until the very end.
He saw that “himself” had failed to transcend the tribulation, and his physical body had been turned into a warship.
The divine consciousness is like a pitiful parasite, clinging to the human body to eke out a living.
Then, for the last time, he died completely while helping someone else withstand a lightning tribulation; his divine consciousness shattered and he vanished into nothingness.
The moment Di Tian saw that scene, he felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he froze on the spot, completely motionless.
The surrounding environment finally stopped changing.
Everything came to a standstill.
But Di Tian, who was standing still, lowered his head and remained silent.
Even he, at this moment, because he glimpsed his future destiny, had his once strong heart shattered into pieces.
“Am I…
destined to achieve nothing?”
He looked at his hands and said in a hoarse voice.
He thought of many, many things.
After striving for hundreds of thousands of years, all that remains is nothing.
He sought a divine position but could not obtain it.
Hundreds of thousands of years of trust and loyalty to the Lord have been replaced by a mere few years of love.
He failed to transcend the tribulation, became dependent on others, and ultimately vanished into nothingness.
“Could this be…
my destiny, Di Tian?”
Just then, a loud voice came from the void.
The surrounding scenery changed again.
“You are the most loyal black dragon under the Dragon God’s throne, and the Silver Dragon King’s guardian for hundreds of thousands of years.”
The moment the voice fell, two enormous figures appeared to Di Tian’s left.
The Dragon God and the Silver Dragon King.
The dragon god’s body blotted out the sky and sun, radiating a terrifying pressure that could shake the heavens and earth.
The Silver Dragon King stood beside him, his silver scales gleaming.
The two figures were imposing and awe-inspiring.
Di Tian’s breath hitched slightly.
“You are the supreme ruler and guardian of the Star Dou Great Forest.
For hundreds of thousands of years, you have remained steadfast in your determination to revitalize the Soul Beast race.”
The sound rang out again.
On the right side of Di Tian, the figures of ferocious beasts such as Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Chi Wang, and Wan Yao Wang appeared.
Then, the scene continued to expand, revealing even more soul beasts.
Ten thousand years, ten thousand years…
In the end, a ten-year-old wind baboon and a ten-year-old lone bamboo also appeared.
They stood together densely, their numbers enormous, stretching as far as the eye could see.
However, although there were many soul beasts on this side, their aura was far inferior to that of the Dragon God and Silver Dragon King on the other side.
It’s not even half as good as it.
Di Tian stared blankly to both sides, wondering what the sudden voice was trying to do.
“When the two inevitably clash, having already glimpsed your destiny, what will you choose?”
Upon hearing this, Di Tian trembled.
He had never thought about this question.
For hundreds of thousands of years, he had always believed that his loyalty to the Dragon God and the Silver Dragon King and his protection of the Soul Beast race were the same thing, the same direction.
But what if a conflict actually occurs?
What if the will of the Dragon God and the Silver Dragon King runs counter to the interests of the Soul Beast race?
What will he choose?
What will he do?
What is he capable of doing?
Seeing that Di Tian did not respond for a long time, the voice said again:
“The Dragon God once made a vow that ‘unless he is resurrected, no soul beast can become a god.'”
“You have been unable to become a god all this time, and besides the Divine Realm Committee, the Dragon God has also made a significant contribution to it.”
“Are you truly loyal to the Dragon God and the Silver Dragon King, or do you simply believe they possess the power to rise and protect the Soul Beast race?”
The voice paused, as if giving Di Tian time to think.
“Or perhaps…
you are actually loyal to your long-cherished wish to rise up and restore the glory of the Soul Beast race!”
