Di Tian was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.
“I…I…”
He opened his mouth, only to find that he couldn’t answer the question.
He had never asked himself that question before.
Never.
For hundreds of thousands of years, he has been working towards the revival of the Dragon God.
They have been protecting the Silver Dragon King’s awakening and fighting for the future of the Soul Beast race.
But are these really the same thing?
What exactly is he loyal to?
Suddenly, Di Tian thought of the future he had glimpsed, and realized that his hundreds of thousands of years of loyal protection were not as valuable as the love between his lord and that human in just a few years.
Di Tian’s expression suddenly turned strange.
The eyes on the upper half of his face were filled with sorrow and bitterness, while the mouth on the lower half of his face forced a forced smile.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly a few times.
Gradually, his breathing calmed down, and his eyes slowly regained their sparkle.
The original emptiness, lifelessness, and self-deprecation are gradually fading away.
Instead, an unprecedented Qingming Festival has arrived!
Di Tian raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the Dragon God and Silver Dragon King on the left, and then over the densely packed group of soul beasts on the right.
His gaze sharpened, his eyes hardened, and he raised his voice, shouting loudly:
“I!
Di Tian!
Will forever be loyal to the Soul Beasts!!!”
…
Outside the canopy, the crowd had already erupted in chaos.
Countless people looked up at the sky and witnessed the tragic events that befell God, and discussions arose all over the world.
“Good riddance!
Soul beasts deserve to die!”
Some people clapped and cheered, their voices filled with undisguised joy.
In their understanding, spirit beasts are the targets of human spirit masters, and the source of spirit rings and spirit bones.
No matter how powerful Di Tian was, he was still a soul beast, and he deserved to die.
“Alas, this Di Tian really doesn’t know how to choose his master.”
Some people shook their heads and sighed, their tone tinged with sympathy:
“Hundreds of thousands of years of effort, all for nothing in the end, this is just too…”
But such voices of sympathy are ultimately in the minority.
In most cases, one’s stance is always above all else.
No matter how tragic Di Tian’s fate was, he was still a soul beast, not a human.
pity?
This shouldn’t be how humans treat spirit beasts.
“Serves you right!”
“Once a soul beast, always a soul beast!”
However, it is quite different from the human world.
An indescribable sadness permeates the Starry Sky Forest at this moment.
As fellow soul beasts, their empathy was immediately palpable.
Countless soul beasts with cultivation levels exceeding ten thousand years have begun to possess intelligence.
They all faced the direction of the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, some in silence, others wailing.
The entire Star Dou Great Forest was shrouded in sorrow.
Lake of Life.
Biji came to Ditian’s side and took his hand.
She had seen all those images on the sky just now, the tragic future of Di Tian.
At this moment, the usually gentle and dignified jade swan had red eyes and tear stains still on her face.
Di Tian was pulled back from his daze by her touch and turned his head to look.
Brigitte didn’t let go; instead, she took another step closer.
She raised her hand and gently stroked God’s cheek, her voice tender:
“From now on…
don’t bear everything alone anymore, okay?”
Di Tian looked at Bi Ji’s face, his lips moved, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But looking at his lover Brigitte, he couldn’t bring himself to say the words.
“good.”
Di Tian held Bi Ji’s hand and responded softly.
Upon hearing this, Brigitte smiled happily.
The two strolled along the shore of the Lake of Life.
“Judging from the content of the sky screen…”
Di Tian spoke, his tone regaining its usual composure:
“The auspicious beast got into trouble because that human stole its luck.
We need to strengthen its guard and not let it step out of the core area.”
Brigitte nodded without saying anything.
Di Tian paused, his gaze deepening: “As for the Lord…”
He remained silent for a moment.
“Our lord is still asleep.
This time, I will not let her go down that wrong path again.”
Brigitte looked up at him, gave a soft “hmm,” and didn’t ask any further questions.
…
The core area, Xiong Jun’s residence.
This is the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that always looks fierce and menacing.
He was sitting alone in his cave, silently watching the images on the sky.
He felt no joy at Di Tian’s suffering; instead, he felt a sense of shared sorrow, like a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.
Even someone as powerful as Di Tian met such an end…
“well!”
Xiong Jun sighed, picked up a piece of dried meat that had been placed beside him at some point, took a bite, and muttered:
“For the next ten thousand years, let’s not bother that guy Di Tian.”
He would never have said that before, even if you beat him to death.
But now, watching Di Tian being defeated by the future in the void.
He suddenly realized that the guy he had been jealous of for hundreds of thousands of years had it pretty tough too.
…
Starry Sky Forest, Mixed Zone.
The Crimson King was looking at the sky when he saw the part about “sacrificing auspicious beasts.” His face suddenly turned gloomy, and a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes.
The auspicious beast…
betrayed the soul beast?
His fists clenched unconsciously, and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.
But when he turned his head and looked at the three-eyed golden lion beside him…
The dim-witted imperial beast was currently engrossed in gnawing on the brain of a soul beast, completely unaware of what was being played on the sky.
The Red King’s unfriendly expression froze for a moment.
After being a nanny for ten thousand years, I’ve developed feelings for her.
The Crimson King thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile and shook his head.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed to sense the Crimson King’s gaze, raised its head, and looked at him with confusion, not understanding why the Crimson King kept staring at it.
Her attention was entirely focused on the rice; she didn’t look at the sky at all and had no idea what had just happened.
Then, she looked down at the beast brain she was gnawing on and suddenly realized.
So the Red King also wanted to eat?
A hint of hesitation flashed across the three-eyed golden lion’s face, which then turned into a pained expression.
She carefully broke off a small piece from the beast’s brain with her claws, carried it on her head, and came to the Red King, placing the small piece of brain at his feet.
“Here, take this!”
Her voice carried a hint of reluctance, but she forced a composed demeanor as she looked up at the Crimson King.
That’s all I can give!
There’s no more!
The Crimson King glanced at the small piece of beast brain stained with blood at his feet, then at the earnest little face of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and was speechless for a moment.
He was silent for a moment, then reached out and picked up the piece of beast brain, putting it in his mouth.
“Hmm, it tastes good.”
Upon hearing this, the three-eyed golden lion happily wagged its tail, then hopped back to continue gnawing on her beast brain.
The original owner of the beast brain: …
…
Sun Moon Empire, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
In a laboratory filled with blueprints and parts, Xuan Ziwen was staring intently at the sky in front of him.
His eyes, which usually only stared at the soul tool, were now shining with an astonishing light.
