Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena couldn't help asking in turn:

"Then how do you want to cooperate from here?"

Wei Goat smiled and said:

"First, have His Excellency Beast God Di Tian help us establish the Spirit Pagoda."

"In the course of that, we'll also treat Your Excellency the Silver Dragon King in stages until she's healed."

"Building trust takes time."

"I believe that with each group of Soul Beasts transformed into Soul Spirits, you'll also gain a deeper understanding of the Spirit Pagoda's Soul Spirit Plan."

Gu Yuena looked at Wei Goat and said:

"I approve the Soul Spirit Plan."

"Bi Ji may screen all Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest who are willing to give up their broken bodies, as well as those nearing the end of their lives, and work with you to try to form Soul Spirits."

Bi Ji nodded. "Understood, Lady Silver Dragon King."

Wei Goat smiled and said:

"That would be best."

"And if possible, I hope Bi Ji and His Excellency Di Tian can both come to the Spirit Pagoda to witness the formation of Soul Spirit contracts with humans."

He wouldn't pass up labor he didn't have to pay for.

Hearing that, Di Tian frowned and said:

"Say what you will, you haven't even set up this Spirit Pagoda yet, and you're already talking big."

"How long will it take you to get this Spirit Pagoda ready?"

Wei Goat held up one finger.

Di Tian frowned. "A month?"

Wei Goat smiled. "One day is enough."

Di Tian was astonished. What organization could put up a tower in a single day?

Di Tian continued:

"Then where will you establish this Spirit Pagoda? If it's too far away, once we appear in your human world, I'm afraid a great war will break out."

Wei Goat smiled and said:

"Right between the Star Dou Great Forest and Shrek."

Tang Ya was stunned. After listening to so much along the way, she felt that the Zodiac Temple didn't seem to intend to keep anything from her. Why was that?

As the only member of Shrek Academy there, she felt as though she'd been caught up in another major affair.

Di Tian looked at the location and frowned.

If that were the case, the Spirit Pagoda's location would make it a buffer zone between Shrek and the Star Dou Great Forest.

That location could be said to offer the Spirit Pagoda no advantages whatsoever as an organization.

"You really want to choose this spot?"

"If a dispute breaks out between Shrek and the Star Dou Great Forest, this location of yours is bound to spark a conflict."

Wei Goat smiled.

"I believe that if there's a dispute, Shrek will surely be in the wrong, not the Star Dou Great Forest."

Though Wei Goat's words were clearly just a courtesy, Di Tian couldn't help feeling pleased.

Di Tian said:

"So how do you need me to help you?"

Wei Goat said:

"Your Excellency Beast God, just move a huge boulder out of this core area and leave a mark on it with your Dragon God Claw."

"That will announce that our Spirit Pagoda was jointly established by the Star Dou Great Forest and the Zodiac Temple."

Hearing that, Di Tian turned to the Silver Dragon King for permission, and she nodded.

Di Tian then said:

"Then I'll leave a Dragon God Claw mark."

"I hope you won't disappoint my lord or me."

Di Tian let out a dragon's roar. Beside the Lake of Life, the earth shook and the mountains trembled as he uprooted a massive black boulder, polished by heaven and earth for who knew how many years.

Holding the boulder aloft in one hand, Di Tian shot toward the spot Wei Goat had marked, like a streak of light.

Bi Ji followed right after him.

Along the way, who knew how many Soul Beasts and humans were frightened into hiding.

The three members of the Zodiac Temple exchanged glances, then vanished without a trace, taking Tang Ya with them.

On a plain some distance from the Star Dou Great Forest.

The massive black boulder slammed into the ground like a meteor.

Who knew how much dust it kicked up.

Then Di Tian shouted, "Dragon God Claw!"

A terrifying claw, brimming with dragon might and seemingly capable of tearing space apart, branded itself directly into the center of the massive black boulder.

The lingering might of the claw mark conveyed the majesty of the Beast God, as though he looked down upon all living things.

Di Tian looked at Wei Goat.

"I've set up the stone stele."

"Now let me see how you build this Spirit Pagoda of yours in a single day."

Wei Goat smiled.

He then gave a light wave of his hand, and a ray of light shot from his sleeve toward the massive black boulder.

The Dragon God Claw mark Di Tian had left seemed to come alive, becoming lifelike.

Di Tian froze for a moment at the sight.

He thought to himself, This power is truly formidable. I'm afraid it really could threaten me.

Wei Goat smiled. "This will tell the world that the Star Dou Great Forest stands behind the Spirit Pagoda."

Di Tian offered no comment.

He thought, For now, my lord's injuries are still the priority. Once my lord recovers, the Star Dou Great Forest will have the say.

Even so, Di Tian was secretly a little pleased that the Spirit Pagoda was being established here.

He'd disliked that heap of flies called Shrek for a long time and had been fretting that there was no one to deal with them.

As he watched, Wei Goat slowly stepped forward.

Then a ripple of spatial fluctuation flashed before his eyes.

A dazzling light appeared.

A tower three hundred meters tall rose straight into the clouds, with a white ram pattern floating quietly above its peak.

In the center of the tower, the three large characters for "Spirit Pagoda" shone with a peculiar light.

It looked both majestic and vivid.

Even Di Tian's eyelids twitched several times.

"You actually carry this Spirit Pagoda around with you?"

When had human Soul Tool technology advanced to such a degree?

He now found himself believing that there was some truth in what Wei Goat had said.

They really had to be on guard against this Soul Guidance Technology.

Wei Goat said calmly:

"It's merely a minor art."

He looked at Di Tian and said:

"From today onward, the Spirit Pagoda has established itself here. Your Excellency Di Tian, Your Excellency Bi Ji, we'll be relying on you in the future."

At that, Di Tian snorted and said:

"I hope you'll keep your promise."

"If you dare to toy with us, you know the consequences."

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Tian turned into a beam of black light and vanished without a trace.

Bi Ji looked at Wei Goat apologetically and said:

"We'll send the Soul Beasts willing to become Soul Spirits here later."

"But I must witness the process of them becoming Soul Spirits with my own eyes."

With that, she left after Di Tian.

Wei Goat nodded and said:

"Of course."

After Di Tian and Bi Ji disappeared, Tang Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

But she soon grew nervous again. Facing three Titled Douluo of the Zodiac Temple by herself was far too terrifying, wasn't it?

Just then, Si Snake said with a smile:

"Why are you still here instead of leaving?"

"We've already given you a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit. Don't tell me you want a second one?"

Tang Ya said blankly:

"I can leave?"

She pointed at herself, her face full of disbelief.

Wei Goat smiled and said:

"If you have any questions about Soul Spirits in the future, you can come to the Spirit Pagoda. But for now, we don't provide meals here."
