Cooperation and Joining Up

Star Dou Great Forest, Outer Zone

Di Tian stood beside the tree like a statue, with a mythical Auspicious Beast peeking out its head behind him, curiously observing the newcomer Mu En.

Transformed Soul Beast!

Mu En immediately saw through the Auspicious Beast's true nature.

It's probably not just a simple transformed Soul Beast...

"Why is the Beast God releasing his aura like this?" Mu En pretended to be confused even though he knew the answer.

However, Di Tian had no interest in playing games with Mu En and immediately stated directly, "She is the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. I want her to Shrek."

Mu En: "???"

"You... are you crazy?" After a long pause, Mu En said in disbelief, his brows furrowed.

Regardless of his Mu En, Shrek Academy is a den of dragons and tigers.

"I want her to stay by Shen Yichen's side. Auspicious Beast is extremely special; surely it can lend him a hand?"

Mu En's face instantly turned cold. The Auspicious Beast was good, but wasn't Di Tian afraid of being discovered by the Sea God for discussing it so openly?

Whether or not someone helps him isn't that important to Xiao Yichen, but having a useless teammate could really ruin things.

Isn't Xuan Zi from the Shrek Academy a prime example?

"What is the Beast God saying? I don't understand at all!"

"No need to play dumb." Di Tian flipped his hand, and a peculiar cube appeared in his palm. The cube constantly changed shape, possessing a kind of orderly and mechanical beauty.

"This object can block the senses of the Divine Realm within a hundred-meter radius. Even the Sea God cannot interfere with our conversation right now!"

Mu En's eyes flashed; no wonder Di Tian dared to meet him near Shrek Academy's territory.

I know your purpose.

By saying this and doing this, Di Tian has practically revealed his hand.

I have Diary, and I know you Shrek students have Diaries too. So, let's cooperate!

Mu En did not reply. After a moment's thought, he said, "The Beast God knows my purpose, but I do not yet know the Beast God's purpose."

"Don't worry, I only have one goal: to ensure that Shen Yichen does everything possible to keep the Auspicious Beast alive!"

"That's all?"

That's all!

Di Tian had also considered the possibility of cooperating to revive the Soul Beasts. But that was unrealistic. They might dare to promise it, but he himself didn't dare to believe it.

As long as the Auspicious Beast survives, that's enough.

Officially, it was for the sake of the Soul Beast Clan having Auspicious Beasts to protect them. Privately, it was for the old father's own selfish desire...

However, if the Auspicious Beast can infiltrate Shen Yichen's core network of connections, the Soul Beast will ultimately not suffer any losses.

Mu En lowered his eyes in thought, then opened them to look at the Auspicious Beast. He seemed to have no reason to refuse.

Coincidentally, he had been thinking a few days ago that Xiao Yichen's foundation was too weak, and the Auspicious Beast delivering itself to his doorstep would be a great help.

"Yichen is no longer at Shrek. I sent him to Dragon City..."

Di Tian nodded slightly, understanding. If it were him, he would also send Shen Yichen away first.

"As long as the Auspicious Beast is with Shen Yichen, that's enough!"

"Can."

Right there in this small forest, the strongest human and the strongest Soul Beast made a pact! (The strongest on the surface)

"Go straight to Dragon City?"

"Walk!"

The Diary had already revealed about 70-80% of both sides' true intentions. Because they knew each other inside and out and had leverage over each other, the negotiations were particularly swift and efficient.

The two powerful figures left without hesitation. At the speed of Limit Douluo, they arrived in Dragon City with their Auspicious Beasts in no time.

"Hmm?" Di Tian frowned slightly.

"Beast God?"

"It's alright. Let's go!"

Fine?

Mu En, being the seasoned veteran he was, could tell from Di Tian's odd expression that things weren't alright. But since Di Tian wouldn't say anything, he didn't press him for details.

At this moment, Heavenly Dragon Sect, Shen Yichen was exchanging blows with Nan Qiuqiu and Yu Tianlong.

It was less of a friendly exchange and more of a training session.

In the courtyard of the martial arts arena, Shen Yichen Aolai Staff skill. Even though he suppressed his physical exertion to the level of an ordinary Soul Master, his various staff techniques and stances made it difficult for the two to defend themselves.

"Hmm?" Shen Yichen took a step back, glancing into the distance. Teacher?

With a wave of his hand, he swept across the battlefield with overwhelming force, sending the two people in front of him flying.

"That's enough for today's sparring. I have some things to attend to, let's talk again later!"

After saying that, Shen Yichen Cloud Step, leaving only a 'clone' in place. Just as Nan Qiuqiu and Yu Tianlong got up from the ground, the clone dissipated.

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed, as Shen Yichen disappeared.

"Is this... is this right?" Nan Qiuqiu had considered that she was no match for Shrek's 'top students,' but she never imagined it would be this one-sided!

Yu Tianlong was even more bewildered. If Shen Yichen had just used his exquisite staff technique to disorient them, he could accept that.

But in the blink of an eye, without using any technique, the other person simply swung their staff, and the sheer force sent me flying even though I had activated my amplified Soul Skill. It was truly unbelievable!

Yu Tianlong stopped mentioning Nan Qiuqiu's cooking; in the sparring match, his own contribution wasn't much better than Nan Qiuqiu's...

"Cultivate! I want to cultivate!" Nan Qiuqiu gently bit her lip, her desire to cultivate rising.

On the other side, Yu Tianlong had already begun to sit cross-legged and recover his Soul Power.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.

Having just left the martial arts arena, Shen Yichen, concealing himself, approached his teacher Mu En.

Swish~

As his invisibility wore off, Shen Yichen suddenly appeared before Mu En Di Tian.

Di Tian's body trembled, and he almost raised his hand to deliver a Dragon God Claw.

"This..." Taking a breath, Di Tian narrowed his eyes, "What an exquisite concealment technique!"

"You are..." Shen Yichen tilted his head, looking at the arrogant man.

"I am Di Tian, the Di Tian God of the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Di Tian?

In a mere fraction of a second, Shen Yichen accepted the situation, turning to look at Mu En with eyes full of confusion. Why had the Beast God Di Tian come knocking on their door?

Judging from the looks of it, they're still 'one of us'?

Seeing this, Mu En explained, "That child is the Emperor Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest. From now on, she will stay by your side. Protect her well."

Shen Yichen:???

Wang Qiu'er?!

Shen Yichen almost instinctively summoned his Ruyi Jingu Bang.

Upon closer reflection, it seems... she's not Wang Qiu'er yet! Tang Wutong's consciousness hasn't yet corrupted this innocent soul!

Is this a good thing?

However, the thought of the Snow Empress and Ice Empress in Dragon City made Shen Yichen's expression become even more strange.

He was clearly a pure anthropocentric, believing in the principle that those not of his kind were inherently different. So why were more and more Soul Beasts gathering around him?

As for refusing?

The wicked white fluffy ball swallowed hard, thinking of the beauty of the Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Wang Qiu'er described in the original novel. He admitted that he was indeed drooling...

These transformed Soul Beasts are like blank sheets of paper; just thinking about nurturing them is exciting...

Human supremacy?

In less than a fraction of a second, Shen Yichen abandoned the idea.

What do you mean by human supremacy? It's clearly just egocentrism!

I say whoever is human, then they are human!
