God Realm War, the Truth Behind Why Soul Beasts Cannot Become Gods

"Beast God Dī Tiān, ruler of the Soul Beasts, the Dragon Clan's final backbone."

"So Di Tian was a Soul Beast, and a noble, rare Dragon Clan Soul Beast at that."

"But why had no one ever heard of Di Tian's whereabouts?"

"Weren't the strongest Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest the Forest King, Titan Giant Ape, and the Forest Emperor, Sky Azure Bull Python?"

In the current Soul Master world, everyone believed that the strongest Soul Beasts were none other than the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python.

Those two Soul Beasts were genuine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

For many years, no one had ever successfully hunted either of them.

Title Douluo and human Soul Masters had once tried to challenge them!

The result was either death within the forest or a hasty escape.

The only Soul Master who had ever defeated the Titan Giant Ape was Tang Hao.

Even then, Tang Hao had only won by a narrow margin and could not hunt the Titan Giant Ape alone.

Star Dou Great Forest, Core Zone.

A pair of golden pupils reflected light from the Lake of Life.

An enormous black dragon, vast enough to blot out the sky, transformed into human form and watched the Heavenly Curtain with a complicated expression.

"I only wanted a good night's sleep!"

"And even that was impossible!"

Di Tian sighed helplessly.

The moment the Heavenly Curtain had appeared, he had already awakened from his slumber.

But since the previous reviews had all concerned human Soul Masters, Di Tian had stayed out of it and watched as though enjoying a show.

To him, witnessing the ugliness of human nature also counted as gaining a deeper understanding of humanity.

Yet he had not expected that by the third review—

he would become the main character!

That made Di Tian somewhat resistant.

He did not want his secrets exposed to the world like Bibi Dong's and Yu Xiaogang's.

"Di Tian, it seems your review should be a positive one!"

"The Heavenly Curtain called you the Dragon Clan's final backbone."

"That is extremely high praise!"

At that moment, a cold voice drifted out from the lake.

Di Tian's expression changed immediately upon hearing it.

"The Master, please do not misunderstand."

"I do not deserve such praise!"

"You are the Dragon Clan's final hope."

"To become your support, revive the Soul Beast Clan, and restore the Dragon Clan would be my greatest honor."

Although Di Tian was the publicly acknowledged king of the Soul Beasts—

before the Silver Dragon King, he was willing to bow his head.

Worried that the Silver Dragon King might overthink it, Di Tian hurriedly explained.

But the Silver Dragon King did not say anything more.

She was merely curious about Di Tian's review.

Such lofty praise for Di Tian was somewhat beyond the Silver Dragon King's expectations.

My name was Di Tian. I was born during the Soul Beast Clan's most prosperous era.

My father was the Bright Dragon King, one of the Nine Dragon God Sons, while my mother was the Dark Dragon King.

Noble blood flowed through my veins, and I was proud to be a member of the Dragon Clan.

From childhood, I had aspired to become a pillar like my parents and devote myself to the Dragon Clan.

The Dragon God noticed my efforts and personally appointed me captain of the guards. He also taught me a Divine Skill, the Dragon God Claw.

From then on, my duty was to protect the Dragon Clan and protect the Dragon God.

But one day, for reasons unknown, a world-shattering war erupted in the God Realm.

The Five God Kings joined forces to attack the Dragon God, while all Gods and Divine Beasts battled in chaos.

As the captain of the guards personally appointed by the Dragon God, I naturally would not shrink back in the face of war. I fought the opposing Gods to the death.

The battle was so fierce that heaven and earth seemed to lose their light. I could no longer remember how long it had lasted.

I only knew that the great Dragon God, besieged by the Five God Kings, was cleaved in two by the Asura God.

My father and uncles—the Nine Dragon God Sons—withered and fell one after another.

The Dragon God was defeated, and the once-prosperous Dragon Clan began its decline.

I had wanted to fight to the death, but before my father died, he ordered me to leave the God Realm with the Dragon Eggs that had yet to hatch.

To prevent the Dragon Clan's bloodline from being extinguished, I fled the God Realm with the Dragon Eggs and arrived in a lower realm called Douluo Continent.

Under my protection, a new Dragon Egg hatched. I named her Zi Jī.

That battle in the God Realm severed the Soul Beasts' chance to become Gods.

From then on, Soul Beasts could no longer ascend to godhood, and every time they survived one hundred thousand years, they would face a Heavenly Tribulation.

To gather strength and revive the Soul Beast Clan, I planned and prepared on Douluo Continent for endless ages.

Within the Core Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, I watched Zi Jī grow day by day. My strength awed all Soul Beasts, and the beasts respectfully called me the Beast God.

I gathered powerful Soul Beasts and worked with them to revive the Dragon Clan. To protect my kin from being hunted by humans, I acted many times, and my name resounded throughout the entire Soul Beast world.

Yet through those long years, I gradually became weary and lonely. The burden of reviving the Soul Beast Clan weighed on me until I could barely breathe.

No matter how hard I tried, my strength could never contend with the Gods. Fortunately, the Master was the only hope sustaining me.

The Master was the hope that could lead the Soul Beasts to change their fate. Once her injuries recovered, perhaps the Soul Beast Clan could welcome its restoration.

While waiting for that day to arrive, I silently guarded the Master's side. During that time, I also brought several like-minded companions under my command.

Bì Jī, Scarlet King, Xióng Jūn... everyone wanted to lead the Soul Beast Clan toward glory.

"This is truly embarrassing!"

"My secrets really were exposed completely!"

As Di Tian watched the Heavenly Curtain's video, he was so embarrassed he wished he could disappear into the ground.

He had never shown even the slightest hint of weakness before other Soul Beasts.

As the leader everyone trusted, Di Tian had to forever maintain his strongest side.

Even though the burden of reviving the Soul Beast Clan had nearly pushed him beyond endurance—

Di Tian had never told the other Fierce Beasts.

But now, the Heavenly Curtain had exposed all his hidden struggles.

Di Tian could not imagine what the other Fierce Beasts would think.

He had always been the tough figure who bore the Soul Beast Clan's burden alone.

This was simply too embarrassing!

"Di Tian, you have worked hard all these years!"

"Rest assured, the revival of the Soul Beast Clan is not far away."

"Hold on a little longer. I will not let your efforts all these years go to waste."

The Silver Dragon King comforted Di Tian.

With those words from her, Di Tian felt immensely happy.

"Di Tian, why are you so foolish!"

"Reviving the Soul Beast Clan is not a burden for you alone. We are with you. Whatever happens, we will face it together."

Bì Jī, Zi Jī, Xióng Jūn, and Scarlet King all arrived one after another.

If not for the Heavenly Curtain Review, they truly would not have known that Di Tian had endured so much pressure alone.

"You lot!"

Di Tian suddenly felt much lighter inside.

At this moment, every human faction was thrown into an uproar.

Spirit Hall...

Qian Daoliu took a deep breath!

"I never expected the waters of the Star Dou Great Forest to run this deep."

"The Soul Beast world actually contained such a terrifying existence as Di Tian."

"I wonder whether, if I mobilize Angel Divine Power, I could fight him on equal footing."

"From now on, I must be more careful and stay away from the Core Circle whenever possible, lest I form an enmity with him."
