He even made a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to gather Immortal Herbs along the way.

"Get up."

Qian Renxin was equally pleased. He said to Yue Guan and Ling Yuan, "When we return to Spirit Hall, I'll apply to my father and grandfather to grant each of you a spirit bone."

Yue Guan and Ling Yuan exchanged glances, both smiling a little more.

"Thank you for your grace, Young Master. We would die ten thousand deaths without regret and follow you forever!"

Qian Renxin nodded.

He had always been generous toward his own people.

Besides, what were two spirit bones worth? Spirit Hall had accumulated wealth over twenty thousand years. Its foundation was incredibly deep.

Many in the Soul Master World bragged about how wealthy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was.

But that was merely wealth in terms of money.

Could mountains of Gold Soul Coins really be called a foundation?

It could only be said that if Tang San had not cheated,

Spirit Hall would still have endured and ruled over a region ten thousand years later.

Meanwhile, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would likely have long become dust in history, surviving only in ancient records.

When they arrived outside the cave,

the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had already finished enjoying the Nether Dawn Lion King's corpse. It seemed a little stuffed and had curled into a ball to sleep.

Hearing Qian Renxin emerge,

it slowly sat up, obediently crouching where it was. It wiped the blood from around its mouth with its paw, like an enormously enlarged cat.

"You didn't come to me just for a good meal, did you?"

Qian Renxin chuckled and asked.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger nodded in a humanlike manner, then scratched its head in frustration.

It still could not speak, nor could it transmit thoughts to human soul masters.

Yet the matter was rather complicated, and it felt that without direct communication, it would be difficult to make Qian Renxin understand.

"Let me guess..."

Recalling the original plot from his previous life, Qian Renxin quickly figured out the reason. "You were ostracized by the other soul beasts, so you don't dare enter the core region alone to hunt?"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger nodded quickly.

"The Titan Giant Ape, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbits. Am I right?" Qian Renxin asked with a smile. "You want us to help you deal with their expulsion?"

From the moment the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had appeared in the core region, he had roughly guessed it.

In the original story,

the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python had said that they had driven away the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger many times.

In a one-on-one fight,

with its Darkness Domain and Life-and-Death Duel Arena, it could fully contend with one of them.

But in a group fight, it definitely could not win.

Surprise flashed through the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes, and it nodded.

It had thought it would take considerable effort to make Qian Renxin understand, but it had not expected him to know so much.

Qian Renxin, meanwhile, pondered carefully.

At this point, Xiao Wu's Mother had not yet been hunted by Bibi Dong, and Xiao Wu had not yet taken human form.

Although the Soft Bone Rabbit was not particularly strong, its survival abilities were formidable.

Still, with a cultivation of a hundred thousand years, it was more than capable of matching an ordinary Titled Douluo.

Combined with the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, two soul beasts with ancient bloodlines,

they would definitely gain no advantage in a frontal battle.

Even after Bibi Dong later reached rank ninety-nine, she would not directly confront those two soul beasts. A head-on clash was clearly not a wise choice.

After weighing the pros and cons,

Qian Renxin answered seriously.

"You lure away the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. I'll help you deal with those two Soft Bone Rabbits."

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger thought for a moment, then nodded.

Although the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, the main combat forces, would not be dealt with,

as long as those two Soft Bone Rabbits were gone, it could still occasionally sneak into the core region to hunt some ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

"Don't agree so quickly. I'm no great philanthropist. Even if we have some connection and are both related to the God of Evil, I won't casually do you such a huge favor."

Qian Renxin shrugged.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was somewhat confused. It pointed at the Nether Dawn Lion King's bones with its huge paw, as if saying that it had already helped him.

Qian Renxin shook his head and said seriously,

"You helped me find a soul beast, and I fed you its corpse. That was a transaction to begin with. After eating that soul beast, your cultivation has improved quite a bit, hasn't it?"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger scratched its head, looking slightly bewildered. It seemed to think that made some sense...

"How about this? Not only will I help you with this major matter, I can even help you break through to the hundred-thousand-year threshold sooner."

Qian Renxin said seriously, "But in the future, you must sacrifice yourself to me and become my soul spirit."

At the word sacrifice,

the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger shook its head frantically.

How could it possibly become someone else's soul ring? Was it supposed to throw away its life just to solve a minor problem?

Qian Renxin smiled without getting angry.

"You may not understand what a soul spirit is. You can retain your consciousness and abilities as a part of me, and I am destined to become a god."

"In other words, as long as you become my soul spirit, you can also escape the fate of soul beasts being unable to become gods and enjoy eternal life."

Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Submission, Capturing the Soft Bone Rabbits

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger narrowed its small eyes and hesitated slightly, looking as though it were saying, Don't fool me just because I'm uneducated.

As a top-tier soul beast that had lived for ten thousand years, it had never heard of such a thing.

Soul beasts generally had only two paths to godhood.

One was to continuously undergo tribulations and cultivate until their cultivation reached a million years.

The other was to rebuild themselves as humans at the hundred-thousand-year mark and inherit a god position in a human body.

As for something like a soul spirit, it had never heard of it.

Qian Renxin said nothing more and directly summoned his Deity Assessment. A black-and-white light screen appeared between them.

"This is my Deity Assessment. The God of Evil is also testing me in the God Realm. I would not casually lie to deceive you."

"If you truly sacrifice yourself to me, I will take you with me to the God Realm to enjoy endless years."

In the God Realm,

the God of Good and the God of Evil looked at each other.

"This child... really has found another path. He even found a loophole in the rule that soul beasts cannot become gods..."

The God of Good said rather helplessly, "Should we intervene and stop him?"

"What's the problem? The Dragon God incident happened so long ago. We can also try using the power of soul beasts to expand the God Realm."

The God of Evil did not care in the slightest, watching the scene in the lower realm with great interest.

He was actually quite happy to see this.

After all, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lineage had much to do with him and could be considered his descendants. It would be a good thing if it had an opportunity to become a god.

In the Star Dou Great Forest,

the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger sensed a familiar aura from the light screen and began turning excitedly in circles.

At that moment,

a rune emerged from the black light screen and imprinted itself onto Qian Renxin's hand.

"Press this rune onto its forehead."

An indifferent male voice sounded in Qian Renxin's mind.

Qian Renxin felt his entire body turn cold.

Is this the power of a God King? Just delivering a message lets me feel such an overwhelmingly powerful evil force...

He silently complained as he placed his hand on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's head.

The rune passed from his hand onto the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's forehead.

After obtaining the rune,

the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Qian Renxin could communicate normally, and it also came with certain restrictions.

If the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger ever wanted to betray him, the rune would stop it immediately. It was also the God of Evil's protection for his inheritor.

"How do I become a soul spirit?"

After gaining the ability to speak, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger asked impatiently.

Although soul beasts had two paths to godhood, both were in fact paths with only a slim chance of survival.

Cultivating to a million years was fraught with difficulties. Every hundred thousand years also brought a tribulation. Even as a top-tier soul beast, it did not dare claim that it could survive the tribulations and become a god.

Rebuilding itself as a human was even more dangerous.

"When you sacrifice yourself, I will give you a place in my sea of souls, allowing you to preserve your consciousness and become a Wisdom Spirit Ring."

Qian Renxin continued smoothly, "Of course, truly becoming a soul spirit will not happen so quickly. We'll need to explore it gradually. But this is an almost risk-free deal. After all, I am destined to become a god, and when that time comes, you can become a god as well."

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was also very sensible. It lowered its forelimbs in a submissive posture.

"I understand. Once I possess a hundred thousand years of cultivation, I will choose to sacrifice myself voluntarily, my master."

Qian Renxin nodded.

"Alright, then let's deal with those two Soft Bone Rabbits. Helping you grow stronger as soon as possible is the priority."

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was full of energy.

It had long wanted revenge against those four soul beasts, but it had never had the opportunity.

The central region of Star Dou Great Forest

was even deeper than the core region and was known as a forbidden land for humans.

The legendary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts lived here.

Within the Lake of Life, the Sky Azure Bull Python was submerged beneath the water cultivating. The Titan Giant Ape crouched beside two human females, their sizes forming an extreme contrast.

One was a full-figured and graceful woman with a dignified, pretty face filled with gentleness. Holding a comb, she was helping a little girl arrange her long hair.

She was Xiao Wu's Mother.

The adorable little girl enjoying the combing was Xiao Wu, who had only recently reached one hundred thousand years of cultivation.

Xiao Wu contentedly enjoyed her mother's care, but then asked with some worry,

"Mom, I've already reached a hundred thousand years. Should I take human form or not? If I miss this chance, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

"Going to human society is still too dangerous. Here in Star Dou Forest, Da Ming, Er Ming, and I can protect you."

Xiao Wu's Mother said tactfully.

"But didn't you take human form too, Mom? You even said human society was very interesting..."
