Cooperation Reached

Di Tian's pupils contracted sharply into thin slits, dark golden dragon scales instantly covering his entire body as a terrifying dragon might erupted like a tsunami.

The surrounding ancient trees snapped under this pressure, and the Lake of Life churned with colossal waves.

"Presumptuous!" The Black Dragon King's voice made the very space tremble. His sharp dragon claws pointed directly at Solomon's throat. At this moment, he disregarded the fact that his opponent had a deity as a backer and spoke in enraged disbelief, "A mere human, how dare you speak ill of my master!"

Just as the dragon claws were about to touch the youth's neck, the entire Star Dou Forest suddenly fell into an eerie stillness.

Falling leaves froze in mid-air, splashing water droplets turned into crystalline amber, and even Di Tian's furious expression was fixed on his face.

A silver pillar of light slowly rose from the center of the lake, making the myriad stars seem to dim.

A tall, slender figure stepped out of the light pillar. Silver hair cascaded down to his ankles, and his amethyst eyes flowed with ancient vicissitudes.

"Di Tian, stand down."

As the clear, cold female voice sounded, the frozen time began to flow again.

Di Tian immediately knelt on one knee, while Da Ming and Er Ming buried their heads deep in the earth.

The Soft Bone Rabbit in Xiao Wu's arms trembled, lacking even the courage to flee.

The Silver Dragon King's slender feet lightly touched the water's surface, each step sending out silver ripples.

She walked to a spot three steps away from Solomon and stopped. Moonlight cast a hazy veil over her exquisite face.

"Emissary of the gods." She tilted her head slightly, starlight from her hair weaving a galaxy between them. "How did you discover me?"

Even the gods above the God Realm did not know her hiding place, and some beings even believed she was dead.

Yet this youth before her could directly reveal the truth.

The cross on Solomon's chest suddenly floated up, emitting Holy Light that contended with the Silver Dragon King's.

However, the youth reached out and pressed the cross back to his chest. He remained neither servile nor overbearing, possessing an almost invisible arrogance.

He was the master of humans and the master of soul beasts.

Now, the Silver Dragon King was the rightful master of soul beasts. This aversion to violating the mission given by the gods made it difficult for Solomon to feel any goodwill towards the Silver Dragon King.

After all, as the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain unless one is male and the other female. But even then, it's only during mating season. Otherwise, two tigers fighting will inevitably lead to a battle.

And such a situation existed between Solomon and the Silver Dragon King.

"It was the instructions from the High God. Esteemed Silver Dragon King, my name is Solomon, an envoy of the High God, and also the Son of Man."

"Perhaps I should call you a part of the Dragon God?" Actually, Solomon didn't remember much about this part of the story. He had only watched Douluo Daluo 1 and 2 back then, and only a bit of Douluo Daluo 3 before stopping.

At most, he knew of the existence of this person but didn't know what exactly she had done.

A flicker of surprise flashed in the Silver Dragon King's eyes. She hadn't expected this human to directly expose her true form.

The Silver Dragon King's slender fingertips lightly brushed her cascading silver hair. Ripples appeared in her amethyst eyes – no, it was a killing intent.

She gazed at the cross on Solomon's chest, the sacred aura flowing from it reminding her of the distant Dragon God War.

"Emissary of the High God," her voice was as crisp as colliding ice crystals. Ultimately, the gap in their strength forced her to consider the contract, and she could only speak reluctantly, "What are the specific procedures for the contract you mentioned?"

Solomon smiled faintly and drew a golden trajectory in the air with his right hand.

Countless points of light spilled from his fingertips, intertwining in the air to form complex contract runes. Every stroke carried a divine rhythm, making even the surrounding air tremble.

"Soul Beast Pokemon Contract. I believe you are already familiar with it." He explained patiently, his finger tapping the outermost rune circle. "It's a basic contract that establishes an equal connection between soul beasts and humans, sharing some abilities."

"We don't understand this thing you're talking about at all. But it sounds like something related to life levels."

"Precisely, your understanding is not wrong." Solomon smiled. "I've explained the rest earlier, and I believe you heard it."

"Alright." The Silver Dragon King raised her hand slightly and nodded. She had indeed heard everything.

Then she turned to Solomon, her purple eyes flashing with thought. "What ritual does the contract require?"

A ritual?

In reality, signing a contract didn't require any ritual, only the compatibility of both souls.

However, considering his desire to reproduce legendary creatures like Pokemon in this world.

If a ritual was necessary, then it could only be a battle.

"Let's battle." Solomon smiled slightly, no longer explaining.

After three sunrises and three moonsets of conversation between the two parties, the first stage of cooperation was signed.

This meant that the soul beasts, primarily from the Star Dou Forest, accepted the Soul Beast Pokemon Plan and would provide a relatively safe venue for soul masters to form contracts with soul beasts for the next five years.

With the preliminary agreement of the contract, the outer areas of the Star Dou Forest were designated as "Trial Grounds" by the Silver Dragon King.

Soul beasts and human soul masters needed to establish soul resonance through combat here to complete the final contract. However, this process was not smooth sailing.

Lower-level, 10-year-old soul beasts lacked higher intelligence and usually couldn't understand instructions. Incidents of soul beasts attacking humans still occurred.

But due to the ample manpower deployed by Spirit Hall, no deaths occurred. There were only some injuries.

Everything was progressing in an orderly fashion.

Solomon had been working overtime day and night for the past few days, and after months of handling countless matters, big and small, he finally couldn't take it anymore.

Damn it!

Get back to work, main body!

You bastard, are you living it up in the God Realm, being worshipped by thousands, and sleeping in every day?

Bastard!

Let's switch lives!

Why do I, your clone, have to work all the time?

He was furious, but could only rage impotently.

Ye Su: Do you even understand? What do you mean, "eating, drinking, and sleeping for free every day"? Being God is exhausting! I have to listen to so many prayers every day, and I still have to find time to grant wishes for a few believers... I also have to deal with the messes left behind in the God Realm... I'm really tired, okay?

Solomon rolled his eyes. You're the almighty God, and you're already complaining about being tired?

Keep pretending!

The two of them traded insults like squabbling elementary school children for several rounds before finally ceasing fire.

After all, it was too strange to be arguing with oneself.

After calming down a bit, Solomon brought up another matter.

"Main body, how has Xiao Bi San been lately?"
