Di Tian: I'm Not Human Anymore!

Gu Yue had black hair and black eyes. Lightning flashed in her cold gaze, and her long hair billowed.

"Di Tian, this is the third time you've defied me today!"

"Give me a reason!"

Gu Yue had already clenched her fists. Under normal circumstances, she would have struck Di Tian with a Silver Dragon Claw long ago.

Did he really think that just because he had slept beside her for tens of thousands of years, he could stand on equal footing with her?

Di Tian had been beneath her before, was beneath her now, and would have to remain beneath her in the future!

The other five ferocious beast colleagues also turned to look at Di Tian, their eyes filled with deep confusion.

Di Tian had always revered the Silver Dragon King. Why was he opposing her again and again today?

Once again standing at the center of countless gazes, Di Tian remained calm. The grass and trees behind him stirred without wind, the scenery shifted, and countless streaks of light wove themselves into a clear image.

Mental Manifestation, an ability gained once Spiritual Power reached the Spirit Domain Realm, could display one's personal past experiences in the form of images.

This was a spiritual fluctuation. The images manifested had to be the caster's own firsthand experiences, so there was no possibility of falsification.

With Di Tian's immense Spiritual Power, he could even recreate the sounds from that time.

The scene displayed a memory from ten thousand years ago...

Huo Yuhao, who was about to become a god, had not chosen to kill Di Tian after defeating him.

Di Tian descended from the sky in a daze and headed straight for the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"He didn't kill me. Hehe, he didn't kill me." Di Tian's expression suddenly became vivid, shifting between tears and laughter.

At that moment, faint silver radiance surged in from every direction.

"He did not kill you. Even if he had wanted to kill you, you could not have died. You still have responsibilities to uphold."

The majestic voice rang out, instantly jolting Di Tian awake.

"It was precisely because he had no intent to kill that I did not intervene. Otherwise, even if it meant ending my seclusion early, I would have chosen to kill him."

Di Tian seemed to have returned to normal and could not help asking, "But, my lord, why didn't you keep him?"

"He carried the Power of Destiny! It is the Power of Destiny our Star Dou Great Forest needs most. You need it as well."

The mysterious voice said calmly, "The Power of Destiny belongs only to Douluo Continent. No one can take it away."

"Once one who becomes a god leaves this plane, the Power of Destiny will naturally return."

"Di Tian, I know you have been very lonely these years. You have worked hard."

"Endure for another ten thousand years. In another ten thousand years, I will emerge from seclusion, and by then, the hidden injuries on my body can be completely healed."

"When I return to the world, you may roam freely across it."

"Yes. Thank you, my lord." A trace of excitement flashed through Di Tian's dragon eyes.

The silver radiance withdrew, and everything returned to normal.

At the same time, Di Tian outside the image also withdrew his Mental Manifestation.

Gu Yue's black eyes flickered with an unreadable light.

She had never imagined that the grand promise she had made to her subordinate back then would become such a tremendous obstacle today.

"Ha..."

"The great Beast God Di Tian, the backbone of the mighty dragon clan, fleeing at the critical hour when his race faces life and death."

"Must it really come to this?"

She exhaled softly. Her voice softened somewhat, but the provocation in it was unmistakable.

Di Tian did not speak, but his meaning was already perfectly clear.

Seeing that he was determined to leave, Gu Yue's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Hmph!"

"Di Tian, take care of yourself."

She compromised quickly, for two reasons.

First, this was the bitter fruit she herself had planted.

Second, Di Tian had slept beside her for many years. She still understood him well; he was unlike the other soul beasts that had betrayed their race.

She had a way to contact Di Tian, and there would still be times when she needed him. It was not suitable to make things too hostile now.

With Di Tian's matter temporarily settled, Gu Yue immediately turned her fierce dragon eyes toward the remaining five ferocious beasts.

"What about you?"

"Do you also want freedom?"

Xiong Jun, who had never gotten along well with Di Tian, knew that his opportunity had come.

He immediately dropped to one knee and said, "The soul beast race stands at a critical moment of life and death. Following my lord and striving for the revival of the soul beast race is the duty every clansman must fulfill."

"Me, me too!"

All the ferocious beasts lowered their eyes to their noses and their noses to their hearts, answering in unison, "We would not dare defy my lord's orders."

Even Bi Ji and Zi Ji, who were closer to Di Tian, did not go against Gu Yue.

It was not that they did not want to, but that they could not. They lacked their lord's promise and did not possess Di Tian's formidable strength.

They could only wait until they had assisted their lord in accomplishing her great undertaking before following Di Tian and roaming the world together.

Seeing this, Gu Yue nodded in satisfaction. After giving Di Tian a deep look, she flashed away in a streak of silver light, leaving the Star Dou Great Forest.

Na'er left at the same time.

Her destination was likewise the human world.

Her wager with Gu Yue, which had drawn Gu Yue and her brother Tang Wulin into an emotional whirlpool, was merely one way of protecting her brother.

But she could not place all her hopes in one basket. She needed to go to the human world, seek out its strongest individuals and most powerful factions, build close ties with them, and gain more leverage to protect her brother.

The once-lively shore of the Lake of Life was left with only Di Tian, looking lonely and desolate.

A light called "bewilderment" flickered in his enormous pupils.

He was thinking... about his future.

The continent's number one ferocious beast sounded impressive enough. His combat strength was roughly on par with Yun Ming, the current number one human on the continent. Even if Yun Ming burned his Demigod Position, Di Tian could still invoke the Dragon God Claw and fight him to a standstill.

But Di Tian knew that this was the last shred of dignity he had left.

Before long, whether it was Gu Yuena or Tang Wulin, a single glance from either of them would make him tremble. The Beast God's dignity would vanish without a trace.

Even if they froze themselves in ice, the plane's evolution would still produce a group of god-level powerhouses, leaving Di Tian with no choice but to hide away in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Several thousand years later, he would even be forced to relocate his entire race to another planet, not daring to utter a word of protest.

His homeland, the Star Dou Great Forest, would instead become a tourist attraction for humanity.

By the sound of it, choosing to return to humanity was the bright future, the broad road ahead.

But was that realistic?

As someone who had transmigrated here, he understood humans far too well.

He could not prove that he had transmigrated here as a human, and humans would not believe him anyway.

Every part of him now bore the mark of a pure-blooded dragon. Even if he claimed to be human, no one would acknowledge it. Instead, they would covet him.

Telling them everything would lead to only one outcome.

Anyone with a Ferocious Beast Soul Ring—it was Di Tian. Hunt down Di Tian!

Anyone with a Ferocious Beast Soul Bone—it was Di Tian. Hunt down Di Tian!

Anyone with a Ferocious Beast Soul Spirit—it was Di Tian. Hunt down Di Tian!

Di Tian pondered for a long, long time, from the setting sun until the rising dawn.

During that time, he repeatedly reached up to touch his richly textured Dragon Horns, gazed at his black gemstone-like dragon scales, and reached toward...

As the morning light fell across his face, he finally understood. This damn thing was not a multiple-choice question at all.

To hell with it. He was done being human!
