With Di Tian's abilities, entering the God of War Hall and taking the Level 12 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell and Eternal Heaven Kingdom would naturally be no problem.
Of course, no matter how one put it, if one's own strength was insufficient, then even if they barely maintained a fragile balance, it would eventually collapse.
However, if things truly developed to the point where demons danced in chaos, numerous factions took the stage, and the Douluo Plane fell into the terrible state of a massive multi-faction war, then Di Tian would have no need to plan for the future or rely on faith to forge a divine position and become a god.
Amid the brief and strange balance between the various factions, he could simply risk the high probability of perishing, use his Million Year Soul Beast body to trigger the Cosmic God Tribulation and become a god, then forcibly ignite an all-out war against several factions and countless powerful enemies.
He would wage an all-out war within the Douluo Plane beneath the Cosmic God Tribulation!
Even if the final outcome might be that most people coveted him—the Dragon God's great gift, the super divine dragon on the verge of becoming a god—then before he fell, Di Tian would bite every last one of them to death!
He had nothing to lose while they had everything to lose. If they would not let him live well, then none of them would live well either!
At worst, he would sink Douluo Star!
Just as the Soul Beast Bureau's second course of action was becoming increasingly crazed and increasingly complete, a knock sounded at the door.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Di Tian did not invite the visitor in immediately. Instead, he picked up the Xuan paper covered in writing, and a streak of Black Dragon Flame burned it into drifting ash.
The second course of action was, in the end, a plan to flip the table and fight to mutual destruction—a strategy of striking after being attacked.
If he had a choice, he did not want to use it. For now, he also did not want others to know of the deeper dangers.
After all, on the surface, he was still the executor of the first course of action, the one who had lit the spark of the Soul Beast Clan's revival, the pillar supporting the Soul Beast Clan. As the tallest one among them, he had to possess the confidence that success was inevitable.
Only after the Xuan paper covered in writing had burned into ash and scattered completely without a trace, and only after he had utterly reined in his mad urge for destruction, did he say:
"Come in."
"Creak~"
As expected, the ones who pushed the door open were the Demon Empress and her daughter.
At this moment, the Demon Empress had once again pulled up the hood of her black robe, concealing her appearance and aura.
The moment she entered, she said apologetically, "Sorry, Di Tian. I was so excited to meet Fozi that I forgot to thank you."
"If it weren't for you, who knew how much longer my daughter would have made me wait before she was willing to see her mother?"
Amid her apology was also the overflowing joy of seeing her daughter, Lan Fozi.
After a pause, the Demon Empress continued, "Fozi has also roughly told me about your progress in the sea."
"Now that everything is settled and you've returned, should I go back to the Holy Spirit Cult first and hold down the fort, in case something goes wrong?"
"This child, Fozi, definitely doesn't want to go to the Holy Spirit Cult, and I don't want her interacting too much with those Evil Soul Masters either. Could she stay in Heaven Dou City with you for the time being?"
At those words, Lan Fozi immediately puffed out her cheeks, but she did not speak to stop her mother or act coquettishly to make her stay.
She was no longer a small child. From her mother, she had also learned about Di Tian's detailed first course of action. The plan to revive the Soul Beast Clan could not be obstructed at such a crucial time.
Still, having just reunited with her mother only to part again, she was naturally sorrowful and upset.
To keep herself from becoming too sad, Lan Fozi turned her back to the Demon Empress, skipped over to Di Tian's side, and tugged on his sleeve.
"Senior, I promise I won't cause you trouble. Just don't bully me, okay?"
Di Tian chuckled and glanced at Lan Fozi. "As long as you don't think about making me eat Whale Rubber, I definitely won't bully you."
"Ah~"
"Senior, don't hold a grudge."
This brief exchange was something Di Tian and Lan Fozi had experienced together, so naturally they understood it.
But neither had ever told the Demon Empress about it. Lan Fozi naturally could not tell her mother about something so embarrassing, while Di Tian had not had the time to explain it.
Thus, in the Demon Empress's mind, their words automatically turned into a much longer and entirely different story:
Fozi wanted Di Tian... to eat Whale Rubber!
Whale Rubber could strengthen one's body, but it was surely useless to someone with Di Tian's cultivation. That left only one function... aphrodisiac effects, heightening pleasure, and increasing mating ability.
Di Tian was "bullying" Lan Fozi!
There was such a difference in seniority between you two!
She called him Senior at every turn. Was this some new kind of play?!
And they had even used Whale Rubber. Daughter, daughter, were you really that ravenous?!
Or had you learned bad habits after all those years traveling through the human world?
Yet the Demon Empress parted her lips, only to say nothing.
She had only just repaired her relationship with her daughter. It was best not to say too much and annoy her.
Moreover, Lan Fozi was no longer a child. Sigh... a grown daughter could not be controlled by her mother.
Forget it, forget it. Following Di Tian was better than transforming into human form and wandering around the human world alone, lest she be lured away by some human man one day.
The well-traveled Demon Empress did not doubt in the slightest the unspeakable curse widely circulated among Soul Beasts: any Soul Beast that transformed into human form and walked the human world would inevitably fall in love with a human of the opposite sex and go mad enough to disown all family and kin.
Countless cases passed down through the Soul Beast world over innumerable years had proven this to be an ironclad rule.
Fortunately, her daughter had not shown any signs of it yet.
With that thought, the Demon Empress found Di Tian especially pleasing to the eye and felt that leaving Lan Fozi with him was quite a good choice.
As for the difference in seniority between them? A minor issue. They could simply address each other differently in the future.
After that long chain of thoughts convinced her, the Demon Empress intended to quietly leave and give Di Tian and Lan Fozi some private space.
After all, her daughter was not lacking in any way. Staying by Di Tian's side gave her the advantage of proximity; she might not necessarily lose to Zi Ji and Xue Ling.
Just as she was about to withdraw, Di Tian spoke.
"I'm not that cold-hearted. You mother and daughter have only just reunited; I won't make you part so soon."
"I still have some matters to attend to, and I need you, Demon Empress, to keep watch here."
After saying this, he could clearly feel Lan Fozi's hand clutching his sleeve tighten, even trembling slightly in excitement.
Meeting the Demon Empress's puzzled gaze, Di Tian continued:
"Does the Holy Spirit Cult have any Evil Soul Masters skilled at controlling humans and helping Soul Masters rapidly increase their cultivation?"
"The stronger their cultivation, the better. I need them to accompany me to Shrek Academy and control a Shrek Academy student. She will be of great use to me."
When it came to controlling humans and forcibly boosting a Soul Master's cultivation, no one in the world could surpass Evil Soul Masters.
To ensure the control was stable, Di Tian naturally intended to choose the best among the best.
The air fell silent for a moment. Since Di Tian did not elaborate further, the Demon Empress did not ask. Instead, she began naming Evil Soul Masters who met his requirements.
"The stronger, the better... Below me, the Two Emperors Four Kings are the strongest. The Ghost Underworld Two Emperors do not meet your requirements."
