Others weren't quite sure why Ling Tian and the others had deliberately incorporated the Beast Soul Realm into their reconstruction of Beast Soul Valley, but Chi Xue and the others understood. The Beast Soul Realm was the Small World of the Ancient Divine Beast Heaven-Devouring Wolf Clan. If Little Hou, being of the same clan, could devour and fuse with it, he would benefit greatly. So Chi Xue and the others quickly figured out why Ling Tian and his companions were heading to the southern region of the God Realm to rebuild Beast Soul Valley. Of course, their guess was only partly right. They didn't know the other part; otherwise, they would have spread the news that Little Hou and the Phoenix Soul Fruit Tree were in the Beast Soul Realm long ago. That would certainly have caused Ling Tian and the others plenty of trouble.
Once they realized Ling Tian and the others were rebuilding Beast Soul Valley to give Little Hou a chance to devour and fuse with the Beast Soul Realm, everyone began to worry. Little Hou was already very powerful. If he devoured and fused with the Beast Soul Realm, he might reach the level just below a near-sage, or even become a near-sage. If that happened, he would surely cause Chi Xue and the others a great deal of trouble in the future.
It made sense. The Beast Soul Realm's former master, the Elder Heaven-Devouring Wolf, had been at least a near-sage. If Little Hou completely devoured and fused with the Small World it had left behind, it would be easy for him to break through in one fell swoop to the level just below a near-sage, or even to become one. If that happened, Little Hou's strength would reach a terrifying level, perhaps even
