On the screen—
Huo Yutong gazed at the Seven-Colored Elk King. Her Spirit Eye had quietly opened, and pale golden ripples shimmered in her eyes.
Guided by Huo Yutong's Spiritual Power, the Seven-Colored Elk King began to radiate a dazzling light in seven colors, impossible to describe in words.
Huo Yutong raised her left hand to her chest. The silver chain around her wrist glimmered, and the Three-Colored Scepter settled firmly into her palm.
Its shaft was as white as polished jade, set with red crystal, blue amber, and green jade.
Then came a complex incantation, utterly incomprehensible to anyone listening.
A golden hexagram began to take shape on the ground, enveloping Huo Yutong and the Seven-Colored Elk King.
Time passed second by second. The light within the hexagram grew ever stronger, and more and more symbols appeared.
Centered on the Seven-Colored Elk King, visible waves of energy exploded outward in rings. The surrounding ancient trees bent beneath the force, and fallen leaves whirled into a vortex.
Huo Yutong gripped the scepter tightly. A brilliant light suddenly burst from her Spirit Eye.
When it reached a critical point—
"Thump!"
A muffled sound rang out.
The Seven-Colored Elk King suddenly dropped to its front knees. Its massive body slowly collapsed, and the seven-colored mane around its neck instantly lost its luster.
With that, it had lost its life completely.
At the sight, every Soul Beast glared furiously at Huo Yutong.
If not for the lesson they had just witnessed—
Those Soul Beasts would have rushed forward long ago, tearing these deceitful humans to pieces.
Gu Yuena's silver-purple skirt swept across the grass flattened by the waves of energy. Frowning slightly, she turned to look at Gu Tian, who stood not far away.
Her eyes held no anger, only a cold question—
Wasn't this supposed to be a Soul Spirit ritual?
Why had it ended like this?
Star Luo Imperial Palace.
"Did it fail?"
Xu Jiawei murmured uncertainly, his brows knitted together.
"No. It succeeded!"
Gu Tian smiled and shook his head as he watched the girl on the screen.
In this regard, Huo Yutong had simply done better than Huo Yuhao in the Original Work—she was more capable, too.
In the Original Work, to ensure that his first Soul Spirit ritual succeeded, Huo Yuhao had used the Fate Eye and even his Martial Soul Avatar.
Huo Yutong, on the other hand, had used none of that. She had simply turned in a perfect answer.
In a sense, the two of them were counterparts from different times and worlds. There was no fundamental difference in their talents.
It just went to show how much of a difference having a teacher could make.
That's right. Electrolux was still alive on that timeline.
Although Electrolux hadn't appeared in the scene, Gu Tian was certain he was still alive.
Otherwise, the Soul Spirit ritual wouldn't have been so complete, nor would it have gone so smoothly.
And Snow Empress, ranked third among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, wouldn't have become his Soul Spirit.
At the thought of Snow Empress becoming his Soul Spirit, Gu Tian couldn't help feeling delighted.
Of all the Soul Beasts, the ones Gu Tian most wanted as his Soul Spirits were Snow Empress, Bi Ji, and Zi JI, whose whereabouts were still unknown.
Not only were they beautiful and powerful, they were also perfect choices for the Soul Rings of his Light Shadow Armors.
Jade Swan Bi Ji was undoubtedly suited to the Wood Wind Eagle Armor.
Snow Empress and Hell Demon Dragon King Zi JI had ice-and-snow and yin-water attributes, respectively. Both were an excellent match for the Water Black Rhinoceros Armor.
Still, his favorite was the Fire Flame Dragon Armor.
Unfortunately, among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts he knew of, there didn't seem to be a suitable candidate.
The scene continued to play—
"This is a necessary part of the process. Just wait!"
Gu Tian merely gave that calm reply.
Just then, the immense seven-colored energy surged toward Huo Yutong, pouring into her like countless rivers flowing into the sea.
As that enormous energy entered her body, Huo Yutong could clearly feel her Soul Power soaring like a rocket.
A warm energy also coursed through her limbs and bones, continuously strengthening them.
At the same time, a red Soul Ring bearing two golden lines rose from beneath her feet.
The next moment, a seven-colored light gathered in front of Huo Yutong.
A tiny, lifelike fawn in seven colors quietly took shape.
"I... I've become a Soul Spirit?"
The little fawn first looked bewildered. Then, after sensing its new state, it exclaimed in wonder, "This really is incredible!"
"The Soul Spirit system my teacher and I created isn't about oppression or enslavement. It's an equal partnership!"
Huo Yutong smiled and extended her delicate hand toward the little fawn. "From now on, we'll be companions, walking forward side by side!"
"Companions, walking forward side by side?"
Hearing that, the little fawn paused, sensing Huo Yutong's sincerity.
Then the seven-colored light around her flickered.
When the light faded, a little girl stood in its place, wearing a short jacket patterned with maple leaves. A faint glow still lingered on her antlers, and a stray tuft of deer fur clung to the curls over her shoulders, not yet vanished.
She gazed up at Huo Yutong for a moment, then gently placed her small hand in Huo Yutong's. "You can call me Lulu."
The remarkably harmonious scene moved everyone who saw it.
After a brief silence, excited voices erupted one after another, as if the crowd had boiled over.
"So this is a Soul Spirit!"
"This is an incredible creation that will change the world!"
"I want a cute Soul Spirit like that, too!"
"I used to wonder how we Soul Beasts could ever coexist peacefully with humans."
"I never imagined it would happen like this."
"This is pretty good, isn't it?"
The hostility in Di Tian's eyes finally disappeared. In its place was an unusual excitement.
Compared with the Silver Dragon King, who had let love cloud her judgment, Di Tian was the one who truly deserved the title of Lord of Soul Beasts. He was always fighting for the future of the Soul Beasts.
Ever since the Dragon God had departed, Di Tian's greatest wish had been to become a god. For that goal, he had not hesitated to challenge the heavens.
Time and again, he had resolutely chosen to brave the tribulation, all for the sake of becoming a god.
And his sole purpose in becoming a god was to protect the Soul Beast Clan.
Unfortunately, in the Original Work, he still failed to change the Soul Beasts' fate of being persecuted!
At that moment, both humans and intelligent Soul Beasts felt hope for the future welling up in their hearts.
It was as if they could already see a whole new era on the horizon.
However, the scene suddenly darkened.
A sudden transformation!
A phantom appeared there without warning.
The newcomer had long, water-blue hair that flowed down to his feet like a waterfall.
He wore a lavish blue robe that seemed to ripple like water.
He appeared to be in his twenties. His gaze was deep and all-encompassing, and a hint of purple occasionally flashed through it, making hearts flutter.
A trident-shaped marking on his forehead revealed his identity.
When the figure appeared on the Sky Curtain, many people stared in disbelief and shock!
"Sea God Tang San!"
Mu En enunciated each word.
