Sudden Change, Tang San Appears

In the image—

Huo Yutong gazed at the Seven-Colored Elk King, her Spirit Eye already quietly activated, faint golden ripples spreading across her eyes.

Guided by Huo Yutong's Spiritual Power, the Seven-Colored Elk King radiated a seven-colored light beyond words.

Huo Yutong raised her left hand to her chest; the silver chain at her wrist flashed faintly, and the Three-Colored Scepter settled steadily into her palm.

The scepter's shaft was white as congealed fat, inlaid with red crystal, blue amber, and green jade.

Then came the sound—a complex, utterly incomprehensible incantation.

A golden hexagram began to trace itself on the ground, enveloping Huo Yutong and the Seven-Colored Elk King within it.

Time passed minute by minute. The light within the hexagram grew stronger, the symbols more numerous.

With the Seven-Colored Elk King at the center, a visible ring of energy exploded outward like a shockwave. The ancient trees around them bent and snapped their branches; fallen leaves were swept into a vortex.

Huo Yutong gripped the scepter tightly, and the light in her Spirit Eye suddenly burst forth.

When it reached a critical point—

"Thud."

A dull sound.

The Seven-Colored Elk King's front knees suddenly buckled. Its massive body slowly collapsed, and the seven-colored mane around its neck instantly lost its luster.

Thus, it had completely lost its life.

Seeing this, all the soul beasts turned furious gazes toward Huo Yutong.

If not for the lesson still fresh in their minds from moments ago, these soul beasts would have swarmed forward long ago, tearing the deceitful humans before them to shreds.

Gu Yuena's silver-purple skirt swept over the grass blades upturned by the shockwave. She frowned slightly, turning her head to look at Gu Tian not far away.

There was no anger in that gaze—only an icy interrogation—

clearly saying, Isn't this supposed to be a soul spirit ritual?

Why did it end up like this in the end?

Star Luo Imperial Palace.

"Did it fail?"

Xu Jiawei frowned, muttering uncertainly to himself.

"No, it succeeded!"

Looking at the girl in the image, Gu Tian smiled and shook his head.

In this regard, Huo Yutong could only be said to have done better than Huo Yuhao in the Original Work—even more outstanding.

In the Original Work, to ensure the success of his first soul spirit ritual, Huo Yuhao not only used the Fate Eye but also activated his Martial Soul True Body.

Huo Yutong, on the other hand, used nothing at all. She simply handed in a perfect answer sheet like that.

The two of them, in a sense, should be counterparts from different timelines, with no essential difference in talent.

It just goes to show—having a teacher versus not having one makes a world of difference.

That's right. On that timeline, Electrolux was still alive.

Although Electrolux did not appear in this scene, Gu Tian believed he was definitely still alive.

Otherwise, this soul spirit ritual wouldn't be so complete, nor would it have gone so smoothly.

And Snow Empress, ranked third among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, would never have become his soul spirit.

Thinking of Snow Empress becoming his soul spirit, Gu Tian couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.

Among all soul beasts, the ones Gu Tian most wanted to become his soul spirits were Snow Empress, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji—whose whereabouts were still unknown.

These few not only had looks and strength but were also very suitable as soul rings for his sets of Light Shadow Armor.

Among them, Jade Swan Bi Ji was undoubtedly a perfect fit for the Wood Wind Eagle Armor.

As for Heavenly Snow Woman Snow Empress and Hell Demon Dragon King Zi Ji—one was ice and snow attribute, the other was yin-water attribute—both were well-suited for the Water Black Rhinoceros Armor.

Though, Gu Tian's favorite was still the Fire Flame Dragon Armor.

Unfortunately, among the known Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, there didn't seem to be a suitable candidate.

The image continued playing—

"This is a necessary process. Just wait!"

To this, Gu Tian only replied indifferently.

Just then, the vast seven-colored energy, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, surged into Huo Yutong's body.

As the immense energy poured in, Huo Yutong could clearly feel her own soul power climbing wildly like a rocket.

Her limbs and bones were also being continuously strengthened by a warm energy.

At the same time, a red soul ring with two golden patterns rose from beneath her feet.

The next moment, a seven-colored light converged in front of Huo Yutong.

A miniature, lifelike seven-colored fawn quietly coalesced into being.

"I... have I become a Soul Spirit?"

The seven-colored fawn first looked bewildered, then after sensing its own state, couldn't help but exclaim in wonder, "How marvelous!"

"The Soul Spirit that my teacher and I created is neither oppression nor enslavement, but an equal partnership!"

Huo Yutong smiled and extended her slender hand toward the seven-colored fawn. "From now on, we are companions walking side by side!"

"Companions walking side by side?"

Hearing this, the seven-colored fawn paused slightly, sensing Huo Yutong's sincerity.

Then, a seven-colored radiance flickered around her.

When the light faded, in her place stood a little girl in a short jacket patterned with maple leaves—the antlers atop her head still carrying a faint, lingering glow, and a tuft of deer fur that hadn't yet vanished clinging to the curls falling over her shoulders.

She looked up at Huo Yutong for a moment, then gently placed her small hand on top of hers. "You can call me Lulu."

This scene, so remarkably harmonious, stirred deep emotion in all who witnessed it.

After a brief calm, it was as if a pot had boiled over, with excited voices rising one after another.

"A Soul Spirit, so this is a Soul Spirit!"

"This is a masterpiece that will change the structure of the world!"

"I want such an adorable Soul Spirit too!"

"I was just wondering how we Soul Beasts could ever coexist peacefully with humans?"

"I never expected coexistence to be like this."

"This is pretty great, isn't it?"

The hostility in Di Tian's eyes finally vanished at this moment, replaced by a strange excitement.

Compared to the love-struck Silver Dragon King, Di Tian was truly worthy of his identity as the Lord of Soul Beasts' representative, tirelessly striving for the future of the Soul Beast Clan.

Ever since the Dragon God had departed, Di Tian's greatest wish was to become a god, and for this, he did not hesitate to defy the heavens.

He had resolutely chosen to undergo tribulation multiple times, all for the sake of becoming a god.

And the sole purpose of becoming a god was to protect the Soul Beast Clan.

Unfortunately, in the Original Work, he ultimately failed to change the fate of the Soul Beasts being persecuted!

At this moment, whether human or intelligent Soul Beast, a hope for the future rose in everyone's hearts.

They seemed to already see a new era about to arrive.

However, the scene suddenly began to darken.

A sudden change occurred!

A phantom figure descended without warning.

The newcomer had hair like a waterfall of water-blue, reaching down to their feet.

They wore a magnificent blue robe, upon which ripples seemed to flow.

Appearing no more than twenty-something, their eyes were deep, as if encompassing all things, with a faint purple glint occasionally flashing, stirring the heart.

A trident carving adorned their forehead, proclaiming their identity.

When that figure appeared on the Sky Curtain, many eyes were filled with disbelief and shock!

"Sea God Tang San!"

Mu En spoke the name, word by word.
