"But Beast God Di Tian, I'm not here to provoke you. On the contrary, I'm here to help you."
Lin Chen spoke shamelessly.
Di Tian immediately laughed when he heard that.
"Your little trick is indeed somewhat interesting. You can transmit sound without using any Soul Power, but that is all. You are merely a child who has not even obtained a soul ring. How could you possibly help me?"
As he spoke, a vicious gleam appeared in Di Tian's eyes.
"The only way you can help me is by dying with all your secrets. Tell me, how much did you hear about our plan, and who else knows?"
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled at Di Tian. "If I said I was the only one who knew, would you immediately kill me to silence me?"
"Then how many people know? When exactly did you send this eavesdropping device into the core region, and by what means?"
"About a year ago, before your master took human form. This thing is decent, right? It doesn't consume Soul Power and can store energy for so long. It runs on solar power. Luckily, I'm a science student, and there are so many amazing metals here that I could make it by hand."
"As for how it got there, don't overthink it. It just crawled over normally. Whenever it runs out of power, I'll have it crawl up to recharge."
Lin Chen had actually lied here. Even with solar charging, he would not have dared expose it.
So it had remained on standby the entire time. Otherwise, it would have been discovered long ago.
But he could only say that. How else could he explain it? Was he supposed to tell Di Tian that he knew their plan from the plot?
"Very good. You have explained the origin of this thing and the timing. Now there is only one final question. How many others know about this?"
"Could you put me down first? This feels kind of weird."
Di Tian merely shook his head.
Lin Chen was not annoyed. "I won't answer that question yet, Beast God. Let's continue our previous topic. I'm sure you're curious about what kind of deal a six-year-old child would risk his life to make with you."
"No, I'm not curious!"
"No, you are curious!"
"I am not curious!"
"Then just kill me. Why are you wasting words with me? If you could find me through that method, you could certainly use it to find anyone else who knew about this. Of course, you should already know that there is no one besides me.
I came here alone. At worst, I'll die. That's still better than living uselessly. To be honest, for certain special reasons, although I have Twin Martial Souls, my Innate Soul Power is only level 0.5. It's the worst cultivation aptitude possible."
Di Tian fell silent. Then, he slowly uttered a sentence.
"I will give you one minute. If you cannot convince me, you will die."
"My martial soul possesses a very special ability. By contracting a soul beast, I can grant that soul beast the ability of Transcendent Reproduction. However, it only works on beings over ten thousand years old with powerful bloodlines."
"But the soul beast race is nearly extinct. I could not find any powerful soul beasts over ten thousand years old. Through my information channels, I learned that several ferocious beasts still exist in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest, so I could only place my hopes on you."
"As long as you sign a contract with me, you can obtain the ability of Transcendent Reproduction. No matter how powerful your bloodline is, after mating with other animals, you can impregnate them in one go. Moreover, the gestation and hatching time will be absurdly short, not even exceeding half a year."
"Every descendant born through contracted soul beasts can feed back a portion of its Soul Power to help me cultivate. As for you, you can allow the soul beast race to be reborn. Although soul beasts are basically extinct now, I have been planning this in my heart for years."
"There are currently four great ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest: you, Bear Lord of the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bears, Myriad Demon King of the Demonic-Eyed Trees, and Scarlet King of the Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiffs.
"You can first use Transcendent Reproduction to mate with ordinary animals. Once descendants are born, those descendants will inevitably become soul beasts due to your powerful bloodlines.
"Then you can mate with the soul beast descendants of the others. At that point, those soul beasts carrying your bloodlines will give birth to even stronger descendants. Repeating this process, you four Beast Kings will cultivate an entirely new soul beast race and bring prosperity back to the soul beasts."
"As for your master's plan, I personally think it is meaningless. Even if you destroy all humanity, the soul beasts that were exterminated cannot be resurrected.
"Even if your master's plan can truly revive those dead soul beasts, they would merely be energy-based resurrected forms. They would be far inferior to real soul beasts, and their numbers would surely be extremely limited. There is no point. On the other hand, as long as you follow me, you can first create soul beasts with ordinary animals.
"Then, by breeding with those soul beasts, you can create even stronger soul beast descendants. With the effects of Transcendent Reproduction, the descendants born will certainly possess stronger bloodlines than the previous generation. In time, perhaps a new Dragon God might even be born among your descendants. By then, you will be the Dragon God's father."
Afraid Di Tian would lose patience before hearing everything, Lin Chen rattled it all off in one breath like a machine gun.
After hearing it, Beast God Di Tian was dumbfounded.
The amount of information was simply too much.
"Y-you said what? Transcendent Reproduction? Creating a soul beast race? Giving birth to a Dragon God?"
Di Tian looked utterly bewildered.
Lin Chen discovered that Di Tian was quite capable of picking out keywords.
Why had Di Tian remained by the Silver Dragon King's side all this time?
Was it not because he hoped his master could bring prosperity to the soul beast race, lead them in rebuilding the Dragon God Realm, and allow soul beasts to become gods as well?
Di Tian harbored an obsession with the emergence of a new Dragon God.
Now, Lin Chen was saying that he could help Di Tian give birth to a Dragon God and make him the Dragon God's father.
There was no way he could refuse such temptation.
Because in the Dragon God Realm, Di Tian had merely been a guard.
"The killing intent of Lord Beast God has completely disappeared. It seems you are very tempted!"
"Nonsense. If what you say is true, I would even let you become the Dragon God. The soul beast race is already extinct. Only a few livestock soul beasts raised by the Spirit Pagoda and other soul masters remain. In my eyes, they do not even count as true soul beasts.
"If this so-called Transcendent Reproduction of yours can allow me to endlessly produce descendants with powerful bloodlines, then even if it cannot produce a Dragon God, I am confident I can create an entirely new soul beast species."
Di Tian was, after all, one of the most powerful dragons in this world. He could tell whether Lin Chen was lying.
Although he was still uncertain whether Lin Chen truly possessed this ability, at the very least, Lin Chen had not told a single lie from beginning to end.
Di Tian snorted coldly, grabbed Lin Chen by the shoulder, and a black vortex immediately appeared beside them.
He leaped into it with Lin Chen, and the two quickly traveled from the outermost edge of the Star Dou Great Forest to its core region.
At last, Lin Chen met the other three great ferocious beasts.
A smile appeared on his lips.
He had taken the first step. Soon, he could begin his great breeding enterprise.
