Di Tian's Awakening and Lin Chen's Vigilance Against Tang Hao

To carve out such a large pocket world would require no small number of space stones. That was an astronomical expense.

It seemed this guy truly intended to nurture Soul Beasts.

Lin Chen's words reduced Di Tian's doubts about him by a few more degrees.

"What you said makes sense. What we're doing cannot be discovered by Shrek, the Spirit Pagoda, or the Federation. It can only be done in secret, so we really do need a highly concealed location."

"But you, the moment you opened your mouth, it was a pocket world. Kid Lin Chen, is your family background that extraordinary? I've never heard of any Soul Master clan surnamed Lin on Douluo Continent."

Lin Chen's expression immediately darkened at those words.

"I did not come from a Soul Master clan. My family only rose to prominence a few years ago. We are merely a merchant family with a little money."

"Because the Spirit Pagoda coveted my family's secret to making money, they killed my parents."

"So even if I have to make a deal with a tiger and exhaust every last resource, I will still destroy the entire Spirit Pagoda."

"No wonder you wanted me to blow up the Spirit Pagoda. So that was the inside story!"

"But the master's plan..." After hearing Lin Chen's words, Scarlet King immediately revealed a hesitant expression and reminded Di Tian.

Yet Di Tian merely gave him a cold glance.

"Since we made this decision, we have already prepared ourselves to sever ties with the master."

"The master's plan is to control the Spirit Pagoda, then use its resources to find an opportunity to revive Soul Beasts, before using the Spirit Pagoda to destroy humanity."

"I thought it over just now and realized that what Kid Lin Chen said makes a great deal of sense."

"Not only would the number of Soul Beasts revived this way be limited, but whether they could still be called Soul Beasts would be uncertain—after all, they would have been transformed back from soul spirits."

"Moreover, the master's plan may not succeed. Even if it does, the numbers will still be limited."

"I have figured it out. Rather than revive dead Soul Beasts, it would be better to breed a great batch of entirely new Soul Beasts."

"At the very least, the bloodline descendants we breed ourselves will truly exist."

"And whether in terms of numbers or cultivation talent, our current choice is more reliable."

"The master will absolutely not permit heretical beings like us to exist, so she must not learn of this."

Although Di Tian was utterly loyal, did he not have ambitions of his own?

The master had said that the Golden Dragon King was already dead. With only the master remaining, it was no longer possible for a new Dragon God to emerge.

Di Tian treated the master with utmost respect because he respected her and admired her strength.

But following a master who had taken human form, he truly could not see even the slightest hope of reviving the Soul Beast race.

He might as well stake all his hopes on Lin Chen before him—after all, Transcendent Reproduction was simply too tempting!

Master, please wait a little longer. I will surely create an entirely new Dragon Clan in the shortest possible time and bring about the revival of the Dragon Clan and the Soul Beast race. Then I will welcome you back.

After hearing Di Tian's words, Bear Lord and the others understood his resolve.

They did not particularly care. After all, they had never been that loyal to the Silver Dragon King in the first place; they had only submitted due to her power.

Now that even Di Tian, who had been the most loyal to the Silver Dragon King, was preparing to openly comply while secretly defying her, what else was there for them to say?

They just had to follow him and get it done!

In any case, the master had already taken human form. No matter how quickly she cultivated, she could no longer affect them.

There was truly no need for them to obey someone who could only exude authority but possessed no strength.

Compared with the Silver Dragon King, they were more willing to listen to Di Tian. After all, they had followed Di Tian for far longer.

"Beast God, we'll follow you. Let's do it!"

"For the sake of my old bear's countless descendants, I have to pull off this job!"

"Kid Lin Chen, save the first spot for the Beast God. The second spot must be mine, understand?"

After hearing him, Lin Chen flashed him a V sign.

"OK! The second spot has to be yours. Of course we have to choose someone with a strong bloodline. Who else could take the second spot but you?"

The third spot would be Myriad Demon King's, while the fourth naturally went to Scarlet King, whose bloodline and strength were the weakest.

As for those after him, by the time he needed to obtain his fifth soul ring, Soul Beasts suitable for contracting with him would presumably have already been born.

With the growth ability granted by Transcendent Reproduction, as long as these Soul Beasts were fed limitless devouring energy, they could grow wildly.

They could quickly become Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, or even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

That was the strongest cheat ability of Transcendent Reproduction, without equal!

For the offspring born through his Transcendent Reproduction, aside from differences in bloodline and normal cultivation speed—

as long as they activated their devouring ability, every Soul Beast could grow rapidly.

"Then I want the third one! Scarlet King, you have no objections, right? After all, your bloodline is the weakest." Myriad Demon King mocked.

Scarlet King was furious but dared not speak—he only dared vent his anger at Lin Chen. As for the others, he did not even dare let out a peep.

"Then I'll take the fourth."

By now, none of them doubted the truth of Lin Chen's words or questioned his abilities any longer.

The kid had prepared so thoroughly. He was clearly planning to nurture Soul Beasts like mad after contracting with them.

Though the kid had his own goal of increasing his strength, this was mutually beneficial cooperation, and they did not resent it.

"Kid Lin Chen, then let's begin now!"

"Once we sign the contract, we'll be a community bound by fate. Then I can boldly give it my all."

"The space stones you found are among the finest materials for crafting storage Soul Tools."

"With my cultivation, I should be able to carve out a decent pocket world. It will certainly be at least as large as an island."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen immediately felt much more at ease.

The reason he was doing this was not merely to guard against the satellites in the sky, but also against this world's plane lord—damn Tang Hao!

However, Tang Hao did not monitor Douluo Continent at all times. He needed to sleep as well.

As long as there was no particularly major disturbance, Tang Hao could not possibly discover him, just as Gu Yuena had secretly built the Beast Platform.

At the end of the day, Tang Hao was merely a third-rate god.

So what if Tang San had arranged for him to devour the entire Douluo Continent and become its plane lord?

Trash was trash. There was no way he could discover a pocket world!

Lin Chen was deeply dissatisfied with the Tang Family treating Douluo Continent as their backyard, but there was nothing he could do about it for now.

He wanted to purge Douluo of such a malignant tumor, but lacked the power to do so. He could only wait until he became strong enough in the future.

Creating a pocket world was mainly to guard against Tang Hao, but also to develop more effectively.

With a spatial master like Di Tian, there should be no room for error.

He had nearly emptied his entire fortune to sweep up so many space stones from the black market.

This time, he was truly staking everything on a single throw.

There was one advantage to the low-tier fantasy world that was Douluo Continent: no one could directly use spatial attributes to carve out a stable space, nor could they create any spatial formation out of thin air.

To create storage Soul Tools, they could only use rare ores containing spatial elements.

Of course, he had only managed to acquire so many space stones by dismantling quite a few storage Soul Tools.

There could only be fewer, never more, since the amount of space he would need in the future would only continue to increase.

He only hoped Di Tian could use his spatial Soul Core to assist these space stones in carving out a stable and relatively large pocket world. Then he would be thanking the heavens.
