Honestly, regarding the rule that the God Realm can't interfere with mortal affairs, is it really that strictly enforced?
Not at all!
Even the Asura God, the enforcer of God Realm rules, breaks the rules. Do you think there are few others among the gods who slip through the cracks?
"I will definitely get it back."
Ye Wen took a deep breath, suppressing these thoughts for the moment and pushing them out of his mind.
He was a vengeful person. He would forever remember the Thunder God and the Sea God, whom the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King also resented. These two Level 1 Deities would be etched in his memory.
But for now, he had to become stronger!
He needed to subdue more powerful Soul Beasts and build a larger Soul Beast force!
Before, he subdued Soul Beasts and cultivated a Soul Beast force simply to operate more smoothly on the continent. But now, he wanted to lead all Soul Beasts to resist the human Deities!
"Xiao Bai, Evil Tiger."
At this moment, Ye Wen had already switched to his semi-human form and approached Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai.
"Boss, you..." Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai clearly sensed that Ye Wen's aura was very weak, and they asked with concern.
"It's nothing. Let them go, and let's leave." Ye Wen waved his hand.
"Yes!"
Seeing this, Xiao Bai and Evil Tiger walked towards Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
At this moment, Dugu Bo had lost all the arrogant and overbearing attitude he had when he first met the three of them. He was also extremely scared and terrified. Dugu Bo pleaded, "Three lords! Take those rare immortal herbs if you want them! Please, spare my granddaughter!"
Dugu Bo's heart ached immensely at the thought of so many good things being taken away, but he didn't dare to ask for them back now!
His greatest hope was to save his own life and his granddaughter's.
"Spare us! Three lords! I, Dugu Bo, have always been proud and have never begged anyone like this. This old man is willing to die, as long as you can spare my beloved granddaughter!" Dugu Bo cried, tears streaming down his face.
Sigh, this narrow-minded Dugu Bo! Although I don't really like this old poison master, I have to admit, he's really good to his granddaughter... Ye Wen chuckled inwardly.
He walked up to Dugu Bo and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Rest assured, I won't kill you. I just want these immortal herbs."
"R-really?"
The next second, the ropes binding them instantly loosened.
But Dugu Bo didn't resist, nor did he immediately run away with his granddaughter. He stood frozen in place, not daring to move.
Because he knew that someone who could knock him out with a single punch was not someone he could contend with, no matter what he did.
He also couldn't understand how such a powerful expert had appeared on the continent. Dugu Bo racked his brain but couldn't figure it out!
The grandfather and granddaughter stood before Ye Wen, trembling and meek.
"We won't just take these immortal herbs for nothing. In return, I can help you remove the backlash poison from your bodies," Ye Wen said.
"What!"
The grandfather and granddaughter exchanged glances, filled with surprise. They hadn't expected him to see the flaw in their poison cultivation at a glance.
Dugu Bo asked defensively, "How... how will you remove the backlash poison from our bodies?"
Ye Wen smiled faintly and took out an immortal herb he had picked:
"Naturally, by using poison to counter poison. This one is called the Blood Bone Poison Rose. If you consume it, its toxicity will instantly erode your bone marrow. Even though the backlash poison in your bodies has already reached your bone marrow, it will be assimilated by its poison in a short period, and the backlash poison will be resolved."
"As practitioners of poison, you can suppress this poison. Afterwards, you can assimilate it with your own poison. And because your bodies have been eroded by the Blood Bone Poison Rose, you will develop antibodies and will no longer be affected by the backlash poison."
"Simply put, after eating it, you won't poison yourselves and can continue to cultivate your poison skills effectively."
"This! These exotic herbs actually have such a miraculous effect? Are you sure?" Dugu Bo was a bit skeptical. He suspected Ye Wen might want to use this exotic herb to kill him and his granddaughter.
He also found it hard to accept that such a good thing existed in his own courtyard, and he didn't know how to use it. Wasn't that hilarious!
"Believe it or not. Anyway, I'll give this immortal herb back to you. It's up to you whether you eat it or not." Ye Wen dropped the immortal herb and called out to Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai, "Let's go!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's treasure trove contained all sorts of things. Among them was a book that recorded all the immortal herbs and their medicinal properties that had appeared on the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years.
It was a book left behind by a land Soul Master from over three thousand years ago. At that time, this person had ventured out to sea and accidentally encountered the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Therefore, before coming here, Ye Wen had already read this book on immortal herbs and was thoroughly familiar with each one.
"Thank you, sir! If this flower is truly as effective as you say, I, Dugu Bo, will do three things for you!"
Even though his immortal herbs were stolen, Dugu Bo couldn't get angry. Instead, he had to thank these three respectfully, because if such powerful experts came to trouble him again, he truly couldn't handle it!
Moreover, if this flower was truly effective and could resolve the backlash poison from himself and his granddaughter, then losing all the immortal herbs seemed acceptable.
"Three things? Heh heh, alright. Then I'll tell you the first thing: If you ever meet someone named Tang San in the future, don't kill him, and don't cripple him. Just give him a good thrashing. I'll keep the remaining two requests."
Ye Wen's voice echoed as the three of them disappeared without a trace.
Dugu Bo muttered to himself, "Tang San? Who is this guy!?"
A long time later, Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai had left the Sunset Forest and were heading towards their next destination, Slaughter City.
The three of them sat in a carriage, recalling Ye Wen's tribulation earlier. Xiao Bai asked with a serious expression, "Boss, what was that phantom image in the sky when you were undergoing your tribulation?"
"That was the Thunder God, trying to kill me during my tribulation." A murderous glint flashed in Ye Wen's eyes.
"What!? Why is this?" The Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai were very confused.
Ye Wen said, "The human gods in the God Realm will not allow us to inherit godhood and ascend to godhood. Some even target us maliciously. Even if we reach the god-level, we are not allowed. The Thunder God is one such god."
"Outrageous! Why doesn't the God Realm allow us Soul Beasts to become gods? It's already very difficult for our Soul Beast race to cultivate!" The Evil Tiger said indignantly.
"That goes back a very, very long time." Ye Wen decided to tell them about the Dragon God of the God Realm back then.
After listening, the Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai finally understood everything.
"Then, Boss, if the Thunder God finds out you're not dead, will he...?" Xiao Bai was a little worried.
Because he knew Ye Wen would eventually fight the Sea God Heir, and at that time, the Sea God Poseidon would definitely find out.
They were all gods. If they knew each other, it was entirely possible the Thunder God could learn from the Sea God that Ye Wen was still alive.
