The Fusion of Two Great Forests (1)

Seeing such an enormous forest appear above the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian and the other Beasts were immediately terrified. One after another, they rose into the air, only to run straight into Gu Yuena.

"Master, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly move an entire forest here?" Di Tian and the other Beasts asked in confusion.

"This is the Sunset Forest. In a moment, my sister and I will fuse it with the Star Dou Great Forest, forming a Small Plane!"

"You must immediately bring all the Soul Beasts within the Star Dou Great Forest to the vicinity of the Lake of Life, so that the chaotic Heavenly Yuan Force during the fusion does not harm these little ones."

After all, fusing the two great forests, Star Dou and Sunset, was not as simple as merely placing them together. The Life Energy and Heavenly Yuan Force of both sides had to be thoroughly merged, creating the embryonic form of a plane!

During that process, the Heavenly Yuan Force within both forests could easily erupt into turmoil. Its intensity would be extremely high, and Soul Beasts with cultivation below a hundred thousand years would either die or be severely injured if caught in it!

Therefore, they had to be relocated and protected before the fusion began!

"A Small Plane? Wonderful, Master! We'll get right to it!"

"Haha, our Soul Beast Clan finally has a true home of our own. The two Masters truly possess boundless power!"

"Hmph, of course. Both Masters are God Kings!"

"Enough talking. Let's hurry back into the forest and gather those little ones. Do you intend to make Master Golden Dragon King keep holding up the Sunset Forest?"

"That's right. Let's go quickly. Carrying out Master's orders is what matters!"

After hearing Gu Yuena's words, the Beasts were all overjoyed and immediately flew toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, Gu Yuena suddenly seemed to recall something and promptly called them back before asking, "Oh, right. Didn't Huo Yuhao ask you to test the battle armor before? How did it go?"

At that, the Beasts became excited and immediately gathered around Gu Yuena, chattering away.

"Master, the battle armor experiment was a great success. The improvements to every attribute were simply enormous!"

"Those little ones with only around ten thousand years of cultivation rose several tiers in combat strength after wearing it. They could even rival twenty-thousand-year Soul Beasts!"

"This is only One-Word Battle Armor developed for youngsters. If it were three-word or four-word battle armor, it's hard to imagine how many tens of thousands of years of cultivation it could add to the Beasts!"

"Though I don't like him much, I have to admit that Huo Yuhao really is a genius in Soul Tool research and development!"

"When we had only just left the God Realm, Master Golden Dragon King's decision to bring that kid along was truly the right one," the Evil Emperor remarked from the side.

"Sigh, we used to reject Mechas and battle armor so strongly. That was what drove the Soul Beast Clan to the brink of extinction. If we had accepted them sooner, perhaps things would not have turned out like this." Di Tian sighed.

In truth, when Huo Yuhao had first wanted to conduct battle armor experiments on them, these Soul Beasts had all been resistant. Only because of Gu Yuexi's orders had they reluctantly cooperated with Huo Yuhao.

It was not until they put on the battle armor and personally experienced its tremendous enhancements that their views on Mechas, battle armor, and all kinds of Soul Tools greatly changed, and they gradually began accepting them.

"Mhm, very good. From now on, not only must you cooperate with Huo Yuhao's experiments, you must also begin studying the various materials brought over from the Sun Moon Federation yourselves. Manage the Star Dou Great Forest well, and lay the foundation for the future establishment of the Soul Beast God Realm!"

"This is your only task for now. Leave everything else to my sister and me!"

"Alright, go attend to your respective duties now!"

"Yes, Master!"

With that, the Beasts immediately returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Not long afterward, the formerly tranquil Star Dou Great Forest began to grow noisy.

Under the leadership and command of the Beasts, all the Soul Beasts began heading toward the Lake of Life. Their heavy footsteps rumbled like muffled thunder, carrying the momentum of countless beasts charging ahead.

Fortunately, most Soul Beasts had now developed intelligence and were easier to communicate with. Unlike before, they no longer had to be driven to designated locations through the pressure of the Beasts.

Therefore, although the procession was immense, it remained orderly throughout. There was none of the utter chaos of past beast tides, nor did any scenes of Soul Beasts slaughtering one another occur.

Every Soul Beast acted according to the Beasts' orders and direction, without the slightest confusion. At this moment, the entire Star Dou Great Forest was like a precision machine, slowly operating.

Some of the faster or stronger Soul Beasts even took the initiative to help Plant-Type Soul Beasts with limited mobility, as well as elderly, weak, sick, and injured Soul Beasts.

"Mhm~ It seems that after removing the rule that suppressed intelligence, the Soul Beasts have made enormous progress in wisdom. They've even learned to help one another now. Very good!"

"If this continues, it probably won't be long before a civilization unique to Soul Beasts takes shape."

Holding up the Sunset Forest, Gu Yuexi silently watched the Soul Beasts below, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

After all, the Soul Beast Clan's actions now showed that they had begun slowly progressing from primitive, blood-drinking beasts toward civilization.

For the development of the Soul Beast Clan, this was an absolutely crucial step!

"Big Sister, honestly, in all the hundreds of thousands of years I spent recovering in the Star Dou Great Forest, this is the first time I've seen the Soul Beasts achieve such unity and order. Very impressive!"

Gu Yuena was also deeply moved by the sight before her.

Because most of the Soul Beast Seeds sent over by the Spirit Pagoda were still stored at the bottom of the Lake of Life and had not completely hatched, the number of Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest was not yet very large.

Thus, under the direction of Beasts such as Di Tian and Evil Eye, all the Soul Beasts were quickly brought to the shores of the Lake of Life.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena immediately wielded her Divine Power to form a shield glowing with Silver Light, protecting all the Soul Beasts within it. Her cool voice followed.

"No matter what happens later, none of you may leave the shield's boundaries without my sister's and my permission!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Na'er, everything has been taken care of, right? Then the fusion officially begins now!" Gu Yuexi said with a smile.
