"Indeed, it is This Seat."
"But now I am the Blue Silver Emperor."
Lan Aotian said slowly.
As for the Soul Beast Clan, he actually held no great hostility toward them.
In fact, he even felt some goodwill toward them.
Although his soul was human, his body was that of a soul beast.
Compared to humanity's hypocrisy, disgusting politics, and ruthless methods,
he was more inclined to stand with the soul beasts.
After all, in his previous life, he had witnessed far too many filthy, despicable, dark, evil, and cruel things.
All of them had been done by humans.
In his previous life, he had been human. Since he had become the Blue Silver King and then the Blue Silver Emperor in this life, he would naturally stand on the side of the soul beasts.
The White Fox was one of the few Spirit Foxes. Although it was only around ten thousand years old, there was very little killing aura about it. It was clear that it rarely killed and belonged to the kind of soul beast that was kindhearted.
Among soul beasts, there were good ones and bad ones as well.
A Spirit Fox soul beast like this gained intelligence very quickly. After ten thousand years, its wisdom was already quite high.
"Little Fox congratulates the Blue Silver King on successfully advancing to Blue Silver Emperor."
The White Fox was very clever and immediately offered its congratulations.
"This is nothing worth celebrating. Among the Blue Silver Clan, there can only be one emperor on a continent. Only when the Old Emperor falls will the New Emperor be born."
"This Seat becoming emperor means that the Old Emperor, Ah Yin, has already died."
Lan Aotian said slowly.
Of course, this would never happen again in the future.
With the cultivation system he had devised and the Blue Silver Creation Technique, it was already possible to break through this restriction.
In the future, the Old Emperor would not need to die for a New Emperor to be born.
That was because the emperor he had become would continue growing stronger.
By the time another Blue Silver Emperor appeared among the Blue Silver Grass Clan, he had no idea what level his own age would have reached.
Of course, that excluded the Blue Silver Emperor on the Sun Moon Continent.
That fellow was on another continent and did not count here.
Moreover, once Lan Aotian became stronger and his age increased further,
he planned to cross the sea, search for the Sun Moon Continent, and find the Blue Silver Emperor there.
Calculating the time, at this point, the other party's cultivation should have reached around 150,000 years, right? (If this is incorrect, please have the viewers correct it in the comments.)
Of course, this age was only Lan Aotian's guess.
If he found that Blue Silver Emperor and devoured it, merging with it, his comprehension of the Law of Life would become even deeper.
By then, his strength would also become even greater.
"Forget it. This matter can't be blamed on you either. Tell me, what do you want with This Emperor?"
Lan Aotian came back to himself and looked at the White Fox.
The White Fox lowered its head and said respectfully, "It's like this. The two lords in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest wish to meet you. They mean you no harm; it is out of goodwill. They hope you can go and meet them. Little Fox merely happened to encounter you and was sent to deliver the message."
"The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape?" Lan Aotian raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, those two lords." The White Fox nodded.
"Very well. Let's go meet them, then. Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other for many years."
"It can count as a reunion."
Lan Aotian recalled the Blue Silver King's memories from his 85,000 years of existence and spoke slowly.
"The message has been delivered. Little Fox will take its leave now," the White Fox said.
"Go." Lan Aotian nodded and did not make things difficult for the White Fox.
The White Fox breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and ran.
It still had to return to its lair and refine the Heaven-Grown Spirit Fruit the Sky Azure Bull Python had given it to increase its strength.
Lan Aotian gazed toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
This place was quite a distance from there.
However, that distance meant nothing to him.
The reason he had agreed so quickly
was that, aside from wanting to catch up with them and see this world's Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape with his own eyes, he needed to reach that place if he wanted to collect all the Blue Silver Grass currently growing in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Since that was the case, he might as well take this opportunity to go there and collect them along the way.
Besides that, he also planned to verify something extremely important.
That was whether Di Tian, the Silver Dragon King, and the other Ferocious Beasts existed in this world.
After all, the first Douluo installment had never said that they existed.
They had been forcibly added by the author in the second installment to allow the story to develop better.
The first and second installments differed greatly in both logic and settings.
In his previous life, some people had said that during the era of the first installment, Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts were all sleeping in a Small World and only awakened in the second installment.
That explanation made quite a bit of sense.
After all, the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian had fled to Douluo Star for refuge after being defeated in the Divine Realm.
As for creating a Small World, it was not particularly difficult.
He simply did not know which was more powerful: that Small World or his own Palm Blue Silver Small World.
Although it was phrased as a question, he was more inclined to believe in his own.
After all, it had been a reward from the system.
Everything the system provided was top-notch.
There was no way some fantasy-world sewer could compare.
Whoosh!
As a streak of light flew past,
a blue figure appeared in the high sky above the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
It was Lan Aotian.
Everywhere he passed, countless Blue Silver Grass transformed into streaks of light and entered the Palm Small World in Lan Aotian's hand together with their spores.
Upon entering the deep region, he had reached the territory of the two overlords, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
The moment he stepped inside, the two overlords sensed him.
Moreover, Lan Aotian had not concealed his aura in the slightest, releasing the Soul Power fluctuations of a One Hundred Thousand Years soul beast.
Within the enormous lake, the Sky Azure Bull Python's head emerged and stared at the familiar figure high in the sky.
The Titan Giant Ape stood beside the lake.
It appeared especially tiny.
Everyone's attention had been drawn to the enormous Sky Azure Bull Python.
"Lord Sky Azure Bull Python, Lord Titan Giant Ape, long time no see."
"I hope you've been well."
Lan Aotian looked at the two of them as he slowly descended, smiling as he spoke.
"Yes, it has been a long time."
"You... are you really the Blue Silver King?"
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape carefully examined the young man before them and spoke in shock.
"Indeed, it's me." Lan Aotian nodded.
"I didn't expect you to become an Emperor Rank soul beast as well. It seems our previous guess was correct: the Old Emperor, Ah Yin, fell in human society."
The Sky Azure Bull Python spoke sleepily.
Yet another great soul beast had died.
How tragic.
The Soul Beast Clan had lost a Grand General.
"Indeed, that is what happened. She fell."
"The Old Emperor, Ah Yin, transformed into a human, but her strength had not fully recovered to the One Hundred Thousand Years level. In other words, she was only at the level of a human Title Douluo. She was surrounded and killed by powerful human Title Douluo and sacrificed herself to Tang Hao, dying in the process."
"And only then was I able to break through and become Emperor Rank."
"Such is fate. I had told her long ago not to leave with humans, or at least to wait until she became a Title Douluo. Unfortunately, she abandoned us for the sake of loving a human and refused to heed my advice."
"An emperor who does not put the clan first is an emperor we can do without."
"Now that I have become emperor, I will lead the Blue Silver Clan to rise."
"That is the responsibility an emperor should bear."
Lan Aotian spoke slowly.
"With such awareness and responsibility, you are indeed more suited to be the emperor of the Blue Silver Clan than the Old Emperor, Ah Yin."
"When did you undergo Transformation? How did you cultivate to the human Title Douluo realm so quickly?"
After hearing this, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were both impressed. Then they asked in confusion.
Although this Blue Silver Emperor had undergone Transformation and become human, judging from what he had said, he stood on the side of the soul beasts.
This was a good thing.
Thus, the tones of the two overlords became much friendlier.
