The Unopened Hidden Instance!

"Not long after my transformation."

Lan Aotian said this.

"You just underwent your transformation. Why do you already possess the strength of a Title Douluo?" Titan Giant Ape asked in confusion.

"My transformation is different from transformation in the traditional sense. I didn't rebuild my cultivation from the body of a human child. Instead, I retained all my strength from before my transformation and can freely switch between a human body and my Soul Beast true form."

"This is a special trait inherited through my clan's bloodline. Not all Clan Members possess it, and I happened to become this special case."

"Even the Old Emperor, Ah Yin, wasn't chosen."

Lan Aotian spouted nonsense with a completely serious expression.

"I see. I never expected the Blue Silver Grass Clan to possess such a mysterious inheritance."

"If the Old Emperor, Ah Yin, had been chosen, she wouldn't have fallen in the Human World."

"Alas, everything comes down to fate and timing."

"It seems your clan chose you to lead the Blue Silver Grass Clan to rise in this era."

Sky Azure Bull Python exclaimed in amazement.

Who would have thought that the Blue Silver Grass, regarded as weak by all beings, would possess such a terrifying inheritance?

"Yes. This is also my mission as the New Emperor."

"I will stand on the side of the Soul Beasts."

Lan Aotian nodded, making his allegiance clear.

"That's excellent." Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were delighted upon hearing this.

"By the way, I heard that you're collecting Blue Silver Grass. Why is that?"

"And what is that Light Sphere in your hand?"

Suddenly, Sky Azure Bull Python's gaze fell on the Light Sphere in Lan Aotian's hand.

Lan Aotian said, "This is the Bloodline Talent Divine Ability I awakened after becoming the Blue Silver Emperor. It's called the Palm Blue Silver World. It can take in and cultivate all the members of my Blue Silver Grass Clan, but it's limited to Blue Silver Grass. This is also the key to my clan's rise. I came here this time to take in all the Blue Silver Grass in the core area. After that, I'll collect all the Blue Silver Grass in the entire Star Dou Great Forest."

"I see."

Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were shocked once again.

This Blue Silver Grass Clan clearly wasn't as simple as it appeared.

They were both extremely curious about what the Blue Silver Grass Clan would become after rising to prominence.

"Then go ahead. I permit you to collect all the Blue Silver Grass in the core area."

Sky Azure Bull Python nodded.

"Then thank you."

Lan Aotian poured in a large amount of Soul Power and tossed the Palm Blue Silver World into the sky.

"Blue Silver Grass subjects in the core area, return!"

Lan Aotian's thoughts flowed freely.

The next moment, the Blue Silver Grass and spores in the core area all transformed into streaks of light, tearing themselves from the earth and flying toward the Small World in his palm.

This scene once again amazed the two overlords.

"By the way, Lord Sky Azure Bull Python, I came here this time because I want to confirm something with you."

"Are there any existences stronger than you within the Star Dou Great Forest? Or are they still asleep?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lan Aotian asked.

At these words, Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape exchanged a glance before looking with complicated expressions toward the deeper reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although this place was already in the depths, there was an even deeper region.

That place had not revealed itself.

Instead, it was a Small World.

"Since you stand on the side of my Soul Beast Clan, there's no harm in letting you know."

"There are, and they're very powerful. There are quite a few of them."

"Although the two of us are the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest, we aren't the true overlords. The true overlords are the Ferocious Beasts in that deeper region. They exist within a Small World and are currently all asleep. The weakest among them are Two-Hundred-Thousand-Year Ferocious Beasts."

"Every one of them possesses incomparably powerful and terrifying strength."

"In their presence, we're completely insignificant."

Fear, awe, and apprehension appeared in the eyes of Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape.

There really is one.

At this point in time, they're asleep in a Small World. That's equivalent to an unopened Hidden Instance.

After all, during the first story, when the two overlords were hunted down by the Spirit Hall, those existences didn't come to their aid. That makes it obvious.

This Hidden Instance won't open until the era of The Unrivaled Tang Sect.

Upon hearing this, Lan Aotian wasn't particularly surprised. He had expected it long ago.

"I see. I never expected such terrifying existences to be hidden within the Star Dou Great Forest."

"We Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts truly are nothing in their presence."

"If they were willing to come out, they would have every chance of leading our Soul Beast Clan to destroy humanity and unify the continent. Wouldn't this world then belong to our Soul Beast Clan? What would humans have to do with it?"

Lan Aotian deliberately said this to observe the reactions of the two overlords.

In truth, it was impossible for the Soul Beast Clan to destroy humanity.

The God Realm was humanity's domain.

If the Soul Beasts of Douluo Star truly tried to exterminate all humans, the God Realm would certainly intervene.

By then, the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian, and the other Ferocious Beasts would be no match for a True God.

What was more, the current Silver Dragon King had suffered damage to the foundation of her origin from the Asura God, and Di Tian hadn't fared much better in the divine war.

They had fled to Douluo Star for refuge.

If they revealed themselves at this time, they would only be killed instantly.

"It can't be done. The Soul Beasts are too few in number, and our Combat Strength at high cultivation levels is lacking as well. Even if those lords took action, the humans possess Combat Strength of the same level. If a war between Soul Beasts and humans broke out, both sides would suffer heavy losses, and there would be no winner."

"By then, the Soul Beast Clan would become even fewer in number and would be that much closer to extinction."

"For now, we need to cultivate properly and accumulate strength. We can discuss the rest when the time is right."

Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape said this.

"I know you want to avenge the Old Emperor, Ah Yin, by killing humans, but I must advise you that human society is more dangerous than you imagine. It's full of hidden experts."

"Furthermore, I heard the great figures inside say that above our world, there is another place called the God Realm. The God Realm is primarily ruled by humans. Soul Beasts cannot become gods because we lost the ancient war, and ever since then, the path for Soul Beasts to become gods has been severed."

"You should stay in the Star Dou Great Forest and develop in peace."

Sky Azure Bull Python warned him repeatedly.

"I understand. I know what to do now."

"Rest assured. I'm not reckless."

Lan Aotian said with a solemn expression.

"We've collected almost everything. I'll take my leave first."

"By the way, if anyone asks about the Blue Silver Forest and the Blue Silver Grass, please tell them that they suddenly disappeared overnight without any warning. That will help avoid unnecessary trouble."

He then clasped his fists.

"Fine, we understand."

"Go on."

Sky Azure Bull Python nodded.

Lan Aotian put away the Small World in his palm and vanished from the spot.

At the same time, a figure had already arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

Following the direction from his memories, he arrived at the location of the Blue Silver Forest.

"Strange. Where is the Blue Silver Forest?"

"And why has the Blue Silver Grass around it disappeared as well?"

The newcomer was none other than Tang Hao.

He had rushed over, hoping to find Ah Yin through the Blue Silver Forest.

But instead of Blue Silver Grass, he found other plants before him.

Before Lan Aotian left, he had mobilized his wood-affinity ability and filled the empty ground where the Blue Silver Forest had stood with the surrounding non-Blue Silver Grass plants, preventing unnecessary trouble.

He had also mobilized the power of the world to bring down a small Spirit Rain.

This allowed the plants to grow at an astonishing speed.

Now, the area was shaded by lush greenery, with Towering Giant Trees blotting out the sky and sun.

Tang Hao was completely dumbfounded.

Had his memories become confused?
