The Auspicious Beast: Lord Is Lord!
Di Tian disappeared into the Lake of Life, and the emerald green surface remained as calm as a mirror, without leaving a trace.
Now only Huo Yuhao and the Auspicious Beast beast remained by the lake, several meters apart, neither of them speaking.
Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered his teacher's words: this Lake of Life before him was definitely not simple.
Now, Di Tian descends with Reverse Scale heart, filled with questions, wondering if he can find the answers beneath the Lake of Life.
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly, wondering if what lay beneath the Lake of Life wasn't some treasure, but rather an even more powerful Soul Beast.
For something to command such respect from Di Tian, and for something even Electrolux couldn't see through, what kind of terrifying entity lies at the bottom of the lake?
As he pondered this, Huo Yuhao turned to look at the Auspicious Beast beside him.
It lay on the ground, its golden fur swaying gently in the breeze, like a soft cloud.
Its third eye on its forehead was tightly closed, while the pair of golden pupils below it were looking directly at Huo Yuhao.
Seeing Huo Yuhao looking over, the Auspicious Beast turned its head away and snorted, "What are you looking at?!"
It's clearly still angry.
On its way here before it got angry, Huo Yuhao didn't tell it the truth.
Huo Yuhao, however, didn't seem to care at all. He still had a faint smile on his face, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.
He took a few steps toward the Auspicious Beast, his steps light and quick, and appeared on the side where it had turned its head.
He bent down slightly and asked, "Where is Di Tian going?"
"Snort!"
The Auspicious Beast snorted again, turning its head away as if to say, "I don't want to talk to you."
Why should I tell you?
Huo Yuhao smiled again and turned to the other side of the Auspicious Beast.
His movements were natural, as if he were simply playing with a tantrum-throwing child.
He spoke, his tone somewhat coaxing. "If you tell me, I can answer one question for you."
When facing Auspicious Beast, one naturally doesn't need to be as cautious as when facing Di Tian.
Although it is Emperor Auspicious Beast, it is still young and simple-minded, unlike the cunning and scheming Di Tian.
Even if he's lying, the Auspicious Beast shouldn't be able to tell.
Moreover, now that only he and the Auspicious Beast are here, isn't this the perfect opportunity for him to "make his move"?
He needed to know what lay beneath the Lake of Life, and what Di Tian was really planning.
The Auspicious Beast paused for a moment upon hearing this, tilting its head slightly, its golden fur swaying gently in the breeze, as if weighing something.
After a moment's thought, it slowly turned its head and looked at Huo Yuhao.
The golden eyes reflected Huo Yuhao's image, and it asked, "Really?"
Huo Yuhao nodded seriously. "Of course it's true."
Auspicious Beast felt that since Di Tian had already summoned Huo Yuhao here, there were some things that Di Tian would probably say later, even if he didn't say them himself.
So, it shouldn't be unreasonable for me to reveal it "beforehand" in exchange for a secret I'm curious about, right?
As it thought this, most of its hesitation dissipated.
A moment later, the Auspicious Beast raised its little head, looked at Huo Yuhao, and said, "Di Tian has gone to see the Lord."
Huo Yuhao was startled upon hearing this.
My previous guess was indeed correct. Beneath this Lake of Life lies a being even more terrifying than Di Tian, something that has never been recorded in history.
The humans on the continent have always believed that Di Tian, the Beast God, is the supreme decision-maker of the entire Star Dou, the leader of the Soul Beast Clan, and the existence at the very top.
In retrospect, this information was clearly incorrect.
Above the Di Tian, there is another "Lord," a being whom even the Di Tian must treat with utmost respect.
Huo Yuhao involuntarily lowered his voice and hurriedly asked cautiously, "Who... is this Lord?"
The Auspicious Beast shook its little head, the movement casual and natural, and answered matter-of-factly, "My Lord is indeed my Lord."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
He took a deep breath and asked again, "I'm asking what kind of Soul Beast your Lord is. Is he also Dragon Clan?"
Among all the Soul Beast, the Dragon Clan is undoubtedly the most powerful.
Huo Yuhao felt that the being whom the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian recognized as his Lord must also be Dragon Clan, perhaps even a true dragon.
A hint of confusion flashed in the Auspicious Beast's golden eyes. "I've never seen my Lord either."
Its voice also carried a hint of curiosity; having lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for so many years, it had indeed never seen that legendary Lord.
Judging from the Auspicious Beast's expression, Huo Yuhao knew it was telling the truth.
This only made him more curious about the identity of this "Lord".
After falling into the Lake of Life, Di Tian headed straight for the center of the lake.
The lake water parted automatically around him, as if it were sentient, and dared not block his path.
His figure moved through the emerald green lake water, like a black sword cleaving through layers of water curtains.
Beneath this Lake of Life, there is no silt, aquatic plants, or rocks found in ordinary lakes.
The place was so clean it seemed to have been meticulously maintained by some force. At this moment, at the end of Di Tian's line of sight, there was a huge Lotus Platform emitting a faint green light.
This Lotus Platform appears to be formed from a single piece of transparent crystal, crystal clear and without a single flaw.
A faint green halo flowed around the Lotus Platform, a Life God force so rich it almost solidified, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility to those who merely gazed upon it.
And on this Lotus Platform, a colossal dragon coiled.
The dragon's body is not particularly robust, but rather gives a sense of elegant fluidity.
Its body lines are soft and graceful, like a silver river flowing quietly on the Lotus Platform.
Its body was covered with a layer of silver scales, which were fine and smooth, as if they were formed from moonlight, and shimmered with a silvery light under the green light of the Lotus Platform.
Around it, countless orbs of light of various colors swirled.
These orbs of light varied in size and color, like countless tiny stars, encircling the dragon.
Each color represents an element.
These orbs of light are manifestations of various elements, the forms that appear when the power of elements is condensed to its extreme.
Water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space...
They hovered silently around the dragon, slowly rotating, like a miniature galaxy.
The silver dragon seemed to have fallen asleep, its eyes closed and its breathing long and slow.
These elemental properties fluctuate and pulsate with its breath, but the interval between these breaths is too long, perhaps only once every fifteen minutes.
Di Tian descended from the sky, his figure slowly sinking into the lake, finally landing directly in front of the Lotus Platform.
He bowed his head, his voice low and devout, echoing in the lake. "My Lord!"
"Di Tian, what brings you here?!"
The dragon still hadn't "awakened," its eyes remained tightly closed.
But at that moment, a clear, cold female voice rang out. The voice was neither loud nor soft, but it carried an undeniable authority.
The silver dragon beneath the Lake of Life is none other than the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.
In the battle of the Divine Realm, the Dragon God was split in two.
The Golden Dragon King was sealed in the Divine Realm, while the Silver Dragon King, severely injured, escaped to the Douluo Continent in the lower realm.
Dragging her broken body, she fled all the way to the Star Dou Great Forest, sank into the Lake of Life, and never left again.
For many years, she has been healing at the bottom of the Lake of Life.
It will take her a very long time, measured in tens of thousands of years, to heal that almost fatal wound.
She left all external affairs to Di Tian to handle.
Di Tian did not disappoint her expectations and handled everything in an orderly manner.
He handled the order of the Star Dou Great Forest, the survival of the Soul Beast Clan, and the balance with the human world perfectly, and rarely came here to disturb her.
Di Tian's sudden visit today must mean there's something he can't decide about.
