Horse: I'm Not Interested in Immortality!

For soul beasts, daily life was actually rather boring.

Humans only lived for a hundred years, but every day of their lives was rich and varied. Soul beasts, on the other hand, could live for hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Living day after day was truly far too dull.

A famous Horse Beast God who had already become a god once said, "I have never pursued immortality. I am not interested in immortality, because my happiest days were when I was still a Thousand Year Soul Beast struggling to survive!"

"The longer you live, the more troubles you have!"

Xiong Jun deeply agreed with that!

Because he was very troubled!

Di Tian was too powerful, so powerful that no soul beast could defeat him.

So powerful that Xiong Jun still had to submit under Di Tian for hundreds of thousands of years.

What a despairing number for a soul beast.

And he was not the kind of soul beast who could tolerate playing second fiddle. Xiong Jun had his own ideals too!

To become the Beast God revered by all soul beasts!

"A true man born between heaven and earth—how could he remain beneath another for long!"

Seeing that Xiong Jun could still go mad, Wan Yao Wang exchanged a glance with Scarlet King, and the two soul beasts left just like that.

After all, for Xiong Jun, there seemed to be nothing to do each day besides eating and sleeping.

Unlike the two of them.

As the king of the Plant System, the former still had to tend to flowers and plants every day.

The latter had to learn how to raise children and properly serve the little ancestor, the Auspicious Beast.

Only Xiong Jun did not even need to care for his own clan. He merely needed to eat well, drink well, and sleep well.

As for going mad, once Di Tian unleashed a Dragon God Claw, he would naturally be beaten back to reality!

With one claw, Di Tian shattered Xiong Jun's dream of becoming the Beast God and lay down again.

Begin!

[The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament was about to begin. You had successfully been selected as candidates for Shrek Academy's Reserve Team, serving as substitutes for the officially selected competitors!]

[Through your unity, you, Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, Xiao Xiao, He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and Wang Chun'er ultimately claimed victory.]

[However, since there were only seven spots for substitutes, you needed to eliminate one person. While you were hesitating, Sea God Pavilion informed you that eight people would remain eight people.]

[You successfully became acquainted with the Main Team Members and joined the sacred organization dedicated to preserving peace across the continent—the Shrek Inspectorate. You then accompanied the team to resolve a very "simple" mission.]

[Clear out the bandits at the Star Luo Empire's border. After easily dealing with them, you unexpectedly discovered a group of Evil Soul Masters. To uphold peace and justice on the continent, you chose to deal with those Evil Soul Masters!]

[What should have been an effortless victory suddenly saw a Soul King rush out, shouting, "Who dares oppose me, the Death God Envoy? You will all die and become my Corpse Slaves!"]

[Accompanied by a violent explosion, Main Team Members Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng were blasted away on the spot. Chen Zifeng's right leg was directly blown apart, Gongyang Mo was mangled beyond recognition, half of Yao Haoxuan's body was completely destroyed, and Xi Xi was likewise reduced to a bloody mess. The seven great disciples of the Inner Court suffered injuries of varying severity, and one of them died on the spot!]

[Not only that, even with the Shrek Inspectorate's leader, Sea God Pavilion elder, and Rank 98 Super Douluo Xuan Zi leading the team, they still failed to stop the Soul King Death God Envoy from unleashing another corpse explosion. Fortunately, at the critical moment, a special power erupted from Huo Yuhao's body and stopped the Death God Envoy!]

Di Tian: Huh?

This was a human Super Douluo?

Some of Di Tian's anger dissipated.

If someone from Shrek Academy had been injured, or even if they had suffered devastating losses, he would certainly have applauded in delight!

But from Wang Dong's perspective, this was simply absurd!

A Soul King had nearly overturned all of Shrek Academy's elite forces.

Even with a teacher leading them, guarded by someone who could be considered one of the continent's top experts, problems had still arisen.

Though death and injury were normal in the soul master world, Xuan Zi had arrived afterward and still failed to stop the Soul King's second explosion.

Was this Super Douluo a little too weak?

Di Tian shook his head.

Interesting!

This was truly too interesting!

[Because the Main Team Members had suffered devastating losses, Shrek Academy decided not to send additional officially selected competitors. As substitute members, you would replace the Main Team Members in battle and defend Shrek Academy's glory of ten thousand years!]

[To the other academies, although you were Outer Court students of Shrek Academy and merely substitute members, you nevertheless repeatedly defeated your opponents in the preliminary rounds!]

[But at an Auction House, Huo Yuhao ignored your warnings and purchased the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife, infamous across the continent and ranked ninety-ninth on the Carving Knife Ranking.]

[Fortunately, Huo Yuhao fused with it immediately and revealed that it was not truly Spirit-Devouring, but a piece of Life Gold!]

Life Gold?

It was actually Life Gold!

Di Tian, who had silently watched the show and been so bored he was nearly falling asleep, sat upright the instant he saw the Life Gold. His eyes lit up!

This was one of the most supreme Heavenly Treasures!

It was a crystallization of highly condensed life energy from nature, containing immense and pure vitality. It could provide its holder with an almost inexhaustible supply of life energy, even heal grievous wounds, extend one's lifespan, and preserve one's life.

It could only be produced in places where the continent's life energy was at its densest!

And the massive piece of Life Gold beneath Life Lake was a treasure nurtured by the place where the Core of Nature of the Douluo Plane had once resided.

The Lord could now treat her injuries precisely because she possessed it.

Likewise, when soul beasts broke through the hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation, the injuries they suffered could quickly recover through Life Gold.

As for why Life Lake had once been the dwelling place of the Douluo Plane's Core of Nature—

It was naturally because a supreme treasure had once grown here: the Golden Tree!

It could bear the power of a plane's core!

Unfortunately, that shameless Tang San had dug it up before becoming a god!

Where did the Ancient Golden Tree that Shrek Academy now regarded as its treasure come from?

It had originally grown beside Life Lake and had been a Golden Tree!

It had also been the dwelling place of the Douluo Continent's Core of Nature, the place with the densest life energy in the entire Douluo Plane.

Unfortunately, that bastard Tang San had dug it up and turned it into Shrek Academy's treasure—the present-day Sea God Pavilion!

What Sea God Pavilion? It was nothing more than a counterfeit Life Lake!

Whenever Di Tian thought of this, he became so angry he wanted to cough up blood!

Fortunately, although the Golden Tree was gone, that massive piece of Life Gold remained!

Now that he had seen Life Gold again, how could Di Tian not be excited?

When it came to treasures involving life energy, the more, the better!

Though he did not lack it, his precious disciple did!

He had just taken a disciple and had not even given him a meeting gift yet!

The Lord's Life Gold was not easy to give away, but the piece he bought himself could be gifted!

Di Tian immediately swept his hand through space, and a Spirit Bone appeared in his hand.

Then he shouted, "Where is Wan Yao Wang?"
