Become a God? Forget Your Roots!

Di Tian called, and Youyou arrived.

When The Lord had business, she came at his beck and call.

After all, he was The Lord.

She had to answer his summons!

Wan Yao Wang appeared again, filled with resentment, like a mistreated young wife.

In the past few days, the errands Di Tian had assigned him could have filled several thousand years.

Did Di Tian really treat him like a runner?

No matter how much he complained inwardly, he still had to remain respectful on the surface.

As a soul beast, one had to understand the ways of the world!

"Di Tian, what do you need?"

Di Tian casually handed a Spirit Bone to Wan Yao Wang and instructed, "Go to the Star Luo Empire and find a carving knife ranked ninety-ninth at a human Auction House—the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife. Buy it and bring it back."

Wan Yao Wang fell silent.

Buy it?

What did buying even mean to soul beasts?

If they wanted something, didn't they just take it?

Whoever was stronger owned it!

Di Tian frowned slightly. "Wan Yao Wang, though we are soul beasts, we must still be reasonable. One Spirit Bone is enough to buy it. Do not cause unnecessary conflict. Just buy it and bring it back!"

After all, Spirit Bones were the one thing Di Tian lacked least!

The Star Dou Great Forest had plenty buried within it.

Some clever soul beasts that had developed brains had long since begun secretly collecting Spirit Bones others had discarded, then quietly selling them to humans in exchange for what they needed.

Do not assume all soul beasts were fools.

Especially soul beasts with Mental Attributes—they were each craftier than humans!

How were the soul beasts of the Douluo Plane born?

After The Lord, the Silver Dragon King, fell asleep, her aura leaked out and affected the Douluo Continent plane, causing mutations to appear.

It was the same principle as the dragon transformation caused by Heavenly Dragon Star coming into contact with the Dragon Graveyard.

All manner of soul beasts emerged in great numbers.

At that time, it was the era when soul beasts ruled supreme. Humans were extremely weak, and the profession of soul masters had yet to appear.

Some brutal soul beasts treated humans as food, while others preferred living among humans and protecting them, earning the honored title of guardian beasts.

But later, soul masters appeared and gradually became incomparably powerful, strong enough to contend with soul beasts.

Guardian beasts?

They were merely Spirit Rings for the strong!

Thus, no soul beasts ever dealt with humans again.

Moreover, every soul beast that reached a hundred-thousand-year cultivation had its own pursuit: becoming even stronger. They gradually lost all interest in living or socializing.

For example, when Di Tian and the others had Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, a single cultivation session lasted tens of thousands of years!

Wan Yao Wang remained silent, but ultimately accepted the Spirit Bone from Di Tian and vanished again.

Clearly, he had gone to carry out Di Tian's orders.

Di Tian nodded in satisfaction. This was the benefit of having subordinates.

[You continuously overcame powerful enemies and successfully defended Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year honor!]

[With your martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, and Huo Yuhao's martial soul, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, you unleashed a new Martial Soul Fusion Skill once more: "Blazing in Extreme Frost—Hammer of the Heavenly Emperor!" You successfully shattered Princess Jiujiu of the Star Luo Team's Star Guardian and advanced to the finals!]

[In the final battle against Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, through your martial soul, the Light Goddess Butterfly, and Huo Yuhao's martial soul, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, you once again unleashed a new Martial Soul Fusion Skill: "Solo Dance in the Frost, Light's Raiment"! You defeated Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Red Dust Attachment, and successfully claimed the championship!]

[You ultimately defended Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year honor and became famous across the continent!]

Light's Raiment?

Di Tian muttered to himself.

This should have been the form the Auspicious Beast would have taken after transforming, if he had not interfered.

After all, when the Auspicious Beast wanted to transform into a human, she came into contact with Huo Yuhao and became the form he envisioned in his heart.

Di Tian glanced at the fawning Golden Hawksbill Turtle and felt a slight headache.

Could this Golden Hawksbill Turtle really replace the Auspicious Beast as "Wang Dong'er"?

Rather than becoming Huo Yuhao's dream goddess, would he turn into a dream lunatic instead?

Di Tian was skeptical.

But now, there was no better soul beast candidate than the Golden Hawksbill Turtle to replace the Auspicious Beast as "Wang Qiu'er."

After giving it some thought, Di Tian felt he could make a few adjustments. He said, "Later, I will teach you a Transformation Technique. After that, I will have some people teach you human etiquette."

Di Tian could assume a human form, but he had not rebuilt himself into a human. It was merely a technique.

Moreover, this technique was not something an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could accomplish.

"A Transformation Technique?"

"Learn? Learn what?"

"Human etiquette?"

The Golden Hawksbill Turtle was dumbfounded. What exactly did Di Tian want him to do?

Had Di Tian not said he only wanted him to seduce a man?

Though he was a male turtle, he was no single turtle. He was a hundred-thousand-year Golden Hawksbill Turtle who had been in countless relationships.

Even if this time his target was a human—and a boy at that—a mere human boy would still be easy to handle!

"This turtle only needs a few little tricks to make him utterly infatuated!"

"There's no need to learn anything, right~?"

The Golden Hawksbill Turtle tried to bargain.

But Di Tian was determined to correct his temperament. He had to turn this male turtle, who was about to become a crazy goddess, into a true goddess!

Otherwise, how would he become a god alongside Huo Yuhao in the future?

Even if he became a god, looking at his current state, he would just be an ungrateful turtle!

It would be terrible if he truly ended up raising an ungrateful turtle.

"Hm?"

That single word instantly scared the Golden Hawksbill Turtle stiff. He withdrew his head into his shell and helplessly accepted.

A turtle under another's roof had no choice but to lower its head!

Di Tian, once this old turtle becomes a god, the first thing I'll do is take back everything I lost!

Become a god?

Forget your roots!

In the Far North, Gu Yu and the Auspicious Beast hugged each other as they lay before the window. No matter how fiercely the wind and snow raged outside, they slept on.

Gu Yu finally could not endure any longer.

This was too absurd!

Was she really supposed to shut herself in a tiny house and cultivate for ten thousand years? Wouldn't that drive her mad?

The Auspicious Beast felt the same. She longed for the freedom she had once known in the Star Dou Great Forest. Cultivate?

Cultivate her ass!

She could grow stronger even while sleeping. It was as if she had an automatic cultivation cheat built into her. As long as she lived long enough, she would naturally become the strongest.

"Maybe while I'm still growing stronger, Di Tian will already be in the ground!"

If one hundred thousand years was not enough, then she would wait a million years!

By then, Di Tian should be dead, right?

Once the grass on Di Tian's grave grew tall, the position of Lord of Soul Beasts would naturally fall to her. So why did she need to struggle?

The Auspicious Beast gave up too.

"How about... we go out and play?"

No matter how severe the blizzard outside was, though it might be uncomfortable, it would not freeze them to death.

Besides, with the Power of Luck from the Far North blessing her, her originally golden fur had gradually begun to show hints of blue and white.

She truly had adapted to local customs.

Gu Yu sighed. "No. Don't you want to take revenge on Di Tian?"

The Auspicious Beast drooped her head. "But I want to play!"

"Playing saps your ambition, Auspicious Beast! You are the Auspicious Beast revered by soul beasts. How can you be so decadent?"

"No sleeping. Get up and start cultivating again!"

The Auspicious Beast slapped a paw down. "No, I don't want to!"

"Damn it, Gu Yu, you can't control me!"
