Soul Beasts Finding Godhood Was Harder Than Climbing to Heaven

Lin Yuan put one hand behind his back, looked at the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in front of him, and slowly said, "I'm here to choose Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for Ling Ling."

Upon hearing that they were searching for Soul Beast for Ye Lingling, Xiao Wu, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape all froze in place, hardly believing their ears.

Could it be...?

Does this guy want to kill them?

The Titan Giant Ape immediately blocked Xiao Wu's path, glaring fiercely at Lin Yuan, a cold glint flashing in its eyes.

What do you want to do?

Xiao Wu also looked sad, clearly understanding that her only fate was to become Ye Lingling's or Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

Ye Lingling also looked towards the teacher's seat, seemingly puzzled that Xiao Wu had become her friend, after all, they were already quite good friends.

Ye Lingling clearly couldn't accept the idea of Xiao Wu becoming her Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

Lin Yuan shrugged, looked at the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in front of him, and said calmly, "Don't worry, I haven't thought about taking action against you. After all, I haven't thought about it because of Brother Di Tian."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape all visibly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Lin Yuan would directly attack them.

Azure Dragon Consultation landed steadily on the ground, transforming into human form, and looked at the Soul Beast and Xiao Wu in front of him.

It should be noted that after Soul Beast Transformation, it will give up its Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast cultivation. Therefore, most Soul Beast do not want to give up their strength and will not choose to transform into human form.

However, if Soul Beast that has undergone human transformation can break through to level 70, it can truly become a human and may even be chosen by God-level Expert.

This is also the only way for Soul Beast to achieve immortality.

Unless they possess unimaginable power and can break the rule set by the Dragon God that Soul Beast cannot become gods.

After the Dragon God War, the God Realm Committee issued the rule that "Soul Beast cannot become gods." On one hand, the human God King wanted to maintain his power and prevent more powerful Soul Beast like the Dragon God from challenging his rule.

On the other hand, there is the fear of the unknown. The God Kings worry that after the Soul Beast become gods, they will not be able to fully control the world.

In addition, the prejudice of the human god-king also played a role, as they believed that Soul Beast were inferior beings and unworthy of enjoying the same status as humans.

The Dragon God was corrupted by the will of destruction because he attempted to elevate the Dragon God Realm to God Star, and almost destroyed the Divine Realm.

After regaining consciousness, he asked the Asura God to kill him and made a will stipulating that no Soul Beast in the human realm should ascend to godhood until his successor returned to the Divine Realm.

Because Soul Beast are inherently ferocious, without the Dragon God's suppression, they might cause another catastrophe.

Soul Beast lack an understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, and are generally born without high intelligence, making them unable to absorb innate energy, which restricts their development.

In terms of the path to godhood, most of the Beast God Deity perished, and it is very difficult for Soul Beast to become gods by inheriting the Deity. Moreover, their understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is flawed, and without the guidance of Deity, it is almost impossible for them to create their own Deity and enter the Divine Realm.

Therefore, only by becoming human can one truly break free from this constraint.

Lin Yuan said softly, "Ling Ling, Zhuqing, let me take you to the place where I used to live. I just don't know how it is now."

"Teacher, you actually lived here?"

Lin Yuan nodded. He had come to the Star Dou Star Dou Forest during his previous training and created a secluded bamboo forest there.

I wonder what's become of that place after all these years.

Xiao Wu pursed her immature lips and slowly said, "Can I go with you?"

Lin Yuan glanced at Xiao Wu, but did not refuse. After handing over the matter to Azure Dragon Consultation, he led Xiao Wu, Ye Lingling, and the others to fly away into the distance.

Hundreds of kilometers away from Star Lake, the area is no longer a dense forest.

Instead, there is a deep bamboo forest, like a richly colored painting, perfectly blending the vitality and energy of nature.

Sunlight filters through the dense bamboo leaves, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the ground, making one feel as if they are in a fairy tale world.

Deep in the bamboo forest, lush greenery abounds.

The bamboo groves, arranged at varying heights, resemble a green screen, giving people a sense of tranquility and mystery.

Lin Yuan gazed at the bamboo forest before him, a hint of reminiscence on his face. He thought back to when he first came here and worked hard to cultivate, which led to his current level of cultivation.

Ye Lingling felt as if she were back home, running happily through the bamboo forest. It seemed that she had never felt so relaxed and carefree in all these years.

Lin Yuan was also aware of this.

The Heaven Dou Empire is filled with endless cycles of deceit and treachery, which makes Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing feel heavy-hearted and even tired of that kind of life. Only such a pleasant landscape is suitable for their lives.

Ye Lingling took off her shoes, revealing her flawless white feet, and gently placed them in the cool lake water, feeling the small fish nibbling at her toes.

Lin Yuan sat down next to Ye Lingling, took the Wine Gourd from his waist, took a sip, and said softly, "After you finish dealing with the affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire, your master will lead you to cultivate here."

"Really?"

Ye Lingling immediately turned around and looked at the teacher in front of her, her star-like eyes sparkling.

When has your teacher ever lied to you?

Lin Yuan gently rubbed Ye Lingling's head. The two lay on the ground, gazing up at the azure sky, quietly enjoying the comfort of the breeze on their cheeks.

Ye Lingling nestled in Lin Yuan's arms like a little bird, resting her head on his shoulder, and said softly, "Teacher, when do you think... we can stay here forever?"

"We will definitely be able to do it within thirty years."

As long as Ye Lingling obtains the inheritance of her Goddess of Life, they will no longer need to interfere in the affairs of the Douluo Continent.

After all, the God Realm Committee clearly stipulates that no God-level Expert may interfere in the affairs of the Mortal Realm.

Ye Lingling gently rubbed her pretty face against Lin Yuan's chest, closed her eyes, and felt the beating of her teacher's heart. It seemed that with her teacher by her side, no matter how dangerous the road ahead might be, she would not have any complaints.

Lin Yuan lay on Ye Lingling's lap, closed his eyes, and planned to rest for a while before searching for other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Just then, Lin Yuan seemed to sense a special energy reverberating in the area, and then he turned his head slightly to look at the depths of the bamboo forest.
