Farewell, Cage!

Like other Soul Beasts, Su Mo, as a Source Beast, possessed his own racial talent—Bloodline Inheritance.

As the name implied, Bloodline Inheritance was a talent used to pass down bloodlines. It allowed Su Mo's offspring to perfectly inherit the bloodline of his mate.

Put simply, he was a Ditto.

The Silver Dragon King had likely asked him to accompany her to the human world because she had taken a liking to this talent of his.

However, Su Mo could not understand why the Silver Dragon King wanted to go to the human world.

With the God Realm currently missing, the Silver Dragon King, a being comparable to a god, had no opponents at all.

Shouldn't she have led the Soul Beast army to shatter this cage and boldly proclaim the return of the Soul Beast race to humanity?

"I want to know why we aren't directly shattering this cage and showing humanity the Master's power."

Without giving it much thought, Su Mo "softly" voiced his doubts to Di Tian.

Although Su Mo spoke quietly, everyone present heard him clearly.

The lively atmosphere instantly fell silent.

Everyone, including Di Tian, subconsciously looked toward the Silver Dragon King.

However, Di Tian quickly came back to his senses and angrily rebuked Su Mo. "How dare you question the Master's decision? The Master is doing this..."

"Enough, Di Tian!" The Silver Dragon King waved at Di Tian, then swept her gaze over the other Ferocious Beasts. "Since he wants to know, there is no harm in telling him."

"Besides, he isn't the only one with such doubts."

When Bi Ji and the other Ferocious Beasts realized that the Silver Dragon King had seen through their thoughts, they guiltily lowered their heads, not daring to meet her eyes.

Su Mo's question was exactly what they, the Ferocious Beasts, had been holding back and wanting to ask.

However, intimidated by the power the Silver Dragon King had just displayed, no one had dared to step forward and question her plan.

Now that Su Mo had opened the discussion, the others finally became a little bolder.

Looking at the curious faces around her, the Silver Dragon King sighed helplessly. "The reason I will not lead you to directly end humanity's rule is because gods must not interfere in the mortal world."

"If I lead you to end humanity's rule today, then when the God Realm returns someday, the gods will do the same."

"By then, everything will return to square one."

"So if we wish to restore the glory of the Soul Beast race, we must proceed step by step."

After hearing the Silver Dragon King's explanation, Su Mo raised his brows in surprise. He had not expected anyone to actually believe such nonsense.

But seeing the Silver Dragon King's expression of utter resolve, he could not say anything more.

Whatever makes you happy!

"The Master is wise!!"

Coming back to his senses, Su Mo hurriedly flattered the Silver Dragon King, and the other Ferocious Beasts quickly joined in.

"The Master is wise!"

"The Master is wise!" ...

"There's no need for that! I don't blame you either!"

Listening to the Ferocious Beasts and Su Mo praise her, the Silver Dragon King blushed. Her massive dragon claw waved awkwardly in the air.

This Master of theirs seemed somewhat immature.

Su Mo had not expected the Silver Dragon King, who had just seemed like such a lofty ruler, to reveal a shy expression over such a simple compliment.

"Since none of you have any more questions, it is time for us to depart!"

As she spoke, the Silver Dragon King's enormous body radiated a dazzling light before transforming into a white sphere of light floating in the air.

Under everyone's gaze, the sphere slowly descended from the sky. A petite and adorable figure emerged from within.

In human form, the Silver Dragon King had fair skin, neat silver short hair, and large, watery eyes as clear and translucent as violet crystals.

Her chubby little cheeks looked as though water would squeeze out with the lightest pinch. She carried a faint, refreshing fragrance and looked like a delicate porcelain doll.

"Wait, this is the damn Silver Dragon King?"

Su Mo was completely dumbfounded when he saw the Silver Dragon King in her little girl form.

Although the white-haired, purple-eyed girl before him was adorable and perfectly suited Su Mo's tastes—

—having the ruler of the Soul Beasts transform into someone so childish was definitely not a good thing for the Soul Beasts, who had placed all their hopes on her.

Thinking back to the Silver Dragon King's inadvertently bashful behavior earlier, Su Mo had every reason to suspect that his Master was actually just a child who had not grown up yet.

That dignified appearance from before had most likely been an act.

Su Mo was not thinking that without reason.

Hadn't Kaguya from Naruto also been someone with immense power but an immature mindset?

"My name is Gu Yuena."

The Silver Dragon King, now in the form of a little girl, walked up to the still-dazed Su Mo and spoke in an old-fashioned tone.

In the past, Su Mo would definitely have laughed at the Silver Dragon King's attempt to act mature.

But now, Su Mo felt nothing but endless despair.

However, Su Mo soon realized that this was the best chance for him to escape.

As long as he stayed by the Silver Dragon King's side, even if Tang Hao killed him, Tang Hao would not dare remain in the same place for long.

That meant Su Mo had room to maneuver.

What Su Mo feared most was Tang Hao keeping his eyes fixed on him.

If Tang Hao kept watching him, then no matter how capable Su Mo was, he would never have the chance to grow.

Only by escaping Tang Hao's sight could he truly spread his wings.

With that in mind, Su Mo immediately nodded in agreement.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Su Mo directly gathered his Soul Power and prepared to transform into human form.

A white glow representing Soul Power continuously poured out from Su Mo's body.

Influenced by the white glow, the surrounding plants seemed to gain minds of their own, growing wildly as they greedily absorbed the Soul Power within it.

At the same time, Su Mo's body, enveloped in white light, began to differentiate like an embryo—first his head, then his limbs.

In just a few moments, Su Mo had completely transformed into a human.

"This is..."

Su Mo, now in human form, quickly walked to the nearly dried-up Lake of Life and carefully examined what he looked like in this life.

"As expected of me. I'm seriously handsome!"

Seeing that his reflection in the lake looked exactly like he had in his previous life, Su Mo gave himself a silent thumbs-up.

In his previous life, Su Mo had been a member of the Uchiha clan, so there was naturally no need to say anything about his appearance.

He had neat black short hair, black eyes that revealed determination in every glance, and fair, tender skin that seemed as though water would drip out with the slightest pinch.

Paired with a handsome yet adorably blank face that still retained a hint of baby fat, he made people want to hug him and give him a thorough squeezing.

But before Su Mo could admire his handsome face any longer, he felt a chill below his waist.

Looking down, Su Mo discovered that he was completely naked.

Having lived through three lives, Su Mo's old face immediately reddened, and he quickly covered his private parts.

"Bring him some clothes."

Gu Yuena, who had been watching Su Mo with great interest, ordered the Ferocious Beasts present.

Before the other Ferocious Beasts could react, Bi Ji already had a set of clothes in her hands that fit Su Mo perfectly.

Su Mo took the clothes Bi Ji handed him with a resentful expression and quickly put them on.

"Not bad!"

After looking Su Mo up and down, Gu Yuena nodded in satisfaction.

"Mo, is your talent ability still there?"

As soon as Su Mo finished getting dressed, Di Tian hurried over to ask with concern.

Upon hearing that, Gu Yuena also pricked up her ears.

"It is. It is."

Seeing everyone's concerned gazes, Su Mo replied in a resentful tone.

"That's good!" Di Tian grinned so widely that his smile nearly overflowed.

When Gu Yuena heard Su Mo confirm that his talent remained, she visibly let out a sigh of relief.

As for what Martial Soul Su Mo possessed after transforming into a human, no one cared at all.

"Di Tian, take the two of us to the human world!"

Since she had sealed her power, Gu Yuena, who was currently powerless, could only have Di Tian take her and Su Mo out of the Star Dou Forest.

"Yes, Master."

Having received Gu Yuena's order, Di Tian did not dare hesitate. With a wave of his hand, a dark and profound spatial vortex appeared before Su Mo and the others.

Even the Spirit Pagoda's most advanced equipment would not have been able to detect the spatial fluctuations from the vortex Di Tian had created with the Dragon God Claw.

"Let's go!"

After saying that, Gu Yuena took the lead and stepped inside.

Su Mo looked back reluctantly before quickly following her.

Farewell, cage!
