The Number One Divine Weapon Ranking List Revealed! Gu Yuena Recruits Neuvillette!

Di Tian suddenly raised his head, his golden pupils filled with astonishment.

"My Lord?!"

"This... this must not happen!"

"Neuvillette's allegiance is unclear, and Skywater City is currently a den of tigers and wolves. You carry the heavy burden of the revival of the Soul Beasts; how can you easily put yourself in danger?"

"If that human were to act against you..."

"..."

Gu Yuena waved her hand, cutting off Di Tian's attempt to dissuade her.

She was not angry, but her gaze grew even more profound.

"It is precisely because his allegiance is unclear that I must make contact with him."

"Di Tian, have you still not seen it clearly?"

Gu Yuena pointed toward the sky.

"The Asura God has always viewed us as a thorn in his side; those hypocrites in the God Realm would love nothing more than to wipe us out completely."

"With our current strength alone, the odds of successfully counterattacking the God Realm are less than thirty percent."

"But if..."

The corners of Gu Yuena's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile that was both incredibly charming and full of calculation.

"What if we could obtain the support of that Skywater City Lord?"

"He can resonate with the water element to such an extent that he can easily rewrite the rules."

"Such a person, or perhaps a god, would absolutely not be a lackey for those fellows in the God Realm."

"Furthermore, judging by the fact that he took in Xue Di, he does not harbor that deep-rooted prejudice against Soul Beasts."

"As long as we can win him over, or even just keep him neutral, the Asura God will surely die!"

These words were logical and struck straight to the heart of the matter.

Di Tian fell silent.

As the Beast God who had lived for eight hundred thousand years, he naturally possessed immense wisdom.

The Lord was right.

The power displayed by that Neuvillette was indeed enough to change the entire chessboard.

However...

For the Lord to go in person, the risk was simply too great.

"My Lord, your safety is above all else."

Di Tian said in a deep voice, his tone firm.

"It would be better to let your subordinate go."

"I am willing to go to Skywater City in your stead to test the waters."

Gu Yuena looked at Di Tian, a flicker of contemplation in her eyes.

She had originally intended to go herself.

But on second thought.

As the Lord of Soul Beasts, if she were to just show up uninvited, it might seem a bit beneath her status, and she might even be looked down upon by the other party.

Moreover, if Neuvillette truly had a strange temperament and they came to blows over a disagreement, her getting injured would be a massive blow to the Soul Beast clan.

Having someone go ahead to scout the path was indeed the more prudent choice.

"Very well."

Gu Yuena nodded.

"You are the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, and your strength is already at the pinnacle of the continent. I can rest easy with you going."

Hearing the Lord's agreement, Di Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up, black mist swirling around his body as a terrifying dragon pressure faintly radiated outward.

"Rest assured, my Lord!"

"I shall head to Skywater City at once!"

"If that human is sensible, so be it; but if he dares to show any disrespect to you, I will make him taste the power of the Dragon God Claw!"

With that, Di Tian prepared to tear through space and depart.

"Stop."

Gu Yuena suddenly spoke up to call him back.

Di Tian's figure paused, and he turned back in confusion.

"Does my Lord have any further instructions?"

Gu Yuena looked Di Tian up and down, her brows knitting slightly.

Such a murderous aura.

Such an expression, as if he were going to wipe out an entire family.

How could this possibly be a visit?

This was clearly a challenge to a fight!

"Di Tian."

Gu Yuena sighed and walked up to Di Tian.

"You are not going there to fight."

"You are going to invite someone."

"To invite someone, you must look the part."

Di Tian was stunned.

"Look the part?"

Gu Yuena withdrew her hand, her expression turning exceptionally serious.

"Politeness."

"Do you understand?"

As soon as these two words were spoken, Chi Wang and Xiong Jun, standing nearby, couldn't help but shrink their necks.

In the world of Soul Beasts, the belief is in the survival of the fittest, the bloody law of the jungle.

Whoever has the biggest fist is the one who is right.

Politeness?

What kind of thing is that?

Is it edible?

Di Tian's expression also became incredibly colorful.

It was as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a ten-thousand-year Wind Baboon.

"My... my Lord?"

"Are you saying that you want me to be... polite to that human?"

"And to be courteous and respectful?"

"..."

Gu Yuena nodded, her eyes showing no sign that she was joking.

"That is correct."

"Put away that murderous aura of yours."

"When you arrive at the gates of Skywater City, you must announce yourself first; you are not allowed to barge in."

"When you see Neuvillette, you must bow, do not speak too loudly, and do not roar at every turn."

"You must demonstrate our sincerity."

"Remember, this is an order."

Di Tian felt his head buzzing.

To think that he, the dignified Beast God.

The head of the continent's ten great fierce beasts.

Since when did humans not either wet their pants or kneel and beg for mercy upon seeing him?

Even when facing a Limit Douluo of the past, he would look down on them with his nose in the air.

And now.

He was actually being asked to be polite to a human?

He had to announce himself?

He had to bow?

This was more painful than killing him!

"This..."

Di Tian opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but swallowed his words when he met Gu Yuena's unquestionable purple eyes.

That was the order of his Lord.

That was the future of the Soul Beast clan.

Di Tian took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the awkwardness in his heart.

"Yes."

"Your subordinate... obeys."

This response was filled with grievance and helplessness.

Gu Yuena seemed to notice Di Tian's reluctance, and her tone softened slightly.

"Di Tian, do not feel aggrieved."

"That Neuvillette has been able to appear on the Golden Ranking List multiple times."

"His strength is very likely on the same level as mine."

"Perhaps, even stronger."

"Maintaining basic respect for the strong is nothing to be ashamed of."

Upon hearing "on the same level as the Master," Di Tian's expression finally turned solemn.

Though he was arrogant, he was not stupid.

An existence capable of earning such an evaluation from the Master was indeed worthy of him setting aside his pride.

"This subordinate understands."

Di Tian bowed once more.

This time, his movements were much more standard, and the tyrannical aura on his body was completely retracted.

He truly looked like a butler who, while imposing, was also refined and courteous.

"Go."

Gu Yuena waved her hand.

Di Tian said no more; his figure flickered, transforming into a streak of black light that vanished silently into the depths of the forest.

Watching the direction in which Di Tian departed, Gu Yuena sat back down upon the throne crafted from ten-thousand-year-old agarwood.

Her gaze turned once again toward the Golden Ranking List in the firmament.

There, new changes were taking place.

Above the firmament.

The golden light screen did not pause due to the ripples in the mortal world.

The reward belonging to the top of the list finally descended amidst the gaze of the masses.

There was no warning.

A massive azure pillar of light, vast enough to cover the entire continent, descended straight from the Sky Screen, falling precisely toward Skywater City in the Far North.

Within that pillar of light, not only was there contained vast divine power, but countless ancient runes danced within it as well.

All the water elements across the entire continent cheered and leaped for joy at this moment.
