Exert Pressure on the Three Great Plant Spirit Beasts: Become Partners, or Be Destroyed!

As the gray figure emerged behind Ye Linyuan, the Aromatic Silk Beauty's mocking laughter cut off abruptly.

What replaced it was unparalleled shock and terror.

"Impossible! Is this the power of a god?!"

"This isn't spiritual force... this is... Divine Sense?"

"How can he possess the power of a god? Could he, could he truly be a god's successor?"

The Three Great Plant Spirit Beasts trembled simultaneously, their spiritual fluctuations thrown into utter chaos.

Let alone them, even Du Bùsǐ was deeply shaken at this moment.

Though he had personally witnessed that gray stream burrowing into Ye Linyuan's body, feeling the aura of Divine Sense again still made his entire frame shudder.

Du Bùsǐ's heart surged with turbulent waves, his eyes burning with fervor: "Is this... that Evil God?"

The aura of Divine Sense enveloped the entire valley; every plant quivered and bowed low before Ye Linyuan.

The Aromatic Silk Beauty said incredulously, "You, you truly are a god's inheritor?"

Ye Linyuan's expression was calm, and he said nothing.

But a vast wave of Divine Sense automatically emanated from him: "Follow my inheritor, and you may break the shackles of the spirit beasts!"

The voice rolled like thunder, echoing endlessly through the canyon.

The Divine Sense pressure, heavy as a mountain, shook the souls of the Three Great Plant Spirit Beasts.

Du Bùsǐ was immensely excited, murmuring, "It truly is the guidance of a god..."

The Aromatic Silk Beauty's enormous flower trembled violently, both shocked and bewildered.

Break the shackles of spirit beasts?

The shackles this god spoke of—could they be the curse that spirit beasts could never become gods?

It couldn't help but ask, "May I ask which god you are?"

"And that shackle you mentioned just now, could it be..."

"Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed!" The vast Divine Sense wave spoke again, then sank back into silence.

The immense pressure of Divine Sense receded like a tide.

Ye Linyuan's expression remained calm and solemn, but inwardly he was laughing.

Before coming to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, he had already devised this plan.

The plant spirit beasts of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well were the ultimate cultivation amplifiers.

If he could convert them into spirit souls, his soul power growth rate would greatly increase, and his foundation would grow deeper.

But spirit soul conversion required the full cooperation of the spirit beasts; it couldn't be forced.

Therefore, Ye Linyuan had to find a way to convince these spirit beasts.

And the temptation of becoming a god was clearly the hardest to refuse!

The canyon fell into silence.

Electrolux's Divine Sense suppression just now had left these plant spirit beasts unable to recover for a long while.

After who knows how long, the Aromatic Silk Beauty finally suppressed the shock in its heart and spoke with respect: "Forgive me, inheritor of the god. I apologize for our rashness earlier."

Its magnificent flower swayed slightly, bending toward Ye Linyuan as if bowing.

Then, after a moment of hesitation, it couldn't hold back and asked, "Inheritor of the god, what exactly is this breaking of the spirit beast shackles that the god spoke of?"

"Spirit beasts cannot become gods—this is an iron law that all spirit beasts on Douluo Continent must obey."

"For hundreds of thousands of years, no spirit beast has ever broken it. You..."

Ye Linyuan smiled faintly: "Among the inheritance I received, there is a secret art called the Spirit Soul."

"This secret art can transform a spirit beast into a special life form, coexisting symbiotically with a soul master."

"If the soul master it is attached to can become a god, then the spirit beast attached to him can naturally become a god as well."

This wasn't Ye Linyuan painting a pie in the sky.

In the original story, Elder Electrolux's Spirit Soul Secret Art had already been proven successful.

Ye Linyuan believed that given some time, Elder Electrolux would surely be able to create spirit souls.

Infernal Delicate Apricot said incredulously, "Spirit souls? Symbiosis with a soul master? Such a miraculous secret art exists in this world?"

Ye Linyuan nodded slowly: "This secret art is a unique product of the god I inherited from. It's just that my current cultivation is still too low to use it for now."

"If you are willing, you can become my companions."

"If I can become a god in the future, you will naturally be able to come with me to the Divine Realm and break the curse that spirit beasts cannot become gods."

At this point, Ye Linyuan paused slightly, his tone turning cold: "However, you have already seen the god's inheritance just now."

"This matter is of great importance. If it were to leak, I would become a target for every scheming person on the continent."

"To ensure my safety, you now have only two choices."

"One: follow me and become my companions."

"Two: I destroy this place completely to prevent any information from leaking."

Ye Linyuan pointed behind him at Du Bùsǐ, the killing intent in his eyes growing denser. "The man beside me is named Du Bùsǐ. He is both my teacher and my guardian."

"His strength needs no further explanation from me."

"Now, you may choose."

"Will you become my companions, or will I silence every plant spirit beast here to eliminate future trouble?"

Ye Linyuan shot Du Bùsǐ a look.

Du Bùsǐ understood immediately, and his terrifying aura surged forth once more.

It seemed that if these plant spirit beasts uttered a single word of refusal, he would erupt completely and destroy the entire Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

Sensing the killing intent from Du Bùsǐ, the Aromatic Silk Beauty trembled and couldn't help but cry out in alarm. "No, you can't do that!"

"Even if we don't follow you, I can swear to you that we will never speak of what we saw today!"

"We have no enmity with you. How can you slaughter so many living beings just to keep a secret? Don't you think that's too cruel?"

Ye Linyuan laughed at once.

"Youyou, have you forgotten what you did just now?"

"To keep your own secrets, you killed every stranger who barged in. Were those people any less innocent?"

"Why is it that when the same thing happens to you, it suddenly becomes cruel?"

The Aromatic Silk Beauty was left speechless.

The Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass also fell silent.

Ye Linyuan pressed on. "I'll give you one minute to decide."

"After that minute, life or death is your own choice."

"But I'll say this plainly: if you choose to become my companions, you must sever all ties with the Clear Sky Sect and Tang San."

"If you waver or betray me in secret, I will destroy the entire Ice Fire Yin Yang Well!"

"One, two, three..."

The count, like a death sentence, began to echo through the valley.

Ye Linyuan's gaze was deep, his expression resolute.

If he was to pursue godhood, he would inevitably clash with Tang San.

If these plant spirit beasts could not serve him, why leave them for Huo Yuhao?

Better to destroy them completely and eliminate the threat.

In his game of chess with Tang San, there was no room for soft-heartedness.

Hearing Ye Linyuan start counting, the three great plant spirit beasts—the Aromatic Silk Beauty among them—immediately tensed up, secretly communicating through their mental strength to discuss a plan.

"...Fifty-six, fifty-seven, fifty-eight."

Just as the countdown was about to end.

They finally made their decision.

The three great plant spirit beasts spoke in unison, their voices urgent. "We are willing to become your companions and help you ascend to godhood!"
