It's decided, it's you!

"Little bug, get out here!"

Feng Yan arrived above Lake of Life and shouted down toward the bottom of the lake.

Di Tian really had no honor. He'd actually run away while Feng Yan was chasing Little Scumbag.

Feng Yan had spared Di Tian not out of kindness, but because he needed the Beast God's help with something.

Beneath Lake of Life...

The Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, led by Di Tian, were trembling with fear, especially King of Ten Thousand Demons.

"Di Tian, how about you go out there after all..."

King of Ten Thousand Demons' bark-like, wrinkled face was full of terror. "My true form is a Demon Eye Magic Tree. I fear fire most of all... especially the God of Fire's flames..."

Di Tian's face was ashen. Of course he knew who was outside.

He'd just gathered the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts to discuss what to do, and now this calamity had come looking for him.

What could he do?

Go out?

"Hmph! If you ask me, Di Tian, you've been a pretty poor Beast God."

A muscular man about three meters tall, with dark golden skin, spoke disdainfully.

"He's the God of Fire, but aren't you the Beast God? Why should you avoid his edge?"

At that, Di Tian narrowed his eyes and looked at the muscular man. "Xiong Jun, drop the act. Don't think I don't know what you're plotting."

His voice echoed through the lakebed, carrying an unquestionable authority.

"If you want to be the Beast God, you'd better have the strength to back it up!"

Seeing his plan fall through, Xiong Jun was about to undermine Di Tian's authority when a delicate voice cut in.

"That's enough!"

Bi Ji stood on a boulder at the bottom of the lake. "Do you have any idea what time it is? Can you please stop arguing?"

Xiong Jun snorted and turned his face away.

Di Tian swallowed his anger at wanting to slaughter the bear, then looked up toward the surface of the lake.

A figure hovered in midair. He simply stood there without releasing any pressure.

"I'll count to three. If you don't come out, I'll burn down the entire Star Dou Great Forest."

Feng Yan's voice rang out from above again, cutting through the water and landing clearly in every Ferocious Beast's mind.

"One..."

"Di Tian! Get out there! He's going to burn down our last home!"

"Di Tian, don't drag us into this! He came for you, not us!"

The other Ferocious Beasts all looked at Di Tian, their eyes filled with fear and urgency.

They didn't want to die, and they didn't want their home sacrificed because Di Tian insisted on saving face.

"Two..."

Seeing this, Di Tian knew he had to make a decision.

How ironic!

He'd mocked that god for being good for nothing just a little while ago, and now he'd fallen into the same situation himself.

"Di Tian, you'll be fine. This God of Fire has no intention of killing you."

A voice sounded in his mind.

"The Master..."

Di Tian murmured inwardly. Then, without another moment's hesitation, he flew upward.

"Little bug, finally decided to come out?"

Feng Yan looked at the black-robed figure before him and spoke calmly.

"God of Fire, what else do you want?"

Di Tian no longer felt afraid.

If the Master said he'd be fine, then he would be fine.

Feng Yan said, "I just want to ask you for a little help."

Help?

A god needed help from a Soul Beast who wasn't even a god?

And besides...

Was this how you asked for help—by beating your way to someone's doorstep?

"Relax... it'll be a piece of cake for you."

Feng Yan didn't make things too difficult for Di Tian. Even as a god, he had his principles.

He just wanted Di Tian to tell him the exact locations of all female Soul Beasts with cultivation bases of at least a hundred thousand years—preferably the kind that were born deserving of death.

Feng Yan always kept his word.

He'd said he would reincarnate Tang San as a female Soul Beast and have him interact with Dai Yuhao in a fateful way, so he had to follow through.

And he had to choose carefully. Tang San was his dear third brother, after all!

He couldn't just pick any female Soul Beast and make do.

"Give me the exact locations of every Soul Beast you know with a cultivation base of at least a hundred thousand years."

"Remember, they must all be female."

To keep Di Tian from trying to fool him, Feng Yan made a point of emphasizing that they had to be female.

A hundred thousand years?

Female?

Exact locations?

A First-Level God had come to the Star Dou Great Forest, cornered the Beast God at his own doorstep, and demanded the locations of every hundred-thousand-year female Soul Beast.

No matter how you looked at it, something felt off.

Gods didn't need Soul Rings, either!

Could it be...

As Di Tian's imagination ran wild, Feng Yan cut him off.

"You don't need to know why."

Feng Yan could see his confusion, but didn't explain. He continued, "You only need to know that I'll leave once I get what I want."

Di Tian gritted his teeth. He knew he had no choice.

All he could do was follow Feng Yan's instructions and get him to leave as quickly as possible.

"Follow me."

Di Tian turned and flew into the distance.

Feng Yan followed, unhurried.

"Here."

Di Tian landed in front of a valley.

The valley was small, surrounded by mountains, with a stream running through its bottom.

The most eye-catching sight was a Soul Beast lying on a boulder by the stream.

It was a horse-like Soul Beast with a white-gold body and a single horn on its head.

"Star Radiance Unicorn, one hundred and ten thousand years old, female. She's very close to the light and has no hostility toward humans."

Feng Yan glanced at the Star Radiance Unicorn and said, "Too beautiful, too kind. No good."

Di Tian was taken aback. "Beautiful and kind are no good either?"

Feng Yan shook his head. "I'm looking for one that's deserving of death, not such a radiant Soul Beast. Find another."

Star Radiance Unicorn?

That name alone sounded like it belonged to the most wholesome Soul Beast imaginable.

What a joke.

Could Little Scumbag, evil from birth, really be reincarnated as such a righteous Soul Beast?

Di Tian suppressed his churning emotions, turned around, and flew in another direction.

The second location was a swamp.

The swamp was vast, stretching beyond sight. A layer of pale green mist floated over the water, and the air reeked of decay.

At the center of the swamp stood a dead tree, with a giant python coiled around its trunk.

"Dark Pattern Demon Python, one hundred and thirty thousand years old, female. She's an evil ambusher."

Feng Yan stared at the giant python for three seconds. "Too ugly, and not evil enough. No good."

Di Tian's mouth twitched. "God of Fire, what exactly are you looking for?"

Feng Yan's voice turned a little more serious. "Not too beautiful, not too ugly, and deserving of death..."

"There's one more place. It should suit your taste." Di Tian turned and flew off in another direction.

The third location was a dark forest. The trees were tall and dense, their branches and leaves blotting out the sky and blocking almost all the sunlight.

"Come out,"

Di Tian said coldly.

Rustling sounds came from inside the tree hollow. Then a giant spider crawled out.

It was enormous, its body covered in black carapace, with eight slender legs like spears.

On its underside, white markings formed a hideous human face.

"Man Faced Spider Emperor, exactly one hundred thousand years old, female. She's known as the Evil Slayer, so she should meet your criteria for deserving death."

Whoa!

A golden treasure!!!

Little Scumbag, you've finally found your reincarnation candidate!!!

Feng Yan was very pleased with the Man Faced Spider Emperor before him.

Though he didn't know how she'd managed to escape Little Scumbag's Jianghu Assassination Order.

But since they'd crossed paths, it meant she was fated to meet Little Scumbag.

A Soul Beast like this was the perfect reincarnation candidate for Little Scumbag, who was evil from birth!

You're the one!

Man Faced Spider Emperor!!!
