Di Tian Breaks Through, Submits in Servitude

"This... it is naturally more appropriate to remain by your side."

Di Tian hesitated for a moment before speaking.

This was an indisputable fact; originally, after the Master took on human form and lost her memories, it was estimated that it would take about three years for her to recover.

Now, only a year or so had passed, and the Master had fully recovered her memories and been found by them; this was absolutely due to her being by Tang Heng's side.

"But we took the Master away to seek revenge on humanity and revitalize the Soul Beasts..."

"Revitalize the Soul Beasts? With just the few of you?"

Tang Heng gave a cold laugh, and the various Fierce Beasts lowered their heads, wanting to retort but finding no words to do so.

In just a mere ten thousand years, they had been forced to abandon almost the entire Star Dou Great Forest, and the population of the land-based Soul Beast clans had plummeted to less than one-thousandth of what it was ten thousand years ago.

Yet, as the guardians of the Soul Beasts, they were struggling to contend with humanity.

They saw no hope at all, which was why they pinned their aspirations on the Silver Dragon King, a deity who transcended humanity.

"The wheels of history will ruthlessly crush everyone; even the Supreme God Kings have the possibility of falling over the long passage of time."

"In this life, as a human, I understand the superiority of the human species over Soul Beasts. Being born with intelligence is something Soul Beasts cannot compare to, and on top of that, they have built a true civilization."

"And what of the Soul Beasts? For countless years, they have continued to live by drinking blood and eating raw meat, a life of the weak falling prey to the strong."

Tang Heng looked at Di Tian, his expression indifferent: "Ten thousand years ago, your cultivation was already at the peak of this world, with an eight-hundred-ninety-thousand-year Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core. Even the top experts among humans, the Limit Douluos, could never defeat you."

"But what about now? Do you still have the confidence to say you can one hundred percent defeat one or several Limit Douluos with four-word Battle Armor?"

Di Tian remained silent.

He might be able to defeat a Limit Douluo with four-word Battle Armor by relying on the Dragon God Claw.

But that was under the premise of a fair 1v1 duel.

The strength of the human side now completely surpassed that of the Soul Beasts; this was a fact he had to admit.

If they were to force a war, his group wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps in the humans' teeth.

"This is only temporary. With the progress and development of human technology, they will never stop their footsteps on the small Douluo Planet."

"By then, there will be five-word Battle Armor, six-word Battle Armor, and even super-god-level mechas, and space battleships with even greater power."

Tang Heng said, enunciating each word clearly: "Even if you, Di Tian, become a god by that time, I believe humanity will definitely possess the qualifications to slay gods."

"This..." Di Tian wanted to speak but stopped.

Xiong Jun had the most explosive temper and said indignantly: "Are we just to watch as humans wipe us out? With the God Realm absent, this is the perfect time for us to counterattack."

Tang Heng shook his head and continued to bluff:

"Indeed, with the God Realm empty and Douluo Planet left unguarded, it does seem like the best time."

"But with just you lot, even if that black curtain in the sky is temporarily gone, how could you possibly revitalize the Soul Beasts?"

The Fierce Beasts looked at each other, and even Di Tian could likely not provide an answer.

"I beg the Venerable One to enlighten us and point us toward a clear path."

Di Tian knelt down directly, his face pressed to the ground, appearing extremely sincere.

Seeing this scene, Tang Heng felt quite a sigh in his heart.

Di Tian was originally the cream of the crop among Soul Beasts, known as the Beast God, possessing absolute power over ten thousand years ago. Yet, to preserve the big picture and for the sake of the Silver Dragon King, the Star Dou Great Forest where he had lived for countless years had been invaded until only the core area remained.

He watched his kin being captured one by one, and he himself was challenged and humiliated by human experts time and time again.

Yet he still endured the humiliation and remained steadfast in the Star Dou Great Forest.

If it weren't for the Silver Dragon King and the responsibility of being the 'Beast God,' Di Tian could have walked away entirely, hidden his name, and absolutely lived a long and peaceful life.

In this world, no one was willing to be an enemy of a Beast God standing at the pinnacle.

In fact, given Di Tian's pride, if there were no responsibilities or constraints, Tang Heng believed he would have long since exploded at humanity.

But he endured it just like that, and when he was about to succeed at the final moment in the original story, his own Master said she was Tang Wulin's wife rather than the Master of all Soul Beasts.

If he put himself in those shoes, he would have exploded on the spot.

It was just a pity that in the end, this Beast God was still brainwashed by the Tang Buddha, and ten thousand years later, he became a dog for the Third Brother's family.

How pathetic! How lamentable!

"If you want to revitalize the Soul Beasts, just wait for me to become a god. Within ten years, I will surely ascend to the position of Supreme God King. At that time, I will open up a new plane for the Soul Beast clan, completely separating them from humanity from then on."

"If you want to take revenge on humanity, then infiltrate the Spirit Pagoda. This force, which controls the advancement path of human soul masters, is the root of the current soul master world."

Di Tian raised his head, and countless images from the past ten thousand years flashed through his mind.

Those young ones who, after enduring hardships to become Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, were tragically killed by humans just for their cultivation.

The Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago had brought him a glimmer of hope, but he had hurriedly ascended to the God Realm, and the Spirit Pagoda he left behind had completely abandoned its original intention.

It should have been a bridge between humans and Soul Beasts, yet it became the primary culprit leading to the current near-extinction of Soul Beasts.

"I... I choose to revitalize the Soul Beasts..."

Hearing this, Tang Heng sighed faintly.

The Dragon God is the god of the dragon race, while the Beast God is the god of all soul beasts.

Tang Heng ultimately could not bear it, and he revealed the plan that was supposed to proceed normally in the original work to Di Tian.

"Many thanks to Your Excellency for guiding the way forward for us!"

When Di Tian spoke these words, he felt a sense of relief wash over him.

Over these years, he had shouldered far too much.

Now that he felt as light as a swallow, he found himself somewhat unaccustomed to the feeling.

"I will have the Silver Dragon King split into two; Na'er will stay to accompany me, and as for the other part, you may proceed with the plan." (Gu Yue is one of the heroines, rest assured, everyone.)

Tang Heng suddenly paused, looked at Di Tian, and spoke:

"Di Tian, you are still suppressing your cultivation, aren't you?"

"Yes. Douluo Planet does not allow us soul beasts to become gods. Every hundred thousand years, we must face a heavenly tribulation. I have been suppressing mine at eight hundred and ninety thousand years for a long time now."

Tang Heng nodded slightly and said:

"Break through, then. Right here. There is no need for any suppression."

"This plane is My divine kingdom, and its laws transcend those of the mere Douluo plane. You need not worry about the influence of the heavenly tribulation."

Di Tian did not hesitate in the slightest; he shook his body and transformed into a massive black dragon, his eyes like golden pupils that would never be extinguished.

The other Fierce Beasts all tilted their heads, watching every move Di Tian made.

They, too, were troubled by the heavenly tribulation.

If Di Tian could break through in this realm, then they naturally could as well.

Di Tian spiraled upward, his cultivation erupting without any suppression. His age quickly broke through the shackles of the nine-hundred-thousand-year mark and then began to soar.

In the end, it stopped at nine hundred and ninety thousand years.

The terrifying heavenly tribulation they had expected did not descend, and the Fierce Beasts let out long sighs of relief.

Di Tian transformed back into his human form, his expression filled with excitement.

He could have actually attempted to break through to the million-year level just now, which should have allowed him to become a god directly.

Because during the breakthrough, he had not sensed the feeling of being suppressed by the laws as he would on Douluo Planet. It had long been a consensus that soul beasts were not allowed to become gods—a rule established by the Dragon God back then.

However, considering that His Excellency was currently too weak to fully bring the laws of this realm into Douluo Planet, he would be rejected by the plane's consciousness upon returning to Douluo Planet after becoming a god.

Having just become a god with a shallow foundation, he estimated he would be unable to walk freely on Douluo Continent for a short time, which would hinder the advancement of His Excellency's plans.

It was for this reason that Di Tian suppressed his cultivation at the nine-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year level, resisting the temptation of godhood.

"We shall swear our lives to the loyalty of Your Excellency!"
