Inside the Containment World.
Not long after Lin Yue brought Ah Yin inside, she took the initiative and asked him for help.
She needed a passionate release to clear away the complicated emotions in her heart.
Lashing out at Tang Hao hadn't made her feel much better, because her son had long since been possessed.
And breaking things off with Tang Hao had left her feeling terribly upset, too.
There was no helping it. She had loved Tang Hao so deeply before, she'd even been willing to sacrifice herself for him.
Lin Yue knew how miserable Ah Yin felt, so he did everything he could to help her release her pent-up emotions and relax completely.
After leaving Ah Yin thoroughly defeated and fast asleep, Lin Yue was exhausted, too.
"No, I have to improve my constitution as soon as possible. There are still so many beauties waiting for me in the Douluo World. I can't do without a strong body."
Thinking this, Lin Yue immediately recalled the Immortal Herbs that could strengthen his constitution and even transform his Martial Soul.
The reason he hadn't absorbed any Immortal Herbs yet was that he knew they couldn't be consumed carelessly.
Of the original Douluo series, he knew only the first installment best. The further the story went, the less he knew.
He didn't know whether the rules for absorbing Immortal Herbs had changed later on, but on this timeline, one couldn't just consume them indiscriminately.
So naturally, the two herbs he had his eye on were the Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs. One on its own might not strengthen his constitution as much as the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, but taking both together would have a far greater effect.
After leaving Ah Yin in the Containment Shelter, Lin Yue flew swiftly toward Sunset Forest alone.
Although he already had the Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs, it would be better to absorb them at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
He could move around inside the Containment Shelter, but his body was too slow there. It was much faster to fly in person.
"They're gone..."
"Not a single Soul Beast is left..."
"This can't be... I don't believe it..."
"Ahhh... I just reached level twenty! I haven't even had the chance to absorb my Second Soul Ring..."
"Me too! Boohoo, are we going to be stuck at the Soul Master level for the rest of our lives?"
"We used to laugh at that theoretical Grandmaster. Now aren't we even worse off than he is?"
"Ahhhhh, I don't want this..."
"No, I don't believe all the Soul Beasts are gone. There must still be some out there..."
"Damn it, who's the culprit? I'll kill him!"
"..."
When Lin Yue arrived at Sunset Forest, he saw plenty of Soul Masters taking the news hard.
Some had come to confirm the reports of the Soul Beasts' disappearance. Others refused to believe it and stubbornly continued searching for Soul Beasts to hunt. Still others wanted to find the real culprit behind it all... They wailed in despair, unwilling to accept what had happened.
"Mmm~"
"What a sight. This really does put me in a good mood!"
Watching the scenes from above and hearing their cries, Lin Yue felt utterly refreshed.
After all, he was the culprit! Hahahaha!
How could he not be happy after doing something wicked and seeing the misery he'd caused?
"Oh, right, System, show the scene I'm watching to every Soul Beast in the Containment Shelter."
Then Lin Yue remembered something and immediately gave the System an order.
He hadn't forgotten that there were so many powerful Soul Beasts in the Containment Shelter waiting for him to bring them to heel!
[Ding~ Showing the current scene to every Soul Beast in the Containment Shelter...]
After a few days of getting used to their new surroundings, nearly all the Soul Beasts in the Containment Shelter had adapted to their new environment.
Some low-level Soul Beasts hadn't even realized they were no longer in the place where they'd originally lived.
Only the powerful Soul Beasts were still exploring the Containment World, trying to figure out what sort of place they'd ended up in.
They also wanted to know who had brought them here.
The most notable among them were undoubtedly the Ferocious Beasts that had originally been hidden beneath the Lake of Life.
"Your Majesty, we've finished our investigation. This really isn't the world we used to live in!"
Di Tian stood before the Silver Dragon King and reported respectfully.
Not long after being pulled into the Containment Shelter, the Silver Dragon King had awoken from her recovery.
After all, how could being transported somewhere else possibly fail to wake her?
She had been deeply shocked, but hadn't dared to act rashly. Instead, she had summoned Di Tian by her own means and ordered him to find out what this world was like.
"Are you certain you haven't made a mistake?"
At his words, the Silver Dragon King's eyes trembled. She stared intently at Di Tian as she pressed him for an answer.
"Yes, Your Majesty. There's no mistake!"
"Because there are no humans in this world!"
As Di Tian said this, his voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.
How could he not be excited?
As the years passed, human Soul Masters' Martial Souls grew stronger and stronger, and more and more powerful humans emerged. Humanity had become increasingly formidable.
By contrast, as Soul Beasts were hunted by Soul Masters, fewer and fewer Soul Beasts possessed great cultivation. The standing of the Soul Beast Clan had declined with each passing day, and many Soul Beasts had even begun to be raised in captivity by humans.
If things continued this way, the Soul Beast Clan might even face extinction.
He had long been anxious, but lacked the ability to lead the Soul Beast Clan to defeat humanity. All he could do was wait for the Silver Dragon King to emerge from seclusion.
Now that he knew they had come to an entirely new world, one without humans, how could he not be happy?
"Don't get too excited just yet. We still don't know who brought us here!"
"Besides, I can feel that this world has a strong hold over us!"
"Though there are no humans here, we may be trapped and unable to break through."
The Silver Dragon King gave a cool snort. She wasn't as optimistic as Di Tian.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Hearing her words, Di Tian quickly wiped the smile from his face. His expression grew solemn as he asked, "What should we do from now on?"
"There's no need to rush."
At Di Tian's question, the Silver Dragon King replied calmly, "We'll talk about it once I've recovered!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Di Tian immediately felt reassured.
Buzz—
Just as Di Tian was preparing to take his leave, a screen suddenly appeared in front of him.
"What is this?"
Di Tian's eyes widened instantly.
He looked up at the Silver Dragon King and saw that a screen identical to the one before him had appeared in front of her as well.
"Your Majesty, be careful! This is something from the human world!"
Di Tian hurriedly warned her.
"Hmph!"
A cold glint flashed in the Silver Dragon King's eyes. An Elemental Tide gathered before her and slammed into the screen.
Pfft~
But her attack passed straight through the screen, as if it didn't exist.
The Silver Dragon King's expression changed instantly.
Before she could try attacking again, a voice came from the screen, making her pause.
"All Soul Beasts watching this screen, I'm sure you've realized by now that you're no longer in your original world!"
"That's right. I did this!"
