Hearing Lin Yue say, "I was the one who did it," the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian's expressions changed in an instant.
They hadn't expected the mastermind behind bringing the Soul Beast Clan to this world to reveal himself just like that.
And in a way only a human could.
At the thought, the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian's expressions grew unbearably grim.
Could it be that a human was behind all of this?
Had a human transported their Soul Beast Clan to this world?
"Let's see what he wants to do first!"
The Silver Dragon King quickly composed herself and said grimly.
"Yes, my lord!"
Di Tian responded, forcibly suppressing his shock as he turned his attention back to the screen.
But what appeared on the screen was a scene from a Soul Beast forest. The images Lin Yue had seen earlier were playing in real time.
"Let's set everything else aside for now. I'll show you what happened to the human Soul Masters on Douluo Continent after all of you Soul Beasts disappeared!"
Lin Yue's voice sounded from beyond the image once more.
The Silver Dragon King and Di Tian could only suppress their desperate need to find out who the mastermind was and watch the screen as Lin Yue had instructed.
Of course, at that moment, nearly every Soul Beast in the Containment World was watching.
"They're gone. They're really all gone..."
"We'll never be able to hunt for Soul Rings again. We can't break through to the next level..."
"Why? Why would you do this to us?"
"Heavens, did we do something wrong? Why did you make the resources we need to cultivate as Soul Masters disappear?"
"I was born with six levels of Soul Power. I'm a genius! I broke through to level twenty at just twelve years old. I was only one Soul Ring away from becoming a Soul Grandmaster..."
"I refuse to believe that all the Soul Beasts have disappeared..."
"..."
At first, Di Tian watched the scenes on the screen with a frown. When he heard that Soul Master refer to Soul Beasts as resources for human cultivation, he gritted his teeth, wishing he could charge in and tear the man to pieces.
But when he saw the Soul Masters in Sunset Forest, most of them frantic and on the verge of madness, his frown gradually eased.
"Good! Good!"
"Let those damned humans panic for a change!"
"They actually treat us Soul Beasts as cultivation resources? The nerve!"
By the end, Di Tian was even cheering excitedly.
Many other Soul Beasts reacted just like Di Tian. Seeing the humans panic because they couldn't find any Soul Beasts left them feeling refreshed—deliriously, gloriously refreshed!
Only then did they realize that, after the Soul Beast Clan disappeared, it was the human Soul Masters who were most desperate.
"Roar—"
"Daming, did you see that?"
"Without us, those humans can't even cultivate! What a wonderful sight!"
Erming pounded his chest and roared excitedly at Daming.
"Losing the Soul Beast Clan really was like the sky falling on the humans!"
Hearing Erming's words, Daming smiled and nodded.
Although he still didn't know who had brought them to this world, seeing what had happened to the humans on Douluo Continent still made him happy.
No intelligent Soul Beast could have seen this and not felt pleased.
"I just wonder where Sister Xiao Wu is!"
"She must be happy too, seeing those humans like that, right?"
After roaring with laughter, Erming brought up their Sister Xiao Wu.
He believed Xiao Wu had been transported to this world just like them.
"Aunt Rou died at human hands. Sister Xiao Wu must be happy to see the human world end up like this!"
Daming nodded in agreement, but a trace of concealed worry flickered in his beastly eyes.
He was worried that Xiao Wu might not have been transported to this world after all.
Their Sister Xiao Wu had already transformed into a human.
They had explored quite a few places in this world, and there truly wasn't a single human anywhere.
Still, he didn't voice his concern, in case Erming panicked and did something rash.
"All right, you should understand by now just how desperate the humans are after losing all of you Soul Beasts, right?"
"That Soul Master just burst into tears!"
"Unlike the humans, who are crying in despair, you're safe."
"That's because there are no human Soul Masters in the world you're in now. From now on, no human Soul Masters will hunt you for your Soul Rings. You can live there freely and peacefully."
"And here's another surprise: the world you're in now has no heavenly tribulations."
"That's right, you heard me. There are no heavenly tribulations!"
"Once you reach a hundred thousand years of cultivation, you won't have to fear a heavenly tribulation ever again. You'll never have to worry about a sharp sword hanging over your heads!"
Soon, Lin Yue's voice once again traveled through the screen and reached the ears of every Soul Beast.
This time, many Soul Beasts were shaken.
The powerful ones in particular stared wide-eyed, looking up at the world before them in disbelief.
One Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, already on the verge of facing a tribulation, could hardly believe it. It shot into the sky and released its Soul Power.
This was its way of actively welcoming a heavenly tribulation, using its aura to draw one down.
But this time, it felt nothing at all.
"Hahaha!"
"It's true! I really can't sense any heavenly tribulation!"
"There really are no heavenly tribulations in this world!"
The moment it realized this, it burst into laughter.
Lin Yue noticed it right away and swiftly brought the scene onto the screen: the beast had tried to draw down a heavenly tribulation, but failed.
"It's really true!"
"Sister Snow, does that mean we don't have to worry anymore?"
On the Ice and Snow Plains in the Containment World, the Ice Empress happily spoke to the Snow Empress beside her.
"It seems to be true. This world really is quite wonderful!"
Seeing this, a smile appeared on the Snow Empress's face.
She was genuinely happy. She could sense that once her cultivation reached seven hundred thousand years, she might not survive the heavenly tribulations that came after.
She had been planning to transform into a human when the time came, but now it seemed she wouldn't need to.
At that moment, Lin Yue stopped broadcasting the scenes from Sunset Forest and turned the camera toward himself instead.
Lin Yue's handsome, dashing face appeared before every Soul Beast at once.
"All right!"
"I've finished telling you the good news. Now it's time to tell you something bad!"
A charming curve lifted the corner of Lin Yue's lips as he continued:
"The world you're in now is actually my Martial Soul!"
"If I die one day, you'll all perish with me!"
