Reactions from All Sides

"God Slayer—Di Tian?"

The powerful figures of Sea God Pavilion all changed expression when they saw the words appearing on the Sky Screen.

"Th-this... is it talking about Di Tian, the Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Lin Huiqun's eyes widened.

Xuan Zi did not speak immediately. He merely narrowed his eyes at the few flamboyant lines of text on the Sky Screen, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen.

"Showing the future?"

Yan Shaozhe's brows twisted into knots. "This thing can show the future?"

"Utterly absurd!"

On the other side, Qian Duoduo withdrew the detection Soul Tool in his hand.

"I tested it. This thing contains none of the known Soul Power fluctuations. It is definitely not a Soul Tool."

"Could the Sun Moon Empire's new Soul Tools simply be so far beyond you that you can't detect them?"

Yan Shaozhe shot him a sidelong glance.

Qian Duoduo's face darkened, and he refused to back down.

"The test results are out. If it isn't one, then it isn't one. Why are you arguing with me?"

"If you want to know what it is, go to the Sun Moon Empire's Virtue Hall yourself."

"Enough."

Xuan Zi spoke, and the two immediately fell silent.

With his hands behind his back, Xuan Zi looked up at the Sky Screen and slowly said,

"This is not a Soul Tool, nor is it any known soul skill. As for whether it is a divine miracle..."

He paused, his tone growing more solemn.

"If this truly is the work of gods, then could those three words, 'God Slayer,' be a warning to us?"

Everyone's hearts sank at his words.

God Slayer—one who slew gods.

If what the Sky Screen said was true, then Di Tian's future achievements...

Would they not surpass anything any of them could imagine?

"Elder Xuan, you mean..."

Cai Mei'er asked cautiously.

"Let's watch first."

Xuan Zi waved a hand.

"Since this thing has appeared, it certainly will not show only a few words."

"Return to Sea God Pavilion first and find Mu En."

The leader of the eight-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beasts—if he truly became a god... or even slew a god...

How were human soul masters supposed to survive in the future?

Within the Heaven Dou Empire, at the Body Sect's headquarters.

Du Busi, the Body Sect Master, was sitting cross-legged in meditation, thick Soul Power from his Body Martial Soul faintly surging around him.

The instant the Sky Screen descended, he abruptly opened his eyes, and his aura surged.

Several Body Sect elders beside him also underwent drastic changes in expression. They rose one after another and looked toward the Sky Screen hovering in the air.

When the six words "God Slayer—Di Tian" entered their sight, the entire Body Sect headquarters fell into dead silence.

"Di Tian? That Beast God Di Tian from the Star Dou Great Forest?"

An elder blurted out, his tone full of disbelief.

"He can actually be called a God Slayer?"

Du Busi's expression was grim, his fists unconsciously clenching.

He had devoted his life to pursuing the ultimate power of the Body Martial Soul and considered himself among the continent's strongest. Yet even he remained wary of Di Tian, the universally acknowledged number one Ferocious Beast on the continent.

Now that the Sky Screen directly stated Di Tian could slay gods in the future, if that became reality, the Body Sect, which had once hunted many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, would likely not be spared.

"All of you, settle down!"

Du Busi barked in a low voice, suppressing the unrest among the crowd, though his own heart churned like a stormy sea.

"Can soul beasts... become gods too?"

Humans could become gods. The first generation of the Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago had already proven that. Yet there had never been any precedent for soul beasts becoming gods.

Sun Moon Empire, Virtue Hall.

After receiving Xu Tianran's order, Jing Hongchen immediately assembled Virtue Hall's most advanced detection Soul Tools and conducted a comprehensive examination of the Sky Screen.

Yet no matter how the Soul Tools operated, they could not detect even the slightest trace of Soul Power fluctuations.

When the words appeared on the Sky Screen, the Soul Tool component in Jing Hongchen's hand nearly slipped free, and his usual calm composure vanished completely.

"Beast God Di Tian, God Slayer..."

Jing Hongchen muttered, his eyes full of wariness.

The Sun Moon Empire's true ruler was currently Xu Tianran, and Xu Tianran's desire to unify the continent was known to everyone.

The Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest were already a potential threat. If Di Tian could truly become a god, then unifying Douluo Continent would likely be nothing but a fantasy.

Against a legendary god, how far could the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool army go?

Jing Hongchen thought to himself, his expression more solemn than ever.

Shrek Academy, freshmen dormitory district.

The match at the Soul Fighting Arena had been forced to pause because of the Sky Screen. Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao returned to the dormitory together.

The surrounding freshmen were still gathered in groups, discussing the small Sky Screens before them. The noise never ceased.

Back in his own dormitory, Huo Yuhao sat beside his bed, his gaze fixed firmly on the light screen before him.

He had only recently joined Shrek and was not yet a strong soul master. His experience was shallow, and he knew nothing about the continent's most powerful soul beasts. He quietly asked the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm again in his heart.

"Brother Sky Dream, who exactly is this Di Tian the Sky Screen mentioned?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mental fluctuations quickly arrived. Its tone was extraordinarily serious, completely lacking its usual playful manner.

"Little Yuhao, he is the leader of those evil soul beasts that captured me back then!"

"Di Tian is the overlord of the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, the leader of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts. People call him the Beast God!"

"His cultivation is unfathomable. He is the universally acknowledged strongest person in Douluo Continent today."

Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly contracted, and stormy waves surged through his heart.

The continent's strongest, the Beast God... each term crashed into his heart, making him instantly understand the weight behind that name.

"Then can he really become a God Slayer, as the Sky Screen says?"

Huo Yuhao could not help asking, his voice filled with shock.

"That is hard to say."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hesitated slightly. "Di Tian has coveted a godhood for many years, yet he has never managed to break through."

"The Sky Screen claims to show the future, but the future is inherently uncertain. Whether it is true or false, no one can say for sure..."

Clear Sky Sect.

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, who had descended from the God Realm and taken the names Niu Tian and Tai Tan, were discussing the matter atop a cliff.

"Big Brother, could this also be part of his plan?" Tai Tan asked.

"I'm not sure either. But he should be able to learn about Douluo Continent's situation from the God Realm as well. We just need to wait."

Niu Tian thought for a moment before replying.

Hearing this, Tai Tan immediately said, "Then should we go to Shrek and see whether that child is safe?"

Niu Tian shifted his gaze from the Sky Screen to Tai Tan. "We should not go. Those youngsters at Shrek's Sea God Pavilion still have some ability."

"Our strength has currently been suppressed to this level. If we go over and are discovered, disrupting that person's plan would only backfire."

After descending to the lower realm while concealing their strength as divine officials, one of them was a Level 99 Limit Douluo, while the other was a Level 98 Super Douluo.

Though they were among the strongest in Douluo Continent, without revealing their true strength, it would still be difficult to avoid being noticed by Mu En, who was likewise a Level 99 Super Douluo.

"Big Brother is right."

Tai Tan smiled.

The two stopped watching the Sky Screen and flew directly toward the sect.
