The journey from Tiandou City to the Star Dou Great Forest is not actually that far; at his flight speed, it should only take about a week. However, he cannot use his two martial souls simultaneously, which forces him to switch to his second martial soul to conceal his aura whenever his spiritual power detects a powerful soul beast, compelling him to continue the rest of the way on foot.

The full half-month journey makes him feel as helpless as if he were performing a "coitus interruptus" challenge on the road.

Fortunately, relying on his exceptional spiritual power, he manages to avoid almost all risks and arrives safely at the Star Dou Great Forest. Now, he only needs to find the gathering place of the Elemental Sprite.

"Hunting for souls is something that must be done quickly; who knows what variables might arise in this vast Star Dou Great Forest."

With that thought, he continues to switch back and forth between his two martial souls. Yet, what he does not know is that while this allows him to avoid immediate danger, it is precisely this behavior that is about to attract the greatest variable of his trip.

Su Qing projects his spiritual power outward, searching for traces of the Elemental Sprite along the way. Thousands of years have passed, and the Star Dou Great Forest has undergone significant changes. He only remembers the general locations of many soul beast gathering grounds, and the now completely unfamiliar environment makes his search incredibly difficult.

"If only there were a local soul beast to lead the way for me..."

After a fruitless search, he begins to daydream. Unexpectedly, in the next instant, the space around him is completely sealed off. A terrifying, suffocating aura descends from the sky, and a tall figure shrouds him in shadow. Su Qing swallows hard and looks up at the figure that appeared so abruptly.

"Di... Di Tian?"

Looking at the guy in front of him who bears an eighty-percent resemblance to the human form of the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian is almost certain that this is the person he is looking for, not to mention that this guy recognized his identity the moment they met.

"Good lad, come with me!"

Before Di Tian's unquestionable words even fade, he grabs Su Qing and steps into a torn rift in space.

Su Qing is completely bewildered. He had indeed met Di Tian before, but that was to find the Silver Dragon King. Why would the other party take the initiative to find him now? And to recognize him the moment they met, even though his appearance had changed so much...

"Di Tian, why are you looking for me at a time like this? I don't have time to mess around with you right now; I still have to go find a soul beast!"

Now it is Di Tian's turn to be puzzled. How is this human so bold? Daring to speak to the Beast God like this, is he really not afraid of being slaughtered in a fit of rage?

"You little brat have quite a lot of nerve. Come see the Master with me first; once that's done, I will personally take you to find the soul beast you want!"

Hearing this, Su Qing stops resisting, though his resistance had been useless anyway. Since Di Tian says he will help him find a soul beast, he is quite willing to go along with him. But what did Di Tian tell him to do? He recalls Di Tian's words and instantly freezes in place.

"Master? Which Master?"

Didn't the Silver Dragon King self-destruct?

Seeing Su Qing looking confused, Di Tian rolls his eyes and says, "You look like that, and you're telling me you don't know which Master?"

Di Tian swears that if Su Qing weren't wearing that face, he would have beaten him half to death before taking him to see Gu Yuena. This guy asks too many questions and has no sense of humility. With this attitude toward a powerhouse, how has he survived until now?

"Hiss, could this be a parallel world? That doesn't seem right either. Is the space-time turbulence really that miraculous?"

Su Qing mutters in disbelief, but he soon realizes another problem: he is definitely not the only human in the Star Dou Great Forest. How did Di Tian find him so precisely?

"What are you saying?"

Di Tian asks in confusion, wondering why this guy keeps saying things he doesn't understand.

"Nothing, I'm just curious how you found me in such a vast sea of people?"

Su Qing decides to take this opportunity to understand where he went wrong that made him so easy to track.

"Oh, you mean that? I spread my spiritual power across the entire Star Dou Great Forest and found that only your trail was blurry and inconsistent, disappearing from time to time. I thought you were quite unique and might be the person I was looking for. As it turns out, the moment I arrived and saw your face, I knew you were the one."

In fact, under normal circumstances, Di Tian would not be this patient with a human. However, because this guy wears Gu Yuena's face, he really doesn't dare to speak to him with too harsh an attitude. If this were some kind of external avatar of Gu Yuena, then any sign of disrespect would make his future prospects look very grim.

Therefore, this is actually a beautiful misunderstanding—a misunderstanding caused by both sides misjudging each other.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener takes it to heart. Su Qing breaks out in a cold sweat. From now on, he cannot hide his aura too frequently in front of others, especially in places guarded by powerful beings.

However, Di Tian's attitude toward him is so strange. He clearly doesn't seem to know him, yet he is so patient when speaking, responding to every single sentence. One must know that even in his previous life, when he and the Silver Dragon King appeared together, Di Tian was always cold and indifferent toward him.

Although he is still confused, Su Qing quickly rules out the possibility of a parallel world. The reason is simple: the space-time turbulence born in the primitive plane of the Douluo Continent does not possess the ability to break through world barriers, yet he cannot find a reasonable explanation for the current situation.

"I'll just have to wait until I see Gu Yuena to find out."

Su Qing shakes his head helplessly, silently following Di Tian's footsteps as he walks out of the spatial rift.

"Master, I have brought him."

The moment Su Qing steps into the Life Lake, he clearly senses that he is being locked onto by several gazes. If he weren't so familiar with this place, he might have been scared out of his wits, but for Su Qing, who has faced the judgment of Asura, this is merely an appetizer.

"Let him come down to see me."

A familiar voice rings out, and memories of the past rush into Su Qing's mind. His body trembles; it really is Gu Yuena's voice! Before Di Tian can respond, he dives straight into the Life Lake.

The watching Great Beasts are all dumbfounded. Who could have expected this tiny, insignificant fellow to be so bold as to come to the gathering place of the Great Beasts alone, and to jump into the lake to face the strongest of the soul beast race without a second thought?

Seeing this, Gu Yuena appears in front of Su Qing in her human form. A flash of appreciation crosses her eyes, followed by a cold, indifferent tone:

"You have guts. However, this concerns the divine throne of This Seat that was weakened. If you cannot give a proper explanation, This Seat will still kill you."

Su Qing says nothing, only smiling as he looks at Gu Yuena. This encounter dispels the greatest shadow in his heart. However, Gu Yuena is clearly not used to being stared at like this. She subconsciously wants to kill this rude human in front of her, but since she hasn't yet learned what she wants to know from him, she finds herself in a dilemma.

"Stop looking at This Seat with those sticky, disgusting eyes."
