Cooperation Reached (Seeking Collection and Follow-up Reads)

Looking at the two who had been stunned once again, Yu Tianshuo was quite satisfied with his plan.

First, he used his powerful and mysterious bloodline to weave a narrative, setting the stage by claiming he originated from a much more powerful world.

Then, he used information unknown to them about this world to overwhelm them, before finally revealing his true purpose.

Although it wasn't particularly clever—perhaps even a bit crude—it was enough to intimidate these two fools.

Yu Tianshuo snapped his fingers, drawing their attention back to himself, and continued his deception with a solemn expression.

"Although you may find it hard to accept, the final words of the Dragon God before his division clearly stated that soul beasts are forbidden from becoming gods! Unless the next successor to the Dragon God appears, this ironclad rule cannot be broken."

He took a deep breath and continued.

"Therefore, for the future of soul beasts, and for the future of humanity! We must work together."

His voice grew increasingly impassioned, as if the entire world could hear his cry.

"I need your power. Only with your help can I, in this current human form, ascend to become the new generation of Dragon God!"

"Once I possess that invincible power, I will rewrite the distorted laws of this world!"

"And the moment I truly become the Dragon God will be the day soul beasts are liberated!"

Yu Tianshuo's words burned like fire, filled with passion and determination.

He looked into the eyes of the two dragon kings and swore an oath.

"When that time comes, not only you, but all the other dragon kings who will be absorbed by me will also be resurrected!"

"If the Dragon God himself is willing, I will even attempt to resurrect him!"

The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King exchanged glances, moved by Yu Tianshuo's sincerity and his speech.

Their eyes began to burn with fanaticism!

Only now did they truly realize the ambition and power of the person standing before them!

Seeing that the effect was so good, Yu Tianshuo smiled, extended his palm, and invited them.

"Let us fight for a better tomorrow!"

They fanatically grasped his hand, saying with excitement.

"Let us fight for a better tomorrow!"

The three hands clasped tightly together, as if sealing a contract, and all three wore sincere smiles.

The next morning.

After the heart-to-heart and brainwashing from the previous night, Yu Tianshuo had obtained information regarding the burial sites of several other dragon kings.

There were also locations of dragons currently in deep slumber, some of which were hundred-thousand-year soul beasts; they even offered to help Yu Tianshuo negotiate with them.

However, Yu Tianshuo also had to promise them that he would save any other soul beasts absorbed by those around him whenever possible.

Yu Tianshuo agreed readily.

Honestly, once he reached the level of the Dragon God, modifying the laws of the world or creating small dimensions would be effortless.

By then, he would let the soul beasts live in those small dimensions, and once they gained sentience, he would let them choose their own path—whether they wanted to cultivate in the human world or become gods in their soul beast forms, he had no objections.

Those were concerns for the future; for now, he had to focus on the task at hand.

After waking up and washing, he kicked his senior brother awake and took him to the campsite to find their master.

Before they even arrived, Dugu Yuan began shouting loudly.

"Old man! Get up and get ready to leave! Stop sleeping in there!"

As soon as Dugu Yuan finished shouting, he began to yawn, not noticing a slipper flying out from the campsite, heading straight for them.

Yu Tianshuo saw the slipper coming but didn't bother to move, simply dodging it with a slight shift of his body.

The senior brother, who was still yawning after his shout, wasn't so lucky; he was hit directly, and the slipper flew perfectly into Dugu Yuan's wide-open mouth, causing him to retch violently.

"It's not like I can't sense you two coming. What are you shouting for? Do you have any idea that we're still in the wilderness?"

Seeing Dugu Bo walking toward them, Yu Tianshuo greeted him respectfully.

"Good morning, Master."

Dugu Bo nodded and continued walking toward the still-retching Dugu Yuan.

After a night of deep reflection, Dugu Bo felt he had been too lenient with his son.

He had spoiled him too much in the past, so he decided that from today on, he would strictly regulate every word and action of Dugu Yuan.

Although it might not necessarily do much, it would help him reclaim his image as a stern master in his son's eyes.

After another round of "loving education," Dugu Bo told them to pack up and get ready to leave.

It was at this moment that Yu Tianshuo began his performance again!

"Master, I have once again found some information about dragon-type soul beasts in the ancient texts."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression remained very calm, and even Dugu Yuan didn't show any signs of excessive shock.

It was not that they were not shocked; they were simply numb.

Seeing that his master and senior brother did not speak, merely gesturing for him to continue, Yu Tianshuo felt a twinge of regret that he could not see expressions of shock on their faces, but he continued nonetheless.

"I learned from ancient texts that the Earth Dragon King is buried within the Tianling Mountain Range beside Jialing Pass."

"Not only that, but other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast specimens are also slumbering beside the Earth Dragon King, and those will be the targets I have selected for you, Master."

As he spoke, Yu Tianshuo produced a map and pointed to the Tianling Mountain Range next to Jialing Pass.

Dugu Bo rubbed his chin and asked, "Do you have the specific location?"

Yu Tianshuo answered confidently, "Absolutely no problem; I can sense it."

"Very well, we depart now."

With that, Dugu Bo's figure vanished before the two of them, leaving behind one final sentence before he disappeared.

"The two of you must follow me on your own. Whoever arrives last will have all their future training doubled, and it will be at the devilish difficulty level!"

Dugu Yuan looked at Yu Tianshuo, but this time, there was no confused staring as usual.

He could only watch as his junior brother initiated Martial Soul Possession and even began shouting out his soul skills.

"First Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Transformation!"

"Second Soul Skill, Ice and Fire Twin Dragon Transformation!"

As the soul skills were unleashed, Yu Tianshuo's entire body turned golden, his speed doubling, and he immediately followed up with another.

"Nine Dragon Protection Seal!"

With this move, two clones returned into Yu Tianshuo's body, further increasing his speed by threefold.

Watching his junior brother's figure vanish, Dugu Yuan's eyes were filled only with deep shock and terror.

He hurriedly activated his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul Avatar, and began to chase with all his might!

He shouted while he pursued, "Junior Brother!!!"

"Wait for me! This counts as a false start! Do it over! Do it over!"

There was no response; he could only see the path his junior brother had smashed through in his haste to travel.

Only at this moment did Dugu Yuan understand the treachery of the human heart.
