The other fierce beasts were all startled by Di Tian's words, staring at Qin Chuan in disbelief, their faces filled with incredulous shock.

Even Bear Lord, who was notoriously irritable, overbearing, and feared nothing, went quiet for a moment, making not a sound.

They knew nothing of other worlds!

These few fierce beasts were among the most powerful beings in the current era, rare in the world, yet their experience was ultimately limited, and their understanding of many things remained superficial.

The term "other world" was something they had only seen in fragmented ancient texts and the sporadic records left behind by Dragon God; they had never witnessed it with their own eyes.

Who could have imagined that this human, who appeared so young, was truly an otherworldly visitor from beyond the Douluo Continent!

"Senior is quite knowledgeable to know of such things. You were able to determine that I am not a native of this place based solely on my subtle expressions."

It would be a lie to say he wasn't surprised.

Qin Chuan had previously hypothesized that his identity might be seen through by those Starry Sky People, but he never expected the first to discern it would be a powerhouse of this world.

As he spoke, he adopted a haughty tone, saying calmly, "Indeed, I am not from Douluo Continent; I come from far away."

He glanced at Bear Lord: "Although this senior possesses great strength, it is only within the Douluo plane. Once you leave here, you are nothing more than a little bear."

Since these fellows mistook him for one of the Starry Sky People, he might as well play the part.

Otherwise, wouldn't he be wasting their 'good intentions'?

"Roar, human brat, what did you say?" Bear Lord was furious.

"So, those mysterious and terrifying fellows are not from this world either." Interrupting Bear Lord's outburst was a tree-demon-like soul beast, its grey-green face emerging from a tree stump, surrounded by a chilling aura.

"Back when the Dragon Clan was at its peak, Dragon God ruled over ten thousand divine beasts and governed several planes. I was fortunate enough to have witnessed that glorious era," Di Tian said slowly, his tone carrying a rare hint of pride, yet also a trace of desolation.

The soul beasts fell silent; that era was not only the final glory of the Dragon Clan but of all soul beast tribes.

Countless divine beasts fell during that era, slaughtered by the gods of the God Realm, leaving behind almost no trace of their bloodlines.

After that catastrophe, the soul beast race, which once traversed planes and served as masters of the world, was thoroughly reduced to vassals of Douluo Continent, lingering on in agony, trapped day after day on this broken land.

Hunted by humans and monitored by the God Realm, they had no dignity to speak of!

"Tell me, which world do you come from?" Di Tian, having lived through those ancient times, quickly recovered, his expression turning calm.

"I come from a world called Green Green Grassland. It is quite peaceful there, where various tribes live together in great prosperity," Qin Chuan said sincerely.

A thought suddenly occurred to him: could he trick... invite these top powerhouses of the continent into his Green Green Grassland?

After all, Douluo Continent had already been discovered by Starry Sky forces, and there might even be suspected 'true gods' among them.

Trying to seize Douluo Continent from these forces was no less difficult than snatching food from a tiger's mouth, perhaps even harder.

Moreover, whether it was the reckoning by the God Realm as these soul beasts claimed, or the invasion by the Starry Sky aliens in the future, this land and these soul beasts would ultimately face destruction.

Since that was the case, he might as well poach them!

He would trick all these top powerhouses of Douluo Continent—the ancient soul beasts representing the peak of this world's bloodline—into the Green Green Grassland.

Firstly, it would strengthen his own world's foundation and enrich the ecology of the grassland.

Secondly, the fusion of beings representing the laws of two different worlds would inevitably give birth to unique bloodlines.

Thirdly, he would gain a batch of top-tier combat power for free.

This was the advantage of his path: to embrace all rivers.

Bringing these fierce beasts to Green Green Grassland was not impossible. From his previous conversation with Qian Renxue and his growing understanding of this world, it was clear that the status of soul beasts was incredibly awkward, much like the demons of ancient Chinese mythology.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan curled his lips into a smile and continued: "The laws of heaven and earth in the grassland are unique. It is almost entirely inhabited by beast tribes, and there are no shackles like the God Realm. Beings there cultivate based solely on talent and comprehension; how far they go depends entirely on themselves."

"No shackles of the God Realm? Is this a world not under the jurisdiction of the God Realm?"

Di Tian's pupils contracted sharply. Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, his body trembled slightly, and his breathing became rapid.

Beside him, Bi Ji, Bear Lord, the tree-demon beast, Demon Dragon, and the other powerhouses became even more fervent, their eyes bursting with a once-in-a-millennium hope!

These soul beasts had been trapped in the cage of Douluo, built by the God Realm, for hundreds of thousands of years, living in daily terror and struggling at every step.

They had never imagined such a perfect plane existed in the world!

"Green Green Grassland?"

Ten Thousand Demon King's eyes turned green.

This was not simply an exotic world; it was their only path to a comeback, their only way to escape their destiny!

Di Tian suppressed the longing in his heart, calmed his emotions, looked around, and said, "Let us go. Our Lord wishes to see you."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan was slightly surprised. These fierce beasts all possessed formidable auras, heavy as mountains, yet they were not the ones in charge; there was a so-called Lord.

For a moment, a deep curiosity stirred within Qin Chuan.

The surrounding fierce beasts dispersed. Placed in the outside world, each was a terrifying existence that dominated its own territory; thus, even if they submitted to Di Tian, they would not necessarily obey every command.

However, among the departing fierce beasts, that terrifying Demon Dragon and a beautiful woman in a green dress remained behind.

The woman in the green dress was dignified and beautiful, with a graceful brow and a gentle air that seemed to emanate from her very bones. She smiled slightly:

"If the Master learns of this, he will surely be very pleased."

Her true form was an Emerald Swan, the only truly kind soul beast among the great fierce beasts. Her name was Bi Ji, and her relationship with Di Tian was far from ordinary.

"Hmm, I will take him to the Master first." Di Tian nodded, revealing a rare trace of gentleness toward her.

"Roar!"

"Human, do not harbor any unnecessary thoughts." The Demon Dragon let out a low growl. With a fiery temper, rolling black flames ignited upon his dragon body, terrifying and astonishing.

The meaning was self-evident: he was threatening Qin Chuan, giving him a show of force to nip any potential trouble in the bud.

In the distance, a fierce beast resembling a tree demon sensed the Demon Dragon's outburst and cast a glance over. A smile spread across its ash-gray face, indescribably eerie and chilling.

Di Tian did not intervene to stop this scene, perhaps because he felt it necessary, or perhaps due to the Demon Dragon's unique nature; he did not respond as Bear Lord had.

"Senior is overthinking. If I truly wished to leave, your strength would not be enough to keep me!" Qin Chuan smiled. Despite the heaven-shaking pressure weighing down on him, his expression remained unchanged.

The Demon Dragon's aura faltered, and he subconsciously looked toward Di Tian.

"Cough, cough..." Di Tian felt somewhat awkward. Even now, he still could not fathom how Qin Chuan had managed to escape his grasp earlier.

"Let's go!" He gave Qin Chuan a deep look, then immediately headed toward a certain location, moving with such extreme speed that he left afterimages in the space.

So fast!

Qin Chuan's pupils constricted.

This speed was truly astonishing. To reach such velocity in ordinary movement was something even the incredibly slovenly Tang Hao he had encountered earlier could not achieve.

Di Tian's cultivation must have reached a level of profound mastery, attaining an indescribable realm.

For a moment, his curiosity about the so-called Master grew even stronger.

Could it be that the other party was a god from the legends of Douluo?

After pondering for a moment, Qin Chuan hurriedly followed, moving with long, swift strides. Although he could not compare to Di Tian, he managed to keep up just enough not to lose him.

This ancestral land of soul beasts was unimaginably vast.

The surrounding grassland stretched for thousands of meters, covering an immense area.

At the end lay an incredibly expansive forest, where dense essence of heaven and earth gathered, wreathed in clouds, appearing like a pure land.

Could this really be a small world?

As Qin Chuan continued forward, his heart grew increasingly fervent.

If he could transplant this ancestral land, along with the Life Lake upon it, to the Green Green Grassland, it would surely cause the grassland's foundation to skyrocket, giving birth to countless top-tier powerhouses!

One must know that the concentration of spiritual energy in the grassland was inextricably linked to him. If the concentration were high enough, not only would he not need to channel his own energy to sustain it, but the grassland could instead nourish him in return.

Therefore, for the sake of the grassland, all kinds of rare treasures were always welcome.

After a while.

"We have arrived. Go in; the Master is inside." Di Tian stopped before an ancient tree.

Its gnarled, dragon-like branches obscured the sky. The ancient tree was massive and verdant, shimmering with emerald light, supporting the universe like a World Tree.

"After meeting the Master, do not let your gaze wander. Answer only what the Master asks you," Di Tian said indifferently, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

The distance between the Life Ancient Tree and their habitat was not great; if he had carried Qin Chuan, it would have taken only a few minutes.

The reason he had let Qin Chuan chase him on his own was merely to test him, and the result had surprised him somewhat.

It seems this person truly does come from another plane, but such a terrifying cultivation system... I fear this may be troublesome.

Watching Qin Chuan enter the small space within the Life Ancient Tree, Di Tian's expression was grave. He had some guesses regarding the Master's intentions.

Living in a plane under the jurisdiction of the God Realm, they not only had to constantly guard against the God Realm discovering the Master's existence, but they also had no freedom themselves, as if trapped in a prison.

However, if they wished to enter other worlds, the indigenous inhabitants of those worlds would undoubtedly be a massive obstacle.

The merging of two great worlds would inevitably be accompanied by strife and slaughter!

Qin Chuan was unaware of Di Tian's thoughts. At this moment, he was observing everything around him. The essence of heaven and earth was so terrifyingly dense that it gathered here like a frenzy; it felt as if one could inhale a massive amount of it with a single breath.

This world truly has an abundance of rare treasures. If I could plant this ancient tree back in the Green Green Grassland, even if it couldn't compare to the Green Green Grassland with the Jianmu spirit root, it would surely be the birth of a pure land.

Qin Chuan felt greedy, but he had to suppress these thoughts for now and continue inward, keeping his mind clear.

This was the internal space of the ancient tree, yet the environment was not dark. Tiny green fluorescent lights flickered all around, full of vitality and breathtakingly beautiful.

After walking another dozen meters inside, Qin Chuan stopped, finally seeing a creature dormant in this place.

"A giant dragon!" Qin Chuan exclaimed.

The fierce beast before him was, in fact, a giant dragon over three hundred meters long, its aura faint, shrouded in a green light.

A trace of wonder flashed in his eyes. If it were merely a giant dragon, Qin Chuan would not have been so shocked, as he had already seen a Demon Dragon earlier.

What truly amazed him was that these Western-style giant dragons, which resembled the great lizards of Earth Star legends, could actually be so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.

Bright silver scales covered its entire body, and its dragon form was slender and pristine. Wrapped in thin dragon wings, it lay quietly, resembling a bright moon hanging high in the void.

"If you were an ordinary human, seeing my dragon kin would fill you with shock and terror, rather than the awe that currently fills your eyes."

"Human, your courage is far greater than I imagined."

The cold, clear voice echoed through the space, leaving Qin Chuan momentarily stunned; he was somewhat surprised by the gender of this sovereign of the soul beast race.

She was actually a female dragon!

If he could bring her back to the grasslands, wouldn't he be able to breed an entire dragon race?

He thought to himself.

Though he remembered there were dragon species on the grasslands as well.

Things like dragons that pulled clouds, mechanical dragons, and so on...

But it was a pity that, aside from the Little Divine Dragon, the strength of those other dragons was nothing to write home about; he could only hope they might undergo some transformation under the nourishment of spiritual energy.

The myriad thoughts in his mind vanished in an instant. Qin Chuan quickly steadied his composure, cupped his hands in a respectful yet unyielding gesture, and responded calmly:

"Please forgive me, Senior. It is just that there are legends of dragons in my hometown as well, so seeing your true form now caught me by surprise."

"Oh? What are the dragons like in your legends, and do any remain in reality?"

Hearing Qin Chuan's explanation, the Silver Dragon King became slightly interested. Her silver scales shimmered with light as she waited to hear about the dragons of other worlds.
