Upon hearing Tang Wu's grand vision of "peaceful coexistence between humans and Soul Beast," a hint of hesitation flashed across the Myriad Demon King's face.
Intense deliberations were taking place in my mind.
But soon...
That hesitation was replaced by a decisive action.
The Myriad Demon King stepped forward, emerging from beside Di Tian, and stood before Tang Wu, making a gesture of submission.
"Then there is only one answer: I will pledge my loyalty to you!"
To express their determination.
With a "snap," the Myriad Demon King took a branch from his body and broke it off.
Seeing that the Myriad Demon King was the first to step forward, Xiong Jun Di Tian, the remaining two, both widened their eyes in surprise.
The Myriad Demon King seemed to sense the two burning gazes behind him. He slowly turned around, his eyes meeting Di Tian's gaze directly:
" Di Tian, don't you understand?"
"This is the best choice. No matter how unwilling I am, the facts are what they are."
"Rather than stubbornly marching towards destruction, it is better to choose a new path."
"Very good, it seems you've made your choice."
Tang Wu looked at the Myriad Demon King and nodded in satisfaction.
actually······
The Myriad Demon King chose to betray the Demon King for another reason: the unequal strength between the two sides.
I followed Di Tian back then only because I was afraid of his martial prowess.
It was only because of their inferior strength—their fists weren't as powerful as his—that they had no choice but to band together for mutual support.
Now a better option is available.
What reason does he have to continue following Di Tian down this dark path?
The Myriad Demon King was a smart man; he knew when to choose which side to take.
He turned his head, his gaze shifting to Xiong Jun, his tone sincere and frank:
" Xiong Jun, you're not a fool. Follow the adults, that's the only way to survive."
"The only outcome will be death."
" Myriad Demon King, year you..."
Di Tian stared at the Myriad Demon King in disbelief, his dragon eyes surging with anger and shock.
He never expected that not only would the other party betray him, but they would also turn around and act as a persuader for Tang Wu.
at the same time.
Di Tian's gaze fell on Xiong Jun, his expression quite complicated.
This is both a competitor and a comrade-in-arms.
Although the two have always disliked each other, they have always been on the same side when it comes to opposing humanity.
Xiong Jun met Di Tian's gaze.
He glanced at the increasingly decadent and hopeless Dragon Clan, then at Tang Wu's side, whose momentum was unstoppable and whose power was at its zenith.
In those deep, dark eyes, the light of struggle flickered only symbolically a few times.
After a sigh and a long silence, Xiong Jun said in a somber voice:
" Di Tian... give up."
"We all know that now... it's impossible."
If it were before...
Xiong Jun still believes in the theory that Soul Beast are the rulers of the Douluo Continent.
After all, for thousands of years, the Star Dou Forest has been the territory of Soul Beast, and humans have only been occasional passersby.
But from the moment Tang Wu appeared, he already knew that it was impossible.
after all······
Will Tang Wu just stand by and watch the humans be suppressed by the Soul Beast?
The answer is obviously no.
Just as the Myriad Demon King said, Xiong Jun is not a fool.
It is precisely because of this thorough understanding of the situation that one becomes increasingly less confident the more one looks at it.
With Xiong Jun also siding with Tang Wu, Di Tian was completely left all alone.
Tang Wu watched this scene and nodded slightly in satisfaction.
"Alright, the situation is clear now."
"Your next task is to clear the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Forest and create a flat area."
"I have decided to use this area as a buffer zone for communication between the two sides."
A great man once said:
Practice is the only way to test true knowledge.
What Tang Wu needs to do is to turn his boastful claims into tangible realities, step by step.
As he instructed.
Xiong Jun, Scarlet King, and Myriad Demon King joined forces and selected a piece of land on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, then leveled it.
Only through this place can one enter the Star Dou Forest.
Ancient trees that had grown for countless millennia were uprooted and collapsed, and the primeval forest canopy that blocked out the sky was disappearing.
Tang Wu stood on a high place and saw the whole scene. He nodded slightly in satisfaction.
Watching the giant golden bear below crush everything in its path like a bulldozer, he couldn't help but sigh:
" The Xiong Jun bulldozer is really useful. The Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear race is perfect as a logging machine."
Snow Empress and Ice Empress stood beside him.
After hearing Tang Wu's words, Ice Empress's lips twitched speechlessly.
" Xiong Jun is a well-known powerhouse on the Ferocious Beast ranking list. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say that?"
"But that's the truth..."
Tang Wu shrugged indifferently.
The Star Dou Forest is an important way for high-level Soul Master to obtain Soul Ring.
The news that was supposed to be kept secret here spread like wildfire, reaching the entire continent from the edge of the forest in just half a day.
Within a day, each of the major powers had an urgent secret report on their desks.
Upon seeing the letter, they immediately doubted its authenticity.
"What?! This is impossible?!"
" The Star Dou Forest being sealed off? That's definitely a lie. Putting aside where these beasts got the ability to carry it out."
"The more powerful the Soul Beast, the less likely it is to gather together and obey orders, unless..."
He stopped talking mid-sentence.
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to the man, and a chill shot up his spine to the top of his head, instantly soaking his back with cold sweat.
To make Soul Beast that are seventy or eighty thousand years old obey orders and behave in an orderly manner,
Unless...
Behind them, there exist terrifying beings far surpassing their cultivation levels.
The mere thought of that possibility sent chills down his spine.
"Speaking of which, could this sudden closure of the Star Dou Forest have been orchestrated?"
"I feel like this all happened too coincidentally."
It was at this moment that he suddenly remembered.
Tang Wu recently announced the existence of the Self-Condensed Soul Ring Method.
Not long after, the Star Dou Forest was sealed off. Wasn't this coincidence a bit too deliberate?
He wasn't the only one harboring the same suspicion.
Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall Empire, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Dai Chengfeng of the Star Luo Empire.
At the same time, prominent figures on the mainland all began to have deep doubts.
Hearing is unreliable, seeing is believing.
Such a momentous event has occurred on the Douluo Continent that they must see it for themselves and confirm it.
The major powers made their decisions almost simultaneously:
He immediately set off to the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest to closely monitor the situation.
In less than a day.
The once desolate open area on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest has now become bustling with activity.
Various luxurious carriages travel along the horse trails.
In an instant.
The outer area of Star Dou Forest became the focus of attention across the entire continent, with important figures from all sides gathering there.
