His Uncle's Lord Was a Woman?

Ning Rongrong had clearly put a great deal of effort into currying favor with Yin Chuan. The Heart of the Ocean was the most precious jewel in her possession.

Dragons loved sparkling things,

and women loved gorgeous jewelry.

You could never go wrong giving a mother dragon a glittering accessory like this.

"Lord?"

Tang San's heart jolted, and he became even more reserved. Could this be his uncle's superior?

His uncle was already a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver King.

Every soul beast here was a legendary beast of great calamity. As his uncle's superior, what kind of powerhouse could that Lord be?

This was likely the true core of the soul beasts' domain.

The only reason he could stand here was entirely because of his uncle.

"You were thoughtful. Come in."

After a moment,

a deep, ethereal voice sounded from the depths of the tunnel. Its gender and emotions were impossible to discern.

"Yes."

Holding up the Heart of the Ocean, Yin Chuan remained respectful as he slowly stepped into the depths of the Land of Great Calamity.

Tang San followed closely behind him.

As uncle and nephew passed one ferocious beast after another, the beasts seemed to have been disturbed and turned their gazes toward them, making Tang San feel as though needles were pricking his back.

Several of the beasts had even taken human form.

King of Ten Thousand Monsters gave Yin Chuan a slight nod, while Bi Ji offered a friendly smile.

Bear Monarch merely snorted coldly, apparently displeased that Yin Chuan had brought someone along to mooch a meal.

But Yin Chuan was now the Child of Nature. Even hot-tempered Bear Monarch could not say much.

The relationships here seem rather complicated...

Tang San lowered his head and stayed close to Yin Chuan, not daring to look around, though he could feel those probing gazes.

Soul beasts were probably like humans, with all sorts of factions among them.

Whoosh—

The uncle and nephew reached the depths of the Land of Great Calamity. Behind Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was a stretch of space that rippled like the surface of water.

Tang San followed Yin Chuan and stepped forward. The world spun around him, and that familiar dizziness returned.

The sudden intense light stung Tang San's eyes. In his daze, he seemed to see an incomparably beautiful silver-haired woman.

A woman?

His uncle's Lord was actually a woman?

No, calling her a female soul beast would probably be more appropriate.

Tang San found it even stranger.

Although the human world was more often dominated by men, female soul beasts being stronger was a common occurrence.

Could it be that the soul beast race was ruled by females?

"Lord."

Yin Chuan gently presented the Heart of the Ocean.

"A flashy but impractical little trinket."

Though Gu Yuena said so, she still put the pendant away expressionlessly.

"Is this your nephew?"

Tang San clearly felt a probing gaze fall upon him.

Along with it came an extremely powerful pressure from a superior being, making Tang San tremble with fear once more.

"Yes, his name is Tang San."

Yin Chuan smiled faintly, warm as a spring breeze. The pride in his tone instantly sent Tang San into wild delight, sweeping away all his nervousness.

His uncle was proud of him!

How proud his uncle sounded when introducing him to his Lord!

Heavens, Uncle, Uncle...

Tang San was practically going mad, too happy to breathe!

He had never experienced such a feeling before. It was simply too wonderful...

"Tang San, how has your mother been lately?"

Seeing Tang San trembling, Gu Yuena was not surprised. She merely assumed that it was his first time meeting her and that he was overly nervous, so she asked casually.

As for Ah Yin, Gu Yuena only knew that she was Yin Chuan's older sister. She knew nothing else about her.

Naturally, she would not care about such an insignificant creature.

Whether before or now, her concern had only been empty pleasantries.

"Reporting to Lord, my mother has been much better recently."

Tang San was rather moved. He had not expected Gu Yuena to care about his mother.

Were soul beasts really so warm-hearted?

Ah Yin was Tang San's soft spot. Seeing Gu Yuena care about Ah Yin, Tang San immediately formed a much better impression of this Lord.

"That is good."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly and looked at Yin Chuan with considerable emotion.

"Just three days apart, and one must look at you in a new light. I never expected you to become the Child of Nature."

"Your nephew is impressive as well. It seems your plan has a very good chance of succeeding."

If Gu Yuena had previously regarded Yin Chuan as no more than a pet, she now had to speak with him as an equal.

The Child of Nature!

This identity alone was enough to place Yin Chuan above numerous ferocious beasts.

"Of course. I would not make baseless claims."

Yin Chuan smiled faintly.

The plan Gu Yuena mentioned was the tall tale he had spun before.

He had previously offered Gu Yuena a proposal:

nurture those Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts who had reincarnated as humans, have them reproduce with humans, and create human families possessing soul beast bloodlines;

produce large numbers of hybrids,

then support the hybrid human families as they grew and became rulers among humanity, using those hybrid families to secretly control humans.

The inspiration had come from Titan Giant Ape and Yuanen Yehui's family.

Since hybrids could also strive for godhood, Yin Chuan had also proposed the God-Making Project...

In the end,

Yin Chuan had made a military pledge. His older sister and nephew were a ready-made example, and he intended to use them as a demonstration.

If there were no results within ten years, he would submit to Gu Yuena's disposal.

This plan could be called extremely ingenious.

Those hybrids who possessed the bloodline of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were often geniuses, stronger than ordinary humans. With their support, it would also be easier to seize power.

Secretly controlling humanity was entirely possible!

When Yin Chuan had told King of Ten Thousand Monsters about it, King of Ten Thousand Monsters had been utterly astonished and immediately shared it with Di Tian.

Di Tian naturally had no reason to refuse.

Such an excellent plan,

with Yin Chuan as its executor and Ah Yin and Tang San as ready-made examples—why not try it?

Thus, King of Ten Thousand Monsters and Di Tian introduced Yin Chuan to Gu Yuena, and Yin Chuan subsequently gained Gu Yuena's favor.

"Take him outside to sit. Grant them seats."

Gu Yuena's eyes were profound as she glanced at Tang San, greatly satisfied.

Twelve years old, level thirty-five!

Yin Chuan's God-Making Project had every hope of success!

Even if it ultimately failed, Tang San would surely become a Super Douluo. At worst, he could establish a hybrid family and secretly control humanity.

Either way, there was no loss.

Yin Chuan truly was her right-hand man!

Gu Yuena was genuinely beginning to look forward to waking from a nap and finding all of human society secretly controlled by soul beast hybrid families.

"Thank you, Lord, for granting us seats."

Yin Chuan was delighted.

This Silver Dragon King really understood the situation. She knew he had brought Tang San here to mooch a meal.

"Thank you, Lord, for granting us seats!"

Tang San was quick-witted as well and immediately followed suit.

"Lord, then Yin Chuan shall take his leave for now."

Yin Chuan was properly respectful.

"Mm. I look forward to the day you succeed."

Gu Yuena had already begun to anticipate it.

"This subordinate will certainly not disappoint Lord!"

Yin Chuan made his promise with utter conviction, but he knew that it was complete nonsense.

Who did not know how to brag?

He would first swindle resources out of Gu Yuena, then worry about the rest!

As for whether he would fulfill the Soul Beast Family Project and the God-Making Project, once he became a god, why would he care about this nonsense?

They were nothing but empty promises!

And he had never intended to honor his wager with King of Ten Thousand Monsters, either.

After all, he was Tang San's uncle. Even if he lost and was enslaved by King of Ten Thousand Monsters, would Tang San ignore him after becoming a god?

Would Ah Yin ignore him?
