Before him stood a group of behemoths, their heads lowered as they fed.

They were two to three hundred meters long, their bodies covered in thick, earth-yellow scales, with mountain-like bone spurs protruding from their backs. Every time they breathed, the airflow expelled from their nostrils was enough to grind the rocks on the ground into powder.

Fifth-rank magical beasts, Void Earth-Armored Dragons!

These were the livestock raised by the Void Ancient Dragon clan, kept specifically for the younger generation to practice on or to serve as rations.

Although they were merely livestock, the aura radiating from each one was comparable to that of a Limit Douluo from the Douluo Continent.

The leader of the group, currently dozing off, possessed an even more terrifying aura.

"Th-this is a sub-dragon?"

Di Tian trembled all over, his legs turning to jelly. "This is clearly an earth-type dragon with ultimate defense!"

"In our Douluo Continent, a soul beast of this level would be an absolute overlord, capable of standing toe-to-toe with me!"

"But why are they wearing collars around their necks here? And why are they eating grass?"

However, before Di Tian could recover from his shock, a Void Ancient Dragon guard responsible for overseeing the feeding pen walked over. He casually tossed a giant iron shovel, taller than Di Tian himself, toward him and said with a look of utter disdain, "Hey, new black lizard."

"What are you staring at? Those are the meat dragons raised by our Ancient Dragon Island. We're slaughtering two tonight to provide an extra meal for the Young Clan Leader."

"Your task is to clean up all the dragon dung in this area."

"Remember, if you dare to slack off or soil the scales of the meat dragons, I'll chop you into pieces and feed you to them!"

"Sh-shovel... dung?"

Di Tian looked at the massive iron shovel, then at the meat dragons dozens of times his size. A sense of unprecedented humiliation surged straight to his crown!

He was the Beast God!

The master of the Star Dou Forest!

He was being asked to shovel dung for a group of livestock?!

"No! A warrior may be killed, but he cannot be humiliated!!"

Di Tian's eyes turned blood-red, and he let out a roar of grief and indignation, the remnants of the Dragon God bloodline within him burning wildly. "I am the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King! I am the pride of the dragon race!"

"I will never shovel dung!!"

However, no sooner had his roar faded than the Void Earth-Armored Dragon feeding nearby seemed annoyed by the noise. It turned its head in dissatisfaction, its massive eyes casting a cold glance at the tiny insect.

Then, it lifted a giant dragon claw capable of blotting out the sky and kicked backward as casually as if it were shooing a fly.

BOOM!!!

There were no flashy skills, only pure physical strength.

That kick shattered the air directly, creating a terrifying sonic boom cloud!

"Pfft!!"

Di Tian didn't even have a chance to react; he was sent flying like a cannonball, slamming heavily into a mountain-sized pile of dragon dung!

Douluo Continent, Star Dou Forest, Core Circle.

This scene was devastating for the soul beast race.

By the Lake of Life.

"Di Tian—"

Gu Yuena watched the Beast God on the light screen, kicked away by a piece of livestock and left struggling for his life in a pile of dung. Her beautiful body trembled violently, and she finally collapsed onto the grass, weak and helpless.

"That is Di Tian."

Gu Yuena's voice drifted out, two lines of clear tears sliding down her silver hair and dripping into the Lake of Life, stirring up ripples. "He is the guardian who accompanied my awakening, the Black Dragon King who inherited the Dragon God's Dragon King Claw."

"In this Douluo Continent, a single word from him makes ten thousand beasts bow. Even the human Limit Douluos must give him some face."

"But now—"

Gu Yuena pointed at the light screen, her finger trembling uncontrollably. "In the eyes of those Void Ancient Dragons, he is not even as good as those grass-eating meat pigs."

"Those creatures called Void Earth-Armored Dragons are clearly low in intelligence, clearly just food, yet a casual kick from them is enough to leave our Beast God half-dead."

"What does our so-called hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation even amount to?"

"Is it a joke?"

"Dragon God, if you were still here, seeing your subjects suffer such humiliation in another world, what would you think?"

Behind Gu Yuena, the fierce beasts who usually commanded the winds and rains in the Star Dou Forest stood as if their souls had been ripped away.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, who usually refused to submit to Di Tian and always plotted to usurp him, was currently pressed against the ground with his massive head buried deep in the soil, his entire body shaking like a sieve.

"T-too terrifying—"

Xiong Jun's voice was choked with sobs. The instinctual fear made him lack the courage to even glance at the light screen. "Boss Di Tian's defense is stronger than mine, and he was crippled by a single kick."

"If it were a clumsy bear like me, I'd probably be turned into meat paste if those meat dragons just sneezed, right?"

"I don't want to go to that world, I just want to stay in the Star Dou Forest and dig for honeycombs to eat, wuwuwu."

The Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff was so terrified it practically wet itself. Its three dog heads looked at one another, eyes filled with horror: "That was a Tier 5 magical beast? Only Tier 5?"

"How exactly does that world classify its levels? A Tier 5 can crush our Beast God?"

"If that's the case, does our cultivation of over two hundred thousand years mean we wouldn't even count as Tier 1 magical beasts over there? Do we not even qualify to be ants?"

The Emerald Swan covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably: "It's too cruel. To make someone as proud as Di Tian shovel dung—that's more painful than killing him."

They had once believed that as long as they cultivated for one hundred thousand years, they could transform into humans and become gods.

But now, that higher-dimensional world had told them:

Stop dreaming.

In the face of absolute racial suppression, even if you cultivate for a million years, you are nothing more than a slightly larger bug.

Battle Through the Heavens Plane, Ancient Dragon Island.

Di Tian crawled out from the massive pile of excrement.

He had wanted to vomit, to go mad, to commit suicide.

But as his skin touched the yellow-white matter, which still radiated a warm heat, a surge of energy flowed through his pores and into his body!

It was pure earth-elemental energy!

In a single instant, the bones that had been kicked to pieces just moments ago began to knit back together!

"This—"

Di Tian froze.

He grabbed a handful of dragon dung, sensing the energy contained within, his face—smeared with filth—wearing an expression of utter astonishment.

"This concentration of energy... it's comparable to the water in the Lake of Life?"

"No! It's even purer than the lake water!"

"If I cultivate here, even if I just breathe in these fumes—"

"My cultivation could definitely break through the million-year mark, perhaps even reshape my dragon body and evolve into a higher-order dragon race!"

In an instant, the sense of humiliation in Di Tian's heart was suppressed by a thought known as "true fragrance."

He had been stuck at a bottleneck on the Douluo Continent for hundreds of thousands of years.

And here, he could break through just by shoveling poop?

"Hoo—"

Di Tian took a deep breath. The scent, a mixture of sulfur and stench, now smelled like power in his nostrils.

He silently picked up the massive iron shovel, his eyes turning resolute.

"Shovel!"

"To become stronger, I will shovel this dung!"

"As long as I can bring a shovel-full back, the Lord's injuries can be saved!"

And so, under the gaze of countless eyes across the entire Douluo Continent, the once high-and-mighty Beast God began to shovel dung with extreme effort, and perhaps even a touch of piety.

On the other side, the Tagor Desert, Snake-Person Tribe Palace!

This was a magnificent palace built upon an oasis, luxurious and filled with exotic charm.

Deep within the palace, inside a massive bath carved from the finest warm jade, steam billowed.

Various rare flower petals floated on the water's surface, emitting an intoxicating fragrance.

"Splash—"

Queen Medusa's perfect, flawless body was submerged in the water, her purple snake tail lazily slapping the surface, sending ripples outward.

She closed her eyes slightly, enjoying this rare moment of comfort.

Beside the bath, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in tattered red robes, bound tightly by seven-colored chains, knelt on the ground in humiliation. Her hands were forced against the water inlet at the edge of the bath.

It was none other than the High Priestess of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi!

"The water is cold."

Queen Medusa didn't even lift her eyelids. Her lazy voice carried a tone of unquestionable command: "Heat it up. And filter the impurities out of the water again."

"You—"

Bo Saixi gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with humiliation.

She was a Level 99 Limit Douluo, the spokesperson for the sea!

In the past, she had only ever used the Sea God's Light to purify evil; when had she ever used it to filter bathwater for someone else?!

"What? You're unwilling?"

Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes snapped open, a cold, piercing glint flashing across them. "I've heard that the spirit masters in your world have very stubborn bones?"

"I just don't know if your bones are harder, or if my Snake Curse Seal is."

As soon as the words fell, the colorful collar around Bo Saixi's neck tightened violently!

"Ah!!"

In an instant, a heart-wrenching pain surged through her entire body; it was a toxin burning directly at her soul!

Bo Saixi convulsed in agony, her noble and exquisite face twisting instantly as cold sweat poured down like rain.

"I—I'll do it! I'll do it!"

Bo Saixi broke down. In the face of absolute power, so-called dignity was worth absolutely nothing.

She was seen trembling as she channeled the remaining spirit power in her body. Her Sea God martial soul barely managed to condense a ball of pure blue light, which she then injected into the bath.

"Sea God, Purify—"

Tears streaming down her face, Bo Saixi humbly used the sacred spirit skill originally meant to protect Sea God Island on a pool of bathwater.

Hum!

As the blue light was injected, the water temperature in the bath instantly stabilized, and the water became crystal clear, even emitting a faint scent of the ocean.

"Hmm, that's more like it."

Queen Medusa stretched her waist with satisfaction, letting out a soft hum that made one's blood boil, before casually grabbing a handful of red powder from a jade tray nearby and sprinkling it into the water.

"These are the dregs of a Grade 5 Soul Nourishing Pill, along with the essence blood of a few Tier 3 magical beasts. Soaking in this mixture is good for the skin."

Dregs? Essence blood?

Bo Saixi was stunned.

As those red powders dissolved into the water, a surge of energy so immense it made her suffocate instantly reached her hands through the water!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

That energy followed her pores, frantically drilling into her body!

"Th-this is—"

Bo Saixi's pupils contracted violently.

She felt that her 99th-level bottleneck, which had been stuck for sixty full years, was actually loosening under the scouring of this bathwater's energy?!

"Merely dregs and bathwater, yet the energy contained within is even purer than the God-given spirit rings of Lord Sea God?"

"How is this possible?!"

Bo Saixi's worldview was completely shattered, reconstructed, and then shattered once more at this moment.

She looked at that pool of crimson water and couldn't help but swallow hard.

"If, if I could drink a mouthful of this bathwater—"

"Would I be able to break through to level 100? Would I be able to become a god?"

Once this thought emerged, Bo Saixi was startled by it herself.

But her body's instincts were honest. She knelt by the edge of the bath, crying while heating the bathwater for Queen Medusa, all the while secretly circulating her spirit power, greedily absorbing every wisp of energy overflowing from the water.

So what if she was living like a faucet?

As long as she could become a god, even this bathwater was fragrant!

Douluo Continent, Sea God Island.

Thump! Thump!

The Seven Holy Pillar Guardians of the Sea God fell to their knees one after another.

Sea Dragon Douluo clutched his own hair, letting out a broken wail: "High Priest, what are you doing!"

"You're actually secretly absorbing someone's bathwater, and why does that expression look so enjoyable?!"

"Lord Sea God's face has been completely lost!!"

Meanwhile, at Spirit Hall.

Qian Daoliu watched the light screen. He, who had been weeping bitterly, suddenly stopped his crying.

He stared blankly at Bo Saixi, his eyes shifting from grief to confusion, and finally into a deep, profound jealousy.

"Energy, that is god-level energy."

"Even though Xixi is acting like a faucet, her aura is growing stronger!"

"Even bathwater can help someone become a god—"

"I, too, wish to go and scrub that Queen's back!"

The scene shifted.

Battle Through the Heavens Plane, Ancient Dragon Island, Dragon Dung Cleaning Area.

Compared to the humiliation suffered by Bo Saixi, Di Tian's experience was filled with a distinct aroma.

In the center of a massive cesspit, Di Tian was brandishing a giant iron shovel dozens of meters long, shoveling away mounds of Void Earth-Armored Dragon dung that looked like small hills, just like a diligent old farmer.

"Heave! Ho!"

Di Tian worked with feverish intensity, his entire body covered in yellow and white filth, yet he didn't care in the slightest; there was even a strange, excited grin plastered on his face.

Because he had discovered a heaven-shaking secret!

"There is great fortune hidden in this excrement!"

As he shoveled, Di Tian couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The pungent, foul stench filling his nostrils was, at this moment, even more enchanting to him than the fresh air of the Lake of Life.

"Every shovel I dig, the toxic fumes released temper my Black Dragon body!"

"My dragon scales are hardening! My bloodline is being purified!"

"That Heiqing didn't lie to me! This really is a stroke of fortune!"

Suddenly, Di Tian's shovel struck a golden-colored, partially undigested lump.

It was a fourth-grade spiritual herb that hadn't been fully broken down: an Earth Core Body-Tempering Grass!

"Gulp."

Di Tian stared at the herb residue, which was coated in indescribable filth, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently.

On the Douluo Continent, he was the arrogant Beast God who drank only the purest dew.

But here—

"Forget it! For the sake of the Lord, for the sake of becoming stronger!"

"I'll eat this!"
