Hunting the Tianlong Seat

If Tianlong and Gu Yuena hadn't caught him in the crossfire.

He never would've come to Tiandou Planet.

All he could do was stare at Gu Yuena's heart. He could look, but he couldn't eat it.

It was unbearable.

As Di Tian struggled internally, tangled emotions burst forth, and Gu Yuena's ambiguous words cast a strange atmosphere over the scene.

The branch president present was terrified.

He was afraid Di Tian would take Gu Yuena away.

He hurriedly said, "She's the Federation's..."

"Heh." Di Tian sneered. "I can't take her away."

Of course, Di Tian could see that the Federation wanted to keep Gu Yuena. A lifeform at the God Level was extraordinarily valuable.

But he also laughed at their wishful thinking.

Keeping Gu Yuena alone was useless. They had to keep a Tang Family member.

If they kept the Tang Family member, Gu Yuena would naturally stay as well.

Oh, no.

It was perfectly normal for the Tang Family to go back on their word.

In the original timeline, Gu Yuena had been smashed into a star by the Tianlong Seat with a single blow.

To get the Federation to send a mothership to salvage Gu Yuena after she fell into the star, Lan Xuanyu promised that once she was rescued, he would persuade her to join the Federation's War God Temple. He even guaranteed that Gu Yuena would listen to him and join the War God Temple.

The Federation sent a fleet, led by a True God-level powerhouse.

Gu Yuena really was salvaged.

And then?

Then there was no then.

Lan Xuanyu didn't say a thing.

He happily went to the Tianma Twin Star Demi-God Realm to slaughter civilians for cultivation and rarely returned to the Douluo Home Planet.

By the time he settled permanently in the Douluo Demi-God Realm again.

Lan Xuanyu was already a God King.

Yet he still hadn't persuaded Gu Yuena to join the War God Temple.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

He truly had that pure and immaculate spirit of Grandfather making three visits to the Clear Sky Sect.

Still.

There was one thing.

Di Tian was very curious about.

Gu Yuena had already joined Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect ten thousand years ago. If she joined the Federation's War God Temple again.

Would that make her a servant of three masters?

Having waited for so long, Di Tian couldn't help letting his thoughts wander.

During this interval, Gu Yuena was curious about something too.

Di Tian clearly knew her, so why wasn't he taking her away?

Just as she was about to ask.

The people from the Federation's War God Temple finally arrived after much anticipation.

"Beast God."

The newcomer was the War God Temple's Number One War God, Yu Muchen.

His expression was arrogant.

If Di Tian hadn't been in a state where he could trigger the Godhood Tribulation at any moment, Yu Muchen, a dignified True God-level powerhouse, wouldn't have come personally.

As for what Di Tian had said.

He didn't really believe Di Tian cared about the Federation.

Much less did he believe that Di Tian, who hadn't even passed the Godhood Tribulation, had any intelligence regarding a crisis that concerned the Federation's survival.

Not to mention.

On his way here, he'd heard that Di Tian had an unclear relationship with a silver-haired woman at the Federation Academy of Science Tiandou Branch.

As expected of a soul beast about to take human form and cultivate anew. Even the Soul Beast King couldn't escape the fate of falling at the hem of a human's clothes.

Yu Muchen's tone grew even more contemptuous.

"May I ask what matter concerning the Douluo Federation's survival you have to report?"

At this moment.

Di Tian's dragon body stirred.

The trait created by refining the roots of the Life Evergreen Vine—absorbing external energy and converting it into internal vitality—gave him an undeniably powerful healing ability.

In just a short while, many of the wounds across his body had healed.

He could transform into human form again.

His spiritual power fluctuated, and a mentally manifested scroll slowly unfurled.

Within the scroll.

Was a scene of the starfield near Tiandou Planet.

It showed a Super God-level spiritual attack, Mental Flying Dagger, appearing from nowhere and striking his glabella in an instant.

Boom—

The moment Yu Muchen saw the image, the divine power within his body surged in response, shaking the Tiandou Branch's soul-guidance defensive array into activating automatically.

His pupils contracted in utter terror.

The starfield near Tiandou Planet was the heartland of the Douluo Demi-God Realm, yet an unfamiliar Super God-level powerhouse had entered it!

"Who is he?!"

"What does he want?!"

Faced with the urgent questions of a True God-level powerhouse, Di Tian withdrew the mental manifestation.

"I urgently need something."

Yu Muchen didn't hesitate at all. "No problem."

"Isn't it this silver-haired woman called Nana? I'll make the decision. Take her with you."

"War God Yu Muchen..." The branch president immediately protested.

But before he could say more, Yu Muchen glared at him and shut him up.

Di Tian: "..."

Damn it.

Was there nothing in his head besides romantic garbage?

Take Gu Yuena away?

He had no interest in bringing an ancestor home to worship.

He'd already served that living ancestor for who knew how many tens of thousands of years.

Because Gu Yuena had said she wanted revenge against humans and gods, he'd fucking believed her year after year.

And what happened?

Revenge against humans and gods had been Gu Yuena's own proposal, and she had voluntarily chosen to wear the crown of Must Bear Its Weight.

But before the revenge even began, Gu Yuena fucking quit and defected to the enemy.

He, the Soul Beast King, had become a clown!

They'd clearly agreed.

Once Gu Yuena emerged from seclusion, he could travel the universe freely.

And what happened?

Gu Yuena had gone off to fall in love the moment she emerged, while he was bound by the crown of the Soul Beast King.

The Lake of Life had once been the core of the soul beast world, where the lifeline of the Star Dou Forest converged, a source of life energy ultimately accumulated through generations of soul beasts living and dying.

Gu Yuena had used it.

He, Di Tian, had used it too.

Gu Yuena happily went off to fall in love, while he had served as the Soul Beast King for hundreds of thousands of years and could no longer cast it aside.

Di Tian bared his teeth in frustration and looked at Yu Muchen.

"Who said I wanted Nana?"

"What I need is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus."

Yu Muchen found this somewhat difficult. The Federation didn't have a Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus right now.

He wanted to put it on credit first.

If they got one later, they would give it to him.

If they didn't, Di Tian lacked the strength to force the issue anyway.

Just as he was thinking this.

The Tiandou Branch president, like an idiot, spoke up again. "War God Yu Muchen..."

But War God Yu Muchen was already unhappy, and he snapped, "Di Tian isn't even taking Nana anymore. What else do you want to say?"

The foolish branch president shrank his neck in fright and carefully said, "I know where there's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus..."

The moment those words came out.

Di Tian and Yu Muchen turned to look at him in unison.

The pressure on him grew even greater, and he hurriedly said.

"The Tiandou Lan Family."

"Their family has a Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus."

"Enough." Yu Muchen cut him off.

"Beast God."

"Can you tell us who that Super God-level powerhouse is now?"

Faced with Yu Muchen's urgency, Di Tian pointed in the direction of the Lan Family.

"Let's talk as we walk."

On the way to the Tiandou Lan Family, Di Tian began speaking words meant to set wolves against tigers.

"..."

"The Tianlong Seat!"

"Super God-level peak cultivation!"

"Are you sure?!"

"Of course."

"Don't forget what my true body is."

"And."

"I know his objective too."

"He intends to use Dragon Source Crystals to sabotage every warship in the Douluo Federation, then annex the entire Federation."

"Don't ask how I know."

"The smell of Dragon Source Crystals on Tianlong is practically overflowing. Dragon Source Crystals are also a newly emerged universal rare metal. I dare say Tianlong is currently hiding on Dragon Source Planet, where Dragon Source Crystals are produced."

"If the Federation..."

As Di Tian spoke, Yu Muchen was already answering for him.

"If we gather the Federation's seven major fleets, including the motherships, and coordinate with the God Level and True God-level powerhouses of the major factions, we may have a chance to hunt the Tianlong Seat!"

Yu Muchen said excitedly.

"Hunting a Super God-level powerhouse—such a feat would be unprecedented for the Federation."

Di Tian smiled too.

It was the smile of someone watching dogfighting.
