The livestream froze on the scene of numerous gods surrounding Tianlong's corpse.
When the bigwigs at the top argued, it definitely could not be broadcast live across the entire Federation.
But Di Tian had roughly predicted what they were thinking.
He clicked his tongue and sighed.
"Tianlong Ship..."
The moment the livestream shut down, Di Tian prepared to leave Tiandou Planet as well.
Unlike Qiangu Qingfeng, who suspected Tianlong's divine consciousness might be all right, Di Tian was ten thousand percent certain that Tianlong's divine consciousness was fine.
Now, it was time for him to make his move.
He possessed an innate immunity to spiritual power.
Moreover, with spiritual sense transformed into divine consciousness and the Dragon God's Tear in hand, he had no reason to fear the remnant soul the Abyssal Sage King had left inside the Heavenly Saint Splitting Abyss Halberd.
The Super Divine Artifact, the Heavenly Saint Splitting Abyss Halberd, could now be used. A Super Divine Artifact could not be destroyed by anyone below a God King, so piercing through Tianlong Seat's divine consciousness would not be a problem.
"Tianlong Seat."
"Sorry."
"I hold grudges."
Even aside from the life-and-death enmity he was already bound to avenge, the top-tier divine artifact Tianlong's divine consciousness had used when it fell into the living star—the Burning Heaven Divine Pestle—was enough reason for Di Tian to act.
It was among the top five top-tier divine artifacts of the Longma Demi-God Realm, on the same level as the Golden Dragon Spear.
Di Tian murmured as he turned to leave.
Yet after turning around, he ran into that familiar silver figure again.
Di Tian's face instantly took on the expression of someone badly constipated.
"What?"
"You still haven't answered my question." Gu Yuena simply stood there quietly.
"That Yu Muchen clearly intended to let me go. Why are you still unwilling to take me with you?"
"I want to hear the truth."
"The truth?" Di Tian chuckled. "Fine."
"I take you back."
"You'll still leave someday."
"So why bother?"
Listening to him, Gu Yuena scratched her head in confusion.
"I don't understand..."
"I may not remember my past memories clearly, but I'm certain we must have spent a very, very long time together."
"Even if you're worried that I'll run away... I heard about something called 'brainwashing' at Tiandou Academy of Sciences."
"You're very strong. It shouldn't be impossible for you."
"I have amnesia right now. Logically, this should be the perfect chance for you to brainwash me."
"Brainwashing?" Di Tian narrowed his eyes.
In another world, it would naturally work well.
But this was Douluo Continent. Brainwashing was not worth a hair compared to love-brained stupidity.
Ten thousand years ago, what a perfect opportunity it had been.
The Divine Realm had vanished, the Golden Dragon King had appeared, and Dragon Valley was in his hands.
Under the name "Beast God," he had also gathered hundreds of thousands of years' worth of Faith Power from the Soul Beast Clan.
How could the title of a god be chosen casually?
How could the name "Beast God" spreading across the soul beast world merely be for fame?
Take the Evil Emperor, who ruled the entire Evil Eye Forest and had become the totem of the Sun Moon Empire. How could that have formed naturally? Why would humans use a soul beast as a national totem?
Or take the Far North, known as the most united soul beast habitat, where countless northern soul beasts jointly revered the Snow Empress as the Northern Heavenly King. How could that have been without purpose?
All of it was for one thing—Faith Power.
Faith Power was the highest-tier material in the Douluo universe, without question.
It would not disappear, would not diminish, and would only accumulate and grow stronger.
Forging a Godhood required it.
Establishing a Divine Realm required it.
Even when the Dragon God led the Divine Dragon Realm to charge toward a divine star, he had needed to gather Faith Power from dozens of star systems as the source.
The Seagod Godhood alone only required a thousand years of support from sea soul beasts. The Faith Power he had gathered from the Soul Beast Clan over hundreds of thousands of years under the name "Beast God" was enough to forge hundreds of First-Rank Godhoods.
It definitely was not meant for one person alone.
Back then, all of it had been gathered for Gu Yuena.
As long as Gu Yuena was willing, she could absorb the Dragon God's legacy within Dragon Valley Small World, devour Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline, and use the Soul Beast Clan's hundreds of thousands of years of Faith Power to establish a Divine Realm in minutes.
Once the New Divine Realm enveloped Douluo Planet...
As the master of the New Divine Realm, whether Gu Yuena wanted humans and soul beasts to coexist peacefully or wanted Tang Wulin, wouldn't it all be a matter of a single word?
Whether they were humans she regretted killing or soul beasts she regretted killing, all of them could be resurrected through the New Divine Realm.
Only absolute strength could bring everyone a happy ending.
With a mind like that...
How could Di Tian dare brainwash her?
Just thinking about it made every hair on Di Tian's body stand on end.
His neck even shrank back instinctively.
He immediately turned around, preparing to leave.
Since Gu Yuena had a hole in her head, the Soul Beast Clan's hundreds of thousands of years of Faith Power should be used by him instead.
In any case, fate had never given him more choices.
Within the Douluo Demi-God Realm...
Humans either treated him as the Soul Beast King or wanted to take him in as a dog after he transformed and cultivated anew.
Beyond the Douluo Demi-God Realm...
Even Tianlong Seat, a complete stranger, wanted him dead.
The world had never left him any room.
Since it would not give him a path...
Then he would carve out a path on the road to ruin!
Since they all regarded him as Di Tian, the Soul Beast King and Beast God...
Then let them see.
With the Faith Power he had gathered from the Soul Beast Clan over hundreds of thousands of years under the name "Beast God"...
Could he become a true Beast God or not!
Seeing Di Tian turn and leave, Gu Yuena hurriedly said:
"Hey!"
"Since you don't want to continue this topic, let's change the subject."
"Didn't you say earlier that you shouldn't have trusted an 'idiot' like me and become a 'fool'? Then what do you want to become in the future?"
"An evildoer."
"Do evil? What kind of evil? Does it have anything to do with me?"
Di Tian had already turned away, but seeing Gu Yuena flash in front of him again, his teeth began to ache.
"I've already done it. It has to do with you..." As he spoke, his eyes shifted.
"Look!"
"Tiandou Dean!"
Gu Yuena instantly jolted, thinking people from Tiandou Academy of Sciences had come to capture her.
She immediately turned around.
But there was nothing in sight.
When she turned back, Di Tian had vanished.
"Huff, huff—"
Gu Yuena breathed rapidly in anger, her chest hurting.
Just as she was about to search for him again, people from Tiandou Academy of Sciences really arrived.
"Nana..."
At the same time.
In the starfield near Dragon Source Planet.
Oh, no, Dragon Source Planet was already gone.
It should be the starfield near the living star.
The area was now completely deserted. The Federation Mothership had completed its three missions to probe the living star and search for Tianlong's divine consciousness.
After three probes, Tianlong's divine consciousness had not been found.
Tianlong was judged to have truly fallen.
Thus, they had left to report back.
And Di Tian, who knew Tianlong was not dead, had already hidden in the nearby void.
Not long ago, Tianlong Seat had been lying in wait for him. Who would have thought their roles would switch so quickly?
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river indeed.
As he watched for changes in the living star, he took out the Heavenly Saint Splitting Abyss Halberd.
The Dragon God Claw stirred spatial power and retrieved the Dragon God Egg from afar.
It was not the Dragon God's possession, nor had it acknowledged an owner.
It was quite easy to take.
Holding the Super Divine Artifact in his hand, Di Tian linked his divine consciousness with the Dragon God's Tear and scanned the Heavenly Saint Splitting Abyss Halberd again and again.
At a certain moment...
The Dragon God's Tear hanging from his neck grew hot, and Di Tian's golden eyes sharpened.
"Abyssal Sage King."
"Still not coming out?"
The Heavenly Saint Splitting Abyss Halberd trembled violently in Di Tian's hand, yet it could never break free.
Di Tian suddenly clenched the halberd shaft.
A miserable scream immediately rang out. "Aaaahhh!!!"
"That's impossible!"
"How could you possibly discover me?!"
"Not even God Kings should be able to find me!"
"Barking like a dog." Di Tian did not bother much with this beaten cur.
He directly stored him inside the Dragon God's Tear and let the wills of the dragons "take good care" of him.
Just then...
The living star finally stirred.
A mass of divine consciousness wrapped in Crimson Gold Profound Flame rode the top-tier divine artifact, the Burning Heaven Divine Pestle, out from the star's surface.
Though it was divine consciousness, it radiated intense emotional fluctuations.
"I've suffered a huge loss!"
"If I find out who leaked the secret, I'll tear out your tendons and skin you alive!"
As he cursed, he prepared to tear open space and return to the Longma Demi-God Realm.
His divine consciousness was still relatively intact, and his physical body remained on Tianlong Star. He could still recover to his peak.
"Only Father's physical body..." Troubled emotions burst forth, yet his tone remained resolute.
"I can take it back eventually."
"It's the body of a Super God level powerhouse, after all. The Douluo Federation should show it some respect."
As he muttered, a spatial passage had already been torn open before him.
But Tianlong's divine senses warned him yet, yet, yet again...!
This danger came even faster!
His divine consciousness trembled as he saw a dragon who should have been dead.
"You're not dead!"
"You actually aren't dead!"
"How could you not be dead?!"
"Yes!" Di Tian stood across the void. "But you're about to die!"
