At Worst, I'll Sink Douluo Planet!

At Yu Muchen's words of horror, the Federal Council end connected through the earpiece abruptly fell silent, like the eternal desolation of a cosmic vacuum.

After the silence had stretched on for quite a while, furious shouts suddenly rang out:

"God of War Yu!"

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

"Didn't Di Tian already take human form and start cultivating all over again?!"

"How can he still keep breaking through?!"

"Gulp~" Yu Muchen could not help swallowing, his face bitter.

To be honest, even he himself did not want to believe his own judgment.

But as a True God, it was very difficult for him to judge wrongly.

"I hope I'm spouting nonsense too."

"But reality doesn't spout nonsense."

"The million-year Soul Beast King."

"Di Tian's cultivation has broken through to a million years."

"And it should have happened while he was still in the state of re-cultivating after taking human form."

Yu Muchen's second confirmation made the Federal Council fall silent once more.

If things truly were as Yu Muchen said, if Di Tian truly had broken through to a million years and truly could threaten a True God...

Then...

Did that mean the balance between humans and soul beasts had returned to how it was ten thousand years ago?

Di Tian possessed the strength to wage a great battle against humanity's top experts.

The current federal motherships, just like the twelfth-rank fixed soul-guided cannon shells from ten thousand years ago, seemed clumsy when compared to individual living beings.

Ten thousand years ago, the order to completely level the Star Dou Forest had not been given precisely because they had feared Di Tian would smash the pot to pieces and move the battlefield into the human world.

That was a loss humanity could not endure.

What about now?

The situation was more or less the same as ten thousand years ago.

If they made a move against Di Tian, Di Tian might truly have the ability to move the battlefield into the human world again.

True God powerhouses waging a life-and-death battle in the human world.

Just imagining that scene made every councilor feel a chill run down their spine.

Moreover...

Internally, hearts were not united. Shrek and the Tang Sect very much wanted to take Di Tian in as their dog, then drive him to tear into the Federation.

Externally, everyone was on edge. The matter of killing the Tianlong Seat had caused the Longma Demi-God Realm to mass troops at the borders of the star system, and a great war could break out at any moment.

Making a move against Di Tian would very likely trigger a chain reaction, with internal troubles and external threats erupting all at once.

Not a single person in the Federation dared issue this order that might lead the entire Douluo Demi-God Realm toward destruction.

Even though Di Tian had regained the oppressive presence of the ancient era, even though Di Tian had made many people feel fear and wariness, no one dared give an order targeting Di Tian.

"Sigh~" An aged voice came from the earpiece. "I'll make a trip."

"I'll meet this 'old friend.'"

"After confirming Di Tian's situation again, the council can make its decision."

At that moment.

Yu Muchen's brow, which had furrowed because of Di Tian's sudden breakthrough, gradually began to relax.

"Senior Purgatory."

"If you can come, that would be best."

On this side, the Federal Council, which had been arguing endlessly, entered a halftime break because of one sentence from the Purgatory True God, Qiangu Qingfeng.

On the other side.

Elf Planet.

Inside a cave residence where the three powers of darkness, light, and life intertwined.

Di Tian sat atop a snow-lotus platform.

A dragon-egg-shaped barrier enveloped the outside.

He was indeed re-cultivating after taking human form.

And he had indeed broken through to a million years of cultivation.

The two did not conflict.

The humans on Douluo Continent were blessed by heaven, and by extension, any soul beast that formed a connection with humans could obtain one chance to escape the workings of fate and gain the blessing of karmic law.

When the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, with his nine hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation, became Tang San's soul ring, he turned into a million-year crimson-gold soul ring.

When the Ice Empress became Huo Yuhao's second martial soul, she clearly had not undergone the four-hundred-thousand-year ferocious beast heavenly tribulation, yet her accompanying first soul ring was four hundred thousand years old.

The immortal herb Tulip of Romance clearly did not possess two hundred thousand years of ferocious beast cultivation, yet when facing Tang Wulin, it openly said that after becoming a soul spirit, it could become a ferocious beast soul spirit without any obstacle.

There were countless examples like these.

Whenever soul beasts became entangled with humans, the chance to rise another step from the very peak always followed close behind.

And now.

Di Tian had seized this opportunity during the process of transforming and cultivating anew.

From the peak, one step higher!

A realm that should not have existed within the soul beast cultivation system—a million-year soul beast!

The reason it was called a realm that should not have existed was because under normal circumstances, nine hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation was the summit of the soul beast cultivation system.

The normal next step was becoming a god.

However, under the curse of "soul beasts cannot become gods," a realm that should never have existed had been forcibly squeezed into being.

Just like the Douluo Plane ten thousand years ago.

The Divine Realm did not have enough divine positions to support those who ascended, so it actively suppressed the limit-breaking powerhouses of the Douluo Plane.

Thus, a realm that should not have existed was born within the soul master cultivation system—quasi-god.

It had not existed in the era of the Unrivaled Tang Sect or before, nor had it existed after Douluo Continent ascended to a demi-god realm capable of accommodating god-level powerhouses.

It had existed only in the Dragon King era, when becoming a god was suppressed by both the Divine Realm and the plane.

Quasi-gods—deities walking among mortals.

As long as the environment allowed it, they could become gods on the spot.

Di Tian's million years of cultivation was a similar situation: a deity walking among mortals.

Relying on his terrifying million years of cultivation, he had also completed the condensation of a soul beast's third soul core—the Spatial Soul Core.

An unprecedented soul beast with three soul cores.

A million years of cultivation.

One super-divine artifact and two top-tier divine artifacts on him.

The Dragon God's Tear hung before his chest.

At this instant.

Di Tian had a feeling that even against a true god-level powerhouse, he was confident he could raise his blade and strike them head-on.

"Huff, huff—"

Turbid air moved through Di Tian's chest and nasal cavity as he breathed.

He exhaled the stale air that had been suppressed for ten thousand years and took in the clean, easy air of the outside world.

"At last... I have a little strength to protect myself."

Compared to ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts transforming and cultivating anew, ferocious beasts had many special traits when doing the same.

When the Snow Empress transformed and cultivated anew, her origin had been sealed, not vanished, and she could self-destruct at any time.

He was even more special than the Snow Empress.

After transforming and cultivating anew, as long as he had not ascended and become a god, he could give up his renewed cultivation at any time and revert to his million-year soul beast body.

With three soul cores within him, he had been granted perfectly smooth, effortless control.

Di Tian very much wanted to say, "I lack nothing now," and then force his way out of the Douluo Demi-God Realm.

But that thought appeared for only an instant.

In the next moment, Di Tian took the initiative to stand down.

There were true gods watching outside at all times. Even possessing the God-Hidden Cloak would not help.

As soon as he disappeared, the Federation's army would probably surround him.

After all, he would be using the body of a million-year soul beast to battle true gods against the odds. It was impossible for him to be invincible among true gods, and the Federation had at least more than ten true god-level powerhouses.

The best result.

Would merely be moving the battlefield to the human world, sinking several major administrative planets aside from Douluo Home Planet, and then drawing in the enemies of the Longma Demi-God Realm.

Letting the entire Douluo Demi-God Realm be buried with him, that was all.

His clenched fist loosened once more.

But madness began to spill through his eyes as he raised his head and gazed toward Yu Muchen in the starfield near Elf Planet.

The same madness seeped into the murmur at the corner of his mouth:

"I hope you can be rational."

"That way, I could be a little more rational too."

"We would all have a bright future."

Whether before taking human form to cultivate anew or after, before he became a god, he could still transform back into his million-year soul beast body.

If the Federation truly feared that he, as the king of soul beasts, could not be controlled, and stopped at nothing to put him to death...

Then there was nothing to discuss.

If they did not want him to live well, then none of them would!

At worst...

He would sink Douluo Planet!
