Defying Fate

Break free from their embrace.

Yao Shi then gently comforted them and said.

"Actually, I was indeed dead during this period. Although I was still conscious, I couldn't control my body and was mostly drifting around in different places until just now when my body was able to solidify and I was resurrected."

"Moreover, it wasn't that I didn't want to come in, but rather that in my state at the time, I couldn't use any of my Soul Skill, including this Pure Land space."

Huai Yu slowly recounted his situation to them, and the three beasts and two spirits inside listened quietly.

Of course, he could not speak of the All Living Beings' Prayers.

"Yao Shi, can you tell us why that deity wanted to kill you back then?"

"I really can't understand why a god would personally take action to annihilate a Four Rings Soul Ancestor like you."

Ice Empress looked at Yao Shi with a puzzled expression, and Snow Empress and the others were equally puzzled.

Yao Shi shook his head upon hearing this.

"I don't know either. As you all know, when he first appeared, he said I was Calamity Star or something, and then without warning, he drew his sword and killed us all."

Ice Empress and Snow Empress nodded in agreement.

Indeed, they had been following Yao Shi for some time, and they hadn't discovered that Yao Shi had done anything to harm the continent. Just when they were about to go home to visit their families, a deity suddenly appeared, calling him Calamity Star and then killing him. It was utterly inexplicable.

Thinking about it, they were also very angry.

"Yao Shi, don't worry, you're resurrected now. If that deity senses your reappearance, Xue'er and I will help you take care of him."

As he spoke, Ice Empress patted his chest, looking quite pleased with himself.

"We've now cultivated to the God Level as well."

"In fact, we owe a great deal to the continuous energy provided by your space, Yao Shi. Furthermore, being cut off from the outside world and free from the constraints of the Douluo Laws, we were able to successfully reach the God Level."

Yao Shi entered the Pure Land, he already knew their current cultivation levels. Except for Han Xiao and Little Spirit, who remained unchanged, Ice Empress and Snow Empress had both reached level 100, and Xiao Bai's Soul Beast age had also broken through to the level of 400,000 years.

They made remarkable progress in just one year.

Hearing Ice Empress's words, Yao Shi expressed his relief, but still shook his head and said...

"While you have indeed reached the God Level, even if you join forces, you still cannot defeat him."

Ice Empress was somewhat unconvinced upon hearing this, "Why? Do you think that even if Xue'er and I team up, we can't beat him alone?"

Yao Shi then slowly explained to them.

"Although you have now reached the God Level, there are still different levels within the God Level, just like Soul Master."

"You and the Snow Empress have only just broken through to the God Level, barely reaching the God Official. Above God Official are the Third-Level, Second-Level, Level One God, and God King."

"The deity who attacked us back then was the supreme God King, so even if you join forces, you cannot cause him the slightest harm."

Hearing what Yao Shi said, the two women became increasingly shocked. They never expected that becoming a god, which Soul Beast dreamed of, was only just beginning.

"Then, what do we do? You've been resurrected now. Are we just going to wait for him to come back and kill you again?"

Ice Empress felt somewhat disappointed when he learned that even after reaching the God Level he had always dreamed of, he still couldn't defeat the enemy he had faced before, and that Yao Shi might be killed again.

Snow Empress also sighed deeply, "Alas, I thought that after reaching the God Level, I could take Xiao Yao Shi to complete the revenge, but I never expected that the enemy back then would be such a terrifying existence."

Don't worry.

Yao Shi then spoke.

"Actually, what's here now isn't my true body. Even if this body is killed, I can keep creating a new one."

He smiled at them as he spoke.

Yao Shi's words once again shocked them greatly.

What do you mean by saying your current body isn't your true self?

What does it mean that even if a body like this dies, you can still continuously regenerate?

Feeling the energy fluctuations emanating from Yao Shi's body, which far surpassed those of Titled Douluo, they were filled with disbelief.

Do you remember that a year ago, before you used our abilities, you were just a Soul Ancestor? How come you've become so unfamiliar to us after dying once?

If a mere clone he conjures possesses power far exceeding that of Titled Douluo, wouldn't his true body be able to easily defeat that God King from back then?

Gurgle.

"Yao Shi, are you really not a descendant of some deity?"

Ice Empress swallowed hard and asked tentatively.

No, it isn't.

Yao Shi shrugged and said matter-of-factly.

"Don't try to fool me because I'm not well-educated. You have such heaven-defying abilities, you died once and became so strong, and you know so much about the Divine Realm. And you still say you're not a god?"

"Hehe, I'll explain all that later. I have something to do, so I'll head out now."

As he spoke, he prepared to return to the outside world.

Yao Shi didn't bother to explain to them that he had only come in to check if they were alright.

"Etc!"

"We've been cooped up here for a year, we need to get out."

Just Yao Shi was about to leave, Ice Empress immediately called him back.

Yao Shi stopped what he was doing, glanced at them, and said, "It seems like you'll have to suppress your cultivation levels when you go out, otherwise you might keep getting struck by lightning... no, even if you suppress them, it seems like you'll still get struck."

"You know that Soul Beast cannot become gods. Now that you have cultivated to the God Level in the Pure Land, you can already be considered divine beasts. The Douluo Plane will never allow beings like you to exist."

???

"What did you say!!"

Ice Empress walked forward in disbelief, shaking Yao Shi's body repeatedly.

I originally thought that after cultivating to God Level here, I could go out and take revenge, but the enemy is God King, so revenge is temporarily out of the question.

Unexpectedly, now that he wants to leave, he is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao because he is too powerful.

How could Soul Beast be so unlucky?

Seeing Ice Empress like this, Yao Shi comforted them.

"Don't worry, in a while, the Douluo Continent may undergo a Plane Upgrade, and you should be able to leave then."

"How long is 'a while'?"

"Soon."

Yao Shi then spoke in riddles and immediately left.

"..."

Ice Empress, however, refused to believe it. Seeing that Yao Shi had left in suspense, they immediately followed him out.

"Bing'er, no..."

Snow Empress was about to dissuade her, but she was too late.

We went outside.

Looking at the clear sky, Ice Empress's initial tension vanished.

"There's not even a dark cloud, so where would the thunder come from?"

Seeing that Ice Empress had followed him out, Yao Shi quickly distanced himself from her.

"Look at your head again."

Upon hearing this, Ice Empress looked up.

Boom!

A loud bang rang out, and a bolt of lightning struck her without warning.

Although it didn't cause her much harm, her entire body was charred black.

"There aren't any dark clouds... so where did this lightning come from..."

Before she could finish speaking, another bolt of lightning struck without warning.

Ice Empress believed it now and immediately returned to the Pure Land. Although the blows wouldn't cause much damage, it was really annoying that Kakeru kept hitting him.

"Eh."

"It's time to go back to Bluestone Town."
