Has the Dragon God's Brain Really Rusted?

While Xia Liang inscribed the formation, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion whispered to Di Tian at the side. The other ferocious beasts had all been sent by Di Tian to stand guard around the perimeter.

"Di Tian, he shouldn't be a bad person."

As she said this, her eyes kept drifting toward the meat steaks beside her.

Di Tian: "..."

If you weren't staring at the meat while saying that, I might have believed you.

Di Tian looked at the steak. It did not carry the aura of any soul beast he knew, and it might not even have come from a soul beast. Yet the power within it was immense. If the auspicious beast ate it, it could strengthen her. And there was that blood as well...

The power within the blood seemed to share the same origin as the meat, but Di Tian simply could not figure out which beast race it belonged to.

"Done. Di Tian, will you oversee it, or should I?"

Having finished drawing the formation, Xia Liang looked toward Di Tian in the distance.

"I'll do it."

Di Tian replied. Overseeing it did not mean activating the formation. Once completed, the formation could automatically carry out the Soul Spirit Contract. The overseer's role was to inspect whether there were any issues with the contract terms.

"Xiao Xiao, it's at the ten-thousand-year level. If it hurts, endure it."

"Understood, Senior."

Then, Xiao Xiao and the Golden Dragon Ao stepped onto the formation, each standing on one of its formation nodes.

Golden light flickered as the contract formation activated. A strange power linked Xiao Xiao and the Golden Dragon Ao together.

As the overseer, Di Tian inspected every clause of the contract, ensuring that each one applied equally to both sides.

This Soul Spirit Contract was not the one created by that lovesick Huo Yuhao from the original story. After coming up with the basic contract method back then, he had gone to the Divine Realm in search of Tang Wutong.

The current contract method had been personally created by Electrolux, a top-tier mage. Both sides were absolutely equal, unlike the original, where soul beasts were driven to extinction.

About half an hour later, the Soul Spirit Contract ended. A black Spirit Ring rose from behind Xiao Xiao, and a flash of gilded light appeared in her right hand.

Golden Dragon Ao right arm bone, with the soul skill Golden Dragon Ao's Fury.

All power converged into her right hand. With a single punch, even a Soul King would be injured. Unfortunately, with Xiao Xiao's current reserves, she could only unleash one strike. Afterward, she would enter a weakened state.

Ten-thousand-year soul skill, Dragon Suppression Cauldron. It released suppressive waves that bore down on all enemies present, a large-scale control skill.

Ten-thousand-year Soul Spirit, Golden Dragon Ao. It emerged from the Spirit Ring and took the form of a palm-sized turtle.

Then, the Golden Dragon Ao, now a Soul Spirit, walked over to Di Tian and began communicating with him.

"Because it has just entered a human Spirit Ring, it needs several days for its power to recover?"

Through their spiritual link, Di Tian learned of the Golden Dragon Ao's current condition. It was exactly as Xia Liang had described.

"How is it?"

Once the two beasts finished communicating, Xia Liang asked.

"It truly works. But are you sure you want us soul beasts to participate?"

Di Tian asked. Once the Soul Spirit Method became widespread, the relationship between beastkind and humanity would be completely rewritten. For soul beasts, it was indeed a path to survival, but it also meant, in another sense, handing their lifeline over to humans. Once humans mastered this, beastkind would seemingly have no choice but to follow them.

"That's why humans and soul beasts must both take part in this. Otherwise, there will still be another great war in the future."

Xia Liang said. Both sides could only develop together; neither could dominate alone. More importantly, in this world, Xia Liang had no particular fondness for either humans or soul beasts. Or rather, he simply did not care.

"I agree with what you said, but we won't be able to coexist with humans anytime soon."

Di Tian said. The very sight of humans gave him a headache.

"That's fine. I'll find a human family to deal with the humans. You can remain behind them as support."

Xia Liang said. Under the current circumstances, all he needed was to find a puppet family. Even ordinary people would do. He could let them handle things, and if anyone came looking to die, Di Tian could kill them with a single slap.

"By the way, Di Tian, have you seen a strange Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? One that just underwent its tribulation."

Xia Liang suddenly remembered the hundred-thousand-year zombie he had made earlier and tossed into this world. If nothing unexpected had happened, Di Tian should have sensed it.

"I have. But it could not communicate. It was already hunted down by some humans carrying an evil aura."

Di Tian replied. Scarlet King had gone over to communicate with it at the time, but it seemed to have no intelligence and immediately attacked Scarlet King. Seeing that communication was impossible, Scarlet King left. Later, they sensed several human soul masters approaching. That strange Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had likely been hunted.

After all, it was not one of their own Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. It had no intelligence and had been wandering around the outskirts, so Di Tian had not bothered to save it.

"Mm, is that so?"

As Xia Liang considered this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, her mouth covered in grease, walked over to his side.

"Human, do you have any more of that meat and blood?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's three eyes sparkled. She had finished all that meat in only a few bites, and those bottles of blood had been treated as little drinks. It was nowhere near enough.

"Your energy is practically overflowing already. You can still eat?"

By the rules of Douluo Continent, this was the flesh and blood of a soul beast several hundred thousand years old. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had eaten so much that her body should already have been full of energy. If she ate any more, she might burst to death.

"Aren't you leaving? Leave some behind, okay~"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion said. Judging by the situation, Xia Liang was about to leave. Once he left this time, who knew when she would get to eat this meat again?

"Mm, we'll talk about it later. I'll probably come often in the future."

"Fine."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was deeply disappointed. No more food~~~

"This meat probably isn't from this world, is it?"

Di Tian said. He had now confirmed that Xia Liang was god-level, but the power within him did not originate from the Divine Realm Di Tian knew.

With Di Tian's knowledge, he naturally knew that there were other worlds beyond those governed by the Divine Realm. Thus, Xia Liang's appearance only surprised him slightly.

"Mm. Don't worry, I have no thoughts about the conflicts between beastkind and the Divine Realm."

"That is good."

Di Tian nodded, then looked toward Xiao Xiao. More precisely, he looked at the little bird on her shoulder.

Noticing Di Tian's gaze, Xiao Xiao instantly lowered her head. Please, this was the number one being on the list of ferocious beasts! Xiao Xiao was scared!!

"Senior Azure Phoenix."

Azure Phoenix: "..."

He can't see me. He can't see me...

The current Azure Phoenix was no match for Di Tian. If he decided to settle old scores, she would have to run.

"Senior Azure Phoenix should have only just awakened. Congratulations on surviving the calamity from back then. Is there anything you wish to ask?"

Seeing that Azure Phoenix did not respond, Di Tian said nothing more. He merely congratulated her on surviving the Dragon God's great calamity of old.

"Do you know who placed the restriction?"

Seeing that she could not hide any longer, Azure Phoenix had no choice but to ask the question that interested her most.

"I don't."

Di Tian nodded in reply. He truly did not know.

"Do you think it was the Dragon God? Has its brain rusted?"

Azure Phoenix had now determined that the Dragon God's brain had definitely rusted. Di Tian also had that same restriction inside him. If it had been another god, it would have been impossible for them to restrain Di Tian so completely. After all, he was the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.

Yet this restriction had tightly sealed all the power in his body. Other than a god of the Dragon Clan, who could achieve such a thing? This was practically a thief inside the house!

"Even so, Lord Dragon God must have had his reasons..."

After all, he was the god of Di Tian's own race. No matter what, Di Tian had to defend him a little.

"Dragon God wisdom, my ass. That old bastard went looking to die and dragged beastkind along with him. If that isn't idiocy, what is?"

Azure Phoenix did not care in the slightest and relentlessly tore into the Dragon God. Di Tian listened from the side, not knowing what he should say.

Still, things were fine now. In Di Tian's heart, the wisdom of the Silver Dragon King would surely lead beastkind to its peak once more!

"Alright, I've asked what I wanted. I'm leaving. Take this. My true body is still awakening, so if anything happens, come find me directly."

After venting about the Dragon God, Azure Phoenix used spatial fluctuations to transport an azure feather before Di Tian.

Seeing the feather fly toward him, Di Tian reached out and caught it.

"Thank you, Senior Azure Phoenix."

Di Tian thanked her. After all, she was the only surviving beast god now.

"Hmph. I do hope your Dragon Clan is revived."

Azure Phoenix said. In her heart, she still hoped for the Dragon Clan's revival.

"It certainly will be. But when that time comes, please show mercy, Senior. Do not target true dragon bloodlines."

Hearing Azure Phoenix speak of the Dragon Clan's revival, Di Tian's mouth twitched, and the claw wounds on his back, which had long since healed, began to ache faintly.

Azure Phoenix was generally omnivorous and ate most beasts, but the one standing before him loved eating dragons, and she was extremely fast...

Back then, she had attacked the Dragon Clan many times, even provoking the Dragon God into acting personally. Yet she had still escaped after being severely injured and vanished without a trace afterward.

"Then we'll be leaving as well. Once everything is ready in a few days, we'll come find you again."

Xia Liang said. Next, he needed to find suitable humans to manage the Spirit Pagoda. He knew nothing about that sort of thing.

"Mm, farewell."

Di Tian nodded. Beside him, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was reluctant to see them go. Her meat!!
