Di Tian respectfully knelt on one knee, his gaze fixed on the Lake of Life before him, and said in a deferential tone without the slightest hint of perfunctoriness:

"Lord, Di Tian requests an audience!"

"What is it?"

A majestic yet exceptionally pleasant voice came from the bottom of the lake.

"It concerns a matter of life and death for the future of our Soul Beast Clan!"

"Then come in and explain it in detail."

As soon as the words fell, a silver gate of light appeared before Di Tian. Without the slightest hesitation, he rose to his feet and stepped inside.

Within the dark space, there was not a trace of light, nor any sign of life. Only a silver giant dragon over a thousand meters long lay coiled there.

The silver dragon had a slender, graceful form that possessed an exceptional sense of beauty. Even in the form of a giant dragon, she gave off a feeling of perfection and breathtaking splendor.

Every silver scale on her body seemed to radiate dreamlike, multicolored light, making the silver dragon exceptionally beautiful.

Yet a massive wound upon the silver dragon's body ruined that hard-won beauty. Wisps of black-red baleful energy clung to the wound, constantly eroding the dragon's flesh. Only a large piece of green metal beside her, radiating green light, could offset it, though its effect appeared limited.

She was the current strongest being on Douluo Continent, the ruler of the Soul Beast Clan, the Dragon God's incarnation—the Silver Dragon King, inheritor of the Dragon God's spirit, elemental control, and world-shaking wisdom.

Di Tian walked before the Silver Dragon King, knelt on one knee, and respectfully called out, "Lord!"

"Speak. What matter was important enough to wake me?"

There was a trace of scrutiny and displeasure in the Silver Dragon King's voice.

"My lord, it is about the auspicious beast. Some time ago, the auspicious beast detected a peculiar destiny within the Star Dou Forest. Moreover, this destiny is intimately connected to the fortune of our soul beasts. It can be said to concern the life and death of the entire Soul Beast Clan! After repeated analysis, we concluded that the bearer of this destiny should be a human. I could not decide on my own, so I ask that you make the judgment!"

Di Tian quickly explained what the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had discovered to the Silver Dragon King, his lord, and placed the final decision in her hands. He believed that the Silver Dragon King, who had inherited the Dragon God's world-shaking wisdom, would surely choose the right path and lead the soul beasts back to their peak!

The Silver Dragon King did not speak after hearing him. Instead, she fell into deep thought. Di Tian remained in his previous posture, kneeling respectfully on the ground. He knew that his lord was using her world-shaking wisdom to deliberate and weigh the pros and cons.

After quite some time, the Silver Dragon King first told Di Tian to rise, then suddenly asked, "Is this human male or female?"

The moment those words left her mouth, Di Tian, who had just stood up, was stunned.

No, after thinking for so long, why was she suddenly concerned about whether this human was male or female? No, this had to be his lord precisely ruling out unfavorable factors for the feasibility of her plan.

Di Tian comforted himself in his heart. He had to trust in his lord's wisdom.

"This subordinate does not know. How much would this human's gender affect your plan, my lord?"

The Silver Dragon King did not answer. She merely looked at Di Tian, then gazed through the barrier of space at the ferocious beasts outside. Finally, her gaze returned to Di Tian.

"Di Tian, I have a world-shaking plan! We can befriend this human and provide assistance to a certain extent."

"My lord is wise."

The Silver Dragon King's words were like a reassuring pill for Di Tian. In his view, as long as it was his lord's decision, it had to be right.

"Since they possess such a Special Destiny, as long as we help them—even help them become a god—we will have an ally once they ascend. Although contact with the God Realm has now been severed, no one can say when it will return. Before my injuries heal, we must ensure that we have an ally to draw fire for me. This human with a Special Destiny is an excellent candidate!"

"But how can we ensure that this human with a Special Destiny will stand on our side in the future? What if they turn against us then? Wouldn't all our efforts have been for nothing?"

Di Tian still voiced the doubt in his heart. He suspected that the question his lord had asked earlier was related to the answer that would follow.

"Heh heh. From what I understand, the most important things to humans on Douluo Continent are nothing more than love, affection, things like 'you don't love me, I don't love you.' As long as we send someone from our side to make this person with a Special Destiny fall in love, wouldn't that ensure they would not betray us? Even if they cannot make them fall in love, they must keep watch over them and be able to grasp their movements at any time."

After hearing this, Di Tian felt that the plan seemed somewhat unreliable. His face was full of complicated emotions. But after reconsidering, his lord had inherited the Dragon God's wisdom. It had to be that he was too foolish to comprehend its profound depths.

Thus, Di Tian convinced himself and swallowed the words he had wanted to say.

"Then who should go?"

Upon hearing that, the Silver Dragon King fell into thought once more.

If the one with the Special Destiny was female...

Xiong Jun? No, he was too rough and burly. He would never please a girl.

Myriad Demon King? No, either. All day long, he was doing who knew what with grass, giving off a gloomy feeling.

Demon Spirit? Neither male nor female. No good!

Scarlet King? Even less so. No one would like a dog, would they?!

Then in the end, only Di Tian could go. As the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian had looks and strength. Not bad. Di Tian it was!

But what if the person was male?

How about I go personally? With my charm, I would definitely make that person love me to death. No! I cannot go. How could such a trivial matter require me? I am the ruler of the Soul Beast Clan—do I not care about my dignity? Besides, my injuries have not healed, so it would not be convenient for me to do more things.

Then there were only Zi Ji and Bi Ji!

Emmm, Zi Ji definitely would not do. The Dragon Clan only had a few stragglers left. Sending Zi Ji out too would be somewhat unbearable. After all, it was different from Di Tian—one would be bringing someone back, while the other would be sending someone away.

Then Bi Ji it would be! Compared to the Dragon Clan, whose numbers had already dwindled, the Emerald Swan Clan still had quite a few members. At worst, they could compensate the Emerald Swan Clan later.

Thus, the Silver Dragon King told Di Tian everything she had thought of and reviewed her plan as she spoke.

Perfect!

As expected of one who had inherited the Dragon God's world-shaking wisdom!

As the Silver Dragon King explained the plan to him, Di Tian's expression grew increasingly strange. From initially respectful, it turned into an exceptionally colorful spectacle.

"My lord, this..." Di Tian opened his mouth, somewhat hesitant to speak.

"Hm? Di Tian, are you questioning the feasibility of my plan?"

There was confusion at being questioned in the Silver Dragon King's voice. Since she spent so much time sleeping, she clearly did not know that Di Tian had feelings for Bi Ji, much less that they would become husband and wife ten thousand years later.

At this point in time, Di Tian did have some affection for Bi Ji, but there was currently nothing between them.

After all, there were no major battles in the Star Dou Forest now. Bi Ji's impression of Di Tian was probably only that he was the leader and the strongest being, while she likely felt only respect toward him.

The reason they later became husband and wife was most likely because the Spirit Pagoda slaughtered soul beasts on a massive scale to study Demon Spirits, forcing Di Tian to battle human powerhouses. Di Tian would certainly be injured in every battle, and Bi Ji, Star Dou's strongest healer, would surely treat him often.

As the two exchanged glances and grew closer, their feelings gradually warmed until they finally came together.

But for now, there was nothing!

"No, my lord's plan is certainly the best!"

Di Tian sighed softly and cut off the thoughts in his heart. As the captain of the Dragon God's guards, he had to strictly carry out his lord's decision.

"Fine. Since there is no objection, go out."

As she spoke, the silver gate of light appeared beside Di Tian. Di Tian bowed to the Silver Dragon King once more, then respectfully withdrew from the space.

Outside the space, several great ferocious beasts who had been summoned and had already learned the whole story from the auspicious beast saw Di Tian emerge. They hurriedly stepped before him.

"Di Tian, what did the lord say?"
