Snake God Clan's Scheme

"Beast God," Yun Ming said in a deep voice. "Then let me show you whether I have the strength to defeat you."

As he spoke, his ninth soul ring flashed fiercely.

In the distance, two figures stood watching the battle between Yun Ming and Di Tian. One of them was the old man who had spoken with Gu Yuena earlier.

Beside the old man stood a handsome young man.

He wore purple robes. His pupils were vertical slits, faintly gleaming gold.

Watching the battle in the distance, the young man slowly said, "That black dragon reached True God Level immediately after its breakthrough. Its previous accumulation must have been immense."

The old man nodded. "Indeed. The soul beasts of this world cannot become gods, so I gave that silver-haired woman the life force of an entire planet. Only then did those soul beasts complete their breakthroughs and become God Level."

The young man sneered disdainfully. "The life force of an entire middle-tier plane only helped a few low-bloodline soul beasts break through. How ridiculous."

"Still, that silver-haired woman's bloodline is quite good. Pure Dragon God Clan bloodline. Perfect—the position of my principal consort is still vacant."

"Young Master has taken a liking to her?" The old man smiled. "Would you like this old man to..."

"Not for now," the young man said slowly. "It is not yet time to truly awaken the Golden Eye of my Feathered Serpent God Clan. Do not touch her for now."

"Understood." The old man hesitated, but still said, "Young Master, why go to such lengths? You and I both know there is a way to obtain the Feathered Serpent God's Golden Eye the fastest!"

A glint flashed through the young man's eyes. "It is not yet time. That old fellow has gone into seclusion to ignite Emperor Fire and attain the Emperor realm, but it is merely a desperate gamble."

"Once that old thing falls, I will succeed him as the new generation's Divine Venerable of our clan!"

"At that time, my dear younger brother's Golden Eye will naturally become mine as well."

"Young Master is wise." The old man cupped his hands. "After all, among our clan, only Young Master became a Supreme God King at such a young age."

"Under Young Master's leadership, we will surely grow even more prosperous."

"Haha." The young man laughed. "Still, we must ignite Divine Fire as soon as possible. Without an Emperor-realm existence, our Snake God Clan will still remain beneath the Dragon God Clan!"

"Divine Emperor—there will not be long before I attain the Emperor realm!"

Sun Moon Federation. At this moment, the federal government was holding a meeting, with people seated all around a long table.

Before them, a massive light screen displayed scenes from Shrek City.

As they watched more and more soul beasts appear on the screen, they could no longer sit still.

One middle-aged man with a square face said, "Old Li, when will our troops reach Shrek City? There are already more and more soul beasts."

"If this continues, we may be facing a beast tide numbering in the millions!"

At the words "beast tide," everyone present felt a chill. Once a beast tide began, it would undoubtedly be terrifying.

Old Li fell silent for a while before saying, "Our troops will arrive in less than a day, but the armed forces we have deployed are currently insufficient to suppress these soul beasts."

"I propose that we immediately supply our armed forces with Rank 10 and above soul-guided artillery shells. Only then can we suppress these soul beasts as quickly as possible."

"Elder Li, I oppose your suggestion." A clear voice rang out. Everyone looked up to see a beautiful figure—it was Mo Lan.

Mo Lan continued, "Setting aside the fact that we have yet to determine these soul beasts' purpose, they may not have come as a threat to us."

"Once we use technological weapons of Rank 9 or above, it will become a fight to the death between us and the soul beasts."

"If I had been present earlier, I would not even have advised deploying the military directly."

As soon as she said this, the square-faced man spoke up. "From the sound of it, we should make no preparations at all? Do you know that soul beasts have always harbored hostility toward us?"

"If they truly intend to launch a beast tide, it will be too late to prepare afterward!"

Mo Lan said bluntly, "There are still Your Excellencies at the front lines, and every major city has armed forces. How could it be too late?"

"Womanly softness!" the square-faced man said. "Soul beasts and humans have borne hatred for countless years. Their large-scale appearance this time must have some purpose."

"Put away your womanly views at once!"

"Enough." At that moment, a voice came from the seat of honor. "Cang Lao, what do you think?"

An old man seated to the left of the seat of honor said, "According to news from the front lines, we likely do not yet possess the means to kill those soul beasts whose strength has broken through to God Level."

"Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Cang Lao fell silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Unless we deploy Rank 12 fixed-installation soul-guided artillery shells!"
