Terrifying Prospects

When Di Tian appeared here in the form he usually used, he was startled at first, frightened by the dense crowd of Soul Masters. Someone who did not know better might have thought he had entered a nest of Soul Masters.

He calmly observed first and found that some people seemed to have appeared here for the first time, just like him.

From the conversations of those present, he could tell that they were actually communicating.

A faint ripple arose in Di Tian's heart. These Soul Masters were having meaningful exchanges; they were not illusions fabricated by the Dream.

"Could Soul Masters already possess a means of communicating in dreams? Is this what Lord Gu Yue wanted me to see?"

Di Tian could not help but ponder. After all, no Soul Master could have pulled him into a Dream within the Life Forbidden Zone. He had always assumed Lord had done it.

He silently observed the Soul Masters here. The more he looked at this place, the more alarmed he became.

This place was far too real.

He had stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for so long. Had the human world already developed to such an extent?

Just as he was still observing, a hand suddenly slapped Di Tian on the shoulder, nearly forcing him to unleash his ultimate move.

"Di Tian."

A voice sounded immediately afterward.

Di Tian turned around and frowned at the blonde girl before him, who somehow knew his name. He looked her over carefully.

"Beast of Auspice, is this your doing?"

Di Tian finally understood that this was not Lord's intention at all!

Though the person before him was in human form, for some reason, Di Tian could still sense her original power within this Dream. She was unmistakably a Soul Beast. Looking at her appearance, he could also see traces of the Beast of Auspice.

"That's right. Come on, I'll show you around."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately headed toward the city gates. Di Tian stood where he was, his gaze flickering slightly. After thinking for a moment, he followed her.

After all, this was only a Dream. He had nothing to fear.

"What place is this?"

Walking beside the Beast of Auspice, Di Tian observed his surroundings as he asked.

"Purple Heaven City, a Dream Space.

A gathering place for human Soul Masters. They can communicate here across thousands of miles, so it's very convenient."

The Beast of Auspice was clearly very familiar with this place.

"How do you know so much? And... how did you get in?"

Di Tian frowned. The Beast of Auspice had clearly remained in the Life Forbidden Zone just like him, so how did she know so much about the outside world?

"I have my own methods."

The Beast of Auspice turned her head slightly and blinked. Some things were not suitable to explain too clearly; after all, they were outside.

Di Tian immediately understood that she was referring to her Eye of Destiny.

But that explanation did not pass muster with Di Tian.

He immediately thought of how the Beast of Auspice had suddenly rushed out of the Life Forbidden Zone a few days ago, then sent away half the Star Dou Great Forest's fortune, and now had arranged this as well. He did not believe for a second that these things were unrelated.

But since he was already here, he naturally intended to carefully observe what the Beast of Auspice was truly thinking.

He immediately followed beside her, entering Purple Heaven City with the crowd.

The roads here were broad, so there was no congestion.

The two soon arrived at the bustling Commercial Street.

Although the Public Beta had opened, the shops from the Closed Beta had been retained.

The place was extremely lively at the moment.

"Wait here. I'm going in to get something to eat."

The Beast of Auspice looked excited. Everything here was incredibly novel to a Beast of Auspice who had spent so many years in the Life Forbidden Zone.

She entered the crowded McIntosh. When she emerged a while later, she was holding two Cones and a Takeout Bag.

Today was the grand opening promotion, and McIntosh's food was free.

"Here, this is food. Give it a try!"

The Beast of Auspice handed one Cone to Di Tian, then quickly tore open the wrapper herself and pulled out a Burger, which she began devouring.

Di Tian accepted it with slight disdain. How could a noble Black Dragon King like him think highly of human food?

He either did not eat at all, or he ate powerful Soul Beasts. He hunted them not to satisfy his appetite, but as the grace of a superior toward an inferior.

Still, for the Beast of Auspice's sake, he gave it a taste.

The icy sweetness that entered his mouth made him frown deeply.

This thing...

When the Beast of Auspice turned to look, the Cone in Di Tian's hand had already vanished.

"Huh? Did you throw it away? I thought it tasted pretty good."

The Beast of Auspice was somewhat stunned. She had not expected Di Tian to reject human food so strongly. But considering Di Tian's status among Soul Beasts, it was normal for him to disdain human food.

She took a bite of her Burger. The plump, juicy beef, paired with cheese and egg yolk sauce, burst across her tongue. A blissful expression appeared on the Beast of Auspice's face.

Di Tian watched from the side, his throat unconsciously moving slightly, as though he were concealing something.

"Ahem, what's that in your hand?"

Di Tian spoke as if chatting casually.

"It's called a Burger. These are Chicken Wings, and this is Iced Cola. They taste great. Do you really not want to try them?"

"Human food? Hm, then I'll try it. I should learn something about them, after all."

Di Tian frowned and spoke with great reluctance.

"Really? Then I'll get you another serving!"

Hearing Di Tian relent, the Beast of Auspice temporarily handed the things in her hands to him, then quickly ran into McIntosh.

Di Tian watched the Beast of Auspice's departing back and felt a fragrance constantly wafting into his nose. This time, his throat visibly trembled, followed by a faint gulp.

"My computing power is many times stronger than Satellite AI's. And I don't just exist within the Dream Space and the Operating System—I can also appear in reality."

Fate AI said with a proud expression.

Li Ming could not help but be startled by those words. After the Chip upgrade, Satellite AI's computing power had already increased by a huge margin. Yet this Fate AI's computing power was actually even stronger than Satellite AI's. That was somewhat terrifying.

Moreover, it could appear in reality. It was no longer merely a string of Code, but a genuine living being.

"My computational capabilities are far stronger than Satellite AI's. We are not on the same level.

For example, with Self-Created Soul Skills, I can directly deduce suitable Self-Created Soul Skills based on their Martial Souls and Soul Power."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion directly demonstrated what it called its powerful computational abilities.

Li Ming could not help but be stunned.

Even Satellite AI had to continuously deduce a Soul Master's Self-Created Soul Skills according to their adjustments. Progress could only be accumulated bit by bit.

But now, Fate AI could directly deduce that progress to one hundred percent. That was simply too powerful.

"At the same time, I can undertake more complex and advanced research tasks, gather information that Satellite AI cannot collect, and complete tasks it cannot complete.

For example, researching the nature of Martial Souls, Soul Rings, and Soul Cores.

Finding methods to affect Martial Souls, or discovering factors that could cause them to mutate and awaken.

Analyzing Soul Rings. In my view, Soul Rings are merely a type of Code, constructed from immense Soul Power and different structures. With in-depth research, there is a certain possibility that they can be imitated and programmed.

Soul Cores likewise possess certain structures. If you let me study them, I may be able to fully understand their structures and simulate them in advance."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's words completely stunned Li Ming. He stared wide-eyed at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, suddenly feeling that he was about to strike it rich!
