A Century-Long Plan for the Soul Beast Clan

One dreamless night passed.

After waking, Lin Wan'er packed her belongings and made sure there was not a single wrinkle in her clothes. Then, together with Gu Yuena, she secretly followed Di Tian to the palace where the royal family resided.

In the rear garden of the Sun Moon Empire, the long-waiting Fox Consort and Pink Lady caught sight of the purple-haired girl—the Soul Beast Co-Lord they had yearned for, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena—and hurriedly knelt. "Welcome, my liege!"

"Rise. There is no need for such formalities between us."

With the other Ferocious Beasts present, Gu Yuena exuded an imposing dominance. Compared with her usual taciturn demeanor, she appeared far more radiant, making Lin Wan'er, who was watching the show from the side, nod repeatedly.

Sure enough, Gu Yuena was a born leader. It was just a pity that she had applied her talents in the wrong place later on, leading the soul beast clan toward an irreversible end...

But now that Lin Wan'er had come to Douluo Continent, and the timeline had yet to reach Huo Gua's birth, would it not be a disgrace to the World Consciousness if she did not make proper arrangements? She truly was grateful to the World Consciousness for granting her a second life and a healthy body.

After all, she was not some God King who, after transmigrating, thought only of harming others for personal gain while showing no regard for old bonds.

Compared to Douluo Continent, Tang San would have been better suited to transmigrating into the era of the Nine Princes' Struggle for the Throne and becoming a cold-faced, cold-blooded emperor.

Poor Xiao Wu. She had been such an innocent and adorable soul beast in the beginning, only to be led astray by the atmosphere of a commoner academy's boys' dormitory. Later, she encountered the Shrek Academy of those days, with its terribly warped values, and even the pure and spotless Tang God King.

Alas, pitiful, regrettable, lamentable! Lin Wan'er and the others had come to this precious royal ground for no other reason than to let Fox Consort and Pink Lady know that Gu Yuena had awakened and could now take human form and travel across the two continents.

If there was any problem they could not resolve, they could ask for help instead of stubbornly shouldering it alone.

"This humble one understands. I wonder whether the people of my Star Dou Forest have been well lately?"

The human woman Pink Lady had transformed into was as noble as her name implied. Her clothes were all pink, while a circle of golden heart-shaped thread around her collar accentuated her lush, overflowing beauty.

Golden thread had also been used around the hem at her waist to embroider rose petals. To bring out the varying shades of pink, two thin, pale-pink layers of cloudlike gauze extended down from her waist, making her utterly seductive.

An ordinary human needed only one glance to fall into Pink Lady's pink eyes and become her puppet.

No wonder Fox Consort had chosen her as a helper. She intended to sow discord within the harmonious Sun Moon Royal Family, causing irreconcilable conflicts between the emperor and the princes.

"Your clan has already been looked after by Ferocious Beasts such as Scarlet King. No one will slaughter your people on a large scale."

Di Tian answered coldly. He had no interest in this type of soul beast, so his attitude was far from pleasant.

Pink Lady sensed Di Tian's attitude, yet her expression did not change. With a smiling bow, she said, "Thank you, Lord Beast God Di Tian. This humble one is endlessly grateful."

"Enough with the empty pleasantries. We came to the Sun Moon Continent for two reasons. First, to closely observe the Soul Tools in their hands, which rival the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons. Second, to have you infiltrate the upper ranks as quickly as possible, so that the Four Sects can smoothly cross into the Sun Moon Empire, assume new identities, and join our forces in the future under the name of the Heaven Dou Empire."

As the decision-maker, Gu Yuena stated the purpose of their trip. After instructing Pink Lady, who excelled at schemes and bringing ruin to nations, to properly plot against members of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family, she took the lead in leaving the heavily perfumed rear garden.

Seeing Gu Yuena leave first, Lin Wan'er could not exactly stay behind to chat at length with the already familiar Fox Consort about future plans and developments. After hurriedly relaying Scarlet King's message, she followed suit and left the rear garden.

Only Di Tian remained where he was, without moving.

Fox Consort turned her upturned eyes toward the Beast God Di Tian and sweetly purred, "Lord Beast God, aren't you leaving with our liege? Are you planning to stay and keep us company?"

Unmoved in the slightest by Fox Consort's charm, Di Tian remained silent for a long while before leaving behind a single sentence. "Scarlet King misses you very much. Though a hundred or ten thousand years are insignificant to us, even to the soul beast clan's grand revival plan, the Star Dou Great Forest is our home. Come home soon, Fox Consort."

Having said what was on his mind, Di Tian feared exposing his vulnerable side. He concealed his aura and flew toward where Lin Wan'er and Gu Yuena were, leaving before Fox Consort could even show her astonishment.

"Lady Fox Consort, you..."

Pink Lady, who had always been adept at reading the room, cautiously glanced at Fox Consort. She did not dare leave first to seek out her lover, the prince, and slander his brothers and sisters, as well as the current ruler of the Sun Moon Continent.

"It's nothing. I rarely see Di Tian say such things to anyone else. For a moment, I could not help feeling a little sad."

Fox Consort's eyes reddened slightly.

She did not care about being a human Soul Master's nominal consort, and Scarlet King did not care either.

But after being separated from the Star Dou Great Forest and her husband for so long, she inevitably felt lonely deep into the night. Days spent without even another soul beast by her side to talk to were indeed difficult to endure.

"Lady Fox Consort, as long as we hasten the plan to infiltrate the Sun Moon Royal Family, we will return soon."

Pink Lady, who had not developed human emotions, did not quite understand Fox Consort's melancholy. Yet she did not dare reveal it, so she could only suppress her strange feelings and comfort the tearful Fox Consort.

After staying in the Sun Moon Empire for nearly a month and becoming familiar with the production process for most low-level Soul Tools, Lin Wan'er returned to the Star Dou Great Forest carrying a burlap sack full of Soul Tools that Jiang Bai, a Seventh-Level Soul Guidance Device Master from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, had crafted day and night.

She summoned the Four Sects that had once helped the Tang Sect accelerate Hidden Weapon production. Pointing at the Soul Tools laid out on the ground, she began a new round of learning, production, and manufacturing plans.

The purpose was to lay a solid foundation for the descendants of the Four Sects, while also preventing their disciples from becoming targets when traveling outside, once they no longer had the Tang Sect's name to protect them.

After all, any strange Soul Master capable of repeatedly traveling to and from the Star Dou Great Forest without being hunted or captured by soul beasts had either encountered a great fortuitous opportunity or, like Tang San and Tang Hao back then, earned the favor of soul beasts and possessed the potential to become a god. (Not.)

Thus, the settled Four Sects' Soul Masters began studying day and night, while soul beasts capable of taking human form—and soul beasts more than ten thousand years old—also began the transformation plan.

With Emperor Willow soothing their souls, Lin Wan'er's Soraka Martial Soul's Wish healing them, and the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena imparting the will of the Dragon Clan...

The Soul Spirit Plan! The Home-Stealing Plan! The Sun Moon Continent Renaming Plan! The Star Dou Great Forest's invasion plan for Douluo Continent! They officially began.

Over ten years, a hundred years, within a century, some Soul Masters of the Four Sects completed symbiotic contract arrangements with soul beasts. Some Soul Masters who lacked talent but whose souls could barely be modified completed the Reincarnation Plan.

The tiny remaining number of Soul Masters who could complete neither of the first two plans fell into eternal sleep within the Star Dou Great Forest, their hearts filled with joy and a few indescribable regrets.

Their souls were purified by the Spirit of Nature and sent to be reborn into good families, forever severing their ties with the Four Sects and even with soul beasts.
