Continent's First Ultimate Healing Power

"Holy Maiden, you're imagining things far too beautifully. Look—even the Shura God, the God Realm's pure and upright enforcer, has swept the Star Dou Great Forest several times with his divine eye because of the Auspicious Beast's birth."

Di Tian let out a cold laugh and said meaningfully, "Even a god like him doesn't understand how to follow the rules. He wants there to be no one in the God Realm stronger than himself. Do you think there are still any good humans who believe in soul beasts?"

An icy, bone-piercing gaze, as cold and sinister as a venomous snake, roamed over Lin Wan'er's body.

The gnashing hatred in Di Tian's voice made Lin Wan'er fall silent for a moment. Perhaps human nature was inherently evil after all.

Her throat felt a little dry. The image of the soul beast race reduced to meat on the chopping block of soul masters surfaced in Di Tian's eyes. Lin Wan'er instinctively activated her soul power, summoning the Star Guardian Staff into her palm.

A protective ballad from the Star Guardian echoed in her ears. Gradually finding the courage to stand against him, Lin Wan'er no longer argued with Di Tian over the right and wrong of soul masters in the past. Instead, she focused on the present—and the future.

"That's why I came, and why I brought a solution. I believe in you, in ordinary soul beasts, and in the god who will bring hope to soul beasts in this world—a true enforcer, a gentle and kind Level One God."

At that moment, Lin Wan'er inexplicably wished Huo Gua would be born sooner. As long as he did not go through Tang God King's manipulation of splitting his daughter's divine soul and get trained into a properly obedient lapdog, Di Tian would definitely regain hope in humanity.

"I hope you're right, Holy Maiden. I can send soul beasts to investigate Bai Chenxiang's situation. If she hasn't been buried yet, I'll find a way to let you meet her."

Judging from the attitude Lin Wan'er had displayed and the way she spoke, Di Tian considered it again and again before verbally offering each side a way to step back.

This compromise was merely because the abilities Lin Wan'er had shown were enough to make him selectively comply. Moreover, the authority the Co-Lord had shared was no empty promise or joke.

The two sides had only just come into contact. If they wished to exchange sincerity for sincerity, they absolutely could not refuse too bluntly, lest they create an irreparable outcome.

"Then thank you in advance, Grandpa Di Tian. I'll wait for your good news."

Lin Wan'er withdrew her staff, waved at Di Tian with a smile, then turned around and let out a breath of stale air. Taking two steps at a time, she sprinted toward the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Dealing with old antiques was such a hassle. Good thing she had the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to cuddle now. Future Wang Qiu'er, here I come!

Caught completely off guard and pounced on full-force, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion instinctively wanted to bite back. But when she thought of her little sister's fur that differed from her own and her somewhat delicate skin, she decisively retracted her teeth and instead licked the girl's head with her barbed tongue.

Feeling the warmth from above her head and that tongue, which was just like a giant comb, Lin Wan'er, an extreme big-cat enthusiast, felt no disgust. Instead, she was very pleased with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's actions.

The kitty had voluntarily groomed her poop-scooper. Yay! While the bond between Lin Wan'er and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion rapidly warmed, Di Tian, busily moving about like a doting grandfather, walked among the Ferocious Beasts and transmitted the Holy Maiden's earlier plan to each of them.

As expected, after thinking it over for a moment, the several Ferocious Beasts all agreed to let the newborn Holy Maiden make contact with the Tang Sect's subordinate sect.

Not only would this train the Holy Maiden's worldly experience and broaden her knowledge, it might also stop them from launching another Beast Tide against humanity's top geniuses.

The Star Dou Great Forest had many soul beasts and held the highest standing among the various Soul Beast Forests, but the price of launching a soul beast Beast Tide was also enormous.

Every time, those damned surviving soul masters would gain unexpected soul ring skills and precious Soul Bones, increasing their experience in resisting the next Beast Tide, learning from their mistakes, and improving their shortcomings.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, even if Beast God Di Tian looked down on soul masters, he was unwilling to create more waves built from the lives of soul beasts.

The Ferocious Beasts were far more efficient than humans. Before long, Lin Wan'er was nudged to the dining table by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and began eating a delicious meal under the concerned gazes of the Ferocious Beasts.

Soul beasts had no rule against speaking while eating, so while Lin Wan'er was picking out food, Bear King narrowed his beady eyes and spoke in a rough voice.

"Holy Maiden, I'm mighty curious about what your true form is. Can you tell us about it so this old Bear King can broaden his horizons?"

Bear King's repeated use of "this old me" nearly made Lin Wan'er choke. She covered her mouth and coughed dryly for quite a while before recovering. Looking at the fat middle-aged man across the table, she said irritably, "I was born appearing in the human form of a transformed soul beast. I don't have a true form like Uncle, the sisters, and Grandpa Di Tian. So, Uncle Bear King, I'm afraid I can't broaden your horizons."

Realizing that Lin Wan'er was somewhat different, Bear King awkwardly scratched his buzz cut, utterly lacking the airs of a Ferocious Beast. "My mistake. I forgot that the Holy Maiden is different from all of us."

Seeing this, Scarlet King, who had just finished his patrol, shifted his gaze away from Fox Consort and shouted exaggeratedly, "Since when did you change your nature, Bear King? You actually have such a gentle side? Don't tell me you've been possessed by something filthy?"

Bear King, a complete daughter dotard, stiffened. Rubbing his fists together, he snapped at Scarlet King, "No one will treat you as mute if you keep your mouth shut. Is that three-headed noggin of yours itchy? Want me to scratch it with my claws?"

"What's wrong with saying you changed? You still want to use your claws—"

Scarlet King had just been about to snap back when Lin Wan'er's call of "Uncle Scarlet King" dazzled him and stole his focus.

"Uncle Scarlet King, stop arguing. Although I have no way of showing everyone my true form, I can explain my martial soul based on how soul masters define them. Consider it a way for us to better understand one another."

After wiping her mouth, Lin Wan'er drew the Ferocious Beasts' attention and began giving them a simple introduction to her martial soul and soul power.

First, her martial soul was the Soraka Martial Soul. Simply put, it was a martial soul with long algae-green hair, likely to grow a white horn on her forehead in the future, and one that could be described as Half-human Half-soul Beast.

As for her Soul Power Level, her Innate Soul Power was level twenty. Due to the Emperor Willow's infusion of life force earlier, she had now reached level twenty-seven.

She had yet to explore her soul skills. Her innate Innate Domain Skill consisted of Soul Prohibition and healing power, and it probably possessed the suppressive attributes of a superior over all support-type soul masters and soul beasts.

By the continent's name for this type of soul master, she could also be called an Ultimate Healer—one with ultimate healing power.

The Ferocious Beasts listened patiently and nodded repeatedly. They had already learned something of Holy Maiden Lin Wan'er's healing and Soul Prohibition abilities earlier.

But knowing about them was one thing; hearing them directly from the Holy Maiden was another matter entirely.

Zi Ji, who was eating large mouthfuls of meat and drinking wine beside them, teased Bi Ji upon hearing this. "Looks like it won't be long before the title of the Continent's Number One Healing Soul Beast is stripped from Bi Ji and passed to the Holy Maiden."

As for the Ferocious Beasts and Di Tian, I feel more inclined to treat them like family. Whether male or female, they can address people in this world with no blood relation as family.

I won't overly favor soul beasts, but having read the first and second parts, though not the third or fourth, I still feel that the Ferocious Beasts are too pitiful. They spend their entire lives working tirelessly and may not even leave behind descendants.

Gu Yuena seems busy falling in love, while the Ferocious Beasts are busy with their work. In the end, they get nothing. That ending is far too tragic.

So essentially, I want the original characters with decent values, including the protagonists, to resist as much as possible, without forcing unreasonable criticism.
