I Want to Become a God!

"Since you have the guidance of the Twin Dragon Kings, what exactly is the purpose of your visit to see our lord?"

Di Tian's tone softened considerably.

A Soul Beast acknowledged by the Icefire Dragon Kings' origin and blessed with such heaven-defying Fortune was worth cultivating a little.

Wukong chuckled. "This junior wants to become a god!"

"Become a god?"

Hearing that, Di Tian could not help but laugh.

He merely thought this monkey was an unafraid newborn calf, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Thus, he encouraged him, "Ambition is a good thing, but you have not even passed the Hundred-Thousand-Year Heavenly Tribulation yet. You are still far too distant from godhood. Cultivate diligently, and do not aim too high."

As the Beast God, Di Tian knew that cruel secret all too well.

From the day the Dragon God fell, the path for Soul Beasts to become gods had been completely severed.

Even an unparalleled Ferocious Beast as powerful as himself could only struggle bitterly beneath the Thunder Tribulations. How could this little fellow before him be any different?

Wukong knew that if he did not think of a way, then even if he earned Di Tian's recognition, he would still have no chance of entering the core circle anytime soon and sharing in Tian Meng's opportunity.

So Wukong put away his smile, his expression becoming incomparably solemn. "My lord is right. This junior naturally understands that one must walk the road step by step. It is just that... while receiving the Twin Dragon Kings' blessing, this junior learned of certain guidance. It concerns a matter of great importance. I do not know whether I should speak of it."

As he spoke, Wukong cast a sidelong glance at the Sky Azure Bull Python, who had been standing by like a backdrop.

The Sky Azure Bull Python was no ordinary bull spirit. He immediately understood that Wukong wanted him to excuse himself.

"Lord Di Tian, this subordinate will take his leave first and patrol the water's surface."

"Mm. Go."

Da Ming immediately twisted his body and swiftly vanished from the spot.

After the Sky Azure Bull Python left, Di Tian finally looked at Wukong.

"There are no outsiders now. Tell me, what guidance did you receive?"

Wukong said in a deep voice, "The Dragon God fell, and godhood was severed. If one wishes to become a god, one must first become human."

Di Tian's expression immediately turned grave. "Did the two Dragon Kings of ice and fire truly say that?"

Wukong answered firmly, "Absolutely."

Di Tian fell silent.

The amount of information in those words was enormous, and they struck directly at the pain point of the Soul Beast race.

A secret of this level was absolutely not something an ordinary Soul Beast could know.

Moreover, there was no roundabout implication in those words. They stated it plainly—if Soul Beasts could not become gods, then they should become humans and achieve godhood that way!

"But Transformation into a human..."

Di Tian frowned tightly. "Do you know how difficult this path is? Over the past tens of thousands of years, among humans, only the Sea God and the Angel God became gods through faith. As a Soul Beast, once you undergo Transformation, you will have to cultivate anew. If your identity is exposed, humans will surely attack you in force. At that point, all your efforts will come to nothing."

"This junior naturally understands the dangers involved."

Wukong straightened his chest and declared proudly, "But if we do not even dare to try, must our Soul Beast race remain trapped in this cage forever, at the mercy of others? This junior is willing to become the one who blazes the trail. Even if I am crushed to pieces, I will have carved out a path for our race!"

Di Tian was stunned by Wukong's lofty words.

On Wukong, he seemed to see a blazing inferno.

That sharpness, that resolve to stake everything on a single throw—those were precisely what the lifeless Soul Beast race lacked most now!

"Not only that."

Seeing that the moment was right, Wukong brushed a hand across the Hundred Treasures Pouch at his waist.

An Immortal Herb giving off a faint red glow instantly appeared, its petals resembling dripping blood.

"Under the guidance of the two Dragon King seniors, this junior also obtained this Immortal Herb."

"With this item concealing my aura, even if this junior undergoes Transformation into a human, ordinary Titled Douluo will never be able to see through my true form."

"This will undoubtedly greatly increase my chances of success."

Wukong attributed every opportunity he had received to the Icefire Dragon Kings.

After all, there was no proof either way. Not only would it make his lies hold up, it would also elevate his standing.

After all, a single blessing meant favor, but multiple blessings meant cultivation.

"This is... an Immortal Herb!?"

"It seems those two seniors truly think highly of you."

Sure enough, Di Tian regarded Wukong even more highly, believing him to be a junior acknowledged by the Icefire Dragon Kings.

After so many years of silence, Di Tian had long been unable to endure it. He had always wanted to do something to break the deadlock for the Soul Beast race.

But their lord always told him to endure, endure, and endure again. Once her injuries recovered, the Soul Beasts would rise.

Thus, Di Tian could only obey, leading a group of powerful Ferocious Beasts to huddle in this place, recuperating and building up their strength.

But Wukong's appearance was like a blazing fire that ignited Di Tian's blood, making him decide to place a bet.

He wanted to see just how far this little monkey could go!

"Since you possess such courage, I will support your pursuit of godhood!"

"What do you need me to help you with? Just say the word!"

"As long as it is within my power, I will not hesitate."

Di Tian knew that Wukong had not come all this way merely to declare his resolve. He must have wanted something.

This was exactly what Wukong had been waiting for. He immediately said, "This junior wishes to borrow your treasured land for cultivation and break through to one hundred thousand years as soon as possible. This junior has a feeling that the best opportunity to become a god lies within the next hundred years. If I miss it, the difficulty will multiply!"

Wukong had deliberately thrown out the time limit of "one hundred years."

In reality, he did not even have fifty years left.

But to Di Tian, a hundred years was no different from taking a nap.

If Wukong claimed he could become a god in a few decades, Di Tian would definitely think he was talking nonsense.

Even so, upon hearing the words "one hundred years," Di Tian still frowned.

"One hundred years? Isn't that too short?"

Di Tian pondered. "With your current cultivation, though you are not far from one hundred thousand years, the final bottleneck often requires several hundred or even a thousand years of tempering. Forget becoming a god within a hundred years—even breaking through to one hundred thousand years in that time would be extremely difficult."

Wukong gave a bitter smile and spread his hands. "It truly is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Otherwise, this junior would not have come so shamelessly to beg for senior's help."

Di Tian stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

Ordinary methods naturally would not work if they wanted a Soul Beast's cultivation to surge in a short period.

But as luck would have it, they had recently captured a million-year-old Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

As long as they let the monkey absorb a few mouthfuls of the ice silkworm's origin, he would soon break through the hundred-thousand-year barrier!

Hm? No!

Di Tian suddenly froze.

They had only captured the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm a short while ago.

Then this monkey had come knocking, and he happened to need an enormous amount of energy to break through his bottleneck.

Was that not far too much of a coincidence?

The look in Di Tian's eyes as he regarded Wukong could not help but turn strange.

This monkey's Fortune was indeed somewhat uncanny!

Di Tian extended a hand. "Give me your staff first. I will report to our lord. If she agrees, I will grant you a great opportunity and ensure that you break through the hundred-thousand-year barrier within a few years!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Upon hearing this, Wukong's heart settled completely.

Without hesitation, he summoned the Ice-Fire Twin Dragon Staff and presented it with both hands.

Di Tian took the long staff, his body instantly turning into a black shadow as he vanished into the deeper waters.
