Soul Beasts Cannot Become Gods? I, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, Will Break the Curse

"Wasn't this the foolish mistake the Dragon God made before his death?"

"He actually never expected this stupid rule to be enforced on Douluo Continent to this day!"

Although the system displayed a row of exclamation marks.

Its tone was also extremely grave.

As a devoted reader of the five-part Douluo saga.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff knew the ins and outs of this all too well.

Back then, because his subordinates betrayed him.

The Dragon God launched an earth-shattering war.

He nearly destroyed the entire Divine Realm.

In the end, after deep reflection, he asked the Asura God to split him into two.

One half became the current Silver Dragon King.

The other half became the Golden Dragon King.

With his dying breath, he also established a rule.

The so-called "Soul Beasts cannot become gods."

Because so much time had passed.

And because the Dragon God never informed anyone.

Most Soul Beasts on Douluo Continent had no idea such an unwritten rule existed.

Take the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King from ten thousand years ago, for example.

He had already reached the threshold of a million years.

But in the first competition, he lost to Sea God Poseidon.

The second time, he became Tang San's stepping stone.

In truth, many things were destined from the very beginning.

He had been plot-killed by the rule that Soul Beasts could not become gods!

Di Tian in Douluo Continent IV.

Had ultimately vanished completely.

He too had fallen victim to this curse.

"So, if I eat Da Ming and Er Ming's golden divine rings, I'll definitely reach that bottleneck?"

After careful consideration.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff finally sorted out the whole matter.

"System, stop making such a fuss!"

"I'm not a member of the Dragon Race, so why should I obey the rules the Dragon God established back then?"

"Have you heard this saying? My fate is in my own hands, not Heaven's!"

After understanding the stakes involved.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff stopped paying attention to the system's warnings.

He stretched his neck forward.

And bit down on Er Ming's golden divine ring...

"Don't waste good things!"

"If I don't eat it now and it dissipates later, won't I regret it for the rest of my life?"

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had always been a pragmatist.

He had already become the most heaven-defying existence.

So why should he fear wolves ahead and tigers behind?

"Eat. That's one word, and I'll only say it once!"

"Slurp!"

There was no resistance whatsoever.

Instead, it melted the moment it entered his mouth.

Then a gentle force swiftly flowed through his limbs and bones.

This feeling was absolutely exhilarating!

"Eat the second one!"

"Whatever the problem is, wait until I'm done eating before you tell me!"

Originally, the God of Destruction had estimated.

That after swallowing Da Ming and Er Ming, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's cultivation would soar to nearly eight hundred thousand years at most.

But the actual situation far exceeded expectations.

Even the system became overloaded.

[Ding, congratulations, Host. You have obtained two divine rings. As you lack the relevant authorization, this system can only display your cultivation as one million years.]

[Ding, spatial disturbance detected!]

[Because your actual cultivation far exceeds one million years, no Lightning Tribulation on all of Douluo Continent can restrain you!]

[Ding, Host, please take note. You appear to have attracted the attention of the planet's will.]

[Please remain as low-key as possible, or you will be erased by the planet's will!]

"Low-key?"

"Those two words don't exist in my dictionary!"

Sensing the system's frantic warnings in his mind, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff dismissed them with a snort.

Erasure by the planet's will?

Back then, those lofty gods had failed even when they tried to strike him dead with Lightning Tribulation.

What could a mere plane's will possibly amount to now?

"Buzzz!"

Just as the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was utterly disdainful, the entire valley around the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well suddenly shook violently!

Even the surrounding space visibly twisted and compressed!

This was not some catastrophic storm of heavenly thunder.

It was a force of rejection originating from the very foundation of Douluo Star!

It was as if the entire world was rejecting this "aberration" that had broken its rules.

The invisible pressure was a hundred times more terrifying than the Titan Giant Ape's gravity domain!

It frantically squeezed the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's body from all directions.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The rocks on the ground instantly crumbled into dust.

Even the scorching and freezing spring water was crushed by this immense spatial force until it stopped boiling!

"Are you trying to squeeze me out of this world?"

"Or are you trying to crush me so Douluo Continent can regain its balance?"

Facing the planet will's rejection, enough to suffocate even gods.

Not only did the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff refuse to kneel, he slowly straightened his body!

The two divine-officer-level Soul Rings he had just devoured erupted completely within him at that moment!

"Boom!"

An unprecedented dark-golden divine radiance burst from his body.

His body, once made of mortal flesh and blood.

Began to frantically transform into a divine body under the wash of his million-year cultivation!

Soul Beasts could not become gods?

That was the Dragon God's cowardly rule!

That was the pathetic shackle the Asura God had placed upon this continent!

"I'm not from the Dragon Race, and I'm certainly not livestock raised by your Divine Realm!"

"Today, I'm breaking this damn rule no matter what!"

Accompanied by a wild lion's roar that pierced the clouds and shook the very edge of the galaxy.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff suddenly raised his forepaw and savagely tore at the empty sky!

"Riiip!"

The invisible planetary will that sought to erase him.

Was forcibly torn open with a massive gash by those divine claws containing ultimate power!

A mournful hum seemed to ring out between heaven and earth.

Then the overwhelming pressure receded like the tide.

"Heh, that's all?"

"I didn't expect this thing to be weaker than I imagined!"

"No wonder, after the Divine Realm legend, Tang San arranged for his father to merge with the planet's will!"

Some things could only be understood after touching them for oneself.

If he had not clashed with the planet's will today.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff would never have figured out how Tang San's father had merged with it.

Perhaps the Dragon God's great war back then.

Had not only inflicted devastating losses upon the Divine Realm.

But had also, to a certain extent, worn away this Douluo Star's will.

That was why their clash just now.

Had been all thunder and no rain!

"This kind of high-level fusion doesn't suit me!"

"I still prefer my Star Dou Great Forest. That's the real all-you-can-eat buffet!"

"But before I head back, let me find two incredibly powerful helpers first!"

After the false alarm.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff became even bolder.

In truth, whether it was the mortal world or the Divine Realm.

They were nothing more than a huge amateur troupe.

It was just that some people had deified them!

"Zzzzt!"

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, streams of black mist rose from the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's body.

This was his Wraith Servant transformation skill.

Compared with the underlings he had acquired before.

The bodies of Da Ming and Er Ming, along with their remnant souls, could produce something far more wonderful!

He just wondered what the lofty Sea God would think when he saw this!

Time passed second by second.

Though it consumed a great deal of energy.

Everything was worth it.

When Da Ming and Er Ming, in Wraith Servant form, slowly floated up from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

The entire valley seemed to be swiftly swallowed by darkness!

"Zzzzt!"

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

Before they knew it, vast swathes of flowers and grass withered away.

Then they turned into pure black energy and flowed into the bodies of those two.

"I wonder how strong the two of you are individually?"

"I feel like either one of you could be pulled out to fight Di Tian one-on-one!"

Looking at the two brawny underlings before him.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was eager to give it a try.

After all, these two possessed divine souls.

How powerful were they really?

He would only know after testing them...

And Di Tian and Gu Yuena by his side.

Were undoubtedly the best sparring partners!
