Di Tian, who had been berated bloody by the Silver Dragon King, lowered his head and did not dare voice a single complaint.
"Lord, it was this subordinate's dereliction of duty. Please punish me!"
The moment Di Tian addressed someone as "Lord," every Ferocious Beast felt their scalps go numb, a chill shooting from the soles of their feet straight to the tops of their heads.
They had never imagined that above Di Tian, the Beast God, there was an unknown Lord hidden within the alternate space where they had lived for so long.
At that moment, some of the quicker-witted Ferocious Beasts recalled a detail from when the Sky Screen had previously ranked Shui Wulü—a detail all Ferocious Beasts had taken for granted and thus overlooked.
[On Douluo Star, Shui Wulü is a true second-generation soul master, a little princess whom no human faction can afford to provoke. Only some terrifying existence deep within the Star Dou Forest can make her somewhat wary.]
They had always assumed that the terrifying existence capable of making Shui Wulü wary was Di Tian, the Beast God of the Star Dou Forest.
But now, with this Lord exposed, they finally realized that the terrifying existence Shui Wulü truly feared was likely the Lord Di Tian had spoken of.
As all the Ferocious Beasts trembled in terror, the Silver Dragon King's cold voice rang out once more. "Hmph! What use is there in punishing fools like you? Di Tian, and all you fools as well, I do not wish to see this farce of you killing one another again!"
"Now that the Sky Screen has descended, the situation of heaven and earth has changed dramatically. This is a once-in-eternity upheaval. It is both a crisis and an opportunity for our Dragon Clan to defy fate and turn the tables! Since humans can use Sky Screen rewards to enter the ranks of God Kings, then our Soul Beast Clan can naturally use these ranking rewards to grow stronger as well!"
The Silver Dragon King's vertical pupils were cold and piercing as she swept her gaze across the trembling Ferocious Beasts, her tone carrying an unquestionable, murderous majesty.
"I do not care what grudges you held in the past, but before the great cause of the Dragon Clan's revival and the Soul Beast Clan's rise, you will all put aside every grudge and dispute."
"From this moment onward, all of you will obey Di Tian's commands! Whoever dares to kill one another in secret or defy orders, Di Tian will not need to lift a hand. I will personally slaughter you!"
Di Tian lowered his head, his expression solemn. "Yes! This subordinate shall obey Lord's command!"
At that moment, even the arrogant and untamed Xiong Jun lay trembling on the ground, filled with fear and not daring to act the slightest bit presumptuously.
Even the other Ferocious Beasts who had been jeering and watching the show fell silent as cicadas in winter. They did not dare breathe loudly, their hearts filled with endless fear and lingering dread.
Once the Silver Dragon King's voice fell silent, the Ferocious Beasts discovered that the terrifying pressure weighing upon them had vanished.
After the Ferocious Beasts rose, they saw a pillar of light descend from the Sky Screen.
"That direction seems to be Heaven Dou City, built by the humans..."
Di Tian stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Thinking of the unusual circumstances surrounding the two Dragon Kings, he wanted to go and investigate.
But when he recalled Lord's command to keep the other Ferocious Beasts under control, he suppressed that impulse.
While Di Tian was organizing the other Ferocious Beasts, Heaven Dou City had erupted into complete chaos.
Di Tian might have been delayed by trivial matters, but everyone in Heaven Dou City had witnessed the entire process of the Sky Screen descending upon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel.
"Look! The pillar of light landed in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel!"
"My heavens! Could Lord Shui Wuyou, ranked first, be inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel?"
"Impudent! You worthless parasite who lives by eating and waiting to die, how dare you address a Deity by name? You truly deserve death!"
Throughout Heaven Dou City, everyone raised their heads, their gazes fixed upon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel enveloped by the pillar of light. Discussions and cries of alarm rose one after another, each wave louder than the last.
Inside a private room of the hotel.
Qian Renxue looked at Shui Wuyou, who was shrouded in the pillar of light. Her eyelashes trembled faintly, and her eyes were filled with envy.
The strength of a God King.
A Super Divine Artifact—Celestial Foundation Star.
One had to know, this was a God King!
Within the Deity system, God Kings stood at the very first echelon.
Furthermore, Shui Wuyou possessed the Super Divine Artifact, Celestial Foundation Star.
It was hard to imagine just how powerful this man truly was.
At the very least, the Angel God Ancestor of Spirit Hall was absolutely no match for Shui Wuyou.
Wielding a Super Divine Artifact and possessing the combat strength of a God King, even the Angel God would probably have to kneel before him.
Just as Qian Renxue sighed inwardly, she noticed something amiss.
Whether it was due to the Sky Screen's reward pillar or because his abruptly surging strength had made Shui Wuyou unable to control the Divine Power within his body, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel was collapsing and coming apart.
"Uh..."
"If I run now, is it still too late?"
Qian Renxue had a feeling that something terrible was about to happen.
If it was because of the reward pillar, then it would be fine. At worst, a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel would be lost, and she could afford to compensate for it.
Or rather, there might be no need to compensate at all.
After all, who would dare demand compensation from Shui Wuyou?
Shui Wuyou was a genuine Deity!
Even when Shui Wuyou had only been a First-Level God, Ning Fengzhi probably would not have dared demand compensation from him.
Not to mention that once the Sky Screen's reward pillar vanished, Shui Wuyou would become a lofty God King!
A God King! The king of the Deity system!
Even if the Rakshasa God, Angel God, Sea God, or even the God of Asura descended, they probably would not dare casually make trouble for Shui Wuyou.
But if Shui Wuyou's suddenly increased strength had rendered him unable to control the Divine Power within his body, then she would soon have to face the uncontrolled pressure of a God King.
Earlier, the pressure of Shui Wuyou at the Quasi-God level alone had already tormented her badly. If she directly encountered power leaking from a God King, then with the physical constitution of her current level-sixty Soul Emperor self, she would probably be crushed completely, wouldn't she?
At that thought, a cold layer of sweat emerged across Qian Renxue's back.
At that moment, Shui Wuyou noticed Qian Renxue's attempt to retreat. "Tsk! Little Angel, I have a feeling you're offending me!"
As the Lord of Douluo Star, how could he possibly make such a mistake as losing control of his Divine Power?
He was not some inferior imitation like Shui Wulü, who lacked the proper foundation!
He was a ruthless man who had directly seized the world origin of Douluo Star by force and become a god with a mortal body.
"Ahahaha! How could that be!"
"I am filled with reverence for Lord Wuyou. How could I possibly offend you?"
Qian Renxue froze stiffly in place, forcing a smile onto her face while inwardly crying out in misery.
The entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel was emitting tooth-grating cracking sounds. Rubble from the ceiling rained down, the floor shook violently without end, and spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread across the floorboards.
With all this commotion, Shui Wuyou still insisted that his Divine Power was not out of control.
Though Qian Renxue was frantically complaining inwardly, she did not continue trying to flee, because Shui Wuyou directly placed a protective barrier of Divine Power around her.
