Chu Yuan: Di Tian, You Must Strive On!

Looking at the severed limbs scattered across the ground, Di Tian felt only an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

It was not just Di Tian. Xiong Jun and the other Ferocious Beasts also felt a rush of satisfaction.

"This is our true lord! Not that useless fool who only made us watch helplessly as our kin were slaughtered, forcing us to swallow the resentment in our hearts!"

A long-suppressed roar escaped Xiong Jun's mouth. The moment it rang out, he felt incomparably refreshed.

Even the circulation of his Soul Power became much smoother.

At that moment, Chu Yuan stepped out of a spatial rift. The instant they saw him, the Ferocious Beasts, led by Di Tian, arranged themselves one by one on either side of Di Tian according to their strength.

"My lord, the mission is complete. Not a single human Soul Master who came this time was spared. They have all been eliminated."

Di Tian could not conceal the excitement in his voice. A light called hope shone from his eyes.

The Ferocious Beasts in human form likewise had the look of those who had seen hope.

"Di Tian, spread the recording in this Recording Soul Tool. From this day onward, the Star Dou Forest is completely forbidden to humans."

The Recording Soul Tool floating in the air flew into Chu Yuan's hand, and he finally handed it to Di Tian.

"Yes, my lord," Di Tian said respectfully as he accepted the Recording Soul Tool.

"Di Tian, from now on, you will manage all affairs within the Star Dou Forest."

Chu Yuan gazed into the distance. He had to find the Dragon Tomb as soon as possible and use the Dragon Qi within to restore the depleted origin power in his body.

At the same time, the Dragon God's Tears and the Dragon God Core inside were things he had to obtain.

Di Tian was immediately stunned upon hearing this.

How could it be acceptable to hand all the affairs of the Star Dou Forest over to him?

Compared to his lord, he, Di Tian, was not even worth a hair. There was no way he could manage it properly!

"My lord, this absolutely will not do! Your subordinate is dull-witted and incompetent. How could I possibly handle the affairs of the Star Dou Forest well?"

Di Tian looked utterly anxious. He was truly afraid that Chu Yuan would leave him behind and go away!

He had finally encountered such a wise and enlightened lord. He absolutely could not leave!

"Yes, my lord, you are like... like..."

Xiong Jun's neck flushed red with strain, yet he simply could not think of any words that he felt would be appropriate to say at a time like this.

"You just can't leave! If you leave, we won't have a boss anymore!"

Xiong Jun's rugged face was full of anxiety.

"Di Tian, this king must leave. It concerns the Soul Beast race, and even the Dragon Clan..."

Chu Yuan's words abruptly stopped as he looked down at Xiong Jun, who had wrapped his arms around his legs and refused to let him go no matter what.

Xiong Jun was good in every other respect, except that he had no brains and did not understand rank. If it were another Ferocious Beast, even if Chu Yuan allowed them to cling to his legs like this, they would not dare.

With a bang, Chu Yuan viciously smacked Xiong Jun on the back of the head. Only after knocking him unconscious did he turn his gaze back to Di Tian.

"Di Tian, I must make this journey. Do not worry. Before I return, you need not be overly concerned about the Star Dou Forest."

"After this slaughter of ours, humans will certainly not dare enter the Star Dou Forest so easily again. If a few fools who do not fear death come in, just kill them."

Chu Yuan walked over to Di Tian, raised a hand, and patted his shoulder.

"Di Tian, aside from that idiotic Silver Dragon King, you are now the strongest member of the Dragon Clan beneath this king. This king needs you to share my burdens."

"Moreover, when the Dragon Clan returns in the future, this king will need you to be the foremost fierce general under my command. You must strive on!"

Chu Yuan's tone was solemn, making him look exactly like a father hoping his child could help shoulder his burdens.

Di Tian suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"My... my lord..." Di Tian felt his eyes sting slightly.

His lord actually placed such high hopes in him!

What virtue or ability did he, Di Tian, a sinful dragon of the clan, possess to deserve this?

"Pull yourself together. You came out of the God Realm too, so do not disgrace yourself. After I leave, the affairs of the Star Dou Forest will be yours to handle."

Chu Yuan patted Di Tian's shoulder one last time, his tone full of approval for this exceptionally capable working dragon.

"Yes, my lord! Your subordinate will not disappoint your expectations! Your subordinate will certainly manage the Star Dou Forest properly!"

Di Tian dropped to one knee, his tone as resolute as if he were issuing a military pledge.

"These are Cultivation Talismans and Lightning-Avoidance Talismans. While I am away, if any Soul Beast reaches one hundred thousand years of cultivation, grant them one of each."

After giving Di Tian more than a dozen Cultivation Talismans and Lightning-Avoidance Talismans, Chu Yuan turned his gaze toward the other Ferocious Beasts behind Di Tian.

"At the same time, I hope that all of you can break through your current cultivation as soon as possible. Di Tian, especially you. By the time this king returns, I hope your cultivation will have broken through to nine hundred thousand years."

Di Tian took those words to heart. To him now, Chu Yuan's words were no different from an imperial decree—indeed, they carried even more authority than one.

"Yes, my lord!" Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts answered.

"Oh, right. If Snow Empress comes looking for me while I am away, tell her to return to the Extreme North first. Once this king returns, I will naturally go find her." Chu Yuan suddenly remembered Snow Empress.

"Yes, my lord. Your subordinate will convey your words to Snow Empress exactly as spoken."

Chu Yuan nodded at that. Then, after releasing those ten-year and Hundred-Year Soul Beasts from the system space, he took out the only two Space Concealment Talismans and used them on himself.

With that, unless a Divine Artifact personally came to the Douluo Continent, no one could possibly discover him.

There was no helping it. Chu Yuan did not believe there were no undiscovered sites of divine inheritance on the Douluo Continent.

If, while searching for the Dragon Tomb, he accidentally entered a divine inheritance site and was noticed by the humans of the God Realm, the losses would outweigh the gains.

Zi JI watched Chu Yuan's departing figure from afar. Her violet eyes held yearning, reluctance, and anticipation.

"Unfortunately, my bloodline is too low, and my lord is far too powerful compared to me. It will be difficult for me to bear him offspring."

This was undoubtedly the greatest pain in her heart. She truly wanted to bear children for her lord.

Meanwhile, in the human world.

"Have you heard? It has been several days already, yet not a single one of those Lord Soul Masters who entered the Star Dou Forest has come out!"

"Your information is outdated. I heard that those Lord Soul Masters are all dead!"

The rumors grew more and more outrageous as they spread, but their essence was correct.

Di Tian's ability to act was exceptionally swift. Carrying the recording from the Recording Soul Tool, he found a city that appeared prosperous and directly played it above the city.

By sheer coincidence, the city Di Tian chose was Heaven Dou City, a place with enormous crowds, where all the major factions had businesses and planted spies.

In an instant, Heaven Dou City, originally bustling and prosperous, fell into dead silence after witnessing Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts slaughter those powerful human Soul Masters as easily as chopping vegetables in the Recording Soul Tool, along with the appearance of those seven Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Carriage after carriage rapidly left Heaven Dou City, rushing toward the factions they belonged to.
