Master?

Let's rewind to when Huo Yuhao first entered the Outer Zone.

Far away in the Core Circle the Star Dou Great Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which had been playing on the shore of the Lake of Life, suddenly seemed to sense something and abruptly raised its large head.

"Hey, Auspicious Beast, where are you going?"

Seeing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion run away without looking back, the Scarlet King, who was watching over it, hurriedly chased after it.

"Little one, where are you going?"

"My brother is here, I need to go see him!"

"Younger brother? Who's that? Is he some kind of yellow-haired Soul Beast?"

The several Ferocious Beast that were resting on the shore found the Auspicious Beast's unusual behavior rather strange.

Just then, a woman's voice came from the bottom of the Lake of Life.

"Di Tian, that little fellow has come to Star Dou; the Auspicious Beast have sensed him."

Upon hearing this sound, a black dragon hundreds of meters long on the shore lit up with its eyes.

"So it was him? Then I'll go and bring him back right away!"

Go! Remember, you mustn't hurt him!

Upon receiving the order, Di Tian flapped his wings and chased after the direction in which the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had disappeared.

Although both powerful figures deliberately avoided exposing their aura to the onlooker, a human and a beast, it was still the aura of two unparalleled mortals, and even a mere trace of it was enough to immobilize them.

"Call"

The hurricane created by the collision of their powerful auras suddenly blew towards the man and the beast.

It blew them both away in an instant.

"Bang bang!"

Huo Yuhao and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who were blown away, only felt themselves fall into a warm embrace.

Turning their heads, they saw a Swan with a bright green body and wingspan of over ten meters behind them.

Huo Yuhao and the Auspicious Beast flew directly into the fluffy embrace of the Swan in front of them.

A gentle voice came from the Swan's beak.

Are you two alright?

Using its wings, the Swan gently lowered the two people from its embrace, its body gradually shrinking until it transformed into a beautiful woman in a long green dress.

"Bi Ji! You've come!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, having been put down from her arms, said with some surprise, and then buried its large head in Bi Ji's arms, nuzzling back and forth.

The newcomer was none other than Emerald Swan, Bi Ji fourth on the Douluo Continent's list of Ferocious Beast.

"Alright! Little guy, how come you run so fast? We almost couldn't catch up with you."

After cuddling in Bi Ji's arms for a while, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed to remember something and turned around to run to Huo Yuhao's side.

"Brother! Brother! This is Bi Ji, she's my family!"

Hearing the title "Three-Eyed Golden Lion," Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow; this Three-Eyed Golden Lion was quite unafraid of strangers.

Huo Yuhao could tell that these people meant him no harm. Therefore, he walked up to Bi Ji and respectfully bowed, saying:

"Greetings, Senior Bi Ji!"

"Hello, little one!"

Not only was Huo Yuhao observing Bi Ji, but Bi Ji was also secretly observing Huo Yuhao.

The more she observed, the more Bi Ji heart churned with a sense of turmoil. It was the first time she had ever seen someone whose Auspicious Beast aura was even stronger than that of Auspicious Beast. In fact, it was even stronger than it had been five years ago.

After clicking her tongue in surprise, Bi Ji turned her gaze to the two people who were facing off.

"Alright, Lord Di Tian sent you to fetch people, how did you manage to make such a mess of things?"

As she spoke, Bi Ji gave Snow Empress a slightly apologetic smile.

Upon hearing Bi Ji's words, Di Tian's imposing aura gradually weakened.

"Huh? They didn't fight?"

Seeing the two men's imposing aura gradually dissipate, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion muttered something in disappointment.

Then, the two released their oppressive aura. The Scarlet King, who had been pinned to the ground and unable to move, was finally able to move.

The Scarlet King shook his body to remove the dirt, then walked straight to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's side and resumed his guard duties.

"Yuhao, are you alright?"

Snow Empress appeared behind Huo Yuhao in a flash, and Huo Yuhao felt a weight on his head. He was completely embraced by Snow Empress.

"Sister Xue'er, I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me!"

Just as Snow Empress was thoroughly examining Huo Yuhao's body, Di Tian's voice came from not far away:

"Gentlemen, the Master invites you!"

"My Master?"

Upon hearing Di Tian's title, Huo Yuhao was greatly surprised. Di Tian was known as the Beast God Di Tian, the strongest Soul Beast on the entire continent.

Upon hearing this address, Huo Yuhao used telepathy to ask in the direction of the Snow Empress:

"Sister Xue'er, do you know who the Master behind Di Tian is?"

Snow Empress frowned, staring at Di Tian in front of her.

"I 'Taiqing either. There used to be a legend circulating in the major gathering places of Soul Beast, saying that the leader of the Star Dou Great Forest was not the Beast God Di Tian, but someone else. Hundred-Thousand-Year have passed, and no one in those gathering places has ever seen such a person. Everyone else thought it was just a legend, but at our level, we can all sense that the legend is true."

Unexpectedly, there exists Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest that is even more powerful than the Beast God Di Tian.

Could it be a real God?

"Teacher, isn't this dangerous?"

Within the Sea of Consciousness, Jiang Ziya, upon hearing Huo Yuhao's voice, calmly replied:

"It's alright, Yuhao, go after them. An opportunity awaits you there!"

"Chance?"

"Sister Xue'er, shall we go take a look?"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Snow Empress frowned slightly, about to refuse, when Huo Yuhao's telepathic message entered her mind.

"Sister Xue'er, the Teacher told me that this trip might present me with an opportunity."

"Is that what Elder Jiang said? Alright! Stay close to me and be careful in everything you do."

After discussing it with Huo Yuhao, Snow Empress uttered two words to Di Tian in a low voice.

"Lead the way!"

The Star Dou Great Forest is vast, as large as several provinces of the Star Luo Empire. Moreover, the closer you are to the heart of the forest, the taller the surrounding trees become.

The tall trees completely blocked out the sun overhead; if it weren't for the many luminous trees in the forest, it would be pitch black even in broad daylight.

But strangely, as Huo Yuhao and the Auspicious Beast ventured deeper, some of the Soul Beast that had originally blocked their path scattered and fled like frightened birds.

Even some Plant-type Soul Beast that looked like trees, upon sensing the arrival of the two, pulled their roots out of the soil and ran around using their slender roots.

"Hey! Auspicious Beast, why do I feel like all these Soul Beast are so afraid of you!"

Huo Yuhao sat on the back of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, looking at the surrounding environment with some curiosity, and asked.

Originally, Snow Empress wanted to take him flying with her, but she couldn't resist the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's enthusiastic invitation to Huo Yuhao to go with her. Unable to resist the Auspicious Beast's enthusiasm, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to get on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's back and head towards the legendary Land of Great Evil with her.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's question, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion chuckled awkwardly.

"How could that be? Little brother, you must be mistaken. I am a highly respected Emperor Auspicious Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest! Those Soul Beast are just being too respectful to me, so they made way for me. That's perfectly reasonable!"
