"Young miss, this Black-Striped Vajra Bear is already a very suitable soul beast. The soul ring obtained from it will most likely be strength-based, which would suit the Clear Sky Hammer perfectly."
To be honest, when Tang De saw this Black-Striped Vajra Bear, he wanted to replace his own soul ring.
"Sigh, forget it. Let's head back. We're done searching."
They had searched for three days straight without finding any trace of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. All she could say was that they truly had little affinity with each other.
Done searching? Tang De looked utterly baffled. After searching for so long, they had finally found such a suitable soul beast, only for her to suddenly decide she didn't want it.
He felt rather like someone who had spent three days and nights working on a project, revising it several times and finally getting it right, only to be told at the very end that the project had been canceled.
If anyone other than Wang Dong'er had said that, he would absolutely have been unable to resist beating them to death.
"All right, let's head back, then. The two Sect Masters must have been waiting for quite some time."
The two of them started walking back.
They had only taken a few steps when Wang Dong'er suddenly felt something strange. She sensed something drawing her toward it.
Could it be the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?
Wang Dong'er immediately ran toward the source of that sensation.
"Young miss, where are you going?" Tang De hurried after her.
Wang Dong'er felt that presence drawing closer and closer, then abruptly stopped.
Tang De stopped as well.
"Young miss, what on earth is going on?"
Wang Dong'er looked at Tang De and said solemnly, "Tang De, stay here and don't move. I'm going ahead to take a look. Remember, you absolutely must not come over without my permission."
"How can I do that? There are plenty of ten-thousand-year soul beasts nearby. Without me there, you'll be in great danger if you encounter one."
"It's fine. I'll call you if there's any danger. Remember, don't come over."
Seeing Wang Dong'er's solemn expression, Tang De realized she must have something she didn't want him to see.
He could only nod. "All right, then. Be careful, young miss."
After giving Tang De those instructions, Wang Dong'er continued onward.
After advancing roughly two or three hundred meters, she saw a dazzling figure.
She radiated golden light and looked much like a lion, though her claws resembled a dragon's. Golden scales covered her body, giving her a somewhat peculiar appearance.
Strangest of all was the vertical eye on her forehead. Gazing closely into it gave one the feeling that their consciousness was being sucked inside.
"Three-Eyed Golden Lion, I've finally found you."
The soul beast that had appeared before Wang Dong'er was none other than the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion also saw Wang Dong'er and walked straight toward her.
She noticed that Wang Dong'er seemed to carry an aura very similar to her own.
Wang Dong'er stood still. If the Three-Eyed Golden Lion wanted to hurt her, she would have no way to resist. But she believed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion wouldn't harm her.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion approached and sniffed Wang Dong'er. She could confirm that Wang Dong'er carried her aura.
The Scarlet King, who had been guarding her from the shadows, did not immediately emerge to stop them. It was only a human child, after all, and the Scarlet King didn't think she could pose any danger to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Moreover, the Scarlet King could sense that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was very calm, and even a little happy.
"Wang Qiu'er," Wang Dong'er called out.
But the Three-Eyed Golden Lion showed no reaction. She had no memory of that name.
Wang Dong'er suddenly reached out with both hands and embraced the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion likewise extended her head forward, bringing the vertical eye on her forehead into contact with Wang Dong'er's forehead.
"This is bad!"
The Scarlet King immediately revealed itself.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's vertical eye was her most important feature. The Scarlet King hadn't expected events to take such a turn.
Yet just as the Scarlet King approached to separate the two, a powerful repulsive force suddenly burst from their bodies and knocked it away.
A wisp of golden light flew out of Wang Dong'er's forehead and entered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's vertical eye.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's vertical eye shone with dazzling golden light.
Several hundred meters away, Tang De sensed the aura coming from their direction and immediately rushed over.
Although Wang Dong'er hadn't called him, that aura was simply too powerful. He feared she wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Sensing a powerful presence approaching, the Scarlet King immediately moved to intercept it.
Looking at the three-headed mastiff blocking his path, Tang De recognized its identity. "Scarlet King."
Tang De had never imagined he would encounter the Scarlet King, one of the ten great ferocious beasts, here.
"What have you done to that child?"
"I should be asking you that. What has your child done to our Auspicious Beast?"
The human and beast faced off, but neither made the first move.
At that moment, Wang Dong'er's consciousness was pulled into a space resembling a sea of consciousness.
An ethereal figure appeared before Wang Dong'er. It was none other than Wang Qiu'er.
"It's been a long time, Wang Dong'er."
"Qiu'er!"
Wang Dong'er had never imagined she would be able to see Wang Qiu'er again.
"Qiu'er, what exactly is going on?"
Wang Qiu'er explained, "A wisp of my soul accompanied you through your rebirth, and now it has returned to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. I've also merged the memories of Wang Qiu'er into her mind."
"Qiu'er, thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have had the chance to start over."
"I don't have much time, so I'll make this brief. To escape God King Tang San's control, the first thing you must do is remove Tang Wutong's soul from your body. You and I are the same in that regard."
"Then what should I do? Even if I become a Titled Douluo, I won't be able to break Tang San's seal."
"Naturally, a God King's seal requires power of the same level to undo."
"After I sacrificed myself in our previous life, part of my soul wandered across the continent and finally found a god's inheritance."
"With that god's inheritance, Ye Xu, you'll be able to remove the seal inside your body."
"Who is he?" Wang Dong'er asked curiously.
"The God of Light."
"The God of Light is an existence on the same level as Shura God Tang San. He isn't a god of the Divine Realm, but a native god of the Douluo Continent."
"At that time, there were no soul beasts on the continent, nor any humans. Even the Divine Realm didn't exist yet."
"The God of Light and the God of Darkness ruled Douluo Star. Later, a great battle broke out between the two gods, and both perished. Their inheritances vanished as well."
"It took me an enormous amount of effort to find the site of the God of Light's inheritance."
"Where is it?"
Wang Dong'er was thrilled. The God of Light sounded incredibly powerful. Perhaps he really could stand against Tang San.
Immediately afterward, a map appeared in Wang Dong'er's mind, marked with the location of the God of Light's inheritance.
"All right, Wang Dong'er. This is as far as my power can take me. When you run into difficulties, come find the Three-Eyed Golden Lion again. She'll help you one more time, and you'll be able to gain the support of the entire Star Dou Great Forest."
"Qiu'er, will you never be able to appear again?"
Wang Qiu'er shook her head. "My mission is over. Goodbye, Wang Dong'er. Carry my share with you and keep striving for both of us. And cherish Yuhao."
With that, Wang Qiu'er's figure disappeared.
