Cooperation

"Blue Sky's location doesn't seem to be very far from where we are now..."

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly. The voice from the heavens had been so majestic and mighty. If possible, he did not want the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to lead the charge.

Still, a godhood inheritance...

Ning Fengzhi unconsciously looked at Ning Jiao.

"Don't look at me, Uncle Ning. If that Blue Sky were female, I might be able to give it a try, but if he's male, what am I supposed to fight him with, my head?"

Ning Jiao shrugged, looking speechless.

"Well, if my guess is correct, the gods probably intend to find suitable successors through this campaign."

"Jiao, with your extraordinary talent, you will surely catch their eye."

Ning Fengzhi spoke with feeling.

"Besides, it doesn't matter even if Blue Sky is male. Since the divine voice mentioned a sliver of hope, some people are bound to take a gamble on Blue Sky's side. There may well be women among them, and then you can show what you're capable of."

"Hmm?"

Ning Fengzhi suddenly paused. If that was the case, why shouldn't he take the initiative and have the powerful women on his side join Blue Sky's camp?

Then they could simply stage exhibition matches to highlight Ning Jiao's strength!

And thereby catch the gods' attention!

The more Ning Fengzhi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. His body even began trembling unconsciously. He seemed to glimpse a future in which, under his wise decisions, a god emerged from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

How could that not set his heart surging?

Yes, without anyone teaching him, Ning Fengzhi had successfully discovered the art of buying points all on his own!

"Jiao, Rongrong, this is a matter of great importance. You absolutely must not make any decisions on your own. Rest assured, I will find a foolproof plan for you!"

Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Jiao. In his eyes, Ning Jiao's aptitude was the finest under heaven. All he lacked was a battle that would shake the gods!

Obtaining a godhood inheritance in the future was already nailed firmly to the board!

But in that case, his previous hands-off attitude toward Ning Jiao would have to change. Although he could not force Ning Jiao to marry Rongrong, he at least had to make Rongrong take more initiative.

A future god-if he did not even dare gamble on that, he would truly be letting down all his ancestors!

Ning Rongrong pressed her lips together without answering. She knew her own situation very well. With her ceiling capped at level 79, there was absolutely no chance a god would take an interest in her.

Thus, everything her father had said was meant for Ning Jiao. She was merely included in passing.

If Ning Rongrong had previously been able to disregard Ning Jiao's talent, then now, after hearing the divine voice, she suddenly began fretting over what she might gain or lose.

"Since things have come to this, there's nothing more for me to say. You two children should head back to the academy first. I'll come find you if anything else comes up."

Seeing the disappointment Ning Rongrong had hidden away, a gleam flashed through Ning Fengzhi's eyes. He nodded to the two of them, indicating that their discussion was over.

"Let's go ask Tang Lan and the others what was said on their end."

Ning Jiao tugged Ning Rongrong's hand, completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere.

Several of his accounts needed urgent attention right now, so he had no time for these little details.

Boom!

A violent roar rang out as Blue Sky sprang into the air, his sharp golden eyes fixed on the three-headed dog below.

He had never thought the Soul Beast Clan would fail to find him, but he had never imagined they would be this fast!

Blue Sky stood in midair, his gaze sweeping seemingly carelessly over a certain large tree.

"Soul beast, are you the beast of the kingly way the Divine Realm spoke of?"

The Scarlet King spoke in a rumbling voice. Despite his cultivation, he could not see through this person's bloodline.

Yet the cultivation of Blue Sky before him had not even surpassed Soul Saint.

"This life is filled with sorrow and suffering, yet the people of the world still do not know which way to advance."

"That is precisely why I must become a star in the heavens and guide you forward."

Golden light flashed in Blue Sky's eyes, and immense spiritual power instantly enveloped the battlefield!

The Scarlet King's and the Myriad Demon King's eyes flickered, but neither resisted. They willingly entered Blue Sky's dream!

After all, they had come precisely to test Blue Sky's potential!

"No wonder I kept feeling that this boy was hiding something. So it was such an enormous spiritual world?"

The Myriad Demon King took the form of a refined middle-aged man and gazed with emotion at the many soul beasts living and working in peace around him.

With his discerning eye, he could naturally tell that this place should be a world inclined toward the spiritual.

"Hey! Who are you!"

"How come I've never seen soul beasts like you before?"

A Wind Baboon boldly stepped forward, warily watching the Myriad Demon King seated on the Scarlet King's back.

"In this world, even a Hundred-Year Soul Beast can express itself clearly..."

"That makes sense. After all, this is a spiritual world. At its core, it is still an expression of the mind."

The Myriad Demon King smiled with interest. He patted the Scarlet King's rump, and the two vanished in an instant, heading toward the Blue Silver Empire ahead.

"Ah..."

In the Blue Silver Empire, Ah Yin, dressed in blue-and-gold phoenix robes, sighed softly. She took a step forward and blocked the two beasts about to enter the Blue Silver Empire.

"Blue Silver Emperor, I see. Was that boy from your bloodline?"

The Myriad Demon King asked with a smile.

"You two, this is a land of beautiful dreams. No disturbances are permitted. Since you have entered this place, you must abide by its rules."

Ah Yin did not answer his question. Her aura surged.

The Myriad Demon King and the Scarlet King exchanged a glance and burst into laughter. They attacked together, and with just one move, sent the conceited Ah Yin's grass leaves flying, snuffing out her fragrant life!

"Since we've finished looking, we should go back and report to our lord."

The Myriad Demon King patted the Scarlet King's rump, raised his hand, and tore through the dream space, returning to reality.

After confirming that Blue Sky had decent potential, Gu Yuena immediately waved her delicate hand, and all the soul beasts surged out to join Blue Sky's ranks!

Then came victory! Victory! A resounding victory!

In the blink of an eye, the campaign ended in victory for the soul beasts!

A long time later, the Myriad Demon King, who had been appointed the Life God, lay on the Dog God Scarlet King's back, reminiscing about his glorious years...

"You know what's good for you."

In the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, a silver dragon with a slender body as flawless as fine jade looked at Blue Sky, whom she had brought back in one claw.

Even her noble purple eyes held a measure of fury.

Behind Blue Sky, the Myriad Demon King and the Scarlet King clung to each other, lewd smiles plastered across their faces.

These two beasts had actually wanted to add her to their harem. Had Blue Sky not intervened to make the "her" in the dream and the other female soul beasts die at the Divine Realm's hands, there was no telling what else these two beasts might have done!

"Let's cooperate, my lord. The path I walk is that of order. Neither you nor the Divine Realm can tolerate me."

"But right now, the Divine Realm doesn't know that, besides order, I also walk the path of dreams."

"I will do everything I can to bring order to the mortal world. If I fail, I will ascend to the Divine Realm as the Dream God and provide shelter for soul beasts."

"If I succeed, it won't be too late to resolve the conflict between my lord and me then."

"You've already seen my strength. Even using shortcuts, it took me more than ten dreams to subdue two Ferocious Beasts. Surely you don't think I'll pose a threat to you in the future, my lord."

Blue Sky extended his hand toward the silver dragon.
