Haoyue Was About to Evolve

Naturally, he had not done this simply to tease Haoyue.

Was he trying to build goodwill here?

Barring any surprises, Haoyue would be able to advance after swallowing this Dragon Pearl.

This time, he would also reverse-summon Long Haochen over.

Although Jiang Li and Qian Renxue had already decided to abandon the Reverse Summoning route and focus all their efforts on the teleportation array.

It was still a method, after all.

Perhaps it would bring an unexpected pleasant surprise when the time came?

It would cost nothing more than some Soul Beast meat. There was nothing to lose.

"Senior Brother... Haoyue says he wants both."

As Long Haochen conveyed what Haoyue meant, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

This fellow really was a little greedy.

But he had to admit that his senior brother's roast meat was truly delicious.

Moreover, that roast meat could strengthen their bodies.

Although he did not know where his senior brother had obtained it, it clearly had not come easily.

"All right, then. Eat the roast meat first, and I'll get you the Stone Ball afterward."

Before Long Haochen could say anything, Jiang Li had already made the decision.

"Senior Brother... never mind. I already owe you more than enough anyway."

Long Haochen had wanted to say something, but when he saw how happy Haoyue looked, he ultimately could not bear to refuse.

"Roast meat? What roast meat?"

"Jiang Li, can we come eat too?"

When Li Xin, who stood nearby, heard that they were having roast meat, she immediately grew excited and hurriedly pulled Lin Jialu over as she asked.

She knew very well how picky Haoyue was. Just how delicious must it be for him to ask for it himself?

"Perfect. Call everyone over. We'll have dinner together here tonight and set out for the Holy City tomorrow."

Jiang Li did not refuse. His main purpose was still to grow closer to Haoyue.

Everyone else was merely incidental.

"All right, I'll go get Chen Si and her brother."

Only when Jiang Li mentioned everyone did Li Xin remember the two siblings.

When they had gone to the auction earlier, Li Xin and Lin Jialu had simply overlooked the two siblings.

This time, they were feasting at a rich man's expense, so she naturally would not stand on ceremony.

Others might not know, but Li Xin knew very well that Jiang Li was wealthy.

The money he had earned by exchanging materials obtained from the demons he had slain over the years was already a considerable sum.

Afterward, the group held a bonfire party on the hotel's dedicated terrace.

Throughout it, Jiang Li kept roasting meat.

As for everything else, he did not get particularly involved.

Qian Renxue, on the other hand, had a rare bit of interaction with Li Xin and Lin Jialu.

"After witnessing the Demon Race's brutality and the lives of those ordinary people, this kind of beauty really is intoxicating."

Qian Renxue drank quite a lot that day and completely relaxed, body and mind.

"Then let this beauty last longer."

Jiang Li smiled calmly, then looked at Haoyue beside him. This fellow truly had an enormous appetite and had started urging him to roast more meat again.

Jiang Li could vaguely sense that Haoyue was not merely indulging his appetite. He was also accumulating energy.

Clearly, he was already preparing for a breakthrough.

But thinking about it, that made sense. This fellow had eaten no small amount of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast meat, and when Long Haochen had eaten the ten thousand year ginseng king earlier, a large portion of its power had also been shared with him.

By Jiang Li's estimation, even without this Dragon Pearl, Haoyue would evolve before long.

With the Dragon Pearl's power added then, perhaps Haoyue would become even stronger.

"I wonder whether human Soul Masters in our world could coexist peacefully with Soul Beasts like this and fight side by side?"

Looking at Haoyue waiting nearby for roast meat, Qian Renxue thought of the Douluo Continent where she came from.

Such a thing seemed impossible.

"They can't. Based on your descriptions and the scenes I saw earlier, if I'm not mistaken, that world's rules specifically target Soul Beasts."

"The aim is to make Soul Beasts completely extinct as time passes."

"Unless Soul Masters' cultivation no longer depends on plundering the power of Soul Beasts."

Hearing Qian Renxue's question, Jiang Li shook his head with a smile.

That step really would be difficult.

Unless the underlying logic of the plane's rules was changed directly.

But the problem was that Soul Masters simply could not do such a thing. Only gods might be able to change it.

Moreover, even a First-Level God might not be able to accomplish it.

In truth, Jiang Li somewhat coveted the Silver Dragon King's Creation Godhead on the Douluo Continent.

His innate internal spiritual power had only been achieved through Qian Renxue's Retainer Knight Contract. Although it could increase his cultivation speed, strictly speaking, it did not belong to him.

Therefore, it was almost impossible for him to gain the recognition of the Creation and Eternity Divine Throne through it.

After all, this object was not merely a Super Divine Artifact. In a certain sense, it was also half of a God King's godhead.

As for the other thrones, although they were all divine artifacts, they were imitations made by humanity.

Even if he gained their recognition, he would merely have another divine artifact. They could not truly let him cross that threshold and become a god in this world.

But with the Silver Dragon King's Creation Godhead, perhaps things would be different.

On the Douluo Continent, neither the Golden Dragon King's destruction godhead nor the Silver Dragon King's Creation Godhead could truly unleash the actual might of half the godhead of the Dragon God, a Supreme God King. After all, they were suppressed by the Divine Realm.

But on the Holy Demon Continent, perhaps things would be different.

However, this was not something he should be considering at his current stage.

If all else failed, once Qian Renxue became a god, she could immediately take him to the Divine Realm. Not only would that ensure his survival, but they could also keep watch in the Divine Realm.

With Bibi Dong's strength, even Tang San with dual gods as one would be no match for her.

With Qian Renxue watching in the Divine Realm, the moment she discovered any move on their part, she could immediately report it to the God Realm Committee.

Whether Tang San wanted to revive or do anything else, he could forget it.

After reaching the Divine Realm, he would have enough time to study other ways of becoming a god.

Although this approach was a little too focused on lying low and surviving, and not so heroic, it was still a path.

"This brings us to another key issue: teleporting to the Douluo Continent."

At this thought, Jiang Li took out the Mysterious Stone Ball he had purchased at the auction.

Both of Haoyue's heads immediately turned to look.

"Here. Work out between yourselves who gets to eat it."

After taking out the Stone Ball and placing it in front of Haoyue, he no longer needed to consider the rest.

The Stone Ball's final owner was not him, but Lin Xin.

After all, he also knew that he was in the wrong.

Immediately afterward, Haoyue swallowed the Stone Ball.

"Senior Brother, Haoyue is going back to his original world."

Sensing something unusual about Haoyue, Long Haochen came to his side.

"He's probably about to transform. Go ahead."

Jiang Li said nothing more, but his gaze remained fixed on Haoyue. He was waiting, waiting for Haoyue to return so he could take a good look at what was unusual about the spatial fluctuations involved.
