Though the very best soul masters thought little of a certain Grandmaster's theories.
For some self-taught soul masters who lacked reference materials, they were still useful.
Thus, the Luo Sanpao martial soul had gained some renown in the Soul Master World alongside Yu Xiaogang's title of "Grandmaster" and his unusual background.
After all, the biological son of the patriarch of a top power, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, awakening a pig was quite a piece of news.
And now, another child with the trash martial soul Luo Sanpao (dog version) had appeared on the Celestial Screen alongside the peerless genius Dugu Feng.
Before this, aside from the locations of certain opportunities.
Only peerless powerhouses like Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu, and Bo Saixi had qualified for such a thing!
For Yu Tiansheng to grow into someone accomplished in the future, he absolutely had to encounter a tremendous opportunity!
Thus, in some people's eyes: Yu Tiansheng = an opportunity = a chance to become a peerless powerhouse!
Yet at this moment, one of the continent's centers of attention was lying quietly inside a secret chamber in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Through the gauze-covered window, Yu Yuanzhen watched Yu Tianming adapting to his martial soul in the room and Yu Tiansheng playing alone with a toy in his arms. A trace of tenderness flashed through his eyes.
"The Celestial Screen showed Tiansheng awakening his martial soul last, which also indirectly revealed when Qian Daoliu took Dugu Feng as his disciple," Yu Yuanzhen said, withdrawing his gaze and turning to his younger brother beside him.
"We might be able to use this to work out the timing of the future scenes the Celestial Screen shows next. That would let us seize opportunities one step ahead of others."
"This is an opportunity. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will have only one chance at revival. We must seize it!"
Yu Luomian nodded and replied, "I understand, elder brother."
"The loose ends have all been dealt with. No one should learn about Tianming and Tiansheng in the short term."
"Mm, well done." Yu Yuanzhen nodded, his gaze sharp.
"Until the clan has secured its benefits, conceal all information about Tianming and Tiansheng at any cost. Outsiders absolutely must not learn of these two children's existence!"
"Yu Tianming, with innate full soul power and a mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?" Bibi Dong looked at the intelligence in her hands and tossed it into a corner without a care.
"A Luo Sanpao worthy of being recorded by the Celestial Screen?" Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes rested on the portrait of Yu Tiansheng in her hand as she murmured.
"Xiao Gang, as expected, with your talent, you'll certainly be able to resolve your martial soul's flaws."
"In that case, I won't touch this child. Let him be the means through which your name resounds across the world once again."
Bibi Dong believed that Yu Tiansheng's qualification to appear on the Celestial Screen had to be the result of Yu Xiaogang's guidance, and that only Yu Xiaogang could resolve Luo Sanpao's flaws.
Otherwise, what could be so special about Yu Tiansheng, a child with innate half-level soul power, that he deserved an individual record on the Celestial Screen?
"But... Dugu Feng, if I can't keep him in my grasp, it would be better to destroy him sooner!"
Yu Tiansheng was only four now and would not awaken his martial soul until he was six. Dugu Feng had broken through level thirty and been discovered by Qian Daoliu while hunting soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"By that calculation, Dugu Feng will awaken his martial soul this year. If things go smoothly, the local Spirit Hall should perform his awakening. And barring any surprises, someone from Spirit Hall will be the one to awaken it." Bibi Dong frowned as she thought this.
"If Spirit Hall receives the news immediately, that old thing Qian Daoliu will probably emerge from seclusion at once. Should I..."
Countless thoughts churned through her mind, but Bibi Dong ultimately abandoned the idea of assassinating him ahead of time.
Given Qian Daoliu's temperament, if he learned that she had assassinated his future disciple, he would probably take action no matter how good-tempered he was.
"Once I attain godhood, a mere mortal genius will hardly be worthy of the stage."
"Xiao Gang, just wait! Once I become a god, I'll make everyone who mocked you pay, including Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
Meanwhile, in Thunder Academy in Heaven Dou City.
"Yu Tiansheng... the same martial soul as Xiao Gang?" The woman named Liu Erlong looked at the portraits of Yu Tiansheng and another man in her hands, her eyes carrying a measure of melancholy and reminiscence.
"If no one looks after him, this child will probably be bullied in the clan just like Xiao Gang." As these thoughts turned in her mind, Liu Erlong reached a decision.
She would adopt this child.
For that, she could go and beg that man.
The man who had caused her to be separated from the person she loved.
As for whether adopting this child was ultimately for the sake of seeing that person again, or simply for the child's good...
"Perhaps both."
Humans were not the only ones affected by the Celestial Screen.
At this moment, deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, in the Great Ferocious Land.
A black-haired, golden-eyed man silently gazed at the sky, which had returned to normal, his presence radiating a wrathful authority without any display of anger.
"A variable from beyond the heavens. Could this be the work of those so-called gods?"
"Gods, whatever! If you ask me, we should just charge out and swat all those humans shown on that Celestial Screen to death, so they don't become trouble later."
A giant bear covered in dark golden fur snorted disdainfully, his blood-red beastly eyes savage. The dark golden claws extending several meters from his paws slammed into the ground, instantly leaving several enormous craters.
He was none other than the four-hundred-thousand-year ferocious beast, Xiong Jun.
"This matter is far too bizarre. Besides, Xiong Jun, you saw it too. The human world seems to have powerhouses no weaker than you or me." Above a body resembling a lion's, three identical, hideous heads showed traces of humanlike contemplation.
"But if those human cubs shown on the Celestial Screen really do appear in the Star Dou Great Forest, I also suggest killing them early, lest a long night breed more dreams."
"We must not act too hastily. My Lord has yet to awaken. If the Celestial Screen truly is the work of those gods, acting rashly may instead lead us straight into a trap."
As a leader who knew of the Divine Realm's existence, Di Tian did not wish to act rashly, even according to his own judgment.
If the so-called "three invincibles of sea, land, and sky" were only as strong as the Celestial Screen had shown, then that was all they amounted to.
The Dragon God Claw was enough to kill any one of them.
"If this Celestial Screen truly knows the past, present, and future, surely things concerning us will appear as well?" Standing beside Di Tian, Bi Ji had a different view.
"At present, not a single powerhouse from our Soul Beast Clan has appeared on the Celestial Screen. The Star Dou Great Forest can still be considered peaceful in the short term, but our existence will ultimately be exposed."
"Indeed. This Celestial Screen fills the entire sky as though it has no bounds, and it knows so many secrets of the human world. There's no reason it wouldn't know of our existence." Scarlet King nodded in agreement beside them.
"Since we'll eventually be exposed to humans, why not strike before they notice, when those cubs on the Celestial Screen bring human geniuses here to hunt soul beasts, and wipe out those so-called human geniuses ahead of time?"
"Humans are unimportant. Even if those so-called human geniuses grow to maturity, they'll merely dominate the world for two hundred years. What does that amount to compared with My Lord's grand plan?" Di Tian waved a hand, unconcerned about the human geniuses mentioned by the Celestial Screen.
In this era, exceedingly few people had obtained a hundred thousand year soul ring or soul bone.
To the widely knowledgeable Di Tian, so-called human powerhouses amounted to little.
As long as they did not hunt those extremely important and rare soul beasts or endanger My Lord's grand plan, these were all minor matters.
Still, what Scarlet King and Bi Ji had said was not without reason.
Since the Star Dou Great Forest's secrets would one day be exposed to humans, there was naturally nothing wrong with taking the initiative and hunting down a few human prodigies along the way.
"If the Celestial Screen truly exposes the existence of other soul beasts, then make your move. Let those so-called human geniuses remain here."
