And most importantly, Lin Ming felt it was easy!

He had spent hardly any energy or time at all. He had simply thought about it, consumed some energy, and successfully reincarnated the animal.

Now Lin Ming also had a question. He had no soul rings whatsoever, yet he could control the first layer of the Reincarnation Tower. That meant there was no threshold for using this first layer.

Then did the later layers need to be unlocked, or what?

That was a question he would have to study carefully later.

If they needed unlocking, surely it wouldn't be like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?

But his only had six layers.

Something this heaven-defying ought to have some explanation for that, though he wasn't worried about getting stuck at a certain level.

After all, he had two martial souls. No matter what, he could cultivate to level 90, which made it fundamentally different from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Holy shit!

He seemed to have spotted something crucial.

Even without an immortal herb like Aromatic Silk Beauty that could defy heaven and change one's fate, as long as someone gave birth to a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master with twin martial souls, that child wouldn't get stuck at a certain level.

He was practically a genius.

But the odds really were a little low.

This discovery seemed almost no different from discovering nothing.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely strange.

Di Tian was already so excited that he was in a daze.

It worked. It really worked.

He truly saw hope in the Golden Dragon King, and not just hope for reviving the Soul Beast Clan. He also saw hope that the Golden Dragon King could become the Dragon God.

With a heaven-defying existence like Lin Ming helping him, the Golden Dragon King would sooner or later become the Dragon God and restore the Dragon Clan's glory.

The Dragon Clan-that was actually what Di Tian yearned for most.

To put it bluntly, what did these soul beasts have to do with him?

Although he had watched over these soul beasts through tens of thousands of years and had long since come to regard them as his subjects, bearing the title of Beast God and sheltering them.

Although he had failed to fulfill his duties, he truly did care for these soul beasts. It was just that he had no choice but to obey his lord's orders.

His heart ached too, but the Dragon Clan had always been his only true concern.

The Dragon Clan's tragedy was his greatest regret.

Nearly ninety percent of the Dragon Clan had died in the War of the Gods back then. After the last ten percent came to the Douluo Continent, they had failed to flourish and multiply. Instead, they had gradually dwindled and finally gone extinct, vanishing into the river of time alongside the soul beasts and being made into soul spirits by humans.

In Lin Ming, Di Tian saw not only hope for the soul beasts' revival, but also hope for the Dragon Clan's revival.

The Dragon Clan could be resurrected, and the Golden Dragon King also had a very good chance of becoming the Dragon God. Seen this way, his death was simply the best arrangement possible.

At this moment, the Golden Dragon King was also growing a little impatient:

"Di Tian, you saw it too.

"This boy's ability is so heaven-defying that he can turn an ordinary animal into a soul beast in an instant.

"As long as we have time, we'll resurrect every soul spirit in the Spirit Pagoda, including the Dragon Clan.

"From now on, the Soul Beast Clan and the Dragon Clan will have this king's protection. You can depart in peace."

"Yes.

"My Lord, your subordinate can indeed depart in peace.

"I am endlessly grateful that you are willing to forgive me for overstepping my bounds.

"Now I have only one wish left: to say goodbye to my lord the Silver Dragon King. After all, I've served her for tens of thousands of years, so I do feel somewhat reluctant to part."

"All those tens of thousands of years of service went to the dogs, and you're still getting sentimental?"

The Golden Dragon King couldn't help making a sarcastic remark, then stopped keeping him in suspense:

"What goodbye?

"It's not as if I'm making you die. Does this king look like that sort of tyrant?

"The kind who demands his subordinates' lives at the drop of a hat."

Don't you?

Di Tian grumbled inwardly.

You demanded my life the moment you arrived.

But he had heard a turn for the better in the Golden Dragon King's words and asked tentatively:

"Then, My Lord, what do you mean?"

"Aren't you just pretending not to understand when you know perfectly well?

"It's already so obvious, yet you still need this king to spell it out?

"This king wants you dead, yet also says you'll live. Didn't we just demonstrate it?"

As soon as the Golden Dragon King said this, Di Tian felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

A moment ago, he had been ready to go to his death. Now his face immediately lit up, and he turned an excited gaze toward the Golden Dragon King and Lin Ming:

"My Lord, you mean...?"

"Yes,"

Lin Ming was also getting a little impatient with how slow Di Tian was being. Could he only call this being too close to see clearly?

"The Golden Dragon King only wants your essence blood and flesh and blood to devour and purify, restoring his bloodline.

"He doesn't need to devour your soul. When you die, I'll extract your soul and successfully reincarnate you. Won't you be alive again then?

"You'll just be living in a different body. And I'll give you a human body, letting you achieve human transformation another way.

"With your bloodline, talent, and spiritual power, you'll easily be a peerless prodigy!

"And I have other ideas too. In short, it'll feel amazing. I guarantee you'll enjoy the treatment of a child of destiny.

"Well?

"Doesn't that give you something to look forward to?"

Uh...

Di Tian's mood today could be described as rising from hell to heaven, then rising to hell, then rising to heaven again, over and over, with endless ups and downs, twists and turns.

No matter how high his cultivation was, his heart was finding this a little hard to take.

What did he mean, he didn't have to die?

And Lin Ming could even reincarnate him into a human body, letting him live another life as a human.

Then wouldn't he be free of the restriction that soul beasts couldn't become gods?

Although his lord the Golden Dragon King had shattered the Divine Realm, the rule that soul beasts couldn't become gods had been set by the Dragon God. The Divine Realm merely upheld it steadfastly.

Even if the Divine Realm had now collapsed, it hadn't completely ceased to exist. That restriction still remained.

That was also why his lord the Silver Dragon King insisted on human transformation. Only by becoming human could she become a god. There was no way around it.

But his lord the Silver Dragon King could transform whenever she pleased. He couldn't.

Once a soul beast passed the optimal period for human transformation at 100,000 years, that opportunity was gone. How could he not have wanted to become human too?

He had traveled all around the Douluo Continent, yet he still couldn't become a god. Only he knew all the bitter feelings that entailed.

But now, Lin Ming could actually turn him into a human, directly skipping the human transformation process. It was simply unbeatable.

Lin Ming was absolutely right. If he could become human, then with his talent, his martial soul awakening would inevitably awaken a martial soul of his bloodline.

He believed that if they started from the same point, both undergoing human transformation at the same time, he would absolutely be no weaker than his lord the Silver Dragon King.

Then, as things now stood, his death would not only help the entire Soul Beast Clan find new life, but would also be an opportunity for him.

Now he simply had to die.

Having thought it through, Di Tian immediately looked excitedly at the Golden Dragon King and Lin Ming:

"My lords, when can I go to my death?

"What conditions must be met to resurrect me in a human body?

"My cultivation is as high as 890,000 years. If I hadn't kept holding myself back, I would long since have broken through to become a super ferocious beast of 900,000 years.

"Could it really be just like those ordinary animals, without any restrictions?"

"How could that be?"

Lin Ming shook his head, then answered his questions,

"First, it has to be voluntary. You're definitely willing, so that condition is met.

"At any rate, I can't currently force others to undergo reincarnation. Fortunately, you don't fall into that category.

"Then there's this: the stronger you are, the more terrifying the energy consumption."
