[Xiong Jun: Regretting it now? Too late!]
[Yu Xiaogang, just you wait. I'll come to the human world and kill you!]
Seeing that begging for mercy in the Chat Channel was useless, Yu Xiaogang began making threats too.
[Yu Xiaogang: Xiong Jun, is it? Don't think I'm actually afraid of you!]
[I gave you face, and you threw it back at me?]
[Do you really think we humans have no powerful fighters?]
[If you dare come to the human world, Spirit Hall will be the first to come after you!]
[Although your Star Dou Great Forest having a divine beast was far beyond my expectations, we humans also have the Angel God, the Sea God, and the Rakshasa God.]
[Although they're far away in the Divine Realm, that doesn't mean you Soul Beasts can do whatever you please.]
[That Silver Dragon King-Gu Yuena, was it? I advise you to behave yourself and keep your Soul Beasts in line. Otherwise, you'll be the first one the Angel God, the Sea God, and the Rakshasa God come after.]
[Silver Dragon King (Gu Yuena): Human, you're courting death!]
[Yu Xiaogang: Spirit Hall, Great Enshrined, are you really not going to say anything?]
[The Soul Beasts are practically riding on our heads.]
[And what about Sea God Island?]
[You're humans too, after all. If we humans on the continent are wiped out, do you think you can stay out of it?]
[Zhang Goudan: Exactly, exactly! Spirit Hall and Sea God Island, say something!]
[Are we supposed to just wait to die?]
[You powerful people should protect us.]
[Qian Duofu: Spirit Hall, Sea God Island, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb. And you too, Clear Sky Sect.]
[We've reached the most dangerous moment. I think you should put aside your past grudges and face the impending Soul Beast crisis together.]
[Hong Baobao: And the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, say something too! Neither of you made the ranking, but you both have Titled Douluos. You can't just run away!]
Seeing Yu Xiaogang turn his spear toward Spirit Hall and Sea God Island, the commoner Soul Masters immediately followed suit, demanding that Spirit Hall, Sea God Island, the Clear Sky Sect, and the other forces say something.
They were truly afraid that the Upper Three Sects and Spirit Hall would all flee. With the Upper Three Sects and Spirit Hall there, they could at least hold out for a while against a Soul Beast attack.
They could use that time to escape.
If Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Sects fled first, they would never outrun them, and they would certainly end up torn to pieces by the Soul Beasts.
Faced with this situation, the major human forces reacted differently.
Spirit City, Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu was trying to contact the Angel God, hoping to receive her instructions, but no matter how he tried, he received no response.
Dragging things out was no solution.
Qian Daoliu decided to put everyone's minds at ease first.
[Qian Daoliu: Xiong Jun, the human world is not somewhere you can come and go as you please.]
[I advise you to think thrice before acting.]
[We can stop entering the Star Dou Great Forest and disturbing your lives. That is the greatest concession I can make. Don't take a mile when given an inch.]
[Both sides suffering would benefit neither you nor us.]
[You have a divine beast's protection, but we also have gods standing behind us.]
[Bo Saixi: Exactly. Xiong Jun, I advise you all to think thrice before acting.]
[Lord Sea God has already issued a divine decree. If you dare enter human society and slaughter humans, he will certainly not let you off easily.]
[Silver Dragon King, Lord Sea God told me to tell you to keep your Soul Beasts in line and not make a grave mistake. Otherwise, Lord Sea God will certainly make you regret it.]
[Lord Sea God also said there were some misunderstandings concerning the Dragon God back then. The Divine Realm can set aside those old grudges and refrain from exterminating you, but you must obey its rules.]
[That is all I have to say. Conduct yourselves wisely.]
Seeing Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi speak one after the other, Yu Xiaogang felt capable again and began swaggering in the Chat Channel.
[Yu Xiaogang: Xiong Jun, did you hear that? If you dare come to the human world, Lord Sea God will be the first to come after you.]
[And Spirit Hall won't let you off either!]
[Xiong Jun: Yu Xiaogang, I see you really are courting death!]
[Yu Xiaogang: This Grandmaster is right here in Spirit Hall. If you have what it takes, come to Spirit Hall and kill me. If you don't, shut your mouth and stop spouting nonsense.]
Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
"Damn that Yu Xiaogang! He's infuriated me beyond endurance. I have to go kill him, or I'll never quench the hatred in my heart!" Xiong Jun could no longer sit still. He abruptly rose, ready to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Xiong Jun, get back here! You dare disregard even our lord's orders?" Di Tian rebuked him.
"Di Tian, you can put up with it, but I can't." Xiong Jun had a very explosive temper.
Gu Yuena's voice came from within the Lake of Life. "Xiong Jun, going to Spirit City now would be nothing more than seeking your own death."
"Spirit City has a Great Enshrined of the Angel God. You're no match for him."
"Yu Xiaogang is nothing but a clown jumping about."
"Why let a clown jumping about anger you?"
"If you bring disaster upon the Soul Beast Clan, I'll be the first to kill you."
Realizing that the Silver Dragon King truly intended to kill him, Xiong Jun had no choice but to rein in his explosive temper and return to sit by the Lake of Life.
Still, he could not swallow his anger. He began trading insults with Yu Xiaogang in the Chat Channel and even called in his own mates.
Seeing that the other side had strength in bear numbers and that his own firepower was somewhat lacking, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly roped in Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others to trade insults and taunts with Xiong Jun and his mates.
And so, an amusing scene unfolded in the Chat Channel.
[Xiong Da: I'll fucking kill you!]
[Ma Hongjun: Ooh, I'm so scared!]
[Xiong Er: Don't let me catch you in the Star Dou Great Forest, or you'll be sorry.]
[I don't believe you can go without obtaining Soul Rings.]
[Dai Mubai: Do I have to go to the Star Dou Great Forest? Can't I go to the Sunset Forest or the Soul Hunting Forest, you dumbass?]
Neither Gu Yuena nor Di Tian stopped Xiong Jun. As long as he did not go to the human world to cause trouble, they would let him curse as much as he wanted.
Di Tian asked respectfully, "My lord, can your injuries truly heal completely?"
"The Sky Curtain System is indeed miraculous. Within ten minutes, my injuries will certainly heal completely, and I'll be better able to protect the Soul Beast Clan."
At that moment, the sky curtain shrouding the Douluo Continent was sending down millions of rays of golden light, covering the Star Dou Great Forest. The largest expanse of golden light enveloped the Lake of Life, aimed directly at Gu Yuena.
Di Tian asked again, "My lord, do you think the Sea God's words are trustworthy? Will the Divine Realm truly refrain from exterminating you?"
"The appearance of the Sky Curtain System has made the Divine Realm somewhat wary. More than half of what the Sea God said is credible, but we still have to remain on guard."
"That is also the main reason I didn't immediately charge into the human world once my injuries were nearly healed."
"If we can coexist peacefully with humans, there could be no better outcome."
"Let's wait until the Sky Curtain System reveals the first-ranked force before deciding what to do."
"Yes, my lord."
"We will now begin revealing the number one force in Douluo's Five Strongest Forces Ranking."
[Number one among Douluo's Five Strongest Forces: Mount Lu Residence.]
