"Guard Captain Di Tian, you know the abilities of our clan." Zhu Wu began by being deliberately vague before offering useful information, intending to deepen Di Tian's trust.
"After the great war broke out, I did not participate. Instead, I hid myself away. That seemed to have been Lord Dragon God's intention. From the memories I still retain, after Lord Dragon God was cleaved apart by the Asura God, you and that silver giant dragon's split form managed to escape, while the other golden giant dragon split form was besieged by the Five Great Divine Kings."
"Yet they were unable to defeat it even after a prolonged assault."
"In the end, the Asura God proposed sealing it."
"During that time, I intended to escape amidst the chaos. The place where you and the silver giant dragon split form vanished was too conspicuous, so I did not dare go there. Thus, I chose to head in the direction where the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King had fallen. I observed that they should have fallen into this world as well."
"Guard Captain Di Tian, if I'm not mistaken, the Dragon Souls of the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King should still remain."
"Moreover, during my time in the human world, I consulted maps of the continent and have already pinpointed their approximate location."
"Where!?" Di Tian hurriedly asked.
If they could find and revive the two Dragon Kings, their side's strength would undoubtedly increase tremendously.
"Sunset Forest." Zhu Wu did not conceal it. "As far as I know, it is an enormous Soul Beast Forest."
With Di Tian accompanying me, why would I fear Dugu Bo?
"Because I had only recently taken control of this body, and my strength was low, I had not yet gone to search for them," Zhu Wu continued. "But now that you are here, I think we can investigate. As long as we get close enough, I should be able to sense their exact location. However, Guard Captain Di Tian, we may go and take a look, but we absolutely cannot bring them out. I believe you understand what I mean. With our current strength, we have no ability to revive them. One careless mistake might even expose their aura."
"I understand." Di Tian nodded, then continued, "Is there anything else?"
Zhu Wu nodded. "Besides the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, the other Dragon Kings, along with the corpses of many True Dragons, were swept away by the remnant God Sense of Lord Dragon God. The Dragon Souls of those True Dragons are also there. However, Lord Dragon God deliberately concealed them."
"The reason for doing so was likely to prevent the gods from conducting a large-scale search afterward."
As for how they had been hidden and taken away...
Sorry, I don't know!
Without pausing, he continued, "Guard Captain Di Tian, if I'm not mistaken, Lord Dragon God should have brought them to this world. After all, you, the Water Dragon King, the Fire Dragon King, and Lord Dragon God's other split form all arrived in this world."
"Perhaps that was why Lord Dragon God instructed you to hide yourself." Di Tian took over, sighing. "Lord Dragon God hoped that after escaping to the Lower Realm, you would find me and Lord, then lead us to those Dragon Souls and find a way to revive them."
"The faint trace of Dragon God Bloodline within you is undoubtedly the best guide for finding that concealed place. That is precisely why Lord Dragon God specifically instructed you. Only your clan would have had a chance to evade the gods' investigation."
"The Seven-Colored Dragon Scale on the forehead of your branch was personally bestowed by Lord Dragon God. It could block all external God Sense probes from those below the God King level. It was originally meant to prevent powerful outsiders from coveting the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures stored within your bodies, then tracking you down and ambushing you." At this point, Di Tian cast Zhu Wu a complicated glance and said helplessly, "I never expected... How were you discovered by the Asura God?"
Since the Treasure Hiding Beast's God Sense had been severely damaged and its memories were incomplete, he explained in great detail, hoping the other party could associate more details from its fragmented memories.
"It should have been the spatial tremors caused by the great war. Or perhaps it was the Bloodline Power that the wounded gods leaked into the surroundings during the battle. It could also have been the various energies left behind after God Skills collided." Zhu Wu sighed. "At that time, the battlefield was filled with Berserk energy. Perhaps I accidentally touched a trace of it and was noticed and locked onto by the Asura God, who then unleashed that Sword Light."
"The Asura God's divine sense was far too powerful. I had nowhere to evade." After saying that, his expression darkened, as though he blamed himself.
"Alas." Di Tian sighed. "You need not blame yourself. This was not your fault."
"If it had been me, I'm afraid I would not have done any better."
The strongest of the Treasure Hiding Beast branch only possessed the strength of a Second Level God. Being exposed before the Asura God and surviving at all was already a miracle. Besides, it was obvious that the Asura God's strike had been intended to stop the Treasure Hiding Beast from taking the many god-level Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures stored inside its body out of the God Realm.
After all, if they had been brought to the Lower Realm and found the Silver Dragon King, her injuries would certainly have recovered swiftly.
Is that so? Well, your imagination is spot-on. Zhu Wu forced out a faint smile. "Thank you."
It can block God Sense probes from anyone below the God King level. No wonder Tang Hao hadn't discovered me when I messed with Tang San for two nights in a row. Of course, it could also have been because I chose my timing well and hadn't drawn his attention. Either way, that's a great passive ability, he thought inwardly.
"I heard from Scarlet King that you already have some ideas." Di Tian continued, "What are they?"
At this moment, he completely believed that the one standing before him was the Treasure Hiding Beast, a Treasure Hiding Beast utterly loyal to the Dragon God.
At the same time, it was the key figure who would help the soul beast clan achieve its great revival in the future!
"Become a god." Zhu Wu raised his hand. Light flickered, and Little White appeared. "The owner of this body possessed a silkworm Martial Soul. I have fused my God Sense with it, turning it into an External Martial Soul. In a sense, this is my true body."
"Six segments? It has degenerated this severely!" Seeing the Seven-Colored Dragon Scale on the Martial Soul's forehead, Di Tian became even more certain that Zhu Wu was a Treasure Hiding Beast. Yet after looking over its entire body, he could not help frowning. The stronger Zhu Wu became, the stronger his God Sense would become, and the stronger his sensing ability would be. Naturally, the higher the chance of finding the corpses of the True Dragons Lord Dragon God had deliberately concealed long ago. But given the current situation, things did not look promising.
"The source of God Sense I have left is far too weak. This is already the limit of what I can do." Zhu Wu sighed and recalled his Martial Soul. "If not for that trace of Dragon God Bloodline transformed into essence blood remaining behind, my current condition would likely be even worse. This child's physical talent was truly too poor, but at the time, I had no other choice. I could only fuse that trace of essence blood into him to strengthen his body and stabilize his Martial Soul."
The Treasure Hiding Beast could only survive by relying on the Dragon God's aura. Without Dragon God Bloodline in its body, how could it sustain itself?
That made perfect sense!
"Of course, this is only temporary." His gaze suddenly became firm again.
"Guard Captain Di Tian, have you forgotten that my clan can evolve by consuming Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?" His tone shifted once more.
Di Tian seemed to understand. "So, you intend to inherit a god position and ascend to the God Realm in a human body, then release Lord Dragon God's other split form?"
"Correct." Zhu Wu nodded. "The Five Great Divine Kings may be able to see through this human body and perceive my true nature through my Martial Soul, but other gods do not possess such ability."
"As long as I conceal myself a little more at the time, I believe I can deceive even First Level and Second Level Gods."
"And once I release that split form, the two bodies can merge into one, and the Dragon God will reappear. With Lord Dragon God's strength, he will certainly be able to turn the situation around."
"As for the Five Great Divine Kings... Heh. Guard Captain Di Tian, after entering the human world this time, what do you think I found?"
