It Is Our Duty!

"Has something changed in the God Realm?" Di Tian could not help asking.

"Indeed." His gaze suddenly turned sharp. "The Asura God has already begun searching for a successor. I saw one of the candidates. Even if I died, I would never forget the fluctuation of that divine intent aura that shattered my God Sense. It was definitely him!"

"The Asura God is about to be replaced. That is indeed good news," Di Tian said thoughtfully.

"Once he passes down his divine position, this generation's Asura God will most likely choose to leave the God Realm and explore the depths of the universe, just as Lord Dragon God did back then."

"And the newly ascended Asura God will also need time to adapt to the divine position. For quite some time, his true combat strength will definitely be greatly diminished compared to the previous Asura God."

"In that case, dealing with him will naturally be much easier."

"Why not kill him before he ascends to the God Realm and leave the divine position vacant?" Zhu Wu cut in with a cold smile.

"Hm?" Di Tian's gaze sharpened. "What do you mean?"

Zhu Wu said nothing. He raised a hand slightly and summoned his Martial Soul once more. "Release the Blue Silver Emperor."

As soon as he spoke, light gleamed in his palm, and the Porcelain Bottle containing the transplanted Blue Silver Emperor appeared.

"A Blue Silver Emperor regenerated from a seed?" Di Tian was somewhat surprised as he swept his gaze over the golden patterns on the leaves.

"She is also the wife of one of the successor candidates," Zhu Wu replied. "The human carrying the Asura God's divine intent is called Tang Hao. This body of mine came from the same village as him. He also has a child named Tang San, who is around the same age as this body."

"The key is that the child awakened a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power."

"An ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul could never awaken with Innate Full Soul Power." Di Tian spoke with a contemplative expression. "So you suspect that his mother is the Blue Silver Emperor. You even suspect that he awakened Twin Martial Souls and has already caught the Asura God's eye?"

Worthy of someone who had lived for countless years—knowledgeable and quick to understand with just a hint. Zhu Wu nodded. "Exactly. Since Tang Hao was chosen by the Asura God, his innate talent naturally cannot be low. How could his Martial Soul be suppressed by an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul? And if it was not suppressed, then there is only one possibility: the Martial Souls of both parents were of comparable quality, and Tang San also awakened another high-grade Martial Soul."

"So, I followed him."

As he spoke, he put away the Blue Silver Emperor and continued, "Every year, around the New Year, Tang Hao would leave for a time. On the surface, he seemed to be entering the city to buy New Year supplies, but in truth, he went elsewhere. That made me suspicious."

"In the end, I found this Blue Silver Emperor deep within a nearby Mountain Range, inside a Stone Cave behind a waterfall. There was also a right leg Soul Bone left behind by the Blue Silver Emperor. If my guess is correct, the Blue Silver Emperor should have died after sacrificing herself for Tang Hao."

"A sacrifice!" Di Tian's eyes flickered.

He was angered that a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had sacrificed herself for a human.

The next moment, as if he had thought of something, he immediately asked, "You said you found that Blue Silver Emperor inside a cave?"

"That's right!" Zhu Wu sneered. "Why, after so many years, is this Blue Silver Emperor so weak?"

"Why was she transplanted into a cave that was nearly devoid of sunlight and cut off from the Blue Silver Grass outside, instead of being returned to her former territory?"

"Guard Captain Di Tian, don't you find that strange?"

"He did it deliberately?" A flash passed through Di Tian's eyes, and his expression turned icy. "Hmph, he brought it upon himself!"

"I do not know what truth is hidden within this," Zhu Wu continued. "But perhaps we can turn it into the truth!"

Di Tian's expression changed. "You mean to alter this Blue Silver Emperor's thoughts and have her kill Tang Hao and his son?"

"Exactly." Zhu Wu nodded. "It may be difficult, but it is not impossible. As for how exactly to carry it out, or whether it can be carried out at all, we will have to wait until I return to the human world and investigate further before deciding. For now, what I need most is to increase my strength, find the inheritance sites left on this continent by the gods of the God Realm, and continually seek out Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to consume and nourish the Dragon God Bloodline."

At this, he raised his head and looked directly at Di Tian, saying solemnly, "Guard Captain Di Tian, regardless of whether I ultimately succeed or fail, before I leave, I will strip out the Dragon God Bloodline within me that has grown stronger through nourishment. At that time, you may pass it on to that silver giant dragon's split body."

Before he could finish, the three Soul Beasts present all changed expressions. Scarlet King, in particular, immediately regarded him with solemn respect.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion stared blankly at the slender figure before her with her three watery eyes, feeling that he had suddenly become incomparably towering.

"That way, it can be considered leaving behind another measure of hope." Zhu Wu sighed. "It is also the only thing I can do for Lord Dragon God."

"Senior Treasure Hiding Beast, don't think so negatively." Three-Eyed Golden Lion finally could not help speaking.

Zhu Wu turned his head, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Xiao Ni, you are right. Who can say what the future holds?"

"Indeed. Perhaps things will not develop in the worst direction." Di Tian continued, "From what I can see, there are no flaws in your plan. It is highly feasible. As long as you successfully inherit a divine position and become a god, even stripping away your bloodline will not harm you. At most, your strength will decline somewhat. And as long as the plan succeeds and Lord Dragon God is successfully resurrected, I believe he will not forget everything you have done."

At this, the figure of the Silver Dragon King surfaced in his mind.

The resurrection of the Dragon God required the fusion of the two bodies, and the Silver Dragon King, as one of the split bodies, would likely disappear as a result.

Thinking of this, he fell silent for a moment before continuing, "Zhu Wu, I will call you by that name."

"This matter is of great importance and involves Lord—the Silver Dragon King. As one of Lord Dragon God's split bodies, I believe she has the right to know about your plan."

If the person involved did not agree, then that would truly be... Scarlet King could not help thinking of this, but he did not dare say anything.

"Rest assured, everything you have done has been for our Soul Beast clan. I believe Lord will not blame you," Di Tian continued.

From a certain perspective, freeing the Golden Dragon King and facilitating the fusion of the two bodies meant sending the Silver Dragon King to her death. Zhu Wu naturally understood that.

It seemed that, no matter what, he would have to meet the Silver Dragon King today.

"Then there is no time to lose. Let us go at once." He nodded with a solemn expression.

He looked as though everything he had done was for the future of the Soul Beasts.

For the great revival of the Soul Beast clan, it was our duty!

Was it really appropriate for me, a human, to put on such an act?

Whatever. Keeping myself alive is what matters right now!

Once I leave the Star Dou Great Forest, the sky will be high and the emperor far away. The sea will be vast enough for birds to fly as they please.

Thus, Scarlet King remained behind to continue protecting Three-Eyed Golden Lion, while Zhu Wu followed Di Tian to the shore.

Then Di Tian waved his large hand, and the water ahead immediately sank inward as the surrounding air twisted slightly. From afar, it looked as though a round bubble were supporting the surface of the water.

Di Tian went first, lightly jumping onto it as though walking on solid ground.

Seeing this, Zhu Wu followed behind.

Without a sound, the bubble carried the two of them as it slowly sank beneath the water's surface.
