As Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion has always been well protected and has never encountered any real danger.
Now, suddenly knowing that a deity had turned against it, it felt it was doomed.
Gu Yuena raised her hand again to stroke the soft golden fur on its head, opened her mouth, but said nothing.
To resolve the issue of Tang Wutong's soul within its Sea of Consciousness, Tang San would inevitably be alerted.
That would be a disaster for her and for the Soul Beast.
At this moment, she looked at Kong Xuan beside her, her eyes filled with a pleading look.
At this moment, the only thing she could rely on was Kong Xuan, this unknown deity who was about to become her ally.
Kong Xuan stepped forward and stroked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soft fur; he had to admit it felt quite comfortable.
He then said softly, "Don't worry, you won't die."
According to the original plot, the Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion did indeed sacrifice itself for Huo Yuhao.
But now that Kong Xuan has arrived, the original plot has been completely messed up. He has already intercepted Huo Yuhao, so the plot of the Emperor Auspicious Beast sacrificing itself and dying will not happen.
However, if a wisp of Tang Wutong's soul remains in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Sea of Consciousness, then Tang San could very well use this to influence the lower realm from the Divine Realm.
He thought for a moment and then said, "As long as you stay safely in the Star Dou Great Forest, you'll be fine."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded obediently. Although it was the first time it had met Kong Xuan, and although he was a human, it could feel a reassuring power emanating from Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan then looked at Gu Yuena's still serious face and smiled, " Tang San's influence on the lower realm is currently limited, so there's no need to worry too much. After some time, I'm confident I can completely resolve this matter."
Kong Xuan has now officially fought against Tang San, and his fear of him has diminished considerably.
Moreover, the flow of time is different in the Divine Realm and the Lower Realm. Kong Xuan is confident that he will have power surpassing Tang San within a few decades or even a decade.
In other words, in ten or twenty days, the balance of power in the Divine Realm will have shifted dramatically.
Hearing Kong Xuan say this, Gu Yuena nodded in relief.
No longer dwelling on the Auspicious Beast, she asked, "What brings you to the Core Circle this time? You can tell me now, right?"
Kong Xuan smiled and said, "We'll talk about it when we get there."
"You..."
Gu Yuena looked at Kong Xuan, her small fists clenched involuntarily, and her delicate face showed a pouty expression.
"Snort!"
She then snorted and said, "To the Core Circle, the Lake of Life."
After saying that, she took to the air.
Kong Xuan deployed his Flying Soul Tool and followed behind Gu Yuena.
The Scarlet King also ran wildly with all four claws, keeping up with the two figures.
At the same time, it also released the aura of Ferocious Beast to prevent any Soul Beast from seeking death and attacking the two figures above.
Without deliberately suppressing their speed, Kong Xuan and Gu Yuena quickly arrived above the Core Circle.
As they slowly descended, a clear blue expanse suddenly filled their field of vision.
Lake of Life lies nestled in the embrace of towering ancient trees, its surface undisturbed, reflecting the dense canopy overhead and the occasional sliver of sunlight. From afar, it resembles a meticulously polished emerald.
A gentle breeze carries a refreshing, moist scent, as if the air itself is infused with Life energy, and each breath allows one to feel the soul expand.
A deep, respectful voice suddenly rang out in front of him. "My lord!"
Before the words were even finished, a slight ripple spread through the space, as if a pebble had been lightly touched the surface of water.
A figure dressed in a black robe appeared out of thin air, landing slowly yet with an indescribable air of majesty.
This handsome middle-aged man, with a hint of vicissitude in his brows, was none other than Beast God Di Tian Kong Xuan had met once before.
Gu Yuena nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping across the calm lake surface, her voice soft yet carrying an undeniable power. "How has Star Dou been doing lately?"
Di Tian stood with his hands at his sides, his tone respectful. "Everything is as usual!"
His gaze kept involuntarily drifting towards Kong Xuan, a human boy he hadn't paid much attention to back then, but who he later learned from Gu Yuena to be a god hiding his true identity.
Even now, Di Tian still couldn't sense anything special about Kong Xuan; judging from his Soul Power fluctuations, he was only at the Soul King level.
Gu Yuena had witnessed Di Tian's actions. She frowned slightly and said, " Di Tian, don't be rude!"
Di Tian's heart skipped a beat. He realized that his investigation into a deity's situation was indeed an offense.
He quickly nodded slightly to Kong Xuan and said, "I apologize for my rudeness."
"It's alright!"
Kong Xuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
The Scarlet King, accompanied by the Emperor Auspicious Beast, arrived at the edge of the Lake of Life and obediently lay down on the ground, awaiting the summons from the tree.
Gu Yuena then asked, "Can you tell me now?"
Di Tian didn't understand the meaning of those words, but he could tell that his master was asking Kong Xuan a question.
Upon arriving at their final destination, Kong Xuan nodded and said, "Actually, I've come here to ask for your help."
Gu Yuena looked at Kong Xuan and asked in confusion, "Need help?"
"My original body is still dormant, and may not be able to help in creating this avatar."
In Gu Yuena's view, the matter that even a deity like Kong Xuan needed to seek help for was definitely not simple; she had thought that it would require her own divine Divine Power to assist him.
Kong Xuan then explained, "You don't need to use your physical power; with the help of Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beast, it will be fine."
"My situation is similar to yours; I can't freely use Divine Power. Fortunately, this time it doesn't require too much power."
Kong Xuan extended his right hand, and a tray with a wooden base appeared in his hand.
" Soul Beast embryo?"
Gu Yuena revealed its name: it was the God Sealing Altar, which she had bought at an auction for a huge sum of money when she participated in the competition in Star Luo City!
According to the description at the time of the auction, what was sealed in this God Sealing Altar was a Soul Beast embryo.
"That's right." Kong Xuan looked at her and said, "One of my purposes in coming to the Star Dou Great Forest this time is to release this Soul Beast embryo."
"With the power I can currently wield, I'm afraid I can't guarantee the safety of the Soul Beast embryo, so I can only rely on the power of the Ferocious Beast in the Core Circle."
It was clear from Kong Xuan's words that he did not intend to use the Soul Beast embryo himself, but rather to save its life and restore its freedom.
Di Tian's eyes flashed with golden light, and his favorability towards Kong Xuan increased significantly.
After all, they had only heard about Kong Xuan from others before, but now they had personally experienced his goodwill towards Soul Beast.
Gu Yuena's purple eyes trembled slightly, and she realized she hadn't misjudged him.
She immediately promised on behalf of all the Ferocious Beast in the Core Circle: "Don't worry, we will do our best. What do you need us to do?"
Kong Xuan scanned the area and discovered that the only Ferocious Beast present were now Di Tian and the Scarlet King.
He said, "Just to be on the safe side, let's call back all the Ferocious Beast from the Core Circle."
Gu Yuena nodded, then glanced at Di Tian.
Di Tian understood what she meant, and then turned around.
Then, Di Tian looked up at the sky and let out a deep yet extremely penetrating dragon roar.
The dragon's roar echoed above the Lake of Life and gradually spread outwards.
Kong Xuan's enhanced hearing clearly indicated that as the dragon's roar spread, everything around him quieted down.
It was as if all the Soul Beast that heard the dragon's roar had been frozen in place, and dared not utter another sound.
