The Selfish Dragon God
Why can't the Soul Beast Clan become gods?
For thousands of years, countless powerful Soul Beast have cultivated to the level of 100,000, 200,000, or even 500,000 years, but they have never been able to take that final step and become gods.
They will even have to endure the Heavenly Tribulation that will kill them and annihilate them!
Even a 400,000-year-old Emerald Swan like Bi Ji, and even the Ferocious Beast in the core area of Star Dou Great Forest, whose strength is no weaker than that of human Titled Douluo or Super Douluo, and may even surpass them, still cannot become gods.
Why?
Because of that law that binds the plane!
That law not only prevented individuals in different planes from accessing the Cosmic Magnetic Field, but also fundamentally severed the path to godhood for the Soul Beast Clan!
For Soul Beast to become a god, it must draw upon cosmic energy to temper itself, undergo a complete transformation, and attain godhood. However, that law is like an invisible shackle, firmly locking this door shut.
No matter how hard the Soul Beast tried or how powerful it became, it could not push open this door.
And the Heavenly Tribulation that occurs once every 100,000 years also originates from this!
When Soul Beast cultivates for 100,000 years, it will face its first Heavenly Tribulation. In essence, the Heavenly Tribulation is the plane's laws purging "excessive" individuals. Because of the existence of that binding law, the plane cannot bear too much power that exceeds the limit. Therefore, whenever a Soul Beast cultivates for 100,000 years, the plane's laws will send down Heavenly Tribulation in an attempt to eliminate it.
Soul Beast that can withstand the Heavenly Tribulation will continue to live. Those that cannot will be reduced to ashes.
This is the destiny of the Soul Beast Clan!
A destiny casually decided by an ancient being before its death!
Unfortunately, Bai Yushan was unaware that his conjecture had touched upon the deepest secrets of this world. He was even less aware that his seemingly far-fetched deduction had inadvertently uncovered the root cause of the tragedy that had plagued the Soul Beast Clan for millennia.
If Di Tian knew what Bai Yushan was thinking right now, I wonder what he would think.
Perhaps he will be shocked.
Perhaps he would be ecstatic.
Perhaps, he would disregard everything and imprison Bai Yushan, keeping him by his side forever to help him break free from the shackles of fate imposed on the Soul Beast Clan.
After all, for the Soul Beast Clan race, the temptation of becoming a god is simply too great.
It is so large that it could drive any being mad.
Inside the cave, the firelight flickered.
Bai Yushan leaned against the cave wall, his brows furrowed, clearly still pondering the problem of the Magnetic Field Rotation.
His fingers tapped the ground unconsciously, making a soft "tap tap tap" sound.
Blue-white electricity flickered and crackled at his fingertips.
He tried countless times.
He tried pushing the speed of cell friction to its limit to sense the Cosmic Magnetic Field. As a result, he almost crippled himself.
He tried to use Conqueror's Haki to forcibly tear open that invisible barrier. As a result, the moment his Haki touched the barrier, it was bounced back, causing his blood to surge and almost making him vomit blood.
I've tried everything.
All attempts failed.
Bai Yushan took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
Countless thoughts may come and go like the wind through the forest or the tides crashing on the shore, stirring the mind for a moment; but the belief in the heart is like an anchor in the deep sea or a lamp in the long night, unwavering with the rise and fall of the waves, unextinguished by the gathering and scattering of clouds, always steadily pointing in the same direction.
Bai Yushan slowly opened his eyes, a scarlet light flashing briefly in the depths of his gaze.
His lips slowly parted, revealing a maniacal smile.
"Can't it be broken?"
He muttered to himself, his voice carrying a hint of mockery, a hint of madness, and a hint of... stubborn defiance.
"If you can't break it by hitting it, then keep hitting it until it breaks!"
"It's just a law, how could it possibly trap Bai Yushan for a lifetime?"
His voice grew louder and more impassioned until it was almost a roar!
Blue-white electricity surged from his body, coursing wildly through the cave with crackling sounds. The stones on the cave walls sizzled and emitted a burnt smell from the electric current.
Startled awake by the noise, Bi Ji opened her eyes groggily and looked at Bai Yushan, who was surrounded by electric currents and looked like a madman. Her emerald green eyes were full of doubt and worry.
"Xiaoshan? What's wrong?"
Her voice, soft and sleepy, sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet cave.
Bai Yushan was startled.
He turned his head and looked at Bi Ji.
When he saw Bi Ji's sleepy, worried face, the madness in his eyes vanished as quickly as the tide receded.
"Fine."
He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging electricity within him, and a nonchalant smile returned to his lips. "I had a nightmare, it scared me."
Bi Ji tilted her head, clearly somewhat disbelieving. But she didn't press for details, simply letting out a soft "Oh," before leaning back against the cave wall and closing her eyes.
"Then you should get some rest; we have a long journey ahead tomorrow."
Her voice was soft and languid, carrying a deep sense of sleepiness.
Bai Yushan watched Bi Ji fall asleep again, the smile on his lips gradually faded.
He raised his head and looked out of the cave.
Under the cover of night, the stars twinkled and the moonlight was like water.
His gaze pierced through the cave, through the night, as if he could see into the boundless depths of the universe.
Does the Magnetic Field Rotation?
He muttered to himself, a hint of determination in his voice.
I will definitely achieve it.
"No matter what that law is, no matter how terrifying its existence may be, I will shatter it, punch by punch!"
"No one can stop Bai Yushan's path!"
"Slay gods if they stand in my way, slay Buddhas if they stand in my way!"
"Even if the universe itself tries to stop me, I'll still tear a hole in it!"
His voice grew softer and softer, yet the determination within it grew stronger and stronger.
There's always a way out.
He believed that his will could overcome everything!
He believed that his power could destroy everything!
As long as he is strong enough to ignore that law and crush all obstacles, the door to the Magnetic Field Rotation will eventually open for him!
Now, what he needs to do is keep fighting and keep getting stronger!
Until I possess the power to shatter everything!
The Star Dou Great Forest is vast. Even just stepping onto its outer edge, one can still see the vibrant life that once thrived within its towering, sky-covering canopy.
The enormous ancient trees, one after another, have trunks so thick that it takes more than a dozen people to encircle them. Their canopies, like giant umbrellas, completely block out the sky above. Sunlight filters through the layers of leaves, casting dappled patterns of light, like scattered gold, onto the ground covered with fallen leaves.
The air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and vegetation, mixed with a faint fluctuation of Soul Power. Occasionally, a few birdsongs drifted from the depths of the dense forest, clear and melodious, adding a touch of vitality to this ancient forest.
