Lake of Life, Di Tian did not speak immediately.
Lin Yuan's words "related to Abundance " clearly reminded him of the disaster that occurred in the Star Dou Great Forest many years ago. Back then, the Ancient Tree of Abundance took root deep in the forest, devouring Soul Power and life force, and could even grow continuously by relying on external attacks. If it hadn't attracted a trace of the power of the Aeon of the Hunt in the end, even Di Tian couldn't be sure how much that thing would have grown.
Now, many years later, the same power has reappeared, and this time it is no longer just a Abundance creation left behind on the Douluo Continent.
Lin Yuan looked at Di Tian and said directly, " The Abundance retinue has already entered Douluo Continent through the spatial rift. What we know so far is only the vanguard, but based on the information we have, their arrival here is definitely not accidental."
Di Tian frowned slightly. " Abundance retinue?"
"That's right." Lin Yuan nodded. "They are called Borisin. Their appearance is somewhat similar to wolf-like Soul Beast, but they are not Soul Beast in essence. They come from the Star Sea, and their bodies have been modified by Abundance power, giving them recovery abilities far exceeding those of ordinary life. Some of the stronger ones can even enter a state called Moon Rage, which greatly enhances their physical strength and recovery ability in a short period of time."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian's gaze deepened noticeably. He didn't care what those Borisin were called, nor did he care what Moon Rage's abilities were. What truly concerned him was that these things had already crossed worlds to reach the Douluo Continent.
Lin Yuan continued, "Currently, it's confirmed that at least three Borisin teams have entered Douluo Continent. The first team was responsible for searching for the Abundance Creatures scattered throughout this world. They had been tracking the Ambrosial Arbor and other things possessing Abundance Power, but that team has already been dealt with by us. Their leader is dead, leaving only a deputy as a prisoner."
He paused here, his gaze shifting to the dense forest surrounding the Lake of Life: "The second team has entered the Star Dou Great Forest. Their goal isn't to find Abundance creations, but to study the life and energy systems of this planet. Soul Master, Soul Beast, Soul Ring, and Soul Bone are all things they've never encountered before. Especially Soul Beast, which can accumulate power over time, are likely their primary research target."
The look in Di Tian's eyes turned completely cold.
The Star Dou Great Forest is the largest gathering place for Soul Beast on the continent, and most of the truly high-level Soul Beast are hidden deep within the forest. When a group of Abundance relatives from beyond the stars came here to study Soul Beast, no one would interpret this behavior as mere observation.
Lin Yuan naturally saw through his attitude, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the true purpose of their trip. "We have determined through a star map we seized from the Borisin that they are roughly located deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, but the area is too vast. It's unknown how long it would take for the Spirit Hall's people to search inch by inch. Therefore, I hope to borrow your help to find the location of that Borisin's team."
"Countless Soul Beast live here. You can mobilize groups of them in the outer, central, and core areas of the forest. As long as those Borisin move around in the forest, they can't possibly leave no trace. Rather than having a few outsiders like us search aimlessly, it's better to have the Soul Beast that actually live here keep an eye on them for us."
Di Tian did not immediately agree, but stared at Lin Yuan for a while before suddenly asking, "Has another creation entered Douluo Continent from the world of the god you believe in?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression became slightly more serious.
"To be precise, the Borisin don't belong to the Hunt; they are servants of the Abundance Lands. The Hunt and the Abundance Lands are enemies, and for Lan, their presence here means they are nothing more than prey to be eliminated."
Di Tian didn't dwell on the term, but continued to ask, "Besides these Borisin, have any other forces from the Star Sea entered this place?"
This question left Lin Yuan speechless.
The area around the Lake of Life was quiet, with only the faint sound of leaves rustling in the wind in the distance.
After a moment, Lin Yuan slowly shook his head. "I don't know."
He was telling the truth.
Borisin's entry into the Douluo Continent through the spatial rift proves that the two worlds are not absolutely isolated. The reason for that rift—whether it was caused by the Ambrosial Arbor or some more complex spatial change—remains unanswered at present.
Lin Yuan looked up at Di Tian, his voice lowering slightly. "However, since Borisin was able to enter, it also means..."
He stopped there.
Di Tian, however, already understood his meaning.
Since the Abundance retinue can enter the Douluo Continent through spatial rifts, it is naturally possible for other beings to do the same.
Borisin won't be the only one.
Today it may just be a few small teams, but in the future, it could be something completely different. To the Star Sea, Douluo Continent may just be an insignificant planet, but for the humans and Soul Beast living here, any truly powerful force from the Star Sea could bring a threat they have never faced before.
After a long silence, Di Tian finally made a decision.
"Good."
He turned to look at the endless forest beyond the Lake of Life, a cold glint in his golden eyes. "I will mobilize the Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest to search for those Borisin. The Scarlet King will be responsible for the outer and central areas, and Soul Beast over ten thousand years old will also receive orders. As long as those things you mentioned are still active in the forest, they will leave traces sooner or later."
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, "That's enough. Once you find the location, there's no need to let ordinary Soul Beast get close. Just confirm the direction and then give me the information. The Abundance power of the Borisin also affects Soul Beast, so there's no need to let them die in vain."
Di Tian glanced at him. "You certainly think very carefully about my people."
Lin Yuan shrugged. "I'm looking for Borisin, not here to make the Star Dou Great Forest pay for the Spirit Hall's deaths. Besides, if I really wreak havoc on your Soul Beast, next time I use this scale to find you, I'm afraid you'll come out and beat me up first."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian's cold expression softened slightly. He turned to the Scarlet King and directly ordered, "Pass down the order. From today onwards, all Soul Beast over ten thousand years old in the forest are to be on alert for unfamiliar wolf-like creatures. If they are spotted, do not make contact; only record their location and direction of movement."
The Scarlet King's three enormous heads nodded simultaneously, then he turned and ran into the depths of the forest.
Lin Yuan didn't linger. Now that Di Tian had agreed, things became much simpler. The Star Dou Great Forest was the territory of Soul Beast, and once the countless eyes that truly lived there began searching for their target, it would be almost impossible for that Bu Borisin team to continue hiding.
However, just as the Star Dou Great Forest began to quietly change due to a command from the Beast God, the Spirit City, hundreds of miles away, welcomed a guest that no one had anticipated.
The busiest street in Spirit City was bustling with people.
A girl in a green dress stood in the middle of the street, holding a small square bag in her arms, her long black hair simply tied back. She had been maintaining a distinctly blank expression since then. She first glanced at the fruit vendors on the street, then at the Soul Master in the Spirit Hall uniforms in the distance, and then looked up at the huge building towering in the center of the city.
There is no Starskiff.
There is no Jade Gate.
There was no familiar Xianzhou architecture.
Even the things the people on the roadside used exuded an air of backwardness that she couldn't understand at all.
The girl looked down at herself, then looked up at her surroundings, finally confirming that this was not a hallucination caused by working too long at the Divination Commission.
The next second, she suddenly clutched her head with both hands and shouted to the sky amidst the astonished gazes of countless passersby.
"Where the hell am I?!"
"Is this still Xianzhou?!"
The sound instantly echoed throughout the entire street.
Not far away, two Spirit Hall Soul Master who were on patrol stopped at the same time.
The girl seemed unaware that she had already successfully attracted the attention of the Spirit City patrol team less than fifteen minutes after arriving in this unfamiliar world.
