The core area of the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Forest.
After the battle between Di Tian and Xiong Jun ended, the two quickly returned to this place.
Di Tian ignored the astonished gazes of the other fierce beasts and directly flashed into a certain dark void, disappearing instantly.
Inside the void, a boundless silver dragon lay, and Di Tian stood before it with utmost respect.
"Master, why didn't you let me make a move just now? Otherwise, they would never have been able to capture the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python so easily," Di Tian asked with a trace of doubt on his face.
The silver dragon suddenly opened its eyes, and its voice resonated throughout the entire void:
"Di Tian, that person just now was not simple. His strength is probably no weaker than yours. Especially since he, like you, possesses the Yin-Yang Balanced Dual Soul Core. Even I find that extremely unusual. This level of power is not something an ordinary human soul master should possess."
"More importantly, this person possesses the Asura Demon Sword, and he has already begun to wield it. He is likely an extremely valued inheritor of the God of Asura."
Di Tian still seemed puzzled upon hearing this:
"Even if he is connected to the God of Asura, the Asura God himself cannot descend upon the Douluo Continent. I am confident that I can defeat him."
The Silver Dragon King sighed:
"If you had gone all out, things wouldn't have been that simple. There were not only the inheritor of the God of Asura but also the inheritors of the God of Rakshasa and the Angel God present at the scene. Even if I were not injured, I would not be able to fight against those three gods."
"But Master, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python are crucial to our plan. Without them, our future steps could be compromised, and the chosen one we are supporting may suffer a significant loss in strength," Di Tian expressed his concern.
"The child of destiny we have chosen will indeed be affected to some extent," the Silver Dragon King replied, "but he has his own fate and opportunities. Perhaps in the future, he will obtain an even greater fortune."
After hearing this, Di Tian fell silent. It seemed that his master's meticulous plan had encountered an enormous change, making everything feel unpredictable.
The Silver Dragon King continued, "I recalculated everything over the past two days. The future of the Douluo Continent has become increasingly uncertain, as if a major shift has occurred."
Di Tian was shocked:
"Master, how is that possible? With your strength, how can you fail to predict the future?"
The Silver Dragon King gently shook its massive head:
"I don't know why either. Originally, the fate of the Douluo Continent was divided into five parts, meaning five individuals were destined to become gods. But now, fate has shifted again, splitting into multiple branches. It has completely deviated from my predictions, making it impossible to foresee anything further."
Di Tian's expression grew more serious, and his voice even trembled:
"Master, are you saying that more than five gods will emerge on the Douluo Continent? But with your power, even if more gods appear, it shouldn't be to the extent that you cannot predict the outcome."
The Silver Dragon King was silent for a long moment before speaking again:
"My current strength is probably at the peak of a First-Class God, at most half a step into the God-King realm. I have not yet reached the level of a true God-King. Even so, I should still be able to predict the movements of most gods. The fact that I cannot means that this situation likely involves a God-King… or even a Creation God."
Di Tian's face darkened upon hearing this, and he murmured under his breath:
"Creation God? Could it be… Life and Destruction?"
The void remained silent for a long time, and the Silver Dragon King said nothing more.
After a long while, the Silver Dragon King finally spoke again:
"Di Tian, the future of our soul beast clan is now beyond my foresight. Something drastic has changed on the entire Douluo Star. I must leave for a while. During my absence, all matters in the Star Dou Forest will be under your command."
Di Tian hurriedly spoke:
"Master, I fear that I am not capable of handling such a great responsibility. And if you go out, won't the Asura God and others from the Divine Realm detect you? That would put you in danger."
The Silver Dragon King's massive eyes flickered as if recalling something:
"You need not worry about my safety. I will take human form when I leave. Though my strength will be restricted, I am still far beyond mere mortals. Even if I cannot exert my full power, I should be able to evade the perception of the gods in the Divine Realm."
"As for our plan, you shall continue as intended. If necessary, you may resort to extreme measures. Even if our strength is exposed, it is a risk we must take."
Di Tian seemed to remember something and quickly added:
"Master, what about your injuries? You have not yet fully recovered. If you remain outside for a long time, won't your wounds worsen?"
"The severe injuries I sustained back then are no longer a major issue. After so many years of recuperation, I have completely stabilized my condition, and it will not affect me."
As the Silver Dragon King finished speaking, a resounding dragon's roar echoed through the void, shaking even Di Tian with its immense pressure.
After the dragon's roar subsided, the enormous Silver Dragon King's form began to change rapidly. Its colossal figure gradually shrank, transforming into a silver streak of light before flying out of the Star Dou Forest, disappearing into the vast world beyond.
Di Tian deeply bowed toward the vanishing silver light:
"Respectfully sending off the Master!"
As the silver light disappeared, Di Tian left the void and returned to face the other fierce beasts.
Bi Ji, standing nearby, noticed Di Tian's unusually solemn expression and asked worriedly:
"Di Tian, did the Master reprimand you? Though this operation failed, it shouldn't impact our future plans, should it?"
Di Tian glanced at the gathered fierce beasts, particularly the ferocious-looking Xiong Jun and the perpetually grim 3 Eyed Golden Lion. Finally, he shook his head slightly and said:
"The Master remains in seclusion and did not reprimand me for this failure. For now, we will continue to wait in silence until the child of destiny emerges. Then, we will take our next step."
"Furthermore, the Master's seclusion may last for a long time. During this period, I will take full charge of all external matters. There is no need to report to the Master unless it is something of utmost importance. None of you should venture out without a good reason. If another incident like the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python occurs, I will not be rescuing anyone."
Hearing these words, the other fierce beasts remained silent. Even the usually aggressive Xiong Jun had nothing to say. The strength of human soul masters had exceeded everyone's expectations. Now, Title Douluo were appearing in large numbers, and there were even Ultimate Douluo among them. Even Xiong Jun could feel the danger.
Meanwhile, Yang Podi remained seated beside Bibi Dong and the others, his eyes closed as if resting. However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a faint sense of unease.
His expression grew serious.
"Even with my current strength, not even Di Tian should pose a threat to me. Why do I feel like something dangerous is coming?"
