Chapter 47 I'll Take Charge Personally
Xiao Hongchen stood at the very front of the stands, his lips twitching wildly. After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth:
"This is the first time I've ever seen Grandpa like this in my entire life..."
Hearing this, Meng Hongchen smiled slyly: "It seems someone's focus is misplaced, isn't it? I remember just a few days ago, someone was confidently telling me at home that they would become twin stars with Chenxing, one focusing on soul guidance, the other on martial soul, right?"
Xiao Hongchen's face froze instantly.
Meng Hongchen took half a step forward: "How's it going, my genius Soul Master brother? Do you feel even the slightest bit of crisis now?"
"How come I remember someone being only a Level 4 Soul Master?"
Xiao Hongchen's face instantly flushed crimson, even the roots of his neck turning red, and his voice rose eight octaves: "How...how was I supposed to know he had the talent for high-altitude soul tools! And who could have imagined this? He created a modified version of the Sun God Needle on his very first try with soul tools, something even Elder Ye couldn't do—who would have thought?!"
"Besides, my soul tool is an all-rounder! An all-rounder, do you understand? Not a specialist who only excels in one area! Offensive, defensive, and support types—"
Watching Xiao Hongchen stammering and trying to save face, his neck flushed red with anxiety, Meng Hongchen pursed her lips, too lazy to expose her older brother's stubborn pride any further.
She put away her joking thoughts and turned to look at the icy beauty standing quietly to the side.
Ye Chenxing just displayed such astonishing talent that anyone else would have been stunned, but Qian Renxue remained calm and didn't even blink, as if it were all perfectly normal.
Clearly, she knew about Morning Star's talent much earlier than he did.
"Damn it..."
Meng Hongchen gritted her teeth inwardly, a strong sense of defeat and resentment instantly welling up in her heart.
She's one step ahead again! Is living nearby such a big deal?
Meng Hongchen clenched his fists secretly!
Moreover, not only that, but on the very first day of school, several girls have already been giving Chenxing flirtatious glances.
If I were alone by Chenxing's side, who knows how many people would secretly contact him! How many would raid his base!
Although in Meng Hongchen's opinion, those girls were far inferior to her in terms of looks, talent, and strength.
But that's only true for now! What if a transfer student suddenly appears in the future, whose talent, looks, and abilities surpass mine...?
Thinking of this, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
How could such a thing happen? Don't scare yourself, Meng Hongchen! Let's think about Ye Xue's problem first...
--------
Starry Sky Forest, Core Area.
The Lake of Life remains tranquil, and its beautiful scenery makes it hard to imagine that it is one of the most dangerous places in the Douluo Continent.
On this tranquil lakeside, a tall man dressed in black is kneeling on one knee with utmost respect.
No one knew how long he had been kneeling, so long that he hadn't even brushed away the few fallen leaves that had landed on his shoulders.
If the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest saw him now, they would be terrified.
Because the one kneeling on one knee was none other than the ruler of this forest, the Beast God, Di Tian.
Suddenly, without warning, a spatial rift opened up in the void in front of Di Tian.
The crack was silent and did not affect any of the surrounding space, as if it had always existed in this world.
At this moment, Di Tian's tall body trembled involuntarily. He lowered his head deeply, his voice filled with awe from the depths of his blood.
"Di Tian...Greetings, Your Majesty."
After a long silence, a melodious yet authoritative female voice echoed from the spatial rift:
"Di Tian, why have you disturbed my slumber? I need ten thousand years to recover before I possess enough power to evade the detection of the divine realm. You should understand how risky it is to awaken me at this time."
Di Tian's forehead almost touched the ground, his voice dry and low: "My lord, please calm down... I had no intention of disturbing your recovery. It is only because a great upheaval has occurred on Douluo Star that I am powerless to make a decision, and I can only implore my lord to decide."
"Oh?" The woman's voice from within the crack sounded slightly puzzled.
The next second, a huge dragon eye slowly opened from the depths of the rift.
It was a purple eye, its cold, vertical pupil containing mystery and nobility, as well as the supreme dragon might that only gods possess.
Being stared at by that dragon's eyes, the absolute and terrifying suppressive force originating from the deepest part of the dragon bloodline suddenly surged. At this moment, the beast god could not help but break out in a cold sweat, and even breathing became extremely difficult.
Di Tian took a deep breath, daring not to conceal anything, and reported the recent events in detail:
"My lord, I encountered a human boy in the Star Dou Great Forest. He... he was taken in by a mythical beast."
"The auspicious beast said that she couldn't sense the trajectory of that human's fate, yet she detected an aura on him that shared the same origin as hers. That human possessed many incredible secrets; not only did he completely drain the energy of the golden tree, which was intimately connected to the core of the plane's life, but even more strangely, he was able to summon a Limit Douluo to protect him the moment he awakened his Martial Soul..."
The purple light in the giant eye condensed slightly.
At this point, Di Tian paused, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly: "Furthermore... he most likely possesses the means to interfere with the gods. According to his own words, a god left a hidden device on the auspicious beast, which he removed, and he also shielded the divine realm from its perception of this place."
"The auspicious beast did indeed sense the changes within itself afterward, but... I am incompetent and cannot discern whether what it said is true or false, nor dare I presume to speculate. I can only trouble you, my lord, and ask you to come out of seclusion and make a decision."
The Silver Dragon King fell silent.
The enormous purple eye slowly closed, and after a moment of silence, she released an extremely faint sense of perception to explore the sky.
Although she was seriously injured, she was still half of the Dragon God, and with her abilities, she instantly realized a fact that shocked her as well.
Above Douluo Star, the suppression of the higher plane has truly vanished. The perception of the God Realm has been completely severed by a force that is utterly incomprehensible!
A storm raged in the Silver Dragon King's heart, and his enormous purple eyes suddenly contracted.
That human boy actually accomplished something that even she found difficult to achieve!
The Silver Dragon King possessed some of the Dragon God's memories, so she naturally knew how astonishing his move was. Removing the deity's hidden hand from the auspicious beast, absorbing the Golden Tree, and shielding the divine realm were, in her view, not impossible tasks.
The difficulty lies in the fact that Douluo Star is the place where this generation of Asura God ascended to heaven.
She was naturally aware of the immense power and influence of the Shrek Seven Devils' ascension to godhood.
After they become gods, they will not easily give up their attention to their lower realm. Moreover, she could vaguely sense that the other party had left many tricks up their sleeves in this lower realm, but because she was not at her peak, she could not find out them one by one.
Even so, the dimension was still blocked.
What does this mean? It means that even a powerful being like the Asura God is helpless against the human boy's methods!
Was it that the boy's concealment technique was too profound, making it impossible for the divine realm to find him? Or was it that the barriers he erected were too tyrannical, and even the power of a god-king could not forcibly break them?
The Silver Dragon King had no idea.
But at this moment, the only fact she could confirm in her mind was that, in terms of sheer skill, her opponent had already surpassed her!
The usually calm and collected Silver Dragon King was now experiencing a surge of turmoil. His ethereal voice carried a hint of urgency:
"Where is that human? Bring him to me immediately!"
"He...has already left." Di Tian lowered his head bitterly. "I didn't know his true background and dared not force him to stay, lest we become enemies."
The Silver Dragon King fell silent once again.
Deep within the cracks, her heart remained restless for a long time.
"That human boy actually accomplished something that even I found difficult!"
"Where is he now?" the Silver Dragon King asked again, his voice now calm.
"Reporting to my lord. In the Star Dou Great Forest, there is a leader of the plant-type beings named the Demon King. Do you remember him?" Di Tian asked respectfully. "After absorbing the Golden Tree, that human already possessed the talent of a child of nature. Upon seeing this, the Demon King attempted to sacrifice himself to him. However, I believed that as the leader of plant-type soul beasts, he should not be so irresponsible, so I temporarily suppressed the matter. Therefore, before leaving, the Demon King gave him one of his own seeds. If it is him, he can sense the approximate location of that human."
"Very good." The Silver Dragon King's voice was devoid of emotion; he simply asked, "What is his character like?"
"Excellent."
The Silver Dragon King nodded slightly, his enormous dragon eyes gleaming with astonishing wisdom: "I already have some guesses about the other party's identity. To be able to accomplish such an earth-shattering feat, coupled with the auspicious beast's special perception of him... he must be someone from another world."
"Another world?!" Di Tian's heart jolted, and he looked up in astonishment. "Could it be another plane below the God Realm?"
The Silver Dragon King nodded at first, but then shook his head.
"I'm afraid it's more than that. Di Tian, our world is far larger and more vast than you can imagine. There are even other divine realms beyond the divine realm."
"We don't know where he came from, nor do we need to know," the Silver Dragon King said with a hint of determination. "What we need to do now is to do our best to maintain a good relationship with him. At the very least, we absolutely cannot let him become our enemy. If we can find out his ultimate goal, that would be even better."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian was still somewhat puzzled: "My lord, is he really that important? Is he worth all this...?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an indescribable, terrifying dragon's might suddenly erupted from the crack!
Are you questioning me?
The ethereal voice suddenly turned cold. Di Tian felt as if a towering mountain was pressing down on his shoulders; cold sweat instantly soaked his back, and he repeatedly begged for forgiveness: "This subordinate dares not! This subordinate has overstepped his bounds!"
The dragon's might receded like a receding tide, and the Silver Dragon King said calmly, "He's not as simple as you think. In my opinion, he's probably a reincarnated god-king, or perhaps a wisp of a god-king's divine consciousness!"
"God King?!" Di Tian was shocked.
"This is even an underestimate," the Silver Dragon King sighed softly. "His act of severing the connection between the lower planes and the divine realm has undoubtedly shaken the foundation of the divine realm. Moreover, this is the territory of this generation's Asura God. His actions are tantamount to declaring war on the other side. Judging from the fact that the divine realm is still unmoved, the other side's trump card is likely to be above the God King..."
"But for various reasons, he probably couldn't unleash his full power, so he disguised himself as an ordinary human, shielded himself from the God Realm, and lay low on Douluo Star."
Di Tian's heart trembled violently. Above the God-King? In his mind, only the great Dragon God could reach that realm, so wouldn't that mean...?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow, feeling his mouth and throat go dry.
"My lord, then we..."
"Since the other party has no intention of being an enemy of our soul beast race, and has even taken the initiative to show goodwill to us... then why don't we just cooperate with him directly?"
"cooperate?"
"Indeed. Judging from his actions, although we don't know what he's after, at least we share a common enemy with him—the Divine Realm!" The Silver Dragon King's voice carried a hint of coldness. "Even if I fully recover from my injuries, as long as I haven't returned to the Dragon God Realm, I'm no match for them. So we need help."
Di Tian suddenly understood and said admiringly, "Your Majesty's insight is truly remarkable! You are indeed the god of wisdom for our soul beast race! But Your Majesty, how should we cooperate with him?"
The Silver Dragon King asked, "When you were with him, did anyone develop a good relationship with him?"
Di Tian pondered for a moment: "I'm afraid only auspicious beasts can do it. Besides that, there's the Demon King who is loyal to him."
"Since the Demon King wants to offer a sacrifice to him, let him go. The sacrifice of a ferocious beast is equivalent to us showing him goodwill," the Silver Dragon King arranged methodically. "Since the auspicious beast is on good terms with him, let's let the auspicious beast have more contact with him."
"My lord! Forgive my bluntness!" Di Tian suddenly raised his head and said urgently, "The auspicious beast is the destiny of our soul beast clan, the future of Xingdou, and must not be lost! Moreover, the auspicious beast is still young, I'm afraid..."
The Silver Dragon King fell into a brief silence.
"What you say makes sense. The auspicious beast has only been cultivated for ten thousand years and is immature. I'm afraid we can't control it."
She let out a long breath, her voice carrying a strange undertone: "Fine, I have one more candidate."
"Who is it?" Di Tian was taken aback.
Just then, accompanied by a dazzling silver light that almost illuminated the entire ominous land, the spatial rift above the Lake of Life instantly dissipated.
Immediately afterwards, a colossal dragon phantom flashed across the sky above the lake, and endless silver light rapidly converged towards the center, eventually transforming into a stunningly beautiful figure that stood quietly on the shimmering lake surface.
It was a human woman.
She had long, silver hair that shone like a shooting star, cascading down her back to her ankles. The hair was not only as smooth as water, but also had a strange texture like silver crystal.
She possessed a beauty that defied description; it seemed that no words in the world could adequately capture her breathtakingly beautiful face. Her slightly pale, fair skin was like flawless porcelain, and her deep, mysterious purple eyes seemed to hold endless enigma.
Even though she had just taken human form and was only wearing the simplest white dress, she still couldn't hide her breathtaking nobility and charm.
She slowly lowered her head, her purple eyes gazing at the speechless, shocked Emperor Tian. Her red lips parted slightly, and her ethereal voice echoed for a long time on the shores of the Lake of Life:
"I'll handle it myself."
